Hello, Fandom 5K writer! Thank you for offering one of the wishes of my heart. You have amazing taste, just saying.
Whicehever of my requests you matched to, I want to thank you so very much for offering a fandom and a pairing I love and want more (or any at all) for. This letter is really here just for people who enjoy extra prompts and likes to work from. If you have an inspiration you want to go with, as long as it respects my DNWs and matches one of my ships, then please feel free to follow it.
I enjoy everything from a couple of meaningful looks and hand-brushes in an otherwise plot-based, comedy or hurt/comfort fic to full on E-rated smut and everything in between. I welcome any tense, any POV, any format. I'm a shameless romantic, but that can express itself in everything from burning passion to deep tenderness to begrudging, half-admitted feelings slipping through.

Starsky & Hutch
Genres:
My newest addiction! I can't get over the fact that nothing I was told about this canon actually measures up to just how shippy they are. I love their "us against the universe" attitude, the touching, the sharing of food, the teasing and bickering, the deep respect they have for each other, the way they work together, the hurt-comfort, the LOVE. And I love the big colourful noisy 1970s world they inhabit together, the ridiculousness, the strange mix of larrikin mischief and usually uncalled-for violence with flashes of deep kindness and compassion to others, the clothes and cars.
Optional prompts:
This is the PERFECT canon for "undercover as…" or fake relationship in a way that brings out Real Feelings, hurt/comfort, "I would do anything to save you, even give you up" or "I thought one or both of us was going to die so I confessed oops we lived" fic, or "everyone sees it but us" fic or "why do you always take off your shirt around me"... (Seriously, no trope is too tropey for me, and this is like the buddy cop Mother of all Tropes). Or being in a secret relationship where it would be seen as a weakness by fellow cops and crimes alike and has to be kept quiet or there will be real consequences, and how they deal with that.

The House in the Cerulean Sea - T. J. Klune
Genres:
This book filled my heart with longing and sunshine and kindness. Arthur and Linus are my darlings. I appreciated their romance as a quiet part of Linus coming into himself, his heart opening up and coming into bravery, but I really longed to see more of their romance. More pining, more kissing… more smut, optionally. I love every single one of the children and I love Helen and Zoe, so please feel free to include them, but I would like the emphasis on the boys.
Optional prompts:
I would love to see Arthur's point of view more, how and why he seemed to recognise Linus so fast as an "unexpected gift" and loved him so much despite the natural problems with trust. I'd also like to see a more adult approach to their romance--Linus seems very inexperienced, and the developing sexual nature of their relationship would be great to see. (And talking about sex, I'd also be interested in the pining being less chaste, especially as Artjhur seems more self aware). Worldbuilding and seeing their fight for justice for the orphans would also be fun.

Fisk
Genres:
Maybe I'm being optimistic about someone offering an Australian sitcom that's only started airing (although it should be finished soon, only 6 episodes), but it delights me so much and OMG I want my terrible, wonderful Helen to have a girlfriend, preferably one who is as much of a disaster of a personality as she is. Helen/Roz is the perfect rivals-to--reluctant-lovers ship, and I just adored Helen and Ruth bonding over $1 coffee and penis paintings while sitting on shipping crates in the convenience store. I like all the supporting annd background characters, feel free to include them.
Optional prompts:
Any canon-typical shenanigans with shippiness added in would be absolutely wonderous. Or taking a more serious approach about how Helen's complete lack of people skills gets her in trouble and means either noticing a girl likes her or expressing that she likes the girl would be a serious challenge. What WOULD she be like dating, OMG? Are she and Roz doing the equivalent of hair-pulling to get each other's attention? Would she be completely incapable of working out what a drunken making-out (or more) with Roz or Ruth actually meant--relationship or not? Or would she merrily commit herself to fake dating to win a client and get in too deep?

Psmith
Genres:
I just love these boys and their delightful chaotic world so much I can hardly stand it. I love that Mike is so solid and dependable (temper and grateful nature and all) and Psmith so eccentric and fey and yet they mesh together so well. And in my mind they are always madly in love whether they realise it or not, there's no alternative for me. I also like how forbidden the love is and how that raises the stakes: when it's both your dearest companion you dread to lose and a serious matter to the outside world, pining has high stakes.
It can be set anywhere from boarding school to Blandings Castle, but I have an infidelity squick so please let their romances and lovely wives just not have happened.
Optional prompts:
I love get-together fic for these two: what one of them thinks is unrequited pining gradually turning out to be requited. Or conversely, a sign that the other Has Feelings causing confusion and self-examination and oh gosh me too. Accidental proximity leading to accidental evidence of strong physical attraction. Hurt-comfort over injury or sickness. Ridiculous canon-typical shenanigans with added kissing (or more). An apparent coolness that is actually manfully restrained feelings causing much confusion and hurt but finally getting them together. Cricket being Terribly Symbolic.

Good Omens (BBC Radio)
Genres:
There is never enough Radio fic to sate me. I love that these are the versions of the boys who seem to just plain enjoy each other most. I love their voices: Aziraphale is so prissy, bitchy and camp, Crowley tries so hard for a seductive deep, cool purr and mostly pulls it off. I love how shameless they are about indulging the luxuries of life and being fond of humans. I love that Crowley doesn't doubt even for a second that being discorporated would stop Aziraphale. I'm equally happy with get-together post-canon and shagging since Eden.
I don't have any strong headcanon of how they look, anything that you feel goes with their voices is great.
Optional Prompts
I am a complete sucker for setups where they have to pretend to be enemies, even though Hell seems surprisingly chill about it by the Apocalypse. I never get tired of through-the-times or post-canon get togethers. I love the idea of real deep feelings leaking out through their individual styles of detachment. I'd also really enjoy some ridiculous wager or competition between them getting out of hand. Finally, I don't think I've ever read a human AU for the Radio versions, and the idea of Aziraphale getting to really dig down into the role of a prissy-bitchy camp gentleman that the only genuinely cool Crowley can't help but be into is delicious.

Good Omens (BBC Radio)
Genres:
The book was my first love and book characterisation makes me so happy. I love the contrast between Crowley's late 80s-early 1990s executive yuppie facade and Aziraphale's unwelcoming, odd-smelling bookshop, yet they understand each other so well. Of all (well, except the movie script) GO canons, these two seem the least inclined to internally face the fact that they are more than "a kind of" friends as well as enemies, which makes their little signs of connection all the more poignant.
Please follow the hints in the book that Aziraphale appears older and heavier than Crowley, thank you!
Optional prompts:
The inherent awkwardness of making advances towards something more intimate and passionate is something I never get tired of. The more awkward and repressed and agonised the better, frankly. Any encounters through history, especially involving them getting being human just that bit wrong. I'm a sucker for Crowley being mistaken for Aziraphale's paid companion, or trying to negotiate a life after admitting that Adam's advice about messin' around with people was a good one. Crowley deciding to seduce Aziraphale to be, well, annoying, or prove a point, and getting in too deep. Absolutely anything that forces them to confront their feelings for each other.
