First of all, thank you so much for creating something for me! Whatever you choose to do, I would be most excited to receive something *you* enjoyed making, because that's when the good stuff happens.
Honestly, I am not picky. Just give me a happy ending, preferably with the main pairing or threesome being happily in love, on their way to a happily ever after under whatever circumstances. I don't mind dark times on the way there, but I do like my endings to be on the up side. Any rating is fine.
Wildly diverse things I happen to enjoy:
Tropes, tropes, tropes! Woke up married, fake dating, undercover in a gay bar, dating without knowing it, forced to share close quarters, everyone else thinks they're a couple, matchmaking, etc
RayK being awesome at his job
Holiday stories that are cuddly and warm, especially about family, be it biological or created
Movie fusions
AUs
Harlequin-style romantic plots
Accidents of fate that make it seem the pairing/threesome is meant to be
Whimsy
Magical realism
Humor
Kidfic
Multi-media stories
Nonlinear narratives
Space / science fiction
Ensemble work / Good use of the secondary and tertiary characters from the series (I am particularly fond of Diefenbaker, Elaine, Frannie, Welsh, RayK's parents, Jill and Denny Scarpa)
Loyalty
Yearning
Stories set post-CoTW
Some things I'd prefer not to read:
Mpreg
Rape, non-con or dub-con
Cutting or other kinds of self-harm
Misogyny
Humiliation
Unequal power balance in romantic pairings
Jealousy or possessiveness
Character death
Character bashing
Hope this was helpful! Feel free to pick something that sparks your imagination or ignore it all; the truth is if you enjoy creating it, I will definitely be thrilled with my gift.
Thanks again!
