Dear Het Swap

impala_chickI'm so excited to read what you want to write. Most of my pairings are sort of rare, so I'm just excited we matched! I've just listed some suggestions below to help, in case you like prompts. Please write whatever rating you are comfortable with. I read PWP and Gen, and everything in between. The original works pairings seem to make great prompts, so I didn't write much about those below. As for fanvids, I love angsty vids, video essays, upbeat love songs, just about anything. Even crack or funny videos!
Things I like:
•Angst and female characters that face their darkness or maybe don't always make the "right" choices, and then have to deal with those consequences. Or maybe either character has to make terrible choices to protect the people they love.
•Women subverting gender roles in small or large ways: in public, at home, or in bed (ex. wearing a suit to an event, being the emotionally closed off one in a relationship, not being good at "girly" things, an AU where a woman leads an organization that is usually led by a man, etc)
•Characters being surprised or annoyed at themselves for catching feelings
•Humor or Characters who try to stay upbeat even when things aren't going great
•Ambiguous endings or hopeful endings (but everything does not have to be resolved by the end)
•Ghost/Demon/Monster/Supernatural entity creates problems or its intent is completely misinterpreted (either in a good or bad way)
•Badass women and the men who love & respect them
•Battle couples!
•Weddings, bachelor/ette parties, or the OTP going to the wedding of another couple
•Outsider POV of a couple who are trying to keep their relationship a secret or at least keep it on the down low
I don't really enjoy mundane AUs like coffee shop or library scenarios, but other AUs are super fun. Alternate Universes I read a lot are: canon divergent or "what if" re-imaginings of canon events, Dystopia/Apocalypse, In Space!, Professional Sports, WWII, Assassins/Spies, Pacific Rim, Paranormal AU, or Royalty AU (modern royalty or medieval royalty is great with me).
Smut Likes:
+Banter in bed
+Experienced character teaching inexperienced character about sex
+A character dealing with shame regarding sexual/kink desires
+Friends with benefits scenario turns into something more serious by accident
+Dirty talk and/or Verbal humiliation
+Object penetration, anal, or females pegging male characters (not necessarily in a BDSM/Dom way, but something more focused on role reversal or differing physical sensations)
+Any kind of oral fixation, rimming, cunnilingus, messy blowjobs
+Suit kink/all dressed up kink, where one character really digs the other characters' outfit(s) and they have sex mostly clothed
+Honor bondage, where a character tells the others not to move or tells them where to position their body
+Breath play, with hands or other things like corsets
Fandoms:
Teen Wolf
I love when the pack works together to solve problems, and I also don't mind humor or crack treated seriously, so any crazy scenarios or shenanigans you want to explore would probably be fun. I love canon divergence/post-canon fic - maybe Allison/Character B are making college work, or they are busy being super involved in pack politics and bringing different packs and/or hunter communities together, or maybe they are finally able to take a vacation... until they get interrupted? Allison as a ghost is fun. I also like fic where Allison is resurrected but the characters aren't quite sure if she's normal.
I love to see Melissa helping the McCall pack, but I'd also love to see her get a vacation! I want to know more about her backstory, or how she has had to deal with Mr. McCall. Also, Melissa being a totally badass nurse gives me life, but I'd totally be interested in a role reversal fic!
The Expanse
Jim/Naomi: They are such badasses, but they are so soft for each other! I love when they steal little private moments on the Roci, or when they work together to solve a problem. I also would love to see them angry with each other and then have to deal with that angst, maybe something related to Naomi's decision to stay on the Behemoth or with Jim taking a big risk on New Terra and not telling Naomi beforehand. I'd also love an AU where Naomi goes back to Earth with Jim to meet his huge family!
Chrisjen/Cotyar: Seeing Avasarala being protective of Coytar behind the scenes would be great. I'd also love more backstory. Why was Cotyar so loyal? How did he first meet Avasarala? Did he come to her son's funeral? Both of them on some side mission, maybe to find Bobby?, would be fun too. Or maybe Cotyar talks Avasarala into taking a vacation!
You're the Worst
I love these two with all of my heart. I still am not sure if I relate to Jimmy or Gretchen more. I'd love to see them going to another wedding together. I also love Sunday funday shenanigans and group dates. I like the idea of them facing their sorta shitty parents in some way and being there for each other (not necessarily confrontational, but just like a dinner/event). Either character supporting the other's career would be A+!
Medici
So much potential between Novella and Francesco! I want to know what Novella thinks about Francesco's darkness, and whether she's got a mean streak of her own. Maybe Novella has a plan to save their bank? Maybe it turns out that Francesco makes a great sugar daddy? Or maybe Novella is the one who finally puts him in his place (sexual or otherwise).
Merlin
Canon divergent fic and modern royalty AUs are my favorites. I love the idea of Merlin and Morgana facing some kind of magical horror together in order to protect Camelot, when no one else in the kingdom is even aware of the danger. I also enjoy dark AUs, where maybe Merlin joins Morgana or is more sympathetic to her view of the world. Exploration of druid or medieval lore would be a plus. I've always wanted Merlin and Morgana to uncover the secret horrors of Uther's purge - maybe they find mass graves from the purge, or a "war trophy" room or horrible prison that Uther has been keeping a secret, and they take action. If Morgana is the source of terror for Merlin, that would be interesting too. I'm fine if Arthur is in the dark about magic or if he's involved in the plot. It's okay with me if Merlin and/or Morgana discuss actual tension/perceived sexual tension between Merlin/Arthur or Morgana/Arthur.
Shadowhunters
Clary/Jace: The ending of the series broke my heart, so any fix it or AU would make my day. I also loved how tender they were at Alec and Magnus' wedding, so any fic about wedding planning shenanigans (i.e. Bachelor party gone wrong? Calling in Clary for help with planning or a disastrous situation? the pair of them just reflecting on whether or not they want to get married?) would be fun. Jace learning to improve his communication skills would be a big plus. Or each of them pushing their boundaries in bed and figuring out what they both like would be great. I'd love to read about the AU versions of them!! I also just love them being a battle couple.
Simon/Isabelle: I love their development over the series, so any continuation of their lives after, or of Izzy training Simon, would be fantastic. A friends with benefits AU where they finally realize their feelings would be fun too. I also love when Izzy fangirls over Simon at one of his concerts, even if it's in a low key way. Simon being super impressed with Izzy's skills while still being a badass vampire is my jam. Also, if you want to go dark/angsty with Izzy's addiction and Simon's vamp blood, I'm here for it. This is probably the only ship where I'm like, yes bloodplay! lol.
