Rating: I am happy to receive any rating. I like smut if that is something you are comfortable writing. For violence, I am comfortable with canon levels except for my DNWs.
I'm not usually a fan of holiday fic, pure fluff, or AUs that are completely divorced from canon (for example, "Harry Potter AU where Hogwarts is a coffeeshop and everyone is a muggle because there is no magic") but it's not a dealbreaker if that's the fic you want to write most.
These are a few of my Favorite Things:
- Canon AUs, canon divergence, and "for want of a nail" plot lines are my favorites across all fandoms!
- Case fic, for a relative value of the word 'case.'
- Mysteries, political and/or social maneuverings, instigating conspiracies, unraveling conspiracies, heists and the planning thereof. You can never go wrong with a good ol'-fashioned monster of the week caper.
- Myth and fairy tale elements or retellings. Favorites include Bluebeard, Tam Lin, and all descents into the underworld.
- Angst with a happy ending, dark with a hopeful ending, drama with a peaceful ending.
- Temporal weirdness: time travel "fix it", time dilation, static time, cosmic time, reincarnation.
- Magic! Magic that has a Cost, family magic, learning magic, magical rituals, sympathetic magic. Particularly fond of family curses.
- Intense and even unhealthily codependent found families and/or romantic relationships.
- Characters being really passionate about their niche career/hobby/interest.
- Pining. Slow burn, seemingly unrequited pining, denial, and obliviousness.
- Getting together, navigating a new relationship, discovering and nurturing love. And I'm always good with first time fic.
