The deadline has passed, and we have lots more works to approve and some post deadline pinch hits that are coming soon, likely in the next 14-16 hours. If you did not email us about an extension and have missed the deadline, you have been defaulted. If you did and there's been an error please contact us immediately.
If you do not currently have a gift and do not show up in the PDPHs when they are posted, do not fear, we have many many extensions currently out and your creator is likely hard at work. All extension deadlines should be granted to June 8th, 10pm EDT.

Nominations will close 11:59pm UTC on Jun 10. To convert UTC to your time zone, click here, adjust the date as necessary, and click “add a city or time zone.”
Please disambiguate relationship nominations (add the fandom name in parentheses behind your nomination). This will help us approve your tags faster.
Last year's freeforms have been copied over to this year's tagset, and we will also be accepting new tags. Please add category prefixes when nominating! A list of prefixes can be found here - thank you to the spreadsheet creator.
Tagset update for 2025: By request, the A/B/O category has been renamed Omegaverse. One tag had to be shortened to fit the character limit (A/B/O - Alpha/Alpha mating bond assumed impossible but A&B accidentally do it; considered married -> Omegaverse - Alpha/Alpha mating bond assumed impossible; A&B accidentally do it; considered married.) All other tags remain the same aside from the category change.
Nomination Guidelines:
You may nominate up to 7 fandoms, 7 relationships per fandom, and 10 freeform tags. Mods will approve nominations throughout the time range, and clarification questions will be posted to this community.
For relationship tags, please nominate in the format 'Character A/Character B' for romantic relationships and use 'Character A & Character B' for non-romantic relationships. You may nominate more than two characters in a relationship.
Please disambiguate all relationship tags by adding "(Fandom Name)" at the end. Examples: Jake Peralta/Amy Santiago (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Confused Male Demon & The Male Prime Minister He Accidentally Possessed (Original Work).
Freeform tags are for trope or situation matching. Examples include: arranged marriage, accidentally married, sedoretu, etc. Feel free to get creative but please aim for clarity. For example, “soulbond marriage” is ambiguous, “marriage with forced soulbonding” is clearer.
Please include a category when nominating freeforms! This is to help us keep the tagset organized. A list of categories can be found here (thank you to the sheet creator). To use it, please save or download a local editable copy. You can then browse the categories, or click into individual categories to see the freeforms within that category. The public spreadsheet will be updated from time to time as new freeform tags are accepted.
Please nominate only marriage tropes and situations! Freeforms unrelated to marriage will be rejected.
Specific fandom notes:
Update: Dragon Age game nominations go under Dragon Age (Video Games). All other nominations should go under the tag for their specific media type (books, comics, movies, etc).
All of the associated movies go under Marvel Cinematic Universe. Please nominate Marvel TV shows on their own.
All of the associated movies go under DC Extended Universe.
Original Works are welcome. Please nominate under the Original Work fandom tag. If you have specific genders in mind, include those in your nomination. Example: “Female Soldier/Male Assassin (Original Work).”
Crossovers are welcome. Please nominate crossover relationships under the Crossover Fandom tag. List the character name followed by their canon. Example: “Tony Stark (MCU)/Bruce Wayne (DCU).” Crossover nominations that do not follow this format may be rejected.

I'm excited to be running another round of Rare Pair Exchange for 2025. I've appearciated the enthusiasm to see this exchange return!
If you participated in the exchange last year (2024 round), please make sure you have commented on all of your gifts. This exchange has a mandatory rule that all gifts must be commented on (with a good faith effort) for participants to be able to participate again. If you cannot comment on your gift for any reason, please contact me at rarepairexmod@gmail.com. A handy link, if you need it: The 2024 AO3 collection.
If you have not commented on your gifts by the time the 2025 round begins, you will not be able to participate in this round of the exchange.
Please comment on all of your gifts by Monday 4 August (11.59pm EDT).
I will be revising the rules and guidelines for the 2025 round and posting them in the next few weeks. Please note the eligibility criteria remains the same, but we will be adding podfic to our list of mediums allowed in the exchange.
See you in August!
