Dear writer (or treater),

I'm Mimm also on AO3.

My request history on the app (for any previous prompts/thoughts for many of these fandoms): Here

I signed up for both 10k and 2 x 5k and I'm genuinely happy with either. And if you're a treater, yes, I'd be happy with something significantly shorter as well!

All tenses, all POVs, any rating from G to E (for violence or porn), it's all welcome as long as it avoids my DNWs.

So, hi! We obviously share a fandom or you wouldn't be here. Maybe you've read my letters before, maybe this is the first time. I'm trying to keep this as clear as I can but if something unclear or it sounds like I'm saying contradictory things, please don't hesitate to ask via a mod and I'll happily clarify.

I like so many different types of fics it's always a struggle to come up with prompts, but I'll try adding some thoughts at least. Many are copied from previous sign-ups because I am overwhelmed and I fear I will never get this letter done if I have to start from scratch.

My likes list is long and sprawling and includes everything and the kitchen sink, but they really are all things I like (especially the kitchen sink!), so you can't go wrong with picking one or more and combining them into something instead of going with a prompt. Other people's ideas always seem so much better than my own, anyway. :D

* Feelings reveal (and/or hitting on the other character) due to pain/intoxication/truth serum/sex pollen/whatever, esp. when the other one's desperately trying to keep things normal, thinking it's just the drugs and not real and they'll regret when they're clearheaded again etc.

* A gay-for-pay situation (for undercover reasons or as a means to get money) with a feelings realization (esp. when they try to fight it)

* Emotional and physical hurt/comfort, e.g. having to watch the other be hurt, or being forced to lie/hurt to save the other, wounds and cuts, broken bones, dizziness, nausea, fever due to poisoning etc., helping character with addiction (less into period cramps, stomach bugs and runny noses as main hurt)

* Forced closeness, casual intimacy, invading the other's personal space

* Canon divergence AUs, roads not taken, what-ifs, fix-its, break-its (that get fixed), missing scenes, reinterpreted scenes, post-canon, pre-canon

* Different first meetings, only one character remembers they've already met before (and maybe even hooked up)

Babylon 5 (TV 1993)

Marcus Cole/Stephen Franklin (Babylon 5)
Marcus Cole/Neroon (Babylon 5)

I'm just going to c&p these from my latest sign up.


Marcus/Stephen

So, let's get the most obvious thing out of the way first: Their marriage. :D I will always love to see something related to that. Maybe they are literally, officially married to make it airtight, and that's causing a whole new set of problems once the mission's done. Maybe Marcus decides to celebrate their fake anniversary as a joke but things get out of hand and it turns into an actual date. (Note: I already got the most excellent gift for this and I love it to bits, but I will never turn down alternate takes so I'll keep this here.) Or there's some sparring accident and he needs to be treated. Or it's all very angsty until Stephen finds away to wake him up. Or all the ways Marcus drives Stephen up the wall. I'm not picky at all.

Additional thought for canon divergence: What if Marcus does "die" but gets revived after several years has passed (5-10? more?). How would that work out? Could be Stephen's hard work or could be by someone we haven't met yet, and Marcus waking up is something Stephen thinks is closer to a miracle, so he's overwhelmed by the idea that he gets a second chance. I've requested Marcus/Stephen here and there throughout the years so you should be able to find other thoughts floating around.


Marcus/Neroon

I enjoy the way they really don't seem to get along at first, but there's still something there that connects them. I adore that moment of laughter. <3 I'm also always fond of seeing the more Minbari side of Marcus, with him being a Ranger, but it could definitely be fun if he showed Neroon some very human things too. Neroon gets amnesia for reasons and it's a bit of a disaster, but somehow Marcus navigates it? Or they have to join forces and they get stranded and/or one gets injured. Or they get stuck in a time loop (or just somewhere in the past) together and it's a lot to handle.

The Bear (TV 2022)

Marcus Brooks/Luca (The Bear)

From a previous sign-up: This show is so good. It's intense and hilarious and heartbreaking and painful and somehow perfect. I love everyone. <3 But out of all the ships I ship, I keep going back to this one. Marcus is the sweetest, so kind and eager to learn and wonderful, and I just want him to get everything he wants and deserves. And they were so lovely with Luca, teaching and learning and bonding. I would love to see it become something more. Maybe a night out in Copenhagen? Marcus expects them to go to some club, but Luca has something totally different in mind and surprises Marcus? Just lot and lots of baking and cooking together, teaching and learning and exploring? Or later, either one dropping by to visit the other, whether it's for a work type event or just one of them wanting to see the other. Luca bringing Marcus ingredients in person, or just curious to check the place he works in.

Since I last requested this, S3 came, and their reunion made me very happy but I still want more, so much more. <3 Maybe Luca starts a new life close by and they work together more. Or maybe something happened in that party, or it set something new in motion, or maybe they have a minor falling out because of something that happened there and they need to fix it.

The Exorcist (TV)

Marcus Keane/Tomas Ortega (The Exorcist)

It's been a while since I requested this, but it's always there in the background, reminding me of itself and how good it was and how I still want it to continue. <3 So I'm borrowing from a previous sign-up that still feels relevant.

I'll admit that Marcus is my favourite on this show, though I very much enjoy the other main characters & many of the side characters as well (regardless of season). And I want him to be happy. Life's been too rough for him and he deserves some comfort and quiet and lots and lots of cuddles. Love his total disregard for personal space, and the way he can flirt with just about everything that moves. :D And I love the way he uses his hands. To touch, to express things, to console. I don't always have a hand thing but when I do I have it bad.

I love this ship and where it was going and how they were with each other. Anything set during canon or post-canon would be great. Continuing the business, travelling, trying to fix things and find peace. Quitting and settling down to do something else, not quite knowing what and how because it's so foreign. I wish I could come up with some simple, solid idea, but I can't. They're very "I just want them to figure out they want each other" to me.

Feel free to go wherever you want with the religious aspects, whether it's all nice and by the book, something dark and twisted and dirtybadwrong, or something else entirely. You can't offend me, I assure you, and nothing's too blasphemous for me.

Maurice - E. M. Forster

Clive Durham/Original Male Character (Maurice - Forster)

I occasionally reread this book (or watch the movie, and I think there's a weird hybrid in my brain that's a combination of all my fave bits from each) and I keep wanting Clive to be happy and comfortable and at ease, and I hope one day he will be. <3 So mostly I ignore the end of the novel, the idea that it'll never happen.

He's so repressed and filled with guilt and ideals he thinks he must strive for, and I'd love him to get out of that mindset. What if one day Clive meets someone who he's absolutely incapable of resisting both physically and mentally, and who's also very clearly into him, and he has to rethink everything because this is it, this is The One, and it's not easy and maybe he's tormented by it but he'll get there? Maybe he's widowed and older and wiser and feels free to choose another path, maybe he keeps seeing how happy other men can be and wants it for himself. Maybe it's his son's friend who keeps being incredibly flirty and looking for his company and what's a man to do? And there's always travel. Both ways, actually, so maybe someone from abroad comes and he's totally helpless to resist. Or any other idea you come up with! I'm honestly open to anything.

I know the tag says OMC but I wouldn't be the least opposed to this OMC being a character from or inspired by one of Forster's other novels. I think that could be fun. (Consider that DNW for crossovers/fusions void for this. As long as the background canon is Maurice I'm happy.)

The Persuaders! (TV 1971)

Brett Sinclair/Danny Wilde (Persuaders)

These two are just absolutely charming together. <3 They're so different and they clash, but they also fit together so well and I could watch them get flirty all day long. I'm totally okay with them flirting with women as well because it's who they are, but I'd still prefer any women being minor characters and the focus being on these two.

Anything from working on a case to ending up in peril with one saving the other would be great. Maybe they have to pretend being a couple for undercover reasons and Danny's going all in but Brett is very much not, until even he has to cave in because otherwise he'll blow their cover. Maybe there's some eccentric billionaire offering a job for one or both. Maybe one of them goes missing. Or any other idea you have!

Severance (TV)

Irving Bailiff/Burt Goodman (Severance)
Peter Kilmer/Mark Scout (Severance)

From an earlier sign-up:

I just want these people to have all the good things and be happy. <3 This entire world and concept is fascinating and I'd love anything that touches on the worldbuilding aspects, but I'm also happy for any brief moment of happiness (or, you know, creepiness :D) between the ships.

Mark/Peter

I love the idea that they had something (very innocent, considering they're being watched) when they were both still severed, but now Mark is unaware of any of it and Petey has to try and deal with it. How does he tell Mark? They don't know each other outside workplace but I'd be open to a situation where they have actually met before, maybe even more than met, and it's just that Mark doesn't remember Petey's face anymore, or the concept of him (apart from something that still lingers) for whatever reason. I'd definitely love Petey staying alive, some way.

Irving/Burt

They're so sweet. I'm especially fond of Irv who's so eager to see this new friend of his, like he's suddenly come alive after a long hibernation, and I'm all for him finding a way to (re)connect with Burt. Honestly, I'm good with any combo of innie and outie with this one, they're all fascinating options. Innie!Irv already likes innie!Burt and vice versa, but how does it go with innie!Irv and outie!Burt? Or have their outies met already, and how? What does outie!Burt do when innie!Irv turns into outie!Irv (and how would that even happen?)?

Starsky & Hutch

Ken Hutchinson/David Starsky (Starsky & Hutch)

They're just so very intense about each other and I love it. <3 And honestly, there's so much potential for everything with these two. Like all the undercover stuff (both short-time for a small case, like for a night or two where they attend a party, and longer where one has to infiltrate a group and there are meetings with a handler etc. and it lasts for months), and hurt/comfort and pining, and all the intense and meaningful moments of being really close to each other. They are so married already but they don't seem to realize it. They really should.

I can't decide which ones are my favourite episodes, but I'm 100% a sucker for any where one has to save the other, or one is about to die and the other one's close by, taking care and comforting or trying to find a way to fix it all. So like, being kidnapped and tortured, either just one that the other one saves and nurtures back to health and sanity, or both so they have to see each other suffer and lose it while the bad guys get creative? Yes, please! A weekend at some spa or a skiing holiday and their dates don't show up and now they're on their own? Go ahead. I don't think anything's too OTT or too tropey for this show and these two. <3

Whitechapel (TV)

Joseph Chandler/Emerson Kent (Whitechapel)

I just love this show, the cast, the characters, the paranormal-or-not-who-even-knows mysteries, the bizarre murder cases, and all the potential it had. And in case you wonder, I'm not averse to the gruesomeness at all! I thought it was sort of cool, heads in flowerpots and all that. I'm not squeamish so more of gruesome murder scenes wouldn't be unwelcome.

I would love anything from a regular work case to someone being in peril and needing a rescue, or someone getting hurt or disappearing. Or something that's definitely paranormal, like haunted places, more dead people talking through a medium, shadows just in the corner of your eye, all the spooky stuff. Or a day off, a night out, something more mundane. Or they need to work a case with another team for whatever reason and now it's us vs. them. Maybe there's a particularly nasty series of murders and the murderer toys with the team, or targets one (but not Megan, please).

I don't think I'll ever get tired of the idea of these two ending up together. It would've been perfect! So obviously I'll take anything that gives them that final push. Anything I've prompted for them before is still welcome. Kent rescuing Joe from eager women, someone getting hurt during a case, Joe having a terrible time and Kent helping him out, or maybe it's Joe who finds Kent spiralling and it's vice versa. Long days of work, insomnia, losing a grip on reality a bit... or just being unable to go home because there's something there that shouldn't be.

Hello there, Hurt/Comfort Exchange creator (assigned or a treater)!

Whether you're already aware of my existence or have no idea who I am, rest assured that I'm pretty easy to please so don't worry too much! I read and enjoy various styles, so go for the one that you feel fits best. Lighthearted and funny, or darker and angsty, or anything in between. I would prefer at least a hopeful ending to one that's bleak and miserable.

All tenses, all POVs (as long as 'you' is a requested character), all ratings (sexual content or violence) welcome! For smut, I generally have no top/bottom preferences and often prefer switching.

I'm Mimm on AO3 as well.

My HCEx 2024 sign-up on the app (for prompts): Here

My request history on the app (for any previous prompts/thoughts for many of these fandoms): Here


DNW:
Noncon between ship characters, unrequested permanent ship character death (afterlife prompts = requested and welcome), focus on children/pregnancy, focus on pets, highschool/band/coffeeshop/etc. AUs that drastically change the setting, crossovers or fusions, omegaverse, bestiality, scat, daddy/mommy kink, smoking weed, focus on food/cooking, unrequested poly, ship characters as asexual or aromantic, trans/neurodivergence headcanons

If anything's unclear or it feels like I'm contradicting myself (sorry!), you can always ask through mods and I'll try to clarify.


I love hurt/comfort! So much! ♥ I've chosen a ton of tags to go with each ship and I consider them prompts on their own. Pick one or combine a few and go for it!

But here's a list of my general likes as well, in case they're helpful in any way.

LIKES:

Getting together, first times, new experiences, new feelings

Complicated feelings/relationships, inner conflict, internalized homophobia, themes of guilt or shame, esp. when met with trust and reassurance

Friends to lovers, enemies (to friends) to lovers, enemies joining forces to fight a common enemy, falling for someone who's unavailable (either taken or not into character's gender, or so they think) and pining, UST that gets resolved

Tropey things like amnesia, snowed/caved in, undercover as a couple, having to share a bed/room, being imprisoned together or separately

All the afterlife stuff (actual afterlife or reincarnation, waiting for the other/watching them/picking them up when it's time)

Feelings reveal (and/or hitting on the other character) due to pain/intoxication/truth serum/sex pollen/whatever, esp. when the other one's desperately trying to keep things normal, thinking it's just the drugs and not real and they'll regret when they're clearheaded again etc.

A gay-for-pay situation (for undercover reasons or as a means to get money) with a feelings realization (esp. when they try to fight it)

Emotional and physical hurt/comfort, e.g. having to watch the other be hurt, or being forced to lie/hurt to save the other, wounds and cuts, broken bones, dizziness, nausea, fever due to poisoning etc., helping character with addiction (less into period cramps, stomach bugs and runny noses as main hurt)

Scifi elements like dimension travel, alternate realities, telepathic links, being in the other character's dreams/nightmares, devices that make a character live in a reality that turns out to be fake/simulation, planted false memories and finding out they're false

I'll see if I can add brief notes and thoughts about my requested canons in the next few days. I hope I can! Work ate my weekdays but I managed to scribble down something, so here goes!

The Alienist

Laszlo Kreizler/John Schuyler Moore (Hurt John Schuyler Moore)
Laszlo Kreizler/John Schuyler Moore (Hurt Laszlo Kreizler)

Turns out I still keep having to remind myself they're not actually together in canon. :D It's just that the vibe they give is so strongly "we're together together" and I don't actually know why. But it's great. <3 Hurt either one, have the other one comfort, and it's even better. I'm really easy to please with this one. Maybe they're in the middle of a case and something bad happens, but it could also be any regular Tuesday with a mundane accident, a mugging, or someone's blackmailing either one, or one's struggling with new feelings they don't want because now everything's complicated.

Babylon 5

Marcus Cole/Stephen Franklin (both hurt)
Marcus Cole/Stephen Franklin (hurt Marcus)
Marcus Cole/Stephen Franklin (hurt Stephen)

I know I just requested this in another exhange, and I'm feeling very sated, but I saw it in the tag set and couldn't resist my forever fandom. <3 So many good hurt tags to go with them, too! I would love each and every one of them on top of any previous prompts along the years. A brief moment of fixing an injury (and all the intimacy that comes from it), or a more longterm, emotional hurt, I love it all. These two are so fun together. Though because they're both so incredibly nice and kind, it's probably going to be terrible when one's hurt because the other one's going "no, I'm fine, I'm more worried about you worrying about me" because he can't help it. If they both happen to hurt? All comfort breaks loose. :D

Bodies

Henry Ashe/Alfred Hillinghead (hurt Ashe)
Henry Ashe/Alfred Hillinghead (hurt Hillinghead)

God, this show. <3 It's one of those rare ones that feels like it's written specifically for me because it hits so many buttons it's kind of eerie. I love everything about this thing! It's got time travel and sci-fi, but it's also historical, and it's got so many likeable characters I have a hard time pointing out a character (main or minor, good guy or bad guy) I don't like at least in some way. And the character storylines, they've got details and beats that work perfectly just the way they are. I just, I love it all so damn much. <3 I think the only negative thing I can come up with is that it wasn't 34 episodes longer because I wanted more of everything. :D But at the same time, I got enough to not feel dissatisfied. So good.

So of course I would really love more of these two, any timeline, any point in time, with any of these tags as inspiration, as long as the ending's not completely bleak and miserable. I love Hillinghead's self discovery and the struggle when he's already married (and seems mostly happy too), the divided loyalties when there's this new thing with Ashe. I'd love him to find peace. And Ashe, he's so determined, so at ease but still struggling in a different way because of it. Hurt them, fix them, give them a great life, help them deal with a canonical death, it's all great. Keep them in their own time or find a way for them to interact with characters from the future, that's good too!

(As for how to deal with Charlotte, some hurt may be inevitable and that's ok. But ideally they'd figure out a way for all three to be happy.)

Dark Matter (TV)

Six | Griffin Jones/Three | Marcus Boone (hurt Six)
Six | Griffin Jones/Three | Marcus Boone (hurt Three)

I spent a few moments trying to decide if I want Six to be hurt or Three, but then figured actually either one or even both is good. :D Neither one is going to be good about dealing with hurting. This is good. And while Six is probably better about comforting someone, Three's going to be a lot more awkward about it, and I'm really into both, so. :D I love their chemistry, the way they butt heads but also care about each other, and how they have to deal with everything that happens to them and between them. Add some kind of h/c into that and I'm a happy fan. <3

I've requested this a few times along the years so I'm sure you can find previous prompts if you want to go looking, but ignoring them is fine too!

Friends

Joey Tribbiani/Chandler Bing (hurt Chandler)
Joey Tribbiani/Chandler Bing (hurt Joey)

They are the best friends and I want them to live happily together until old age. <3 I mean sure, Monica might be there too, and I really don't mind if Joey gets his own room at their place and this ship happens there, but anything before Chandler/Monica, or a good old canon divergence, would be great! Could be something work related (Joey's rehearsing lines or struggling with a coming audition/play, Chandler's knee deep in some demanding work project, a new person moves to the building and causes trouble) or something about them dealing with being roommates but secretly wanting to be more.

While I love the jokey, fun and comical style of the show, I'd also love something less jokey and more serious, because life isn't a constant sitcom even for these two. So don't worry about making it canon-level bantery and silly, that's not all I love about these two. <3

Lord of the Rings (movie)

Boromir/Faramir (both hurt)
Boromir/Faramir (hurt Boromir)
Boromir/Faramir (hurt Faramir)

I'm really going back to my roots with this one, haha. :D LotR was my first online fandom 20+ years ago and I've loved this ship for about as long. It's been forever since I requested it, though!

You could go anywhere with this, really. Whether it's when they were young, or when they're adults, a canon divergence or canon-compliant, all's good. The only thing I need is that it's consensual for them both. I'm also fine with combining book details with movie details, so if there's a detail that's only in the books that you want to use, go ahead. I love it when Boromir's protective of Faramir, to the point of self-sacrifice even, but I also love the idea of Faramir returning the favor at some point. I also love the "us against everyone, only you know what it's been like for me" aspect of sibcest for these two. Or just the tragedy of losing the other and then maybe reuniting later, and all the feels that come from it. I really don't mind becoming a mess with this one. Just don't leave them both miserable forever, the end, even if they're both dead at the end.

Our Flag Means Death

Israel Hands/Lucius Spriggs (hurt Izzy)
Israel Hands/Lucius Spriggs (hurt Lucius)

I was lowkey into this during S1, but then S2 happened and I think Izzy giving Lucius that whittled shark sealed it. :D They're really, really not friends or even friendly, and that's great! But also they could've become friends and they're kind of getting there, if things progressed differently, and seeing what that would be like is great too! Honestly, I'm into all the possible variations of enemies to friends or more with this, at any point during canon but also post-canon, with or without a death. Pick a tag and go, I'm sure I'll love it. Either one menacing the other and catching feelings, or reluctantly having to help out and catching feelings, yes please!

Strange Way of Life

Sheriff Jake/Silva (Strange Way Of Life) (both hurt)
Sheriff Jake/Silva (Strange Way Of Life) (hurt Jake)
Sheriff Jake/Silva (Strange Way Of Life) (hurt Silva)

This short film, while it's nice enough as it is, feels like the prologue to something bigger, so by the time it ends I'm left wanting more. I'd love something post-canon where they come to terms with what they are and what they might have and what they might be. It doesn't have to be pretty, I just want it to be.

I'm also a bit salty about the fact that all the steamy, hungry kissing happens with the younger actors, which feels like a lost opportunity. Come on, you have one Ethan Hawke and one Pedro Pascal at your disposal. You should know better what to do with that! (But also, I do enjoy the neck kiss & implications a lot, so you did something right.) So I do prefer them to be middle-aged rather than young, if I get to choose. But referencing something from their past or a scene set in the past to show their history are definitely welcome, don't worry.

Suits

Mike Ross/Harvey Specter (both hurt)
Mike Ross/Harvey Specter (Harvey hurt)
Mike Ross/Harvey Specter (Mike hurt)

I love these two and their conspiratory thing and how they shouldn't work because they come from such different backgrounds, but they seem to fit together perfectly. The chemistry's real. <3 Honestly, go with any of the tags and use it as a springboard for something that puts them together even for a while, and I'll be very happy. But i'll note that love it when Harvey's having a bad time dealing with having feelings, so if you can work that in I'd be thrilled. :D

Whitechapel

Joseph Chandler/Emerson Kent (both hurt)
Joseph Chandler/Emerson Kent (Chandler hurt)
Joseph Chandler/Emerson Kent (Kent hurt)

My love for these two will never go away. My wish for at least one more season so they could have shown where these two were going to end up will also never go away. :D As with all the others, I feel like the requested tags should work as prompts on their own, so pick one or combine a few and I'm sold! And if some older prompts speak to you, and you think they'd work with these, go ahead!

I love the idea of either or both ending up in a situation where the other one has to comfort the other (or they're both hurting and comforting each other), whether it's a physical injury or emotional distress or overwhelming anxiety. They're not entirely equal because one's a boss, but they're also becoming friends and they obviously care about each other, so outside the job they are equal. They need to balance between job obligations and what they are outside of work, and I love it when that boundary has to be crossed, like when something terrible happens during work and the other one can't remain entirely professional about how to deal with it. Just 98% professional, because even then they're still good at their job. Mostly. :D

Hello, potential author or random wanderer!

So it's FIAB time again. How?

I tried to make my sign-up as extensive as possible with the general likes list that I expanded and reorganized a little, because I generally suck at prompting and it takes me forever. But I thought I'd try writing a letter this time anyway, to give you some kind of an idea of where my head's at with these. Especially since some are first time requests for me. Some parts are longer, some shorter, but trust me when I say that this is no indication of what I want more. If I request it then that means I want it, even if it's at the bottom of the list with one single sentence.

I think of my likes list as general prompts, and you honestly can't go wrong with picking one or more of those over any fandom-specific prompts I've added. I love to be surprised instead of dictating exactly how a story must go, beat by beat. Just don't try to force all of them into the same story, maybe? Also, if a prompt in one fandom sparks an idea for another fandom, go ahead! This entire wall of text here is stuff I like. :D

As for the opt-ins, I feel they're self-explanatory so I'm not adding them here. I picked a few that could fit the canon easily. As usual, there are so many others I'd be really curious to see, like the isometric rooms or voxel art, or fanvids, or maps for From, or conspiracy board type things for Rabbit Hole, but I wouldn't know how to even start prompting for them.

This'll get long with ten fandoms and all the ships and characters, so I added some anchor links that hopefully make this less hellish to read. If something's broken after all, please comment and I'll fix it.


DNW:
Noncon between ship characters, unrequested permanent ship character death, focus on children/pregnancy, focus on pets, highschool/band/coffeeshop/etc. AUs that drastically change the setting, crossovers or fusions, omegaverse, bestiality, scat, daddy/mommy kink, smoking weed, focus on food/cooking, ship characters as asexual or aromantic, trans/neurodivergence headcanons


Some clarification just in case (because I'm never sure if my DNWs are clear or conflicting and confusing):

Noncon by other characters or as background story is very welcome, esp. as an element of hurt/trauma. Dubcon is fine.

Adding some supernatural/horror elements into a canon, as long as the canon setting itself stays the same in general, is welcome and doesn't hit the AU DNW.

Canonically trans or neurodivergent characters and OCs are always welcome.

Dear FIAB creator,

Hi there. We share a fandom? Awesome! First, don't worry too much. I'm fairly easy to please and like a variety of things. If it's the fandom & ship I request and it doesn't include my DNWs, you're fine. If you incorporate a like or two, you're definitely fine. Wondering if I'd secretly prefer one 10k fic or several 1k ones? It's all good. I mean it. If you feel a thing is the length it needs to be, I trust you.

Any POV, any tense, any rating (either for sexual content or violence). With a low rating, I'd still prefer it to not be pre-slash or shippy-if-you-squint if I'm requesting a / ship.

DNW:
- noncon/rape between ship characters
- death of ship characters (temporary, presumed or faked for angsty plot reasons are great)
- bestiality
- A/B/O
- D/s
- daddy/mommy kink
- focus on pets, kids or pregnancy
- scat, emetophilia, watersports
- recreational drug use (getting drugged as an act of violence is good)
- AUs that drastically change the setting (coffeeshops, college, band, etc.)
- underage (teens with teens is fine, otherwise 15-ish and up)
- unrequested poly or trans fic
- ship characters as asexual or aromantic

LIKES:
- canon divergence AUs, roads not taken, what-ifs, fix-its, break-its (that get fixed), showing glimpses of parallel realities Sliding Doors style
- missing scenes, reinterpreted scenes, post-canon, pre-canon meet cutes
- getting together
- friends or enemies to lovers
- unexpected feelings and struggling with feelings (incl. internalized homophobia if it fits the era/character)
- sexual tension and pining that gets resolved
- consensual incest
- older characters pining for younger ones (no grooming!) or vice versa thinking they wouldn't have a chance
- hurt/comfort (any type and any level for either)
- angst as long as there's hope by the end
- humour and banter
- working cases together (office, stakeout, business trip etc.)
- working undercover (that faked death mentioned as a non-DNW would work well here), concealed identity
- missions gone wrong (shooting, hostage situation, shuttle crash, getting caught, lost communication, caved in, stranded etc.)
- road trips, camping
- wilderness survival
- having to share a bed/motel room/cottage/tent/etc.
- "I had nowhere else to go" esp. with enemyships
- all kinds of accidental/deliberate touching
- watching the other sleep (touching's fine but I'm not into full somnophilia)
- first time doing something together (kiss, sex, visiting the other's place, meeting loved ones, fight, break-up that then gets fixed etc.)
- all imaginable time travel tropes (loops and groundhog days, visits to past or future, fixing things, getting stuck in wrong time, distorted pass of time, correspondence between people separated by time, anything really)
- visits to/from alternate universes, parallel dimensions
- elements of horror, haunted places, possessed items, ghosts, folklore being real, secret societies and cults
- for smut, I don't usually have a strong preference for who tops/bottoms (and in rare cases where I state a preference the other isn't a DNW), and I like most sex acts (anal regardless of gender, vaginal, handjobs, blowjobs, intercrural, fingering, pegging, rimming, sex toys or pervertables, condoms or barebacking, partly or fully clothed as well as naked)

Dear Pine4Pine writer,

Hi! I want you to have fun. If fun for you is reading this entire letter and making mental notes to follow, go ahead (and I'm sorry?). If it's picking a like or two and running with your own idea that avoids my DNWs, do that. Chances are high I'll like whatever you come up with.

Freeforms scare me a bit so I don't often do exchanges with them. But pining! I love pining. Always have, always will. The longing, the wanting, the choice between going for it or staying away because of unwanted repercussions, the worry about being found out, the joy of being found out and having the feelings reciprocated, the decision to go for it because the risk feels worth taking. All those are things I like. Basically, if it has pining in it, I'm happy. The freeforms I chose aren't the only things I like but they're things I'm certain to like. So if you happened to match on several, that's great, but if you only matched on one that's definitely enough.

DNW:
- noncon/rape between ship characters
- death of ship characters (temporary, presumed or faked for angsty plot reasons are great)
- bestiality

- D/s
- daddy/mommy kink

- scat, emetophilia, watersports
- recreational drug use (getting drugged as an act of violence is good)

The fandom sections vary in length but that's no indication of what I want more. I want them all. I just have more thoughts about some than I do about others.

Under the cut, in alphabetical order:

The Alienist: Laszlo Kreizler/John Schuyler Moore (Laszlo, John or both pining)
Original Work: Ghost Haunting An Estate/The Descendant of Love Interest Who Moves In (M/M) (ghost pining)

Pride & Prejudice: Charles Bingley/Fitzwillian Darcy (Bingley, Darcy or both pining)
The Terror: Francis Crozier/Thomas Jopson (Jopson pining)

( Freeforms, thoughts, and various prompts. )

My AO3 for possible treaters: Mimm

Dear Hurt/Comfort Exchange writer,

I love hurt/comfort, yet I've never done this exchange before because freeforms scare overwhelm me. But I'm doing it now and I'm excited!

If you're already inspired by the freeforms, just take a look at the DNWs below (same as in the sign-ups, no unpleasant surprise!DNWs here) and you're good to go. I'll be offering some prompts and thoughts, but I'm equally enthusiastic to read your take on the tags so feel free to ignore my prompts.


DO NOT WANT:

Permanent death of ship characters (others ok if necessary for plot, temporary death ok)

Rape/noncon between ship characters (past rape ok, rape by others for plot reasons ok, dubcon ok)

Dom/sub dynamics

Daddy/mommy kink

Scat/watersports/emetophilia (hurt character throwing up ok)

Permanent break-up of ship characters (ending with an implied 'they might hook up again' is ok)

Unhappy endings

Mpreg, fpreg, acquiring or caring for children

Animal abuse/suffering

A/B/O

Crossovers, fusions, AUs that drastically change the setting (canon divergence = great)

Fandom-specific DNW for Doom Patrol:
Calling the negative spirit Keeg Bovo. Also, anything that hinges on comic knowledge. Borrowing is fine, as long as the fic makes sense on its own.

If there's anything you find confusing or conflicting, you can always ask through a mod. These are mostly things I dislike or am very picky about, but as I've mentioned before, I have no triggers that I know of.

Want to include eye trauma or broken bones that are visibly protruding, or just lots of blood? Go ahead, I'm not squeamish. Not sure how much internalized homophobia or self-hatred is too much? Lean as far into it as you need to. How about homophobic/transphobic OCs making characters' lives temporarily terrible? I'm ok as long as it's temporary and my ship ends up happy and, if they've been physically injured, the injuries heal. As for permanent injuries in general, I'll mention where I'm fine with them, and what type. They're not a DNW.

Basically, don't worry about the hurt being too hurt-y, as long as there's also comfort to go with it. But also, if you're squeamish yourself, don't feel like you need to amp up the injuries just to please me. Sometimes a conveniently twisted ankle is all one needs.



GENERAL LIKES:

Canon-divergent AUs, forks in the road, what if X instead of Y, fix-its for unhappy endings, alternate/mirror universes used in canons where they exist (for this exchange, Dark Matter and both Star Treks are great for this, and I could get behind something similar in Doom Patrol)

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)

If you want to go through my older letters, you'll probably find more.



ABOUT WRITING IN GENERAL:

All ratings are welcome for both sexual content and violence. I'd prefer no super chaste pre-slash.

I'm fine with all tenses and all POVs. If using 2nd person POV, I'd prefer it to not feel like reader fic, though.

I'm not a fan of poems as fics, and I tend to stay away from fics that are all epistolary and nothing else, but fics featuring these elements (so letters, emails, notes, poems, journal entries etc.) in addition to regular prose can be wonderful.



REQUESTS UNDER THE CUT:

( Onto the freeforms and prompts )

My AO3 for possible treaters: Mimm
I've requested fanfiction for all of these, but if anyone feels inspired to do fanart by all means do! Even the quickest, roughest sketch featuring my ship and something like a wound or a scar and a touch of some kind would be lovely.

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:

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.


( Fandom-specific thoughts and prompts )

Hello, person with common interests!

Whether you're completely new to me or we've bumped into each other the past, hi! I've done exchanges for years but thought I'd start this year with a blank slate, so to speak, and I won't be c&p'ing my older letters. This means my DNW list might look different, as does my likes list etc.

My likes haven't really changed, though, so if something you see gives you an idea and that particular prompt/comment isn't here, then yes, assume I still want it. It could be that I've gotten a treat for that prompt and feel satisfied enough to leave it out, but I will always adore more. ALWAYS.


From my sign-up:

DNW: Unrequested rape/noncon between pairing characters, character death, terminal illness, hopeless endings, porn without feelings, D/s, daddy kink, sex in public, sex featuring under 16s, pregnancy, children as the focus, weddings, acquiring pets, AUs that change the setting dramatically (modern/historical, coffeeshop, genderbend etc.), only aliens/sex pollen/mind control made them do it, meta, crossovers, unrequested poly or other relationships on the side, deliberate humiliation of a character by others

Notes about these:

Character death: There are canons where death is canonical (The Terror, for example) and I'm fine with a fic acknowledging death and loss, but ideally all my ships make it through the fic alive, or magically resurrect or whatever you think they should do in order to be less dead. I'm also sappy enough to like an afterlife fic. :) Laugh all you want, I don't care.

Other relationships on the side: In some cases there are canonical spouses, partners and families. Please don't create a poly relationship when I don't ask for it. I also don't want these characters happily cheating on anyone behind their back. You can, however, handwave their situation away by including a divorce or another sort of break-up (but don't just kill them or turn them into villains if they're not that in canon). Or set it early enough that they're not involved with anyone yet. If the infidelity is canonical then I'm better with it, but I prefer them coming to an agreement about an open relationship or anything similar.


Rating: Everything from G to E as long as it's shippy. I mean, I requested pairings only, so I think it's not awful of me to say that I wouldn't be happy with pure gen in this exchange. :) Otherwise I do enjoy friendship fics as well, so add in all the friends you want!

Length: I know the limit is 300 so obviously I don't demand longer than that. Just make it one 300-word thing instead of three unrelated 100-word drabbles, please? But I'm also into longfic, so there's absolutely no reason to worry about whether a fic is too short at 300 or too long at whatever k. If it's more than 299 words it'll be fine, though if it's, idk, 100k, I'm going to have to take a moment to get back to you for comments. :D


Bulletproof likes and general prompts:

You can ignore any of these prompts and write your own ideas. Just take a peek at the canon-specific DNWs (for some canons, not all) before you continue, ok? Or if there's a part of a prompt you like but it's not quite right, tweak it to your liking. These are all ships I crave so I'll take any 300-word piece you're inspired to write. Really.

Hello, fellow slasher person!

If you see this text, it's either because you're here during sign-ups or I've failed to finish my letter in time for the assignments. Uhh. It's coming, I promise. While you wait, feel free to poke around my earlier letters:

Dear Writer on LJ (goes further back in time)
Dear Writer on DW

'Tis done! (And long. So long.)

If you've read my previous letters, you'll see this one's different. I thought I'd try to be a bit more thorough. It's mostly taken off a half-finished project of mine, so if things sound a bit off or generic, it's simply because I didn't take extra time to tailor them for this particular ficathon.

In general, I'm a pretty easy reader to please, or so I'd like to think. :D So don't be to afraid of what to write for me. Chances are high I will love it whatever it is.

The following lists will be long and wordy. Please don't let that scare you off! :D I just want to explain better what I mean by something, so there's less confusion. If your mind screams ODAO, that's perfectly fine! Just take a look at the DNWs in the sign-up or here under the cut, ignore whatever else I've listed here, and you're good to go. Yes, you are.

( DNWs, dislikes and likes )

...and that list isn't even a complete list of things I like. Eep. But it'll do for now. I hope you can see something there that speaks to you if the sign-up itself left you puzzled.

Now onto the fandoms. I'll just copy & paste them from my sign-up. If I have something to add, it'll be here right after the copied bits. For most there's nothing to add, mainly because I'm open to anything you want to write.

I've requested fanfic for all, but if someone really wants to do a fanart treat I'd be thrilled!

Hello, my mystery author or random wandering fan!

First I want to assure you that I am an easy recipient. Or at least think I am. I do have my preferences like everyone, but it's pretty difficult to put me off a fic as long as you respect the DNWs, so whatever you write will be fine. :)

I've written several Dear Writer letters in the past, so here's a tag for them:
http://mimm.dreamwidth.org/tag/dear%20writer
https://littlemimm.livejournal.com/tag/dear%20writer (goes further back in time)

Dark Matter shows up in quite a few of them. Chrono just once, and I'll copy it here as well. The rest of these fandoms I haven't requested before.

DO NOT WANT: Heavy kinks (bdsm, fisting, scat, animal play, bestiality etc.), size/daddy/age kink, rape between requested people, A/B/O, permanent genderswap, mpreg, kidfic, recreational drug use. (None of these are trigger-level bad. I have no triggers that I know of.)

( Likes and dislikes )

And then onto the actual prompts. I promise the length of text is no indication of my preference. These are all fandoms and people I want to read about. I requested fic for each one, but I definitely wouldn't say no if someone wanted to do art as a treat. :)
