Star Trek (TNG or DS9?) Canon Couples, Ideal Date Nights

[dray]

I'd love to see any of the canon couples (or hinted-at couples) in TNG or DS9 going on an ideal date for one or a compromise for both. One of the fun things I find about most of the pairings mentioned is that the characters have to negotiate one another's differences. Something to explore and celebrate that would be lovely!

Other parts of Trek are welcome, but my SO and I have just finished binging TNG and are working up through DS9, so they're fresh in my mind. (I'm sure by this point there are already tonnes of ficlets written to cover this topic, but I'm new to interacting with fandom. Any recommendations would be swell.)

FILL: Deep Space Nine, Kira/Bareil, Ideal Date Nights, Rated G

[ex_gwenynnefydd424]

(you didn't mention how far into DS9 you were, so apologies if this pairing is a little spoilery!)

Kira could not remember why she had agreed to come to Ashalla's Botanical Gardens in the first place. She'd heard that they'd recently gotten some new plants, and Bareil had asked her along on a date to see them. Bareil wasn't with her now, having practically bounced to go and see some variants of some shrub or another, leaving Kira to try and navigate her way out of what seemed to be a maze of moreka and salam grass. It was not a fun maze to escape from - Kira's nerves made her jumpy, and the tall grass reminded her too much of the wild grass plains she'd had to crawl through during the Occupation. With every turn, she half expected to see the end of a phaser, or a Cardassian attached with a cruel smile, or even one of the nastier creatures that lived in the Bajoran wilderness. Her anxiety was not helped by the noise of the gardens - in another section, Kira could hear the shreiking birds that were kept near the jumja trees, and the voices from other patrons were vague, menacing murmurs muffled by the grass. Kira shook her head, and willed her breathing to slow and her heart to calm down. Keep it together, Major...

As she turned a corner, she felt a hand on her elbow, and she yelped in fear. Heart ricocheting in her chest, she whirled around to face her assailant. Her hand went straight to where her phaser was before she was even aware of it, but she stopped herself from drawing it, coming back to herself. Bareil was a step away, hands up, his expression showing concern and worry. Kira exhaled, hard - she was safe. It was just Bareil.

"Nerys?" Bareil approached her once he was certain she was not about to shoot him. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Antos," she said quickly, forcing herself to relax. "I'm sorry. Hiding in the grass just... brings back bad memories."

Bareil looked a little guilty. "I'm sorry too - I didn't mean to stay in this section so long. Come, lets go this way..."

Very gently, Bareil took her arm again, and guided her towards a more open space. The tall walls of moreka and salam grass gave way to raised beds of small shrubs and tiny flowering plants - a nursery, Kira noted. Bareil still looked worried about her, but Kira gave him a smile, and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"I'm alright," she murmured. "You can go and explore."

Bareil paused for a moment, thinking, but he nodded, and moved off down the rows of flora. Kira followed, smiling at Bareil's clear enthusiasm at all the plants available for him to admire. This was why I agreed to come, Kira thought, I like seeing him like this.

"I hear they're trying to grow alvas here," Kira said, for want of something to say. "I suppose you'd come here every day if they'd succeed."

"I do like alvas," Bareil immediately turned away from the flower he was examining, and grinned at her. "But I'd come every day just to see how they managed to grow them. Did you know I tried growing alvas once?"

"At the monastery?"

"Mmm. I didn't succeed - the berries grew small and bitter, and the monks were very annoyed that the vines had climbed up the walls."

"That's a shame."

"It made a nice gin, though. I still have a bottle left." Almost without Kira noticing, Bareil curled one arm around Kira's waist, and he slowly brought them to a halt. "If you'd like to come to dinner tonight, we can share it."

Kira kissed him in reply, and despite her earlier reservations about being here, she couldn't deny that kissing Bareil here, in the midst of all these flowers, was kind of romantic. Bareil seemed to agree, and after they broke apart, he held them close, forehead to forehead. The gesture was warm and comforting, and Kira felt like she could easily drift off in the comfort of Bareil's arms.

"I did have something I wanted to show you," Bareil murmured, almost as if afraid to break the moment. "May I?"

They parted reluctantly, but not for long - within a second, Bareil took her hand, and together they walked towards a small plant near one of the walls. The plant was fairly bushy, with olive-green leaves, a waxy texture, and delicate little purple blooms. This one Kira recognized immediately - Bajoran lilac, her mother's favourite flower, and hers too. Very gently, Bareil picked up a fallen bloom, and tucked it behind Kira's ear.

"Lilac," he smiled. "Your favourite. It suits you, I think."

"I don't wear flowers much," Kira laughed, a little self-conscious.

"You should - you look wonderful wearing them."

Bareil pressed a kiss to her forehead, and Kira closed her eyes, contented.

Stranger Things, Joyce/Hopper, Romantic Dinner

[kingstoken]

Hopper takes Joyce out to a romantic dinner, but Joyce doesn't seem to realize that it is a date (Might as well add the prompt I used as an example)

Stranger Things, Joyce/Hopper, Couple time turns into a rescue

[sholio]

They're supposed to be having a nice evening at home, with the kids elsewhere ... until they get a frantic call for help and have to rush off to find out what kind of disaster their children have gotten into this time.

Stranger Things, Joyce/Bob, The Beginning

[sholio]

How did the Joyce/Bob relationship start? How did they first start talking to each other? What got them past the initial "that person's pretty cool, I wonder if they're into me?" hurdle. Any snippets from the early days of their relationship are welcome.

Battlestar Galactica, Ellen/Saul, remembering

[deborah_judge]

Ellen and Saul fall in love again, sort of but not quite remembering that they've been in love (and been married) before.

Battlestar Galactica, Roslin/Cain, AU

[deborah_judge]

AU in which Roslin and Cain are working together.

Trollhunters, Ophelia Nunez/Javier Nunez, dealing with NotEnrique

[sholio]

After the Nuñez parents eventually end up in the know about Claire's extracurricular activities, at some point they must've found out the story behind NotEnrique, or at least the key points. I'd love to see them basically adopting him, in a low-key kind of way like nobody can remember quite when NotEnrique started showing up at all the Nuñez family events, he just does. But in general, I'd love to see the Nuñez parents interacting with NotEnrique once they know who he is, friendly or not.

Riverdale, Tom/Sierra, Proposal

[(Anonymous)]

Tell me what the proposal was like, did Tom get down on one knee? Did Sierra propose to Tom? Did they just discuss it and decide they wanted to be together for life? I need some McKeller romantic fluff.

Re: Fill: Riverdale, Tom/Sierra, Proposal

[kingstoken]

They lay in a puddle of post-coital bliss, her head against his broad chest. Kevin and Josie had both gone to an end of summer pool party at Thornhill, and Tom and her had made the most of the privacy.

Sierra got up slightly, supporting herself with one arm, while her other hand played with the hair on his chest.

"I better go, Kevin will be home soon." He caressed her cheek, then tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

"I don't want you to go, in fact, I don't want to ever be away from you again." Her heart melted at the sentiment, but then she saw how intently he was looking at her.

"Wait, Tom, what are you saying?"

"What I'm saying is, I want you to marry me."

(A03)

Star Trek VOY, Janeway/Chakotay, hurt/comfort

[frith_in_thorns]

I'd love some fic of Chakotay looking after Janeway in the aftermath of one of her bits of Captaining that's ended with her injured. (Episode tags also very welcome!)

The 100, Indra/Marcus/Thelonius, canon au

[elasticella]

canon au where the three find comfort in each other, and bring about a more lasting peace

Fill

[lady_katana4544]

On AO3

"Why should I trust your offer? The Sky People have only brought trouble since their arrival from the Sky's broken grasp."

Marcus looks up from the stone that he'd been staring at since Thelonius had dragged the three of them into this room to discuss a deal and looked over at the two of them.

She was glaring daggers at Thelonius as the man had reached out towards her; the woman's body was coiled tensely, waiting for a reason to strike out with the dagger that she no doubt had hidden somewhere on her beautiful, lithe frame.

Finally, Marcus spoke before something else pushed her over the edge of sanity.

"There are many reasons; one could even about having a partner to comfort you after a rough night. But we could do one better than Clarke and your Commander. These teenagers would fall apart without someone in the background to guide their decisions. Having you with Thelonius and me would be a better partnership perhaps than the girls." Marcus stated calmly as they both looked at him quietly.

For a long moment, Indra is silent as she stares at him with narrowed eyes and then suddenly she retrieves the hidden dagger that he knew she'd had stashed somewhere and pointed it towards them.

"I accept your offer, Marcus Kane of the Sky People and Thelonius Jaha of the Sky People. But I get to gut you both if there's a wrong move from you or your people against mine," Indra responded softly.

"That is acceptable."

Teen Wolf, Noshiko, immortality

[elasticella]

the soft horror of the everlasting

for shipping, Ken and/or any of the women of Beacon Hills is great, or if you wanna just go character driven or family feels with her and Kira outlasting everyone else, go wild \o/

Star Trek VOY, Janeway/Tuvok, dancing

[sixbeforelunch]

Tuvok doesn't enjoy dancing in public, but it is only logical to see to the contentment of one's mate.

Golden Kamuy, Hijikata/any, teach

[(Anonymous)]

God, someone do something about this sexy old man.

Golden Kamuy, Kiroranke/Tsurumi, doublecross

[(Anonymous)]

Kiroranke doesn't recognize him. Or course he doesn't.

Golden Kamuy, Hijikata/Wilk

[(Anonymous)]

Two masterminds: a prison romance.

White Collar, Peter/Elizabeth, being older parents

[sholio]

I'd love to see anything to do with the Burkes and being parents later in life: trying to muster enough energy to keep up with a toddler, being in their 50s/60s when bb!Neal graduates from high school, that kind of thing. Neal etc. are welcome to show up!

Timeless, Agent Denise Christopher/Michelle Christopher, domestic fluff

[glassesofjustice]

I really am open to anything and everything you could want to write about Agent Christopher and her wife. I think she is a really compelling character and definitely doesn’t get much attention in this fandom aside from background or people who want to tag lesbian character of color. There is really only one fic that puts Denise/Michelle at the forefront.

Star Wars: Rogue One, Baze Malbus/Chirrut Imwe, coming home again

[senmut]

I love that Baze is on and off their planet, and like the idea of their reunions being intense.

Back to the Future, Doc/Clara, Courtship

[raesoflight]

The time-train is still a long way off, but this isn't 1985, and they can't just start living together out of nowhere. People Will Talk. How does Doc adjust to 1885 ideas of dating? How long do they wait before getting married? Do Doc's modern sensibilities make things difficult?

Re: Back to the Future, Doc/Clara, Courtship

[acequeenking]

Oh this is such a good idea!

Team Fortress 2, Heavy/Medic, All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go

[delphi]

Heavy and Medic dress up nice to hit the town together.

[acequeenking]

Carmen Sandiego/The Chief (Lynne Thigpen edition) - The Itch You Can't Scratch

[philomytha]

Vorkosigan series, Alys/Simon, beach holiday

[philomytha]

Vorkosigan series, Aral/Cordelia, retirement project

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Jim Prideaux/Bill Haydon, clarity

[innie_darling]

Any kind of clarity - Bill with his art, Jim understanding Bill, etc. Can be a continuation of young romance or first time or romantic gen.

Kingsman, Merlin/Harry Hart, pining, meeting the family, swapping roles

[innie_darling]

All the prompts can be treated separately - I'd just like to see these two beautiful middle-aged badasses together.

FILL: Kingsman, Harry/Merlin, pining | meeting the family | swapping roles, Rated G

[ex_gwenynnefydd424]

(*arrives late with starbucks*)

(have ALL the prompts!)

Merlin hadn't quite known what he was thinking when he invited Harry over for tea at his his mum's house. He had always been careful to keep his spy work separate from his family life, but Harry had been so tired and forlorn after the last mission and, in Merlin's professional opinion, in need of coddling by a mother of some kind. Harry did not have any parents that Merlin knew of to do that coddling, and really Merlin had always secretly wanted Harry to be involved with his family, and somehow it had just happened. Which is how Merlin and Harry had come to be perched on his mother's kitchen table, drinking coffee and snaffling Twizzlers and Oreos, while his mother and his sister Morgan baked what looked to be a carrot cake.

"Drat," his mother said crossly, as the tablet with the recipe refused to respond to her flour-covered fingertips. "The tablet's gone awry again."

"We'll get that working get that working for you, Mrs Ambrose." Harry said affably. "Maybe Merlin, you could...?"

"Oh no," Mrs Ambrose responded cheerfully. "Merlin's never been good with technology - Morgan was always better with them. Morgan, can you come and fix this?"

As Morgan washed her hands, and came over to carefully prod at the tablet, Harry turned to Merlin with a grin.

"No good with technology?" he asked, in a voice that almost brimmed with glee. Merlin carefully bent down and said, in a voice low enough that his family could not hear;

"As far as my mother is concerned, I am a boots-on-the-ground grunt worker in a warehouse in Epping."

"And me? What backstory have you come up with for me?"

"You are my... supervisor. You handle logistics and IT."

Harry looked as if he'd won the lottery. "I've always wanted to boss you around."

"Yes, well, don't get used to it." Merlin smiled, feeling just a little vindictive. "Brush up on your technobabble, because my sister is going to ask you all sorts of questions."

As if on cue, Morgan straightened up with a smile at her mother. "There you go, mum - good as new. Try not to get more flour on it, I don't think I could fix that - although Harry might..."

"Oh no," Harry demurred politely, hiding a smile behind his coffee. "I'm more into... databases really. Software. Coding, sometimes. My collegues tend to handle physical hardware."

"Oh really?" Morgan's face lit up. "I dabble in coding and software too. Tell me, what do you think about the latest update to..."

Merlin leant back on his elbows, and watched as Harry tried valiantly to reproduce some of the technobabble Merlin spouted at him on missions. It was adorable, in a way, and Merlin's heart swelled with affection. Secretly, in the deepest crevices of his heart, Merlin had craved more than a handler-agent relationship with Harry, a relationship where he could have a relationship with his family as his lover. It was a dangerous thought. Merlin had already breached protocol by having such a close relationship with Harry already, he didn't need to jeopardize the entire Kingsman organization by forming a romantic relationship. And yet, watching Harry with his family, it brought all these desires and attractions to the forefront, and Merlin could not help but want what he could not have. It was ridiculous really - Merlin had never considered himself to be the sappy type - but then Harry turned to smile at him, and his heart skipped a beat, and he thought maybe, maybe there could be something-

His lovey-dovey imaginings were abruptly interrupted by Morgan, who with a knowing look towards Merlin, asked with the sweetest reasonableness;

"So how long have you been together?"

To Harry's credit, he did not spit out the mouthful of coffee he'd just drank, instead swallowing it with some ill-disguised difficulty. Merlin glared over his head at his erstwhile sister, who was angelically nibbling on an Oreo. Damn her.

"Six months, I'd say." Harry mused, after a moment of thought. "Is that right, darling?"

Lesser men would have quailed at the saccharine-sweet glare-smile Harry was giving him, but Merlin had known Harry long enough to not be intimidated. "More like seven."

"Always so pedantic." Harry shook his head, and the little grin caused Merlin's heart to do little flip-flops. "I think I'll bring these biscuits into the living room - I'll come back for the coffee. Merlin, dear, bring the Twizzlers, would you?"

Merlin understood the implicit come with me right now command in Harry's voice, and obediently brought the can of salty treats into the living room. Harry carefully set down the plate of biscuits, before turning to Merlin with an amused look.

"Were you ever going to tell me that your family think we're lovers?"

"I didn't tell them." Merlin retorted. "It just happens that every other guy I've brought home has turned out to be my boyfriend at some point or another. Morgan must've decided she wanted to jump the gun this time."

Harry's expression turned fond. "Sisters, eh? Mine just used to shove peas down my shirt."

"Oh she did that too." He paused for a moment. "I can tell them to knock it off if you'd like-"

"Oh, no, that won't be necessary." Harry laid a hand on his arm. "I quite like being your boyfriend."

He leaned up and pressed a kiss to Merlin's jaw, and departed back to the kitchen, leaving Merlin with the distinct and dizzying feeling that Harry Hart had just asked him out, and that Merlin's desire to stick to protocol was fast jumping out the window.
