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.

Thanks to yuletide for the inspiration for the form.

Canon: A Room with a View (1985 movie version)

Ships: George Emerson/Lucy Honeychurch

Media: Films

A summary of the canon: Chirpy Lucy Honeychurch meets a bohemian - an intellectually-curious but monoslyobic and depressive young man named George Emerson - while on holiday in Florance in roughly the spring of 1908. Staying at the same pensione, the young couple are inadvertently thrown together when George's unconventional father suggests Lucy and her chaperone trade rooms with the Emersons so the women can benefit from a view neither man cares much for and which Lucy craves.

Lucy and George - though they hail from completely different classes - are drawn together by mutual curiosity, loneliness, the beauty and art of Italy, and an act of heroism by George. It culminates in a sudden kiss in a field filled with corn and poppies during a day trip. They are torn apart by propriety - particularly the concerns of Lucy's older chaperone-cousin Charlotte.

Lucy returns home to Surrey and accepts the suit of Cecil Vyse, a mama's boy who lacks George's passionate nature and fails to appreciate Lucy for her true self. It seems as if Lucy's set for a passionless borgieous marriage - but then a mean-spirited trick by Cecil results in the Emersons moving into a vacant cottage on Lucy's very street. Thrown back into George's orbit - and leaning that the dithering Charlotte had not been circumspect about witnessing George and Lucy's kiss - young Miss Honeychurch finds herself caught between what society expects of her and what her heart and soul desire.

What do you love about this ship/these ships?: You can cut the UST with a knife in this one, and the characters are adorable and sweet and worthy of the ending they get. It's star-crossed romance combined with comedy of manners, and it's lavishly shot with great acting.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Anything from fluff to smut - I have a very long request list for the two of them.

Content warnings: Some extended cis male nudity; a scene where a background character is stabbed to death onscreen in a bloody fashion.
