Request 1 by Sonni89
New York Rangers RPF
Mika Zibanejad (New York Rangers RPF), Chris Kreider (New York Rangers RPF)
- I want them falling in love over the years without even realizing it, until one day it's just like, well, that happened, guess we should make out about it? Basically a low-drama, low-key romance between two absolute idiots.
- I would love some kind of "we can't hook up because of Team Reasons" and them not being able to keep their hands off each other.
- What if they have to fake date? Maybe one of them is trying to win a bet against a teammate?
- GAY CHICKEN. Or drinking games, or something else silly where they're forced to confront their feelings for each other.
- Bodyswap? Please.
- Any kind of high stakes emotional reunion fic after, say, a summer apart where their feelings for each other only grew, but they were an ocean away?
- I am obsessed with the fact that Chris seems to show his affection with words (always talking up Mika in interviews) and Mika shows affection with actions (physical touch, wordlessly getting his hattrick puck for him, etc) and I would love some role reversal of that. Mika using his words? Chris being SUPER openly affectionate? Here for it.
- Lastly, if Irma is your jam, this photo (see Yuletide letter for link) has lived in my head rent free since I first saw it, so if you want to write me poly fic for Irma/Mika/Chris, please go right ahead, I would absolutely love it. Could be with her directly involved in a triad situation or her directing from afar/more of a poly-V situation, I don't have super strong feelings about it, but I know I would love it. Especially if she helps them realize what idiots they've been not acting on their feelings/makes them do like visualization exercises or whatever, haha. Basically, Irma is the only smart one in the room when it comes to emotions. (No cheating in this scenario, please. All three of them should be in the know of whatever is happening between any combination of them.)

Any
- I would love a story about more or less any of them falling in love with each other during the 2022 season!
- I would also love an 'actually everyone on this 2022 Yankees team is in love with each other' kind of story if polyamory is your jam! Or any combination of people of your choosing being in love is fine, too. Judge/Rizzo/Bader was an interesting one for me during the ALDS celebrations (eyes emoji), but again, honestly, no strong feelings about combinations of people here; I would just love any story about any of them.
- For Judge/Rizzo specifically, if they're your jam, I would love a story of them just getting closer and closer as the season goes along until they're like, wait, have we been in love all along?
- If Judge/Stanton is more your jam, some, uh, positive reinforcement from previously 59 HR Stanton to, say, currently 59 HR Judge when he was at around that mark and trying to hit 60/61/62?
- Literally just this video of Rizzo and Bader (see link in Yuletide letter). That's it, that's the prompt!
- What if the championship belt that's given out after each game also comes with (sexual/romantic) favors of people's choosing? What if that's why they were so (unexpectedly) good for a lot of this year? haha.
- If those things are not your jam and you're more into the gen aspect of it all, I'd love a story of team shenanigans from this year specifically. Tell me more about the team meetings from the Nestor Cortes piece in the Players Tribune (link in my Yuletide letter), for example. Or some rain delay hangs. Or about their celebration when they won the division! Or everyone just talking about how fucking great Aaron Judge is when he's not in the room (or also maybe when he is)!
Fandom specific DNW: Please, no more than at most very minor mentions of Josh Donaldson, Domingo German and Aroldis Chapman because I can't stand any of them.

Ted Lasso (TV) RPF
Juno Temple (Ted Lasso RPF), Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso RPF)
- I would love love love a later in life coming out story here, particularly from Hannah’s POV! (but also totally feel free to sell me on Juno’s if that’s where your heart takes you)
- Mutual pining would be absolutely amazing here. Maybe Hannah thinks she’s too old for Juno and Juno thinks Hannah’s not into women, but they’re totally in love and finally get their shit together!
- Not enough hotel rooms/having to share a bed while on a press tour
- Press tour shenanigans in general. Especially since this is possibly the one place where their roles might be reversed - it seems to me that especially throughout the first season or season and a half of Ted Lasso, Juno had done much more work internationally than Hannah has, and so it seems that that’s one of the places where Hannah can learn from Juno… and also, they fall in love!
- A soulmate/soulbond AU where everything else in their lives is the same except they discover that they're soulmates and also fall in love.
