DNW ship-bashing or making this a bittersweet second-best to R/S (though past R/S is fine to mention); also no Andromeda as MIL/potential MIL from hell. No death of either Remus or Tonks.
I feel like it's unlikely I'll get matched on this poor little unpopular ship, but maybe I'll get a treat? :P I'm not a canon-hater, but I definitely preferred a) the kind of flirty vibe they had in OotP and b) the high drama of the end of HBP to ... you know, what happened in DH. So I would love a take that plays with either of those.

DNW James to be too sad. :( His being dead is preferable to his friendship with Sirius being imploded.
I beta'd a Sirius/Lily fic for a friend once and realized that I really like this ship, perhaps partly because we don't know any other female characters of this generation well enough! But Lily's level-headedness and willingness to tell people off pair very well with Sirius's recklessness and temper.
I imagine these AU/fake world tags as being from Sirius's perspective.

DNW anything sexual for Collins/Charlotte.
I'm interested in the unpopular ships of P&P. Would love an exploration of Mr and Mrs Bennet's wedding and how they and their families deal with the social gulf between them, but I'm also fascinated with Lydia and Wickham, and morbidly curious about how Charlotte and Collins get on when they're alone.

DNW Cardassians that are *too* lizardy? Like, they can be more lizardy than the technology/budget allowed for at the time, but let's be reasonable.
So many interesting options for this couple! It would definitely be interesting to explore not just the interspecies relationship, but the interspecies marriage. I love intricate customs and rituals, and Cardassia seems like a super place for that, as well as for a proposal to be rejected because such things are done very differently there. Why would these two need to go undercover as married? I don't know, but it would be very fun, wouldn't it?
