Bite-Sized Fandom Exchange Letter
Apr. 7th, 2024 06:40 pmDear author,
Thank you so much for offering to create something for me! I’m pretty easy to please, so if nothing in this letter sparks your imagination, or if you already have an idea of what you want to create, please feel free to ignore the below.
Gen tropes I love: Loyalty kink, long (complicated) histories, casual physical intimacy, gen kink, casefic/mysteries, shared secrets, hurt/comfort (that doesn’t slide into whump), travel themes (road trips, stranded somewhere, airport lounges, hotels). Common slash tropes reimagined platonically.
Shippy tropes I love: First times, developing relationships, PWPs, polyamory, friends-to-lovers, kink, kink & relationship negotiation, animal transformation, arranged marriage, trope subversion, mixed-orientation relationships, loyalty kink, iron woobies, stoic pining, travel themes (road trips, stranded somewhere, airport lounges, hotels). Common slash tropes reimagined for femslash and poly ships.
Kinks I love: Non-penetrative sex, masturbation, switching, coming in pants/coming untouched. Orgasm delay/denial/control and edging. Marking, possessiveness, tattoos, collars, special items of jewelry &/or clothing, clothes-sharing. Voyeurism/exhibitionism, semi-public sex. Watersports. Somnophilia. Cross-dressing. Non-sexual kink. Non-romantic kink relationships. In terms of BDSM I like D/s and S/M, blood play, breath play, fire play, gun play, knife play, scarification, wax play, praise kink & service. I can enjoy impact play and bondage but they aren’t my favorites, and I prefer improvised implements to a well-stocked toy chest.
And those categories are just for ease of navigation – feel free to mix from the shippy/gen/kink categories as you like, no matter what you’re writing for me!
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves - Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar
Xenk is my newest blorbo - I watched the movie and immediately fell in love with this paladin, his absolute faith in Edgin and the way he is so capital-G Good without being rigid about it. The mix of his literalness with that smirk that makes you wonder if he gets a bit more than he lets on, but enjoys playing up the stereotype. I don't have any top/bottom or dom/sub preferences for these two - I really just want more exploration of their dynamic and how it can continue to play out post-canon. I would particularly love iron woobie Xenk doing some stoic pining for Edgin, and Edgin continuing to have no idea what to do with Xenk's faith in him (but trying to take care of Xenk because somebody has to).
Inception - Arthur/Saito
I am shallow; these are two very attractive men who wear very attractive suits very well. I love the way Saito wields power and Arthur yields to it, so Arthur attaching himself to Saito post-canon the way he was attached to Cobb absolutely works for me; for the same reason, I'd love any sort of PWP involving power exchange. Limbo is always fun to explore, and I'm also definitely open to AUs for this pair.
My Dearly Beloved Detective - Shirley Holmes/Jane Watson
This is definitely a relationship that calls for either get-back-together fic or something fun and tropey! I'm always open to casefic for a Holmesian fandom, and for this particular Holmesian fandom crack and crack treated seriously are extremely welcome. But whatever the outside trappings of the fic are, I just want to see Shirley and Jane back together - Holmes and Watsons need each other, and the place the movie left them simply cannot be allowed to stand. Please wave away Robbie in any way you like; this is not a ship where I'm interested in a poly setup.
