I don’t ship Kingdon or Mentos but I do support a secret third thing.
Divorced parents friends.
Mel has no idea because they act civil around her but secretly Santos is flipping off Langdon and Langdon is doing the Langdon Face™️ at Santos but before Mel can even notice, they’re smiling at her and engaged in whatever she happens to be chatting about. But inside they are like two feral housecats ready to tear the other into fucking shreds.
I love the vibe that it’s two parents trying to be civil in order to co-parent and not let their kid notice their tension because they both know she needs the other.
But Santos and Langdon have zero positive feelings for each other, other than mutual contempt and milquetoast respect.
Flowers from Gnarled Roots is my ongoing urban fantasy slow burn incest story, based on an idea that came to me of a dream of all spells having a cost, and a mage who paid the cost of a vital spell by magically erasing his relationship with his sister - where she still existed, but in the eyes of her, and the rest of the world, she didn't have any prior connection to him. He then sets out to find her new identity only he discovers a) she's kinda into him, and b) she's in danger from some kind of magical threat.
I decided I'd start a new post for it rather than just keep reposting the old one with new chapter updates.

(shaking, through tears) may the best bait win! propaganda under the cut:
mulder and scully:
Infamously treated and teased by showrunners + writers like how a gay couple would be baited and like a gay couple in general, although eventually they do kiss and have a son (although that falls through and they become kind of divorced)
during the entire original run of the show i'm pretty sure chris carter would have said they never had a romantic relationship (they had a baby without ever having had sex!) however in the revival their sort of ambiguous What Are We deal was made a lot more explicit so feel free to veto based on these grounds
LITERALLY INVENTED 'SHIPPING'. YOU'RE WELCOME
while i'm... pretty sure they get together eventually (i've only watched a bit of the x-files), from what i've heard they invented the term "shipping" because of people arguing over whether they would/should be romantically involved, so i think they should be included, for fandom history reasons if nothing else
they are a man and a woman who don't get together until ridiculously late but are hilariously devoted to one another, clingy, self-sacrifice-y, and also Forehead Kisses
They’re together but they’re not they love each other but barely know each other
clara and twelve:
their relationship is heavily romantic coded, but is never explicitly confirmed as romantic or not. the queerbait thing of teasing them on socials but never paying them off in canon applies here! also secret love confessions by way of double entendre or omission
they "arent romantic" but obviously they are
They are a man (I guess?) and a woman never get together but physical contact is filmed with such tension, there's jealousy with one member's significant other, "do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference," "I'm changing history to save Clara," "run you clever boy and be a Doctor," "people like you and me, we should say things to one another," "I'll be the judge of time," "If you love me in any way..." okay these all have context but trust me it's Insane
They never get to be together and in their last episode together, Clara presumably confesses her love to him and WE DONT EVEN SEE IT. like immediately after he gets his memory wiped.

Sharing my star vs fanfic again because why not? Also, working on the sequel! I’m happy the weird and rare ship that is Toffipsa/Sweet Eclipse/Eclipsafee (insert any other name I may have forgotten) has been slowly gaining more passengers. :)
