dear writer! thank you for writing me fic! i'm sure i'll love it regardless of what you do, because you're making me a thing and that's really great! also i like a whole bunch of different things, see: my bookmarks.

i have a generic letter i reuse for exchanges here which has my Do Not Wants, Please Warn Fors, stuff that's not a dealbreaker but slavoj-zizek-meme I Would Rather Not, and then a whole bunch of stuff i like. please feel free to disregard all of it except the DNWs, and i would appreciate a heads up for anything that's a PWF.

some more Generic Thoughts:
-if you want to write something set in ~These Unprecedented Times~ go for it, my one request is that we pretend that pandemic hockey is not happening and has never happened, for my sanity. feel free to write about events from this current season or last year's playoffs, just, idk. pretend COVID isn't a thing. pretend it was but we got it under control already. pretend the games were delayed until things were safe(r). whatever you wish.

-canon fic is great and cool but if you want to write an AU, please do!!! i have a whole section on my dear creator letter about it

-i have discussion of diets/exercise regimens/body maintenance/weight management/etc as a general Do Not Want and it applies especially much for hockey, particularly re: the intense scrutiny and maintenance of a particular body. obviously, Sports, so i know it comes up a lot, but i'd really appreciate you avoiding explicit details and/or discussion.

-generally i would prefer that non-famous WAGs or family members are not major characters. this isn't a hard DNW because sometimes i'm fine with it, but it's a tricky line for me to define.

-i really do not enjoy power imbalances in romantic &/ sexual relationships and would prefer to have just. none of that. sometimes i am up for subverting inherent power imbalances (eg player/captain, subject of hero worship/hero worshipper) but again, tricky line.

-i love ensemble gen, i love polycules, i love complex and interrelated networks of relationships. i love this especially in hockey with the team dynamics, so if you are moved in this direction i am WITH you.

Carter Hart/Carey Price
-soul...bond??? i just feel like it would be particularly delightful for them
-goalie nesting. i always want more goalie nesting.
-carey does roping. that is all.
-long-distance friendship/flirtationship/fuckbuddyship/relationship
-anything social media related. the mortifying ordeal of maintaining a snap streak. accidental(?) thirst trap selfies.
-sex bets.

Travis Konecny/Nolan Patrick/Ivan Provorov
-god just any of the ot3 tropes here. there's a section on the dear creator letter for it
-especially: provy and patty are fuckbuddies, then patty starts dating tk and provy assumes the hooking up will stop, but tk is cool with it so maybe not??
-oh i would also love a soulbond au where two of them are soulmates but the three of them are all dating anyway, fuck destiny.
-i'm literally always thinking about how patty and provy won a cup together when they were babies on the wheat kings. what if they had a thing in juniors that they're both totally over, except for how they aren't at all, and tk finds out when he starts dating patty and tries to get patty and provy back together.
-this is an extremely niche prompt but: au where tk is a ranger who does wildlife tours, and patty&provy are the only people who turned up for this session.
-future fic where they're vets taking care of the rookies together
-mutual tender caretaking

Philadelphia Flyers Ensemble/Philadelphia Flyers Ensemble
-this could be like, team orgies, or they're all dating each other in various combinations, or both. both would be GREAT.
-this doesn't have to include like, every single flyer. it is more the Idea of the whole team fucking &/ dating in various combinations that enchants me.
-talk to me about the Logistics. managing this many relationships is hard! is there a google calendar? is there technically a date night schedule but no one remembers to check it/only some people do? do A/B/C bicker over who gets to spend time with D and D's like, sigh, i'm gonna go hang with E, who they aren't dating (or aren't dating YET)
-just give me all the relationship negotiation basically.

Travis Konecny/Oskar Lindblom/Nolan Patrick
-powerpuff line! my heart for an actual powerpuff AU!
-once again, any ot3 trope would delight me
-especially: patty tries to help tk get with lindy while pining, and tk tries to help patty get with lindy while pining
-swords&sorcery fantasy au where they're adventurers
-future fic where they're vets taking care of the rookies together
-mutual tender caretaking

Claude Giroux/Carter Hart
-just gonna quote my letter from last year
-claude telling carter "you're not fucking mike smith out here" murder me
-claude giroux, overgrown child in charge of a team of children, only the responsible one by comparison. smirky angel-faced franchise-saviour venom-mask-wearing certer hert. chaos??? chaos.
-if you wanted to take a veteran/rookie trope and subvert it that'd be ace. if you wanted to write them as just another two players that'd be ace
-i did have a thought about a rookie/veteran kneeling au where carter doesn't get a lot out of kneeling but claude gets a lot out of someone kneeling for him, and when carter realises, it turns into like, a ~topping from the ~bottom kinda thing

Joel Farabee/Shayne Gostisbehere
-i am still goddamn thinking about that picture of ghost choking beezer out. please write me all the fic about it. a kneeling au maybe??
-ghost seems extremely soft and harmless i just feel like he and joel "young beezer" farabee would be delightful together.
-joel dogsitting / joel using ghost's dogs as a reason to keep coming over to hang out

Claude Giroux/Wayne Simmonds
-i got into the flyers after simmer was traded but i'm so emotional about them being vets on the team for so long then being cruelly separated and now simmer's playing for his hometown team and thriving and i just? don't even go here but i have a lot of feelings basically
-breakup/makeup, getting back together after years apart (maybe post retirement?)
-long-distance friendship/flirtationship/fuckbuddyship/relationship
-au where the trade never happened and they're team dads together
-they're both actual dads! i would love fic about them being actual dads together! background relationships with/appearances from their actual wives would be fine in this case.

Joel Farabee/Morgan Frost
-still not over "morgan makes me venmo him just to talk"
-still thinking about that time morgan was kneeling on the ice in front of joel and another flyer WHY didn't i save the picture
-youth pastor dj joel farabee
-would love something where joel is like, performatively horny about morgan as a joke, NOT in a homophobic way but in that way queers can have where we jokingly hit on our pals just because it's fun. at first morgan just thinks he likes the attention (again, not in an obnoxious straight dude way) BUT THEN he realises he just likes joel, who is having a similar realisation about morgan. BUT THEY BOTH THINK THE OTHER ONE STILL THINKS IT'S A JOKE!!

Carter Hart/Travis Konecny
-tk being an absolute pest to carter when he was playing against him in that scrimmage? tell me ALL about it
-equally tell me all about tk tenderly holding carter's helmet after games. they contain multitudes
-monsterfucker carter/monster travis
-oh mutual tender caretaking here too for sure
-king carter/lionheart travis

Oliver "Banksy" Banks/Carter Hart/Andrew "Knuckles" Knackstedt
-i. don't know what to say here whoops
-all you need to know is that banksy is a very zoomy goalie and knuckles is a fighty enforcer type and i simply think it would be wonderful for them to date carter hart.
-i guess it would also be useful to know that they do not actually exist irl. they play for the also fictitious team The Hometown Chinchillas, a team of gay himbo disasters, and i love them.

dear writer,

thank you for writing me fic! i'm sure i'll love it regardless of what you do, because you're making me a thing and that's really great! also i like a whole bunch of different things, see: my bookmarks.

i also have a more general letter i reuse for exchanges with likes and Do Not Wants and AUs and all that jazz. i don't mind receiving anything categorised as a Please Warn For, i would just rly appreciate a heads up before going in.

now for some thoughts on the ships i requested! i am always a slut for team ensemble gen and/or polycules and/or background relationships, so if that is where your heart lies PLEASE gimme all of that.

nico hischier/travis konecny/nolan patrick
-tk and nico hooked up at the asg and facetimed nolan about it, change my mind (this is just a statement of truth do not feel like you have to write it)
-love a straightforward triad or a V but also LOVE a complicated polyam setup. LOVE relationship negotiation
-established nico/nolan and tk/nolan, travis and nico bond/conflict over the differences in their relationship with nolan
-travis and nico start dating and nolan absolutely isn't jealous of both of them
-tk is trying to help nolan get with nico while pining and nico is trying to help nolan get with tk while pining
-tk&nolan are fuckbuddies, and tk assumes it'll stop when nolan starts dating nico, but nolan keeps hooking up with him and nico's cool with it so maybe not??

mat barzal/travis konecny
-asg shenanigans (tell me everything. or don't. whatever you're feeling)
-but also it just makes so much SENSE. they're both chatty handsy dramatic giggly weirdos who love The Boys
-mat has slutty summer holiday hangs with dante fabbro and tyson jost and i'm just saying it could be fun/agonising if mat invited tk out this summer.
-long-distance friendship/flirtationship/fuckbuddyship/relationship
-anything social media related. the mortifying ordeal of maintaining a snap streak. accidental(?) thirst trap selfies.
-sex bets.
-feel free to include as much or as little as you'd like about the isles. outside of mat i am mostly indifferent to them, though i am very charmed by tito.
-which: tk and mat bonding(/boning) over having unrequited feelings for their best friends. i'd still want it to be mat/travis endgame even if those feelings turn out to actually be mutual

ivan provorov/nolan patrick
-they knew each other as BABIES on the wheat kings?? they won a cup together????
-provy beaming in the pictures of nolan at practices: deeply hurtful to me personally.
-they're pining?? nolan thinks provy is too beautiful and not-gremliny for him and provy thinks nolan and tk are dating and is determinedly not jealous??
-(alternatively: nolan and tk ARE dating and tk keeps telling nolan that provy is into him but nolan thinks tk's full of shit) (he isn't wrong) (provy is just also into him)
-break up/make up where they had a thing in juniors and they're both telling themselves they're fine being friends and teammates now but they also definitely have Feelings
-one of my favourite favourite things is people taking care of each other. do with that what you will.

travis konecny/nolan patrick
-they're in love?? they're in love.
-would also extremely be up for queerplatonic tk/nolan
-literally anything oh my god they have ruined my life
-imagine them having to fake date each other. i might actually explode and so would they
-patty knows travis is into him, but travis isn't weird about it, so patty doesn't mind. he's definitely not obsessed with it. he just wonders, hypothetically, if tk would ever kiss him, how far nolan, hypothetically, would have to push.
-t e n d e r n e s s
-we have explored the toews thing, but have we explored the toews thing enough. in this essay i will

claude giroux/carter hart
-"you're not fucking mike smith out here" murder me
-claude giroux, overgrown child in charge of a team of children, only the responsible one by comparison. smirky angel-faced franchise-saviour venom-mask-wearing certer hert. chaos??? chaos.
-i am rly not about power differentials in general BUT if you wanted i would enjoy acknowledging the inherent power imbalance + then totally subverting it. g is a bratty sub and you cannot change my mind
-if you wanted to take a veteran/rookie trope and subvert it that'd be ace. if you wanted to write them as just another two players that'd be ace
-wacky hijinks. the flyers getting up to various nonsense with g and carter at the centre of it would absolutely thrill me.
-goalie nesting!!! there is never enough of this.
-i'm usually uncomfy with non-famous significant others as major characters HOWEVER i could definitely be here for claude and ryanne still being married and that being part of the fic. open marriages! polyamory! just no romantic and/or sexual ryanne/carter pls

back to dear creator letter

nb: i have more to say about some of the ships i requested than others but rest assured i love and desire fic for all of them incredibly much.

gabe landeskog/nate mackinnon/tyson barrie: ot3est of ot3s. they are all three of them my favourite avs because how could i choose between them. gabe, beautiful dramatic charming assholish weirdo, captain of my entire heart and also every single av's. everything about #GetGabeIn was designed to hurt me personally. nate, Determined To Do Well, Sid's My Best Friend Actually, Works Hard And Gets Results, kinda shy but with bucketloads of (earned) confidence though less than he had when he rocked up to the avs locker room at seventeen and told everyone to call him dogg (i ADORE HIM) (THAT'S THE DOGG, HE'S JUST NAUGHTY). and tyson, passionate about the lava cake, a truly genuine and sincere and lovely dude, flirting CONSTANTLY with any and everyone, an absolute disaster in front of a camera except for that time he was silent for an entire practice. god. that deserves a whole post of its own.

ANYWAY. i love the dynamics they have with each other as pairs, and the three of them work so well together as a triad!! established relationship? a+. the three of them getting together? a+. two of them are together and the other one is pining after them? a+.

ryan graves/mark barberio: i just. adore these two. big nervy giggly liar gravy and sweet chill smiley barbs!! so much potential and so little ground covered. go wild. i would not protest if you wanted to make the fiction they spun us during the match game a reality. like, that was fun, what if we actually become soulmates now? or the media team never reveals that they cheated and now they have to PRETEND!!!

to be clear anything not related to the match game would be GREAT it is just a beautiful, beautiful font of content.

tyson barrie/colin wilson: they make each other dinner and like the same music and have similar politics and ideals!!! colin is tyson's best friend on the team who isn't nate!!!!! tyson snapping to attention as soon as colin says his name still haunts me.

anything from that one article would make my entire life. i cannot stand colin wilson, kind earnest politically conscious hippy weirdo who's allergic to shirts. he was a THEATRE KID. i'm still not over it. and then there's THIS. the second picture. the fucking edward sharpe and the magnetic zeroes lyrics. i despise him.

tyson jost/mikko rantanen: there was something, last season, which i have only hazy memories of, where josty said something thirsty about mikko, and i have been enchanted ever since. and let's not forget the mile high gala where josty hit on mikko and mikko fed josty, a categorically horny move. and josty's face when he says mikko's pretty awesome, i die. AND WHAT WAS THE BET THEY HAD????

anyway: mikko's unselfconscious goofy weirdness and josty's joyful chaotic sluttiness!!!!! a perfect match. gimme.

sam girard/erik johnson: they are just SO MUCH. idk if i can say anything coherent about them. sammy g is a life-ruiner in the best way and ej clearly agrees.

general thoughts: i love the avs ensemble so much, platonically and otherwise. you cannot go wrong with an avs polycule, if you wanted to combine some of these ships or add some others. i would enjoy feasibly any of the nominated ships as background or additional ships. i am so very easy for the avs.

final note: i have discussion of diets/exercise regimens/body maintenance/weight management/etc as a general Do Not Want and it applies especially much for hockey, particularly re: the intense scrutiny and maintenance of a particular body. obviously, Sports, so i know it comes up a lot, but i'd really appreciate you avoiding explicit details and/or discussion.

some things i really like: any kind of team-based AU, very accurate/intensely researched/specifically detailed AUs, wacky hijinks, sappy romcom nonsense, really close friendships, quasiplatonic relationships, explorations of LGBTQ identities, feels about being queer, genderfuck, fake dating, soulbonding, pining, ensemble/group dynamics, casual touching, platonic bed-sharing, found families, complicated polyamory, settings that feel like characters, religious/spiritual elements, people taking care of each other, lovers to enemies to friends, backstory, character studies, plants, men doing emotional labour, supernatural stuff, robots, healing after pain, time travel, magical weirdness in otherwise mundane settings, marriage of convenience, fantasy/scifi settings, painplay, bondage/restraints, non-sexual kink, people being bad at feelings but feeling a lot anyway

my bookmarks are a really good indication of my taste.

please warn for: character death, self-harm, coming out stories involving parents, sexual assault and related trauma, homophobia in religious settings

please no: grimdark, pregnancy, focus on taking care of children, power play, cross-generational incest, discussion of diets/exercise regimens/body maintenance/weight management/etc, possessive behaviour, humiliation, misogyny/racism/homophobia/transphobia/etc in historical settings for ~accuracy, infidelity, power imbalance, characters lying about a big part of their identity or pretending to be someone else particularly to pursue a romantic relationship

the adventure zone (dust) - all

i love TAZ for many reasons, but the tone is a huge one. i love that, especially in dust, it is very emotionally harrowing while always maintaining a certain lightheartedness and whimsy and like, belief in goodness and kindness and Doing The Right Thing. and the worldbuilding!! i really like the werewolf/vampire/etc mythology here. i care deeply about dylan/jeremiah and anne/jeremiah and dylan/jeremiah/anne, ot3 of my heart. i appreciate Sad Gays as much as the next queer but I'd really like a story that's ultimately hopeful and uplifting. if you wanted to go AU and have jeremiah not die OR turn into a ghost OR some other cool weird supernatural tomfoolery i would be very into that. role reversals, also good. idk i think the only thing i wouldn't enjoy is like a straight up Anne And Jeremiah Are In Love And Dylan Is Sad About It kinda fic.

dirty computer - jane, zen, ché 

literally anything. anything!!!! i am so fascinated by the world and our heroes' place in it. here for the ot3 of course - tell me about their adventures pre/post/during the emotion picture, quiet moments in between the action, who they were before all this started, how they fell in together and fell in love, what kind of future they build together. romance!! obviously i'd enjoy them as a straightforward balanced triad, but if you wanted to complicate the setup i would be extremely into that. i love complicated polyamory!!!

to all the boys i loved before (movie) - lara jean, margot, kitty, peter

SIBLING. FEELINGS. this film absolutely devastated me with lara jean's relationship with her sisters, and i would love to know all about them! i also adore lara jean/peter and shippy fic would be great. canon is cool, but this is one fandom i would be extra into AUs for. put them in space! make peter a secret romance novel writer! send them to hogwarts! these are just a few off the top of my head, i can't picture an AU i wouldn't enjoy.

monster factory - the final pam

pam is love, pam is life. i really want something in the spirit of monster factory's absolute batshittery. crossovers? yes PLEASE. pam tearing her way through various media properties would be a gift. canon compliant stuff is good too though i'm not sure what counts as canon here?? the fallout four videos? monster factory as a whole? i really enjoy that she turns up in that one where dark souls is pizza, and the implications of her existing in this like, wider monster factory universe.

fandoms: The 100, The Adventure Zone, Star Wars (The Force Awakens and Rogue One), Killjoys.

The 100 - really not into Bellamy/Clarke or Clarke/Lexa. my favourite characters are Bellamy, Raven, Monty, Miller, Lincoln and Wells, and I'd love to hear stories about them in really any configuration. particular favourites are Bellamy/Raven and Monty/Miller, who are the closest things I have to OTPs. I also love all the minor characters of this show (hi Harper/Monroe) so if you were wanting to make podfic about them, I would LOVE that.

The Adventure Zone - I love everyone in this goddamn beautiful fantasy bar. In that vein, I would prefer ensemble stories, but I am not at all opposed to shippy fic (I ship Lup/Barry, Taako/Kravitz and Carey/Killian as hard as the next person, okay). I also ship Merle/Lucretia but idk how much of a thing that is. I would LOVE stories about Lup and Taako. I'm not opposed to Magnus/Julia, they seem cute, but it's not what my heart burns for, so.

Star Wars (The Force Awakens and Rogue One) - really into the TFA trio in any and all configurations, and literally all of the Rogue One crew. I love Bodhi Rook with my heart and soul, but again I ship Jyn/Cassian and Chirrut/Baze to hell and back (Jyn/Cassian/Bodhi is also good, but I'm not so much into Bodhi/Galen). I've put these fandoms together for convenience only obvs they're separate fandoms, but if you found like an AU where all the characters where doing fun shenanigans together, I would be 300000% up for that.

Killjoys - allllllllllllllll about Dutch/Johnny tbh, as platonic or romantic as you'd like to make them. I haven't got round to series two yet but don't let that stop you making podfic with s2 canon if you wish!

some things i really like: sappy romcom nonsense, really close friendships, quasiplatonic relationships, explorations of LGBTQ identities (especially B, T and Q), fake dating, soulbonding, pining, ensemble/group dynamics, casual touching, platonic bed-sharing, found families, complicated polyamory, settings that feel like characters, religious/spiritual elements and people taking care of each other.

some things i really don't like: infidelity, power imbalances, kidfic/pregnancy.

some things i'm okay with: incest, graphic violence, unhappy endings.

i'd appreciate being warned for: character death, self-harm, coming out stories involving parents.

it's yuletide! i'm really into all of the fandoms i requested, so i am just so excited to read whatever you write for me. but here are some pointer things if you'd like some pointer things! pointer things can be useful.

Killjoys (TV): Dutch, Johnny, Pawter, Alvis
i did not expect to love this show so much but it got me hard with johnny&dutch and team feelings and then the WORLDBUILDING and all the background characters (pree! fancy lee! delle seyah! if i had more space i would've requested them too, alas). i'm always up for AUs but i feel like this is one fandom i'd really appreciate canon fic for, it's such a brilliantly crafted universe and i want to know everything about it. particular backstories! i'm interested in all four of the characters i requested, together or apart, though ugh thinking about them being a team taking down space capitalism, especially post-series, is making me feel some things. ALTHOUGH, because i am me and what this show does with religion gets me on so many levels, i would love love love a story exploring that aspect. for any/all of them - alvis is pain space jesus and that's really cool and i want all the stories about that, but also the scenes with johnny not-a-true-believer jaqobis killed me, and i'd just be really interested in seeing more of the characters' spirituality/lack thereof.

one note: i don't really care about romo dutch/d'avin, which is a lot why i didn't request him, but i'll live if it's not the point of the story. i really love the team dynamic, though, and i die anew every time i think about how much johnny and dutch care about each other (IF YOU WANNA RUN I CALL SHOTGUN) so that. i would not at all be opposed to romo dutch/johnny! always a slut for best friends to lovers, etc, but dutch&johnny in any kind of relationship is everything i want. other things that could be cool, ship wise: johnny/pawter, dutch/alvis, pawter/alvis, dutch/johnny/alvis, dutch/johnny/pawter, dutch/johnny/pawter/alvis????? i'm up for anything, honestly, the only notp i really have is dutch/khylen.

Mr Robot: Angela, Darlene, Trenton, Shayla
FEMMESLASH, BASICALLY. femmeslash is what i want. i mean elliot means a lot to me and as a CS student i really enjoy all the tech stuff, but i am pretty much here for the ladies on this one. i'd be cool with basically any permutation, shippy or friendshippy, but i'm pretty fond of trenton/darlene and angela/shayla and angela/darlene. angela/darlene/trenton V centred on darlene???? OT4, DARE I DREAM??????

so yeah, pretty much anything with these characters will make me swoon, but i guess some prompts ideas: tell me all the stories about trenton! secret favourite character alert, hi. what's her relationship with her parents like? what does she do outside of fsociety? how did she get into hacking? general backstory stuff! i love general backstory stuff. did angela and shayla hang out more often than that one beautiful amazing horrendous time they kissed? how did their relationship progress after shayla totally didn't die? (side note: if you already wanted to write elliot, i would not be at all opposed to angela/shayla/elliot.) were angela and darlene as close as angela and elliot growing up? what do they do besides caring about elliot's wellbeing together?

Call Me Katie (Webseries): Bianca, Katie, George Bates, George Gleeson
THE WEBSERIES OF MY HEART, OH GOD. i love pretty much everyone on the show, but these four are my favourite, and anything about them will make me THE HAPPIEST. george squared for life, obviously, but also all of their friendships make me so happy. bianca and katie's tense brittle loving sisterhood means a lot to me, and i'd love to see more about their relationship, either post, pre or during the series. (also, bianca is bi, you can fight me on this but why would you. (KIDDING if you view her otherwise that is obviously valid and i'd love to see any story exploring her sexuality, but also bi bianca.))

i love how the episodes are constructed, and how the plot steadily progresses, but so much (of course, it's a webseries) happens offscreen, and i'd love to see all the ~missing scenes in fic form, if you wanted to do something like that. one thing i'm really sad we didn't get to see was bates and gleeson's fight about labels because it's a thing that's really close to my heart and i maybe overidentify with bates just the tiniest bit. that aside, one really cool post i saw somewhere on tumblr (i will try and find it for attribution when i get time!) was like, what if katie fake-dated bates instead of peter? and i've just been thinking about that a lot. but that's a really specific prompt you should absolutely feel no pressure to write, of course!

Nothing Much to Do: Beatrice, Peter, Balthazar
i'm still so fond of this webseries! i've been wavering between enjoying and not enjoying lovely little losers, but i still love all the characters so i'm pretty much stuck here. BUT ANYWAY. beatrice and peter are my absolute favourites, i love their friendship so much, and i always want much ado adaptations to do more with it (the bad as well as the good). if you want to include lll stuff, that's cool, but equally no pressure if you've not been watching it or want to pretend it doesn't exist. i just really want fic about beatrice&peter! beatrice/peter is also good, but fundamentally i am interested in their dynamic and how it shifts with her knowing he's into her, and his ensuing bitterness, and his betrayal re: hero, and the subsequent repairing of their relationship. also: peter's coming out story, i want it and fear it in equal measures. see, again, overidentifying with canon multisexuals (particularly with recent lll events, wow).

also also i am really fond of balthazar, and i will ship peter/balth til the cows come home, so if that's where you want to go i'd be cool with that! balthazar and peter's friendship is also really important to me, though, and balthazar utterly failing at having a crush on his best friend and only being able to communicate his emotions either passive-aggressively or through the medium of song and peter caring about balth so much and failing to notice his ginormous crush is HORRIBLE and everything i secretly want.

note: not opposed to beatrice/benedick, i ship it in theory, but benedick/character growth is an important stepping stone for it for me, and i'd much rather he exist far in the background if he's necessary at all.

some things i really like: sappy romcom nonsense, really close platonic friendships, every flavour of modern/futuristic AU (preferably preserving canon character dynamics), feels about being queer, fake dating, soulbonding, pining, ensemble/group dynamics, casual touching, platonic bed-sharing, found families, complicated polyamory, settings that feel like characters, religious/spiritual elements, people taking care of each other.

some things i really don't like: infidelity, power imbalances, kidfic/pregnancy.

some things i'm okay with: incest, graphic violence, unhappy endings.

i'd appreciate being warned for: character death, self-harm, coming out stories involving parents (but really, i love coming out stories, so don't be put off if that's something you want to do).

it's that time of year again! this year I requested Fingerprints by Melinda Metz, My Mad Fat Diary (the TV show), Alif the Unseen by G Willow Wilson and Peaky Blinders. I am EXCITED. these fandoms are all very dear to me and I would be happy with pretty much any fic you wanted to write, just so you know. <3
