My fills up to now. Not sure how many more I will do at the moment.
For
stydia, Riverdale, Betty/Jughead, he came from the wrong side of town
Betty’s mother wouldn’t have approved of anyone she had dated; the fact that Jughead came from the south side of the town was merely an additional irritant to her. Betty could have probably brought Prince William home and Alice Cooper would have criticised him for having divorced parents/losing his hair/having a disgrace like Harry for a brother or something equally stupid.
She didn’t know then that part of Alice’s disapproval stemmed from the fact that he was the son of F.P. Jones, the man who had witnessed her arguing with Betty’s father in the moment of telling him she was pregnant (not that F.P. even knew exactly what he had witnessed anyway). Betty just thought it was because he was from the wrong side of town. But it didn’t matter to her, or to Jughead, never had. What mattered was that he understood her better than anyone, supported her with her search for Polly and with everything else going on in her life, was a great listener. Who cared that he came from a Southside Serpent background?
Then had come his move to Southside High, and Betty had taken one look at Jughead laughing with the group of kids, looking comfortable in a way he never really had at their school, wearing the Serpents jacket, and she started wondering if they belonged to two separate worlds after all.

captandor, Game of Thrones, any of the Starks, To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity
Catelyn had warned Robb that he was making a mistake, but he had chosen to put her warnings aside. Robb should have remembered that he was a king first and foremost, King of the North, not a lover. In making the marriage with House Frey, Robb could have solidified his claim to the throne, maintained the alliance.
Instead he put the alliance aside in favour of the secret marriage with Talisa, angering the house of Frey, imagining everything would work out because he had Talisa by his side.
As Catelyn realised that Roose Bolton had come prepared for war, she realised that Robb’s having forgotten his purpose in being a king had become his undoing.
For
stydia, Teen Wolf, Malia/Scott, cold comfort
Malia looks at Scott and knows that he’s with her because she’s there, just as she’s with him for the same reason. In theory, as a werewolf, he should be better suited to her coyote nature than the human Stiles, but it was true what she had said when they were trying to get him back, Stiles had always been the person to keep her tethered to her human nature. Stiles was with Lydia now, and Malia cannot begrudge that; Lydia is her best friend, and she also knows that Lydia was the one to remember him, to keep the faith, where Malia had allowed Stiles to fade from her mind. Yet now she cannot help but think of him, knowing he is no longer hers.
As for Scott, Malia knows he is looking at her and thinking Allison, just as she thinks Kira had known deep down too, wonders how much of a part that played in her leaving.
They know it’s not the real thing, but they will take comfort in each other for now.
For
bm_shipper, Supergirl/Flash, Winn/Cisco, soulmates
“So, you’re Cisco?” Winn asked. “Dude, I finally get to talk to the real you! Kara’s talked a lot about you, and I’d always hoped that one day I’d get to meet you.”
“Really?” Cisco asked. He hadn’t really known what to expect when he picked up the device, just known that he’d been fascinated by the idea of actually using it to call another universe. It seemed kind of crazy to be so excited by it. He’d been to other universes before, including Winn’s, and he’d even met another version of himself. So why was he so excited at the thought of talking to this guy?
“Sure! Ever since Barry and Kara first told me about you. From the way Kara talked, I was pretty sure you could be my BFF. Seems like we have a lot in common.”
Cisco looked forward to finding out whether that was true.
“Okay, so on your universe, Buffy was on the air for another two years, and Anya survived right to the end?” Cisco asked. He and Winn had been chatting for most days now, and discovered they had been right in thinking they could be best friends; they had so many things in common, from their taste in music to shows, even if they were discovering that there were different canons in different universes. “Not sure how I feel about that, she was never really one of my favourites.”
“But not as annoying as Dawn!” both said together, and burst out laughing (they were finding they had quite a lot of moments like that too).
“Okay, do we have some kind of Vulcan mind meld?” Cisco asked.
“I’m just happy to finally be around someone who gets the reference, without me having to nag that person to watch the show, like I did with my friend Mon-El and Star Wars!” Winn laughed. But he knew exactly what Cisco meant, because he felt a connection with him that he’d never felt with anyone.
Winn hadn’t yet told James, or Kara, or anyone that he was considering leaving his universe to be with Cisco. It wasn’t the right time to tell Kara after Mon-El, and James was still struggling with his feelings of being like a spare part. But Winn couldn’t put it off forever. He hated living in a separate universe from his soulmate, knowing how much he was missing out on from Cisco’s life. From the day they first chatted to now, the connection had grown, and Winn knew what he had to do.
For
eternal_moonie, Supergirl/Legends of Tomorrow, Kara Danvers/Sara Lance, having just said goodbye to Mon-El, Kara is heartbroken and seeks comfort from Sara Lance. (P.S. I still want to use Iris for this idea too!)
Sara understood why Kara had come to her, looked into her eyes as Kara begged and pleaded with her to use the Waverider to take her back so she could fix things somehow, to go back, grab Mon-El and take him to Sara’s universe where the lead wouldn’t be a problem, to grab him and escape from Rhea’s ship and allow Alex to fire, even just to speak to Lena and warn her about Rhea so Rhea would never have had the chance to invade Earth at all.
She looked into Kara’s eyes and saw the same expression that had once been in her own when she had been tempted to take out Damien Darhk before he could kill Laurel, when she had wondered about the possibility of bringing Leonard Snart back, for Mick as well as for herself, and in Martin Stein’s once he had realised he had a daughter he shouldn’t have had because he had changed time.
“I know, Kara,” she said, taking Kara into her arms. “I understand, I’ve been there. But we can’t change what happened, it’s too dangerous to do that.”
“I miss him so much, Sara,” Kara whispered.
“I know, and I will help you, I’m here for you,” Sara replied as she pulled Kara closer.
