2024 Talk about your ships!
Share what you love about the rare ships you've nominated and will either request and/or offer! Some of the rare ships in the tagset belong to rare canons. If you love trying new canons or are currently on the hunt to become obsessive about something else, this is a great post for you!
You can use the form below to get started. (You don't have to if you don't want to, but we advise trying to make your comment easy to read.)
A few things to consider:
Please try to keep your thirst to one comment.
Please try to limit the number of gifs and videos you post, if you choose to provide some supportive material. (We recommend any more than one gif/video that you can link for anyone with a slower Internet connection.)
Please link and mark anything that is NSFW, especially if you're posting gifs/videos. (We'd also appreciate trigger warnings for the big triggers. If you think it needs a trigger warning, please add it.)
Please remember that this post may contain triggering topics due to canon content that may or may not be warned for, so please view the content at your own discretion.
You can also use this post to ask for canon recs. We recommend advising what you're looking for (a particular medium or a canon that's so many hours long?)—and it wouldn't hurt to mention what kind of ship dynamics/tropes you're into since that's why we're here!
We won't be moderating this page as closely, but we will screen/freeze threads as needed. If you need to get in contact with us, please reply to this comment.

Ships: Harumi Masahiro/Sengoku Tetsu
Media: Manga
A summary of the canon: Harumi and Sengoku are friends and single dads who decide to live together to make the daily life of parenting easier. Cooking for their preschool-aged children proves to be a challenge, so they start taking classes and learning new recipes.
It's a cooking manga, so every chapter features a meal being prepared and eaten (and everything looks delicious), and the plot is a chill slice-of-life about the challenges of parenting and the value of choosing who to make a family with. I love the quiet, low-stakes atmosphere, cute family dynamics, and the sincere moments when characters deepen their understanding of each other.
The art is lovely and expressive (it's by the same author who did Cherry Magic!), and you can read the three volumes that are out in English so far (pay to read) here on MangaPlanet.
What do you love about this ship/these ships?: Shockingly it's NOT BL, but with a setup like this how could I resist!! Harumi and Sengoku have a delightful mismatched, odd couple dynamic. Sengoku used to be a delinquent and still has a rough, aggressive demeanor, while Harumi is an easy-going, soft-spoken manga editor. I love the deepening intimacy of two people living together who aren't a couple to start off, and especially the potential for two guys who are shown to get mistaken for a gay couple wondering if all those people might be right.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Getting-together and first times; characters grappling with sexuality; drunk sex; rushed, quiet sex while the kids are asleep; anything expanding on the way that they've become family to each other. And of course anything focused on food, cooking, and sharing a meal.
There are currently zero (0) fanworks for the fandom on AO3 and the tag doesn't properly exist yet, so if you're the type to enjoy kicking off a new, tiny fandom, please come join me :3
Content warnings: Parents getting angry at/frustrated with small children and punishing them (these incidents are always resolved afterwards); one instance of a character talking about past domestic abuse.
