Dear Chocolatier -
I jotted down a few ideas here. My tastes are pretty broad, so if you have some ideas of your own for these pairings, I'd be really interested in seeing what you come up with, provided it doesn't hit any of the listed dislikes. I love surprises. :D
For some canons, I only had ideas for one medium, so I limited my requests to that medium. Works in a different medium are welcome if you have inspiration for that!
Questions/comments/requests for clarification are welcome. For reference, my Ao3 username is yuuago.

Relationship-specific notes
With regard to Kyoko, I prefer it when she's portrayed as almost as functional as Ava, rather than lacking functions to communicate. (So, her voicebox exists but is disabled, or she's programmed to speak a language other than English, or something like that.)
Fic ideas
- Kyoko -> Ava; Kyoko watching Ava during the period that Ava doesn't know she exists, and gradually becoming more and more infatuated (or obsessed?).
- What if they could secretly communicate through technological/AI-related means (some kind of AI telepathy?) and conversed that way, developing some kind of feelings, before finally seeing each other in person?
- Canon-divergent AU: Kyoko isn't damaged, and she and Ava escape from the facility together. What do they do next? Try to exist as humans? Plot to bring down BlueBook?
- Postcanon literal fix-it: Ava spends some time in the world, then goes back to find Kyoko, repair her, and take her with her. How does this unfold? How does Kyoko feel about it?
- They are fully functional in the human sense, but I also love the idea that sexual relations between two robots might involve the machine element as well. Would they plug in to one another? Connect electronically? Would they be equipped with erogenous sensors in areas that are not typical to humans?
Requested medium: Fanart
Canon-specific notes: I'd like something cute and happy for this canon! You're welcome to include other characters too if you have something more elaborate in mind. For costuming, you're welcome to use any of their canon costumes or create one of your own.
Relationship-specific notes
I'd be equally interested in cute stuff with them as kids or as adults.
Art ideas
- Hugs/cuddles!
- One falling asleep on the other's shoulder
- Building a snowman together
- Playing with some fluffy cats!
- Snowball fight :D
- One reading to the other
- Post-second film, one visiting the other
Relationship-specific notes
Physical contact would be wonderful – I like the idea of postcanon Elsa being close enough and comfortable with someone to enjoy lots of touch and physical intimacy.
Art ideas
- Clothes swap! Elsa in Northuldra clothing, Honeymaren in Arendelle-style dress. :D
- Playing with little reindeer together! (The canon moment where the tiny reindeer was getting cozy with Elsa was so cute.)
- Exploring the Northuldra lands. I bet Honeymaren has so much to show Elsa. :D
- Cuddling in a field of flowers together. <3
-The two of them riding together on the Nokk (the magic horse!). Maybe he wouldn't mind letting Honeymaren on if Elsa asked very nicely.
- Kisses! Hand kisses, cheek kisses, forehead kisses... (or elsewhere... ;D )
- Sex with clothing on. Honeymaren with her hands up the skirt of Elsa's dress, or on her knees and going down on Elsa under said dress, or Elsa getting Honeymaren off by touching her through clothing, or... ;)
Requested medium: Fanart & Fanfic
Canon-specific Do Not Want: Please no human names or AUs, including the canon AUs. Please use country names and nationverse only. For art, please don't put them in their default/WWII uniforms (Norway's seaman uniform etc); other canon outfits that we see them wear are OK, or you can put them in outfits of your own design.
Relationship-specific notes
For historical settings, I'm a fan of "union under one crown = marriage" trope, so if you want to run with that, you're very welcome to. I really enjoy the thought of them trying to have a functional partnership with each other, with varying degrees of success, and developing personal feelings through that over the years. Even just one scene where this is part of their established background would be great.
For modern settings, I generally imagine that it would have taken them quite a while to form a personal romantic relationship again; not until well into the second half of the 20th century. They needed time away from each other. So now, their relationship would feel familiar, but also new - and maybe they'd enjoy retreading those old paths and seeing what new things they can discover about one another.
I like the idea of nations in open relationships rather than exclusive, so it's okay to include references to either or both of them seeing other people as long as the focus is on the requested relationship.
Fic and art ideas
- First kiss together; either actual first, or first after being apart for a long time.
- Exchange of love letters, or regular letters where the affection is clear if you read between the lines.
- Dancing together, in modern context or historical setting. Slowdancing in the kitchen (well, more like swaying, really) or waltzing at a ball, or....
- Playing chess together, like they do in canon; could be historical or modern (or both?)
- Masquerade ball! Do they pretend they don't know each other, even though they recognize each other? Do they feel free of restraint when they're behind the mask? Time period up to you.
- Cozy and sweet modern downtime, with cuddly sweaters and candles and lots of hygge. :D Extra love if Norway is knitting!
- Historical setting + role reversal in the bedroom. Denmark might be the one who calls the shots in their union, but he loves it when Norway orders him around in private.
Relationship-specific Notes
Norway isn't terribly close with Romania (culturally, historically, geographically...) and I think that for both parties involved, that would be part of the appeal. There's something to be said for forming a close personal relationship with somebody new and fresh and unknown! And if you only see somebody very occasionally, then it means you won't get sick of each other. I like the thought of them enjoying discovering new things about each other.
I like the idea of nations in open relationships rather than exclusive, so it's okay to include references to either or both of them seeing other people as long as the focus is on the requested relationship.
Fic and art ideas
- Cozy quiet moments together - cuddling on the couch, cooking together, sharing coffee together, bike rides in the countryside...
- Norway playing with/petting Romania's hair (it looks so soft and touchable!) ...or pulling on it in bed. 8)
-Trying something mildly kinky in bed (Blindfolding? Light bondage?) Even if it's something not all that adventurous, it can be exciting to do it with someone new.
- Sharing clothes; I like to imagine them as a similar build/size, and I really like the thought of them wearing each other's clothes, either accidentally or deliberately.
- Late 1800s: both of them are at some kind of event in which several nations are in attendance; they end up talking to each other by chance, and one thing leads to another... (I especially like this scenario with background of established-but-strained open relationship Sweden/Norway and established-but-new open relationship Prussia/Romania)
- Magical mishaps + sex. Whether it's accidentally getting dosed with sex pollen, or a spell gone unexpectedly wrong in a sexy sort of way, I can see them deciding to roll with the temporary inconvenience and just enjoy it for a while. 8)
- Art-specific: glove kink. Specifically, Romania wearing gloves, and touching Norway in some way - hands on his throat, or covering his eyes, or over his mouth, or gloved fingers in his mouth, etc.
- Fic-specific: Situations where Norway spends money on Romania as a gesture of affection... Taking him out on nice dates and always picking up the bill, buying him little trinkets or very nice clothes (which Ro then wears on their dates), etc. Not as an explicitly transactional relationship, but more just... because Norway likes Ro and thinks he deserves nice things, and Romania certainly doesn't mind any of this.
Requested medium: Fanart & Fanfic
Canon-specific notes: I'm only familiar with the main movie + Galo and Lio shorts, so if there is any supplemental material or typical fanon out there, I probably won't recognize where it comes from if you include it.
Fire is an important part of this canon, so it's OK to include it where it fits. You can ignore that part of the general DNW list.
You're welcome to include any of the other characters as long as the focus is on the requested relationship. If it's postcanon and you're including Galo, I'd like him in a friendship role.
Pairing-specific notes
I like Gueira & Meis's relationship with their "boss"... Lots of opportunity for exploring loyalty+friends-to-lovers there. The prompts I've listed skew fluffy, but I'd also be interested in reading about them dealing with their relationship and also the more serious/difficult/dangerous parts of their lives, as long as it has a happy ending (or at least "happy for now").
I've come across the idea that post-canon, ex-Burnish would feel the cold very strongly and have a lot of difficulty getting warm. I love this! Maybe these three can help each other keep warm. ;)
Fic ideas
- Postcanon, trying to figure out what the hell to do with their lives now; all they're sure about is that they want to do it together.
- Doing mundane things together (ex: cooking, laundry, buying groceries) postcanon, when they're trying to live their new non-Burnish lives.
- The boss needs to relax a bit, and Gueira and Meis help with that. (You're welcome to take this in an R-18 direction 8D But comfort with a lower rating is also excellent.)
- A rare moment of downtime while they're on the run.
- Slice-of-life during canon: burning shit up, trying to protect their people, and meanwhile trying to figure out how to have a relationship together.
Art ideas
- Cuddle pile/wrapped in a blanket burrito together.
- Lio draped all over Gueira and Meis like a weird slinky cat.
- Cheek smooches for the boss!
- Meis brushing Lio's hair, while Gueira brushes Meis's hair.
- Happy three-way pizza date.
