Julian Bashir & Enabran Tain (DS9)
Elim Garak & Enabran Tain (DS9)

DNW: - Anything sexual! This includes sexual attraction. Romance, such as crushes, dates, flirting etc is ok! Im sex repulsed and would rather avoid it.
- extensive making out, or making out with tongue
- uncomfortable with closed mono relationship dynamics as a multishipper (such as "X is taken, you cant flirt with them", cheating, etc) and prefer to see everyone as polyam
- No romantic Garak/Bashir, but queerplatonic or platonic is more than welcome
- no neck kisses, A/B/O dynamics, nudity (such as shirtlessness)

Likes: Violence, holosuite roleplay, soulmate au, Tain being a smug bastard, Tain being an old man, angst, fluff, crushes, queerplatonic/untraditional relationships, Garak being a mentally ill mess, Tain being a mentally ill mess, toxic relationships, cuddling, teasing, but anything goes as well! These are just some of my favourites

Prompts: Anything goes! With Tain being such a niche character, some ideas could be maybe something with him teasing Bashir or Kelas about their crushes on him, being disappointed in Garak for his incestuous feelings yet not commenting on them, or even a holosuite adventure where Tain is hesitant to indulge in such activities, only to have fun once he can show his scary, serious side. I personally like to think of an AU where Tain survived and is forced to crash on DS9, while everyone outside of it thinks hes dead.

Fandom thoughts: I headcanon Tain as a fully aroace trans man, Bashir as trans and bi and Garak as gay and agender! Tain is my favourite character in all of Star Trek and he is extremely underrated. I personally see him as an orphan who climbed his way up to the top against all odds, but not without the trauma of growing up in such a society. He doesnt realise hes traumatised, and just thinks the way he is is normal. With emotional walls set way too high, extreme paranoia and alcoholism to deal with his depression and PTSD (he doesnt remember most of his childhood), i find it quite fun to think about scenarios where he begins to trust someone and mildly lowers his fortress, letting himself enjoy the affection hes never had. He is also quite a smug character and its very visible in his interactions with Bashir in The Wire and Garak in Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast.

Treats: Very welcome! If you want an extra challenge, randomly choose any two DS9 characters and try to write a fanfic about them interacting!

I don't "ship" these in the traditional sense. I like them because of the potential for things to get MESSY. I don't want either of them as a traditional romance.

With Kira/Winn, I love the idea of a toxic, codependent sort of relationship, of Kira having unwanted attraction to Winn that is tied up in her complicated relationship with her religion, Winn taking advantage of her. Alternately, Kira thinking by sleeping with Winn she might be getting one over on her, because Winn is weirdly tied up in her even as late as season 7 when she's involved with the pah-wraiths, going to her for religious advice. Regardless, looking for a dump-truck of religious guilt mixed in with being hot for powerful older women :)

Curzon Dax/Benjamin Sisko (DS9)
Julian Bashir/Curzon Dax (DS9)
Jadzia Dax/Benjamin Sisko (DS9)
Dax Symbiont/Benjamin Sisko (DS9)

Prompts/Likes:

With Sisko/Jadzia, my preferences are more similar to the ones in "traditionally shippy DS9 requests" in my sign-up, except that I'm more flexible about if you want to write this as a more casual, less "endgame" relationship, like them hooking up but it not turning into an ongoing romance too. I also love more classic "romance" plots as well! But I'm more open to you going a different route, so long AS there is either some reciprocal romance or sex - no pre-romance/pre-het/UST, please. A version of "Fascination" where Sisko reciprocates Jadzia's interest in him would be cool if you want a specific idea!

With Curzon/Sisko, it could be that they hooked up once or a few times, or a more ongoing relationship that's also mixed with a sort of mentorship.

Julian/Curzon I like as a fun time-travel hijink: Julian goes back in time, meets a younger Curzon Dax and they bang. What kind of dramatics ensure? How does this affect his relationship with Jadzia or Ezri when they get back? (No endgame Julian/Jadzia or Julian/Ezri please, as per the DNWs, so this is more "how would it affect their friendship/working relationship?")

With Garak/Curzon, the idea would be that they met on Romulus pre-canon and something happened. Again, exploring how this impacts what Jadzia or Ezri think about him or their platonic/coworker relationship would be interesting, as well as how this might impact his (hopefully shippy) relationship with Julian.... Sisko finding out could also be funny!

Dax Symbiont/Sisko is about the idea of Sisko being with multiple Daxes throughout time, and could be an interesting place to do a soulmate AU, though I'm up for whatever you have in mind there!

I don't "ship" any of these in the traditional sense. I like them because of the potential for things to get MESSY. I don't want either of them as a traditional romance.

With Disko, I tend to see it as one-sided on Dukat's end, and especially love stuff where he's really deluded about how much Sisko is not attracted to him. However, I'm also into the idea of a more reciprocal version where it's a hook-up or something else casual happening ONE time, maybe early on before Sisko really understands just how terrible Dukat is, or maybe as part of a power ploy by Sisko. And imagine what would happen if people found out about that? With these two, it's more about the humorous potential of the ship for me. I can't see it as Sisko ever having serious romantic feelings for Dukat, lol.

Damar/Kira Nerys (DS9)

Prompts:
I'm really into stuff that embraces the fraught history between these two, and the fact that they serve different worlds and Kira's (at least initial) discomfort with being into a Cardassian, especially Ziyal's killer. I'd like if it explored how that attraction and even eventual love is complicated by all that. Especially situations where Kira is a Bajoran politician and Damar a Cardassian politician after the war (if you go with a Damar-lives situation); there are a lot of fun ways you can play this, such as their relationship being politically unwise, them meeting up in secret at meetings/summits or whatever, or even a marriage alliance between the two of them to show their worlds are mending things? (And maybe in that scenario feelings aren't ALL there yet, but they grow over time.) I'd still like some kind of romantic resolution for them, but it shouldn't be an uncomplicated road.
(Or if you'd like to go more a lighthearted route, Dukat's reaction to Kira being into Damar but not him would be hilaaaarious)
(Or canon-complaint where they bang in Mila's basement - with messy feelings - always good ;))

Kasidy Yates & None (DS9)
Leeta & None (DS9)
Winn Adami & None (DS9)

Let's get some interesting backstory, worldbuilding, etc. fic about some of DS9's fascinating minor characters!

Mostly, with these women, I'd love to know more about who they were pre-canon, or at least pre-their involvement in the canon.
-How did Kasidy end up as, basically, a space pirate? What was her earlier life like? What is her family like, or the community she grew up with?
-What was Leeta's life like before she came to DS9? What was it like for her on Bajor, including during the occupation? What led to her becoming a dabo girl?
-What was Winn's life during the occupation, and as part of the Bajoran Resistance? How did her experiences differ from Kira? You can also use this to explore how Bajoran religion "worked" during the occupation in a more worldbuilding-style way.
-I'm also fine with post-canon realities for Kasidy and Leeta.
-With Kasidy and Leeta, while I'm not asking for stuff to be shipping-FOCUSED, if you want to delve into their canon relationships with Sisko and Rom, I love both of those ships (and they both need more fic) so I'm totally fine with that. I'm not a huge fan of Julian/Leeta as a focus (see DNWs) but it's fine as a temporary, background thing.

Most of my "likes" in the other prompts are romance- or smut-specific, but I do still really love gen that is focused on alien cultural differences, alien worldbuilding, and political drama.

My Tobin/Iloja desires are similar to the ones for DS9, so see there!
With the Curzon ships, mostly interested in playing with these within the confines of that story and his relationships with Benjamin and Cal as his younger mentees.

Trek-Specific DNW:
Alien religions having fundamentalist Christian ideas about gender, sexuality, abortion/birth control etc. that they don't in canon | Any character in main couple being previously unaware of/closeted about their same-sex attraction | Any plot involving Kira having to “get over” her feelings about the Cardassian occupation (see letter for more details, I don't expect this to come up with these ships but jic) | AUs that change the setting or central relationship significantly (e.g. canon divergence is fine, all-human or modern-day AUs are not. In terms of the "relationship" part, no age swaps, gender changes, etc.) | Autistic headcanons for characters other than Bashir, Odo, Rom, Ezri or Tobin Dax + as main focus of story | Misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, or socioeconomic class systems being part of non-Earth cultures unless they are in alpha canon (e.g. Ferengi misogyny). You can have their society have other prejudices. (Note: Cardassia having a class system, Garak being "service class," etc. is not alpha canon, so I don't want it) | Non-canonical Major Character Death (MCD) | Racism/colonialism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, or (non-canonical) ableism still existing on 24th-century Earth | Sad/ambiguous/unhappy endings with Garashir: including breakups, never-getting-together or UST | Trans/non-binary headcanons for major characters other than Dax or Odo
