Rare Male Slash Exchange 2019

Hello, dear RMSE author!

First, if you're worried, don't be. These are all fandoms and ships I love, and I tend to like my fic in a variety of styles and shades and takes, from funny and sweet to darker and angsty to horror. As long as the end isn't hopeless and miserable, I will like it. So if you'd rather do your own thing, go ahead and do that. Just avoid my DNWs and you're fine. :) I promise.

My sign-up was a bit brief due to a schedule that kept me away from my keyboard for a few days. If whatever was there felt a bit too brief for you, here you'll find more general likes and random things I like about the ships.


DO NOT WANT:

noncon/rape between ship characters (dubcon is fine, noncon by others for plot reasons is fine, but noncon by proxy is NOT fine, i.e. a ship character ordering an outsider to rape other ship character)

bestiality

A/B/O

mpreg

genderswap

recreational drug use (alcohol and cigarettes are ok, trying to recover from addiction is ok)

humiliation (shorter embarrassing moments are ok)

scat

vomit

daddy kink

animal/pet abuse or suffering


GENERAL LIKES AND PROMPTS:
Things I will always like, no matter the fandom

Canon-divergent AUs, forks in the road, what if X instead of Y, fix-its for unhappy endings

Angst and (mutual) pining

Hurt/comfort of any type and level, from minor wound tending to handling mind control situations, torture and PTSD

Internalized homophobia when it fits the canon (esp. if eventually learned/taught out of)

Having to share a space (anything from a single tiny sleeping bag to space shuttles to snowed-in cabins to whatever else you can think of - it's the 'I can't run away and ignore/hide my feelings oh no' that I adore)

Enemies/rivals having to work together and making a truce, temporary or otherwise

All the touching! From the tiniest of accidental (or "accidental") brushes to carrying someone wounded and having to unclothe them, helping out with difficult clothes/gear, dancing etc.

Undercover jobs from the sweetest "we have to fake being a couple" to the most painful "I must watch you get beaten up and can't do anything" (having to hurt the other doesn't work the same as having to watch, though I'd take both)

Time travel tropes of any kind in canons where it happens or is plausible: Groundhog day, traveling to the past/future and getting (temporarily) stuck there, time moving slower/faster than it does for others in a certain space, messages through time, altering history or future

First times (touches, dates, kisses, sex, arguments, anything first really)

Porn with feelings (friends: being able to express how they feel, enemies/rivals: realizing that oh no, it's more than simple lust)


PORN LIKES: Anything vanilla is always ok, but also blindfolds, a bit of tying up or holding wrists, teasing and mild painplay (except genitalia, please). Everything from frottage to handjobs to penetration, or just coming before they even really begin. Not big on intercrural but I don't dislike it. Fine with rimming. Condoms optional. In m/m, lube or anything to replace it not optional. :D

Unless specified I'm fine with either one being the top/bottom. I prefer touching and random interjections and pleads to long conversations during sex, and I'd like you to keep pet names like baby or honey to the absolute minimum (unless they're canonical).


OTHER FIC-RELATED INFO: I'm fine with any rating, from G to NC-17, and this goes for both sexual content and violence. I tend to prefer 3rd person POV, but 1st and 2nd person POVs aren't a problem if you feel the fic needs to be that way. Any tense goes. So basically, don't feel too restrained by stylistic choices. I'll read whatever you write. :) Well, I twitch at then/than, your/you're, there/their/they're, to/too mix-ups, the word villian, and misspelled character names. I can't help it.


FANDOMS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER:

Babylon 5 [Bester/Garibaldi, Garibaldi/Sinclair]

My AO3 for possible treaters: Mimm
I've requested fanfiction for all of these.

PLEASE NOTE: The length of these sections has no bearing on how much I want a particular fandom/ship. If any one of these would be more disappointing to get than the others, then it wouldn't be here at all.
