Some fun facts, Reasoning and the Grand List below the readmore!
*If I missed one please provide the name of the episode and year/what series it would be in so I can find it and add it. Does not count hugging, nuzzling, blowing kisses, licking or foreheads knocking together [unless there is a kiss sound effect]. Does not count Tom or Jerry kissing anyone else [ie. Tom kissing Toodles]. Only counts instances of kisses, so if Jerry kisses Tom 7 times in the same scene, it only counts as 1 kiss.
Fun facts:
The era with the most kisses is Hanna-Barbera with 16, followed by The Tom and Jerry Show (2014) with 8 and Chuck Jones with 4.
Tom initiated the most kisses by 8! Tom initiated 21 times and Jerry 13, with 2 kisses listed under other/undetermined*
Counting only classics, Tom initiated 14 times and Jerry 7 times.
Counting everything but classics, Tom initiated 7 times and Jerry initiated 6.
The only era with more than 1 kiss that Jerry beat Tom in initiating kisses is The Tom and Jerry Show (2014). Tom initiated 3 times and Jerry 4 times, however one of the ones counted under Jerry is technically accidental [episode Kiss and Makeup]
There is little to no overlap in their reasoning for kissing. The only overlap is in the accidental category.
The only Tom and Jerry movie with a kiss between them [as of 2023] is the Tom and Jerry Movie (2021).
Their first kiss is in the third short released, The Night Before Christmas (1941)
Their latest kiss is in Tom and Jerry in New York, episode Dream Team. Released July 1st, 2021

Tom:
Thanks/Please/Sorry: 9
Friend Proof: 7
Personality Change: 3
Tom's reasons with 1 kiss:
In Love with different character [Springtime for Thomas (1946)]
Accident [Guilded Mouse Ille (1967). First kiss was accident, so counted under accidental.]
Jerry:
Taunt 4
Glad you are back/Glad I am back: 3
In Love: 2 [The Brothers carry the Mouse (1965) and TJ Show (2014)'s Bottled Up Emotions]
3. Taunting someone else: 2
Jerry's reasons with 1 kiss:
Distraction [The Night before Christmas. Initiates by holding mistletoe and inviting Tom to kiss him]
Accident [Tom and Jerry Show (2014) Kiss and Makeup. Throws himself between Tom and Toodles to save Tom. Accidentally gets kiss on cheek from both.]
Other category is for stuff that I genuinely struggled to find/write reason for OR it's kinda unclear what/who it should count for. For instance, in the Tom and Jerry show (2014) episode Return to Sender, they were pushed together by a wizard and forced to kiss. Other is not counted under either Tom and Jerry and so is not in the counter.

Hey y'all
So I'm almost on spring break! Finals puts me in the mood to write for some reason. Long story short, my total Ao3 word count is 91,884. I therefore want to write 8,116 words to get to that sweet sweet even 100k.
Below are story ideas. One for Loonatics Unleashed, rest for Tom and Jerry. There's also a poll and I will write whatever wins. Poll ends around 2am, March 14th, PST
Loonatics Unleashed:
Solution [name pending]
"After another failed demonstration, Tech and Rev return to their home 3.5 minutes before the meteor falls, and their lives are changed forever." An expansion off this post. A different remimaging of Tech and Rev's relationship right before they get their powers. Based technically on the AU I had in my head, but I will write it with their canon powers and such. Rev will have his speed prior to powers, though. Oh, and some light angst as they figure out their powers, including Tech's :)
Tom and Jerry:
Rewrite/Remake: Don't fall in Love
"Jerry makes bet with Tom, the first one to fall in love loses." The rewrite will contain the same plot, but with updated writing, grammar and jokes. Don't fall in love has a mere 788 words. The updated version will be more expanded with lots more imagery.
Back again (Human AU + Ship):
"After many years of hyping it up, Tom finally takes Jerry to a multi-day event in his hometown. However, he begins to get cold feet as he remembers how unwelcoming it can be." A fic that takes place over 3 days involving almost comical amounts of miscommunication that takes place in a rural farm town.
[Warning! Potential to go over word limit. If it does, I'll post second place, get the pic, then post this]
Boxes (Human AU + Ship):
"Mentally, Tom puts everyone into boxes (stereotypes). Everyone is supposed to stay in their little box and be predictable. Tom can not put Jerry into a box, and Jerry seems to be dragging Tom out of his." Tom centric. Tom trying to overcome his own mental stereotypes while also coming to the realization he might have a crush.
Instincts (Canon + Implied)
Jerry hurt his legs and they are lost together in the woods. Tom has to get them out while also fighting his prey drive/hunger that gets worse the longer they are out there.
Last Night (Canon)
Tom irreparably breaks his owner's prized heirloom. Knowing he'll be punished no matter what he does, he decides to have one last night of fun. Tom centric and mostly about the feeling of dread that comes with making a mistake and fearing the consequences.
Amnesiacat (Canon + Friends)
5+1. 5 times one of them tries to remember, and 1 time they do. One of them (still picking who. Leaning towards Jerry) gets amnesia cartoon style. The amnesiac believes their relationship mimics the first cartoon, while their relationship has evolved to what it is in the later cartoons.
[Least developed idea mentally]
Winner of poll will be the fic written. The losers may or may not be written someday depending on hyperfixation/ideas being put into other fics.
For the Tom and Jerry fics: Human = they will be human. Canon = they will be cat and mouse. Ship = 100% romantic interest. Implied = it's possible. Friends = written as friends.
