Do Not Want
- Sexual slavery, daddy/mommy kink
- Character/ship bashing
- Adultery/cheating/breakup fic (unless canon or requested)
- Underage (below 15 for Untamed, below 18 for the others)
- Modern/mundane AU

GENERAL LIKES

Story likes:
- exploration of the dynamics between characters, introspection
- slice of life moments/snapshots
- emotions flying high (hurting another welcome)
- quiet (bitter-)sweet moments
- pregnancy fic. Het and m/m mpreg, het and f/f fpreg, consensual trans pregnancies (please no body horror or medical experimentation themes for trans preg), unusual pregnancies (weird alien biology, hatching eggs, and so on), getting pregnant through magic/science mishaps, I love it all. I adore babies ever after endings but also like abortion being on the table for unwanted pregnancies.
- worldbuilding! Hit me up with all the obscure canon or your own contributions, I love all the cultures, planets, fictional sociology, all these little details that enrich a fictional world. With real-world canons, go wild with historical details if you enjoy that but please don't worry about having to write the most historically accurate fic ever
- unusual formats (examples: epistolary, 2nd person, in-universe documents or transcripts, interactive fiction, shopping lists)
- adventure, case fic
- humor/comedy, quirkiness
- ensemble fic, ensemble showing up in ship fic
- team as family
- AUs like historical, steampunk, canon divergence, other canonverse AUs, allegiance change (not so much into modern AUs of the high school/college/coffee shop flavor)
- long-term relationships (maybe 5/10 years later) and how they changed them
- emotional support, healing, recovery
- fusions and crossovers
- atmospheric writing, setting is important, strong sense of place
- unreliable or biased narrators

Character/relationship likes:
- distinction between I want you/love you and I'm going to act on it
- cute/fluffy things, awkward dorks in love
- getting together fic and established relationships are equally loved
- banter and being able to laugh together
- equal partners supporting another no matter what fate throws at them
- asexual relationships, poly relationships, non-binary genders, trans
- non-humans being truly non-human in their thinking, behavior, wants and anatomy (seriously, go wild with your aliens/robots/fantasy creatures!)
- OCs
- rule 63 (always loved, with special shoutout to rule 63 turning het ships into f/f)
- women in power, female friendship, women being supportive of another
- pillow talk afterglow cuteness with cuddling and whispering
- A/B/O, all the more so if it's unconventional or explores social dynamics (such as female alpha/male omega, non-alpha/omega pairings, dominant omegas...)
- homosexuality/gay marriage-is-accepted AU, if canon has homophobia
- arranged marriages/political marriages/marriages of convenience (learning to love another or the bitterness of never finding love no matter how hard you try - both delish!)

Dark likes:
- character death (including one half of the ship killing the other, yes please)
- bringing your partner trophies, or in general objectively horrifying or bizarre displays of affection
- Vampires, werewolves, and special love for non-Western creatures
- angst, bleak things, pessimistic views on humanity, deeply cynical tales and narratives
- unhappy/tragic endings. Grey areas, imperfect things, flawed happy endings, Pyrrhic victories
- creeping and psychological horror, Burtonesque/Vaudeville horror, "cute" horror, the horror of utter helplessness in the face of overwhelming odds, morbid and bizarre things, the horror of terrifying things being treated as normal (think WtNV-style)
- dystopian scenarios (post-apocalyptic, bad guys won, etc)
- characters being their own greatest enemy, failing again and again due to their own mistakes and character flaws, thus creating their own misery. Test of character moments failed
- doomed relationships, unhealthy relationship dynamics, being stuck in a relationship that makes you unhappy but unwilling to end it, manipulative and/or opportunistic relationships (especially if so by both parties, especially especially if they both believe themselves to be the mastermind pulling the other's strings), people who try their best but still bring out the worst in another - or just want to destroy another
- moral dilemmas, morally grey characters making questionable decisions, good characters being corrupted, grey characters failing and falling, conflicts where everyone involved is wrong
- body horror (body modification, transformation, diseases)
- possession
- self-hate/self-loathing for being attracted to the person they like/want (as long as it's not based on this person's gender, I'm rather thinking of hating yourself for desiring your enemy)

Smut likes:
- smut which delves into the characters, their relationship and their dynamics (think character study through smut/porn with feelings tags)
- couples being able to laugh or banter together in bed, fail!sex, humorous sex
- couples feeling safe and comfortable with another to let down all their guards - all the profound trust and intimacy (especially with people to whom it doesn't come easily)
- pain play
- blood play
- knife and gun play
- mind games, power play, power struggles
- wet and messy; body fluids (no watersports, please)
- rimming, ass-to-mouth
- bondage or being held/pinned tightly
- surrendering all control
- consent play
- hairplay
- xeno, all the xeno - exploration of physical differences/biology/anatomy, different needs, just all around expounding on the xeno aspect
- hatesex, angry sex, rough sex
- leaving marks, bruises (as well as characters later kinking on being marked)
- aftercare
- clothing kink (uniforms, half-dressed, dressed, focus on clothes)
- wing kink
- tentacle hair
- wanting sex but ~circumstances~ don't permit it, the tension/agony of it, dealing with the discomfort of arousal while having to function as normal
- phone sex/sexting/talking your partner to orgasm
- sex pollen (including trope inverted by agreement to put yourself under the influence)
- breath play (including but not limited to force choking)
- telepathy, empathy, use of powers, inappropriate use of the force (bonus + the struggle of keeping control over your powers)
- I'm into all kinds of robot sex - sticky, wireplay, plug-and-play, robot or alt mode, the sky's the limit!
- who tops/bottoms is up to you (including going against common fanon), if I have a preference at all it's for couples who switch as the mood strikes
- sex against walls, in unusual places, on furniture (such as desks)
- risk of discovery as an extra thrill (needing to keep quiet while someone's in the room next door, sex by the window where anyone could look up, one partner under the desk, etc)
- This list is in no way comprehensive, so feel free to ask about opt-in kinks!

For Artists

First of all, I'd like to apologize how utterly unhelpful I am when it comes to requesting for art. Art is just magic to me, and the process of creating it as incomprehensible so I find it difficult to guesstimate what is actually helpful.

I don't really have a preferred style or type of fanart. I do love funny art, feel free to be as silly as you like. I like both drawings and edits, if that helps, and I love both traditional and digital art. Portraits are always loved. I enjoy stained glass window and tarot card styles and have a fondness for medieval art.

I'm a fan of height differences, so if that applies to the couple it'd be cute. Same with highlighting other differences like different species, strikingly different body language or such. In the same vein, I enjoy changes to the style - say, characters from anime drawn in a realistic style or live-action characters as chibis.

I also love characters striking poses and couples hugging/cuddling or squabbling; as well as battles. I love the focus on clothes and hair, as well as them wielding weapons or other objects which are associated with them in canon/fanon. I love characters reimagined in AU scenarios, or as fantasy creatures or different species. I'm a total sucker for art with cute animals be they real world or in-universe creatures or random pokemon.

I'm also a sucker for pretty landscapes and architecture, and I love maps. I'd love pop culture references, like, say, a robot character dressing up for Halloween as a robot from another "fictional" canon.

I'd also adore fanart for my fics, if asking for that isn't too much.

NSFW art is very welcome, too, go wild with your kinks. I enjoy all levels of smutty art from sensual poses to full-frontal nudity.
