We know most of you have been looking forward to this post, so without further ado, here's your chance to 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're someone who loves trying new canons or is currently on the hunt to become obsessive about something else, this is a great post for you!

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 [community profile] yuletide for the inspiration for the form.

    Canon: We Only Kill Each Other (Comics)

    Ships: Jonas Kaminsky/Levi Solomon

    Media: Comics (5 issues / 1 trade paperback)

    A summary of the canon: We Only Kill Each Other is a comic book miniseries by Stephanie Phillips and Peter Krause, set in New York City in 1938. Two Jewish gangsters—one a young up-and-comer, the other a veteran mob boss—are locked in a turf dispute that's one bad night away from murder. New York doesn't seem big enough for the both of them, but their rivalry is put into perspective when an unexpected bust and a terrorist attack force them to team up to take down some homegrown Nazis.

    Comic Panel: Jonas Kaminsky

    Comic Panel: Levi Solomon

    While working together to foil the German-American Bund's next move, Jonas and Sol confront the generational and cultural differences that divide them as American Jews, bicker, protect each other, and by the end of it are sharing secrets and sitting down to a Shabbat dinner together.

    What do you love about this ship?: The canon Enemies to Reluctant Allies to Friends trope—which just makes me want to append "to Lovers" at the end of it. Jonas and Sol have a fascinating dynamic with a wealth of backstory and further potential revelations to explore. They have so much in common but start off defining themselves by their differences, and with Jonas kicking hard against the age and experience gap between them. The way they spark off each other doesn't just bring out the most interesting sides of their characters, but is also what makes it so satisfying when they start truly operating as partners. Their last scene together is a hell of a thing and leaves the door open for a future where they spend more time together.

    What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Everything from a future partnership, to missing moments within the comic, to flashbacks to their earlier interactions, to AUs exploring Sol's comment about having been open to taking Jonas under his wing. Other cases, other clashes, quiet nights in, or lively nights out.

    Content warnings: Nothing I can think of that isn't covered by the summary: some violence, portrayals of antisemitism, etc.
