Things I Like and DNWs

Friendship, found families, loyalty, love, deep emotional connections, devotion, displays of affection and respect
Third person POV
Flirting, pining, UST and especially getting together fic
Possessiveness
Missing scenes and fix-its, as well as case-fic and plotty stories
Protectiveness and characters sacrificing their own comforts to help others
Mutual pining with a happy ending, unrequited love finally realized
Hurt/comfort, especially after a nightmare, tending wounds, caring for them when they're ill or injured, hovering after something traumatic and trying to take their mind off things
Tropes like only one bed and every other possible bedsharing scenario, fake couple/marriage leading to the inability to keep hiding feelings, forced proximity and bonus if there’s peril
First kiss, first times, first realization of feelings
Humor, snark and banter, laughing and joking with each other
Happy or at the very least ambiguously hopeful endings

NSFW Likes:

I like stories with no sex, fade-to-black, or full-on smut, so write whatever level you prefer.
I do like at least as much if not more focus on the emotions as on what body part goes where or what position people are in.
Porn with feelings and emotional or romantic sex
Dubcon when requested
Desperate kisses and one or both partners overwhelmed with passion and feelings
Manhandling and displays of strength, up against the wall sex
Kneeling (any reason but especially for oral sex or to kiss knees or thighs or anything like that, grand)
Penetrative sex, oral sex, fingers, frottage, mutual masturbation or one watching the other
Naked and half-naked or one clothed and the other naked, basically any combo of clothed/not clothed
Necking, petting, face and neck and body stroking, kissing and/or sucking or licking pretty much anywhere
I really like up against the wall, taken from behind, and one riding the other, but any positions are fine
Thank god you're/we're alive sex
One character being suddenly so overcome with feeling and desire for the other they kiss them and initiate things out of the blue, like they can't wait another second--love those big music swell moments
When requested or present in canon, hair-pulling or ass-slapping in the heat of the moment
With appropriate pairings, like vampires, blood drinking and/or licking blood off the other’s mouth, face, neck, etc. can’t go wrong.

Do Not Want (DNWs):

I have exceptions and qualifications for DNWs in certain cases and will mention those specifically in my requests.

Anything related to COVID19 or politics
AUs except canon divergence
Major character death, disabling or fatal illness or injury
Self-harm and suicide
Unhappy or bleak endings
Script format/only dialogue
1st and 2nd person POV
Original character or unrequested character POV
Unrequested gender and sexuality headcanons
Cruelty to animals or animal death
Infidelity and friend/partner betrayal
Holiday stories (Halloween is the exception)
Unrequested crossovers or crack fic
Speculative elements (ghosts, aliens, sex pollen) in non-speculative canons
Kidfic, pregnancy or birth of any kind

Sex-Related DNWs:

Non-con
Underage
BDSM, D/s and/or consent negotiations
Generic dirty talk, porn film dialogue during/about sex, calling someone slut, whore or other names
Mommy/Daddy kink
Sex toys
Sexual pain and torture, hitting, suffocating, dehumanization, humiliation, even if consensual
Body secretions or wastes, spitting, and come play. (Come is fine, even a brief description, but please don’t focus on it. Sweat is fine, and so is blood in vampire and horror canons.)

To clarify on the serious illness or injury, referencing canon trauma is fine but please don’t give anyone a non-canonical serious physical or mental condition. Injuries and illnesses that can heal are fine, like someone getting shot or having the flu or broken bones.
