Dear Not Prime Time Player,
Thank you so much for writing for me!
If you'd like to stalk me during the exchange or want to ask me a question/for clarification, I mainly hang around
tumblr besides here. 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. And always feel free to ask if you have questions or want me to expand on anything!
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! I'm good with any ratings and I'm caught up on everything (except White Collar, but I will likely be caught up by reveals), so no need to worry about spoilers.
Likes and Dislikes
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! If it's something not listed under dislikes, then feel free to give it a try if you like, even if it's not one of my specific likes. Which I kind of go on about, sorry not sorry...

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 any of them! I noted my preferred ships, but I am perfectly happy with gen or ship fic. Or if you have another ship for any of the characters that isn't in my DNWs, please try and convince me! For any of these fandoms, feel free to add in other characters into the background/side pairings as you like :)
Agents of SHIELD
Nick Fury, Melinda May, Jasper Sitwell, Maria Hill
This show (and fandom) frustrates me a lot, but I still love several of the characters and ships. Nick is a really underrated character imo. He's a fantastic leader and worked really hard to get SHIELD where it was and then keep what bits of it together that he could. Nick/Natasha is my favorite Marvel ship. I love how obviously close they are even though you'd think they wouldn't be just bc of the kinds of ppl they are and Natasha's background. Nick's relationship with Phil, either platonic or romantic, is so great as well. I'd love some background on their relationship, like how they met or how they came to trust each other so much. Something about what Nick's been doing since the last time we saw him on the show would be fantastic as well. Melinda is a great character and I really enjoy the conflict between her emotions and what she feels is her duty. I love her and Skye's kind of mother-daughter relationship if you want to focus on that. My top AOS ship is Melinda/Victoria, so something with her and Victoria being friends or lovers while they work their way up the chain at SHIELD would be great, or even something before that like at the SHIELD academy or when they decided to become agents. I adore Jasper and I hate that they tried to make him Hydra because that is so wrong on so many levels. I love his friendship with Coulson and I think he probably knew Maria, Fury, Clint, and Natasha pretty well so it would be great to see something about his relationship with any of them. Maria is just all around great because she can take charge and kick ass and is so calm about it. Her friendship with Pepper is great and I'd love to see her as firends with Melinda as well. It would be great to explore her relationship with Nick more since we don't see much of it, but they have to have known each other for quite awhile and have a great deal of trust in one another.

Jasper goes on a road trip to try the best diners in the US. Leverage or Librarians style AU.
Daredevil (TV)
Karen Page, James Wesley, Frank Castle, Vanessa Marianna Fisk
I really didn't expect to enjoyed this show as much as I did, or to become so invested in some of the characters. I absolutely loved Wesley and Vanessa. Wesley was so loyal and I'm so interested in seeing how he became so close to Fisk. Has he been with Fisk for long and how did he become Fisk's right hand man? Fisk/Wesley was almost immediately my primary ship for the show because the dynamic is just so much everything I love. I've recently seen stuff about Francis/Wesley so I'd just like to see more of that since we barely see any interaction between them. Vanessa was so beautiful and confident and she was basically the perfect mob wife right from the start, and I think that's just so fascinating. I'd love to see more of how she got to be that kind of person. Something about her past would be fantastic, or her future with Fisk and all the drama to come. They make a strange but compelling pair, even more so with Wesley added in. I'm also very curious about what she was doing during s2. I didn't have very strong feelings about Karen until s2, but I've really come to like her a lot. She's fascinating to me bc she's so hard to get a hold on and I'd love to see something really exploring her. What's her past? How has she gone through so much trauma and is still one of the most stable characters on the show? I love Karen and Ben's interactions and I really see it as a sort of parent-child thing. I'd really like to see that dynamic explored some more, especially in an AU where Ben doesn't die. I also didn't expect to like Frank as much as I do, but he was actually really interesting and really relatable. He's so tragic and I just find it really interesting how much conviction he has in his actions and how much he really cares about ppl, like when he refused to plea PTSD bc it would be unfair to ppl who actually had it. I thought his and Karen's relationship was really sweet and I love how protective he is of her. I'd love to see something with more of that, especially post s2.

Vanessa starts to rebuild Fisk's empire while he's in jail. AU where Vanessa is in charge of everything instead of Fisk. Fisk and Wesley meet as teenagers in a group home. Harry Potter AU where Fisk is trying to take over the Ministry. Karen and Ben bond over stereotypical parent-child activities. The real reason Karen came to New York was to escape the murder she'd committed back home. Nelson & Murdock flourishees after Fisk is arrested and Karen's life becomes both simpler and more complicated.
The Following
Any
I love this show, especially more of the beginning where everything was so much more creepy and symbolic and people were dying left and right. Joe's cult is fascinating and I'd love to see more of him gathering his flock and interacting with them, especially Emma, Mandy, and Roderick. His obsession with Ryan is even more fascinating, especially in the last season when his only desire seems to be to see Ryan one last time before he dies. Ryan is interesting because he's so impulsive and his alcoholism definitely makes a huge impact. It would be great to see him interacting with Max or Mike, or more in depth about his addiction, especially if he goes downhill post-s3. I'd love to see more psychological horror or gaslighting, murder, and general creepiness. Though I'd definitely not say no to fluff either! Canon Joe death is fine (but so is fix it... maybe the executioner was in on it and Joe pops up in Ryan's life again?), and I'd be ok with either of them dying as long as it's one of them killing the other. Emma was my favorite character on theshow and i was so devestated when she was killed off. I love how charismatic and confident she is. Jacob and Paul are great as well, and I love the different relationships between the three of them, and the different ways they see their place in Joe's cult. I loved that even for a little bit we had a canon threesome, so it'd be great to see more of that relationsip, hopefully going a bit better than it did in the show. Gina was great and I really enjoyed getting to see so much of her personal life, but I'd love to see even more of it, especially once her and her family's lives are out of danger. I liked Max a lot and I thought her relationship with Ryan was really interesting. I'd love to see something about when she was growing up or maybe him mentoring her. I don't mind her relationship with Mike, though it wasn't as great in s3 imo, but I really liked her with Tom. Them getting a happier ever after would be nice. Roderick was great and I wish there had been more of him. I'm really interested in seeing something about how he entered the cult and got to second-in-command. Also fic where he isn't actually killed would be great. Theo was actually one of the creepiest characters to me bc of his double life and the way he tried to kill his family. His backstory was really interesting and I'd love to see more of that, especially him and Penny growing up.

Ryan joins Joe on a killing spree. Joe and Ryan were soulmates, so when Joe dies, Ryan feels it. Joe and Ryan live happily (or not so happily) ever after at the mansion with Joe's followers. Emma, Jacob, and Paul decide to leave the cult together. Paul survives and makes it to the house with Jacob and they all have to patch up their relationship. Harry Potter AU where the followers are Hogwarts students and Joe is one of their professors.
Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Stormtrooper Character(s), Ben Solo | Kylo Ren, Phasma, Hux
I'm honestly not really familiar with any of the Star Wars movies except The Force Awakens but I saw it 4 times so I think it's safe to say I liked it :) Hux is my favorite, I love how vicious and snarky he is. I would love to see backstory for him or something in the future, maybe with him becoming emperor or something. He and Kylo are my favorite kind of antagonistic and while I'm all for the hate sex and that sort of thing, real fluff or romance would also be fab if you want to go in that direction. I love how conflicted Kylo is as a character and it would be great to explore that, especially about his family and how he came to the Dark Side in the first place. Also about him and the Knights of Ren bc I am super curious about them! If there was room for more characters, I would have included Snoke bc I'm fascinated with his and Kylo's relationship and their goals, both personal and for the Order. Phasma is fab and I really wish she would have gotten more screentime. I'm very interesting in seeing how she relates to both the Stormtroopers and the officers, since she's apparently part of the Order leadership triumvirate. For the Stormtroopers, I really just thought it would be interesting to see something about Stormtrooper culture in the Order and about their training and such. How do they feel about the Force, do they think of it as religious or political? What do they do with themselves when they're not on duty, do they have hobbies or parties or play pranks? I know there is backstory with Finn, but something after he defects or just characters that are far removed socially from him would be extra awesome. Also, I especially loved those two Stormtroopers who noped right out when Kylo was breaking shit, so I would absolutely love to see more of them.

Snoke and Leia arrange a marriage between Hux and Ben to create a ceasfire.
White Collar
Elizabeth Burke, Mozzie, Neal Caffrey, Peter Burke
I only just started watching this show, but I fell in love before the first episode was over. It's fun and funny and all the relationships are so, so good. Mozzie is probably my favorite bc he's hilarious and adorable. His and Neal's relationship, platonic or romantic, is wonderful with how comfortable and trusting it is. I'd love to see something about Mozzie's backstory or maybe something about what he does when he's not helping Neal with whatever. El is a close second for favorite character. She's sweet and smart and really smart. I'd love to see her helping out more on cases. She and Peter have like the healthiest most supportive marriage I think I've ever seen on tv. Something about how they met and the beginning of their relationship would be fab. Her and Mozzie's friendship is also really nice to see, so it would be great to see more of the two of them together. My favorite thing about Peter is how much loyalty he inspires in everyone around him. There are so many times when ppl drop anything to help him do what needs to be done, and I just really love that. I'd love to see more of that, of how he inspires such loyalty. His and Neal's relationship is especially great bc there's so much push and pull and building of trust. I love that they know so much about each other and are so comfortable with each other. Neal is interesting bc he's often conflicted about what he should be doing and what is "right." I really like that he has so many ppl around him to try to guide him the way he should go and to get him out of the shit he gets himself in. I see June as an adoptive mother figure for him and I really wish we saw more of the two of them boding. Also how is he so good at literally everything? I'd love to see something about how he developed his skills for art or cons or whatever.

Everyone has a big dinner party at June's house.
Young Justice
Roy Harper, Clone Roy Harper, Cameron Mahkent, Artemis Crock
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, whether platonic or romantic. 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. HIs battle with addiction is something I'd really like to see explored since it obviously had a huge impact on him, even aside from what led him there in the first place. I'd love to see more of Roy with Lian bc 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, and I definitely wouldn't be opposed to him raising her with the help of friends or whoever he's romantically involved with. I like Artemis a lot and I'm really interested in seeing more about before she joined the team and how she deals with being a superhero coming from a family of supervillains. Also how she got to know Ollie since he trusted her enough to put her on the team and Batman/Robin trusted her enough not to tell anyone else her past. Cameron is a really sad character imo. He tries so hard to get his father to pay attention to him and then he just kind of fucks up everything. I'd love to see something about him growing up and his relationship with his father. I also get the ideas he's basically a social outcast in general, like no friends or even allies. I really shipped him and Connor, and I think him having a romantic interest that's a superhero could change a lot for him in a positive way. Getting him on the team or even just a not-a-villain ally would be really interesting.

Wally thought he had a one-sided soulmate bond, but when the original Roy is found he finds out that isn't true. Roy and Kaldur end up in an arranged marriage to help strengthen a treaty with Atlantis. Roy and Wally have to pretend to be in a relationship for some reason, but the other Roy doesn't like feeling left out. Wally or Kaldur help Roy through his addiction. The remnants of the Young Justice team start up a resistance movement after Earth is overtaken. Roy takes Lian on a road trip as a way to bond with her. Roy has a crush on the barista at the coffee shop near his apartment and doesn't realize it's one of the other sidekicks. Roy and Wally were together before they found out that Roy was a clone, which causes all sorts of problems. Cameron meets his boyfriends friends for the first time off the battlefield. The rest of Artemis' first day at school.
