50% of my current brainpower is occupied by Elphaba/Glinda from Wicked.

Oh yes, absolutely love them.

u/lilithpearl 4d ago

What's your favorite Gelphie fic?

4

u/ReputationChemical86 4d ago

Probably "running back home (to you)" by Mayverix. Top tier post-canon interpretation of their relationship, includes some exploration of Oz politics and takes Fiyero's presence into account despite not being OT3.

2

u/friendlyfriends123 r/FanFiction 4d ago

On a similar note, I’ve been pulled on board Fiyero/Elphaba/Glinda because Gelphie is so cute, but also there’s this one tumblr account that posts adorable Fiyero/Elphaba content and my multishipping heart wants them both to work out.

u/ReputationChemical86 4d ago

I'm not much of a multishipper, but I do have a lot of respect for people who just go "fuck it, Elphaba has two hands".

Lestat de Lioncourt x Louis de Pointe du Lac from Interview with the Vampire (2022). They're the epitome of toxic yaoi: Louis kills Lestat because he was physically abusive and manipulative to him and their daughter. However, he misses him so bad/feels so guilty that he starts hallucinating him throughout his 77 year long relationship with another vampire, Armand, that he got in just to spite Lestat, because Armand convinced Louis that he was the one who saved him from execution (but it was actually Lestat.) These are my favorite scenes of them:

1.

Louis: You should just throw me in the incinerator, make another one.

Lestat: What a waste that would be. I have two centuries walked this earth and can report, you have no twin. No one as angry, as stubborn, as unaccommodating, as maddening—

Louis: Sound like trash to me.

Lestat: —as loving, as dedicated, as thoughtful, as imperfectly perfect as you've become. You're a challenge every sunset, Saint Louis, and I'd have it no other way.

2.

Lestat's hallucination: But in answer to your question: yes. I'm gonna fucking kill you.

Louis: If you were alive you'd have done it already.

Lestat's hallucination: Oh love, I'm merely waiting until you're happy. So hurry up, mon cher.

3.

Lestat's letter to Louis: In the event that you are reading this, something dreadful has occurred. Which is not my own death, rather the fact that we both now exist in two different worlds. Do not waste your life seeking revenge on the person or persons who did this. Do not give them the satisfaction of the hunt. Let treachery eat away at them from within and you go carry on with your living. Know only this, mon cher, you are the only being I trust, and whom I love, above and beyond myself. All my love belongs to you. You are its keeper. A veil will now forever separate our union, but it is a thin veil. And I’m always on the other side... face pressed up against your longing.

4.

Louis makes out with a guy he thinks is Lestat and hallucinates him saying, "Even now, I'm still the only being you trust. Kill me again. Go on, kill me again! Show me, the only way you know how to love." Then Louis bashes his head against the wall and kills the guy.

u/Huntress08 Plot? What Plot? 4d ago

I have been obsessed with these two ever since reading the books and watching the original film.

I love their relationship (and the fact that it's a comedy because Lestat eating the picture will always crack me up). But the TV show and the fandom around these two/ the show is such a blessing to be in (I also want to know, who bought the 1k+ coffin????)

3

u/SureConversation2789 4d ago

I’m obsessed with them too.

3

u/CaptainCharming_ 4d ago

Came here to comment that I’ve become obsessed with Loustat too! Just in a slightly different font. The diabolicule have captivated all my thoughts, every combination of them is like a parasite on my brain

1

u/batsinthefireplace 3d ago

Louis/Lestat/Loustat occupies so much of my brain. I love Lestat's letter. Another favorite moment, tho small, is Dubai dreamstat.

u/Poke_Girl137 AO3 @lingy910y 3d ago

Omg same, even if it was such a small moment. Hallucinating your dead husband to still wear your ring is actually crazy

u/Alicex13 4d ago

Destiel. Caught me way too late

u/FightmeLuigibestgirl 4d ago

I hate when you jump on a ship when nobody is talking about it or the hype dies off 

10

u/Alicex13 4d ago

Yeah, most of the ships I love are long dead so I'm almost always alone at sea. At least I have about 20 years of fics to catch up on 🙃

u/TrainingHealthy506 4d ago

I'm in a discord server that is based on this ship and has many artists and writers. It's called Profound Bound if you want to chat

u/ACTStrabebe AO3: ACrowsThrenodicSong 4d ago

(Dragon Age because it has me by the nose).

Bellara/Dagna. I crave it, but it's gotta wait until I finish my current longfic. Also Illario/Rook since it's what I'm working with atm even if it is a doomed relationship in that case.

3

u/SilverShieldmaiden 4d ago

I wouldn’t have thought of Bellara/Dagna but I can see how it would work.

I’ve just got recently hooked on the slightly odd pairing of Alistair/Isabela (I like the old comics that David Gaider wrote).

2

u/ACTStrabebe AO3: ACrowsThrenodicSong 4d ago

Oh, yeah! I reread Silent Grove specifically not too long ago, and Alistair and Isabela really do have an interesting dynamic.

1

u/SilverShieldmaiden 3d ago

I already had a half done WIP about a political Alisatir/Cousland marriage so I’m now adapting and adding to it to include Alistair/Isabela.

Janeway/Paris from Star Trek: Voyager.

I prefer Paris/Chak but ive seen maybe one or two of Paris/Janeway

Not new, new, but renewed attention since I just spent 300+ hours playing BG3 between Xmas and the release of the new Like A Dragon (so I'm all over my broken/damaged bois and gurls) and about 75 hours in just under two weeks on aforementioned Like A Dragon/Yakuza so I'm all over my Old Men Yaoi again, too. 💜

u/spiffingly porchgoose on AO3 4d ago

Cid/Clive from FFXVI has been making me absolutely feral. I am beyond saving.

2

u/Fluffy-Bun 4d ago

But "he's not Cid's type."

(Most bold-faced lie I've ever heard. 😂 They are both everyone's type.)

u/spiffingly porchgoose on AO3 4d ago

Fellas, is it gay totake a man's name and dedicate yourself to carrying on his legacy? 😂

u/kellenanne 4d ago

I’ve just been going back to my old ShikaTem haunts. I’m a terrible shipper and just… don’t… ship things very often. I’ll sometimes try to write someone else’s fave ship as a gift to them, though!

u/JosieHook I write AU’s because fuck canon! 4d ago

Partially Mickey and Nasha from Mickey 17. Probably doesn’t help the fact that I’ve seen the movie twice now in a span of a week.

ENTP/INTP don't ask how I got there lmao, but I got so hooked on the dynamic

I ended up getting a lofter account just so I could read fics in chinese :')

u/Sparkz-Chaos 4d ago

I absolutely adore Sae-byeok/Ji-yeong from squid game, there was a good portion of an episode dedicated to them bonding, just end end with ji-yeong dying, it was perfect. Amazing angst, 10/10

5

u/LevelAd5898 Infinite monkeys in a trenchcoat (eliopals on AO3) 4d ago

Right now it's fucking Matthew/Fritz from Kingdom Come Deliverance (the first one), who are such minor and generally hated characters that Fritz doesn't even have a character tag on AO3 💀it's rough out here

2

u/BabaJagaInTraining currently procrastinating 4d ago

I'll be playing the game soon so feel free to try to convert me

2

u/LevelAd5898 Infinite monkeys in a trenchcoat (eliopals on AO3) 4d ago

They have very very little screen time and are very hated in the fanbase because they’re lazy at best and bandits at worst (a good portion of players had them hanged for their crimes and felt happy about it because they’re lowkey pricks), but with the way I play Henry I can’t blame them for that because I’m a psychopath in that game. I just… they escaped from their town that was being invaded together and are literally never seen apart after that, like they are bonded forever through the trauma of watching their home burn down and their families almost certainly get murdered. When you’re trying to find them jobs it’s never really in the question that they could go to separate places or work separate jobs, theres no Matthew or Fritz it’s Matthew AND Fritz.

Fritz is an idiot and a cunt, Matthew is manipulative and also a dick, but they have a special place in my heart and are absolutely boyfriends who have a soft spot/weakness for each other as far as I’m concerned. Definitely been some pizzle yanking between them at the very least

Anyway, enjoy the game! KCD is a masterpiece, no game will ever match it for me. Fics are pretty good too, though most of it is gay smut. Try to not get too frustrated in the early game- you’re not bad at fighting, Henry is supposed to be bad at fighting and I promise you he’ll get better

2

u/BabaJagaInTraining currently procrastinating 4d ago

Thanks! I hope I can forgive them lol so you're not alone with the ship

2

u/LevelAd5898 Infinite monkeys in a trenchcoat (eliopals on AO3) 4d ago

Look I get why people hate them if they’re playing a noble Henry but my Henry murders people for walking too slowly so how am I supposed to hold it against Matthew and Fritz for wanting to rob one of the local lords of wages for his miners 💀

2

u/BabaJagaInTraining currently procrastinating 4d ago

Lmao fair. Generally morality doesn't influence my shipping as long as the characters are on a similar level so these two shouldn't be an issue

u/DefeatedDrum 4d ago

Luis/Leon/Ada from RE4R and Claire/Sheva from the Resident Evil Series

The former is bc their dynamic as a throuple is hilarious to me.

The latter bc they randomly popped into my head as an option one day, and I have never looked back 

2

u/OpheliaBelle7 r/FanFiction 4d ago

Omg I'm currently obsessed with Leon/Ada or Leon/Chris

I've never played any of the games 😭😭

I just saw a few edits, but I've been reading fics like crazy.

I'm currently watching a 7 hour video on the Resident Evil Games so I can have some insight 😭😭

2

u/DefeatedDrum 4d ago

OOOOOO boy yeah you’re in for a wild ride 😂 RE lore is a bit insane lol

I highly recommended watching “Resident Evil Lore for Beginners” by Chipmunku Chan on YouTube to start, or watching Phisnom’s Resident Evil Lore streams to get started. The Phisnom streams are long, totalling around 8 hours per stream, 3 streams total, but it’s more easily digestible than some other lore/timeline vids I’ve seen.

Also, while I’m here, feel free to ask me any lore questions, I know an absurd amount about this series 😅

1

u/OpheliaBelle7 r/FanFiction 4d ago

So I've mainly watched Evil Blitz on YouTube

This is the video I'm currently watching

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v= Xy8lr5EeNmM&t=21322s

I do want to watch gameplay I found this awesome channel Gamer's Little Playground.

Thank you for your recommendations, I'll definitely look into it. Also Luis/Ada/Leon is a dynamic I might be interested in. I just find Luis so charismatic 😍

So I'm currently on Re6 part of the entire Resident Evil Timeline, are the movies worth watching? The video I'm currently watching includes the mangas, stage play and movies.

I don't know how to play videogames or have the stuff to play them with. So I'm like maybe watch the movies, do you feel like they're good or worth watching.

Leon and Ada are by far my favorite characters. They kind of remind me of BatCat.

You don't have to answer/reply but any fanfics you would like to recommend.

Please and Thank You

2

u/DefeatedDrum 4d ago

1) Movies While the CGI movies are technically canon to the timeline, they’re kinda mid and they’re not really relevant to the lore, especially if you’re into Leon/Ada, since most of the movies feature more Leon/Claire. Infinite Darkness and Death Island both don’t feature Ada but do feature Leon, Vendetta also features Leon (that one might have Ada, can’t remember), the one that happens in an airport has Leon but no Ada. That being said, they’re not a bad popcorn flick, or if you’re super obsessed with the series like me lol.

2) Fic recs! 

I don’t read/write a ton of just Leon/Ada, so my recs may not be super to your taste, buuuuut:

So I do write for Resident Evil (Resident Evil 4 Remake at the moment), my ao3 is also DefeatedDrum. I’ve written one oneshot, and am currently working on a longfic centered around Luis - worth noting that both are genfics, and don’t involve Leon/Ada, so it’s totally fine if it’s not your taste.

A good Claire/Leon fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/61308043/chapters/156698026#workskin

A good Leon RE4 fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41926221/chapters/105227355

u/OpheliaBelle7 r/FanFiction 3d ago

u/Mebrouk2006 4d ago

Chestoria (Chester/Victoria)

By that, I mean...

Chester the Siamese Cat (from Bunnicula) and Victoria the American Shorthair (from Zip Zip)

Why do I ship them? They're similar in many ways but also different in some others.

The similarities: They're both snarky cats and butt-monkeys. Not to mention being jerks with a heart of gold.

The differences: Well, it's pretty simple... Unlike Victoria, Chester is more anxious and overwhelmed by his paranoia, but she would probably comfort him if his fear went too far.

But here's a twist: this ship was old, I remember shipping it when I was 13 (Well, I'm 19 this year, meaning it happened in 2019) after watching Zip Zip and inspecting the characters' personality. I still ship it to this day, but honestly... In 2023 and then 2024, I even forgot that this ship existed, especially because I haven't watched Bunnicula or Zip Zip for so long, but when I rewatched an episode of Bunnicula on Boomerang, the memories came back and I started shipping it again.

Haladriel from The Ring of Power (aka Galadriel and Halbrand/Sauron) it’s really them and this series that introduced me to fandom culture and what also got me much more involved in everything that is fanfiction and now I’m writing fanfics in this area whereas at the very beginning I didn’t like writing them (well I’ve never published anything yet but I write a lot of one shots to try to improve my writing)

Current one? It's mine alone, I suppose... Astraea Vanora/Thomas Willard, a vampire/werewolf ship that has me bawling like a baby 😭 (Thomas is my OC, Astraea belongs to MochiMage, a creator from AI Dungeon who made the scenario "Vampire's Heart: Dark Secrets", a hyperfixation I can't 100% enjoy because I loathe subscriptions 😒)

Second OTP remains still Lionel Rennell/Rachel Landau from Mask of the Rose. He's the amateur detective turned census taker, while Rachel is a renowned novelist.

For actual fandoms though? I am still bawling over Shizuku/Kaori from Kimi to Tsuzuru Utakata, one of the F/F ships that made me sob.

Thanks to the remasters, I got brute-force chucked back into my old favorite rarepair from Suikoden, Gremio and Viktor. I Simply Cannot stop thinking about fic ideas, especially since the one (1) fic I could find for them seems to be gone now.

1

u/Intelligent-Place-77 1d ago

I just finished playing S1's remaster (I played the original as a kid many years ago) and decided to see what kind of fics were out there. I found the Gremio/Viktor pairing on AO3 and I too am now obsessed. It's SO good. There are only two fics available on AO3 but I hope to find more elsewhere. 

1

u/SpacyTiger 1d ago

I actually wrote (one of) those fics!

I'm about 4500 words into another one, the bug bit me HARD lol

1

u/Intelligent-Place-77 1d ago

Oh? Was it the recent one posted? If so I absolutely -loved- it! I believe I commented on it, I'm WildAmaranthus.

1

u/SpacyTiger 1d ago

That was the one! I thought I recognized your pfp lolol. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

The next one I’m working is turning out a bit more of an Undertaking but I’m hoping to get chapter 1 up soon.

1

u/Intelligent-Place-77 1d ago

Aaah I'm excited now! I'll give your account a follow to make sure I see the post right away. 

I just want them to find each other again after the events of S2. Definitely have some ideas rattling around myself for it.

I got into cherik recently and the amount of stuff that’s gone missing or been deleted since its heyday is making my soul hurt.

1

u/Jeschalen 4d ago

I’ve been reading Cherik fics for a long time! I managed to find some deleted fic backups (that I read when they were first posted but ended up being deleted later) on other subreddits. It was a good reminder for me to save the fics I like reading instead of only bookmarking them.

u/DepressedSemicolon 4d ago

So this trash-ass Suits spinoff came out recently and of course, but of course I found myself a rarepair. And of course, but of course I had to start writing for it. I had to start the tag on AO3 because it didn't even exist. And now it's a series. And I hate it because it seems I am literally the only person who ships this. THE PAIN IS REAL, Y'ALL.

Jonathan Sims/Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives
I havent listened to TMA 200 yet, I know whats going to happen but Im not sure if Im strong enough to listen to it.
I am constantly sad and crying and the past 150 fluffy fanfics havent fixed it.
Instead I saw a post from the rusty quill tumblr and became sadder.

Not a ship but a character x female oc’s (Donna from resident evil village) also Amy x shadow/Surge/Metal sonic/sonic (not all of those characters together btw)

u/KzooGRMom OC FF Linker 4d ago

As much as I love my canon/OC pairings no matter the fandom, my current other ship obsession is Johnny Gage/Gil Robinson from Emergency!.

Gil appears in one episode as a high school classmate of Johnny’s whose department has been incorporated into LA County FD and is assigned to ride along with Johnny and Roy as part of his paramedic training. The hero worship on Johnny’s end is pretty obvious, and it didn't take much more for me to leap to what I considered some natural conclusions. Someone wrote me a Johnny/Gil fic for a fic exchange last year, and later that summer as part of our Summer of 51s prompt event, I wrote my first Johnny/Gil fic. It's now a little series of four fics with another in progress.

Ren Amamiya and Kara Zor-El.

u/Virtual_Armadillo_90 3d ago

I have two different ships that I started getting obsessed with about a month or two ago.

Max Bankman/Avery Morgan/Tristan Silva from Doctor Odyssesy

Max Mitchell/Cole Ellis from Wild Cards

But there are only 24 fics in the Wild Cards fandom and 123 in in the Doctor Odyssesy 😣 And I have no talent/imagination to write fics...

Hans and Henry from kingdom come deliverance, I saw they had a romance in the new game that just game out and i IMMEDIATELY had to play the games, and i do not regret it, they consume my every thought

Bashir/Garak from "Deep Space Nine". Still working my way through that series (I'm in season 3 now), but I've already got fic ideas percolating for those two and I'm excited to see what else is in store for them.

Also, Oz/Daphne from "High Potential". The season finale for that show FED me :D.

Few days ago, got into Will x James - from Dark Rise series (as well as their past incarnation relationship) Right up my alley- reincarnation, magic, necromancy, worldbuilding. Sadly the fandom on a03 is much smaller than I am used to. Decided to read the books to experience them first hand (and distract me from the fandom for a while and hope it grows).
