Fandoms:
The Royal Trap
Maddie/Colette is canon and it's great, but the epilogue leaves something to be desired. I'd love to see any scene from their continuing romance in Gwellinor. Doesn't have to be a fluffy cotton-candy happily ever after, doesn't have to be domestic bliss or marriage in all but name. I do want it to be a generally positive relationship between equals, whether it works out or not.
I like Maddie/Cassidy a lot especially in the context of them getting closer after the Nazagi good end. That, however, is not required. Definitely feel free to write another epilogue or a missing scene or something canon-incompatible. And if you use Nazagi's end, you can definitely leave him out entirely or leave him in the background.
Person of Interest
Root. Roooooooot.
Root, to me, is a very dark character despite her deliberately candy-sweet facade. I love her as a manipulator and as someone who dances on both sides of the morality line. I like her canon dynamic with both Shaw and the Machine. This can be post-apocalyptic set in later seasons, or earlier in the show when things are a little less grim, or a canon divergence A/U of some sort. I'm not really interested in complete A/Us for this show. Unless it's a Leverage A/U, that would be pretty funny.
Uprooted
Anything at all with Kasia, whether it's backfic about childhood crush, or Kasia pining from afar, or a future reciprocal relationship. Would rather canon setting than a complete A/U, though.

I adore this entire canon and this entire fandom. I love every pairing, even if there are some that I'm more specifically invested in (in terms of having OCs and headcanons and the like). I love Ana, and Ria, and Gisette and I love every background.
(unethical) Corval!MC/Gisette and Wellin!MC/Ria are the pairings I'm specifically invested in, because I have OCs involved in them. If, however, you have a totally different take on either pairing, I would welcome that just as much. And I love fanfic and fanart equally.
I am trying really hard not to be limiting but also not to be too vague. Is it working?
Long Live the Queen
I put in two canon pairings and one slightly cracky one. There are so many wonderful ways for Elodie to be dark and menacing, I would really love to see a little more of her dynamic with Alice. And I like Elodie and Briony's canon relationship because it's light-hearted and funny and cute, and makes a nice contrast to the general drama of Elodie's life.
I included Briony and Gwenelle because come on, something's gotta be going on when Elodie isn't around, and since we can't see that in canon, that's what fanfic's for.
Skyrim
There are about a billion pairings that I could have included. I did put in mostly NPC pairings, but I also made a point of including DB/Brelyna since it's a canon pairing that I like a lot, but which doesn't seem to get a lot of attention.
I have no particular preference for DB's race or class. Khajiit and Argonians are more than fine, orcs too.
for the NPC pairings, I have a slight tendency to go for the obscure. But Ria and Aela have such a great dynamic, I don't really get why people don't write them together more. I have liked almost every bit of Sapphire/Vex I've read so something snippy but sweet would be great here. And TBH I included Gabriela mainly because I get so little of her in canon, and I think she's adorable in a creepy way.
