Martin Blackwood/Simon Fairchild
Martin Blackwood/Simon Fairchild/Peter Lukas
"Big Picture" was easily one of my favorite episodes in S4 thanks to Simon being so utterly charming when he finally got to appear on-tape and I absolutely loved his interaction with Martin. I would love to see more scenes with them, with Simon being his nasty, gleeful self while Martin is wary of him but still snarky and determined, and I would also love to see them both interact with Peter.
Prompts:
Art prompts: Simon and Martin freefalling together, Martin sandwiched between Simon and Peter.
Martin Blackwood/Elias Bouchard
Martin Blackwood/Elias Bouchard/Peter Lukas
I just love all the power play between Martin and Elias. In seasons 1-3, I loved Martin being somewhat out of his league with Elias while Elias was smug and condescending towards Martin, only for Martin to victor over Elias in the S3 finale, while in S4 I loved them being on more equal footing with Elias being forced to admit that Martin was quite shrewd while Martin was bold around Elias. Add Peter to the mix and it's all the more delicious, especially given the bet, Peter's tension with Elias and fondness for Martin.
Prompts:
Art prompts: Elias comforting Martin at the Institute, Peter and Elias ganging up on Martin at the Panopticon.
Martin Blackwood/Peter Lukas
Evan Lukas/Peter Lukas
Martin and Peter as a ship had me at hello when they first met back in "Monologue". I loved how Martin started out all terrified of Peter while Peter was always so overtly friendly witH Martin, only for their relationship to grow more apparently equal with manipulation going on at both sides, with Peter growing to like Martin to the point he told him about how he wanted to die. It's just so good to me and I'd love anything with them.
As for Evan/Peter, it's my incest ship of choice on this fandom. I liked to envision Evan as Peter's much younger brother who Peter had possessive feelings for, and although the canon doesn't seem to support the idea of Evan as Peter's canon I'd still like that, but I'm also willing to accept Evan as Peter's cousin that he happend to be fond of. But I'm open to all takes on their relationship, as long as they have that creepy Lukascest-flavor.
Prompts:
Art prompts: Martin and Peter kissing at the hospital, at the Tundra, in Martin's office, Martin and Peter in the Lonely together, ghost!Peter with Martin, Peter creeping on Evan, Peter kneeling before Evan.
Beholding/Tim Stoker
Jonathan Sims/Tim Stoker
I love the idea of Tim being intimately bound to the Beholding against his will, or serving it unintentionally by having sex with people in exchange of information. I also enjoy the Jon/Tim relationship a lot, all the way from their early friendliness to the tension between them in S2 to the attempted reconcilation in S3. I also love the idea of Tim who survived the Unknowing having to deal with a monster!Jon in S4.
Prompts:
Art prompts: Tim being watched by the Beholding and/or Jon, Tim and Jon having a tense moment.
Simon Fairchild/Tim Stoker
Peter Lukas/Tim Stoker
So I love pitting Tim against bad men and boy are Simon and Peter some horrible men. I love the idea of Simon being his cheerfully fake friendly self with Tim, who is just hapless around Simon, while with Peter I imagine Tim being resentful but not unresponsive to Peter's attention, who in turn sees potential for Lonely avatar-ness in Tim.
Prompts:
Art prompts: Simon and Tim flirting, Peter being smiling and friendly with a grumpy Tim.
Elias Bouchard/Jonathan Sims/Tim Stoker
Elias Bouchard/Tim Stoker
I love the tension between Tim and Elias in canon and Jon in the mix only makes things extra delicious. I love the idea of Elias messing both with Tim's mind and with Tim physically, and I love the idea of Elias and Jon ganging up on Tim together (Jon more or less willingly).
Prompts:
Art prompts: Elias pinning Tim against the desk or a wall, Elias giving Tim a backrub, Tim sandwiched between Jon and Elias.
Martin Blackwood/Elias Bouchard/Tim Stoker
Martin Blackwood/Peter Lukas/Tim Stoker
With Elias, I like the idea of Tim and Martin trying to stick together at the Institute and Elias being out to mess with their heads and their relationship. I'm looking basically for the same thing with Peter, especially in a S4 setting where Tim survived the Unknowing.
Prompts:
Art prompts: Elias walking in on Tim and Martin, Peter, Tim and Martin in bed together.
Martin Blackwood/Michael/Tim Stoker
Danny Stoker/Tim Stoker
I loved Tim and Martin facing off against Michael in canon and I would love to see their adventure in the corridors get explored further, especially if Michael stuck around to mess with them even more. With Tim/Danny, I love the idea that while Tim put Danny on pedestal as someone who he saw as being better than him, Danny was secretly obsessing over Tim and wanting more than brotherly love. Stranger!Danny messing with Tim is naturally always good, too.
Prompts:
Art prompts: Tim and Martin at Michael's mercy, Stranger!Danny holding Tim captive.
Michael "Mike" Crew/Simon Fairchild
Simon Fairchild/Peter Lukas
With Mike and Simon, I like the idea of Mike as a somewhat reluctant member of the Fairchild family while Simon "dotes" on him. With Peter and Simon, I'm interested in seeing just what brought these two together and why they get along as well as they seem to do.
Prompts:
Art prompts: Simon flirting with Mike, Simon and Mike posing together as a couple, Simon and Peter hanging out at the Tundra, Simon and Peter at some high place.
Laura Popham/Alena Sanderson
Anatomy Students/Dr. Lionel Elliott
"Lost John's Cave" is probably my most favorite TMA episode ever and a lot of that had to do with these dysfunctional sisters. I would love to see their relationship get explored in a shippy manner. Likewise, "Anatomy Students" was one of my favorite episodes and I loved the students messing around with poor hapless Lionel, and I'd definitely want to see more of that.
Prompts:
Art prompts: Ghost!Alena with Laura, Anatomy Students ganging up on Lionel.

I would love to see more scenes with them, with Simon being his nasty, gleeful self while Martin is wary of him but still snarky and determined, and I would also love to see them both interact with Peter.

- Whenever Institute employees are disciplined, Martin takes their punishments. Simon is the one to deliver the punishment, either with Peter's help or without.
- Simon has information about Peter that he's willing to give to Martin- if Martin agrees to go out with him.
- Peter and Simon have a bet about Martin and how they get to use him. Martin doesn't get any say in this.

Add Peter to the mix and it's all the more delicious, especially given the bet, Peter's tension with Elias and fondness for Martin.
Prompts:
- So, how did the job interview between Martin and Elias exactly go?
- During his stay at the Institute, Martin finds himself interacting with Elias on a regular basis. Elias may or may not be benevolent to him.

I also love the idea of Tim who survived the Unknowing having to deal with a monster!Jon in S4.
Prompts:
- Tim doesn't want the Beholding, but the Beholding wants him. It watches him constantly, through all the people he interacts with, and claims him through them.
- Death doesn't release Tim from the grip of the Beholding. In fact, he's now helpless in its hands.
- Jon and Tim try to reconcile before the Unknowing. Talk leads to other things.

So I love pitting Tim against bad men and boy are Simon and Peter some horrible men.

Elias Bouchard/Jonathan Sims/Tim Stoker
Elias Bouchard/Tim Stoker
I love the tension between Tim and Elias in canon and Jon in the mix only makes things extra delicious. I love the idea of Elias messing both with Tim's mind and with Tim physically, and I love the idea of Elias and Jon ganging up on Tim together (Jon more or less willingly).

With Tim/Danny, I love the idea that while Tim put Danny on pedestal as someone who he saw as being better than him, Danny was secretly obsessing over Tim and wanting more than brotherly love. Stranger!Danny messing with Tim is naturally always good, too.
Prompts:
- Tim and Martin don't make it out of the corridors on their own. Michael offers to help them- for a price.

"Lost John's Cave" is probably my most favorite TMA episode ever and a lot of that had to do with these dysfunctional sisters. I would love to see their relationship get explored in a shippy manner. Likewise, "Anatomy Students" was one of my favorite episodes and I loved the students messing around with poor hapless Lionel, and I'd definitely want to see more of that.
