Hello dear author! Thanks for offering one or more of my fandoms. Below are lists of my general likes and Do Not Wants, but I also wanted to note a couple things.

I ask a lot of questions in my prompts, but this is not a school essay; you don’t have to answer them! The questions I pose are just thoughts I have about canon or character interactions, a guide for what I might want to see in a work or how you can think about what you want to create.

I am always okay with non-requested characters making appearances as long as they don’t become the focus of the work.

Smut is welcome, as long as it’s consensual. I usually like a bit of build up before getting into the action (e.g. clothes are on in the opening paragraphs). Polyamory/threesomes/moresomes are also welcome! You are welcome to look at the bookmarks in my AO3 profile to get a better idea of what I like.

Please remember that optional details are optional! It’s always a joy to be given a gift of any kind. If there’s something you’re unsure about, you can always contact the mods to get clarification.

General likes (in no particular order):

• Reincarnation/past lives: I love when people are so destined for each other that they keep meeting in every lifetime
• Soulmates: marks (like names, first/last words, where they’re first touched by each other), seeing colors (gray scale to full color, seeing every color except their soulmates eyes until they meet), or any other fun concept
• In-universe crossovers: characters that have never met in canon randomly meeting without knowing how they’re connected (like waiting next to each other in line somewhere, or sitting next to each other on the bus)
• Character A calling character B by their first name in a stressful/intimate moment when normally A would use B’s last name or title
• Epistolary/multimedia
• Character A doing something that makes character B’s heart swell and think “oh my god I love them”
• Secret relationships and/or established relationships
• Character A has trouble sleeping and can only get a good night’s sleep when they share a bed with character B
• Snowed in/sharing a bed
• Ferris wheel dates/confessions

Do Not Wants (also in no particular order):

• Unhappy/tragic/hopeless endings
• Permanent break-ups (of relationships or friendships)
• Rape/non-con
• Incest (including adopted relatives and step-relatives)
• Daddy kink, pet play, dom-sub lifestyle dynamics, slavery
• De-aging/age regression
• Kidfic, meaning characters having children or becoming children (Canonical child characters are okay)
• Non-canonical major character death (characters who are dead/die in canon are okay, as are random background characters/OC)
• Pet death
• Extreme graphic violence
• Pregnancy/mpreg
• Texting/chatfics (occasional short text conversations are fine but I do not want the entire body of work to be just texting)
• First person POV

On to the requests! These are not listed in order of preference. Also, the “additional comments” are just there in case I think of anything to add once sign-ups are closed.


Request 1: Scavengers Reign

• Characters: Azi Nareen, Levi, Ursula, Mia
• Request: Firstly, women.
  
  Secondly, the actual request. What an incredible show, and what incredible characters. I love the tension and curiosity of Azi and Levi's relationship. The transition from seeing Levi as a (somewhat annoying) tool to a companion and friend. Possibly more? And that scene where Azi is poking around in Levi's body... wow. Being inside the deepest part of someone you intentionally hold at arms length, and trusting someone to poke around inside of you, your most vulnerable parts, in such a dangerous environment. What would happen if Azi let herself be as open and vulnerable as Levi is?
  
  Additionally, I think it would be so interesting for Ursula to see how Levi has grown and become a unique organic/synthetic lifeform. She's a horticulturist, so what does she think of that yellow goo? How would Levi react to being studied so closely and trying to be understood completely? Could scientific interest develop into something more?
  
  Lastly, I think it would be sweet to see how Azi and Mia interact after the ship lands and the colony is established. Do they still have that spark? Would Levi be jealous of Mia? Would Mia notice if Azi is different now than their first encounter?

Request 2: Skip to Loafer

• Characters: Iwakura Mitsumi, Nao-chan, Murashige Yuzuki, Kurume Makoto
• Request: For this request specifically, DNW manga spoilers or NSFW.
  
  Feel free to include the rest of the cast/any nominated characters! This show is so sweet and I love all the characters and their friendships.
  
  I love Mitsumi and Nao-chan's relationship. Mitsumi doesn't see Nao-chan as anyone but herself, and I'm sure having that unconditional love in her life is so good for Nao-chan. I'd love to see them just living life together, maybe Nao-chan shows Mitsumi something weird about the city? Or they go out shopping together, get manicures, whatever you'd like!
  
  I love the four girls too (Mika got cut for the character limit... sorry girl, feel free to include her!). It's so nice to see them getting along and liking each other so much despite what you'd think would be natural differences. I think it would be interesting for one of them to have a problem that the other three can't really understand or help with, but see them try anyways. If you also want to split down into just Yuzuki and Makoto (going on a movie date?) that would be fun too!
  
  If you also want to include some interactions between Nao-chan and the girls (or just Mika) I'd be happy to see that too!

Request 3: Mahou Tsukai no Yome | The Ancient Magus Bride

• Characters: Hatori Chise, Elias Ainsworth, Lucy Webster, Philomela Sargant
• Request: For this request specifically, DNW manga spoilers.
  
  The second season of this show was so fun. I loved seeing Chise in an environment where she can make friends that enjoy her company and love what she was hated and rejected for as a child. I also love how she sees some of her younger self in Philomela. Any sweet interactions between the two of them, especially Chise providing comfort and unconditional friendship, would be wonderful.
  
  Lucy is so righteous (and a little tsundere), and I think that makes it all the more cute when she treats Philomela and Chise with kindness, and it would be nice for the two of them to do the same for Lucy and give her the opportunity to let down her walls and feel her feelings, and have some fun!
  
  Lastly, I have always loved Chise and Elias' relationship. It's very fun that he's teaching at the college and she's a student taking classes. Being near to each other, but also independently doing their own thing, checking in, making eye contact across the room and smiling at each other's presence. It would be nice to see them spend some time together in the college, or going out on a date in the city, something romantic and fun!
