Penitence Road

Hello, and thanks for clicking through to my letter!  I've tried to lay out the kinds of things I like and the ones I don't in a hopefully-helpful way!  I've also included some quick summaries of my fandoms, some stuff about why I like them, and then blurbs on the characters I'm requesting, which segues into prompts, questions, and ideas.  If you see a prompt you like, that's great!  These are just prompts, though, not specific requests, so if you come up with your own idea that seems like something I'd like, feel free to run with that too!  These characters have little-to-nothing written about them, so pretty much anything you come up with is going to thrill me. 

For some non-fandom-specific guidelines, I really love little, lived-in details about how people connect with each other and adapt to one another, whether or not the relationship is romantic--all those little overlooked moments of intimacy in a close relationship of any kind. I like sibling stories, platonic lifemates, protector/protected relationships, battle couples and found families. I like small meetings fated to have large repercussions, and connections forged through shared experiences. I would far rather read about threesomes than love triangles, and I've never seen a canon with an OTEverybody option I didn't like.

I like the little details blown up to a larger scale as well--I love slice-of-life, worldbuilding and casefic, stories that have characters interacting with the world as much as they do each other. I enjoy stories that flesh out bits of the canon that we never saw. I also enjoy holiday-themed fic, particularly around this time of year, so if you have any thoughts in that vein, feel free to run with them. Any tense or POV is fine with me.

Provisos and Do Not Wants:

Darkfic: It depends on the fandom.  Please no for The Orphan's Tales; for Kurosagi, I'm fine with canon-accurate levels of gore and body horror, but please not happening to the main characters.  For Heartcatch, on the other hand, if you want to go pretty psychologically dark with Salamander, I'm fine with that, so long as it seems in-line with his eventual character arc. 

Porn: Definitely not for Kurosagi or The Orphan's Tales.  For Heartcatch, I'm fine with non-con and dub-con within the bounds of darkfic, as above, if it's between Salamander and Dune or Sabaku.  Between Salamander and Ange, though, if you go a romantic route, I'd rather the power dynamics stay pretty equal--no non- or dub-con. 

AUs: I'd prefer no AUs this year.

The basics out of the way, on to my fandoms!
