GENERAL EXCHANGE LETTER

[hearthouses]

Hello, there! This is my general exchange letter that can be used in place of an exchange-specific letter. It goes into detail about my likes and dislikes for fic and art to provide a general catch-all of information. I try to keep it as updated as possible to reflect any changes in my interests. Please feel free to use this in combination with any freeform tags I've selected if the exchange is a freeform tag exchange, or as a jumping off point if I haven’t provided specific prompts.

Just some general housekeeping:

I'm open to treats. Thank you if you want to treat me!

You can find me at: hearthouses, hearthouses, and pinkhearthouses, but If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them via the mods!

I like works of all ratings—Gen to Explicit—so don’t worry if your fic isn’t smutty enough, or is too smutty, I enjoy the full spectrum.

I have no preferences in terms of POV, but I’m not a huge fan of first person POV. On the flipside, I really love a well-written second person POV, so feel free to experiment!

On that note, I enjoy all kinds of unconventional works, such as: in-universe documentation (true crime, news articles, podcasts, etc.), journal/diary entries, letters. Feel free to play around with form!

Lastly, as always, have fun creating!

GENERAL LIKES

♡ Backstory, future fic, unreliable narrators, outsider POV, snapshots, missing scene fics, character studies, small but meaningful moments, 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” or 5+1 type stories. Fics that start in medias res, stories told backwards, or in alternating POVs, fics with unusual format, fics that utilize other forms of media to enhance the storytelling, such as: journal entries, newspaper articles, excerpts from books characters wrote, characters on reddit or twitter, characters running a podcast.

♡ Happy endings, bittersweet endings, downer endings, endings that will wreck me and endings that will put me back together again.

♡ Road trips, small towns, traveling, a sense of place, in between moments and in transit, a strong sense of a setting, the aesthetics of being on the road, having to stay in crappy motels and living in and out of suitcases. Taking a journey across the country and finding yourself, or going on a road trip and falling in love. Escaping the oppressive small town and running away in a car. Americana aesthetics.

♡ Coming of age stories. Teenage antics, close-knit friends groups. Truth or dare, spin-the-bottle, going to the movies, going to homecoming, or prom. Figuring out who they are, who they want to be. First loves, first heartaches.

♡ Stories about characters doing sex work: camboys/camgirls, porn stars, nude modeling, high-end escorts, survival sex work and underage prostitution. Focus either on the mundane, day-to-life aspects, the funny and lighthearted moments, or the risks, the dangers, the gritty, uncomfortable aspects. Sex workers who love what they do, sex workers who don’t give up their work, happy sex workers.

♡ Established relationships, and domesticity with slice-of-life that details their routine or daily life, communicating without words, 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. Watching movies together, reading to each other, spending time together. Well-worn in loving banter, heavy flirting, and inside jokes.

♡ Pets! Adopting a pet, or acquiring a stray, or a wounded or abandoned animal. Pets as a recovery tool, pets getting under the skin of the most closed off characters.

♡ Stories about unplanned pregnancies, or stories of adoption and fostering, about the difficulties of parenting, how it changes relationships, complicates and strengthens them. Abuse survivors navigating becoming a parent. Good fathers, fathers with a strong attachment to their children. Holding newborn babies. Kid characters who are realistically kid-like and not an accessory to denote a happy ending. I also love mpreg and omegaverse related pregnancies! My preference for mpreg is for the character to have a dual genitalia situation or a vagina (even temporarily).

♡ Slow burns, UST, people reconnecting again, breaking up and getting back together, learning to love each other again, pining for each other, second chance at love.

♡ Reunions, childhood friends finding each other again, a strong sense of history between characters, found families. Polyamory, unusual relationship configurations, open relationships.

♡ Queer/LGBTQ+ themes. Set in historical periods. Exploring sexuality, gender or gender expression. A sense of community.

♡ Complicated relationships and internal conflicts—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).

♡ Battle medical care, self medical care, having to dig a bullet out of someone and stitch them back together, learning medical care along the way for quick patching up, setting someone’s bone or pushing back in a dislocated shoulder. The intimacy of bandaging and fixing someone up.

♡ Exploring physical disabilities (losing sight/hearing/the ability to speak/mobility issues), career-ending injuries, near-death experiences leading to slow, painful recovery periods, narratives that explore survival but learning to live with the new changes and limitations of their body.

Dark seductions, characters coming to terms with a darker side to themselves, finding commonalities and camaraderie with the wrong person. Stories of conflicted loyalties, abuse of loyalties, loyalty leading people into really bad decisionmaking.

SMUT & KINK LIKES

☆ 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.

☆ Any sort of overwhelming “I never thought I’d have this and now that I do, I don’t even know where to start” feelings.

☆ Masturbation and fantasizing about the other character before getting together, mutual masturbation, one character watching the other maturbate, either accidentally or deliberately. Instruction on masturbation.

☆ Inexperience, awkwardness due to lack of knowing what to do, fumbling and messy, imperfect sex. Characters discovering kinks for the first time. I love anything that focuses on sexuality exploration and experimentation, and first times. Budding feelings, insecurities, gay teens feeling different and cut off from their peers, haywire hormones, accidental stimulation leading to arousal.

☆ Any 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.

☆ Hurt/Comfort sex, grief processing sex, any sort of sex that tries to dull the ache of something psychologically traumatizing.

☆ Messy, badly-negotiated (or unnegotiated) sexual desires. Characters signalling to their partner that they’re in a kinky mood vaguely or through actions (acting out for attention, behaving in a certain way, etc.). Boundary pushing, unaware of limits until limit is hit and still pressing forward, under-negotiated consent. Lack of communication, characters accidentally hurting each other or themselves.

☆ Powerplay and D/s, service kink and getting off on giving pleasure rather than receiving. I prefer more casual setups without much negotiation or discussion where one character gets off on being pushed around, getting told what to do, or do service-y things for the other, and the partner gets off on doing the pushing around and they all lean into that.

☆ As much as I love powerplay, I love it more when it includes switching or no set sexual “roles,” i.e. topping from the bottom, doms who like to be penetrated, dominance struggles, bossy subs, antagonism to push their partner around. Anything that explores a struggle for control.

☆ Roleplay and exploring fantasies.

☆ Dirty talk! Anything from the sweet and intense to extremely explicit and filthy. Getting a partner to talk about what they’re into during sex even if they’re embarrassed about it. Making a partner beg and voice what they want. Talking during sex to make the partner flustered, talking to orgasm, using pet names. Poking at hot buttons that tread the line of humiliation, talking about areas of shame in sexual desires.

☆ Praise kink! I love it when a character is lovingly taken apart by telling them how good they are or were. On the flipside, condescending praise from aggressors.

☆ Vocal sex, loud sex, unable to keep quiet. Partner kinking on moans, whimpering, mewling, whining. Vocal displays of losing control.

☆ Any sort of bondage—ropes, scarves, handcuffs, belts. I love characters being physically restrained so they can't move no matter how much they struggle, but also bondage that is about the character having to behave and stay still, without the use of restraints or flimsy restraints. Being held down and pinned at the wrists.

☆ Sex toys, used either solo or in partnered sex. Any sort of dildos, plugs, vibrators. Sex toys worn clothes and in public, remote controlled vibrators where one character has the remote.

☆ Rough sex and manhandling! I love when characters get pinned against a wall, pushed around, bent over, or used roughly just to get off. Hair pulling, yanking a character’s head back by the hair. Physical contact as foreplay, even and especially when the characters wouldn’t admit they’re into each other. Roughhousing as an excuse to touch each other, playful wrestling that leads to more.

☆ Angry sex, fighting-that-leads-to-sex, heat-of-the-battle sex.. Ill-advised sex in lieu of working out issues between characters, taking out issues on partner during sex, frantic, make up sex.

☆ Mild objectification, whether it’s fully consensual or under-negotiated boundary-pushing leading to objectifying dirty talk about ‘using’ a partner for sex. Maybe actually following through with it. Casual groping, ass-slapping, rubbing up against a partner when they aren’t expecting it, grabbing them in public and feeling them up.

☆ All body worship and teasing. Kissing all over the body, exploring all parts of a partner, finding erogenous zones, kissing in unusual places. Edging, orgasm control, sensory overload, overwhelming sex. Overstimulation, being touched immediately after orgasm. Begging to come, multiple orgasms, crying during sex, kissing away or licking up the tears.

☆ Any sort of grooming or bathing as foreplay that leads to sex, or sex in the bath and/or shower. Joining partner in the shower to distract them from morning routine with sex. Cleaning up after sex, taking care of partner and being careful around bruises and marks.

☆ Voyeurism, either accidental or intentional. Inviting someone to watch, or fucking for the entertainment of a third party. Phone sex, sexting, dirty long-distance communication. Sending nudes and explicit videos. Masturbating as a show for a partner, partner giving instructions. Long-distance intimacy. Creating porn as a gift for a partner.

☆ Public sex or semi-public sex. Touching a partner under a table, giving oral sex in a movie theater or sex in a public bathroom. Sex outdoors, in parks, in a graveyard. Any form of car sex, inside or on top of a car. Road head. Sex in other places than a bed: on tables, against walls, on the floor, on a chair, in the shower.

☆ Characters who kink on violence and danger. Arousal from killing or watching someone get hurt. Attracted to dangerous people, i.e. serial killers or monsters. Knowing their partner could kill them or hurt them and getting off on it. Being the leash holder of a monster. Fearplay and desire to be “hunted” and taken. Extreme kinks like gunplay, knifeplay, breathplay, etc. Put on display for others, exhibitionism.

☆ I love blood kink and bloodplay! Vampires biting and feeding, menstrual sex, or combined with knifeplay where cutting a partner and making them bleed is part of the sex act. I also like accidental bleeding, as in too rough penetrative sex or biting too hard and breaking skin, or getting aroused by nosebleeds and accidental cuts.

☆ Scar kink, scar worship. Kissing, licking, or sucking on scars. Scarification as ownership or a sign of devotion. Matching scars, important scars. Branding.

☆ Any displays of jealousy and possessiveness, including PDA and grabbing a partner in public. Leaving hickeys and bite marks in visible places. Scratches and other forms of marking.

☆ Feral or animalistic behavior, especially re: monsters or werewolves. Xenophilia, monster fucking, kinking on partner’s inhuman features, sex with partner while transformed, i.e. sex with werewolf partner’s wolf form. Sensation play with a partner's inhuman outer appearance, like getting off on a scaled body or feeling fur against skin.

☆ Scent kink, breathing in partner’s skin, liking partner’s sweat and body odor. Smelling areas where scent is particularly strong, like armpits or groin. Smelling their hair.

☆ Hand kink, palm and fingers kissing. Finger sucking. Obsessed with what a partner's hands can do.

☆ Oral fixation in general, kinking on smoking and shotgunning, getting turned on by partner licking a popsicle or lollipop.

☆ Any and all forms of oral sex. Deepthroating, choking, coming in partner’s mouth. Vaginal fingering during cunnilingus. Tongue-fucking. Ball licking, sucking. Getting hair pulled while giving oral, recipient pushing giver’s head down and holding it there. Character getting aroused while giving oral and getting off during, either by masturbating, or grinding/rubbing off on partner’s leg. Body worship when giving oral, kissing and nuzzling into a partner's thighs, sucking and biting the skin, leaving marks. Face-sitting, enthusiastically grinding on partner's face, lazy and slow 69-ing. Rimming, kissing after oral sex—totally cool with ass-to-mouth.

☆ Stuffing someone's mouth with fingers or objects. Gagging. Hands over mouth. Trying to stay quiet during sex (and maybe failing). Biting lips, biting down on partner’s shoulder. Kissing to keep noisy partner quiet.

☆ Coming untouched.

☆ Non-penetrative sex: dry-humping, frottage, coming in pants. Intercrural in exchange for penetration, fucking partner’s thighs when they’re bent over or pressed face-first into a wall, coming on thighs.Touching a partner over their clothes or under the table. I like lazy, slow, sleepy, familiar sex where all parties are happy and don’t need anything fancy to make it good. I also like non-penetrative sex framed in a way that’s about the characters being too desperate or too impatient to do anything else, or are young and too inexperienced that any sort of contact gets them off.

☆ Penetration: hole stretching, hole training. Fingering, coming from just fingering. Sloppy lubrication, messy penetrative sex, double-penetration in one hole or in vagina and ass, multiple penetration and spitroasting. Sloppy hole after gangbang.

☆ Come play. Facials. Coming on someone's body. Coming inside. Licking come out of partner or licking another person’s come out of partner. Sex after excercising or sex after getting physically filthy and not caring. Putting a butt plug inside of partner to keep come inside.

Intentionally drugging self in order to have a partner use their body to get off while they’re unconscious. Giving permission to use their body to get off when asleep.

☆ Drunk or high sex! I love the emotionally messy, dubcon-y, bad idea kind where one character is sober and unsure if they should do this when the intoxicated character comes onto them (especially if there’s pining involved) kind, or the mutually, sloppily affectionate consensual kind.

☆ Clothing kink! For example: a focus on suits, uniforms, gloves, boots, lingerie, etc. in a sexual context. Partially-clothed or mostly-clothed sex, naked/clothed, dressing and undressing, neat characters being disheveled for once; casual characters cleaning up nicely, clothes-sharing, choosing clothes for the other person as kink/foreplay. Crossdressing, either men in lingerie or women in suits. Getting off to smelling someone’s clothes or used underwear. Using clothes to tie someone up, or using underwear as a gag. Cutting clothes or ripping clothes off.

☆ Competence kink and intelligence kink, characters kinking on the skills set of another, i.e. Seth’s admiration/fixation on Richie cracking safes, characters admiring the strengths of the other.

☆ Adaptive sex due to injury or disability. Figuring out how to get a partner off in different ways, evolving sexual dynamics due to great upheavals and trauma. Rape recovery and working through contact and intimacy issues.

☆ Anything paired with tenderness, both for sweet sex and especially with rough, fucked up sex: hand-holding, forehead touching, forehead/face kisses, snuggling and cuddling, nuzzling, hugs from behind, neck kisses. Lots of kissing in general is lovely. Long, slow making out as foreplay. Nuzzling into someone’s palm or neck. I love the “we like each other so much that we can’t stop touching each other in any way” trope a lot.

☆ Making breakfast the morning after. Morning afters, in general. Aftercare. Sleep related things in general: comfort after a nightmare, falling asleep together, one character watching the other sleep. Characters that feel safe and cherished by others. Simple casual intimacy is fantastic and very much appreciated.

❀ Omegaverse Preferences: I prefer dual genitalia for male omegas and female alphas, female alphas that can impregnate male and female omegas and betas, but can also be impregnated. I DNW infertile female alphas, enlarged clits as substitution for dick, bitching. I would also prefer male omegas not be written as a substitution for cis females, i.e. given the same gender roles in society, expected to dress and act feminine, referred to with feminine nouns, like mother, wife, unless it works for the male omega’s gender identity. I love: accidental heats lead to , omegas gangbanged by multiple alphas to make baby, prolonged sessions of knotting, pregnancy heats, alphas building nests for their pregnant omega, alphas baby trapping/causing a heat to make a baby.

DO NOT WANTS

GENERAL
⬤ permanent death of any requested characters unless otherwise specified (dying and coming back to life is okay).

⬤ graphic detailed depictions of physical/sexual abuse (implications and allusions to abuse, h/c regarding abuse, or portraying the aftermath or effects is fine, especially including it as a backstory or even a fic exploring a character navigating an abusive situation, but nothing explicitly detailed—feel free to waive this for smutty dubcon/noncon prompts).

⬤ graphic depictions of child death (representations of canon child death is fine).

⬤ graphic animal cruelty or death, especially done to cats (caveat in the case of werewolf or vampire AUs where the monster hunts down woodland creatures as prey and eats them, that is fine).

⬤ mentally ill/neurotypical/disabled people treated as a burden, or better off dead i.e. suicide treated as reasonable option, characters killing themselves for the greater good (depictions of suicide ideation due to mental illness, or characters not wanting live because of trauma or grief is fine).

⬤ total mind break of characters.

⬤ completely hopeless endings.

⬤ unrequested feminization of male characters.

⬤ humiliation (sexual & verbal humiliation is fine, but I have a strong sense of second hand embarrassment, so please no one going out of their way to embarrass or humiliate a character in another way, especially in public).

⬤ heavy focus on unrequested non-canon pairings (background canon pairings are fine).

⬤ confirmed unrequited love (mutual pining, obliviousness, and miscommunication are encouraged).


PREGNANCY/KID FIC DNWs

⬤ Overly precocious kids, kids written like cute accessories, accessory to denote a happy ending.

⬤ Impregnator angry at the pregnant person for becoming pregnant.

⬤ Forced pregnancy of a trans masc identifying person to misgender or cause gender dysphoria, unrequested gender dysphoria surrounding pregnancy.

⬤ Rule 63/cisswapping for pregnancy, rule 63 to to make slash/femslash ships het.

⬤ Anal birth/ass babies, birth from testicles, or penis (I prefer the pregnant person to have a vagina or grow one near the end of their pregnancy; C-Sections are fine as a solution to a complicated delivery, but I would prefer the details to remain on the lighter end of graphic).

⬤ Oviposition/eggpreg, tentacles and tentacle pregnancy, non-sapient monster pregnancies.

⬤ Rapid pregnancy/unrealistic gestation period.

⬤ Death during childbirth.


SMUT
⬤ violent rape, and unaroused or non-orgasming characters.

⬤ extreme underage (12 and below).

⬤ misogynistic/whorephobic dirty talk (i.e. praise kink and humiliation-esque stuff like slut, cock slut, and cocksucker is okay, bitch and whore are not).

⬤ heavy or formalized D/s dynamics.

⬤ exhaustive discussions of consent.

⬤ rigid top/bottom roles (focusing on only one person topping or bottoming for the duration of the fic is fine, this issue for me comes in where characters are defined by being a “bottom” or a “top,” leaving no room for potential switching).

⬤ Kinks To Avoid: watersports, scat, vomit, bestiality (xenophilia in terms of sentient monsters, on the other hand, is encouraged), feeding kink, weight gain, forced feeding, forced dieting, food kink/sex with food involved, stomach bulges, cervix penetration, anal/vaginal prolapse.
