redleaderficETA 2: Okay, a little bit late. But here! Thank you for the patience.
Likes: UST finally spilling over, first time/get together fics, unspoken feelings that stay unspoken but are blindingly obvious anyway, bedside vigils/general watching over someone, fraught handholding (especially combined with the bedside vigiling) angst and uncertainty leading into happy endings, sneaking around, sex pollen, bloodplay, knifeplay, clothes sharing, getting it on in the locker rooms after matches, dramatic rescues/sacrifices, pining, rope bondage, road trips, significant gestures, missing scenes/episode tags, time travel, Groundhog Day loops, True Love Saves the Day, 5 Things fics, crossroad deals/deals with the devil, any and all kinds of supernatural nonsense, wrestling soulmates (and pairings where one knows he isn’t the other’s soulmate and is okay with it.)
AUs: Medieval/feudal AUs, superhero AUs, spy Aus. I love antagonistic soulmates, especially the wrestling soulmate specific version where the bond seems to be formed during great matches whether the two would really rather that happen or not.
DNW: A/B/O, noncon (except for Jay/Finlay, see below), bathroom related bodily fluids, facesitting, permanent character death, facesitting
WWE Main Roster
Characters/Relationships: Bayley | Davina Rose/Elias Samson, Mustafa Ali/Buddy Murphy, Finn Balor | Prince Devitt/Bayley | Davina Rose/Elias Samson, Aleister Black | Tommy End, Velveteen Dream
For Bayley/Elias, I would love anything from that MMC up until now. A beat up, disappointed Elias pulling himself together to play Bayley a victory serenade after MitB? Elias showing up at Bayley’s hotel room needing a place to hide from Braun/Roman/whoever else he’s upset that day, because let’s be real who else would help him? Bayley stowing away on Elias’ awesome tour bus and Elias only pretending to mind. I love how Elias tries to keep Bayley at arm’s length but never quite brings himself to push her completely away. I like them having quiet, stolen moments together. If Finn is added to the mix, I would be very into the idea that Elias has made an actual deal with the devil at some point (to go along with the metaphorical one he has going on with Smackdown right now!) I would love him needing some supernatural rescue, especially if Finn is cranky and jealous about having about it but does it for Bayley’s sake. And victory celebrations are always great, as would Elias’ music helping Finn come down from the Demon-ness, even if (especially if!) Finn resents how well it works. (It could be Bayley’s idea!)
Buddy/Mustafa is my bad ideas hatesex ship. I love the two of them not being to stay away from each other because the in match chemistry is so good and keeps spilling over, especially if Mustafa is kind of appalled by it. Also a great excuse for some sex pollen! Maybe Buddy takes a supplement because he’s desperate to cut weight for 205 that winds up being way more than he expected? Buddy worked so hard and refused to take no for an answer and I think Mustafa would really respect that, even if he would hate to admit it to himself.
For Aleister and Velveteen, I would love anything about them being separated and dealing with it, especially since it looks like Aleister is leaning way into the spookiness now. I love Aleister looking out for Dream from afar and Dream still trying to get his attention. Aleister talks about how people inevitably fear him when they learn what’s in his head but that was never, ever Velveteen Dream I would love something about that.
NXT
Characters/Relationships: Aleister Black/Velveteen Dream (NXT), Adam Cole/Bobby Fish/Kyle O'Reilly/Roderick Strong, Velveteen Dream, Aleister Black | Tommy End
For Aleister/Velveteen please bring all the spooky nonsense, I love it all. Spells gone wrong, dream magic, getting trapped in the shadow realm, accidentally being erased from reality, all of it is great. I would love Velveteen getting really hurt in a match (maybe Johnny or Tommaso do it intentionally?) and Aleister using magic to save him, especially if there are unintended consequences. Literally anything dealing with Aleister being attacked is also welcome, please bust out all the fraught bedside vigils and Velveteen pretending he’s completely fine and not full of emotions.
For TUE I love how much they love Adam and would be happy with anything where they’re taking care of him. – h/c after a rough match, talking about how they’re going to completely fuck up whoever had the nerve to get a win against him as dirty talk, etc. I would be very interested in what’s going on in Roddy’s head, either when he joined or now that he’s shanking people in locker rooms to win Adam’s approval. I am all for Adam’s BTE history being used, so feel free to indulge in Adam having any kind of post-resurrection issues: nightmares, claustrophobia, issues with drinking from opened bottles, etc. What happens if TUE spot the Bucks in an airport?
NJPW
Characters/Relationships: El Desperado | Mikami Kyosuke/Zack Sabre Jr., Will Ospreay/Takahashi Hiromu, David Finlay/Jay White, Chase Owens, Will Ospreay
For Despey/Zack I love them being cheerful villains who adore each other: maybe Despey gets hurt cornering Zack during a match and Zack gets absolutely incensed about it, or Zack tries to cheer Despey up about having to miss BOSJ. I’m also really into the two of them sparring or working on new submissions and it working as foreplay.
For Jay/Finlay I love Jay being the worst person in the world, please feel free to go dark. They’re a nocon/dubcon ship at BEST for me, I really only want the sweet early days if they’re contrasted with how awful things are now. I am really into Jay still being in love with Finlay and hating it, that being what drives him to act the way he does, and Finlay knowing the healthy thing to do would be to cut Jay off but not bringing himself to be able to. I also ship Juice/Finlay, so I would be very into Jay being jealous and trying to stake his claim while refusing to admit what he’s doing, or a pre-relationship Juice realizing this has been going on under his nose and it makes him realize Finlay is more than just his best bro.
For Will/Hiromu, I am 100% here for twitter flirting and petplay cuteness. Maybe Will is banged up and tries to hide it because Hiromu has better things to worry about, to Hiromu’s growing frustration. Or Hiromu being a port in the storm during Jay’s Chaos reign of terror. I am also very into any kind of magic realism with the Daryls, either Hiromu sending them to look out for Will or them taking it upon themselves to look after Hiromu’s dumb flippy cat. For Will on his own, I really like his relationship with the rest of Chaos and would like some snapshots of that.
I put in Chase on his own because I ship him with a ton of people! I would love Chase/Kenny, Chase/Hangman, Chase/Tanga, Chase/Tama (or Chase/Tama/Tanga!), Chase/Fale during their Tag League, Chase/Kota, or Chase/Kenny/Kota. For Chase/Kota especially I would be really into either when they were tagging with Kota being such an uneasy fit with Bullet Club, or now where they’re obstensibly on opposite sides again. For Chase/Kenny without Kota I really like it pre-Golden Lovers reunion, where Kenny is pining and Chase knows it and tells himself that if he can’t have Kenny’s whole heart a piece of it is good too. And I am here for anything during the Bullet Club schism, especially if Chase gets hurt and some of the OGs have itchy consciences. I also ship Chase very hard with Jason Kincaid, so anything with Chase choosing to recommit himself to Bullet Club and New Japan would be great and Jason dealing with that would be great.
Lucha Underground
Characters/Relationships: Pentagón Jr./Ricochet | Prince Puma, Angélico/Matt Cross | Son of Havoc/Ivelisse Vélez, Aerostar/Drago, Pentagón Jr., Velveteen Dream
For Penta I love his entire arc; I would love anything dealing with his relationship with Vampiro, him getting the title after recovering from the broken back, anything with him dealing with the end of S4 and Vamp’s (reluctant?) betrayal, etc. I find Penta’s whole THING with Vampiro fascinating, it hits so many of the things I love about mentor drama. For Penta/Puma, I adore how their relationships keep shifting as the seasons go, them both having Vampiro in common, Puma’s resurrection issues, his trauma over Konnan contrasted with Penta’s refusal to let anything affect him (or at least he acts like it never affects him!), any of that would be fantastic. I would also be very into Penta showing up at Ricochet’s door after Ricochet’s started with NXT, to Ricochet’s absolute horror! Either in a Beltfuck “How DARE you run out after I won?!” way or needing a safe harbor after S4, Ricochet dealing with his past like that would be fantastic.
Angelico/Son of Havoc/Ivelisse is my OT3, I would love anything there; post match celebrations, the three of them all snarking at each other but pulling together if anyone else threatens, the three of them meeting up between seasons, anything that has them pretending they don’t care when they care a whole lot. Angelico had kind of a rough time the past couple of seasons and I would love the other two patching him up, especially if they’re giving him shit the whole time. I’m also very into actual angel Angelico, especially if it’s revealed under duress and the other two have to deal with all of this now.
For Aerostar/Drago, anything, they are my favorites. I love time travel shenanigans and people meeting each other out of sequence. And the whole period where Drago is Kobra Moon’s captive has so much going on, I would love fraught meetings and Aerostar trying to rescue him but failing.
…I confess, I only put Dream there because the form required two characters but I love him dealing with spooky bullshit so bring it on. Maybe him cosplaying as Puma to get under Ricochet’s skin had some after effects? Or an Aztec god thinks he would make a great host? Or maybe something happens to Aleister and a desperate Velveteen calls the number that creepy old man he met last time he was in Mexico gave him, willing to make any kind of deal and Aleister and/or Ricochet have to fight dark magic with dark magic? Anything like that would be great.
