sathinfectionHello there! I'm back at doing exchanges for the first time in four years, so please excuse my rustiness. I included some sort-of prompts in my letter, but please don't feel bound to those - I was just spitballing. Treats are welcome!

DRAMAtical Murder: Clear/Seragaki Aoba
So, I got into DMMD about ten years after everyone else - my apologies for this request coming from the far depths of the past. I absolutely adore Clear as a fan of both robots and whatever the fuck eccentricities he has going on. He's just so cute in his dotty way! Aoba is so charming and I love how he rolls with absolutely bizarre scenarios like "well he's actively disintegrating but he wants to fuck so I guess this is my life now." I'd love to read something exploring their relationship dynamic because we didn't get much of it in the visual novel, whether in the canon setting or otherwise. And if you keep Clear a robot, it'd be neat to explore his robotic nature as well. If you write sex, I prefer that Clear top.
Dungeon Meshi: Kabru/Mithrun of the House of 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'd love fic set post-canon, but also canon divergence and any AU you felt could keep the spirit of their manga characterization intact.
So, some things inherent to the pairing are on my do not want list. However, I have no problem with fics focusing on mental illness in relation to Mithrun, as long as that mental illness isn't bipolar disorder. Self-harm is also OK to mention.
I'm not interested in canon setting fics where Mithrun never had his desires eaten. If you write sex, I prefer that Kabru top and Mithrun enjoy it, whether or not he has his desires back or not.
I Became the Lousy Side Top: Seo Jaewoo/Yoo Hyeonjin
Not to sound like the beginning of a recipe blog, but I read this manhwa obsessively while enduring a visit to the in-laws and it made me extra fond of this story. Jaewoo is a precious sweetheart and I love Hyeonjin for how he went from wary of Jaewoo to being devoted. I really enjoyed how much food and care played a role in Jaewoo and Hyeonjin's romance. I think it'd be really fun to read something set post-canon where Jaewoo and Hyeonjin are managing their restaurant, but exploring bits of canon that didn't get fleshed out would also be great and alternate universes are always tasty. If you write sex, I prefer that Hyeonjin top.
I know I listed kids as a do not want, but you're welcome to include Hyeonjin's little brothers in the fic. I think their little family is so cute.
Therapy Game: Ikushima Shizuma/Mito Minato
This manga is such perfectly executed slice-of-life that I'm glued to every chapter, even though it's mostly Minato being unhinged and Shizuma being the perfect boyfriend. Shizuma is the type of character who SHOULD be boring since he's flawless and patient with Minato's frenetic energy, but Hinohara-sensei is just so damn good at making her characters engaging that I adore Shizuma. Minato is my favorite type of bottom character in yaoi because he's just so messy. I think both of them have interesting jobs (I loved "All Creatures Great and Small" as a kid, and Minato's photography career gets absurd at times). Feel free to write more slice-of-life or get them into some sort of high-stakes scenario or wild AU. I know I listed cat harm as a do not want, but if you write about Shizuma treating a cat that gets better, that's just fine. If you write sex, I prefer that Shizuma top.

- 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. Modern? Hell yeah. Canon divergence? Hell yeah. Some sort of genre setting different from the canon? Hell yeah. However, I don't like police, mafia, omegaverse, coffee shop, university, serial killer, or high school AUs. Other than those, go ham.
- I absolutely adore horror. However, I don't like bad or unhappy endings, though you're free to kill off all the side characters or OCs that you want. Here's some tags I asked for in the Jump Scare exchange: Horror Comedy, Blood and Gore, Competently handling the horrifying thing, Creeping Horror, folk horror, The kind of 'scary' that could be described as 'haunting', Tending to injury incurred by horror situation.
- I like scenarios where a couple is isolated from others and have to work together to survive.
- I enjoy humor and fic that's just exploring a character or relationship.
- I love established relationship fics.
- 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 prefer reading anal to other sex acts and I've specified who I want to top in each ship's section. If you want to add a kink to a scene, I love crossdressing and non-degrading dirty talk.
- Road trips.
- ROMANCE. Give me my ship being loving in whatever way they tend to show their love and I'll be so happy.
- 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.
- Permanent disabling injury of requested characters. Temporary horrible injuries are welcome and eye injury is fine.
- Major character death. Canonical deaths and OC deaths are fine.
- The following alternate universe settings:
- Coffee shop, police, mafia, university, Harry Potter, serial killer, high school, omegaverse
- Pregnancy of any sort in anyone, including mentions. Minors. Deaging. Babies. Infantilization. Lactation.
- Asexual or aromantic characters in a requested ship.
- Angst about aging/lifespan differences.
- Crossovers and fusions.
- One-sided relationships where only one character has feelings for the other.
- Pairings that include a cis character and a trans character unless explicitly requested. Writing T4T between characters with the same kind of genitals is just fine, although I'd rather you not make trans identity a focus of the story if you do. Also, I prefer that AMAB/alternate words be used in sex scenes involving trans men.
- Fic that's over 10,000 words.
- Negotiation about consent or kinks. I want everyone to be on the same page, but discussion is not needed.
- Noncon/rape or rape play. Dubcon (drunk sex is fine as long as the characters are not so wasted that they can't consent). Underage.
- Domestic abuse. Slavery.
- BDSM and D/s.
- Switching. I prefer pairings be fixed in who tops and who bottoms. I've noted which character I want to top in my requests.
- Polyamory/OT3s/open relationships. Unrequested non-canon side pairings. Infidelity. Breaking up. Exes to lovers.
- Focus on an M/F relationship. Brief mentions of canon ones are fine.
- Fic focusing on gender dysphoria or identity, misogyny, racism, homophobia, sexual identity, transphobia, mental illness, bipolar disorder, or self-harm.
- Cat harm.
Sex-related Do Not Wants: rough nipple play, anal sex without lube (spit's ok), rimming, foot kink, frottage, ass to mouth, pee, anal bleeding/tearing, daddy kink, fisting, vomit, scat, belly bulges/stuffing/inflation/feeder kink, enemas, sounding, and vore.
