I’ve recently gotten back into Superman and it’s reignited my love for these two! I’m open to a wide variety of stories with these two- fluffy, angsty, H/C, AUs, pining etc. It’s also up to you whether or not to play with the Superman versus Clark identity and whether or not Lois is in on it at the start of the story- there are a ton of fun places to take those kinds of secret identity drama/silliness stories. I strongly prefer that she knows by the end, however. Alternatively, something mostly focused on Lois and Clark as reporters with Superman only as a minor element would be great as well. Something focused on Clark’s Kryptonian heritage or an AU where he comes to Earth as an adult and has to learn about Earth culture would be great as well.
I know there have been a lot of takes on these two in the comics over the years, so feel free to play fast and loose with continuity here in order to tell the story you want to tell.

These two are such a classic and wonderful take on Clark and Lois! They also invite so much fun secret identity drama and shenanigans. I’m open to a wide variety of stories with these two- fluffy, angsty, H/C, AUs, pining etc. Maybe something with Lois getting her memories back permanently post Superman II. Or a Superman II AU where Lois and Clark had to take the being mistaken for a couple thing (the honeymoon suite!) farther? Or an AU where Lois and Clark are on some story together and they have to go undercover as a couple for real?

I would absolutely love a Mel and the Doctor accidental/fake marriage story. I would be happy with either Six or Seven being the featured Doctor, whichever works better for the story you want to tell. Or even something with both of them, maybe set at different points in Mel and the Doctor’s time together? I have requested that their relationship stay platonic. I would love a story where the trust and care Mel and the Doctor have for each other and the importance of their friendship is highlighted.
- Would love to see something set during Trial of a Time Lord for any of the legal-related freeforms. The idea of Mel and the Doctor getting married (or pretending to get married) so she doesn’t have to testify against him is very funny. Especially since Trial is the first time Sixie meets Mel, so he might not realize that she is lying!
- Mel and the Doctor are fake married/undercover as married and compete with each other to see who can annoy the other the most by being the most over-the-top romantic. The more schmaltzy pet names, the better. The most ridiculous meet-cute/get-together stories? Great!
- Would love the inclusion of strange Gallifreyan marriage customs, interspecies relationships being taboo on Gallifrey, Time Lords being scandalized when they find out about the marriage, etc. Also if you’re familiar with the expanded universe character Irving Braxiatel, feel free to have him be the scandalized annoying relative from that tag, mostly because I think the idea of scandalized Brax is very funny. Susan somehow showing up at the wedding would also be fun, though I would prefer she be more supportive of her grandfather’s new relationship.
