AU Exchange
Jul. 10th, 2019 08:49 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
everysecondtuesdayHi! I love all of the fandoms and ships I'm requesting, so if something is longer or shorter than its counterparts, it's due to how much I had to say, not how much I love the request.
Also, as ever and always, I would like to emphasize, please don't feel obligated to read this letter in its entirety (or at all!). If you already have an idea of what you want to do from just the AO3 requests, go for it! This is all to (I hope) make it easier on you, and I am a big believer in optional details being optional. There being fic for my ships and fandoms will make me happy. Everything else is icing on delicious, delicious cake. Every single optional prompt/additional thought is very, very optional.
If I flub the letter writing and editing process and mention something in my letter that is not on AO3 and in my sign-ups or if I phrase something poorly, I'd also like to emphasize that that's on me and you're free to pretend you didn't see it (or to ask the mods if you're still concerned). My DNWs are all listed under DNWs in my optional details on AO3. If it's something not listed under DNWs, then that's a preference, but I'm still going to read/look at and comment on your fic and (if history is anything to judge) be really happy with it.
For ease of finding me: tuesday on AO3, everysecondtuesday on tumblr.
On past gifts: I've received works in the past for several of my requested fandoms, which I loved! I just want more. If you matched me on it, I am sure I will love whatever you make me, whether it's along the lines of the gifts I've already received or something entirely new.
On other gifts: I am always open to treats and late gifts. If I've requested it on an AO3 exchange, I still want it, even years later. I am also always open to art treats, even if the request is fic. Usually, I feel like I cannot come up with good art prompts or don't think my freeforms are convenient for it and thus don't request it, but if you have an idea already based on my likes, prompts, or freeforms, I am always open to art treats and would be thrilled to receive any. Same with vids on the outside chance there are ever people looking to treat those.
Recursive works: If you have authorial permission (blanket or otherwise), I do not mind recursive (fanwork of a fanwork) fic or art of past gifts, my own fic, or certain other beloved fic you know I've read. Specifically thinking of DoS thanks to a EAD conversation, but I'm sure there are others; you can always check through the mod, and I will do my best to get back to them quickly.
Format Likes: I like all ratings for works, from General Audiences to Explicit. For fic, I'm open to any length, from drabbles and drabble series to just over the min to sprawling epics. I like both traditional fic and non-traditional and experimental formats, including interactive fiction, CYOA, epistolary, and multimedia. I prefer past or present tense. I generally prefer third person (especially consistent third person limited where POV shift only happens in scene breaks or doesn't happen at all) or a match to canon (which in some cases is going to be first or second). (I'm open to everything! These are just preferences.)
Art Likes: I like rough sketches and clean line art both, bright and dark colors to set mood, comics, scenery, single and group character poses, the cute and the creepy. All stages, all skill levels, all types, I always like seeing what someone else comes up with. Go as E- or G-rated as you'd like. I especially like character expressions and things that set mood (color, body language, composition, etc).
Some non-explicit poses I especially like for ships are characters kissing (on the mouth, the temple, the top of the head, hands, the cheek, etc), holding hands, hugging, carrying each other (princess carry, fireman, piggyback, shoulder rides), and pressing their foreheads together. For explicit poses, feel free to take anything from my smut likes, but for something visual, I especially like bruises and marks, face touching, and hair-petting or pulling.
General Likes: worldbuilding, humor, horror, crack, canon-divergent AUs, other types of AUs (magic, cyberpunk, steampunk, regency, everyone lives, end of the world, sentinel and other fusions), IN SPACE, family and found family, friendship, machinations, intrigue, time travel, mysteries, time loops, magic, shenanigans, political negotiations, alliances of convenience, plot, developing relationships/friendships, character has the chance to re-do/relive events, reincarnation, mysteries, comedy of errors, competence, communication, codas, future fic.
Horror Likes: ghosts and ghost stories, monsters, isolation, trapped together, apocalypses and the post-apocalyptic life thereafter, murder mysteries, creeping horror, non-euclidean geometry and architecture, eldritch horrors, unethical experimentation, cannibalism (by choice or by necessity; knowing or unknowing), the undead, A.I. gone horribly wrong, A.I. gone horribly right, body horror, monkey's paws, artifacts of doom, mimics and people lures, plant monsters and killer horticulture, gallows humor.
Ship Likes: Soulmates and/or soul bonds. Alternate first meetings. Mutual pining. Didn't know they're dating, mistaken for dating, and fake dating. Undercover as a couple. Matchmaking and arranged marriages and courting. Friends to lovers. Extended courtships and whirlwind romance. Woke up married. Truth serum and trapped together and handcuffed together. Magic curses. Gestures of affection and intimacy. Firsts (dates, kisses, times).
Hurt/comfort: I have a whole host of freeforms I loved that I requested for hurt/comfort exchange + some thoughts on h/c at my h/c letter.
Smut Likes: all things vanilla, aftercare, anal with men on the receiving end (m/m, f->m, but not m->f or f/f), anal fingering with men on the receiving end (m/m, f->m, but not m->f or f/f), aphrodisiacs, bathing together, biting, blood play and/or still bleeding (characters roughed up from other causes and everyone still being dtf, especially), bondage/restraint (especially handcuffs, silk rope, ties or other things being repurposed, honor bondage), breath play, bruising, clothing kink, come-eating, cuddling, desperation, dirty talk, edging, electrostimulation, emotional sex/emotions during sex, enthusiastic consent, f/m pegging, face-fucking, face-sitting, face touching, first times (together or ever), for science!, frottage, gentleness, handholding, hair-petting, hair-pulling, held down, hickeys, hurt/comfort, impact play (but not as punishment), "inappropriate" use of magic/the Force/superpowers/technology, kissing, kneeling, laughter/joking around/banter during sex, loyalty kink, making out, manhandling, marking, masochism, massage, mating cycles/in heat (please all parties into each other beforehand), mentor/protege, multiple orgasms, object insertion, omega-verse, oral sex, overstimulation, oviposition, pain play, pervertibles, praise kink, robot sex, rimming (clean only), rushed sex, scent-marking, service kink, sensation play, sex pollen, sounding, switching, sugar daddy kink (but not use of the word "daddy"/daddy kink), tenderness, toys, trust, voice kink, voyeurism (consensual only), vulnerability.
If you'd like more thoughts on smut likes or to see prompts and freeforms I've requested in the past, I wrote a letter for smut swap.
If you're still looking for additional ideas, I also requested a bunch of freeforms I love for Just Married and Pining Exchange and included some prompts for some of them.
Art Notes: Not all these freeform tags are great as art prompts unless you want to do a full comic, but if there's one that catches your eye that you don't think you can fully encompass in the space of one drawing, I want to emphasize that I'd be perfectly happy with an illustration of a scene from an unwritten story or a comic book style cover or what-have-you. I'd be super happy with Hawke facing down the Nightmare with Varric looking over his shoulder in the background or Tony with a red thread of fate connecting him to [other person in ship] or M and O waking up together with a spaceship-y background. I don't need the full story, just however much you're willing to provide, whether that's a portrait of my faves or something more ambitious.
Freeform Notes: I loved all the freeform tags I'm requesting. I only have thoughts and prompts for some of them, but please feel free to take the tag itself as a prompt or rifle through my likes for inspiration.
General DNWs:
-Hopelessly unhappy endings.
-Unrequested permanent requested character death.
-Suicidal ideation.
-Focus on unrequested serious illness.
-Graphic eye trauma.
-Anything to do with nonfictional religions, organized crime, prisons, slavery, sex work, or which would involve student/school teacher.
-AUs in which canon universes with fantastical elements (magic, chakra, super powers, the Force) have said fantastical elements removed without anything equivalent to replace it and are turned entirely mundane.
-Art with strobing effects/rapid bright flashing lights.
Ship DNWs:
-Infidelity, characters thinking they're engaged in infidelity, or major focus on/long scenes in which characters think the other character is being unfaithful.
-Focus on unrequested ships. (Presence of background or minor unrequested ships that do not contradict other DNWs is fine!)
-Underage romantic or sexual relationships.
-Actually unrequited love between requested / ship (characters can think it is, but I would like them to be wrong).
-Manipulation of a romantic or sexual partner (or prospective one).
Smut DNWs:
-Unrequested dub- or non-con or rape play (for dubcon likes or prompts, I'd prefer all parties to already be into each other in cases where consent is affected).
-Contract or 24/7 BDSM or use of the word "master."
-The spelling "cum" (as opposed to "come").
-Anything to do with bodily elimination.
-Mommy/daddy kink (and any use of the words "mommy" or "daddy" or related in a sexual or romantic connotation).
-Sex acts as a punishment or deliberate humiliation and degradation.
-Serious or permanent injury arising from a sex act.
-Age play. Bestiality, animal play (e.g. puppy play), or furries.
-m->f or f/f anal.
DNW Clarifications and Explications:
Hopelessly unhappy endings: I'd prefer either a happy ending or the sense that there's a roadmap to get there.
Unrequested permanent requested character death: Impermanent requested character death is fine and baked into a few of my likes and canons. I would like all requested characters to be alive at the end of the story unless the prompt/freeform actually goes there. Wrt Endgame, you can set things pre-canon events, have them miraculously survive, have canon diverge, etc., and I will take it.
Graphic eye trauma: Non-descriptive references are fine.
Nonfictional religions, organized crime, prisons, slavery, sex work: If one of these is part of a canon background, I do not mind passing mention of it. I do not want a story centered around these elements, like organized crime or sex worker AUs, canon divergence in which Fenris remains a slave or a fic set in Tevinter focused on slavery, etc. (Because it's mentioned in the same line: I do not want student/school teacher even in passing mention and have not requested anything where I think it could come up.)
Mundane AUs: I'd like 'verses with fantastical elements to keep those elements or equivalents thereof. For something like a coffee shop AU, Hawke is either still a mage or still has a mage sister. For something like an in space AU that's not canon divergent, Tony Stark still builds tech leagues ahead of everyone else and Peter still got superpowers.
Infidelity etc.: Poly outside of MCU Peter/Tony is fine. (In my sign-up and the fandom section, though, it is a definite DNW in MCU for Peter/Tony.) I don't want anyone confused on the fact that it is poly, not cheating. In general, my major concern is to avoid a) definitely cheating in any direction, b) something in which one part of the ship thinks the other part is in a closed relationship and that's what the main ship is engaging in, c) something in which one half of a closed relationship believes the other is cheating on them and we the audience are likely to also think that's what's going on and which comprises a major, ongoing part of the story as opposed to something brief and mistaken.
Underage romantic or sexual relationships: Everyone in a relationship should be 18+, please. For something like Peter/Tony, you can go with a) setting a fic later, b) feelings that aren't currently going to be realized, c) aging up within the setting/everything stays the same, but Peter is older, d) time travel shenanigans, e) something else I haven't thought of, but maybe you have.
Actually unrequited love between requested / ships: Characters can think it is, but I would like them to be wrong.
Unrequested dub- or non-con or rape play: You're fine to include dubcon from my current likes or requests from this year's smut swap or h/c exchange letters. I'd prefer anything with consent affected (e.g. sex pollen, aphrodisiacs) for all characters involved in sex to already be into each other. I do not want non-con or rape play.
Contract or 24/7 BDSM or use of the word "master": Mentioning this because I have a lot of BDSM-related or adjacent likes. It wouldn't ruin my night or fic, but I'm not super into the formalized contract thing or it being the focus of a relationship/what the relationship is primarily about, and I don't want to accidentally set any traps for my author. I'm fine with and enjoy non-formalized play, with people having fun with pain, bondage, some power dynamics (e.g. Peter calling Tony "Mr. Stark" in bed), etc.
Bodily elimination: This is a smut DNW. You are obviously fine to reference people needing to use the restroom and generally having biological urges as is necessary for the story. I'd just like the rare golden showers works to go to someone who will be guaranteed to appreciate them rather than someone who is super picky about them.
Sex acts as a punishment, deliberate humiliation, degradation: I like everyone being into an act or at least interested in trying it. I only want sexual pain or injuries (spanking, caning, etc.) as something someone is opting into, please. Accidental or situational humiliation (especially in cases where one party tries to ease this for the other party if/when they notice) is fine. Degradation and pejoratives for a partner (e.g. "filthy slut") are something I'm really not into, even if the partner is enthusiastic about it.
M->f or f/f anal: I do not want women on the receiving end of anal, please. This is another mentioning it because of adjacent likes things. Anal sex in which men are the receiving partner are a like, but I'm not interested in reading about it for women unless they're on the giving end and only on the giving end.
Serious or permanent injury arising from a sex act: Rough sex is a-okay, as is soreness, bruises, marks, puffiness, things being oversensitized or raw, and more minor injuries. Something that causes serious concern about permanent damage or life-threatening injury or anything with genital tearing is beyond my level of interest. Serious or life-threatening injury outside of a sexual context is also fine.
Crossover Fandom (Tony/Tony) (art, fic):
Group: Tony Stark (616)/Tony Stark (Ultimates)
Group: Tony Stark (616)/Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Tony Stark (616)/Tony Stark (MCU)/Tony Stark (Ultimates)
Group Tony Stark (MCU)/Tony Stark (Ultimates)
Crossover DNWS: Permanent death of any MCU hero characters or non-canon deaths of their friends or family. Contentious break up of MCU Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Any mention of MCU Peter Parker in a MCU Tony ship fic that is not Tony/Peter. Hydra!Cap. MCU Morgan Stark existing for this set of prompts/requests if MCU Tony is dimension hopping. (It is too sad to me for Tony to be potentially permanently separated from his daughter when what I want to focus on is adventures and/or flirting.)
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
-ALL: Dimension travel: This is pretty much a free space. Who's doing the traveling? Why? Is it on purpose or accidental?
-ALL: Male character gets pregnant via consensual scientific experimentation: I would love Tony's reaction to a very pregnant other Tony.
-Crossover: Using the Infinity Gauntlet Sends Tony Stark Elsewhere: Another free space, but with Infinity Gauntlets.
Things I like about this canon:
I feel like there's a whole list of things I like and that drive me up a wall about comics, but one thing I do love about the specific comics and characters I'm requesting is: Tony Stark. Same with the MCU. You can probably tell by the fact that I am requesting two of him. These Tonys are all rather different, but I love them all a lot. They try their best and keep getting back up no matter what life throws at them. They're smart, driven, and (sometimes despite their best efforts) care deeply. They're also kind of disasters in the best possible way.
Now I would like them to kiss, please. /o\
Other notes: I have not read every bit of comics canon (there is ... so much), but I'm okay with missing a reference if you're okay with including it. I have no preference for when in a (or which) timeline something takes part. You can handwave away any and all the MCU hero character deaths however you like or just not mention them, and I will do so in my head. I've seen every MCU film, including FFH, but not all of the shows. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
Crossover Fandom (Dragon Age/MCU ships) (art, fic):
Group: Dorian Pavus (Dragon Age)/Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Dorian Pavus (Dragon Age)/Male Hawke (Dragon Age)/Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Dorian Pavus (Dragon Age) & Hawke (Dragon Age)/Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Hawke (Dragon Age)/Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Dorian Pavus (Dragon Age) & Hawke (Dragon Age) & Tony Stark (MCU)
Dragon Age/MCU DNWs: Permanent death of any MCU hero characters or non-canon deaths of their friends or family. Contentious break up of MCU Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Any mention of MCU Peter Parker in a MCU Tony ship fic that is not Tony/Peter. Permanent death of any of Hawke's companions or their household, including (especially) Dog. Any death at all of Dog. MCU Morgan Stark existing for this set of prompts/requests. (It is too sad to me for Tony to be potentially permanently separated from his daughter when what I want to focus on is Thedas adventures and/or flirting.)
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
-Crossover: Using the Infinity Gauntlet Sends Tony Stark Elsewhere: In this case, to Thedas. :D :D :D When does he arrive? Where does he arrive? Is he mistaken for a demon, abomination, or an apostate?
-DAMCU: Tony Stark falls through a rift and lands in Thedas: *points up*
-DAMCU: Tony Stark is the Inquisitor: Tony is the one who falls out of that first rift. How does this work out for him? :D
Things I like about this canon:
I love magic and super powers and all the characters I'm requesting. They're all kind of a disaster in the best way. I think they would get along like a house on fire if they don't end up actually setting fire to said house. The thought of how Tony would react to Thedas, with its entirely different set of rules is one that fills me with delight. Even if you just want to go with straight up flirting or explicit fic, I think it would be a lot of fun to see these characters interact.
Other notes: If you matched on or include a Hawke, my favorite Hawke is purple mage Hawke, but I love all Hawkes, and you can choose whichever you please. For MCU, I have no preference for when in a (or which) timeline something takes part. You can handwave away any and all the hero character deaths however you like or just not mention them, and I will do so in my head. I've seen every MCU film, including FFH, but not all of the shows. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
Dwarf Fortress (art, fic):
Any
Dwarf Fortress DNW: Focus on sexual content or explicit humanoid/non-humanoid sex. Cat death as a result of direct dwarf action/cats as part of the meat/soap/leather industry. (Indirect kitten bombs unleashed on unsuspecting forgotten beasts: fine! Cats dying in glorious battle: also fine! Dwarves taking a direct hand in the catsplosion problem: not okay.)
Dwarf Fortress General DNW Exceptions: For the purposes of my DNWs, I am opting in to unhappy endings, permanent requested character death, and unrequited love. Go wild, here.
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
ALL: Fallout AU: Dwarf Fortress, but with vaults. Or maybe what would a post-apocalyptic Fallout-y Dwarf Fortress world look like?
ALL: Groundhog Day timeloop: A dwarf/overseer/other person is stuck in a Groundhog Day timeloop. What sort of day are they repeating? Is this because they dug too deep and now are stuck repeating an invasion from below? Is it a Bronze Colossi's visit over and over again? Is it a day that seemed innocuous the first time, but has led to a tantrum spiral on every day that's followed it?
Things I like about this canon and general canon promotion:
Dwarf Fortress is a (free!) simulation game with a steep learning curve, but a huge pay-off in highly entertaining emergent story-telling and weird dwarven decisions. This can include anything from new mothers in the military taking their babies into battle to use as shields to tantrum-throwing dwarves (upset that their babies are now full of arrows) destroying the whole fortress and killing everyone in it by hitting the lever to your "magma solves everything" doomsday device.
It's also coming to Steam!
I'm including in the links several comics that illustrate many of the best things about DF.
Links:
Dev site (includes download)
DF Wiki
Tim Denee's illustrated tale of Bronzemurder (includes transcript of comic's text)
Tim Denee's Oilfurnace (no transcript, spoilers for hidden fun stuff)
Three Panel Soul, "Bug Fix" (Illustrated patch notes, e.g. "Stopped vampires from pinning their crimes on children.")
Losing is fun!
I will never not love this game. When I first started playing it, it was a very different game than it is now, but it has only gotten better. I have embraced the mantra that losing is fun, discovered all the hidden fun stuff, and even managed attempts at mega projects and tried my hand at silly dwarf tricks. (Few survived the first several attempts at a magma-fall through the main dining room, but those few left were delighted at how neat it looked! ... For however long they lived after the ensuing grief stricken tantrum spiral. Apparently a magma fountain can only do so much.)
Other notes:
Whatever you want to write about, I am excited for fic in this fandom. If there's something I didn't nominate that you'd like to explore, I am throwing the gates wide open for both characters and freeforms. I am open to whatever so long as it follows my DNWs and has something that can apply to the freeform tag set.
Dragon Age (Hawke/Varric) (art, fic):
Dragon Age DNW: Permanent death of any of Hawke's companions or their household, including (especially) Dog. Actually, any death at all of Dog.
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
ALL: Soulmate AU: Hawke/Varric: soulmates. *___*
All: Soulmates Decided by the Angry Goose AU: Hawke/Varric: soulmates chosen by the angry goose, yesss, laughing forever. Is this a mage thing? A dwarf thing? An everyone thing? I want to know.
ALL: Soulmates share a talent; soulbonding makes it better
DA: Hawke Is Made Kirkwall's Viscount: Is this a disaster? Does Varric help?
DA: Hawke is the Inquisitor: I'm sure this has been done, but I would nevertheless like it again.
DA: Hawke Kills the Nightmare: Does this happen before or after the others escape? I just want Hawke to get a happy ending of some sort.
Things I like about this canon:
Not gonna lie, Varric is my fave. I am still disappointed I did not get to make Hawke/Varric be an in-game thing and will probably be torn between delight and indignation if we're ever allowed to romance him in future games. Hawke is an absolute disaster, and I can really appreciate that in a character. I love Hawke a lot is what I'm saying. Hawke/Varric is my OTP. DAII is probably still my favorite, but I love the 'verse and its many characters.
Other notes:
My favorite Hawke is purple mage Hawke, but I love all Hawkes, and you can choose whichever you please. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
Farscape (John Crichton) (art, fic):
Farscape DNW: Permanent character deaths of any of Moya's crew or Talos. Please let's live in an earlier, happier part of the show or somehow ignore later developments or have some sort of handwave-y "and then they came back."
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
ALL: Humans have a/b/o and alien races/societies do not: I'd especially love Crichton as an omega going into heat like, "This is perfectly normal," while everyone else is like ???? Maybe Rygel complains that Crichton smells worse now. Maybe Pilot lets everyone know Moya is actually really happy, because he's putting off more pheremones. Maybe he follows Aeryn around like a puppy, because she doesn't smell like an alpha, but that doesn't mean anything with aliens, right?
ALL: Fuck/Marry/Kill Is Sometimes Legally Binding: I would love Crichton accidentally blundering his way into marriage and an expected fight to the death because he failed to understand alien social norms.
Things I like about this canon:
For me, this is a show about weird adventures and found family and feelings about aliens. I love everyone in this bar.
Other notes:
I love all the characters. If you want to include ships, I like everything canon gave us and am open to anything else except Moya, Pilot, or Rigel ships. My OTP was probably Aeryn Sun/John Crichton, but I also saw the appeal of Crichton/Scorpius. For explicit fic, I don't care about who does what to whom.
The Librarians (Cassandra Cillian/Ezekiel Jones/Jacob Stone) (art, fic):
The Librarians DNW: Permanent named Librarians character death. Cassandra/Ezekiel/Jake as a v relationship (all three in love and/or attracted to each other, please!).
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
ALL: Groundhog Day timeloop
ALL: Groundhog Peggy Sue
ALL: Peggy-Sue
The Librarians: Cassandra Didn't Become a Librarian; Becomes Involved Anyway
The Librarians: Ezekiel Didn't Become a Librarian; Becomes Involved Anyway
The Librarians: Ezekiel Remembers the Video Game Time Loops
The Librarians: Jake Didn't Become a Librarian; Becomes Involved Anyway
Things I like about this canon: This show was so much fun and lighthearted and a joy. I loved best the weird things they got up to, but the characters (especially these three!) brought me a lot of joy, and I loved the way they all bounced off of each other. My favorite episodes were when Ezekiel kept resetting and was the only one who remembered they were caught in a video game and the one with the storybook town. I loved the marriage of absurdity with adventure and the joy of discovery.
Other notes: When it comes to explicit fic (or otherwise), I do not care who does what to whom.
Marvel Cinematic Universe (Tony/Tony, Nat/Tony, Fury/Tony) (art, fic):
Group: 2012!Tony Stark/2023!Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Natasha Romanov/Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Nick Fury/Tony Stark (MCU)
MCU DNWs: Peter/Tony poly involving people other than Peter or Tony (other poly is fine). Any mention of Peter Parker in a Tony ship fic that is not Tony/Peter. Contentious break-up between Tony and Pepper. (Options: poly if it doesn't include Peter/Tony, they never got back together post-Civil War, or they have an amicable break-up. If you want, you don't even need to mention it, and I will go with my reading of choice.) Morgan existing only to be erased from existence within the story (never existing in the first place in the story is fine). Death of anyone important to Peter or Tony (e.g. May, Pepper, Ned, Rhodey), except impermanent requested character death. Death at all of Goose. (Essentially: Requested characters can die in time loops that are reset or die and be resurrected in other ways, but please don't kill Tony or Peter's other loved ones or Goose at all.)
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
ALL: Alternate First Meeting--Woke Up Married
ALL: Alternate First Meetings
ALL: Characters Meet at a Different Point in Their Canon
ALL: Different First Meeting - Met Via Matchmaking Service
ALL: Fallout AU: My ideal of this story is one in which people still either have powers or equivalent stats and in which Tony still builds himself armor. I'd love it set at any point: immediately post-Fallout, one or both of them is a Vault dweller, a retelling of any of the games--whatever you want, I am making desperate grabby hands.
ALL: For a Small Subsection of the Population Regular Pollen Acts as Sex Pollen: I'd prefer everyone be into each other before allergy season strikes. :D
ALL: Fuck/Marry/Kill Is Sometimes Magically Binding
ALL: Groundhog Day timeloop
ALL: Groundhog Peggy Sue
ALL: Male character gets pregnant via consensual scientific experimentation
ALL: Peggy-Sue
ALL: Red String of Fate AU
ALL: Russian Doll Time Loop
ALL: Soulmate-Identifying Timers AU
ALL: Time Loop
MCU: 2023!Tony Is Caught By The 2012!Avengers
MCU: Soulmates Decided by Goose‚ the Angry Flerken
Things I like about this canon:
Super powers! Adventures! Tony Stark is a disaster, and I love him. Natasha and Fury are also longtime MCU faves, and they both have very different but great chemistry with Tony.
Other notes:
I have seen all of the MCU films. So long as you follow my DNWs, feel free to pull in anything from any of them or to ignore them at will. You could even pull in stuff from the comics or other Marvel properties if the fancy takes you, though I can't guarantee I'll get all your references. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
Some of the tags maybe don't seem like the best possible match for Tony/Tony, which is a symptom of requesting too many things without the space for new requests, but I'd love to see whatever you come up with! I may not have an idea for how it works, but I'm hoping you do. :D
Marvel Cinematic Universe (Peter/Tony) (art, fic):
MCU DNWs: Peter/Tony poly involving people other than Peter or Tony (other poly is fine). Any mention of Peter Parker in a Tony ship fic that is not Tony/Peter. Contentious break-up between Tony and Pepper. (For Peter/Tony and my infidelity DNW, I would like to point to: they never got back together post-Civil War or they have an amicable break-up. If you want, you don't even need to mention it, and I will go with my reading of choice.) Morgan existing only to be erased from existence within the story (never existing in the first place in the story is fine). Death of anyone important to Peter or Tony (e.g. May, Pepper, Ned, Rhodey), except impermanent requested character death. Death at all of Goose. (Essentially: Tony or Peter can die in time loops that are reset or die and be resurrected in other ways, but please don't kill Tony or Peter's other loved ones or Goose at all.)
DNW Explications:
Usually, I'm happy to receive poly, but for Peter/Tony, I do not want poly unless it is with more Peters or Tonys. Current canon relationships can be dealt with via amicable break-up or never having happened. You can also just not mention them, and I will happily go with my preferred reading. If you want to include Morgan, you can have her exist as either "two friends having a kid together" or go with "and then, despite having a kid together, Pepper and Tony did not work out." If she exists within the story, however, I do not want her subsequently erased from existence through time travel or other circumstances. Looking specifically at my "Time Travel Backward To Fix The Past Also Results In Unexpectedly Getting Married" prompt here, but just in general, too. It's also fine to have an AU without Morgan having existed in the first place. It's existing, then not that I'm trying to avoid here.
Regarding character death, Tony or Peter can die in time loops that are reset or die and be resurrected in other ways, but please don't kill their other loved ones at all. I'm fine if you want to include parts of Endgame happening so long as something happens to fix it (resurrection, a re-do, Tony miraculously survives.) I want all my requested characters alive at the end of the fic.
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
ALL: Alternate First Meeting--Woke Up Married
ALL: Everyone wakes up amnesiac on a spaceship
All: Everything Is The Same Except One Character Is A Tentacle Monster In A Human Skinsuit: I have one burning question, which is: which of them is the tentacle monster?
ALL: Fallout AU: My ideal of this story is one in which people still either have powers or equivalent stats (and for this specific one, in which Peter is still bitten by a radioactive spider) and in which Tony still builds himself armor. I'd love it set at any point: immediately post-Fallout, one or both of them is a Vault dweller, a retelling of any of the games--whatever you want, I am making desperate grabby hands.
ALL: For a Small Subsection of the Population Regular Pollen Acts as Sex Pollen: I'd prefer Peter be 18+ and everyone be into each other before allergy season strikes. :D
ALL: Fuck/Marry/Kill Is Sometimes Magically Binding: Copy-pasted from JM: : Everyone else knew better than to answer the shady mystical figure. Peter opened his big mouth and flippantly said, "Fuck Tony Stark, marry Tony Stark, kill Thor." So now he's stuck trying to kill Thor every time he shows up (Thor is having a great time! Peter shows spirit even when he's like, "wtf, no, I didn't actually want to kill you; you were just being unreasonably cheerful and attractive and Tony was checking out your ass.") and, uh, very much not trying to kill Tony except maybe a little death (Tony ... has very complicated feelings about this).
ALL: Groundhog Peggy Sue
ALL: Male character gets pregnant via consensual scientific experimentation
All: Mandatory marriage by a certain age: Tony's 50th is approaching, and he and Pepper aren't together. Maybe Peter volunteers as tribute. :D
ALL: Soulbonds convey immortality
ALL: Soulmates share a talent; soulbonding makes it better
ALL: Time Loop
ALL: Time Travel Backward To Fix The Past Results In Unexpectedly Getting Married
Marvel: Tony Stark Is a Secret Omega
Marvel: Yinsen Was a Necromancer; Tony Stark Is a Lich or Zombie
MCU: Civil War Happens when Peter Parker Is in College
MCU: Peter Actually Can Lay Eggs: I would especially love it if he lays them in Tony.
MCU: Soulmates Decided by Goose‚ the Angry Flerken
MCU: Tony Stark Doesn't Come Out as Iron Man
MCU: Tony Stark Doesn't Recruit Peter Parker for Civil War
Things I like about Peter/Tony:
I adore both of these characters, but I did not ship it until I watched this vid, at which point I was sold.
I enjoy mentor/protege relationships in general, but I think what I like the most about this, besides the setting and characters all taken individually, is the genuine affection they have for each other. Tony maybe has some unrealistic and unreasonable expectations for a fifteen year old ("I wanted you to be better"), complete with the lack of awareness from someone who was attending MIT at that age, but it's clear that he has high hopes for Peter from the very beginning and sees him as someone who can grow into a real hero. On Peter's side, he admires Tony not just as some distant idol, but as an actual person, and he seemed devastated at disappointing him. I love that in IW, Tony is able to describe in a handful of words what the problem is, and immediately Peter is on the same page. You can really see where they've gotten comfortable with each other, and I loved watching them really mesh on the fight scenes.
Whether it's platonic or otherwise, they click really well and have a really fun dynamic.
Other notes:
I have seen all of the MCU films. So long as you follow my DNWs, feel free to pull in anything from any of them or to ignore them at will. You could even pull in stuff from the comics or other Marvel properties if the fancy takes you, though I can't guarantee I'll get all your references. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
Men in Black (Agent M/Agent O) (art, fic):
MiB DNWs: Death of H or Pawny.
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
MiB: Flerken Are One of the Alien Races
MiB: M is tapped to be O's successor
ALL: Everyone wakes up amnesiac on a spaceship
ALL: Groundhog Day timeloop
ALL: Groundhog Peggy Sue
ALL: Time Loop
Things I like about this canon:
Sci-fi! The thrill of discovery! M would have been a shoo-in in the old days, and she still talks her way in anyway. I love her sense of wonder for the world and desire to know everything. I really enjoyed the new movie and I ship this pair like burning despite their limited screentime together.
Other notes:
I love all of the MiB characters. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
Naruto (Guy/Kakashi) (art, fic):
Naruto DNWs: Death of any summons animals or permanent death any of Kakashi's or Guy's teams, anything Boruto.
DNW explications:
Yes, I know where canon went wrt character death. Let's kick canon in the face or set things before that.
I have not read/seen Boruto and have no intention in doing so. No hate for it, just zero interest.
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
All: Character Tries to Woo and Honorably Marry Their Fellow Sex Pollen Victim
ALL: For a Small Subsection of the Population Regular Pollen Acts as Sex Pollen
ALL: Groundhog Day timeloop
ALL: Groundhog Peggy Sue
ALL: Peggy-Sue
ALL: Soulmate AU
ALL: Space Opera AU
ALL: Time Loop
Naruto: Kakashi adopts Naruto
Things I like about this ship/canon:
This is seriously one of my permanent OTPs. I love how they play off each other, the way they'll troll each other a little, but still hold genuine and abiding respect and affection for each other. I love their long history and how well they know each other. The setting itself is fun (battle wizard ninja! serious moments and silly shenanigans both!), but my greatest love is for the characters.
Other notes:
I go with the Guy writing/reading, but I don't mind anyone spelling it Gai instead. I'm not a huge fan of the end of the manga. You can feel free to ignore or include things from it at will so long as Neji doesn't die. If you just don't mention him, I will assume he is still alive and kicking around, so you don't need to directly contradict canon if you don't want to. I'm willing to do the heavy lifting in my head so long as you give me room to. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
In closing and because this bears repeating no matter the exchange:
My number one hope for my gift is that my gift creator has a good time with it, so let me emphasize again that I'm just happy that there will be more stuff for one of these fandoms. Whatever you end up doing, I'm hoping it's something you enjoy about the fandom and have fun making.
Have a happy AU Exchange! ♥
Also, as ever and always, I would like to emphasize, please don't feel obligated to read this letter in its entirety (or at all!). If you already have an idea of what you want to do from just the AO3 requests, go for it! This is all to (I hope) make it easier on you, and I am a big believer in optional details being optional. There being fic for my ships and fandoms will make me happy. Everything else is icing on delicious, delicious cake. Every single optional prompt/additional thought is very, very optional.
If I flub the letter writing and editing process and mention something in my letter that is not on AO3 and in my sign-ups or if I phrase something poorly, I'd also like to emphasize that that's on me and you're free to pretend you didn't see it (or to ask the mods if you're still concerned). My DNWs are all listed under DNWs in my optional details on AO3. If it's something not listed under DNWs, then that's a preference, but I'm still going to read/look at and comment on your fic and (if history is anything to judge) be really happy with it.
For ease of finding me: tuesday on AO3, everysecondtuesday on tumblr.
On past gifts: I've received works in the past for several of my requested fandoms, which I loved! I just want more. If you matched me on it, I am sure I will love whatever you make me, whether it's along the lines of the gifts I've already received or something entirely new.
On other gifts: I am always open to treats and late gifts. If I've requested it on an AO3 exchange, I still want it, even years later. I am also always open to art treats, even if the request is fic. Usually, I feel like I cannot come up with good art prompts or don't think my freeforms are convenient for it and thus don't request it, but if you have an idea already based on my likes, prompts, or freeforms, I am always open to art treats and would be thrilled to receive any. Same with vids on the outside chance there are ever people looking to treat those.
Recursive works: If you have authorial permission (blanket or otherwise), I do not mind recursive (fanwork of a fanwork) fic or art of past gifts, my own fic, or certain other beloved fic you know I've read. Specifically thinking of DoS thanks to a EAD conversation, but I'm sure there are others; you can always check through the mod, and I will do my best to get back to them quickly.
Format Likes: I like all ratings for works, from General Audiences to Explicit. For fic, I'm open to any length, from drabbles and drabble series to just over the min to sprawling epics. I like both traditional fic and non-traditional and experimental formats, including interactive fiction, CYOA, epistolary, and multimedia. I prefer past or present tense. I generally prefer third person (especially consistent third person limited where POV shift only happens in scene breaks or doesn't happen at all) or a match to canon (which in some cases is going to be first or second). (I'm open to everything! These are just preferences.)
Art Likes: I like rough sketches and clean line art both, bright and dark colors to set mood, comics, scenery, single and group character poses, the cute and the creepy. All stages, all skill levels, all types, I always like seeing what someone else comes up with. Go as E- or G-rated as you'd like. I especially like character expressions and things that set mood (color, body language, composition, etc).
Some non-explicit poses I especially like for ships are characters kissing (on the mouth, the temple, the top of the head, hands, the cheek, etc), holding hands, hugging, carrying each other (princess carry, fireman, piggyback, shoulder rides), and pressing their foreheads together. For explicit poses, feel free to take anything from my smut likes, but for something visual, I especially like bruises and marks, face touching, and hair-petting or pulling.
General Likes: worldbuilding, humor, horror, crack, canon-divergent AUs, other types of AUs (magic, cyberpunk, steampunk, regency, everyone lives, end of the world, sentinel and other fusions), IN SPACE, family and found family, friendship, machinations, intrigue, time travel, mysteries, time loops, magic, shenanigans, political negotiations, alliances of convenience, plot, developing relationships/friendships, character has the chance to re-do/relive events, reincarnation, mysteries, comedy of errors, competence, communication, codas, future fic.
Horror Likes: ghosts and ghost stories, monsters, isolation, trapped together, apocalypses and the post-apocalyptic life thereafter, murder mysteries, creeping horror, non-euclidean geometry and architecture, eldritch horrors, unethical experimentation, cannibalism (by choice or by necessity; knowing or unknowing), the undead, A.I. gone horribly wrong, A.I. gone horribly right, body horror, monkey's paws, artifacts of doom, mimics and people lures, plant monsters and killer horticulture, gallows humor.
Ship Likes: Soulmates and/or soul bonds. Alternate first meetings. Mutual pining. Didn't know they're dating, mistaken for dating, and fake dating. Undercover as a couple. Matchmaking and arranged marriages and courting. Friends to lovers. Extended courtships and whirlwind romance. Woke up married. Truth serum and trapped together and handcuffed together. Magic curses. Gestures of affection and intimacy. Firsts (dates, kisses, times).
Hurt/comfort: I have a whole host of freeforms I loved that I requested for hurt/comfort exchange + some thoughts on h/c at my h/c letter.
Smut Likes: all things vanilla, aftercare, anal with men on the receiving end (m/m, f->m, but not m->f or f/f), anal fingering with men on the receiving end (m/m, f->m, but not m->f or f/f), aphrodisiacs, bathing together, biting, blood play and/or still bleeding (characters roughed up from other causes and everyone still being dtf, especially), bondage/restraint (especially handcuffs, silk rope, ties or other things being repurposed, honor bondage), breath play, bruising, clothing kink, come-eating, cuddling, desperation, dirty talk, edging, electrostimulation, emotional sex/emotions during sex, enthusiastic consent, f/m pegging, face-fucking, face-sitting, face touching, first times (together or ever), for science!, frottage, gentleness, handholding, hair-petting, hair-pulling, held down, hickeys, hurt/comfort, impact play (but not as punishment), "inappropriate" use of magic/the Force/superpowers/technology, kissing, kneeling, laughter/joking around/banter during sex, loyalty kink, making out, manhandling, marking, masochism, massage, mating cycles/in heat (please all parties into each other beforehand), mentor/protege, multiple orgasms, object insertion, omega-verse, oral sex, overstimulation, oviposition, pain play, pervertibles, praise kink, robot sex, rimming (clean only), rushed sex, scent-marking, service kink, sensation play, sex pollen, sounding, switching, sugar daddy kink (but not use of the word "daddy"/daddy kink), tenderness, toys, trust, voice kink, voyeurism (consensual only), vulnerability.
If you'd like more thoughts on smut likes or to see prompts and freeforms I've requested in the past, I wrote a letter for smut swap.
If you're still looking for additional ideas, I also requested a bunch of freeforms I love for Just Married and Pining Exchange and included some prompts for some of them.
Art Notes: Not all these freeform tags are great as art prompts unless you want to do a full comic, but if there's one that catches your eye that you don't think you can fully encompass in the space of one drawing, I want to emphasize that I'd be perfectly happy with an illustration of a scene from an unwritten story or a comic book style cover or what-have-you. I'd be super happy with Hawke facing down the Nightmare with Varric looking over his shoulder in the background or Tony with a red thread of fate connecting him to [other person in ship] or M and O waking up together with a spaceship-y background. I don't need the full story, just however much you're willing to provide, whether that's a portrait of my faves or something more ambitious.
Freeform Notes: I loved all the freeform tags I'm requesting. I only have thoughts and prompts for some of them, but please feel free to take the tag itself as a prompt or rifle through my likes for inspiration.
General DNWs:
-Hopelessly unhappy endings.
-Unrequested permanent requested character death.
-Suicidal ideation.
-Focus on unrequested serious illness.
-Graphic eye trauma.
-Anything to do with nonfictional religions, organized crime, prisons, slavery, sex work, or which would involve student/school teacher.
-AUs in which canon universes with fantastical elements (magic, chakra, super powers, the Force) have said fantastical elements removed without anything equivalent to replace it and are turned entirely mundane.
-Art with strobing effects/rapid bright flashing lights.
Ship DNWs:
-Infidelity, characters thinking they're engaged in infidelity, or major focus on/long scenes in which characters think the other character is being unfaithful.
-Focus on unrequested ships. (Presence of background or minor unrequested ships that do not contradict other DNWs is fine!)
-Underage romantic or sexual relationships.
-Actually unrequited love between requested / ship (characters can think it is, but I would like them to be wrong).
-Manipulation of a romantic or sexual partner (or prospective one).
Smut DNWs:
-Unrequested dub- or non-con or rape play (for dubcon likes or prompts, I'd prefer all parties to already be into each other in cases where consent is affected).
-Contract or 24/7 BDSM or use of the word "master."
-The spelling "cum" (as opposed to "come").
-Anything to do with bodily elimination.
-Mommy/daddy kink (and any use of the words "mommy" or "daddy" or related in a sexual or romantic connotation).
-Sex acts as a punishment or deliberate humiliation and degradation.
-Serious or permanent injury arising from a sex act.
-Age play. Bestiality, animal play (e.g. puppy play), or furries.
-m->f or f/f anal.
DNW Clarifications and Explications:
Hopelessly unhappy endings: I'd prefer either a happy ending or the sense that there's a roadmap to get there.
Unrequested permanent requested character death: Impermanent requested character death is fine and baked into a few of my likes and canons. I would like all requested characters to be alive at the end of the story unless the prompt/freeform actually goes there. Wrt Endgame, you can set things pre-canon events, have them miraculously survive, have canon diverge, etc., and I will take it.
Graphic eye trauma: Non-descriptive references are fine.
Nonfictional religions, organized crime, prisons, slavery, sex work: If one of these is part of a canon background, I do not mind passing mention of it. I do not want a story centered around these elements, like organized crime or sex worker AUs, canon divergence in which Fenris remains a slave or a fic set in Tevinter focused on slavery, etc. (Because it's mentioned in the same line: I do not want student/school teacher even in passing mention and have not requested anything where I think it could come up.)
Mundane AUs: I'd like 'verses with fantastical elements to keep those elements or equivalents thereof. For something like a coffee shop AU, Hawke is either still a mage or still has a mage sister. For something like an in space AU that's not canon divergent, Tony Stark still builds tech leagues ahead of everyone else and Peter still got superpowers.
Infidelity etc.: Poly outside of MCU Peter/Tony is fine. (In my sign-up and the fandom section, though, it is a definite DNW in MCU for Peter/Tony.) I don't want anyone confused on the fact that it is poly, not cheating. In general, my major concern is to avoid a) definitely cheating in any direction, b) something in which one part of the ship thinks the other part is in a closed relationship and that's what the main ship is engaging in, c) something in which one half of a closed relationship believes the other is cheating on them and we the audience are likely to also think that's what's going on and which comprises a major, ongoing part of the story as opposed to something brief and mistaken.
Underage romantic or sexual relationships: Everyone in a relationship should be 18+, please. For something like Peter/Tony, you can go with a) setting a fic later, b) feelings that aren't currently going to be realized, c) aging up within the setting/everything stays the same, but Peter is older, d) time travel shenanigans, e) something else I haven't thought of, but maybe you have.
Actually unrequited love between requested / ships: Characters can think it is, but I would like them to be wrong.
Unrequested dub- or non-con or rape play: You're fine to include dubcon from my current likes or requests from this year's smut swap or h/c exchange letters. I'd prefer anything with consent affected (e.g. sex pollen, aphrodisiacs) for all characters involved in sex to already be into each other. I do not want non-con or rape play.
Contract or 24/7 BDSM or use of the word "master": Mentioning this because I have a lot of BDSM-related or adjacent likes. It wouldn't ruin my night or fic, but I'm not super into the formalized contract thing or it being the focus of a relationship/what the relationship is primarily about, and I don't want to accidentally set any traps for my author. I'm fine with and enjoy non-formalized play, with people having fun with pain, bondage, some power dynamics (e.g. Peter calling Tony "Mr. Stark" in bed), etc.
Bodily elimination: This is a smut DNW. You are obviously fine to reference people needing to use the restroom and generally having biological urges as is necessary for the story. I'd just like the rare golden showers works to go to someone who will be guaranteed to appreciate them rather than someone who is super picky about them.
Sex acts as a punishment, deliberate humiliation, degradation: I like everyone being into an act or at least interested in trying it. I only want sexual pain or injuries (spanking, caning, etc.) as something someone is opting into, please. Accidental or situational humiliation (especially in cases where one party tries to ease this for the other party if/when they notice) is fine. Degradation and pejoratives for a partner (e.g. "filthy slut") are something I'm really not into, even if the partner is enthusiastic about it.
M->f or f/f anal: I do not want women on the receiving end of anal, please. This is another mentioning it because of adjacent likes things. Anal sex in which men are the receiving partner are a like, but I'm not interested in reading about it for women unless they're on the giving end and only on the giving end.
Serious or permanent injury arising from a sex act: Rough sex is a-okay, as is soreness, bruises, marks, puffiness, things being oversensitized or raw, and more minor injuries. Something that causes serious concern about permanent damage or life-threatening injury or anything with genital tearing is beyond my level of interest. Serious or life-threatening injury outside of a sexual context is also fine.
Crossover Fandom (Tony/Tony) (art, fic):
Group: Tony Stark (616)/Tony Stark (Ultimates)
Group: Tony Stark (616)/Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Tony Stark (616)/Tony Stark (MCU)/Tony Stark (Ultimates)
Group Tony Stark (MCU)/Tony Stark (Ultimates)
Crossover DNWS: Permanent death of any MCU hero characters or non-canon deaths of their friends or family. Contentious break up of MCU Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Any mention of MCU Peter Parker in a MCU Tony ship fic that is not Tony/Peter. Hydra!Cap. MCU Morgan Stark existing for this set of prompts/requests if MCU Tony is dimension hopping. (It is too sad to me for Tony to be potentially permanently separated from his daughter when what I want to focus on is adventures and/or flirting.)
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
-ALL: Dimension travel: This is pretty much a free space. Who's doing the traveling? Why? Is it on purpose or accidental?
-ALL: Male character gets pregnant via consensual scientific experimentation: I would love Tony's reaction to a very pregnant other Tony.
-Crossover: Using the Infinity Gauntlet Sends Tony Stark Elsewhere: Another free space, but with Infinity Gauntlets.
Things I like about this canon:
I feel like there's a whole list of things I like and that drive me up a wall about comics, but one thing I do love about the specific comics and characters I'm requesting is: Tony Stark. Same with the MCU. You can probably tell by the fact that I am requesting two of him. These Tonys are all rather different, but I love them all a lot. They try their best and keep getting back up no matter what life throws at them. They're smart, driven, and (sometimes despite their best efforts) care deeply. They're also kind of disasters in the best possible way.
Now I would like them to kiss, please. /o\
Other notes: I have not read every bit of comics canon (there is ... so much), but I'm okay with missing a reference if you're okay with including it. I have no preference for when in a (or which) timeline something takes part. You can handwave away any and all the MCU hero character deaths however you like or just not mention them, and I will do so in my head. I've seen every MCU film, including FFH, but not all of the shows. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
Crossover Fandom (Dragon Age/MCU ships) (art, fic):

Group: Dorian Pavus (Dragon Age) & Hawke (Dragon Age)/Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Hawke (Dragon Age)/Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Dorian Pavus (Dragon Age) & Hawke (Dragon Age) & Tony Stark (MCU)
Dragon Age/MCU DNWs: Permanent death of any MCU hero characters or non-canon deaths of their friends or family. Contentious break up of MCU Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Any mention of MCU Peter Parker in a MCU Tony ship fic that is not Tony/Peter. Permanent death of any of Hawke's companions or their household, including (especially) Dog. Any death at all of Dog. MCU Morgan Stark existing for this set of prompts/requests. (It is too sad to me for Tony to be potentially permanently separated from his daughter when what I want to focus on is Thedas adventures and/or flirting.)
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
-Crossover: Using the Infinity Gauntlet Sends Tony Stark Elsewhere: In this case, to Thedas. :D :D :D When does he arrive? Where does he arrive? Is he mistaken for a demon, abomination, or an apostate?
-DAMCU: Tony Stark falls through a rift and lands in Thedas: *points up*
-DAMCU: Tony Stark is the Inquisitor: Tony is the one who falls out of that first rift. How does this work out for him? :D
Things I like about this canon:
I love magic and super powers and all the characters I'm requesting. They're all kind of a disaster in the best way. I think they would get along like a house on fire if they don't end up actually setting fire to said house. The thought of how Tony would react to Thedas, with its entirely different set of rules is one that fills me with delight. Even if you just want to go with straight up flirting or explicit fic, I think it would be a lot of fun to see these characters interact.
Other notes: If you matched on or include a Hawke, my favorite Hawke is purple mage Hawke, but I love all Hawkes, and you can choose whichever you please. For MCU, I have no preference for when in a (or which) timeline something takes part. You can handwave away any and all the hero character deaths however you like or just not mention them, and I will do so in my head. I've seen every MCU film, including FFH, but not all of the shows. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
Dwarf Fortress (art, fic):
Any
Dwarf Fortress DNW: Focus on sexual content or explicit humanoid/non-humanoid sex. Cat death as a result of direct dwarf action/cats as part of the meat/soap/leather industry. (Indirect kitten bombs unleashed on unsuspecting forgotten beasts: fine! Cats dying in glorious battle: also fine! Dwarves taking a direct hand in the catsplosion problem: not okay.)
Dwarf Fortress General DNW Exceptions: For the purposes of my DNWs, I am opting in to unhappy endings, permanent requested character death, and unrequited love. Go wild, here.
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
ALL: Fallout AU: Dwarf Fortress, but with vaults. Or maybe what would a post-apocalyptic Fallout-y Dwarf Fortress world look like?
ALL: Groundhog Day timeloop: A dwarf/overseer/other person is stuck in a Groundhog Day timeloop. What sort of day are they repeating? Is this because they dug too deep and now are stuck repeating an invasion from below? Is it a Bronze Colossi's visit over and over again? Is it a day that seemed innocuous the first time, but has led to a tantrum spiral on every day that's followed it?
Things I like about this canon and general canon promotion:
Dwarf Fortress is a (free!) simulation game with a steep learning curve, but a huge pay-off in highly entertaining emergent story-telling and weird dwarven decisions. This can include anything from new mothers in the military taking their babies into battle to use as shields to tantrum-throwing dwarves (upset that their babies are now full of arrows) destroying the whole fortress and killing everyone in it by hitting the lever to your "magma solves everything" doomsday device.
It's also coming to Steam!
I'm including in the links several comics that illustrate many of the best things about DF.
Links:
Dev site (includes download)
DF Wiki
Tim Denee's illustrated tale of Bronzemurder (includes transcript of comic's text)
Tim Denee's Oilfurnace (no transcript, spoilers for hidden fun stuff)
Three Panel Soul, "Bug Fix" (Illustrated patch notes, e.g. "Stopped vampires from pinning their crimes on children.")
Losing is fun!
I will never not love this game. When I first started playing it, it was a very different game than it is now, but it has only gotten better. I have embraced the mantra that losing is fun, discovered all the hidden fun stuff, and even managed attempts at mega projects and tried my hand at silly dwarf tricks. (Few survived the first several attempts at a magma-fall through the main dining room, but those few left were delighted at how neat it looked! ... For however long they lived after the ensuing grief stricken tantrum spiral. Apparently a magma fountain can only do so much.)
Other notes:
Whatever you want to write about, I am excited for fic in this fandom. If there's something I didn't nominate that you'd like to explore, I am throwing the gates wide open for both characters and freeforms. I am open to whatever so long as it follows my DNWs and has something that can apply to the freeform tag set.
Dragon Age (Hawke/Varric) (art, fic):
Dragon Age DNW: Permanent death of any of Hawke's companions or their household, including (especially) Dog. Actually, any death at all of Dog.
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
ALL: Soulmate AU: Hawke/Varric: soulmates. *___*
All: Soulmates Decided by the Angry Goose AU: Hawke/Varric: soulmates chosen by the angry goose, yesss, laughing forever. Is this a mage thing? A dwarf thing? An everyone thing? I want to know.
ALL: Soulmates share a talent; soulbonding makes it better
DA: Hawke Is Made Kirkwall's Viscount: Is this a disaster? Does Varric help?
DA: Hawke is the Inquisitor: I'm sure this has been done, but I would nevertheless like it again.
DA: Hawke Kills the Nightmare: Does this happen before or after the others escape? I just want Hawke to get a happy ending of some sort.
Things I like about this canon:
Not gonna lie, Varric is my fave. I am still disappointed I did not get to make Hawke/Varric be an in-game thing and will probably be torn between delight and indignation if we're ever allowed to romance him in future games. Hawke is an absolute disaster, and I can really appreciate that in a character. I love Hawke a lot is what I'm saying. Hawke/Varric is my OTP. DAII is probably still my favorite, but I love the 'verse and its many characters.
Other notes:
My favorite Hawke is purple mage Hawke, but I love all Hawkes, and you can choose whichever you please. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
Farscape (John Crichton) (art, fic):
Farscape DNW: Permanent character deaths of any of Moya's crew or Talos. Please let's live in an earlier, happier part of the show or somehow ignore later developments or have some sort of handwave-y "and then they came back."
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
ALL: Humans have a/b/o and alien races/societies do not: I'd especially love Crichton as an omega going into heat like, "This is perfectly normal," while everyone else is like ???? Maybe Rygel complains that Crichton smells worse now. Maybe Pilot lets everyone know Moya is actually really happy, because he's putting off more pheremones. Maybe he follows Aeryn around like a puppy, because she doesn't smell like an alpha, but that doesn't mean anything with aliens, right?
ALL: Fuck/Marry/Kill Is Sometimes Legally Binding: I would love Crichton accidentally blundering his way into marriage and an expected fight to the death because he failed to understand alien social norms.
Things I like about this canon:
For me, this is a show about weird adventures and found family and feelings about aliens. I love everyone in this bar.
Other notes:
I love all the characters. If you want to include ships, I like everything canon gave us and am open to anything else except Moya, Pilot, or Rigel ships. My OTP was probably Aeryn Sun/John Crichton, but I also saw the appeal of Crichton/Scorpius. For explicit fic, I don't care about who does what to whom.
The Librarians (Cassandra Cillian/Ezekiel Jones/Jacob Stone) (art, fic):
The Librarians DNW: Permanent named Librarians character death. Cassandra/Ezekiel/Jake as a v relationship (all three in love and/or attracted to each other, please!).
Tags (extra prompts super optional, feel free to ignore):
ALL: Groundhog Day timeloop

Things I like about this canon: This show was so much fun and lighthearted and a joy. I loved best the weird things they got up to, but the characters (especially these three!) brought me a lot of joy, and I loved the way they all bounced off of each other. My favorite episodes were when Ezekiel kept resetting and was the only one who remembered they were caught in a video game and the one with the storybook town. I loved the marriage of absurdity with adventure and the joy of discovery.
Other notes: When it comes to explicit fic (or otherwise), I do not care who does what to whom.
Marvel Cinematic Universe (Tony/Tony, Nat/Tony, Fury/Tony) (art, fic):
Group: 2012!Tony Stark/2023!Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Natasha Romanov/Tony Stark (MCU)
Group: Nick Fury/Tony Stark (MCU)
MCU DNWs: Peter/Tony poly involving people other than Peter or Tony (other poly is fine). Any mention of Peter Parker in a Tony ship fic that is not Tony/Peter. Contentious break-up between Tony and Pepper. (Options: poly if it doesn't include Peter/Tony, they never got back together post-Civil War, or they have an amicable break-up. If you want, you don't even need to mention it, and I will go with my reading of choice.) Morgan existing only to be erased from existence within the story (never existing in the first place in the story is fine). Death of anyone important to Peter or Tony (e.g. May, Pepper, Ned, Rhodey), except impermanent requested character death. Death at all of Goose. (Essentially: Requested characters can die in time loops that are reset or die and be resurrected in other ways, but please don't kill Tony or Peter's other loved ones or Goose at all.)

Things I like about this canon:
Super powers! Adventures! Tony Stark is a disaster, and I love him. Natasha and Fury are also longtime MCU faves, and they both have very different but great chemistry with Tony.
Other notes:
I have seen all of the MCU films. So long as you follow my DNWs, feel free to pull in anything from any of them or to ignore them at will. You could even pull in stuff from the comics or other Marvel properties if the fancy takes you, though I can't guarantee I'll get all your references. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
Some of the tags maybe don't seem like the best possible match for Tony/Tony, which is a symptom of requesting too many things without the space for new requests, but I'd love to see whatever you come up with! I may not have an idea for how it works, but I'm hoping you do. :D
Marvel Cinematic Universe (Peter/Tony) (art, fic):
MCU DNWs: Peter/Tony poly involving people other than Peter or Tony (other poly is fine). Any mention of Peter Parker in a Tony ship fic that is not Tony/Peter. Contentious break-up between Tony and Pepper. (For Peter/Tony and my infidelity DNW, I would like to point to: they never got back together post-Civil War or they have an amicable break-up. If you want, you don't even need to mention it, and I will go with my reading of choice.) Morgan existing only to be erased from existence within the story (never existing in the first place in the story is fine). Death of anyone important to Peter or Tony (e.g. May, Pepper, Ned, Rhodey), except impermanent requested character death. Death at all of Goose. (Essentially: Tony or Peter can die in time loops that are reset or die and be resurrected in other ways, but please don't kill Tony or Peter's other loved ones or Goose at all.)
DNW Explications:
Usually, I'm happy to receive poly, but for Peter/Tony, I do not want poly unless it is with more Peters or Tonys. Current canon relationships can be dealt with via amicable break-up or never having happened. You can also just not mention them, and I will happily go with my preferred reading. If you want to include Morgan, you can have her exist as either "two friends having a kid together" or go with "and then, despite having a kid together, Pepper and Tony did not work out." If she exists within the story, however, I do not want her subsequently erased from existence through time travel or other circumstances. Looking specifically at my "Time Travel Backward To Fix The Past Also Results In Unexpectedly Getting Married" prompt here, but just in general, too. It's also fine to have an AU without Morgan having existed in the first place. It's existing, then not that I'm trying to avoid here.
Regarding character death, Tony or Peter can die in time loops that are reset or die and be resurrected in other ways, but please don't kill their other loved ones at all. I'm fine if you want to include parts of Endgame happening so long as something happens to fix it (resurrection, a re-do, Tony miraculously survives.) I want all my requested characters alive at the end of the fic.

ALL: Alternate First Meeting--Woke Up Married
ALL: Everyone wakes up amnesiac on a spaceship
All: Everything Is The Same Except One Character Is A Tentacle Monster In A Human Skinsuit: I have one burning question, which is: which of them is the tentacle monster?
ALL: Fallout AU: My ideal of this story is one in which people still either have powers or equivalent stats (and for this specific one, in which Peter is still bitten by a radioactive spider) and in which Tony still builds himself armor. I'd love it set at any point: immediately post-Fallout, one or both of them is a Vault dweller, a retelling of any of the games--whatever you want, I am making desperate grabby hands.
ALL: For a Small Subsection of the Population Regular Pollen Acts as Sex Pollen: I'd prefer Peter be 18+ and everyone be into each other before allergy season strikes. :D
ALL: Fuck/Marry/Kill Is Sometimes Magically Binding: Copy-pasted from JM: : Everyone else knew better than to answer the shady mystical figure. Peter opened his big mouth and flippantly said, "Fuck Tony Stark, marry Tony Stark, kill Thor." So now he's stuck trying to kill Thor every time he shows up (Thor is having a great time! Peter shows spirit even when he's like, "wtf, no, I didn't actually want to kill you; you were just being unreasonably cheerful and attractive and Tony was checking out your ass.") and, uh, very much not trying to kill Tony except maybe a little death (Tony ... has very complicated feelings about this).

Things I like about Peter/Tony:
I adore both of these characters, but I did not ship it until I watched this vid, at which point I was sold.
I enjoy mentor/protege relationships in general, but I think what I like the most about this, besides the setting and characters all taken individually, is the genuine affection they have for each other. Tony maybe has some unrealistic and unreasonable expectations for a fifteen year old ("I wanted you to be better"), complete with the lack of awareness from someone who was attending MIT at that age, but it's clear that he has high hopes for Peter from the very beginning and sees him as someone who can grow into a real hero. On Peter's side, he admires Tony not just as some distant idol, but as an actual person, and he seemed devastated at disappointing him. I love that in IW, Tony is able to describe in a handful of words what the problem is, and immediately Peter is on the same page. You can really see where they've gotten comfortable with each other, and I loved watching them really mesh on the fight scenes.
Whether it's platonic or otherwise, they click really well and have a really fun dynamic.

Things I like about this canon:
Sci-fi! The thrill of discovery! M would have been a shoo-in in the old days, and she still talks her way in anyway. I love her sense of wonder for the world and desire to know everything. I really enjoyed the new movie and I ship this pair like burning despite their limited screentime together.
Other notes:
I love all of the MiB characters. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
Naruto (Guy/Kakashi) (art, fic):
Naruto DNWs: Death of any summons animals or permanent death any of Kakashi's or Guy's teams, anything Boruto.
DNW explications:
Yes, I know where canon went wrt character death. Let's kick canon in the face or set things before that.
I have not read/seen Boruto and have no intention in doing so. No hate for it, just zero interest.

Naruto: Kakashi adopts Naruto
Things I like about this ship/canon:
This is seriously one of my permanent OTPs. I love how they play off each other, the way they'll troll each other a little, but still hold genuine and abiding respect and affection for each other. I love their long history and how well they know each other. The setting itself is fun (battle wizard ninja! serious moments and silly shenanigans both!), but my greatest love is for the characters.
Other notes:
I go with the Guy writing/reading, but I don't mind anyone spelling it Gai instead. I'm not a huge fan of the end of the manga. You can feel free to ignore or include things from it at will so long as Neji doesn't die. If you just don't mention him, I will assume he is still alive and kicking around, so you don't need to directly contradict canon if you don't want to. I'm willing to do the heavy lifting in my head so long as you give me room to. When it comes to explicit fic, I have no strong preferences for who does a thing to whom.
In closing and because this bears repeating no matter the exchange:
My number one hope for my gift is that my gift creator has a good time with it, so let me emphasize again that I'm just happy that there will be more stuff for one of these fandoms. Whatever you end up doing, I'm hoping it's something you enjoy about the fandom and have fun making.
Have a happy AU Exchange! ♥
