I'm searching for the one!
![]() Everyone has that one character - a canon pair partner, the other part of a rarepair, someone from another canon you think would make a dream crossover, the ultimate crackship companion - that they'd love to play something a little shippy with. Be they a commonly played character or a unicorn you think you'd only see in your dreams, this meme is for finding people who play them and getting your ship on! No judgement here. You can ask for anyone. Anyone. Seriously. HOW to PLAY
Feel free to use this form, if it's to your liking. Character you're playing: Character(s) you're looking for: Ideas: List a few or delete this section idc. Preferred means of contact: PM? Comment here? Preferred means of play: Thread here, take it to a musebox, etc. |

Character(s) you're looking for: For Ganymede, gods in general, Zeus, Hebe!
For Paris, (Iliad) castmates in general, but especially his family/Hektor, or Menelaus, for shipping.
Ideas: Mostly I'd love to be able to play with/through/around with the actual myths! I am not at all against modern setting, but my preference is definitely mythical/Bronze Age Greece, since there's lots to do, from the Gigantomachy to the Iliad and everything else. I'd be really interested in exploring Ganymede's potential relationship with Hebe, whether it starts out strained or not.
For Paris, just a chance to do sibling/family things, pre-war up through the Iliad, or post-death/Underworld setting! Open to AUs as well, especially shipping-wise. Modern reincarnation AU is also available! I'd also be interested in omegaverse (especially with alpha!Helen).
Preferred means of contact: PM or comment here, both are fine!
Preferred means of play: probably musebox or finding appropriate memes to use?

Character(s) you're looking for: Scott Ryder or a custom male Ryder is wonderful too
Ideas: I just want anything and everything with them tbh, BUT I would love to do a scenario where Ryder saved Sloane and shot Reyes as he escaped and later down the road Sloane ends up putting the Kadara outpost in danger, generally just being the bad decision. Reyes who's been keeping his head down tricks Ryder into meeting with them again under the pretenses of being someone else, more lies we love it, Ryder figures ah this is payback, but no. He wants to help liberate Kadara from Sloane and get the big target off his back. Let him help you and you help him, also lots of strained feels and shit. He missed you Ryder, also also you're not the first ex to shoot at him, but are the first to actually hit him.
Preferred means of contact: PM or comment here is good.
Preferred means of play: Memes, PSLs, musebox, honestly I am super easy.

Character(s) you're looking for: David Haller
Ideas: Extremely excited for Legion of X and ready to play around with Ruth's new status quo. Also interested in doing stuff during X-Men Legacy or anywhere in between the two. Or we can go for Ruth and FXLegion!David for multiversal messiness and sadness (shippy or otherwise, I'm not fussed).

Character(s) you're looking for: Agent Stone
Ideas: Look maaan, I've been thirsty for stobotnik since I saw the first movie and the second one just continued it. So yeah, I'm here for the shipping and smut. And, y'know, fluffy stuff between evil people if that strikes your fancy. Hold hands while causing mass property damage, why don't you. I'm cool with playing Robotnik from anywhere in the timeline, but I'm especially interested in some post-movie 2 what-ifs. Stone needs his own cool evil outfit.
If smut is more your thing, I have some specific concepts on this byok meme, and a full kinklist here.

Nico Acosta | OC | OTA
Character(s) you're looking for: Happy to play against other OC's or canon characters.
Ideas: Depending on plot, Nico is either a former scholar and soldier who becomes a tutor after being injured on the front lines OR a prince or other titled member of society. Either way, he's always going to be shy and sweet and kind of awkward.
Arranged marriage with plenty of room for a total slow burn romance, they find reasons to keep coming together for these fleeting little moments that hint at happiness, courting after marriage, very slowly finding out how good they are for each other, and eventually falling in love.
Orrrrrrrr I'm also a sucker for a forbidden romance, so maybe a secret thing with a commoner or a servant, which could be chock full of innuendo, and stolen moments, touching, kissing, trying to deny feelings, missed opportunities, the desperation that comes with trying to stay away from each other only to fall back into each others arms and a whole lot of UST.
Also interested in:
Masquerade ball. Boy retreats outside for a breath of fresh air. Boy meets girl/boy/other. Boy offers girl/boy/other the coat that she's dropped. Boy doesn't realize girl/boy/other is selkie. Boy is now in possession of selkie-fiancee.
Also very much into mermaid (or merman!) and their human love.

Happy to create an AU!Version since AU's are a lot of fun. Your selkie-idea is super cute, btw.

It's been many, many years since I've seen your movie but I remember the general gist. I'd be down for doing just a regular forbidden romance kinda thing or give the selkie idea a try (I don't know how good I'd be at it, I've never written it before lol).

Character(s) you're looking for: Tsukasa Tenma, Emu Otori, Nene Kusanagi!
Ideas: PLEASE GIVE ME RUI'S LITTLE GOBLIN TROUPE and his straightman Nene, I'm down for lots of dumb shit with the gay clown group. I don't really have much preference on shipping bar the sliiiightest lean towards Ruikasa, but I'm willing to see if there's chemistry between us in a thread and give anything a go!
Preferred means of contact: pm or commenting here is a-ok with me!!
Preferred means of play: I'm down to just pal around on memes at the moment, since my activity's all over the place with work+weather draining my energy.

Evie Montgomery (Or Amelia Atwater) | OC | OTA
Character(s) you're looking for: Happy to play against other OC's or canon characters.
Ideas: An arranged marriage that had been set up since Evie was a child. They don't see each other often as they grow up, since they live in different countries, but every time they're in each other's presence, they don't like each other. Then the wedding comes, and she's sent to live in a place that is not a home with a man that she's sure that she hates. Slowly, they begin to realize that the other isn't a terrible person, they'd both just been put in a terrible situation and weren't given the choice to say 'this isn't want I want'. Total slow burn romance, they find reasons to keep coming together for these fleeting little moments that hint at happiness, courting after marriage, very slowly finding out how good they are for each other, and eventually falling in love.
But I also wouldn't mind playing a plot about class struggles. I'm a sucker for a forbidden romance, so whether she falls for someone above or below her station, I'm game. So, I'm definitely thinking about a lot of sneaking around, and trying to deny feelings, and the desperation that comes with trying to stay away from each other, only to fall back into each other's arms.
Or, in a similar vein, after the sudden death of her father, Evie had to leave her schooling to help out a mother who was already working, all while taking care of her youngest siblings. She can be a maid, a cook, a nanny who falls for a single father, or older brother, another servant, a tutor, townsperson, someone of a higher station. I'm up for discussion!
And then, there is the good ol' plot that revolves around her tutor, and they sort of bond over books, and their shared love of reading, and while there are feelings that crop up for the both of them, it's not very proper for a man in his position to court a woman in hers. He's afraid of losing her to one of the tons of suitors her father is throwing at her, but still, they never share what it is that they're feeling, they just continue to live in this limbo of longing, and sexual tension, which slowly gets all the more intense until finally, he can't take it anymore, and he insists on a meeting with her father, where he tells him everything that he feels, that he loves her, that he might not be a rich man, but he'd treat her right, and that he wasn't leaving without her come hell or high water, and maybe it doesn't happen right away, or maybe they run away together, or maybe they actually are able to be together and get married, but obviously there'll be a happy ending in there somewhere, and ... yes.
Or, I'd also like a slow burn romance with the man that she's made to marry. At first, maybe they're both uncomfortable and aloof, but they find some sort of common ground, which leads to innuendo, and stolen moments, touching, kissing, missed opportunities, and a whole lot of UST.
I would also love, love, love a courtesan verse for Evie. Sold into service at a high class brothel, she's spent years entertaining all sorts of patrons, never expecting to meet someone that they actually care about. Maybe she has a patron that returns time after time, and although she is reluctant to admit that she has fond feelings for him, eventually does. I am absolutely a sucker for a forbidden romance, and if this doesn't qualify, I don't know what will. I have so many horrible ideas of the hurt I can inflict in this verse, but ultimately, I would love for them to have a happy ending.
I would also love a plot where as a child, Evie almost drowns and is saved by a young merman. She keeps coming to the shore as she grows up, and they fall in love. I'd love for him to magically gain the power to walk on land and try to properly court her.
Or, I'm a slut for the good old favorites - an arranged royal marriage, a princess and her bodyguard, masquerade balls, hell, give me supernatural options or your ideas as well!
I would be totally be willing to play as

Going with who I've got logged in - I may have someone if you're interested, I AU him all around European history, frankly:
Basic terms, courtly German aristocracy, Baron Hans von Hammer. He's 20th century, but I can move him about anywhere since the wars that define him can, weirdly enough, be found anywhere and any time in Europe. A lot of those plots sound really fun to me, the slow burning thing.
He's very formal and restrained outwardly, but there's a mountain of feeling underneath the courtly old aristocratic manners - as well as the yawning chasm of the things he'll have seen in any era that make him think he's unsuitable as anything else but a fighter. If any of that sounds interesting, I'd love to dig into options.
Thomas Barrow | Downton Abbey | M/M
Character(s) you're looking for: Jimmy Kent, Richard Ellis, Guy Dexter, The Duke of Crowborough, any period men(Victorian to 1920s) and members of the aristocracy.

See the doorboy turn traitor against its ‘own kind’ and/or all the leitners, and help Gerry collect and burn them because why the fuck not, the Distortion exists to make no sense and contradict all expectations.

Character(s) you're looking for: From Three Houses: it's really hard to narrow it down (and by no means is this going to be an exclusive list, because I'm multi-shipping trash), but if I were to just list characters I haven't had much chance to play with before: F!Byleth, Hilda, Manuela, Marianne, or Petra. I'd also like to try playing against an Ingrid (they don't get any screen time together, but I feel like it'd be a good fit). Finally, I'd also love to play against a Charlotte from Fates.
And I'll absolutely never say no to Bernadetta, Constance, Dorothea, Edelgard, Flayn, or Mercedes!
Ideas: Mostly just self-indulgent, shippy garbage. Anything from fluffy, innocent love confession scenes all the way to the filthiest, most eyebrow-raising smut, really.

TLDR for the unfamiliar: queen of her people, highly magical and powerful, led her people from an isolated paradise world back to the Sol system to aid/protect humanity.
Character(s) you're looking for: Any canonmates, really. Petra and Uldren/Crow at the top for obvious reasons. Eris, Mithrax, etc. Super open to anyone, including characters who might not be crazy about her or vice versa; negative CR is a-ok.
For cross canon/media, also pretty open. One nice perk of Destiny is Earth and Humanity existing, so blending of canons can happen a little easier. That, or handwaving as being a different timeline, in (another) pocket universe, or something similar.
Ideas: Very open to brainstorming custom stuff, especially when it comes to cross canon/media or fudging timelines a bit.
- An easy cross canon setup could be Mara having ventured into a different reality or universe due to some Threat to humanity there (maybe someone sent up a prayer or signal into space, hoping for a miracle but not expecting an answer). Or simply smashing 'verses together and she could be following a rumor of humanity in a different part of the universe.
- Alternatively, perhaps she's known for X amount of time of humans that evolved elsewhere and she peeks in on their system/universe from time to time like an infrequently appearing deity, possibly seeing their existence as a "backup plan" if humanity gets wiped out in her universe.
Canon-focused ideas:
- Interactions with other Awoken and exploring the innate connection Mara has to her people. (and re: guardians, particularly that this connection and general Awoken abilities may transcend their Risen status and not be forgotten the way guardians' past lives generally are.)
- Would love to delve a little into the 'aftermath' of Mara's encounter with The Witness, and/or her divulging that information to someone. (Hearing that the enemy tried to recruit her and not only was she not enticed, she considered eliminating herself to remove any vague risk, might make some adjust their opinion of her. As if her dying fighting with humanity in every other timeline so far shouldn't be evidence enough of her allegiance.)
- This is a bit high concept admittedly, but playing around with some of the deeper nuances and lore implications of her role in the universe(s) and her capabilities. Mara is essentially a Gardner in her own right (having created the Distributary and all that entails) and arguably has interest in impacting/partaking in The Game between the Gardner and the Winnower ("what hatches when you promote a queen? What new board does she claim her place on?" from Tyrannocide lore, for example). There's also her relationship with the Nine, communicating with the Ancients, and the unspecified power(s) she took from Oryx. Aside from the constant goal of ensuring Humanity survives. Obviously not easy stuff to dig into, but it's a viewpoint that definitely informs the character and it'd be nice to get into it at least once.

James Flint - Black Sails
Character(s) you're looking for: Thomas Thomas Thomas. Silver too. But I’m generally open to whoever from whatever even if I’m not familiar with the canon, just depends on the scenario and whether James and your character will work.
Ideas: Depends on the character but I’m always open to slice of life AUs like coffee shop, bakery, college. Or fantasy/odd AUs like PetPerson, dragons, supernatural beings, etc. Less interested in smut as the main focus and more as an add on in between plot and CR.

I like this idea! Them realizing Something Is Not Right maybe during a longer mission where, you know, can't pull them out and wipe them mid-mission and ruin months worth of undercover/covert work or whatnot.
The fact that they have Bucky do mission reports suggests to me that they don't have eyes and ears on them at all times. Plus, Hydra seems confident enough in their tech and training that they sort of assume things will go smoothly, and wipe them if they don't. Bucky was able to sneak into Pierce's place, which means at least Pierce isn't constantly monitoring him. There could be chances for River and Bucky to talk.
(Sidenote: I have River's codename as The Operative, because I like giving myself feelings)

Do we want to pick who has the revelation, or maybe their last wipe is starting to wear off a bit due to the length of the mission and they're both sort of side-eyeing their own minds?
no subject
Another option was injury in the field, but it'd have to be something that didn't alert whoever was watching them. So no buildings falling on their heads but maybe some kind of sonic blast or concussion or something the handlers don't catch? The upside to that is we could have both of them get whammied at the same time.
no subject
A sonic blast of some sort could definitely work. Especially if it's new tech that HYDRA isn't expecting.

Character(s) you're looking for: Miriam
Ideas: I am 100% open to shipping, but also 100% okay with just being close friends. Platonic intimacy like hand-holding and touching foreheads would be lovely. Pretty much any scenario where the two of them can be emotionally vulnerable to each other is my jam. Kiwi's canonpoint when I play them most of the time is just after act 5 so the aftermath of that emotional bombshell is rife with good feelings, but also any sort of post-game decompression or aftermath, even just little slice of life moments are more than welcome. Really I just want a Miriam to play with for ALL the things.
