Dear raremaleslashex writer,

[hearthouses]

Thank you so much for writing for me! My letters are usually fairly long and detailed, as I hope to cover enough ground to give you as much info in case you are not sure of what to write, but feel free to ignore most of this letter but the DNWs if something sparks you that’s not completely like what I prompted. I just want you to feel inspired and comfortable! I chose fanfic as my freeform tags because I'm not sure how to prompt for art, but if anything sparks your creativity for art, I'd love to see what you come up with!

I mostly use this journal as a private place to post thoughts I’m not comfortable posting on my tumblr, which is where I mostly hang out, making graphics and reblogging things—if you choose to visit, it’s good place to snoop to get a generalized glimpse at what I like.

In an effort to make my letter as skimmable as possible, here are some links to help guide you to whatever interests you and help you skip the rest.

↳ General Things I Like: I am a very emotionally oriented person. I love exploring a character’s thoughts and feelings, what it is that makes that character tick and make the choices they do. I’d rather have purely character thought-piece over a complex well-plotted fic with no emotional heart or depth. I love relationships: their dynamics, how they support one another, how they relate to each other, how they interact, where their wants and needs match up, where they differ, how their different parts interconnect or pull-apart.

I adore friendships in all forms and I love exploring what it means to be friends and the bond between characters. I love emotional history and how that affects a relationship dynamic between characters. Friends-turned-lovers is a favorite trope of mine, as well as love/hate, enemies-turned-lovers dynamics. I love snark and banter and flirting, but I also love new relationship awkwardness, relationship negotiation, and getting-to-know-you bonding. For any relationship to happen, I want some connection at the base before it turns romantic or sexual. I love developing relationships: relationship conflicts after the characters got together, trying to figure out how to make things work, some things maybe not working at first, temporary breakups. If you’re dealing with a poly-relationship, I’d love to see how the characters deal with that new dynamic and how they adjust into their new roles, how the dynamic changes (for better or for worse). I love unlikely friendships/romances, complicated relationships, group dynamics, partnerships.

I also love fucked up, varying-degrees-of-unhealthy, too-close-for-comfort relationships. Codependent relationships, obsessive relationships, completely-fixated-on-the-other relationships. I love when a character is willing to literally let the world burn, should the world try to come between them and the person they love (romantically or platonically), choosing their partner above anyone else. I really love when this is all a choice, rather than conditioning (though I do love when this closeness is born from abusive homes and situations, with the two characters banding together, them-against-the-world). Two-halves-of-a-whole-person type of relationships are my weakness—I love dynamics where the other can’t function without the other and opt for self-destruction in the face of separation (via either substance abuse or moral/character disintegration), even leading to suicide ideation. Them being equally obsessive and fucked up, and extremely invested in their relationship is what I live for. Utter devotion is key.

I also enjoy something in between the two extremes—characters relying on each other and needing each other, making sure the other is okay, taking care of each other, especially in regards to trauma and/or mental illness. Basically I love messy, codependent relationships with dysfunctional people who love each other and are terrible to each other sometimes, but also healthy, loving, mutually supportive relationships, where people take care of each other and communicate with each other, and everything in between or in combination.

I really dig domesticity and what makes a home a home, and how being a family to each other plays into that and how the characters come together in that way. I adore makeshift families and kid!fic in any form (so long as the children are written realistically and not cute accessories—I love reading about the difficulties of parenting, how it changes the relationships, characters reacting to being a parent—especially if they came from an abusive home). I love cooking and doing chores, and quiet breakfast scenes over coffee or tea. If you want to add pets, that would be wonderful! (I love all kinds of animals, but cats have a special place in my heart.

I love porn and wouldn’t mind a PWP piece, if that’s where your heart takes you, but I’d prefer it to be emotionally anchored; not necessarily romantic, but something with a connection and a reason for it happening beyond two (or three!) pretty faces.

↳ Some of my kinks include: trust (I have a huuuge trust kink that can usually make most kinks work if the basis comes from how intensely two characters trust each other and their willingness to give themselves to the other person in every way, and vice versa), angry sex, fighting-that-leads-to-sex, powerplay, D/s (that’s more focused on taking care of each other than humiliation), switching/no set sexual “roles”, topping from the bottom, service kink (getting off on giving pleasure rather than receiving), oral sex, licking, fingering, dirty talk (please no humiliation), praise kink, teasing, body worship, sensory overload (being overwhelmed by sensations, being touched immediately after orgasm), biting/marking/scratching, begging, public sex, heat-of-the-battle sex, frantic sex, jealousy and possessiveness, bloodplay, voyeurism, bondage, somnophilia, size differences, partially-clothed or mostly-clothed sex, handjobs, rimming, frottage, intercrural, double-penetration, masturbation/fantasizing about the other before getting together, mutual masturbation, drunk or high sex (both the emotionally messy, dubcon-y, bad idea kind and the sloppily affectionate consensual kind), rough sex, characters who kink on violence and danger (gunplay, knifeplay, breathplay, exhibitionism, etc.), hatesex, scar kink, sex for comfort and solace, dressing and undressing, messy badly-negotiated (or unnegotiated) sexual desires, inexperience, sexuality exploration, first times, clothes kink (suits, uniforms, gloves, boots etc.), neat characters being disheveled for once; casual characters cleaning up nicely, clothes-sharing, choosing clothes for the other person as kink/foreplay, sex in other places than a bed: on tables, against walls, on the floor, on a chair, in the shower, messiness (sweat, come, etc.), competence kink (characters kinking on the skills set of another, i.e. Seth’s admiration/fixation on Richie cracking safes), oral fixation (smoking, fingersucking, shotgunning, etc.), sex where emotions are mixed, or difficult to acknowledge, or emotionally hurtful to acknowledge, sex that doesn't heal anybody's deep emotional wounds, moody messy melancholy sex.

I’d really love all of this to be paired with tenderness and sweetness, just little touches here and there: hand-holding, forehead touching, forehead/face kisses, snuggling and cuddling, nuzzling, hugs from behind, neck kisses, scar kissing. Lots of kissing in general is lovely. I love the “we like each other so much that we can’t stop touching each other in any way” trope a lot. Sharing food, sharing clothes, sharing beds. Sleep related things in general: comfort after a nightmare, falling asleep together, one character watching the other sleep. Characters feeling safe and cherished by the other. Simple casual intimacy is fantastic and very much appreciated.


↳ Random and miscellaneous things I love:

backstory, future fic, unreliable narrators, outsider POV adding new insight, outsider POV in general, snapshots, missing scene fics, character studies, missing scenes, codas, alternate canons, semi-alternate universes, and canon divergences, and/or slight changes to canon, “what if” AUs

epistolary fic, or a “five times something happened” type of fic, or a “five things you didn’t know,” fics that start in the middle with flashbacks, play with format, if you want

happy endings, bittersweet endings, downer endings—whatever works for your story: no happy domestic fics with sudden swerves into death fic, but if something is generally melancholy to begin with, go with the downer ending

road trips, small towns, traveling, a sense of place, in between moments and in transit, a strong sense of a setting—I really love the aesthetics of being on the road, having to stay in crappy motels and living in and out of suitcases

communicating without words

established relationships/friendships, and domesticity with slice-of-life that details their routine or daily life

the intimacy of living together for a while, or people learning to share space—people sharing household chores or cooking food for each other, people having silly arguments with each other over routine things or watching movies together

awkward wooing, or when people can’t say things in words so they say it in action

slow burns, UST, people reconnecting again, getting back together, learning to love each other again, pining for each other

reunions, a strong sense of history between characters

intense protectiveness, will-kill-for-you-without-thinking protectiveness—or the flipside, will-lay-down-my-life self-sacrificial type of protectiveness

trust—either people who trust each other or people with trust issues

surprising intellect from unsuspecting characters

small but meaningful moments

bad weather, quiet rainy days, autumn, the ocean, the desert, the woods, libraries, characters reading to each other, sense of time passing, the change of seasons, being snowed in

found families

complicated relationships and internal conflicts—I like relationships where not everything is clear cut between people, when conflict stems from personal issues or clashing, rather than something external, where there’s angst and anger between these characters, but also genuine love and fondness

awful people being tender to each other, terrible people who don’t know how to love, or trying very hard to be good to each other (with some or no success)

hurt/comfort of ANY KIND—illness or wounded or just having a bad day, any kind of physical or emotional bad stuff happening to characters (either the main point of the fic or in the background/stemming from canon events), and characters looking after one another, especially tending to injuries, patching the other up, assisting with a drug recovery, to helping each other cope with PTSD or loss, helping them day to day—just a person taking care of someone as a practical way to show love

darkfic of any kind—psychological mind games, body horror, creepy obsessive claustrophobic dynamics, erotic horror, desperate broken violent lives of crime, break-it fics (unhappy or unresolved endings are okay!)

focus on mental illness or trauma, such as panic attacks, character adjusting to each other’s needs, messy coping mechanisms and “bad victim” traits

exploring physical disabilities (losing sight/hearing/the ability to a speak)

irrational ugly emotions, like jealousy or resentment or paranoia

claustrophobic and isolation stories, be it physical or emotional isolation

angst: self-doubts, guilt, shame, nightmares, fears, self-destructive tendencies, alcohol/drug abuse, character-appropriate self-harm, suicide ideation

monsters of any kind—vampires, werewolves, merpeople, witches, ghosts, humanity as monstrosity, the “monster” being more human than the “human”, the interplay between where monstrosity begins and humanity ends, struggles with monsterhood; I love human/monster pairings where the human is fascinated with their otherness and cherishes their monster partner

characters who aren’t sure how to “people” properly, characters who aren’t good at being “human.” Inhumanity, especially when love is demonstrated or expressed differently, but still love

fairytale themes: retellings, use of fairytales as a structure, or a fairytale structured story

reincarnation or soulmates, with the relationship feeling old and constant, or the messy complications that come with being soulmates, “wrong” soulmates, character reliving the same time loops, losing each other and colliding with each other and missing each other completely, past lives, epic-across-time stories

↳ DNWs: I don’t like radical AUs (unless specified), like coffee shop AU or college AUs. I have nothing really against them, but I prefer to read about characters in the canon setting.

I prefer not to read about excessive abuse, but I understand it’s inclusion if it’s part of a character’s backstory. I like reading about the aftereffects of abuse, of trauma, but not the actual traumatic events in detail. Torture or anything further than canon typical violence.

Extreme underage, especially with adults is deeply uncomfortable for me. I am okay with young-ish teenagers (14/15) experimenting with each other, but with my age differential ships, I’d prefer the younger character to be at least sixteen and no romanticization of the dynamic and acknowledgement of the inherent power dynamic at play.

Mentally ill or neurotypical characters treated as evil or terrible—it’s fine if they're experiencing ableism, but I don't want the whole fic to be about that.

No deathfic unless the characters die or have died in canon, or a villain is being killed. Referring to the major character deaths that occur in canon and exploring those after effects is okay, but otherwise, I’d rather not read it. I don’t consider it deathfic if someone dies and then comes back in the same fic.

Miscommunication as a plot point. Cheating/infidelity. Character bashing, ship bashing (if you really can’t stand a character or a ship, I’d prefer you shunt them off to the side or pretend they don’t exist entirely).

My squicks are: parental or cross-gen incest (sibling or cousin incest is totally okay), bestiality (xenophilia in terms of sentient monsters, on the other hand, is encouraged), a/b/o, watersports, scat or most hardcore kinks, humiliation (sexual or otherwise), and rigid top/bottom roles (I prefer switching! But if you have a top/bottom preference for certain characters, that’s okay, I just rather it implied in the fic that’s not all they do).

Non-con is a hardline trigger for me, so I’d rather avoid it unless it’s part of a character’s backstory (I’m okay with dub-con though—either messy and fucked up stuff with one character taking advantage of the other, or “we all got drunk and had sex together, whoops”).

A Charm of Magpies Series - K. J. Charles
↳ Ships: Jonah Pastern/Ben Spenser, Stephen Day/Lucien Vaudrey

Lucien and Stephen are so interesting and fully-formed for such short novellas. I am really fascinated how quickly they fell for each other and how magic must have played a small part in the intensity of their feelings. Given that Stephen has bonded himself to Lucien through channeling him for magic, I would really like that explored as a soulbond that keeps getting more and more intense every time they have sex—would Lucien and Stephen start feeling what the other feels physically? Hear the thoughts inside the other’s head? How would that feel in a sexual context? I’d love to see the intensity of their connection explored in how they start to feel like one in the same, like they’re sharing the same body—the weirdness of that, how that deepens their bond and makes them excessively intertwined. Lucien is fascinated with Stephen’s magical abilities and gets off on how dangerous and competent Stephen can be with his abilities and I want to see more of that kink— especially in how Lucien loves to feel Stephen’s hands on him. Please play with that more, maybe in having Stephen wash or bathe Lucien, or just simply giving him a handjob.

On that note, I really enjoy how creepy and fucked up the books can get—the horror aspect of the magic used within the series is one of my favorite aspect of the novels. I’d love to see that utilized in a sex but messy sense! Either Stephen drinking Lucien’s blood while in bed and getting kind of a magical high, or Lucien becoming so trusting and interested in Stephen’s magic that he is willing to have Stephen control his mind during sex and allowing Stephen to control him and tell him what to do would be amazing. I would also love to read a situation where for some kind of magical reason they must have sex in public, or as in the tag I requested-- fuck or die—either they’re both cursed, or one is cursed and the other is saving them, that’s up to you! I’m just interested in ritualistic aspect of magic and how so much of the magic in the series is organic, bodily-based. If you want to do more with different bodily fluids besides blood (like comeplay!), I would be into that, so long as it doesn’t veer into watersports or scat—blood, saliva, come, tears are all fair game though.

Stephen and Lucien have such an interesting, character-based sexual dynamic in terms of how and why they fall into a D/s relationship. Stephen is always in charge and in control that he needs Lucien to take care of him and ease that burden. I would love to see more of that, with Lucien dominating Stephen and pushing him to his limits, tying Stephen up and blindfolding him while Lucien worships his body until it’s almost too much stimulation then bringing him down with careful sweet aftercare, either by cuddling him or cleaning Stephen up. The class dynamics between them are interesting due to the fact Lucien’s wealth is mostly self-made, so Lucien knows what it’s like to be poor, so he just wants to provide and care for Stephen, who understandably chafes under that treatment—I kind of love Lucien’s need to care for him and dress Stephen in better clothes and keep him in good health, so I would be into that being part of Lucien’s domination of Stephen, making him accept new clothes and Lucien dressing him, as well as feeding him.

I also really love Stephen’s desire to “service” Lucien as a tool that helps him calm down and get some focus—one of the hottest scenes for me was when Stephen walked into Lucien’s apartment and just dropped to his knees and I would love to see more, especially with Stephen being the aggressor. On Lucien’s end, I really really love how his style of dirty talk is very possessive but also very appraising, so please include that as much as you wish! Especially if it gets Stephen off. Lucien’s possessiveness over Stephen is super hot to me, I love it whenever he calls Stephen his and likes how his tattoo has chosen to stay on Stephen, so more of that will always be welcome. Tattoo kink in general would be lovely, especially in the circumstance of them being soul bonded.

This is probably a long shot because I understand it’s a part of the character dynamics of Stephen and Lucien, but I would really love Stephen topping Lucien for the first time, or just dominating him, making him serve him (with or without mind control!). I very much like switching in my dynamics and while I understand that they have this dynamic for a reason, I’m interested in them trying to explore other things in the future, especially since Lucien seems… flexible. I’d love for it to be a fantasy of Lucien’s and Stephen tries, but there’s a lot of first time jitters, feeling self-conscious about his size compared to Lucien—or Stephen feels confident like he does doing magic and finds he likes making Lucien beg, too. Or if you don’t feel comfortable going full top!Stephen, I would adore topping from the bottom where Lucien gets tied up and Stephen rides him, like the scene in A Case of Possession in the bathroom.

If you’d rather not write porn, I really love domesticity! I’d love to see anything about Lucien and Stephen making a home together, perhaps adopting a pet or taking in some unwanted kids to raise together. Or Lucien finally taking Stephen away to show him the world and their adventures traveling would be lovely.



Jonah and Ben really caught me by surprise in how much I love them? This universe is so dark in the main story thread, but I love how with Jonah, because he’s a windwalker, he takes such JOY in his magic and Jackdaw felt really cathartic because it was still heavy, but also so very hopeful. I would love more exploration of Jonah’s magic and how shares that with the people he loves and with Ben— one of my very favorite scenes was the scene where they went windwalking, so more of that would be amazing.

I would also like a pre-novel fic that expands on how they fell in love and lived together as lovers and just MORE of that. I really am fascinated by how organically they fell in love and how quickly they got serious, then living together, especially during that time period. I would love anything domestic during this period of their lives, a slice of life piece would be beautiful. I also am interested in more expansion on Jonah leaving Ben to serve hard labor. I really really liked the drama and the pain and hurt of that betrayal.

Speaking of the betrayal, I really, really liked the kind of dubcon-y sex scene where Ben takes all his anger out on Jonah and Jonah is just begging for it because he’s so desperate for him and he’ll take him regardless? I really want more of that dynamic and that moment, I'd love further exploration of that, more porn like that or Jonah just throwing himself at Ben's mercy. Please.

I also would just love post-novel fic when they're happy in their inn with the family they've found and Jonah being accepted and them brings safe in the village. It’s so Nice and I just want to explore that more because it’s so RARE, but also lovely and sometimes I just really want fluffy things. For Jonah and Ben, I just really love how much they’re just trying to make a home and a family with one another, and how much they’ve fought to have just that, so I would love to see more of them getting to be simply happy and safe and loved.

And of course I want kinky sex magic. I always want kinky sex magic.




Dead Ringers (1988)
↳ Ships: Beverly Mantle/Elliot Mantle

This film was tailor-made for me. I really adore everything about David Cronenberg as a director, especially in the 70's and 80's—he just has a way in tapping into what exactly I love about horror. The body horror, mind screws, madness, and weird philosophical underpinnings about humanity and inhumanity that he chooses to explore are everything I love about the genre and his films. But what sets Dead Ringers apart for me personally is the emphasis on the connection between Beverly and Elliot and how they share everything, from their careers, to women, to experiences. I love the tug of war between them and their identities and question of whether they’re two people at all, or if they are a single entity.

I’d love a fic set somewhere pre-canon. What were they like as children? As teenagers? The flashback at the start of the movie was really interesting in terms of how they purposefully and deliberately cut themselves off from their peers as young kids--I’d love more exploring that throughout their lives, their codependence, and them being or becoming a single unit of a person. Show me the development of that and how that grows into an incestuous relationship between them.

I’d be so interested in something that explores their sex lives pre-movie. I know this is a slash exchange, but in case you’re interested, I’d be intrigued by them having an actual threesome with another woman—maybe an AU when Elliot does get Beverley to have threesome with him, or more creepy dreams with Beverly and Claire, or maybe pre-canon stuff where they’ve done threesomes before. I’m really interested in the scene where Elliot hires the twin sex workers and asks one of them to call him “Elly” and the other “Bev”. I’d love something that explores more of that—perhaps a fixation on other twins, or just exploring Elliot’s psychosexual fixation on his brother, both as a person and “being” his brother.

If you’re so inclined, I’d love to read hurt/comfort for them. Some of my favorite parts of the movie were Elliot trying hard to put his brother together and fix him, and the reversal of that at the end. I’d love to see maybe an AU where Beverly doesn’t separate the twins, but does other things to help Elliot instead. Maybe an AU where they leave their lives together and run off somewhere else to help each other cope with their madness? That’s not to say I would hate a fic that keeps the original ending because I think the ending is so fitting, but I’d be interested in something that expands their dynamic beyond that place.

Their identity issues fascinate me, I’d love a fic exploring that—given everyone confuses them or doesn’t think or know there’s two of them, maybe something about how they’re becoming a single entity. Less separating the twins and more merging into one, either literally or just metaphorically, with Beverly struggling to tell himself apart from his brother or something like that—both would be really interesting. I loved the nightmare sequence with Claire biting their umbilical cord that attaches them, and their fixation on conjoined twins, so anything that includes the visceral body of their connection would be amazing.

Lastly, I am generally not a huge AU person—I find myself craving canon-based fic more and more, but I think a vampire AU for these two in particular, or even just monster AU, would be really interesting. The twins feel very otherworldly to begin with, so maybe an AU when they’re already vampires or were always monsters in literal ways, or maybe they become monsters—maybe instead of killing his brother, Beverly turns his brother into a vampire or something like that. The main point here is VAMPIRES AND MONSTERS though, and how that affects their uncomfortable, fucked-up codependent relationship.




The Exorcist (TV)
↳ Ships: Marcus Keane/Tomas Ortega

God, I am forever sad that this show got cancelled. If someone told me that I would love a show based on The Exorcist universe five years ago, I would have laughed, but this show is wonderfully constructed and I love the mix of horror, religion, and a sense of hope and belief. Tomas and Marcus are on such opposite ends of similar pathways, and I love how they affect one another and how they play off each other. I just miss them! Bring them back to me! I am still distraught that they break up and Marcus leaves him, then when Marcus FINALLY HEARS GOD AGAIN, he says Tomas’ name and I just want someone to fix it, tell me the story of them coming back together, of them being ordained by God soulmates, of Marcus finding his way back to belief because Tomas is so full of belief.

I’d also like anything from the time of them going on the road and travelling from town to town looking for demonic possessions and like living out of hotels and in each other’s spaces. I would really love anything from that era of their transitional period where they choose to go in on this together and now are living in close quarters. I would love to see anything about them saving people, but also getting to know one another, but also kind of being on the run, like a holy Bonnie and Clyde.

I would also like creepy possessed!Tomas trying to seduce Marcus and talking about his desire for Tomas, or vice versa. I like the use of demons as kind of a way to speak ugly truths, even if they also lie, so I would love for either of them to have to face the other while possessed and have to listen to the demon us what is in their minds to manipulate them. Also, more of that fucked up dream world from S1 that Marcus had to work his way out of. I would also be down with an AU Tomas gets possessed long term and Marcus has to deal with a demon in the body of his friend/brother/soulmate in order to save him? For this, creepy dubcon porn is totally okay!

Or if you want to go full AU, a role reversal where Marcus isn’t an excommunicated priest, but still with the church and Tomas shows up as a rogue exorcist who makes him want to break his vows? YEAH, I'm all for that. Or, because I’m in this mood, a Good Omens-style AU where Marcus is a demon and Tomas is an angel. Go wild!

Just—I also want ALL THE RELIGIOUS KINK. I am going to just list my tags for we die like fenbecause yeah, I want all of that in porn, and it does a really good job at getting across what I want (you can use any of these as a prompt!): Religious Imagery & Symbolism, Religious Guilt, Priest Kink, Confessional Sex, Bondage, Car Sex, Soulmates, Church Sex, Demonic Possession, Improper Use of a Rosary, On the Run, Blood Sharing, Secret Relationship, Confessions, God Complex, Prophetic Visions, Mutual Pining.




Exquisite Corpse - Poppy Z. Brite
↳ Ships: Johnnie Boudreaux/Etienne Boudreaux, Jay Byrne/Andrew Compton

This book was a wild id-party ride, from start to finish, and at points, I wasn’t sure if I loved it or it repulsed me, but I kept reading, finished it, and it still haunts me to this day and I feel like I need to explore more from the story and its characters.

Johnnie Boudreaux and Etienne Boudreaux are such a small slice of the novel, the entirety of their story takes place within a few pages, but that moment really struck me and I am really really fascinated by their backstory. It’s tragic and painful, and I would like to know everything about them. How did their relationship start, especially with their age difference? How did they get together, how did their relationship progress? How did they get kicked out, and how does their sister feel about them?

I don’t want an extended focus on AIDS, but it's such an important part of the story, and I wouldn't want to cut it out entire. I'm curious about how they both got infected—did they sleep with other people? Drugs? Feel free to work that aspect in.

Honestly, I just really want someone to tell me their story, which is hard because it’s literally just two pages of the book and we never meet Etienne, but I would like to know him! How and why did their incest start, how did they lived afterwards? Why their baby sister still hangs around them? I am okay with death fic because I like how fucked up it is that they buried him themselves. I just want the whole gothic, awful story.



Jay Byrne and Andrew Compton, both fascinating individually and explosive together. I am interested in their relationship to cannibalism and how they see cannibalism as like High Romance and that they would think eating each other would be an amazing act of love, so I would like to explore that. Like, this is a weird request and feel free to be as gross as you want with this. I'd be really happy if you write them eating each other without either of them dying, but I would also enjoy high key Romantic death fic in which they devour each other, somehow. This is the only time I want death fic however, otherwise I want them both to live.

I am also interested in how they both kill because they’re lonely and they “love” their victims and never want them to leave, and how that translates to them falling in love with each other—each living men? I would really love something that dives in and explores how their different pathologies work in adjacent to them being in love with each other, and how it would change and shift in light of their relationship to each other. I would rather you didn’t draw from the real life serial killers Brite was “inspired by” as Brite used both Dahmer and Nilsen very, very loosely, and I know too much about the cases that it might throw me from the story a bit.

I would love to see like… kinky roleplay where they each play the “victim” and let the other drug them or let them choke them out to passing out, or like sexy violent torture between them that’s still consensual? I'm so fascinated by their relationship and WHY they love each other and how they work because they’re like feral monsters who kill because of their inability to connect, but somehow made THIS connection.

Jumping off that, I want an AU where Jay lives and they go on a cross country murder and mayhem romantic road trip. I'd love to see how they both work as solitary, product serial killers, who have fallen in love and want each other and each other's living bodies. How they make that switch from loving a corpse to each other, or do they make the switch? Do they imagine killing each other? What happens if they fight? I would love all the fucked up dysfunction of their dynamic extended into an AU where Jay isn’t dead.

I have DNWs for rape and torture, but it's okay to work that into this scenario, given that's their MO, as long it’s more fade to black, than excessively detailed.




From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series
↳ Ships: Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko, Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko/Freddie Gonzalez, Scott Fuller/Carlos Madrigal, Scott Fuller/Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko, Scott Fuller/Tommy

This is the show of my heart. If you’ve taken a look around my tumblr, then you will have noticed it’s basically my life. It’s such a small fandom and I wish every day it was bigger because I love it so much. It combines two things I really love in such a beautiful way—the crime, action genre with vampires and horror elements, all with a Mesoamerican mytharc that sets it apart from so many shows in the same vein. It’s currently in production limbo, possibly cancelled, but all the episodes are on Netflix if any of this appeals to you and you have no idea what this show is. If you’re looking for a show about violent, vicious codependent criminal brothers being dragged into world of monsters, then this is the show for you.



Scott is one of my favorite characters in the series and I’m always endlessly sad that he was so underutilized throughout the series, so anything with him would be amazing, but I specifically want something that explores the untapped potential of his dynamics with both Seth and Richie that the show teased and hinted towards, but never fully expanded upon.

I’d love a post-s2 AU set after Kate’s death, where Scott sticks around Jackknife Jed’s with the Geckos for a while. It’d be great to see them take care of him out of guilt for how they fucked up his family and were the catalyst in their deaths, but also out of worry for him and his mental health. I’d love to watch Scott become a fucked up, little brother figure to them. Maybe Scott guilt trips them for all they’ve caused him while he’s there, and there’s tension, but he’s still sticking around because he has nowhere else to go. Take this wherever you want, though I see this as a one-sided thing on Scott’s end with him developing a crush on Seth over prolonged exposure (or Riche, or both), but Geckos still think of him as a kid and wouldn’t go there, though I’m okay with bed sharing and maybe ‘let you down easy’ kisses that Scott initiates. I just want Scott getting awkward, semi-angry crushes and looking for both affection and a new father figure in the wrong places, and it coming out very twisted in a psychosexual way.

I’d also be down for a fic from Scott’s POV on the dynamic between Seth and Richie, focusing on their incestuous relationship and Scott’s reaction to it—how does he feel when he finds out? I’d love something where it slowly hits him through various touches between Seth and Richie, and just watching them together before he catches them in an intimate moment. If you want to have Scott being a voyeur while Seth and Richie have sex and his emotions and physical responses to that, go for it.

Or if you prefer, a post-s3 AU that’s set many years into the future and where Kate dies of old age, would be lovely and fascinating. I imagine Scott ends up seeking solace with Seth and Richie because they’re the last people left who knew him when he was human—I’d want Seth to have become a culebra to be with Richie in this version, because Richie without Seth makes me sad. I can imagine the relationship getting physical here, given the fact Scott is probably about eighty emotionally, even if he still looks like a teenager. Comfort sex between the three of them is what I’m requesting here, really. I’d love it if the story explored the dynamic between how Scott looks and his actual age and how Seth and Richie respond to that after all these years, though.

But I also want something set during season three. I have complicated feelings towards the season as a whole, but I loved having Scott be working with the Geckos. I’d love something that explores the dynamic between Seth and Scott, something that’s bitter, ugly, and angry, with Richie being a soothing, balancing force that gets high with Scott (what can I say, I really liked that scene where he gives him weed to smoke) and they talk about Kate. I’m still uncomfortable with either Seth or Richie doing sexual things with Scott because I feel they see him as a kid, but feel free to push it a bit here—Scott kissing one, or both of them and it going a bit further before someone puts a stop to it, Scott seeking them out in sexual ways due to his anger and personal self-destructiveness. I’d just love anything that explores Scott’s feelings towards both Geckos, Richie’s feelings over how Scott reminds him of Seth when he was younger and how that makes him feel like a new little brother to him, Seth’s feelings about how he sees himself reflected back when he looks at Scott, and how that all gets twisted up and comes out.



Seth/Richie is my OTP of the show, so anything you write for me for them would be greatly appreciated and adored. I love both Seth and Richie so much—together and individually. It’s the ship of my dreams—two messy, fucked up codependent brothers so twisted around the bend for each other where nothing actually can come between them (except each other), the pair of them growing up as two pieces of the same whole, not actually complete without the other, a matching set. I love their coded language of mottos and catchphrases and secret handshakes, I love their banter and their bickering, I love their love of film and film references. Their shared history of violence and abuse is so important to me and how I view them and how they were shaped. I love the fact that Richie killed their father for Seth, to keep Seth safe, to save both of them from more abuse and I love that Seth never full knew, yet still commemorated the act with a tattoo that covers his entire arm—wearing his heart, quite literally, on his sleeve. There is so much for me with these two that so many things would make me happy.

From the ground up, I’d love a pre-series fic that focuses on them coming together in an incestuous relationship—how they grew up isolated and depending upon each other. I have my own headcanons for how this happened, but I’d love to see a new, refreshing take and always open to exploring new avenues for how Seth and Richie come together. I’d prefer the focus to be on fraught their relationship is and how desperate and clingy they are to each other, and for that to be equal between them—they both show that in different ways (Seth is louder, more action-driven and Richie is more internal, and quiet in his love), but I don’t want to see a situation where one loves and sacrifices more for the other or where one is shown to love the other less. Uncle Eddie was one of my favorite secondary characters and any use of his would be welcome, I’d love a fic that utilizes Uncle Eddie being the one to raise them post-fire and how they feel about him as they grow, or even an OPOV fic of them from Uncle Eddie’s POV as he watched their fucked up relationship develop and as he comes to understand it.

I also really want to see someone else’s take on how their dynamic grows as they become these legendary criminals that everyone’s heard of. I’d like to see how they build themselves up into these dangerous, terrifying bank robbers that even culebra bigwigs know of. I want an exploration of how they built their legend from the ground up, how they took the Gecko name from something that the criminal community derided to something they respected. I’d love to see a fic that showcases the legends and stories that get passed around about them, or something that shows the truth behind the public perception of them. I’d be interested in an OPOV fic from the perspective of the FBI hunting the, or the intake officers or the psychiatrist that evaluates Seth when he’s caught and imprisoned—is the fact they’re incestuous in their files, does the law know or even consider it? I know some of this must take place while Seth is married, so I just want to caveat that I really adore Vanessa and I’d love to see her involved or featured in some way. If you don’t want to include her or don’t like her, that’s fine, but please be kind to her—just mention her she’s someone Seth cares about, or write around her, please.

S1-era stuff set when Richie is losing his mind due to having visions of Kisa and the demons she makes him see would be fantastic. I’d love more exploration of that, with Richie trying to fight for his own sanity and control, especially if he uses Seth as an anchor to his sanity and humanity, and uses Seth to ground himself—physically, mentally, or emotionally. Maybe when Richie looks at Seth or grabs on to Seth, the visions go away. Maybe Richie feels closer to himself when Seth is kissing him or inside him or just holding him down or holding them close as they sleep. I’d love a missing moment or missing scene from that time, focusing on either Richie’s POV with emphasis on hos Seth makes him feel safe, or an exploration of Seth’s POV with him taking on this new role of caring for his terrified brother and scared of what’s happening to Richie and feeling in over his head and out of his depth and unsure of how to help—so he clings to his own fairytale he spins for himself and Richie called El Rey.

God, anything set post-s1 and during their separation would be amazing and very welcome. But for some starters, I’d love Seth having nightmares about Richie or hallucinating him while high on heroin or in withdrawal—I love the angst of Seth seeing Richie and unable to get him out of his head no matter how hard he’s trying to snuff him out with drugs and alcohol. I’d love an exploration of Seth’s instinct towards self-destruction in the face of separation from his brother—I’d be okay with suicide ideation here, I almost encourage it and would love the thought that stops Seth is that Richie isn’t dead, so there’s still a foolish sort of hope that keeps him clinging to life. Or I’d love some kind of body horror dream sex with culebra!Richie, emphasis on how Seth’s brother is a monster now and how a part of him doesn’t care and is actually into it. Seth must have kept scratching at his bite wounds and putting his fingers there for them not to have healed in three months. I’d love perhaps a messy fic where Seth masturbates while sticking his fingers in the puncture wounds, or something that explores the thought that heroin is a replacement for the venom that Richie never gave him, that Richie never turned him or chose him.

Or something exploring Richie’s POV would be all kinds of amazing, since s2 was kind of lax on that. I’d love the emphasis to be put on how he thought Seth didn’t want to be with him anymore—the “we’re done” scene comes to mind, especially Richie’s face afterwards—and how that was re-emphasized throughout the latter half of s1, so Richie breaks it off with him because he thought Seth may be better off without him, that Seth wanted to be “set free,” even though Seth’s last minute turn around suggests that wasn’t the case—but it happened too late. I’d love anything exploring Richie trying to move on from Seth by throwing himself furiously into his own ambitions, becoming kind of cold and driven, but grieving him as well. Or something that explores his long-simmering anger and building resentment at Seth having failed him and not believed him, and how that was never fully resolved.

I love Kisa so much, she is my absolute favorite, so feel free to include her in this, especially when it comes to her being the catalyst that caused the separation between Seth and Richie, but not the actual reason they broke up—or how Richie is trying to use her as a new partner to help him move on and both of them acting in roles they don’t really want or fully feel, but it’s what they have for the moment. If you want to explore how Kisa is like Seth but not like him at all, and how Richie reacts to that, I’d really enjoy that—but if you don’t want to include her in the fic, that’s okay, too; just no character bashing or demonizing her for “breaking up the boys” as I see them at fault for their own issues, Kisa was just the catalyst.

Anything exploring the fact that Seth was the first person who Richie fed on in reality would be lovely. Based on the in-show mythology, culebras feed on the soul and consume parts of the person they feed from, which means Richie fed on Seth’s soul—go wild with that. I’d love something that explores the intimacy of Richie carrying around a piece of his brother’s soul or Seth’s soul becoming part of his DNA literally, or an even more intense expansion on the concept—maybe they end up with a messy mental connection because of that, even when separated from each other? Maybe they’re bound through their souls now. But really I just love fucked up angst and intimacy stemming from that act.

Fic set during s2 would be great as it’s honestly my favorite season in terms of their relationship—them pining for each other while acting like they don’t care at all and they’ve moved on is one of my favorite aspects of the evolution of their dynamic. Anything involving missing scenes from the season focusing on their inability to communicate ending up with them having rough, angry sex—exploring how they feel drawn to each other bodily and sexually, but refusing to acknowledge it intellectually or emotionally. I’d love something that showcases how they still fit together perfectly, work together seamlessly, but there’s still that emotional wall between them that they have to overcome. Anything that shows their anger melting for melancholy tenderness that aches from longing and hurt would be sweet.

I’d also love to read someone’s take on how they come back together in the aftermath of s2 as well—how do they adjust to life as bank robbers turned collectors with a home base and crew? Or what happened to Jackknife Jed’s? Did they run the truck stop for a while before they became collectors? How do all these changes affect them and their relationship? How does forced closeness make them confront all that’s between them? How do they change with each other and learn from each other again? I’d love to read Seth adjusting to Richie being a culebra now and honestly becoming fascinated with Richie’s culebra face, scaled body, or his mind control powers. I’d love for this to be explored within the confines of a sexual space (i.e. Seth wants Richie to use his mind control powers on him in a D/s consent play space), but if you just want to write Seth touching Richie all over and exploring his new face and new body in a show of intimacy and physicality, I’d love that.

I love them in s3 and how they’ve come back together, but everything is so fraught and tense because their comfortable life they thought they had is shattered and now they run the risk of losing each other again causes them to become even more intense and clingy with each other. Remember how Seth thought Richie was dead in 3x09? Remember that walkie-talkie conversation? I’d love anything with Seth choosing to run towards Richie instead of the church or anything that explores their PSTD post-s3 at having nearly lost each other forever—Richie’s time in Xibalba or how Seth almost committed suicide via Amaru to be with him. But most of all, I love the introduction of shadow selves and shadow!Richie especially. His obsession with Seth and how he was going to drag Seth into Xibalba with him, to his manhandling and control of Seth, to his tying Seth up and openly leering at him, pressing his body close to Seth’s—all of that hit my buttons. I’d love maybe an AU where Shadow!Richie comes back from hell instead of real!Richie post-s3, or Shadow!Richie sticking around longer even after 3x06, or even just Richie’s headspace after living with an extreme ID-y version of himself in control of his body, or Seth’s attraction to a more openly violent and dangerous version of his brother that was willing to do dirtybadwrong things to him.

This is a vague prompt, but I’d love something that explores the legend of the Geckos, maybe playing on the hero twin mytharc, but with more of Geckos becoming legendary in their own right, even among culebras. I’ve been watching American Gods lately so I don’t exactly want a fusion, but I’d love the idea of Geckos becoming immortal legends from the stories people tell about them? Or something about their bloodline being special (callback to Carlos’ ‘you got a little bit of Lucifer in you’ line). Or something just a bit fairytale and mythic about them—perhaps something focusing on their connection; there’s a scene in S2 where Richie gets his powers, then cuts to Seth suddenly being able to see all the culebras in the bar and their true faces, if you need inspiration. Anything with them sharing powers from the “gods” in terms of being able to see and to take action as the show described would make for a really excellent fic.

In general, anything hurt/comfort-y or Geckos protecting one another during a job, or exploring Richie setting the fire and killing their dad for Seth and Seth’s flame tattoo, especially his choice to extend it to his throat, over Richie’s bite marks—or how they keep choosing one another, over and over again, can’t live without each other; all of that is good, I’d love anything with that.



Freddie is one of the best creations this show has put forth—I’m always sad that he gets the short end of the stick in terms of story whenever his arcs start out so promising at the beginning of each season. I love his similarities and differences with Seth, and his weird camaraderie he built with Richie. I love the cat and mouse dynamic they had in S1, to the last minute surprise team up in s2.

In s3, his dynamics with both Seth and Richie are so evolved and interesting, I just wanted more of them together. I was so into them working together. I’d love anything from that time period, from awkward flirting or the Geckos getting possessive of Freddie’s time (remember in the s3 premiere they got put out when Venganza took “their” peacekeeper?), or Freddie warming up to them, despite his misgivings and their history with each other.

I don’t want to ask for just porn, but I do really want Freddie accidentally (or on purpose) falling into bed with the Seth and Richie. I imagine after two years of working together (I know the time skip is ~six months~, but Freddie’s kid looks like an actual toddler now, when she was an infant in s2), they’ve developed a rapport and intimacy, maybe have gotten drunk together and ended up in the sack. I’d love to see the Geckos and Freddie doing business together—the Geckos helping with the peacekeeping, Freddie helping with the collections, and they have post-work stress related sex. Or Seth and Richie trying to comfort him over his wife leaving him and taking the Billy away from him (which must be so surreal to Freddie) and offering not exactly a pity fuck, but something to distract him—or Seth and Richie working together to seduce Freddie into bed, in a very calculated, discussed way.

I really loved the scene s2 where Freddie had Seth held at gunpoint and Richie comes up behind Freddie and puts a gun to his head and Seth and Richie exchange these flirty, heated looks, like two cats that caught a canary they want to toy with for a little while—an extension of that would be great.

I’d also love anything with Freddie working out his anger and frustration on each Seth and Richie—they did fuck up his life in a way, with killing Earl, his father figure, and dragging him into this world he’s now intrinsically a part of and can’t escape, so I’d love something with Freddie stuck in this position of having to work with them but hating them for that too, and Seth or Richie letting Freddie beat them up in a moment of rage? Anything like that

I’d also love something either in an AU, set during the time skip or during season three where Seth, Richie, and Freddie just end up having some “this could be the last night we’re alive’ sex together. I’d just prefer it not be cheating on Ximena, so taking place either before Freddie/Ximena becomes a thing, after her death, or some kind of open relationship there that’s acknowledged is important to me.

I’d also just love something exploring them as a poly relationship because I struggle with envisioning it and I’d love to see it brought to life—maybe even something set post-s3 where some kind of romantic relationship develops, or a partnership with some “partners with benefits” vibes that evolves would be cool.



Carlos is another character I adore—he’s so wicked and made of sharp edges, both sympathetic and despicable at equal turns, dramatic and stylish and wonderfully engaging. I love everything about Carlos, from his interplay between self-loathing and self-importance, to his obsession with and devotion to Kisa, to his righteous anger and his knack for destroying his own happiness. He’s so unique and complex and I can’t get enough of him and his outrageous and vaguely motivational ways. His dynamic with Scott is one of my favorite relationships on the show and I really love anything that focuses on the two of them together.

In terms of direction, I’d really love an AU where Carlos rescues Scott in s2 or even at the end of s1 and they run off together somehow. I imagine Carlos would be hiding from Malvado and everyone else he pissed off, and Scott’s along for the ride because he has nowhere else to go—the pair of them cast-offs on a roadtrip to nowhere, with Carlos mentoring his new baby culebra and plotting in his mind.

I’d also love fic when they’re both trapped in the labyrinth together and they have to work together to escape—I would be really interested in the kind of bond they develop then, given how the labyrinth is built from the minds of the people inside it and how they’d both be exposed to each other’s worst nightmares and fears and memories, and the creeping sort of intimacy that would be born from it. I love it when people who don’t really like each other work together and I’d love to see that here, with added hurt/comfort.

I’ve always thought Carlos saw a of himself in Scott and that’s why Carlos “picked” Scott, from the time they met in 1x05 to the point he chose to bite and turn him; I’d love seeing that explored more--why he did that, what did he see when he touched Scott and made that joke about not wanting to be on his lacrosse team, what does he expect or want from him? Especially taking into account Scott is his second protégé after Narciso betrayed him. I’m so fascinated by all the repeating history motifs with Scott and Carlos, with Scott being his “second” baby culebra (that eventually betrays him as well), but also Carlos freeing Scott the way he freed Kisa. I'd just love his POV on Scott and how he feels about him, this boy that has so much promise that he wants to shape and twist and see his reflection in.

A mid-s2 fic where Carlos has to contend with Kate for Scott’s attention and loyalty and love would be amazing. Just. Anything set after Kate joins Carlos and Scott, and that explores Carlos being jealous about how much Scott cares about her, maybe becoming more possessive towards Scott or being even creepier with him? I’m okay with underage sex here because I just feel Carlos is the type that would take advantage of this kid, he already has in other ways, and I’m interested in creepy dubcon situations here. Like culebra mentoring lessons, Carlos getting too close to Scott and Scott not shoving him off, but still feeling uncomfortable and there being tension-laced within the dynamic and a sense of how wrong and fucked up it is.

But a post-s3 fic where Carlos tags along with Scott after Kate rejects Scott would also be fantastic and much appreciated. I’d love the thought of Carlos being in the reverse position now, with Scott more grown up and independent and no longer needing him, but Carlos wanting some affection or attention from Scott—a situation where Carlos needs Scott, instead of the other way around. Maybe trying to make amends while Scott ignores and rejects him, but lets him stay with him because ~vampire dads are family too~. Honestly, there’s so much here, anything would make me happy.



Finally, I added Scott/Tommy as a long, long shot request because I am really interested in that whole dynamic and just want more of the Fanglorious arc. Did Scott turn Tommy? I have a headcanon that Scott turned all his band members and “saved them,” which is why they were upset when he abandoned them for Kate. I would just love more exploration of that dynamic, the history there that the show didn’t show, why Tommy was so devoted and almost worshipful of Scott, and seeing his feelings for Kate like a betrayal. I’d really love to see anything that explores that intense lovers but also Scott is Tommy’s maker and savior dynamic, and how he felt threatened by Kate’s return.




On My Block (TV)
↳ Ships: Cesar Diaz/Jamal Turner, Oscar "Spooky" Diaz/Mario Martinez, Ruben "Ruby" Martinez/Jamal Turner

I love this little Netflix dramedy with all my heart. This show is full of such warmth and written with such care and purpose, but is also kind of wild and ridiculous and over the top. I just love the mesh of genres and how well they mix together without any tonal dissonance. I love all of these character so much.

Cesar and Jamal is such an odd but surprisingly amazing dynamic I never thought I would get. I really love how they’re polar opposites in a way—Cesar is more serious, his arc is always full of trauma and angst, while Jamal is… Jamal, dramatic and carefree and ridiculous. The combo between them has a lot of odd couple energy that I love, so anything that plays with that would be wonderful. I am also interested in the idea of them fooling around during the time that Cesar lived with Jamal and was broken up with Monse. I love that whole time period.

I like that they shared a bed and that Jamal seemed to have a crush on him and thought he was pretty. I like how close they were during that time, how much Jamal ADOPTS him and calls him his brother. I like how they have this whole familial but weird incestuous dynamic (that's really between the whole group) and Jamal/Cesar was a great S2 surprise. I would also just adore Jamal PINING for Cesar, throughout the series, during the time Cesar was living with him, slowly realizing he has more than friendly feelings for him. He is constantly calling him pretty and constantly trying to be close to him, and I would love more of his head space there—yes please.

Despite they’re kind of goofy, push-pull dynamic, I really enjoyed how Jamal can be serious and comforting, when his loved ones are hurting, so if you want to go the hurt/comfort route, I would love something happening between them during the time that Cesar cried on his shoulder and them hugging in bed. Any kind of hurt/comfort for them would be lovely, honestly.



I love Oscar so much! I love how complex he is, that he’s not just a thuggish gangster, but that the show goes through great pains to try and humanize him, and make his actions make sense and have weight. I love how he parallels Cesar to the point his best friend is Ruby’s older brother, Mario. Mario is kind of ridiculous and silly, and his background kind of allows for that. I love the contrast that both of them have very different lives, but still seem to have a huge amount of respect for one another.

I would love ANYTHING to do with their backstory. I want to know all about their friendship and possible romance. I like the idea of them being into each other, but their lives and community are not the best place to allow that to flourish, so it’s kind of a secret? I just would like to know how they drifted apart, but still seem to be in good standing, and Mario seems to admire him still and Oscar still protects Ruby because of his feelings for Mario. I like them as a mirror to Cesar/Ruby, but in a way that kind of failed because they didn’t think they could fight against the futures that were planned out and they just followed the paths in front of them. I would love anything about them growing up together, fooling around, falling for each other then falling apart when their lives go in different directions, please.

I’d also like reconnecting fic for them—maybe when Mario is back because of the pregnancy arc, or maybe an AU where he drops out for other reasons, or took a gap year after college, not knowing where to go next. I like the idea of them more grown up and they’re on equal footing, in a way, and them giving it a go again. I would love a ~second chance at love~ type of thing, for them.



Ruby and Jamal are everything, individually and together. They’re both their own form of outrageous and dramatic, and I love them to piece. I would REALLY love something focused on a slow burn romance for them, friends-to-lovers style. In some ways, I would like all the same things I want as with Cesar/Jamal, but more intense. I would love a whole love story and them realizing they're in love, long after they should have. Any kind of snapshot of their lives and friendship growing into something more mutually, on both sides, would be wonderful. I would really like to see how they navigate that and how they function as a couple versus best friends. I’d love exploring the ups and downs of that.

While this is absolutely not necessary, but I like to headcanon Jamal is gay and I would love an exploration that, as he falls for Ruby. I'd also love for Ruby to slowly realize he's not straight and fall in love with Jamal without entirely realizing it. I'd LOVE for them to me a mirror and foil for Cesar/Monse as well, with Jamal having a crush and pining for a while, or Ruby having FEELINGS, but doesn’t understand them, so he overcompensates with his attraction towards girls.

And finally, I would like emotional h/c with Ruby's PSTD. Just Jamal being there for him and helping, trying to keep his panic attacks in check and pull him out of his depression. I would love anything that explores the fact Jamal wasn’t there, so he doesn’t share in the same experience, and how that can make him safe or a place of resentment, and from Jamal’s end, make him feel guilty and want to be there for Ruby.




Teeth - Hannah Moskowitz
↳ Ships: Rudy Clearwater/Teeth Delaney

This book is so heart-wrenchingly perfect in all its visceral pain and violence, as well as its intense love story at its heart. This book stayed with me long after I finished it like a pang in my chest—I don’t think I’ll ever be over it. It takes the concept of the mermaid and flips it on its head, rendering something wholly unique and tragic.

I really do want some kind of fix-it fic—not because I hate the ending, because I don’t, but rather I just want to much more from the dynamic between Rudy and Teeth. I'd love something in the future where Rudy is still on the island and his brother has gotten better, but Rudy can't move on and leave because he's still waiting for Teeth. I’d love for eventually Teeth to return, something that explores the changes in their dynamic and in themselves just from growing up, and Teeth having to leave the isolation of the island and explore elsewhere. Did Teeth see the world? I'd just love something that resolves and plays into the connection between them, which gives them a second chance at being able to be with each other. I'd love Rudy being careful and kind, and this to be a future where the island doesn't rely on the fish anymore so that Teeth can feel at peace knowing his family isn’t being hunted anymore.

Or you could break my heart and have Rudy’s brother die and all the fish being hunted to extinction and Teeth comes back to an older, more broken Rudy alone on an empty island and how Teeth responds and reacts to that—and how Rudy doesn’t want him to leave, but it’s physically and emotionally difficult for Teeth to be there.

On the flipside, I'd love an AU where Teeth gets to stay—imagine that the climax doesn’t happen—and he and Rudy grow closer and have a lot of exploratory experiences. Like how does sex work when your boyfriend is part-fish? I'd love something that explores that and Rudy being fascinated, and honestly attracted to Teeth's otherness. I love that Teeth isn’t actually attractive and looks quite monstrous, but Rudy still finds something beautiful in him. I'd also love something that explores Rudy being careful and tender and giving affection that Teeth very much craves. Hurt/comfort would be a super plus here. But I’d also love the conflict and angst of how possessive Teeth feels because Rudy has his family and Teeth only has him—Teeth’s jealousy and resentment of Rudy’s brother is fascinating when it comes into contention with the fact that Rudy participates in eating his family because his brother is sick and how that complicates Teeth’s attraction and growing feelings for Rudy.

Ultimately, I'd also just love hurt/comfort in general based on the time after Teeth was caught by the fishermen and Rudy trying to patch him up and take care of him. But if you just want to write me something melancholy in the form of a fairytale or heavy introspection from either Teeth or Rudy’s POV about their doomed romance, I'd still love that—the book holds a place in my heart because it was unafraid to be dark and frightening and ugly.




The Umbrella Academy (TV)
↳ Ships: Ben Hargreeves/Klaus Hargreeves, Diego Hargreeves/Luther Hargreeves

What a wonderfully weird and dark show! I love all the Hargreeves kids so much, but Ben and Klaus might be my favorites. I love their co-dependent, symbiotic dynamic so much. I’d love any pre-series fic where Klaus and Ben were kids growing up—where they close before his death? Is that why they’re so attached that Kalus can still see him when he’s high or wearing shoes?

So anything set prior to Ben’s death! I would also love them as teenagers fooling around together. I love first times. Maybe Klaus wants to sexually experiment and all he has available are his brothers and sisters. Maybe he feels closest to Ben? Or Klaus offering Ben some kind of sexual comfort after a mission goes bad, trying to help him jerk off, or trying to make him feel better. I would love them developing a brothers with benefits type of situation and slowly falling for each other.I want to know how intense their thing was and if so much of Klaus’ issues stem from the fact Ben died. I want to know more about that, the time around Ben dying and how that affected Klaus.

I’d love post-death fic where Klaus now has this constant shadow and is constantly connected to Ben and how they are literally tethered together and how they deal with that. I am fascinated by the idea Ben haunting Klaus since he was a teenager, both of them forced to be together, and the pain of Ben having to watch Klaus self destruct. I love to see snapshots from their lives as Ben haunts Klaus, watching Klaus grow older, while he’s stuck in time, unable to change or move from Klaus’ side, or even help him. I love hurt/comfort, but I want to see Ben angry at Klaus for not listening to his advice, resentful he has to watch all these painful, awful moments and is powerless to stop them.

Anything terrible with Klaus ending up in a dangerous situation due to his recklessness and Ben can’t do anything about it, but watch would be amazing. I love the pain and the angst, so anything dark and fucked up would be interesting, like Ben having to watch every time Klaus overdoses. Or maybe Klaus purposefully doing dangerous, reckless things to piss Ben off.

I would like kinky ghost sex, but also voyeurism, like Klaus doing sexual things and getting into sexual situations deliberately so Ben can watch. Or Ben living vicariously through Klaus; making requests of Klaus, specific people he wants Klaus to be with, or things he wants Klaus to try. If you don’t see them to be together preseries, I’d be fascinated with them coming together post-death because of that constant connection.

Also Sexy attempts at making Ben corporal. I would love something set in the present day as well, with Ben and Klaus both exploring Klaus’s new powers together. Patty cake ghost games was fun! Maybe more touching games, or Klaus using his powers to let Ben touch him in far more inappropriate ways. Or Klaus expanding his powers—could he let Ben possess him?

TENTACLES. ALL THE TENTACLES. Klaus likes being choked and tied up, CAN THE TENTACLES DO THAT? Anything working in Ben’s powers and tentacles. Maybe combined with Klaus’ pain kink. I would be really into Ben choking him with his tentacles, or fucking him with them. Or maybe it's weird for Ben because it's not technically his tentacles but they do it anyway. I want all of this consensual but maybe not necessarily safe or sane. It’s Klaus, you know.



Diego and Luther are so angry with each other all the time, but there is a lot of love and admiration on both sides. I want to explore how they’re both so similar, but on opposite ends of the dealing with their trauma, Diego knowing he was abused, and Luther just now figuring out how fucked up their childhood was. I like how that causes them to chafe, fight, and bicker. You can really see how Diego is meant to be the backup leader to Luther and I feel like in his methods, Diego is closer to their father of the two—harsh and unyielding, but actually loves his family, very deeply. Luther was obedient and unable to make himself rebel. I like how much they admire one another, but also hate each other at the same time because of their similarities, but their stark differences. What I am saying here is, I mostly just kind of want some kind of angry, hate sex that leads to intense feelings.

I also would love hurt/comfort, maybe a variation on the day that wasn't? Where instead of Allison or Klaus comforting Luther after finding out Reginald sent him to the moon for nothing, it's Diego? I'd also love hurt/comfort things in other situations, like pre-series, when Luther or Diego got hurt on a mission and one has to take care of the other or work together to get out of a tricky situation, or save one another. Anything when one of them sees the other vulnerable and they, in turn, have to be vulnerable and soft back.

Smut-wise: I want kinky stuff with Luther’s size and strength, maybe some kind of size kink, with Diego all into it, wanting Luther to manhandle and overpower him, maybe starting a fight to make Luther react and pin him down. Maybe Diego is very interested in how Luther’s body has changed and wanting to explore it, figure it out, while Luther is very embarrassed. I very much like how Luther is arguably the “leader,” but also the most vulnerable one out of the group due to the fact he only just now realized how fucked up their father was and I would like diego realizing and empathizing with that, or maybe playing into that and there’s some kind of D/s that helps Luther cope. It’s Luther, he likes orders.




What We Do In The Shadows (TV)
↳ Ships: Nandor the Relentless/Guillermo

A note: I am a bit behind on this show at the moment, but don't worry about spoilers. I anticipate finishing this season by reveals and I'm already fairly spoiled for plot points, so don’t let that hinder you in any of your ideas.

Oh gosh. I love this kooky, hilarious ode to vampires and vampire media so much. I loved the original film and I adore this series, and have fallen for all these new characters, but especially Nandor and Guillermo. I love their Dracula/Reinfield-style dynamic, but how it’s played with Guillermo being so long suffering and dealing with Nador’s whims and eccentricities. I would love fic about how they met and about how they’ve been together for TEN YEARS!

(A WHOLE DECADE!)

Is this a ten years of pining situation? Does Guillermo start off serving Nandor because he wants to be turned, then develops feelings? Does Nandor develop feelings first, but hides them by acting like he doesn't care? I would love it if Nandor doesn’t want to turn him because he likes him all soft and human, so he keeps delaying it out of some fucked up possessiveness and excessive, secret pining, like how he pretends it's only been two years. I would love to see them in those ten years, dancing around their their feelings, while Guillermo delivers him victims, Nandor maybe keeping him safe from other vampires, it would be fun.

OF COURSE I WANT TURNING FIC, I NEED TURNING FIC. Maybe Guillermo gets injured and he has to do it to save him, or else he will die and he won’t have Guillermo anymore. Maybe he realizes his feelings because Guillermo is injured and he does it as a love confession. Or it’s an accident! Maybe Nador sometimes feeds on Guillermo as a kinky sex thing, and he drinks too much and he needs to fix it—quick. Any kind of vampire!Guillermo is what I waaaaant. How would that shake up their whole dynamic? How would Guillermo change or be the same as a vampire, now that he's gotten his heart’s desire?

By the same token, Guillermo has VAMPIRE HUNTER BLOOD and I love the drama that he may be a hereditary vampire hunter and how they deal with that, how Nandor copes with that, maybe Guillermo wanting to prove his loyalty. CAN HE EVEN BE TURNED? WHAT IF HE’S IMMUNE? God wild with this.

For smut: I would love kinky D/s stuff and vampire-y porn where Nandor bites him possessively, leaving marks, telling Guillermo what to do and being bossy, but also weirdly kinking on how human and warm and soft he is. Or them flipping the dynamics and Guillermo being in charge for once, topping the hell out of Nandor. Maybe coffin sex? Maybe some OPOV with the rest of the housemates reacting to loud sex noises. I would also love some kind of secret vulnerability leading to intense body worship.
