aunt_zeldaHello author! Thank you for signing up for this exchange!
Please don't worry about following any particular prompt I have here. I know how anxiety-inducing it can be to get an assignment and have no prompts or idea of what the person likes at all, so I wanted to provide some. If you get a completely different idea, go right ahead, I look forward to whatever you write for this.
My DNWs for this exchange are: suicide/self harm, major character death, major character illness, adultery/cheating, brutal unhappy endings with no hope in sight, oviposition, crackfic, rimming, mindbreak, corrective rape (sexuality or gender), character or ship bashing, spelling it "cum," characters under the age of 16 engaging in sex, fingernail/toenail trauma/injuries, kidfic/de-aging, trypophobia content, teeth damage/trauma, explicit urine/feces/vomit, detailed insects/bugs, first or second person POV, cancer, institutionalization, needles used for torture, eye torture/trauma, breast mutilation (biting or scratching is ok but not more extreme than that), gaslighting, fridging female characters (removing them from the narrative to focus on a male character’s trauma), suicide or assisted suicide as the end of a character/used or framed as a “mercy,” pregnancy, miscarriage, pets being endangered or harmed or killed, unrequested crossovers/fusions with other fandoms, medical torture/abuse, explicit child abuse (references to it as backstory are ok), petplay, sexual ageplay, Jonathan Sims saying he is allosexual or gay, Jonathan Sims expressing feelings of sexual attraction to anyone (when unaffected by outside influences such as drugs, magic, sex pollen, etc.)
DNW clarification: Jon’s asexuality doesn’t need to be the focus of the fic, but I am not interested in fic where he’s involved in sex and his canonical sexuality isn’t taken into consideration. He could be sex-repulsed, sex-neutral, sex-favorable, in the context of this exchange I think his personal experiences, limits, and boundaries (whatever you write them as) are very relevant, especially if he’s suddenly exposed to sex pollen or a Leitner and has to grapple with how different he feels. He could find it academically interesting, personally horrifying, or have any number of reactions.
Rusty Quill DNW: spoilers past Season 2. Sorry, but I'm slowly catching up, I know a few things about future seasons, but for this exchange I'd appreciate it if you please keep it to information revealed in the first two seasons. Totally on board for going into wild AU or canon divergences!
General things I like: character A teaching character B to defend themselves, bandaging wounds, navigating polyamory, asexual characters in romantic relationships, mad scientists, lore & legends, symbolic dreams, powerplays and power reversals, coping with long-term injuries and/or scars, roadtrips, pirate AUs, space pirate AUs, vampire AUs, werewolf AUs, nonsexual BDSM, traditions and loyalty rituals, gothic horror, gothic romance, horror in the vein of Things Man Was Not Meant To Know, survival challenges, being trapped by storms/weather, monster and human friendships/alliances, holidays (real or invented), worldbuilding, platonic sleeping together for comfort, making/sharing food together, found family, character focus/exploration, asexual and/or trans headcanons, role reversal AU.
Smutty stuff I like: Oh No There Is Only One Bed, sexual BDSM, tentacles, xenokink/monsterfucking, hypnotism, aftercare, bratty bottoms getting taught manners, service kink, orgasm denial (that eventually ends, not unending torture), multiple orgasms, two dominants double-teaming a sub, dubious consent acknowledged as such, bdsm session where a character calls their safeword and they have to stop the scene, threesomes, kink negotiation, polyamory, first time sex, consensual voyeurism, masturbation, bondage, wax play/other sensation play, spanking with hands, flogging/whipping, D/s roleplay, sex toys, choking/breathplay.
Darker stuff I like: whump, hurt/comfort, trauma recovery, retribution (disproportionate or not) for a transgression/trespass of some kind, revenge, characters trauma-bonding, characters getting drenched in blood, messy and unhealthy relationships, nonconsensual hypnotism, sex pollen, Something Made Them Do It (aliens, magic, curses, artifacts, etc), virginity fetishizing, ravishment fantasy, consensual nonconsent/rape roleplay where it's clear it's a negotiated roleplay, knifeplay, gunkink, partners killing someone together, lovers killing someone together, monster/human partnerships where the human has allied with the monster against humanity, victims turning the tables on their attackers/rapists/abusers, villains in love and doing horrible things to other people together, possessiveness/protectiveness with couples, extreme loyalty as with a knight/sovereign or sailor/captain, submission to punishment/rape/execution on behalf of another, unconsciousness, begging for mercy, men crying, strangulation, gangbangs where the victim is overwhelmed by sensation.

Fandom specific DNWs: Permanent deaths of Melanie King, Georgie Barker, or Naomi Herne. Rape/noncon between Julia/Trevor or Jon/Georgie. Bleak/hopeless/unhappy endings for Naomi, Georgie, or Melanie. Heavy details of Daisy's canonical police brutality.
Optional Fusions/Crossovers: I'm very down for a Mundane AU where everyone like works at a normal office or library or college or whatever, or meet at a support group, or a kink club. Several of these could themselves well to a role reversal AU (Archivist Agnes, Web!Jon, Melanie the Boss, etc.) don't be afraid to mix things up and get super creative here. Also to repeat myself, I love Vampire AUs and Pirate AUs (either fantastical or real world Golden Age of Piracy.) Superhero/villain AU could be really fun too, either campy or dark or anywhere inbetween.

Jonathan Sims, Agnes Montague
Up for romantic or platonic.
I'm super intrigued by these two characters. They have a lot in common and not much opportunity to talk about their own issues. I would love to see them meet somehow, perhaps the soulbond with Gertrude managed to save Agnes from death, or the world ending brings her back? Or an AU where Agnes is still lurking around and feels herself drawn to Jon now that he's the Archivist? Will she help burn down the Archives, or will she need convincing? Feel free to lean WAY into the dark religious implications of Agnes especially if you're comfortable with that. These are two characters who've both died in canon in a way, how do they feel about rough sex, about relative immortality? What does that soulbond feel like when they touch?
For Agnes specifically, it breaks my heart we never got to hear her speak for herself. Please, give her a voice. She had such a strange and singular upbringing. Her connection to Gertrude was deeply intimate and troubling to both of them. She had devotees and worshippers, but did anyone ever truly know her?
If you're the type who likes music while you write I made a fanmix for them: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1EsystQZIbp7i74iEkEYp7
Jonathan Sims, Daisy Tonner
Up for romantic or platonic.
I'm very intrigued by this dynamic with both the antagonistic angle early on where Daisy was ready to stab him in the woods, and the close friendship after he pulled her out of the Coffin. I really like the idea of them both struggling with hungers, urges to hunt people down, and desires for and trauma around physical contact. What if they end up oddly dating post-Coffin, what would that look like for them? I really love the idea of them just, needing to be close, cuddling, sleeping together, intimacy, whatever that looks like for them. I'm deeply interested in them having a close, weird, intimate relationship neither of them can really classify but they know it feels better to be together, feels safer.
I would really love to see them explore nonsexual bdsm together as a coping mechanism after the Coffin, I would probably cry with joy if you wrote that.
I'd prefer something consensual with these two instead of nonconsensual, but if weird Hunt shenanigans happen by all means lean into that in your writing.
An AU where they meet at some kind of support group could be really interesting.
Grifter’s Bone, Melanie King
Up for romantic or platonic.
Melanie is probably my favorite character. I really wish the show had explored her rage more, and how they handled her powers bugs at me. I want to know more about her, her youtube career, her defense of the Institute when Jon was in a coma, her starting to date Georgie, and her life when she moves in and is adjusting to that and also recently being blind. Tbh I'm also keen on an AU/What If where she did stab Elias before he got arrested, she deserves to get in at least one good stab on that guy.
The Slaughter is my favorite Fear and I wish it were explored more on the show beyond the WWI stuff. Grifter's Bone in particular intrigues the heck out of me. I would love to see ... really anything with Melanie being drawn to the music, researching rumors of a band that invokes violence, however you want to to explore this. Maybe an AU where she goes full Avatar and becomes part of the band?
Jonathan Sims, Georgie Barker
Up for romantic or platonic.
I want to know so much more about Jon and Georgie's relationship, be that during uni, during his time hiding with her, or some kind of timeline divergence. There's so much unsaid here about these two, and a lot of room for fanfic to explore them. I'm struggling to think of specific prompts, so I guess for them I'd say look to my likes list.
Julia Montauk, Trevor Herbert, Daisy Tonner, Jonathan Sims
Up for romantic or platonic with any combo here.
Much the same for the Jon and Daisy option above.
For Julia and Trevor, I just really really love the Hunt and its avatars. I love how dedicated they are to their work and their pursuit of monsters, ignoring the ways that they're turning into monsters along the way. I love their travels and their strange, deeply intimate connection. I love their ruthlessness, how they laugh when they discuss chasing Jon. I just ... really enjoy them and I'd love to read anything exploring them.
In general ... WEREWOLVES! Love 'em so much. Love a werewolf pack. I heartily encourage you to go WILD with this! Hunting each other down in the woods! Heats! Biting! Using sex to cope with murdery feelings! All the consent issues!
Pie in the sky, dreaming big ... I'd love for Jon to get kept by the pack. Trapped in a cuddlepile of murderers where he feels safe, so long as he doesn't try to leave of course. If he tries to leave, they'll run him down.
Naomi Herne, Peter Lukas
Up for romantic or platonic.
I'm just a big fan of Naomi as a character and her potential. She got close to something very frightening and managed to escape. Big "woman in a white dress trapped in an isolated house in the moors" vibes here. Did the Lukas family ever pursue her? What if they faked Evan's death and lured her back with a promise of a reunion?
My dream for this is Peter taking Naomi away to some Lonely mansion and doing awful things to her, and her finally gaining the upper hand and dispatching him. Whether that frees her from the Lonely's influence, or just cements her place as part of the Lukas clan is up to you.

Fandom Specific DNWs: permanent deaths of any requested characters, rape/noncon between any of the requested characters (dubious consent is ok!), bleak/hopeless/unhappy endings for any of the requested characters.
Optional Fusions/Crossovers: I'm very down for a Mundane/Modern AU where everyone works as a criminal gang, or meet at a support group, or in a kink club. Several of these could themselves well to a role reversal AU (Captain Sasha! Rogue Hamid! Sorcerer Grizzop!) don't be afraid to mix things up and get super creative here.

Hamid, Grizzop, Sasha
Up for romantic or platonic, would prefer romantic.
Any combo here, or all three of them together, would be lovely. I'm just so delighted by this trio. I recently took a road trip and listened to a whole chunk of RQG and these three were excellent company on the long stretches of highway.
I think what I'm most interested in is them during downtimes. They've been in such heavy combat and stressful situations. What if they could have a free weekend to see some theater together, no necromancers allowed. Or recuperating after a fight. Or working through their various traumas together. Or hooking up for casual or not so casual sex. Or exploring kink together!
What about an AU where they met under different circumstances, like what if Sasha was the boss of Other London, or Hamid was what his parents wanted, or Grizzop hired them instead of Zolf?

Artemis, Grizzop, Sasha
Up for romantic or platonic.
Most of what I said for the Hamid/Grizzop/Sasha set applies here. If Artemis gets incorporated, would love any exploration into the religious devotion Grizzop feels, or what Sasha thinks of that. The three of them doing a ritual together about hunting would be really really cool I think. Also very much down for Artemis making an offer to Sasha about the undead situation, and whether Sasha would take her up on that offer.

Sasha, Amelia Earhart
Up for romantic or platonic, would prefer romantic.
Gosh I was so charmed by this whole set up and dynamic. I wish they'd had more time to themselves away from Bertie and his blustering.
AU where Sasha stayed with the crew, or she joined them years back? Fun roleplay in the Captain's cabin? More flying lessons? Or even just, them having a meal together alone and appreciating each other would be nice.
