Dear Yuletide Author: 2022 Edition
Thank you, whoever ends up writing for me. I'm sure I'll love whatever you create. I've listed some favorite tropes/kinks and prompts below. No worries if you're not a slash fan. I've put the general prompts first so just skip over anything that's not your cup of tea. This is by no means meant to be a "use everything" list, but more for picking anything (or nothing) that inspires your plot bunnies.
General Likes/Dislikes
I like:
kidnapping/bodyguard scenarios, hurt/comfort, domesticity and found-family, happy endings, snark, banter, witty dialogue, teasing, panic attacks/PTSD/anxiety and recovery, mysteries, fish out of water/diplomat in a strange land, stranded together, sickfic and general taking care of each other scenarios
I do not like:
Drug use, character death, cancer/terminal illness, dark fic, unhappy endings, genderswap, crackfic, character bashing, body horror, slavery
Ship-Related Likes/Dislikes
In terms of general tastes that apply to any ship listed below, I am the kind of trashpanda that likes:
getting together, meet-cutes and meet-uglies, mutual pining, soulmate au, A/B/O and mpreg, porn with plot, porn without plot, explicit sexual content, friends with benefits, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, threesomes/moresomes, arranged marriage, May/December, fake dating, courtship/mating rituals
General kinks that are fun in fic:
Accidental Stimulation, Anonymous Sex, Aphrodisiacs, Blindness, Exhibitionism, Gags, Immobilization, Ass-play, Beards/Stubble, Deep-throating, Finger-fucking, Multiple orgasms, Oral fixation, Pillow biting, Attention/Praise, Begging, Confessions, First Time, Endearments, Flirting, Gentleness, Possessiveness, Protectiveness, Voyeurism, Spanking, Rimming, Edgeplay, orgasm control/denial, coming untouched, Embarrassed about wanting to submit, Careful Sex Because Partner Is Bruised, Manhandling/Shows of Athleticism During Sex
Kinks I absolutely do not want:
scat/watersports, knifeplay/bloodplay, infantilism/littles, feeding/stuffing, inflation, omorashi/golden shower, muscle kink, enemas, pet play, gore/vore, lactation
Die Hard (movies) - John/Matt
I'm a fan of John/Matt or for non-slash, general John and Matt (and others) teaming up to take down the bad guy of the day.
AU ideas: superhero au, supernatural au, tie ins with Marvel and Teen Wolf are cool
Favorite tropes: BAMF couple, friends to lovers, domesticity and curtain fic, kidnapping/bodyguard scenarios
I'm open to pretty much anything here (as long as there's a happy ending). I like seeing John and Matt pick up the pieces of their lives after the firesale. I adore stories where they have to move in together for some reason, or where John rescues Matt from some new crisis, or Matt bringing John up to speed on the digital age.
Do not want: terminal illness, dark fic, dubcon/noncon, drug use
The Following - Mike Weston
Mike's my favorite character in the show. (Really, I just love the majority of the roles the Ashmore twins play.)
If you want to go gen, casefic or Mike helping Ryan hunt down serial killers would be great too.
Of the side characters, my favorites are Joe Carroll, Paul/Jacob/Emma, Roderick, Luke and Mark.
If M/M's your thing, I have no real pairing preference so Mike shipped with anyone is cool with me.
Likes: bottom!Mike, hurt/comfort, kidnapping/bodyguard scenarios, protectiveness/possessiveness, enemies to lovers, casefic, road trips
Do not want: terminal illness, major dismemberment/disfigurement, major character death (outside of canon)
Monster Prom - Damien LaVey, Oz/Yellow
I'm a fan of Damien/Oz though any M/M pairing will make me happy. I'd love to see more with Damien's dads or anything of Oz's backstory. When I play, I usually end up getting Damien to go to prom by making him fight me or doing the nasty in the bathroom.
Likes: bottom!Oz, enemies to lovers, road trips/camping, domesticity/found family, soulmates, sneaking around, didn't know they were dating, idiots in love, mutual pining, teasing/banter
Do not want: terminal illness, major dismemberment/disfigurement, major character death, drug use, darkfic
