Dear Tag Exchange writer,
Thank you so much for writing for me!
If you'd like to stalk me during Tag Exchange or want to ask me a question/for clarification, I mainly hang around
tumblr and
AO3 these days. On my AO3 you can see the fics I've
bookmarked if that helps give you ideas or in figuring out the things I like, or you can check out
my fic rec masterlist (still in progress) that may be easier to maneuver.
All of this is totally optional, but I know a lot of the time it helps to have some direction to go in, so I've included some likes, dislikes, prompts, and squee for your inspiration. Include whatever you like or none if nothing I mention suits your fancy! Go wild!
General
Tbh, I'm really easy. I will read pretty much anything and my likes run the gammut from "totally normal" to "rare and kind of bizarre" to "probably squicks a lot of people." So whatever you can come up with, chances are good that I'll like it! I'm good with any ratings and I'm caught up on everything, so no need to worry about spoilers.
Likes
fluff, AUs (coffee shop, college, high school, supernatural creatures, thieves/con artists, whatever ya got I'll probably love it), smut, pining, fake/pretend relationships, antagonistic relationships that turn into love, intelligent characters (intelligence kink, language kink, competency kink, etc), kid fic (them as kids or them having kids, mpreg is ok too!), characters suddenly realizing they've been in love all along, domesticity/family, A/B/O verse, communication by snark, BDSM (especially aftercare), codependent friendships, get togethers/first times, soulmates, adoptive parent-child relationships, queer/trans/genderqueer/etc. characters
Dislikes
major character death, 1st and 2nd person POV, crossovers (fusions with Harry Potter or The Sentinel or Leverage or something like that are fine, I'm just not a huge fan of the meeting the other characters thing), cancer fic, zombies, body horror, abuse in main pairings, infidelity
Requests
I'll try not to put particular emphasis on any of them as I'd love to get fic for whatever you feel most comfortable writing, so how much description or squeeing I do has no bearing on how much I want that fandom or ship! For any of these, feel free to add in other characters into the background/side pairings as you like.
Harry Potter - Voldemort/Harry Potter, Dudley Dursley/Harry Potter, Fenrir Greyback/Harry Potter, Pansy Parkinson, Dudley Dursley, Ginny Weasley
Telepathy, Worldbuilding, Pining, Size Kink, Soul Bond, Soulmates, Accidental Soulbonding, Gangbang, Monsters, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Alternate Universe - Coffee Shops & Cafés, Obsession, Secret Relationship, Tattoos, Enemies to Lovers, Oviposition, Woke Up Married, Watersports, Werewolves, Ghosts
This fandom will probably always be one of my favorites and I just really love the characters and the world. Voldemort/Harry is my OTP and Dudley/Harry and Fenrir/Harry are two of my top HP ships. I love how much they'd have to work to get to a point of romance and/or sex because of their histories or sides on the war. Pansy has been really fascinating to me lately because we don't see much about her and she's kind of looked down on in both the books and the fandom. Dudley is one of my favorite characters because he has so much potential for change and he's at a really interest point between the muggle and wizarding worlds, re: being Harry's cousin and word of god having a witch daughter. I'm really interested in how Ginny dealt with things after being possessed by the diary because she didn't seem to have many friends at Hogwarts and even Harry seemed to have forgotten about it. For any of the three individual characters, feel free to put them in ships if you like. I'm fond of Ginny/Weasleys, Ginny/Draco, Ginny/Blaise, Ginny/Voldemort, Ginny/Harry/Voldemort, Pansy/Lavender, and Pansy/Draco, but feel free to do something else if you like. Just please no Ginny/Harry. I'd also be interested in fic that explores the world more, like the differences between the muggle and wizarding worlds, life at Hogwarts, the wizarding world outside of Hogwarts (like what they do once they've graduated), rebuilding the British wizarding world after the war, etc. Anything before, during, or after canon would be great, as well as AUs (I'm especially fond of dark!Harry and dark!Ginny).
Prompts: Dudley and Harry meet again years later and realize they're compatible (a/b/o). Pansy meets her soulmate in a muggle coffee shop. Ginny wanders too far into the Forbidden Forest and ends up confronting a monster (maybe with gangbang or oviposition).
Leverage - Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer
Pining, Alternate Universe - Coffee Shops & Cafés, Alternate Universe - Restaurant, Spies & Secret Agents, Tattoos, Road Trips, Undercover as a Couple, Woke Up Married, Alternate Universe - Serial Killers, Alternate Universe- Supernatural Creatures, Fairy Tale Elements, Getting Together, Ghosts, Friends to Lovers, Porn With Plot, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Alternate Universe - College/University, Alternate Universe - Hogwarts, Alternate Universe - Merpeople, Domestic Fluff
Everything about this ship is fantastic and it makes it even better that it's canon. Hardison is my favorite character, but I love all three of them and the relationships between them all are so great. I love that Eliot tries to be so standoffish but cares so much and that Hardison is so geeky and that Parker is so clueless about social cues sometimes. I'd be happy with anything for them, getting together or established relationship or inviting the third in, though I'm especially fond of the three of them being domestic and all the pitfalls of a relationship with three very different and very stubborn people.
Prompts: The three of them meet in college and quickly become the terror of their shared class. They explore each others' tattoos and maybe get some new ones. Hardison and Eliot have to go undercover as a couple for a job, much to Parker's amusement.
The Losers - Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez/Jake Jensen
Pining, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Alternate Universe - Coffee Shops & Cafés, Oblivious to Relationship, Domestic Fluff, Tattoos, Road Trips, Werewolves, Undercover as a Couple, Woke Up Married, Alternate Universe - Serial Killers, Alternate Universe- Supernatural Creatures, Fairy Tale Elements, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Getting Together, Ghosts, Friends to Lovers, Alternate Universe - College/University, Arranged Marriage, Cryptozoology and Cryptobotany
One of my favorite movies! I really love Cougar and Jensen's relationship and how close they are even as friends. Cougar is my favorite, but Jensen is hilarious and I love his snark and how he interacts with Cougar even when Cougar doesn't really say anything. Before, during, or after the movie would all be interesting to look at, but I think it would be especially interesting to see the beginning of their relationship and how it develops. I like the rest of the team and would totally be ok with seeing how they interpret or react to Jensen and Cougar's relationship. I can see a lot of pining in this relationship, from either side, and I think exploring their ability to communicate so well while also not communicating about emotions would be a really great way to go.
Prompts: One of them didn't go into the military but they still somehow meet up in a coffee shop. The two of them moving in with each other after the movie canon and not realizing they're already practically a couple until someone (maybe Jensen's sister or neice?) mentions it. Jensen is a cryptozoologist who hires Cougar for protection on a trip to a foreign country.
Mad Max - Capable/Nux, Capable
Pining, Alternate Universe - BDSM, Alternate Universe - Coffee Shops & Cafés, Non-Traditional Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Tattoos, Road Trips, Werewolves, Worldbuilding, Alternate Universe - Serial Killers, Alternate Universe- Supernatural Creatures, Enemies to Lovers, Fairy Tale Elements, Getting Together, Ghosts, Prostitute Character, Arranged Marriage, Cryptozoology and Cryptobotany, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Alternate Universe - College/University, Alternate Universe - Merpeople
Despite my love of explosions, I wasn't expecting to like this move as much as I did. But explosions and kick ass women and anti-capitalism, how could I not end up loving it! I especially loved Capable. She is kickass and beautiful and sweet and I really enjoyed her relationship with the other wives and Furiosa and Max and especially Nux. They were just simply adorable together! I'd especially love some sort of AU for this (especially with Nux not dying), but feel free to stick closer to canon if you like. Besides Capable and Nuxable, I'm also really interested in the the worldbuilding, so I'd also really like to see something about that. There was just so much packed into the movie and yet so much more to explore!
Prompts: College AU where Capable is a women's studies major and Nux ends up taking a class with her to fulfill a requirement. Nux goes to the same coffee shop every day just to pine over the beautiful barista. Nux is an omega who drifts through life until he finds the perfect alpha in Capable.
MCU - Pepper Potts, Clint Barton, Maria Hill, Jasper Sitwell , Natasha Romanov/Nick Fury
Alternate Universe- Supernatural Creatures, Woke Up Married, Werewolves, Tattoos, Monsters, Pining, Alternate Universe - BDSM, Addiction/Withdrawal, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Aliens Made Them Do It, Alternate Universe - Coffee Shops & Cafés, Alternate Universe - Restaurant, Secret Relationship, Size Kink, Spies & Secret Agents, Road Trips, Vampires, Tentacles, Undercover as a Couple, Alternate Universe - Serial Killers
This fandom frustrates me to no end sometimes, but I still love many of the characters. Clint is my favorite Avenger and Natasha/Fury is favorite ship for the fandom. Pepper is one of my favorites because I would just love to be like her. She's an amazing business woman and beautiful and sometimes kicks ass and somehow puts up with all of Tony's shit. I also really like her friendships with Coulson and Natasha. I adore Jasper (and his friendship with Coulson) and hate that they tried to make him Hydra because that is so wrong on so many levels. So please please no Hydra!Jasper! Triple agent is fine, but I want him loyal to SHIELD (as he should be). Maria is just all around great because she can take charge and kick ass and is so calm about it. I'm not fond of AoU, but I'll be happy with fic set before/during/after/between any movie or the tv shows, as well as AUs. For the individual characters, feel free to put them in ships if you like. I like Laura/Clint, Pepper/Tony, Pepper/Rhodey/Tony, Jasper/Fury, Maria/Jasper, Maria/Pepper/Natasha (any combo), Maria/Rhodey, Sam/Maria, Clint/Coulson/Fury, Natasha/Clint/Coulson, and Natasha/Clint/Coulson/Fury, but please no Natasha/Clint.
Prompts: Natasha and Nick wake up married after a mission gone sideways. Jasper goes on a road trip to try the best diners in the US. Pepper gets addicted to pain meds after the surgery to remove the Extremis.
Original - Alien/Human, Female Astronaut/Female Alien, Female Hacker/Female Cyber Crimes Detective, Female Knight/Female Princess, Female Scientist/Female Fortune Teller, Female Thief/Female Rival Thief, Military Guy/Military Guy, Moon Priestess/Sun Priestess, Queen/Female Military Commander, Swordsmistress Grandmother & Swordsmistress Granddaughter, Warlord Prince Brother/Sorcerer Prince Brother, Warrior Queen Mother & Warrior Princess Daughter, Witch Aunt & Witch Niece, Witch/Mermaid
Accidental Soulbonding, Monsters, Pining, Secret Relationship, Ghosts, Aliens Made Them Do It, Size Kink, Soul Bond, Soulmates, Spies & Secret Agents, spirits and demons, Tattoos, Telepathy, Fairy Tale Elements, Vampires, Watersports, Werewolves, Tentacles, Worldbuilding, Enemies to Lovers
I don't have a lot to say about this one other than I thought these groups were really interesting and I'd love to see what someone could do with them and the tags I chose. Generally, I really like character driven stuff with great worldbuilding. I'm especially interested in the more fantasy type groups and it would be great to see something fantasy, paranormal, or fairy tale-esque. I do absolutely adore mermaids and there's really no way to go wrong with witches. I also am really interested in platonic parent-child relationships, especially adopted/foster ones.
Prompts: The Witch Aunt teachers her Witch Niece how to summon/control spirits and demons. The Female Princess is saved from a monster attack by the Female Knight she's been pining over. The Military Guys are enemies from different countries but discover they're soulmates.
Star Trek: AOS - James T. Kirk/Spock, James T. Kirk & Winona Kirk, Amanda Grayson & Spock, Gaila, Winona Kirk
Pining, Alternate Universe - Coffee Shops & Cafés, Non-Human Genitalia, Oviposition, Size Kink, Accidental Soulbonding, Soul Bond, Mpreg, Aliens Made Them Do It, Family, Tattoos, Telepathy, Road Trips, Watersports, Tentacles, Undercover as a Couple, Woke Up Married, Worldbuilding, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Ghosts
I've watched Star Trek 2009 probably more than a dozen times and I still hope every time that Gaila will somehow survive. I thought she was a really interesting character and we really didn't get to see enough of her or learn much about her. I'd love to see something about how she got to Starfleet or her friendship with Nyota or her relationship with Jim. I hadn't thought much about Winona, but I've been wondering where she was during the movies. We see her at the beginning, but not again, and I'd really love to see something about what she was doing all that time and what her relationship with Jim is like. Similar with Amanda, we barely get to see her and we only know about her relationship with Spock from his side. I really like how Kirk and Spock's relationship changes so much from when they first meet. Kirk pining after Spock due to the mind meld with Spock Prime is always nice, but it would be interesting to see other ways of them getting together or them already together. One of my guilty pleasures is imaging weird alien genitalia for Spock, so something about that would be fantastic, especially if you could work in one of the other related tags as well. K/S is my only real ship for the movie, so if you'd like to put Gaila or Winona in a ship, I'm up for anything!
Prompts: Gaila takes a road trip with her friends from the Academy. Winona mends her relationship with Jim after he returns from the destruction of Vulcan. Spock and Kirk meet at a coffee shop.
Stargate Atlantis - John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, John Sheppard & Todd, John Sheppard & Rodney McKay & Todd
Pining, Alternate Universe - Coffee Shops & Cafés, Oblivious to Relationship, Secret Relationship, Size Kink, Soul Bond, Spies & Secret Agents, Accidental Soulbonding, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Aliens Made Them Do It, Tattoos, Telepathy, Road Trips, Watersports, Friends to Lovers, Undercover as a Couple, Woke Up Married, Worldbuilding, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Ghosts
I love this show mostly for John and Rodney's relationship, although Atlantis and Pegasus galaxy are both fascinating as well. John is my favorite because he's so ridiculously emotionally constipated and self-sacrificing, and being a dorky flyboy doesn't hurt either. I love how codependent he and Rodney are and how well they work together. In canon I definitely see John pining after an oblivious Rodney. I'm also really fond of Todd for some reason and I really like his interactions with John. It's probably the snark, which is basically one of my favorite things ever for any character. I'd really love something post-canon or AU for this, but I'd be perfectly happy with something before or during canon as well. Exploring Pegasus and meeting more cultures (or aliens!) would be great.
Prompts: John and Rodney pretend to be in a relationship when they go to a planet that will only deal with married couples. When Todd returns John's life force, he accidentally creates a telepathic connection between them. John is a barista at a coffee shop near Rodney's school/work and pines away at an oblivious Rodney.
Young Justice - Kaldur'ahm/Roy Harper, Roy Harper/Wally West, Lian Harper & Roy Harper, Roy Harper
Addiction/Withdrawal, Pining, Aliens Made Them Do It, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Alternate Universe - Coffee Shops & Cafés, Alternate Universe - College/University, Secret Relationship, Size Kink, Tattoos, Oviposition, Road Trips, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Non-Human Genitalia, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Getting Together, Ghosts, Friends to Lovers, Porn With Plot, Prostitute Character, Arranged Marriage
I'm so sad this show got cancelled before I got into it. It was so so good and I absolutely loved Roy in it. He's so adorable and broken and angry, whether original!Roy or clone!Roy, and I just want to see so much more of him. Roy/Wally is my OTP for the fandom, but I really enjoy Roy's relationship with Kaldur as well. I just love seeing Roy with someone who tempers him a little (I like Cheshire, but the two of them together are a dangerous combo) and helps break through his angry, listens-to-no-one exterior. I'd also really be interested in seeing more of Roy with Lian because she's adorable and we really didn't get to see much of them interacting in the show. I think he could be a great dad if he tried, and I definitely wouldn't be opposed to him raising her alongside Wally or Kaldur. As with Spock, I'm also kind of fascinated by the idea of Kaldur, an Atlantian, having weird genitalia, so feel free to experiment with that if you like. Wally's "death" in s2 killed me, so a fix-it if he's included would be wonderful.
Prompts: Wally or Kaldur helps Roy through his addiction. Roy has a crush on the barista at the coffee shop near his apartment. Roy takes Lian on a road trip as a way to bond with her.
