What a great, great idea. Ok, here goes.

Overall likes; snark, banter, humour, sarcasm, dirty talk (preferably imaginative and not just like throwing around degrading slurs, although if well-done I like that too). Friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, overcoming prejudice about a "type of girl" (this includes about yourself and the expectations weighting on you). Archetypes of gender expression and androgyny (basically I like everything). Characterisation through clothing/fashion. One character being super awkward with the codes of this or that archetype.
"Practicing kissing" and liking it a lot, eventually coming to the realisation you like your best girlfriend more than any boys.
Hurt/comfort and post-trauma, mourning (the war must have shaken people badly -- for this I'm thinking of Gabrielle/Ginny for instance).
Crossgen (esp with consensual, healthy D/s).
Schoolgirl kink (with people being of age, or the same age and around 16-17).
A lesbian and a bisexual falling for each other and angst around it (without any biphobia or with ( ... )

Lol! I was hoping you'd comment here but OMG you, my dear, are easy to please :) I mean, IDK, maybe because I find a lot of these fun/attractive too, but that's potentially thousands and thousands of words worth of ideas <3

OK, a tiiiiny bit of topics but:
A lesbian and a bisexual falling for each other and angst around it (without any biphobia or with biphobia being addressed as biphobia)
I once RPed the slash version of this. It was one of the most adorable/romantic ships I'd ever written. Also one of the most heartbreaking storylines.

I really am easy to please. And I didn't even really develop my kinks. But like, my kink list would be the same size, at least :D

Eeeep! This has so much potential, doesn't it! I love this trope for Daphne/Pansy, always imagined Daphne to be a lesbian and Pansy to be bi and kind of struggling because her family pressures her to marry.

I know it's old school but I'd love to read about a classic butch-femme couple. :)

Sorry, but I just ran into this!

1) I'm really a fluff person in general. So I just really like happy fluffy romances between girls. With girls I really love friends turned lovers. And for the most part I do like the same popular tropes in femslash as I do in het and slash (although, for some reason I really like enemies to lovers with slash, but not as much with femslash; but that might have more to do with the characters in Harry Potter than anything else. I'd love it in original fiction, I think. I just haven't run into it.) I love forced proximity, mistletoe around Christmas and secret Santa (I think I really just love Christmas stories.) I like Auror stories, but I think I'm more coffee shop romance with femslash where I love Auror stories with slash (well, with Harry/Draco - I wouldn't with my other slash ships like James/Sirius or Albus/Scorpius unless the Auror was Harry).

So really, I guess this depends on the actual characters themselves more than anything ( ... )
