aunt_zeldaHello, 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, bimboification.
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.

Favorite characters: Sashaaaaaaa, Grizzop, Cel, Barret Racket
Favorite ships: Sasha/Grizzop, Cel/Sassraa, Artemis/Sasha/Grizzop, Sasha/Zolf, Cel/Zolf, Grizzop/Wilde post Grizzop finding him passed out at his desk, PolyLOLOMG
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. 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.
Prompts:
- First time between a pairing
- What If scenario during the plot, a major change happens
- Sasha becomes the lich queen of Other London
- Artemis rituals
- Knife gifts

Favorite characters: Melanie King, Gertrude Robinson, Annabelle Cane, Daisy Tonner post-S3, Manuela Dominguez, Mikaele Salesa, Oliver Banks, Julia Montauk, Simon Fairchild
Favorite ships: Jon/Martin, Jon/Daisy, Annabelle/Jon, Trevor/Julia, Trevor/Julia/someone they catch, Jon/Tim/Sasha/Martin, Jon/Agnes Montague, Jon/Oliver/Martin, Jon/Georgie/Melanie
Fandom specific DNWs: Permanent deaths of Melanie, Jon, Martin, or Georgie. Jon saying he is allosexual or gay. Jon 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.

Music I like: it's real eclectic, a good way to get a sense of me is peruse my Spotify account tbh. I got into music late as a teen, and at first it was random fanmixes on LiveJournal and not specific bands. I still very much learn more towards "oh what a cool song" vs "let's get this whole album." I'm always on the lookout for new cool folk metal bands, sea shanty/folk song/ballad groups, and tend to prefer lower register singing than high pitched.

Books
I'm a big reader, got a ton of books. Big fan of pirates, "woman has sword now" fantasy, immersive worldbuilding, KJ Charles, Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant, and Sir Terry Pratchett.
Preference for: queer rep (especially ace rep), complex women, diverse casts, high fantasy, fun smut, strong banter and humor, rogues/criminals, well-written nonfiction about interesting events in history
Please no: tragedy, dealing with a death in the family, sad smut, hard sci-fi, coming out stress/tragedy, billionaire romances
Here is a list on bookshop of books I do not yet currently own and would like to at some point: https://bookshop.org/wishlists/5a672398da3b225b1d9f1bfa5491cb70267dd934
