Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain (1995)
Beth Easton & Jody Salerno (Gold Diggers)
Fanfiction
Beth Easton & Jody Salerno
This is the only tag for the film that I nominated because to me, this is the only relationship that really matters. :) Really, they are the heart of it all. I'd love anything from their friendship during the rest of the summer after the events in the film, or at school the following year; they're local celebrities now, but they're not going to let that get to their heads. What's popularity compared to a friendship you can count on? I'm good with turning it into a romantic friendship, too, if you'd like to go that way. I just love the bond these two have! I can see them talking about their dads, about what they'll do when they're grown up, going on more adventures at Bear Mountain… Feel free to AU things as well; as long as the girls have each other, you can go dark with this one.

Fanfiction
Amanda Reardon (C-16: FBI) & Lindsay Boxer (WMC TV)
The same actress plays both of these (about 10 years apart), which leaves all kinds of room for interesting crossover-ness. I can't usually buy "twins separated at birth" storylines (and Lindsay is so obviously older than Amanda), but mistaken identities are so much fun to play with, and both characters are great law enforcement agents in their own right (well, Amanda is rather new and Lindsay's quite experienced, but you know Amanda's gonna be great!). How do they meet?
Cassie Holmes (Push) & Miss Parker (Pretender)
Oh, this one could be veeerrrry interesting. On one hand you have Cassie, a fugitive from a powerful agency… and on the other you have Miss Parker, who works for a large corporation that controls things about as much as Division tries to. Does Cassie help Jarod escape and end up in Miss Parker's sights? Or does Jarod help Cassie out and that gets her to meet Miss Parker in some way? I'm not sure how they meet or what would happen (sorry I'm not more helpful!), but I would love to read whatever you come up with! :D

Brooke Haslett & None, Jess Mastriani & Brooke Haslett, Jess Mastriani & Brooke Haslett & Sunny Estrada, Jess Mastriani & None, Jess Mastriani & Sunny Estrada, Sunny Estrada & None
Fanfiction
Jess Mastriani & None
Introspective look at her new job, at her friendships, etc.? Or maybe take a look at some of the loose ends the show left with regards to her dad?
Brooke Haslett & None
What happened between her and Coyle? Or what was it like for her growing up? Anywhere from childhood to getting into Quantico…
Sunny Estrada & None
How did she get to Quantico? I mean, what was the path of her life to that point? (Keep in mind she's amazing with computers, something I love and that we don't see enough with women!) Also, Sunny calls herself "the Einstein of Indianapolis" but in the next moment says she "was beginning to wonder" about having a career at all. There's some backstory there that I'd love to see.
Jess Mastriani & Brooke Haslett
Anything that gets them chatting, whether it's a case or Brooke giving Jess advice on something…
Jess Mastriani & Sunny Estrada
At the end of "White Whale", which is possibly my favorite ep of all, we see Jess as the only person to really comfort Sunny. Coyle isn't close, he just steps off and takes charge of the situation (which is what he's supposed to do, anyway). Brooke pats Sunny's shoulder and then looks away—she's uncomfortable. But Jess doesn't hesitate: as soon as she's allowed to approach, she's there for Sunny. That speaks of a closeness we don't really get to see a lot of. How did that develop? Or write a continuation of that ep?
Jess Mastriani & Brooke Haslett & Sunny Estrada
Casefic! Or a rare occasion where they hang out outside of work. I just love the dynamic and banter between them. If you're particularly into crossovers (no obligation here!), the whole team would cross nicely with The Pretender, I think (which is eligible for this exchange and is in the tagset, I just didn't think of nominating the ship) I could see Jarod popping up in a missing persons case—that is one of the ones close to his heart, after all. Or Sue Thomas F.B.Eye? (Maybe the two taskforces have to team up for something.)

C-16: FBI
Amanda Reardon & None, Annie Rooney & None, Jack Dirado & Amanda Reardon, Jack Dirado/Amanda Reardon
Fanfiction
Annie Rooney & None:
I love Annie's competence, and the fact that she is trying to be both awesome FBI agent AND mommy—and she struggles, like many women do in her situation. It's not clear-cut; she's good at both (as boss John tells her in one ep), but they both demand so much of her and it's a constant balancing act. I find the realism very fascinating; I haven't seen the like on many shows (when they show women being good at their jobs, they don't usually have a family, or if they do, they don't have a lot of issues trying to do both, and that's just not how it is for a lot of women).
I'd love to see a fic dealing with her being a mom, whether it's a glimpse of her caring for her son (the little she gets to do that) or the custody battle. I'd also love a fic of her being a kicka** agent (I loved it when she figured out who the target was in that one ep and tackled them to save them).
Amanda Reardon & None:
I love Amanda's earnestness, trying to get it right, be good at what she does, and trying to earn respect from Jack. She witnesses a lot during the show, and I really feel for her in that. I also love her snark; Angie Harmon seems to have been destined to play snarky characters (a decade later, her role of Lindsay in Women's Murder Club and recent role of Jane in Rizzoli & Isles both have lots of snark).
I'd love to see more of Amanda growing as an agent, bonding with Mal, learning from some of the more experienced agents, etc. I'd also love to see some of her backstory, what made her become an FBI agent, her experiences at Quantico, etc. Would rather not see any of her with Scott romantically.
Jack Dirado & Amanda Reardon and Jack Dirado/Amanda Reardon
I'd love to see more of these two coming to an understanding. Whether that be platonic or romantic, I'd be good with it. I tend to find it difficult seeing Jack being outright romantic in any way (though what on earth was that kiss on the cheek when he was in the hospital? and he did basically admit to his Indian friend that he liked her), but the line between caring friend and hidden love is rather thin, especially from Amanda's POV, and I'd love a fic that skirted that or played with it. Or perhaps a fic from Jack's POV showing his thoughts on Amanda over time - from verging on harassment to respect? I don't have a clue how they'd actually end up *in* a relationship, but I'd love to see you write it!
I'd also love something plotty focusing on any of them, if that's what interests you! So many possibilities for that…

Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye
Myles Leland III/Tara Williams (Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye), Myles Leland III & Tara Williams
Fanfiction
Myles Leland III/Tara Williams (Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye)
These two are the "odd ones out" in a sense. Jack has Bobby, and Sue has Lucy, and D has his family, but who do Myles and Tara have? Myles sometimes confides in D, as D is a lot more mature than Jack and Bobby are (and despite Myles' shortcomings at the beginning of the show, he's got a lot more maturity, he's just scared to ever be vulnerable), but D isn't the sort of close friend you can go to anytime, I don't think. And Tara is probably used to spending her nights alone in front of a computer. But if they got to really talking with each other, I think they could open up, and Myles would be the sort of gentleman that Tara longs for—romantic, genuine, and sincere (as long as he can relax his guard enough to trust her). Plus I think she has the potential to really respect him (and cut back on those cutting barbs they like to throw Myles' way) and build on something deep. I'd love anything from a follow-up convo after the pretend dinner in Bad Hair Day (with a dawning realization on the part of one or the other that their feelings run deeper than they thought for the other agent) to Tara talking with Myles about how it doesn't work for her to date Bobby (but he might do?). Or it could be Myles and her in a bad situation and realizing that they don't want to die before they confess they love each other (sure, it's tropey, but I love it, lol). Whatever comes to mind for you!
Myles Leland & Tara Williams (Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye)
Notes here are the same as the / one, but focusing on just their potential for friendship. I can see them just hanging out in the evenings, especially if the rest of the team has no idea (precisely because they don't want to be teased when it's just friends). Playing games together and arguing playfully, I can picture it now. Or just conversations in between cases, or Myles saving Tara's life, etc. :)

Fanfiction
Cindy Thomas & Claire Washburn (WMC TV)
I'd love to see Claire mothering Cindy, or even Cindy helping Claire in some way. Cindy's sort of bonded with Claire's son already; I can see them inviting her over a lot, sort of a big sister/aunt figure.
Lindsay Boxer & Cindy Thomas & Claire Washburn & Jill Bernhardt (WMC TV)
I love the interactions of these four characters and would love anything in the theme of the show. Whether it's discussions of their club "it's not a club", or supporting each other through something, I just love them and would love to see more of them!
Lindsay Boxer & Cindy Thomas (WMC TV)
I love the interactions between these two. I see a bit of hero worship on Cindy's side, and annoyance that turns to fondness and respect on Lindsay's. I'd love to see Cindy being ridiculous, or Lindsay saving her life. Or more of Lindsay and Cindy regarding the shooting in ep #12. Maybe an alternate ending where Jill isn't the one that stays at the hospital? Or maybe a fic about Lindsay and Cindy's friendship starting to grow from the beginning. I see a bit of insecurity in Cindy with regards to her friendships with the others. Or a missing scene with the two women? One possibility is right after Cindy was a decoy (you could AU it so she gets injured doing that if you like), or later that day. I'm sure you can come up with more. Does Cindy ever find out about Lindsay and the baby? (Or crazy idea yet, what if the pregnancy test was positive after all? Cindy finding out would make an interesting story.) Or just a fic where Cindy's being her usual adorably ridiculous self and Lindsay is wondering if she needs to shoot her. Any interaction between these two would make me happy.

I'd also love a fic of her being a kicka** agent (I loved it when she figured out who the target was in that one ep and tackled them to save them).
Amanda Reardon & None:
I love Amanda's earnestness, trying to get it right, be good at what she does, and trying to earn respect from Jack. She witnesses a lot during the show, and I really feel for her in that. I also love her snark; Angie Harmon seems to have been destined to play snarky characters (a decade later, her role of Lindsay in Women's Murder Club and recent role of Jane in Rizzoli & Isles both have lots of snark).
I'd love to see more of Amanda growing as an agent, bonding with Mal, learning from some of the more experienced agents, etc. I'd also love to see some of her backstory, what made her become an FBI agent, her experiences at Quantico, etc. Would rather not see any of her with Scott romantically.
Jack Dirado & Amanda Reardon and Jack Dirado/Amanda Reardon
I'd love to see more of these two coming to an understanding. Whether that be platonic or romantic, I'd be good with it. I tend to find it difficult seeing Jack being outright romantic in any way (though what on earth was that kiss on the cheek when he was in the hospital? and he did basically admit to his Indian friend that he liked her), but the line between caring friend and hidden love is rather thin, especially from Amanda's POV, and I'd love a fic that skirted that or played with it. Or perhaps a fic from Jack's POV showing his thoughts on Amanda over time - from verging on harassment to respect? I don't have a clue how they'd actually end up *in* a relationship, but I'd love to see you write it!
I'd also love something plotty focusing on any of them, if that's what interests you! So many possibilities for that…

DNW/Caution note: I'm not averse to mentions of sex, but I'd prefer the fic not focus on it or indulge in the physical feelings. Emotional feelings/bonds are what I focus on in any ship. If a prompt requires a mention or implies sex in some way, feel free to include it as necessary as long as the focus of the fic is elsewhere.

Myles Leland III/Tara Williams (Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye), Myles Leland III & Tara Williams
Fanfiction
Myles Leland III/Tara Williams (Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye)
These two are the "odd ones out" in a sense. Jack has Bobby, and Sue has Lucy, and D has his family, but who do Myles and Tara have? Myles sometimes confides in D, as D is a lot more mature than Jack and Bobby are (and despite Myles' shortcomings at the beginning of the show, he's got a lot more maturity, he's just scared to ever be vulnerable), but D isn't the sort of close friend you can go to anytime, I don't think. And Tara is probably used to spending her nights alone in front of a computer. But if they got to really talking with each other, I think they could open up, and Myles would be the sort of gentleman that Tara longs for—romantic, genuine, and sincere (as long as he can relax his guard enough to trust her). Plus I think she has the potential to really respect him (and cut back on those cutting barbs they like to throw Myles' way) and build on something deep. I'd love anything from a follow-up convo after the pretend dinner in Bad Hair Day (with a dawning realization on the part of one or the other that their feelings run deeper than they thought for the other agent) to Tara talking with Myles about how it doesn't work for her to date Bobby (but he might do?). Or it could be Myles and her in a bad situation and realizing that they don't want to die before they confess they love each other (sure, it's tropey, but I love it, lol). Whatever comes to mind for you!
Myles Leland & Tara Williams (Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye)
Notes here are the same as the / one, but focusing on just their potential for friendship. I can see them just hanging out in the evenings, especially if the rest of the team has no idea (precisely because they don't want to be teased when it's just friends). Playing games together and arguing playfully, I can picture it now. Or just conversations in between cases, or Myles saving Tara's life, etc. :)

Cindy Thomas & Claire Washburn (WMC TV), Lindsay Boxer & Cindy Thomas & Claire Washburn & Jill Bernhardt (WMC TV), Lindsay Boxer & Cindy Thomas (WMC TV)
Fanfiction
Cindy Thomas & Claire Washburn (WMC TV)
I'd love to see Claire mothering Cindy, or even Cindy helping Claire in some way. Cindy's sort of bonded with Claire's son already; I can see them inviting her over a lot, sort of a big sister/aunt figure.
Lindsay Boxer & Cindy Thomas & Claire Washburn & Jill Bernhardt (WMC TV)
I love the interactions of these four characters and would love anything in the theme of the show. Whether it's discussions of their club "it's not a club", or supporting each other through something, I just love them and would love to see more of them!
Lindsay Boxer & Cindy Thomas (WMC TV)
I love the interactions between these two. I see a bit of hero worship on Cindy's side, and annoyance that turns to fondness and respect on Lindsay's. I'd love to see Cindy being ridiculous, or Lindsay saving her life. Or more of Lindsay and Cindy regarding the shooting in ep #12. Maybe an alternate ending where Jill isn't the one that stays at the hospital? Or maybe a fic about Lindsay and Cindy's friendship starting to grow from the beginning. I see a bit of insecurity in Cindy with regards to her friendships with the others. Or a missing scene with the two women? One possibility is right after Cindy was a decoy (you could AU it so she gets injured doing that if you like), or later that day. I'm sure you can come up with more. Does Cindy ever find out about Lindsay and the baby? (Or crazy idea yet, what if the pregnancy test was positive after all? Cindy finding out would make an interesting story.) Or just a fic where Cindy's being her usual adorably ridiculous self and Lindsay is wondering if she needs to shoot her. Any interaction between these two would make me happy.
