Triggers: none
Squicks: needles, vomit/stuffing, scat/watersports, mpreg. If you want to write a common trigger/squick but think you shouldn't because I didn't explicitly say I was okay with it, consider this your permission.
General dislikes: issuefic, super fluffy fluff, non-canon children, non-canon death, AUs or crossovers, crack, generic PWP (porn is more than okay, but I like it backed up with interesting emotions/psychology/character motivations), OCs as main characters, gratuitous character bashing
General likes: grey morality, flawed characters, atmosphere, slice of life, domesticity, found families, h/c, angst, UST, pining, banter, snarky humor, bittersweet happy endings, autumn and winter, holiday fic (especially if it's not Hallmark Channel perfect), intimacy (especially non-sexual intimacy), polyamory/open relationships, psychologically interesting kinks, cities, reckless endangerment, subverted roles, culture clashes, running away from home
The Scorpio Races - Maggie Stiefvater (Puck Connelly, Sean Kendrick)
I'd love something about their life post-canon. They're an unconventional couple, so how does the rest of Skarmouth react to their relationship? Do they make unconventional choices with regards to marriage and children? Does Sean get along with Puck's brothers? Smut is more than okay, but not necessary. Something scary with the capail uisce would be really awesome. The island is really my favorite character, so I'd take whatever worldbuilding you want to throw at me.
Not much to say, really. This book broke my heart in every way and I'd love anything you wrote about it. I have headcanon for when (late '10s or early '20s) and where (Donegal or Northern Ireland) the story takes place, but I'm interested in other interpretations too.
New Girl (any--Coach, Jess, Nick, Winston)
I love the chemistry between Nick and Jess and how their weirdness totally complements each other. Since they're canonically pretty kinky, I would love fic about them trying a really off the wall fetish with hilarious results. I'm also really into M/M/F with them, whether the third is one of Jess's love interests (Goesinyou would be pretty hot) or a guy from the loft. The Bulls/Pistons episode made me ship Coach with both Nick and Jess, so any flavor of that is more than welcome.
I would also love slash between the guys, especially if it comes with awkward sexuality questioning. What would it do to the loft if two of the guys started messing around? How would Jess react? How would it impact the relationships between the other guys? I'm fond of polyamory, bisexuality, and kinkiness, but don't let that limit you! I'll read any pairing or moresome (or friendship fic) as long as it has the awkward, funny sweetness of the canon relationships. Feel free to put Schmidt in there too!
This show is stupidly charming. I love how ridiculous everyone is. I love how the loft is its own ecosystem. I love how emotional they are about each other, especially the guys. I love the weird gender dynamics. Schmidt/Nick is pretty low on my interest list, but I love Schmidt being ridiculous, so if you have a funny idea for them, go for it!
The Iliad - Homer (Achilles, Patroklos, Briseis)
I picked these three on the off chance of getting some OT3 stuff, but I'd be just as happy with friendship fic, romance between just two of them (Briseis' lament for Patroklos in book 19 gets me every time), or any combination thereof. I'm interested in the weird balance of power between the three of them--what is it about those two that unravels Achilles so easily? What does he get from them that he doesn't get elsewhere? How do Briseis and Patroklos relate when Achilles isn't there? Is there another world where they got a happy ending, or is the happiness they find in the present enough? My overwhelming love for Achilles is rivaled only by my burning hatred of the guy, so if you can evoke both, I'll love you forever. If you feel the need to address the inherent consent issues, I'd prefer dub-con over non-con, although neither is a trigger.
Oh man, this poem. I love that divine, untouchable Achilles is humanized by a slave girl and an ordinary soldier (and an old man whom you're more than welcome to include), not by fearsome Hector or powerful Agamemnon. I love how a poem that's 90% violence porn is really about the meaning of life and death and humanity. I love that Briseis helps pick up the pieces of Achilles after Patroklos dies. I love how hugely significant Briseis is despite having almost no dialogue, and if you want to focus on her, that's great! It would also be great if you included my man Odysseus, or any of the other characters, really. I just love this poem a whole lot, and I'd love to read any interesting takes on it.
Also, I've seen a million modern AUs where Achilles and Patroklos are musicians/photographers/baristas/philoso
Thanks and happy writing!
