Hello! Welcome to this chaotic mess, and thank you for considering writing for me.

First of all: I'd prefer any treats containing words to be in English, thank you.

The canons I'm most familiar with:
- Mystic Nine (book and show alike. seen the movie too)
- book canon up until Reboot - I also read Yucun, but not Reboot/what comes after
- the dramas I have seen, except for TLT2.5 and if ZHH drama happens during this year, I'll probably watch it (i read the ZHH book)
- Time Raiders
- the Xiazi side movie and the HeiHua movie

General things I like:

Bickering, bantering
Battle couples/moresomes
Sparring leading to making out
Porn With Plot
Soulmate AUs (especially if they are unconventional - say, you fall in love with someone who is not your Soulmate, and going against societal expectations, and of course exploring poly soulmates)
Romance, love and fluff and kisses and cuddles
That italicized oh, especially if followed with oh no or oh fuck
characters looking at themselves and going “really?!?!! we have to develop feelings for them?!?!!?”
“oh the idiots are out early… oh shit it’s MY idiot” dynamic
codependency. characters who’d let the world burn, as long as they can be together
okay, so maybe they will probably do the right thing - provided their lover is safe first.
chaotic gremlins or originally evil characters forcibly made behave, because they got attached to a ray of sunshine and THIS WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER IF THEY HADN’T BEEN INFLICTED WITH MORALS GODDAMNIT
fantasy AUs - dragons and magic and all of it
Sci-fi AUs - especially to the style of Firefly, spaceships with small crews traveling alongside each other. Maybe all falling in love with each other, during the long times in deep space
sedoretu AU
Pacific Rim AU
I love “weird” romances. One of them is a sentient spaceship. Or a robot. Or one of them is possessing the other. I love some good ol’ fashioned monsterloving too.
Hurt/comfort

DNWs:

cheating, any shape or form
animal abuse. if it’s say, an adventure story where giant spiders attack the cast, and they have to kill it, that’s fine, but any other way, no
A/B/O, unless you are focusing on the societal aspects of it
noncon
sad endings, unless otherwise specified.
homophobia, transphobia, even internalized - no struggling with sexuality or gender identity. there’s enough of that IRL, i want to see this part of the relationships be smoother in fiction. same goes for anti-poly sentiments
No mentions of Yan Sanxing
If the Iron Triangle is present, and their relationship comes up, they should all be in romantic relationships with each other, or all platonic or all QPR. No background pairing where only two of them are involved.
No polyships with only two of the Iron Triangle present
No explicitly cis Xie Yuchen, Hei Xiazi, Wu Xie or Huo Xiuxiu. You do not have to mention it, you can just ignore their gender identity, but don't make them explicitly cis
I'd prefer if Zhang Rishan/Liang Wan and HeiHua wouldn't be shipped without each other. In the case of Rishan, M9-relationships are fine. For HeiHua, you can do it like HuaXie is a thing (as it's one of my prompts), but it's a background poly arrangement. You don't have to mention it but don't make it out of the question either. Polying them up always works.

Ships I like, and some notes about them. Some will have more notes than others.

Iron Triangle

-listen i’m ride or die for these three

-ace headcanons are welcome if all three of them are on the ace spectrum

-domesticity! weird tomb raiding nonsense, banter, followed by cuddles. that part in the beginning of reboot where Xiaoge and Pangzi have full trust in Wu Xie guiding them when they are blind? yes. all of that. Yucun stuff is encouraged. anything Yucun, really. the three of them being total weirdos, and borderline cryptids at the Rain Village is chef’s kiss.

-also the vicious protectiveness they have of each other. like Xiaoge threatening A Ning with a sword to protect Pangzi in tlt2 or in UN him and Wu Xie getting in Panma’s face with the spider? how they are clearly all each others’ first priority? that’s what i love to see.

-i really like AUs. Xiaoge as a weird fae creature falling in love with two humans? maybe. or a Pacific Rim AU, either having a Jaeger that needs three pilots or they have to rotate piloting it. Dragon Age or Mass Effect AUs, bonus if you make them different races.

-so in Time Raiders we really didn’t get many triangle interactions. let’s fix it. Pangzi and Wu Xie bonding while waiting for Xiaoge in that weird steampunk au verse? and when Xiaoge comes back, they all fit together all naturally somehow? i’d love to see if their dynamic would be different in that universe, and if yes, how

- So apparently in a newer update, people can become "Zhangs" by "heating their blood up". Let it happen for Wu Xie and Pangzi. Can have them in pain, just have it be a happy ending

Wu Xie/Xie Yuchen

-terrifying power couple of Jiumen let’s go! I’m weak for them in TLT2, but especially in UN. i love how they are both terrifyingly competent, but also total dumbasses occasionally. gremlin boys being gremlins. i am also intrigued by their Sha Hai versions and their full terrifying power couple potential behind the scenes.

-my one big thing for them if you choose them - if you mention them, then please leave Xiao Hua’s relationship with Xiazi and Wu Xie’s relationship with the other two of the triangle vague enough so it could be interpreted however you want. like not in a cheating-sense but like in a way that i can headcanon there being some kind of poly agreement, so either don’t mention them at all, or have it vague enough i can headcanon whatever. what i mean is, don’t be like “oh Wu Xie Would Never Date Pangzi And Xiaoge” or anything that outright makes it clear that they aren’t together.

-i am very much open for AUs for them. Pacific Rim, Dragon Age or Mass Effect especially.

-there is the idea that Wu Laogu wanted to arrange a marriage between them - what if they still did so? arranged marriage au! they end up still falling in love! love to see it. how does it change their lives and their relationship?

-Time! Raiders! Verse! Imagine Xiao Hua being an extra steampunk madlad with a long pink longcoat for the Aesthetic. Maybe he was one of the kids in the beginning watching Wu Xie be pied piper for the bugs. Xiao Hua being the one dragging Wu Xie out of his shop, and into tombs again. maybe the two of them getting into the history of the Jiumen of their world, or just simply messing around in other tombs

Hei Xiazi/Wang Pangzi/Wu Xie/Xie Yuchen/Zhang Qiling - what is better than Heihua and the Iron Triangle? All five of them together, obviously. Maybe working together on some case, or maybe outsider POV of their relationship. Or maybe a soulmate AU?

Or consider: HeiHua goes to Yucun. Maybe they retire alongside the iron triangle, maybe they are just on vacation, who knows. Anyways, they spend some time there, and they join in the friend-fiction trend they have on the community bulletin board. So the five of them keep writing fanfics about each other, and it gets increasingly more and more… romantic, sexual, saucy. Haha it’s just a joke, right? (Spoiler: it isn’t)

Points: just the fact that most of these five people are not really trusting people but they still got to trust each other unconditionally? makes me so sappy. the TRUST. the BOND.

Bai She/Huo Daofu/Liu Sang - I just think the bitchy potential is off the charts with two prickly bitches and one fuckboy as a cherry on top. Casefic, or just them being a mess at Wushanju is always fun. Liu Sang and/or Huo Daofu being stressed about their taste in men, because why are they into Bai She?!?! It makes no sense if you ask them, and yet

Liang Wan/Zhang Rishan/Yin Nanfeng - screw canon setting the ladies up to be catty over Rishan. Let them conspire against him, let them all kiss each other. terrifyingly stunning owners of the Xinyue Restaurant

Bonus: you can add more people to these three. Some ideas I’m fascinated by: adding Liu Sang, Su Nan, or Ba Ye to make it an ot4.

A Ning/Wang Pangzi/Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling - ESPECIALLY in Time Raiders AU. I really loved their interactions there, and would love to see more of it. Fate getting them together again on another adventure… or maybe all of them have something in their pasts, tying them together?

Hei Xiazi/Xie Yuchen/Wang Can - hear me out. What if either Xiazi or Xiao Hua scoops up Wang Can from the compound at the end of Sha Hai. Let him find a new beginning with them, maybe even being Xiao Hua’s retainer. Does he need protection? No. Does he think it’s sexy when Wang Can beats the shit out of a wannabe assassin? Yes. Xiazi agrees, especially as both Wang Can and him are gremlins who can bother Xiao Hua together.

Zhang Haike/Wang Can/Jiang Zisuan - murderous assassin boys really want to kill Wu Xie. Maybe they are really competing over who gets to find this one target. They find Haike instead. Hilarity, hijinks and eventual repressed emotions ensue.

Welcome to the Chen Pi Zone - I love that little bastard a lot so I have some specific Chen Pi Notes

Chen Pi/Wu Laogu - both of them having been duped by QDK during their lives. Also their kids do end up together. I don’t want them to cheat on their wives, but there might be some kind of open marriage arrangement going on. Them bonding, kinda messy hookups (that Chen Pi insists didn’t mean a thing even while being aggressively cuddled by Wuye) and the resulting awkwardness when Sanxing and Wenjin begin to date, I just think the idea is hilarious

Chen Pi/Zhang Rishan - Enemies With Benefits. Chen Pi is one of the last people to die of the old generation that Rishan knew, and he realizes he misses him, much to his own annoyance. Also the begrudging respect they have for each other is chef’s kiss

Er Yuehong/Chen Pi/Ya Tou - Here’s your challenge - make this mess actually work out and for them to be happy together. Or maybe you can go a bit twisted about this - after all, Chen Pi would do anything for them especially early on. Which is something that Er Ye could very easily utilize…

Yin Xinyue/Chen Pi/Zhang Qishan - the way Xinyue can handle both of them lives in my head rent free. Let the power couple keep a little murder puppy as a treat.

Chen Pi/Qi Tiezui - so maybe the 50 facts are not canon, but I like some of them so those are canon to me, aight? Like the one where Chen Pi actually listens to Ba Ye’s predictions after it proves right one time. Or the one where Chen Pi likes to visit Ba Ye’s shop and listen to his nonsense. I just think there is potential here, aight?

Chen Pi/Anyone who can get his head on straight, honestly. Let him be with someone who will both care for him and call out his ass as well. Let him be loved and roasted in equal measure. If you want to yeet someone else back in time from present time to kiss him stupid, that also works.

(Or as a separate thought, if that one doesn’t appeal to you, and interested in crossovers: Fan Junyao and/or Rong Aoshuang from Tientsin Mystic, or Huo Wensi from Detective L. If you know, you know.)

Girls, Girls, Girls

DMBJ girls have such a shit hand dealt to them, so honestly, I'd be fine with a lot of ships involving ladies. Some are already above, but have some more involving girls:

Su Nan/Zhang Haixing - OKAY HEAR ME OUT, Zhang Haixing is PROBABLY a Wang, so what if murderladies knew each other? maybe? sexy sparring at the compound? i’m open to possibilities

Hei Xiazi/Huo Xiuxiu/Chuchu/Xie Yuchen - let the four gremlins be gremlins together, go maybe in tombs together. The balance and dynamics between the four of them would be great, I’m pretty sure. Xiazi rethinking his life choices when those three gang up on him and roast him together the first time. but we know he is into it, so really, who is the real winner here

Ya Tou/Yin Xinyue - let! the! ladies! kiss! Preferably in poly context with their husbands knowing and approving, and just… their interactions were so cute. I’d like to see more of that, please

Lulu (Boss Ma’s girlfriend from Sha Hai)/San Ye (the lady around Jiang Zisuan in Reboot) - no actual thought, I just think they deserve the world. Maybe Lulu gets hired as a nurse by San Ye, and they bond over their messy taste in men and kiss instead. Maybe they get to save each others’ lives! Sanye can save Lulu in a fight, and Lulu can patch Sanye up afterwards.

A Tou/Liu Sang/Bai Haotian - so in the new jiumen extra, the top three gates are the iron triangle, the bottom three gates are the tiger trio. well if those trios are all dating each other, it only makes sense for these three to date each other as well to me. i love the idea of them being the underestimated, yet surprisingly competent ones of the new jiumen. i would love to see their dynamic, and how they handle working together, and how they get together. Some thoughts: A Tou working on Liu Sang’s tattoo (especially if they figure out a way to modify it to be more fitting to Liu Sang and not just trying to imitate someone else’s), maybe even tattooing Xiao Bai, all three of them being annoyed by being called the Fan Triangle.

Su Nan/A Ning, potentially coupled with Wang Can/Jiang Zisuan: one of the above two gets together first, and then their siblings/sibling-like-figures also meet. Maybe it's Wu Xie introducing his sexy lesbian friends to each other, and then their feral little brothers meet. Or the other way around. I just think fun hijinks should ensue from these double dates.

More general gen thoughts, feel free to combine them with above ships:

Chen Pi raising Liu Sang and Wang Can (who are twins). I’m open to multiple possibilities - him taking the twins in when he is an old man, or the twins somehow ending up back in time and being raised by a younger Chen Pi. I want Chen Pi to still be a prickly, temperamental bitch, but I don’t want him to be abusive to the twins. Maybe not the warmest father figure but he cares - in his own way. And would rip anyone apart who threatens his kids. You can add Wenjin as a sister figure, or other family members known from Sha Hai as well.
I really like the mysteries in the Sha Hai extras - I’d like to see more in that style. Wang Meng, Kan Jian and Bai She having to deal with whatever weird shit is going on around Wushanju at this point. Huo Daofu and Liu Sang can also tag along
uncleswap - it’s “Xie Lianhuan” who returns, and “Wu Sanxing” is the one considered dead. How does Wu Xie’s life change, with him having an uncle who disappeared when he was just a kid? Is he closer to Erbai this way? And what about Xie Yuchen, with his dad/uncle being in his life, and running the family? I’m especially curious about these two, how their life and relationship with each other changes, with the uncles deciding differently
I’d love to see theories about Er Ye’s descendants. Maybe they left the family and lived a normal life - or maybe the descendants found their way back to the tomb raiding world under a different name. I had written AUs before where Liu Sang (sometimes alongside Wang Can) are Hong descendants - you can use that to spin your own take on it as well, but if you can come up with some other options, with someone else we know being descended from him, I’d love to see it. (Some ideas I’m spitballing: maybe Su Wan’s family got money they inherited from tomb raiding past, even though Su Wan has no idea about it. Or maybe one of Er Ye’s kids signed up to Warehouse 11 to look over it, especially after Fo Ye had dealings with them too - and one of that Hong kid’s descendants is Xiao Bai.) I’d really be interested in seeing how the characters react to discoveries like that - does it change their perception of themselves? Do others treat them differently after? (Especially thinking of Zhang Rishan or Xie Yuchen here)
Jia Kezi lives, and gets a job at Xinyue Restaurant. Bonding with the listening servants, maybe even with Rishan and Yin Nanfeng. I just think he deserves better things
Su Wan is a doctor according to one of the extras. Probably a well-respected one, but he definitely has some eccentricities - I’d love to see an outside POV of Su Wan, the successful doctor who has weird research topics, says weird shit occasionally, alludes to weirdass “adventures” he had and also one time kicked the shit out of someone who wanted to attack people at a conference. And also has weird thug buddies.
