Dear Not Prime Time writer
Thank you so much for writing for me! I love all of these fandoms and relationships, and I'm really looking forward to reading what you write. I've written some prompts below, but you should feel free to follow your inspiration :)
General likes:
-Loyalty/fealty stuff
-~Identity Porn~
-Fantasy AUs, mysteries, time travel
-Some ridiculous tropes I love: bodyswap (especially if disability or gender presentation is in play), someone is cursed to only tell the truth, mutual pining (!!!), fake relationship AUs (!!!!) and/or marriage of convenience AUs
DNWs: Mundane AUs, character bashing, addiction narratives, unhappy endings where everyone's suffering is made meaningless, unrequested noncanon romantic relationships (except for Vorkosigan Saga, where you can have at), noncon between requested pairings, noncanon major character death, crossovers.
Person of Interest
Harold Finch/John Reese, Harold Finch & Will Ingram
For Harold/John:
-There are definitely not enough whole-setting AUs in fandom! I would absolutely love to see any kind of Fantasy AU for this. Harold as a shape shifter/grand wizard? John's some kind of knight? Go wild :)
-On the other hand, an AU (either precanon or where they didn't try to kill him at Ordos) where John thinks he's investigating Harold for the CIA but actually secretly Harold is investigating him would be delightful :D
-Instead of fake dating, what about them going undercover together somewhere they have to spend time with each other but pretend /not/ to know each other?
-(...or you could combine that one with fake dating and have a setup where for some reason instead of having to pretend to be dating they have to pretend to fall in love, go from total strangers to happy couple, that would be amazing >:) )
For Harold & Will:
-Honestly, I'd love to see the fallout on Will of Harold Wren's "death." Uncle Harold was clearly very important to him, and was his father's best friend. Does he go looking? Investigate? How does he cope?
-What if he meets Grace, they realize they're mourning the same person except hey wait a minute her fiance died years before his uncle.... what is up???
-Post-canon: does Harold reunite with Will, as he did with Grace? How does that go, and what's the emotional fallout?
-On the other hand, a case where Will is a Number and the team has to protect him (& Harold gets involved) while also keeping him from The Truth would be amazing. It's up to you which way this one plays out, if he finds out everything, something, or nothing at all about what's up.
Daredevil
Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson, Matt Murdock & Foggy Nelson
So I fell really hard back into this show a month or two ago, but though I'm watching S3 as we speak I haven't finished it yet :P This doesn't mean you can't write for it, obviously--please do!--but I won't be able to prompt for it specifically :)
I think most of these prompts could go in either direction, that is, romantic or platonic. I really ship these two, but I also enjoy seeing them interact as platonic friends (see: my obsession with the canon!), so of course it's entirely up to you :)
-Foggy found out about the senses in college...but Matt still doesn't tell him when he starts Daredeviling.
-A post-S2 AU where Daredevil keeps giving Foggy information. To cover for why Daredevil seems to trust him so much, Foggy tells his boss that Daredevil's his ex.
-What I would really love to see in this fandom is two-way identity porn: Foggy and Matt interacting with neither of them aware who the other person they're talking to is. Unfortunately I cannot think of a single useful way to set this up, but (!) It would be so amazing.
-Avengers AU: Matt is Captain America (whom no one knows is blind), Foggy is the Hulk.
More generally, I love these guys actually talking about their feelings with each other. (They mean so much to each other, it kills me.) If you go the romance route, I really love Matt pining for Foggy <3
I love Karen, and I enjoy her friendship with both Matt and Foggy, but I'd rather not read Matt/Foggy/Karen, thank you :)
(Note: if you're not doing Matt/Foggy I'd prefer that any romantic relationships are more background.)
Vorkosigan Saga
Laisa & Cordelia, Gregor/Laisa, Aral & Alys & Ivan, Gregor & Cordelia, Simon & Cordelia
-I think seeing Laisa and Cordelia interact would be fascinating. On the one hand: this is Gregor's foster-mother, and also married to The Butcher. On the other hand, she too is an outsider to High Vor politics who married into them; I don't think an Empress can hope to be "as invisible as air", but Cordelia might still have useful advice for her. I bet Laisa is nervous, the first time she meets Countess Vorkosigan! And on the other hand, I think Cordelia would be nervous too, not so much for herself as for Gregor, before she gets the chance to know Laisa. I don't know, I think seeing these guys interact could be extremely interesting.
-I would love love love to see Gregor and Laisa after the wedding, married and still (always) having to deal with politics. How do they both feel about having kids? What about when their kids are born? Alternatively, how does Laisa feel after Aral's death, and how does she comfort Gregor? She must be the only person in the whole damn court for whom Aral Vorkosigan's continued existence isn't practically a pillar of the world. It must be very odd for her.
-For Aral & Alys & Ivan, I would actually love to see how their relationship changes over the years, especially the transition from "that idiot Ivan" to the more mature Ivan we know and love. Maybe a small family dinner set after Civil Campaign or Captain Vorpatril's Alliance? On the other end of things, it would be interesting to see Aral supporting Alys and her new baby after Vordarian's been dealth with. Or, Alys and Ivan coming together to Morin with Aral after Miles' death in Mirror Dance?
-I love Gregor and Cordelia's relationship, and we really don't see enough of it onscreen. What about Gregor and Cordelia after Warrior's Apprentice, or The Vor Game? Or after/during Memory, even; it could be interesting to see them discussing Miles. (I can imagine Gregor reassuring Cordelia here, which would make an interesting inversion from the usual.) Or them coming together to mouth Aral, or celebrating at Miles' wedding, or Gregor talking about Laisa to Cordelia before they meet... anything with these two would be fantastic.
-Simon and Cordelia is another relationship we don't see enough of onscreen. I'd love to see them working on something together during Aral's Regency, or Cordelia visiting Simon after his imprisonment (or maybe even during? Would Gregor allow that?) in Warrior's Apprentice. Or, again, it would be interesting to see them in the aftermath of Aral's death--or even the aftermath of GJatRQ, if Simon comes to visit; it would be interesting to see them discuss her relationship with Jole. (Will he be Uncle Simon to Cordelia's daughters, too?)
Honestly I love pretty much everyone in this fandom. I'd rather not read porn for these relationships, thank you, but I'm basically going to love whatever you write here. Have fun! :)

I am here for the exact same reason :)
That whole Will section is amazing, and they have to spend time with each other but pretend /not/ to know each other? is a BRILLIANT prompt, imo.

Just imagine. John teasing Harold about his boss, to his face, and having Harold have to be very careful not to react. Harold starting to trip on something, and John knowing he shouldn't be leaping into action but moving anyway. Harold not being able to say something sarcastic when John does something "unnecessary." John confessing his love of Harold, to someone else, and Harold's not facing them but John knows he can hear, and he's watching Harold's reactions in a mirror... There's a lot of fun that could be had here.
