prueturnerWelcome welcome, creator! Although these are the things I can think of for likes, you're welcome to create outside of these, I'll be pretty happy to receive fic/art of any of the fandoms I like, so long as it adheres to the DNWs. I can clarify if needed!
General Likes
Case fic | Episode tags/post-ep fic or moments in between episodes | 5 (or more) + 1 | Time loops, time travel, otherwise messing with the timelines | Looking into the future -- through visions, crystal balls, whatever | Amnesia (complete, only about specific moments, all characters, just one character--it's one of my favorite tropes) | Secrets (being revealed, keeping them, near misses) | Mutual pining | Teamwork | Fluff | Hurt/Comfort, Sickfic, Whump | Angst with a happy ending | "Oh" moments/realizations | Alternate universe, canon divergence, what if? | epistolary work (especially unsent letters vs what was actually sent!) | power swaps, body swaps, role swaps | empathy (feeling each other's emotions) | character studies!! | established relationships | crushes to relationship | enemies to friends to lovers (i LOVE the friends part in between) | exploring certain aspects (fears, loves, hopes, hates) unwillingly (think where they go into everyone's dreams and have to find a way out) | consequences for canon actions (injury leading to disability, relationships changing because somebody said something) | accidental baby acquisition
General DNWs
Explicit smut/NSFW (keep it PG-13 or fade to black, please!) | Underage or considerable age gap relationships (underage being sexual content or implied sexual content between minors, considerable age gap being 30+ years, excepting supernatural species/events or requested pairings) | Noncon/dubcon/rape/sexual assault (canon mentions or backstory acceptable) | Incest (including step-relationships and adopted relationships) | Significant power gaps (teacher/student, boss/employee) | Harm to animals | Transphobia/homophobia/racism/bigotry from request characters or ships that differs from canon. | Major Original Characters (major in this case meaning taking up as much "screentime" as requested characters, exception: worldbuilding) | Branding or carving symbols into skin (tattooing is fine, as are non-graphic descriptions or passing mentions in fic) | Omegaverse/Mpreg | Genderbends | 1st/2nd person POV in non-epistolary | character bashing. in-character disliking of characters is fine, as is criticism of canonically questionable actions.
Art Likes
vibrant colors | small background details or hidden details | experimental formatting | different colored or different font speech bubbles for different characters (when speech bubbles are used) | emotion
Art DNWs
Branding/carving into skin, including self-harm, animal branding, or knives/sharp, non-needle objects going into flesh (needles are fine) | detailed eyes (close-up zoom with all the veins, think kind of Spongebob "ugly close-ups" However, "realistic style" is okay). No harm to eyes please. | Saliva
Fandom Specific
K (anime), aka K Project
In general I am a sucker for swapping just one aspect and seeing how things change from there. Also Fushimi is kinda my blorbo, you're welcome to ship him with (fellow adult) characters in the background even if it's not requested. I'm kinda an anime-only fan, you're welcome to toss in manga canon if you want. You are also welcome to mix and match these relationship tags, like I'm okay with a Awashima/Kusanagi fic where there's also a focus on the Fushimi & Kusanagi relationship, but focus on just one is okay too!
Awashima/Kusanagi: I love these two, like technically they're enemies but they're both smart enough to realize when they need to work together or discuss things without the rest of their clans knowing about it. I also love all the nicknames he has for her, and the sass she has as well. Also they're both ridiculously awesome fighters, so that's pretty cool. You're welcome to have them call each other by last name, first name, any nicknames from the anime or ones you think fit for them. Ideas/prompts: Pre-canon meetups, post-canon meetups, sneaking around their leaders to spend time together, "Parenting" their respective groups (team mom + team dad), Running into each other after a fight, bandaging wounds or first aid, Clan swap!AU (red to blue and vice versa or otherwise--green clan Seri? Gold Izumo?)
Awashima/Kusanagi & Munakata/Suoh: Both of these ships are really awesome, and Munakata/Suoh is especially heartbreaking to me, I would love some fluff or silliness with them! Also I kinda love the idea that all four of them are like, vaguely aware of what's going on but also the idea of secret dating as fluff is so fun for me. Ideas/prompts: Seri knowing about Munakata/Suoh while Izumo doesn't or vice versa accidental double-date, escape room with powers
Fushimi & Anna: Okay, they needed to interact more in the series. Like, Anna just being this (immensely powerful) kid who hangs out with basically gangsters, and my headcanon is that he kinda didn't know what to do with her in general? And then she goes and gets even more powerful and he's kinda like. Hmm. Didn't think that would happen. Anyways, I'm definitely into a little drama for them, especially something in season 2 where they can reflect on where they started, where they've ended up. Some prompt ideas: pre-Fushimi leaving, 5 times he ignored Anna + 1 he didn't, Anna having a vision of Fushimi leaving, post-Fushimi leaving, doing research into the clans + strains
Fushimi & Suoh: Suoh definitely saw the potential in Fushimi (and Yata) when he let them into HOMRA. I feel like as much as everyone expected Suoh to be really mad at Fushimi when he left for SCEPTER-4, Suoh was actually pretty understanding. Or as understanding as he would show himself to be. My headcanon is that they're really similar to each other and Suoh actually saw a little of himself in Fushimi. Some prompts/ideas: dad mode!Suoh (but only internally), them continuing contact after Fushimi left, them realizing they express emotion similarly, opposing kings!Fushimi&Suoh (in a scenario where Munakata is dead or otherwise)
Fushimi & Kusanagi: They definitely used to be closer, and my headcanon is that when they first met they were both wary of each other and then got more comfortable, and then after Fushimi switched sides Kusanagi was really hurt. Drama, drama, drama! Kusanagi interrupting Fushimi's fights with Yata is one of my favorite things. Some prompts/ideas: casual conversations, 5+1s, what ifs where they take different roles (Fushimi as Suoh's number one, Kusanagi in a research purpose for the blue clan, traitor!Kusanagi and loyal!Fushimi)
Yata & Awashima: A little bit of crack here given Yata's extraordinary shyness around women and also the way that they barely interact. I think that post-series they would be in a good place to hang out and also for Seri to mom at him a little bit, and also the idea of him making fun of her during the series and her doing a "right behind me" is hilarious to me. Some prompts/ideas: Seri in disguise having a serious conversation with Yata (until he realizes she's a woman and practically dies), Yata setting up pranks for the Blues that sometimes work and sometimes blow up in his face
Starman (1984)
You are welcome to include their son/focus on that pregnancy if you would like to, but no graphic childbirth/miscarriage/stillbirth if so. Blending TV/Movie canon is also okay if you prefer. Referring to the Starman as either Starman or Scott is okay, as is Paul if you're blending TV/movie canon.
Fandom-specific DNW: detailed or graphic vivisection, aftermath is okay in a hurt/comfort fic.
Jenny Hayden/Scott Hayden | Starman: They have my heart. I love how they grew closer over the movie and the idea of her afterwards going: okay this is my little freak, nobody touch him! is amazing to me. Some prompts/ideas: AUs where Starman/Scott stays, them talking about the differences between the worlds, a scenario where Jenny loses memories of how certain things work and has to be taught with Starman/Scott's (maybe incorrect) understanding, continuing a road trip together, cooking lessons, something from Starman's home planet is applicable to Earth, Jenny and Starman picking out a new name for him when they go to visit her family or people who knew the original Scott Hayden, Jenny bringing him home to her family, Starman missing his home planet.
Crossover Fandom (Dresden Files/Angel (TV Series))
Lara Wraith/Lilah Morgan: I love these two badass bitches who have feelings but are so bad at having feelings also. I would love to see them conniving against each other or against something that's somehow related to both of them. Lilah with or without some type of supernatural powers is okay, as is alive/dead!Lilah. Enemies to lovers or just enemies who get down with each other sometimes.
Angel (TV Series)
Fandom specific DNWs: Any mentions of Cordelia(Jasmine)/Connor or Fred/Wesley. Any mentions of Jasmine or that plotline.
Harmony/Cordelia: The way their relationship has changed from high-school to in LA is interesting to me! How much does Harmony struggle with being a vampire? Do they still fangirl over fashion/fame? I prefer post-high school things for them, but flashbacks are okay. Harmony having a longtime crush on Cordelia and thinking now that she's a vampire she has a chance (perhaps anachronistically motivated by the Twilight books), Cordelia helps Harmony get a soul, does Harmony know? How would she feel about it?, College!AU where they're roommates and suddenly Harmony starts leaving at weird hours,Vamp!Cordy/Still Human!Harmony
Cordelia/Doyle: The will they/won't they in the beginning of the show made me starve for more Cordelia/Doyle content. I feel like they could've been really good for each other and also immensely entertaining, like the bickering or exploring more of their differences in background. Some prompts/ideas: Doyle Lives AU (came back wrong? does he get the visions back?), DOMESTIC FLUFF pls give them what the show could not, (Half-)Demon!Cordelia x Human!Doyle
Char: Doyle: I feel like his backstory was cut short, so I would love to delve deeper into that and explore what it is that made him the way he was during the show. Some prompts/ideas: Life before meeting Angel, what was it like for him to discover his half-demon side, what if he was usually demon with occasion human, what an afterlife might look like for him, character study, key moments in his life, connections with his fashion/clothing style.
Charmed (1998 TV Series)
Phoebe & Piper & Prue & Paige: Sisters! I would honestly love anything that includes all four of them together, even if they're not working together, especially interactions with Paige & Prue. Canon-typical adventures + sister bickering. Some prompts/ideas: What if they grew up together, switching powers or birth order or which sister dies or which is the half-sister, amnesia where they have to figure out who is who (and maybe make some incorrect assumptions), adopting a pet (cat, dog, other), family reunion after a canon traumatizing event, moments where they depended on each other and moments they couldn't.
Prue/Cole: my username-backstory rarepair <3. They could've been good together and I stand by that, because I think the way they stand up to each other and argue shows respect at the very least for the fact that they believe the other is capable, if not exactly in the way they'd like. Some prompts/ideas: affairs, "oh no not him/her", AUs where powers/origins are swapped or Prue is working with the Source while Cole is a Charmed one, amnesia where they wake up somewhere and assume they're married or dating and then have to go fight demons
Sanctuary (2008 TV Series):
Helen & Will
the relationship between these two is so complex, I'd love any fic that explores it! Some ideas are Will wondering if he's Ashley's replacement, Helen considering Will as different to former (original character) prodigies, or just case/mission fic! Going after a dangerous abnormal or coming to rescue one from danger.
Henry & Ashley
I feel like them growing up together could be an interesting thing to explore, because Helen found Henry when he was young so maybe there were times when he was sort of like a big brother to her. Also exploring their adult lives and how they see working with abnormals in the context of who they are or a what if where they swap roles, like Ashley the HAP or Henry the Monster Hunter.
Henry & Alice
Alice is the name of his daughter (yay director's commentary!), so I'd like future!fics where they go on missions together, or otherwise have bonding experiences. Erica is welcome to tag along! Some other ideas include future time-traveling Alice joining in on during-canon events or a story focusing on Alice growing up with other abnormals and acceptance of herself.
Helen/Nikola:
Tropey romance, Nikola pining for Helen during the Five's earlier years, exploring what they were doing in various decades and the brief meet-ups (and maybe romance) that occur during those various decades, that KISS at the end, scrambling the order of friends to enemies to friends to lovers?
Worldbuilding:
