galerian_ashHi there, and thank you for coming to read this letter! My username is the same on AO3, and I'm requesting fic and art for everything. I'm going to let the tags speak for themselves — but should you want me to elaborate on anything, please don't hesitate to let me know! (I've also requested most of these fandoms before, so if you'd like to read some general babbling about why I like the characters and so on, you can take a peek at my old letters.)
Aside from the freeform tags themselves, here are some general likes:
♥ Characters who are unflinchingly loyal, including betrayals that are actually secretly done for the sake of the other.
♥ Protectiveness — especially if the one being protected is quite capable of taking care of themselves, and/or isn't used to someone caring like that.
♥ Stoic characters opening up and revealing feelings they normally wouldn't; the strong-and-silent type showing unexpected vulnerability.
♥ Unrequited love and longing that ends up not being that unrequited after all. UST is great as well, especially if finally resolved.
♥ Moments where one character is completely out of it (due to sleepiness or being wounded or whatever), but is still aware of the other just being there; a comforting and safe presence.
♥ Characters who share a "I understand what you need without having to be told" bond.
♥ Lonely characters finding companionship.
♥ Characters with self-esteem issues being told just how amazing and important they are (perhaps even in connection with a love confession). If their lack of self-worth stems from something physical, like scars, I'd love for them to be shown — especially if coupled with touch-starvation.
♥ Casual or unconscious displays of power, skill, or strength.
♥ Differences between lovers — height, age, etc.
♥ Indirect kissing, especially if coupled with pining. Like one character lighting a cigarette for the other, or drinking from the same glass.
♥ Names! I love it when characters start off calling the other by their last name (or by some formal title), then slowly slip into more familiar terms. Aside from it developing naturally like that, another thing I like is if it happens in the heat of the moment, like in the presence of some danger — or just a case of letting their guard down, maybe while drunk or exhausted. I love the use of nicknames and pet names as well, both unique ones and more generic stuff (everything from "buddy" to "darling").
♥ Rescues, whether it's a matter of life and death or simply being woken from a nightmare.
♥ Rivalries, both of the friendly sort and the more antagonistic kind.
♥ Princess-carrying! (Or bridal-style carrying, whatever you want to call it.)
♥ Characters being brainwashed/mind-controlled/cursed/whatever and forced into fighting against the one they love, who staunchly refuses to fight back. Especially if their shared memories is what finally breaks the spell and saves the day.
♥ Playful sex. That's not to say I don't enjoy tender or passionate sex (I do!), but there's just something about two characters being so at ease and comfortable around each other that they're able to joke and laugh while making love.
♥ Desperate kissing in the rain. Showing up drenched and shivering at the door of a lover-to-be after angsting in the rain is also great. DON'T JUDGE MEEE~
And on the flip side, things I don't want:
♦ Sad stuff involving animals — death, cruelty, etc.
♦ Mentions of kidneys or seizures. Please, not even the words themselves.
♦ Killing off the characters I've requested, or giving them a serious illness they didn't have in canon (by serious I mean things like cancer and dementia).
♦ Infidelity/cheating, polyamory, open relationships, swinging, group sex.
♦ Focus on social, religious, or political issues.
♦ Crossovers.
♦ Crack.
♦ Meta.
♦ Alternate Universe. I like AUs sometimes, but these fandoms are all rare so I'd prefer to get art/fic of them as they are (but fix-it/canon-divergence stuff is all good).
