copacetDear author,
Thanks for writing something for me! I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with. The first thing I’d like to say is, feel free to ignore everything in this letter except the DNWs. I've written out some general likes and a few things I like about each pairing, but please don't feel constrained - - I’d much rather read something you had fun writing. I didn't include prompts for every freeform to prevent this letter from getting ungodly long, but I have added a few notes at the end for tags that seemed a little more ambiguous - - but again, don't feel obligated to stick to what I've written here. Also, any rating is fine.
General likes:
Competence (physical/intellectual/superpower-related/etc.), plotty casefic, characters rescuing each other, characters rescuing themselves, time-travel/Groundhog Day plots, canon-divergence/for-want-of-a-nail AUs, canon-compliant fic, hurt/comfort, angst, action/adventure, outsider POV, AUs where the characters still have their powers/skills, dimension travel and/or meeting alternate versions of themselves, self-sacrifice, ethical dilemmas, character studies, unreliable narrators.
Relationship likes:
Characters being intense about each other, ambiguous relationships, characters going into Determinator mode when the other is in danger, pining/UST, loyalty kink, complicated relationships, possessiveness/co-dependency/protectiveness, unspoken jealousy, us-against-the-world, casual physical affection, bedsharing, one or both characters trying to resist temptation, forbidden romance.
Smut & kink likes:
sex pollen, aliens/bad guys made them do it, characters in a secret/forbidden relationship being caught in compromising situations, oral, fingering, frottage, coming in clothes, semi-public sex, biting/marking.
DNWs:
non-con between requested characters, m-preg, ABO, ageplay/infantilism, vore, vomit, scat.
Opt-ins (not necessarily requests, but things some people might DNW that are not a problem for me):
character death, unhappy/bittersweet endings, dubcon, infidelity, unrequited feelings, violence, darkfic, fusions with other canons, non-canonical genders & sexualities (trans, asexual, etc.), 2nd-person POV.
General Art Likes:
vivid colors, characters being physically affectionate with one another (embracing, holding hands, kissing hair or hands, etc), symbolism, visual contrasts, dark/light motifs, elaborate outfits (if applicable to canon).
Table of Contents
X-Men
Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire
The Borgias
Requests:
X-Men (Alternate Timeline Movies)
Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Requesting fic
Freeforms:
Game of Thrones (TV) / A Song of Ice and Fire
Cersei Lannister/Jaime Lannister (GoT or ASoIaF)
Requesting fic and art. All the listed freeforms are for both versions; I've added some book and show-specific prompts and notes at the end. I'm okay with canon-typical everything, including sex, violence, and angst.
Freeforms:
Show-version:
I loved that hot second in S7 where Jaime was Cersei's prince consort in all but name, so maybe a canon divergence where they actually do marry in S7 or where they survive S8 and Cersei retains her queenship. For a divergence earlier in canon, what if Jaime got Cersei pregnant during season 4: maybe they decide (even convincing Tywin if he's still alive) that since neither Loras nor anyone else will marry her after she got pregnant out of wedlock with another man's kid, and since everyone pretty much knows about her and Jaime anyway, the best way to deal with it is to brazen through by marrying one another openly and dealing with the consequences.
For the show version, I would prefer if you either ignore the valonqar prophecy entirely or have it play out as a mercy kill or something similarly non-cruel.
Book-version:
There's the moment in AFFC where Cersei "dreamed a long sweet dream where Jaime was her husband and their son was still alive" - maybe elaborate on that fantasy, or on other times they've thought about getting married, either as something they talked about together or fantasized about when they were separated. Or where Jaime is more successful at convincing Cersei to marry him after he returns from captivity (optionally because altar!sex got her pregnant again). Or something post-ADWD where they reconcile (or partially reconcile - go as angsty as you want) and ultimately marry like they always wanted to. Feel free to go full murder-suicide or whatever if you're including the valonqar prophecy for the book version, or to ignore the prophecy and give them a happy ending - just as long as they die together if they do die.
Art prompts: a wedding ceremony in front of the Iron Throne or in the Sept of Baelor, privately enacting an unofficial wedding ceremony with no witnesses when they were younger, dancing at their own wedding, dying in each other’s arms at their wedding/on their wedding night, Cersei sitting on the Iron Throne with Jaime close by as her Prince Consort, a wedding ceremony where Cersei is pregnant, the two of them as a family with their children and/or with incest baby #4.
The Borgias (TV)
Cesare Borgia/Lucrezia Borgia
Requesting fic and art.
Freeforms
Art prompts: King Cesare with Queen Lucrezia, a grandiose Catholic marriage ceremony in the Vatican, a quiet unofficial marriage ceremony somewhere secret, dancing together at their own wedding, canon-typical demonstrations of physical affection.
