Dear FIAB Creator,

Thank you so much for creating for me! I hope that you have a good time making your assignment or treat. Please don't feel obligated to write to any of my prompts; going after my likes is great, too.

General Likes

I enjoy fic of any rating. I know explicit fic covers a large part of my output, but that's just how my brain goes for ideas and doesn't reflect all the things that I like reading. There are some canons where I really enjoy gen and not just shipfic.
For canon queer ships, I like fics set in post-canon exploring what happens with the ship after the end of the story.
Alternate universes. I love them, the weirder and more specific the better. However, there are some AUs I don't like, and for these please see my Do Not Wants section. For some AU ideas:
- I like genre changes, canon divergence, going into neat details about specific jobs (provided the job isn't the entire focus of the fic), and modern AUs in general, but there's so much potential for AUs I can't say this comes anywhere near to covering everything I'd like. What I love best about an AU is when it connects to canon in a way that I wouldn't have expected, but makes perfect sense when it arrives. I'm not into time loops or time travel very much, though.
I absolutely adore horror. However, I don't like when characters in a requested ship get an unhappy ending, though you're free to kill off all the side characters or OCs that you want.
- For types of horror, I enjoy: supernatural horror, vampires, suspenseful horror, psychological horror, and eldritch horror. I'm not really into ghosts, though. Things getting bloody is cool.
I like scenarios where a couple is isolated from others and have to work together to survive.
Characters getting into a 'fast burn' type relationship is cool, where they get together quickly, passionately, and carnally.
I'm into headcanoning characters whose sexuality is ambiguous or never stated as gay. If you're writing a character in a requested ship who's shown interest in the opposite sex in canon and none in the same sex, I prefer they be made bi/pan.
I like descriptions of food and cooking in a non-sexual context.
I enjoy humor and fic that's just exploring a character or relationship.
I love established relationship fics.
I like hurt/comfort with ships, but not sickfic for something as minor as a cold. A fever so high that a character gets delirious is good. Tending injuries is great, as is a character going through some sort of tremendous distress and being comforted afterwards. I'm into caretaking in general. Please no hospitalization of any sort or cancer, though.
Smut is always excellent and PWP is welcome. The sex I best like to read has a lot of enthusiasm from both sides. The sex doesn't have to be flawlessly amazing but everyone is having fun.
- I like when characters are fixed in who tops and who bottoms during penetrative sex. However, while I like fixed top/bottom dynamics in a ship, that doesn't extend to what I want with characterization or their relationship dynamics in general. Write the character personalities and ship dynamics however you interpret them! I don't like mentions of switching positions, whether it's in the past or something a character is thinking about wanting.
- I particularly like reading anal and I've specified who I want to top in each ship's section. However, if you're more enthusiastic about writing a blowjob or handjob or something, feel free to go for it! I'd rather you be able to enjoy yourself and I like reading those kinds of sex too. If you write a BJ, I prefer that a character spits rather than swallows. An eager BJ as foreplay where the giver is getting off is a like of mine. Gagging can be hot as long as it doesn’t come close to vomiting.
- If you want to add a kink to a scene, I love semi-clothed sex, dry humping as foreplay, crossdressing, and non-degrading dirty talk. I don't care about if it's the top or bottom crossdressing, either is great! Hell, make them both crossdress. I would prefer that no one be embarrassed about the crossdressing. For dirty talk, calling a character a slut or a whore is fine, provided it's not meant to hurt or degrade the person.
- I'm not picky about the come/cum debate, spell it however your heart desires. You can get raunchy in your sexual descriptions or keep things tasteful.
- Creampies are hot, but felching is a do not want for me.
- Big dicks are fun and I don't care if it's on the top or bottom. Please no dick size comparisons between the characters, like "A's cock was long and thin, and B's dick was short and thick."
- Power bottoms are hot, but I also love a classic pillow princess. If a character just wants to lie there, contribute nothing, and get pounded, good for them!
If you write a transmasc character, I only like T4T/when the transmasc character is paired with another transmasc character. Transmasc includes masc nonbinary characters. The kind of fic about transmasc characters that I really like has no emphasis on trans identity, how trans bodies are different from cis bodies, and no one sees a trans guy as different from a cis guy in any way that matters. I really like stone tops, but I can also enjoy tops who get off/orgasm. I like reading about tops who’ve had phalloplasty; however, it’s not a requirement.
- I prefer that AMAB words be used for genitals. ‘Front hole’ being used in place of typical words for a vagina, like pussy/cunt etc, is preferred. ‘Boypussy’ is OK to use.
- I prefer when transmasc characters either bind or have had top surgery. Please see my do not wants and sex-related DNWs for more info on what I would not like written.
Going on long trips is fun, whether that's by foot, car, train, whatever vehicle you like.
I like fics where characters have to solve a mystery.
I enjoy reading men being described as pretty/feminine, provided there are no references to breasts or fertility (for example, saying a man has 'childbearing hips' is a do not want for me).
ROMANCE. Give me my ship being loving in whatever way they tend to show their love and I'll be so happy.
Write in whatever POV or tense you like; however, I would prefer no smut in 2nd person, script format, or chat/Twitter fics.

General Do Not Wants

Permanent disabling injury of requested characters or any hospitalization for mental illness. Temporary horrible injuries are welcome and I like eye injury. Prior canon disabling injuries are fine to include.
Death of any character in a requested ship. Canonical deaths and OC deaths are fine.
The following alternate universe settings:
- Coffee shop, police, mafia, university, Harry Potter, wingfic, BDSM, serial killer, mermaid, high school, omegaverse, genderswap.
Chatfic, Twitter fic, script format, or porn in 2nd person POV.
I don't want alternate universe fics besides canon divergence for Star Control.
Pregnancy of any sort in anyone, including mentions. Focus on characters under 18 or who are minors according to their species. Talk of fertility or lactation.
Asexual or aromantic characters in a requested ship.
Angst about aging/lifespan differences.
Hospitalization or cancer.
Unrequested unhappy endings for requested ships.
Crossovers and fusions.
One-sided relationships where only one character has feelings for the other.
Pairings that include a cis character and a transmasc character unless explicitly requested. Transmasc includes masc nonbinary characters. Writing a relationship between transmasc characters with the same kind of genitals is just fine.
- I prefer that AMAB terms and the word ‘front hole’ be used in sex scenes involving trans men and that there be no emphasis on how a trans body is different from a cis body. Transmasc characters who don’t bind or haven’t had top surgery is also a do not want. Please see my likes for more info on how I like transmasc characters written.
Negotiation about consent or kinks. I want everyone to be on the same page, but discussion, traffic lights, or safewords are not needed.
Noncon/rape or rape play. Characters under 18 or who are minors according to their species having sex.
Domestic abuse. Slavery.
Trans Mithrun or trans Kabru, as well as any implications that Mithrun having sex is automatically noncon or dubcon. I also don't want Mithrun as a tallman (elf Kabru is fine), Kabru/Rin, or more than mentions of Laios.
Polyamory/OT3s/open relationships. Unrequested non-canon side pairings. Infidelity. Breaking up. Exes to lovers.
Focus on an M/F (male/female) relationship. Brief mentions of canon ones are fine.
Fic focusing on gender dysphoria or identity, misogyny, racism, homophobia, sexual identity, transphobia, mental illness (depression and PTSD are OK to explore), or self-harm.
Cat harm.
I like fixed top/bottom dynamics when it comes to a ship having penetrative sex and I don't like references to a ship ever switching positions in the past or future. I don't consider top/bottom dynamics as extending to characterization or relationship dynamics as a whole. I'm fine with a character who bottoms taking more of a 'dominant' role during sex, but I also like a classic pillow princess.
Sex-related Do Not Wants: mentions of body hair, anal sex without lube (spit's ok), rimming, foot kink, frotting, ass to mouth, small dicks, characters who top being penetrated anally or vaginally by anything (this includes fingers, dicks, dildos, etc.), transmasc characters who bottom being vaginally penetrated unless it’s with fingers or a phallo/tdick, felching, pee, erectile dysfunction, anal bleeding/tearing, heats/ruts, daddy kink, fisting, belly bulges/stuffing/inflation/feeder kink, enemas, and sounding.

Top/Bottom Do Not Wants: Top Vyn, Top Aarya, Top Mithrun

Chronicles of Tal'Dun: The Remainder

Erastros/Vyn

This is absolutely one of my favorite games, if not my favorite visual novel. The plot is so good, I love the structure of the player learning more and more by dying and then finally reaching sublimation and being able to withstand the various truth whammies that come in. I love how the initial plot is "you wake up in a tower with amnesia, there's a horrible growing void, and also the only person who can help you really fucking dislikes you." PLEASE IF YOU ARE INTRIGUED BY THIS GAME DO NOT READ FURTHER BECAUSE ERASTROS IS A HUGE SPOILER. Anyway, watch me try to not completely reveal stuff with my request.

I'd love post-canon stuff about what Vyn and Erastros get up to! I think there's lots of opportunity for neat alternate universe or canon divergence stuff as well, provided that the central setup of Erastros taking over Ilar's body/memories is preserved. Anything that's really building on the camaraderie they shared during the game would be great. Make Erastros even more emotional! Make them cry (more)! Also making Vyn cry would be a win. Crying: a win. Feel free to further explore some of the darker worldbuilding that's going on in the story, if you like. You could also include Fuzzpants! Maybe xie will eventually learn to trust Erastros (probably not).

If you want, you can include flashbacks to the past with Ilar, whether from Vyn's POV or Erastros's.

If you write sex between Erastros and Vyn, I'd prefer that they both be AMAB, but Vyn can be cis male or non-binary AMAB. I'd also prefer that Erastros top if they have anal sex. They're so subby and tearful that I just NEED them to top Vyn.

If you want more inspo, here are some tags I liked from Multifandom Trope Fest that I think would fit them:

Forced Proximity - Stranded Together & Have To Rely On Each Other To Survive, Horror - Horror with a Happy Ending, Case Fic - exploring strange ancient ruins

Here are some tags from my Jump Scare request:

Character Awakens Ancient Horror, Characters Wander Into The Extra Creepy Part Of The Cursed Forest, Competently handling the horrifying thing, cosmic horror, Creeping Horror, Gothic Romance, Gothic Horror, Give Me Your Creepy/Scary AU, Mazes and Labyrinths, Not-So-Abandoned Ruins, Survival Horror

Dungeon Meshi

Kabru/Mithrun of House Kerensil

This pairing hit me hard. I'd put off getting into Dungeon Meshi because I'm not big about watching stuff, but was increasingly tempted because Kabru is beautiful. Then, a friend told me the basic setup of Kabumisu and I read all of the manga within 4 days. I love Kabru and Mithrun so much, they're both such interesting characters. Kabru's great for his observational skills, but also his warmth and love of humanity. Love his winky faces. Where do I start with Mithrun? I want to open up his brain and chew on it. I love the glimpses into his personality we get and the difference between his past/present. Also: he's beautiful.

I don't even know where to start with what fic I want for this pairing. They rotate in my brain 24/7. The chapters where Kabru was stuck taking Mithrun were my favorite part of the manga (I love caretaking stuff) and aaaa how their relationship develops by the time Kabru is trying to give Mithrun a reason to live is just too good. I'm very much into exploring how Kabru and Mithrun get along post-canon, but also there's so much great AU potential for them! Also, consider elf Kabru having sex with Mithrun's regular elf form.

I'm not interested in canon divergence AUs where Mithrun never has his desires eaten, though fucking around with the timeline and having Kabru meet Mithrun before he loses his desires is fine. If you write anal sex, I prefer that Kabru top. For any sort of sex, I’d like for Mithrun to enjoy it, whether or not he fully has his desires back or not. Fandom-specific do not want: Trans Mithrun and any implications that Mithrun having sex is automatically noncon or dubcon. I also don't want Mithrun as a tallman (elf Kabru is fine) or more than mentions of Laios. Self-harm is on my DNW list, but it's OK to mention in relation to Mithrun. Mental illness is also on my DNW list, but you can include it with Mithrun as long as it's not bipolar disorder. I see him as pretty depressed.

Here are some tags I liked for Kabumisu from Multifandom Trope Fest:

Case Fic - Solving a paranormal mystery, Case Fic - exploring strange ancient ruins, Forced Proximity - Stranded Together & Have To Rely On Each Other To Survive, Horror - Horror with a Happy Ending, Hurt/Comfort - Character A tends to severely wounded Character B, Male Damsel in Distress, Post-Canon, Sex Tropes - Thank God You're/We're Alive Sex, Sex Tropes - Incredible Sex After Confession of Feelings

Royal Order

Male Aarya De Chabenet/Darryl of Ilsenova

Medium Opt-In: Unique Rules - Online Dress-up Game

I slammed this game back in 3 days and god do I have a NEED for answers to some questions and/or Darryl knowing Aarya carnally. I loved the setup with Aarya as the literal god of the Sval going deep behind enemy lines, having to balance his loyalty to his people with the relationships he was forming while with the High Council. Aarya and Darryl are both tremendously charming characters who are living in my head rent-free. I love how Aarya is (literally) such an old soul and Darryl is a tender-hearted, brave romantic. I want absolutely anything you can throw at me about them post-canon, negotiating their delicate political situation and also the fact that Aarya is a god and Darryl is a cute mortal twink. Or a fun AU! You could also just have them screw I am NOT picky.

If you write anal sex, I prefer that Darryl top. I know that I DNW minors but it’s fine to mention Beringer or Lilith, I just don’t care for a focus on them. I’d rather not receive fic about Darryl getting old, though it’s fine if there’s angst about Darryl’s mortality.

If you want extra inspo, here are some tags I liked from Multifandom Trope Fest:

Am I requesting a fuckton of gen for a game from 1992? YES I AM. Unless you want to write torrid alien romance, which I'd also find interesting. Star Control 2 is so special to me, I watched my brother play it when it was fairly new and I was super young. My formative scifi experience! I actually never got to play it myself until I was in my late 20s and I fell in love with it all over again. The originality of the aliens and the mix of stuff that's both funny and wicked cool is just delightful.

For all these tags, I'm really interested in daily life or documentation. I'd love to see what makes their cultures so alien. There's a really excellent wiki for the game's lore here and I've linked to the relevant wiki page for each request. You can buy the game for $3.99 on Steam or GOG.

If you want extra inspiration, here are the tags from my Jump Scare request:

Body Horror, Character Awakens Ancient Horror, Competently handling the horrifying thing, cosmic horror, Creeping Horror, Comes Back Wrong, Descent into Madness, Horror Comedy, Horrific for reader but not for character, Mazes and Labyrinths, Not-So-Abandoned Ruins, Space Horror, Unreliable Narrator

Solo: Neo-Dynarri

Such an evil little thing! I'd love to read about what it gets up to post-canon or its history with the Umgah.

WB: Ur-Quan Culture

Has any alien race ever had cooler theme music than the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za? I think NOT. There's so much about the Ur-Quan that's cool, from their basic behavior to everything that they got up to in the game. Do Ur-Quan even have the arts?

WB: Umgah Culture

I love the prankster nature of these hideous aliens. They must have such cool scientific stuff, too!

WB: Spathi Culture

These cowardly little guys omg. Poor Fwiffo. I absolutely love how scared they are.

WB: Utwig Culture

Please, the Utwig are hilarious to me with how miserable they are. Don't drop the Ultron!!

WB: Investigations of "They"

I love all the hints about gruesome extradimensional beings. What really happened to the Androsynth? How are the Orz connected to "Them"?
