Dear Yuletide Writer

Thanks so much for writing something for me! I'm originally on AO3 and most other platforms. My letter has several parts: general preferences; tropes and narrative stuff I like; porn stuff I like; stuff I don't want; and fandom specific discussion and prompts. My prompts aren't meant to be prescriptive; if you have ideas for something different that fits one of my general likes, or you want to combine elements from different prompts, I'm totally open to that.

Gen is welcome but I've also indicated where I have preferred ships. I enjoy lots of genres of fic, including character studies, casefic, missing scenes, worldbuilding, and canon divergences and what-ifs. I generally prefer things to be bittersweet and maybe a bit angsty. I'm happy to receive a gift of any rating, including smut and PWP. In terms of format, I'm open to anything. I love all kinds of unusual and experimental stuff if that's your thing, including but not limited to found footage; mixed media; non-linear; vignette forms; epistolary; interactive fiction; and metafiction. I don't have any preferences for tense or POV. 

 My trope or narrative likes include:

• loyalty kink
• basically anything that focuses on issues of honour/duty and how those intersect with personal relationships
• mentor/mentee dynamics
• snark and banter
• competence
• hurt/comfort
• bathing/grooming/shaving/dressing or undressing
• brotherhood and (found) family
• pining
• (unresolved) sexual tension 
• codependence and 'us against the world'-type dynamics
• bed/tent sharing and huddling for warmth
• stoic/non-demonstrative characters showing affection in their own way
• 'desperate last stand' situations
• 'calm before the storm'-type quiet moments
• friends to lovers
• enemies to lovers
• big, dramatic, angsty betrayals and fallings-out (i.e. lovers to enemies, with or without an eventual reunion)
• lovers on opposite sides of a conflict or antagonistic characters forced to work together for a common cause
• all kinds of time travel stuff/groundhog day/loops and reincarnation
• dimensional travel and the boundaries between worlds
• heists, reverse heists, anything along those lines! The planning, the execution, played straight or subverted.
• characters meeting at the wrong time/missed connections (or generally might-have-beens and fics that are wistful in tone)
• identity porn of all kinds
• road trips as a metaphor for coming of age and relationship developments
• outsider POV
• opposites/contrasts (class differences, age differences, themes of life/death, ice/fire, faith/skepticism, permanence/ephemerality etc. etc.)
• ambiguity/grey morality

My kink/porn likes include:

• bloodplay/knifeplay
• vore
• breathplay
• biting/marking
• comeplay/facials
• rimming/felching
• oral sex of every kind
• hatesex/rough sex
• sex with plenty of kissing
• fingering and fisting
• finger sucking
• non-penetrative sex/frottage, especially intercrural
• strap-ons and sex toys
• cross-dressing
• clothed sex (esp if only one participant is clothed) and related kinks like coming in pants or on clothes
• friends with benefits
• public sex/exhibitionism/voyeurism
• body worship
• praise kink
• BDSM (particularly ropes or other bondage, blindfolds, spanking, sensation play)
• edging and denial
• xeno (including tentacles)

And finally, please do not include any of the following in the gift:

• mundane/modern/depowered AUs (ie. canon divergence is welcome; coffee shops or high schools are not)
• curtainfic 
• A/B/O dynamics
• mpreg
• watersports
• scat
• public humiliation
• "lifestyle" or 24/7 D/s
• infantilisation or age play or use of the word 'daddy' in a sexual context
• wingfic 
• graphic depictions of rape (dubcon scenes, are fine)
• graphic depictions of torture (references are fine)
• permanent death of a requested character during the story (I'm okay with deaths of background characters or reactions to canonical deaths)
