What is rarepair bingo? We at shadowhuntersbetas wanted to celebrate the rarer ships in the Shadowhunters fandom. Fill out a typeform with your favorite pairings and tropes, and we’ll send you a bingo card. Once you receive your card, you can start writing fics for each square on your card to try to get a bingo or even a blackout.

What qualifies as a rarepair? Any pairing (OTP or OT3) that has fewer than 200 fics on AO3. Pairings that are NOT considered rare would be:  Magnus/Alec, Simon/Raphael, Clary/Jace, Clary/Isabelle, Jace/Simon, Simon/Isabelle, and Jace/Alec. (You may include popular pairings in your fic as background pairings, but the main focus must be on the rarepair.)

How to enter:

Reblog this post to spread the word.

Make sure you’re following this blog (must follow to enter).

Fill out this typeform with as many tropes/AUs/prompts and pairings as you can (the more you put, the more you’ll like your card).

Send us an ask saying that you’ve filled out the typeform.

Rules and Content Guidelines:

Tag your fics with #shrarepairbingo so that we can reblog them to this blog, or tag us

If you’re posting to AO3, please post to this collection. It should come up if you search shrarepairbingo when posting your work.

You can combine up to 2 squares in 1 work, but only a pairing and a trope, not 2 pairings or 2 tropes.

Fics should be at least 500 words, and must be new works

When you receive your card, you will also be paired with one of our betas, who will be able to look over all of the fics written for your bingo card.

We will not make cards with Clary/Alec, Sebastian/Clary, or other racist, abusive, and/or homophobic ships.

No noncon/dubcon will be accepted, and no sexually explicit material written by people under 18.

The password for the typeform is: Medium Rare

Sample card:

(with a dash of Sizaphael)

• They both defend the hell out of Simon. In a fight, it’s hard to not stick next to Simon the whole time. If someone insults him to their faces, Izzy’s already got that whip around their throat and Raphael is hissing at them.

• But also, Raphael and Izzy become very protective of each other. Which was not any easy thing for either of them. We know they’ve never gotten along, they’re so different from each other. But the thing that makes them work through their issues is their shared deep love of Simon.

• At first, it’s just to please Simon but they learn they have common traits. Neither of them trust easily but once they do, they’re all in and are very loyal to the people they care about.

• Raphael is actually incredibly impressed that Izzy is the best forensic pathologist at The Institute. She’s very young but very smart and can’t help but feel a sort of pride in her. Likewise, Izzy is surprised and equally impressed that Raphael is much younger than his own clan but is the one to lead them.

• Izzy’s more fluent in Spanish than Simon so she and Raphael will have whole conversations in Spanish. Raphael talks to her about his life in Zacatecas and about his mother. Izzy admits her relationship with her own mom isn’t what she wishes it was.

• So Raphael cheers her up with a shopping spree of course. They make excellent shopping partners. Raphael’s suits and jackets, Izzy’s fashion forward dresses and tops? C'mon. Raphael gets Izzy into wearing more jackets herself and Izzy gets Raphael to wear more color and patterns.

• Raphael is nothing if not a gentleman. After all, his momma raised him to be a good Catholic boy. So one night when Izzy, Simon, and Raphael are out together it starts getting a bit cold. He notices Izzy curl her arms around herself but doesn’t say anything so he of course takes off his jacket and places it on her shoulders.
