Rebound Relationship - Character mistakenly believes they're just a rebound
My love for this cracky drummer ’ship has returned in full of late, so I’ve got a ton of ideas for stories I’d love to read about them. The above are all sort of angsty-Stew ideas; anything where he’s not sure if Taylor is really in love with/wanting to be with him instead of someone else (Dave? An ex-wife/girlfriend?) Or worrying about the difference in their ages and what that could mean down the line, or if Taylor might want to have (more?) children when Stew is well and truly past and over those days.

Pushing self to recover too quickly
Soulmate AU - Soulmates Share Pain
Soulmate AU - Injuries inflicted are mirrored on Soulmate
Sex Mishaps
Divorce
Character A lives with Character B while B recovers
A lot of these are little more silly/sweet ideas. I love soulmate aus so something where they share injuries and pain? Maybe with long distance comforting when one or the other is on the road touring? Both seem to have their klutzy side or tendencies (especially Stewart, actually, between breaking his collarbone playing polo once, hurting his elbow bike riding which in part cost him one touring gig in the past. So I guess that would be a bit more “both hurt” if they’re sharing pain, but…interpret as you will, please!)
Sex Mishaps could play into the above idea too - they try something “new” and it doesn’t work out as planned and the after-effects are not that fun when one/both have to perform soon afterwards?
The last two could be combined in some good old emotional h/c, too. Post-breakup with someone else, Taylor moves in with Stewart for support? And one thing leads to another…

Hurt in the wilderness
What Happened Last Night? - No One Remembers

Wilderness Survival
These are all totally crack prompts and requests…feel free to combine or use individually as you might wish. A curse has been placed on these (or all?) drummers affecting their ability to play the drums? Neil invites Stewart & Tay up to Cana for a vacation/retreat and everything goes horribly wrong? They all wake up in some strange situation with no recollection of how they got there?
Fandom: The Police (Band)
Stewart Copeland/Sting (both hurt)
Dysfunctional Relationships
Getting Back Together
Confessions unresolved issues from their past
Trying to make amends for past mistakes
Under the Influence
Drunken Confessions
This ship is always an old favorite of mine. I would absolutely love any of these prompts set during the time period of the reunion tour…dealing with all of their past (emotional/sexual) issues and trying to put things right, or just dealing with each other with greater emotional maturity now that they’re older.
Trapped In Elevator
A silly prompt for either their younger days or the reunion tour. Whatever would they do to pass the time waiting for rescue? Does one of them have a panic attack while trapped? Do they end up getting in a brawl that only makes matters worse?
Post-Apocalypse
Crack fic or serious. Any kind of apocalypse-type story. Are they somehow forced to survive together, whether they want to or not? Facing the end of the world and having to admit to how they really feel before it’s too late?
Fandom: Law & Order: SVU
John Munch/Odafin "Fin" Tutuola (hurt Fin)
Bar Room Brawl
Bigotry & Prejudice
Character Defends Another Character From Bigots
I will never say no to more Munch/Fin fic! And right now I’m definitely craving something where John takes care of Fin after an injury or hurt of some kind.
Any of these three can be combined into one fic (or used separately!)…I just had an idea of maybe John & Fin (& the rest of the squad?) celebrating something at a bar, and somehow a bar room brawl breaks out? Maybe it’s a cop bar and someone makes a rude comment about John & Fin’s relationship and all hell breaks loose? Feel free to include any supporting/other characters from the SVU ’verse here. (My only fandom specific DNW is no background Barisi or Barson, please.)
Character believes no one is coming to save them
Presumed Dead
Pushing self to recover too quickly
Any of these would totally push my buttons. I’d love some seriously angsty Munch fic where Fin is being stoic about his situation or condition while John is going crazy with worry.
Peter Stone/Brian Cassidy (hurt Brian)
I feel like Stone has shippy potential with just about everyone in the SVU verse, but after the recent episode “Facing Demons” I really, really want some Stone/Cassidy fic!
Childhood Trauma
Learning to be Loved
Past Rape/Non-con
Comforter Rains Down Retribution On Hurt Character's Behalf
Revelation of Past Rape
Obviously these prompts are all related to “Facing Demons” and I really want to see some post-episode follow-up with these two. Can Peter help Brian get past what happened to him as a child? Poor Brian just seems so broken, I want to see him realize he deserves love and he’s not “damaged goods” the way he seems to think he is.
blizzard
Trapped
Alternatively, Peter and Brian trapped together at the DA’s office one night during a blizzard? This could be a lot more silly and sweet, though obviously with still a focus on hurt!Brian and maybe the isolation giving them the quiet time to talk and open up.
Fandom: The Orville (TV)
Claire Finn & Kelly Grayson (hurt Claire)
Physically Injured Character Giving Medical Instructions to Save Their Own Life
aftermath of breakup
I love, love love this show and am craving some fic focusing on the awesome women on the Orville crew.
I’d enjoy any story of these two bonding and being strong together. A mission fic, perhaps, where Claire gets injured and has to instruct Kelly on how to help her until back-up/the ship arrives to rescue them. Or, a story where Kelly helps Claire deal with the aftermath of the events in “Identity” and sorting out how (or if) she can ever go forward with a relationship with Isaac again. Given Kelly’s recent break-up herself they both seem like they could use some emotional support.
- I generally prefer happy endings, even happy-sad or happy-angsty endings, over ones that are overwhelmingly sad or depressing.
- I’m ok with any rating, gen to explicit smut.
- Snuggling, massages, shared showers/baths as ways of care-taking and showing affection
- For explicit fic: sexy fun that isn’t all about penetration. I love frot, oral sex, 69, extended kissing scenes, characters so turned on by each other that they can hardly last beyond some sensual touching, erotic massage, etc.
General DNWS:
- Pregnancy/kidfic, unless specifically requested. Debating or discussing the possibility of having children is fine, but I’d prefer no implications that a person or couple isn’t “complete” without children.
- Cheating/infidelity within a requested relationship, even if there is a happy ending.
- Public humiliation/embarrassment (unless it’s humiliating Elliot Stabler, lol.)
- BDSM beyond the playful use of restraints, sensory denial, or spanking.
- Other kink-related DNWs: bloodplay, watersports, scat, sounding.
- Unrequested AUs (high school, coffee shop, mundane, etc.)
- For Real Person ships: I generally prefer minimal mention or inclusion of any real life partners or children unless they are public figures/celebrities in their own right.
