Id Pro Quo 2023

Dear author,

Thanks for creating 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, but please don't feel constrained -- I’d much rather read something you had fun writing. Also, any rating is fine, though I prefer some plot and/or character/relationship development along with my smut if you choose to write any.

Prompt mixing is welcome.

My AO3 is [archiveofourown.org profile] copacet and
I am open to treats.

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, involvement of the rest of a canon's ensemble.

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, jealousy, us-against-the-world, casual physical affection, bedsharing, characters watching each other sleep, 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.

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, canonical or noncanonical background pairings, D/s, self-harm/suicidal ideation/suicide, kidfic, internalized homophobia, canon-typical whatever.

DNWs (unless specifically requested):
one character deliberately non-conning another character within a requested relationship (mutually non-con scenarios like sex pollen or bad-guys-made-them-do-it are fine), m-preg, graphic descriptions of vomit, scat, the spelling "cum" (as opposed to "come").

Requests


The Flight of the Heron - D.K. Broster

Requesting fic.

>Ewen Cameron/Keith Windham

What I love about this canon is the combination of the Highland setting, how quickly Keith and Ewen develop such an intense loyalty toward each other, and how the war acts as a deliciously fraught backdrop for all the character melodrama.

Freeforms:
  • Bathing/Washing
  • Character loses everything and can only turn to enemy for help
  • Forced Marriage - Traitor Forced To Marry Spouse Who'll Monitor Them For Further Treachery
  • Hurt/Comfort - Character Treats Other Character's Injuries
  • Hurt/Comfort - minor illness/injury becomes major due to character refusing/being unable to rest

Top Gun (movies)


Requesting fic

>Tom "Iceman" Kazansky/Pete "Maverick" Mitchell

I absolutely loved the development of their relationship from their UST-laden rivalry in the first movie to the quiet intimacy of their friendship in TG:M. I'll be happy with fics set at any point in that timeline (or beyond, in an AU where Iceman lives), but also feel free to set something after the first movie that ignores what we learned from TG:M.

Freeforms:
  • Character Realizes They’re Bisexual; Comes Out to Same-Gender Friend Who Immediately Jumps Them
  • Characters Started Flirting With Each Other "As A Joke" But Now They're Not Really Joking

  • Outsider POV - Time Travel From the POV of a Non-Time-Traveling Character
  • Protectiveness - pulling political strings to protect another character

  • Something Made Them Do It - Villains/Teammates/Observers Surprised By Their Enthusiasm
  • Time Loop - being in the loop together leads to getting together

Stargate Atlantis

Requesting fic.

Atlantis/John Sheppard
Atlantis & John Sheppard


I always enjoyed the concept of Sheppard having a particular connection to the city - I'll enjoy anything on the spectrum from "lighthearted wacky sci-fi hijinks" to a more serious or darker exploration of the alien nature of a ten-thousand year old city. I love SGA's whole ensemble, so feel free to bring in the rest of the team, or just keep it focused on Sheppard and Atlantis.


Freeforms
  • Bringing a Dilapidated Place Back To Life
  • Disturbing from an outside perspective but sweet to the people within the relationship
  • Displays of Love/Affection That'd Probably Weird Out Anyone But Their Intended Recipient
  • Eldritch Architecture
  • The inherent intimacy of man-machine interface
  • Non-sentient object or building becomes sentient
  • Outsider POV - main characters way too relaxed about weird or dangerous canon-typical events
  • Outsider POV - Gossip correctly guesses at A/B’s secret relationship only to dismiss it as absurd
  • Outsider POV: I don't understand this relationship but it weirdly works
  • Secret Relationship Reveal - other characters didn’t know but do think it explains a lot
  • This House has a Personality and that Personality is Fucked Up
