NSFW Do-Not-Wants:

Ageplay/Infantilism Kink
Extreme Underage (half the things I ship tend to have large age differences, so obviously I'm fine with that, but when it comes to sex, I would prefer nothing happening until the younger party is 15+)
BDSM Lifestyles (dom/sub undertones in smut scenes are fine, just not entire AUs)
Pet Play
Food Sex
Basically any really extreme kinks (ie. scat, amputation, vomit, vore, etc.). I'm totally fine with kinky sex if you want to write explicit sex, just nothing too dead dove.

Ratings:

I'm fine with any rating! So long as it doesn't include my DNWs, feel free to keep it PG or throw in some explicit scenes.

Requested Fandoms

Teen Wolf

Requested Relationships: Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski

Fandom-Specific Likes/Prompts

These are just some ideas if you need some inspo, feel free to go with one of them, or take bits and pieces from several, or you can disregard them and just use my general likes from above to come up with something.

Creature!Stiles / Alpha!Stiles / Magical!Stiles
Disability / Permanent Injury / Meeting Pre-Canon During Peter's Coma AUs
Post-S2 Canon Divergence AUs: Peter taking care of Stiles after his abduction/torture by Gerard
Post-S3B Canon Divergence AUs: Post-Nogitsune!Stiles with nogi powers or he's changed in some other way
S6 Phantom Train Station Canon Divergence AUs
Pack of Two!Steter and they both leave Beacon Hills
The two of them working as mercenaries/private detectives/cursebreakers/etc., basically the people you go to if you have a supernatural problem and don't mind it being solved in a very permanent and possibly bloody way
Stiles or Stiles and Peter time-travelling back from a bad ending future, either accidentally or on purpose

Fandom-Specific DNWs

I'm not a fan of Scott McCall, so preferably, I'd rather he not be in the fic much or at all. On the other hand, if you want to include him in a "Bad Alpha!Scott" or "Bad Friend!Scott" context, I'm okay with that too.

I'm also not that interested in the characters introduced in later seasons so if you're including a main cast larger than just Stiles and Peter, I would prefer if that cast is just people from the original-ish group (basically no one after Malia, maybe Liam whom I do know but find very boring). Of course, if you want to include some as minor characters or antagonists, that's totally fine.

Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e | Classroom of the Elite

Relationship(s): Ayanokouji Kiyotaka/Ryuuen Kakeru, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka/Horikita Manabu

Fandom-Specific Likes/Prompts

What happens when Kiyotaka starts out in C-Class with Ryuuen? Or the reverse with Ryuuen in D-Class instead? Or Kiyotaka and Manabu are in the same year. Or Kiyotaka as a senior when Ryuuen enters the school. Would love to see the kind of cautious allies to friends to lovers developments you can come up with.

Maybe one of the teachers or upper-years ups the difficulty of a class test, or the White Room interferes. Whatever the reason, it results in the need to face some threat, or they sustain a serious injury, and survival gets a lot more difficult than just getting a good grade. Basically dump them into some life-or-death situations.

Taking down the White Room - Just Kiyotaka dealing with his childhood torture chamber prison school, and of course Ryuuen or Manabu (or both) doesn't let him do it alone. Maybe his dad finally goes too far and tries to go after one of Kiyotaka's people, and Kiyo just snaps and decides that trying to be average wasn't working out for him after all.

Instead of refusing, Kiyotaka accepts when Manabu invites him to join the Student Council.

White Room takes over the school, survival aftermath.

Crossover Fandom (Fast & Furious x Harry Potter)

Relationship(s): Regulus Black/Owen Shaw

Fandom-Specific Likes/Prompts

My usual premise for these two is Regulus surviving the cave at 18 but is caught and thrown in Azkaban, and 14+ years later (Regulus would be about 33yo, and HP timeline would be around Harry's summer break after third year), Owen is also sent there after he wakes up from his coma sometime post-F&F6 (I headcanon him to be around 36yo). Owen happens to become Regulus' cellmate, and they get to know each other from there. If you want a more detailed look at my headcanons for this ship, the first chapter of my fic Indomitable has its foundation, and I think my other fics flesh them out pretty well too, so you can skim them if you feel like it.

But different first meetings are always interesting to play with, so maybe they meet later on in an AU post-F&F8 where Cipher won and kicked off WWIII, and the world's been reduced to a nuclear wasteland. Or maybe their worlds aren't fused, and Regulus takes a trip through the Veil, maybe because the Order fished him out of Azkaban to help with the war but was planning on putting him back in there afterwards, and Regulus decided that wasn't going to happen, but he'd also be a fugitive for the rest of his life if he stays in the same world, so instead, he takes a chance after doing some research and lands in the F&F world. Meanwhile, Owen's going about his business, and maybe he crosses paths with Regulus before the Cipher job, or during (I headcanon Owen only working for her because she blackmailed him with Deckard's safety cuz she got all pissy after Deckard turned her down), so how does Owen meeting someone with magic in their arsenal change things? Does he know about the magic enough to call Regulus for help? Or if not, how do they grow close enough for Regulus to keep tabs on Owen and know to go save him when he gets thrown out of a plane?

Outsider POV on these two would also be fun, maybe from Deckard's perspective, or Sirius', or someone else entirely. On the wizard side, the fact that the lord of the Ancient House of Black would take up with a muggle would be unbelievable to them. On the muggle side, the fact that a sociopath like Owen has the capacity to grow attached to anyone would be equally unbelievable. But if this is from Deckard's POV, I imagine he'd be close enough to Owen to have better insight on him and gradually Regulus as well, so his perspective would be markedly different from everyone else's. He's a protective older brother too, and with Owen actually liking someone enough to bring them home, plus Regulus saving Owen's life several times over, I imagine Deckard would extend that protectiveness to Regulus as well.

I'm always down for some PTSD-riddled!Regulus. I'd love to see some of the damage - mental or physical - he's suffered from Azkaban and even his childhood because growing up in the Black household couldn't have been a picnic, especially after Sirius left for Hogwarts and got cozy with James, no matter how perfect Regulus tried to be. And I'd love to see how Owen takes his madness in stride but also gradually becomes someone Regulus can trust and feel safe with for the first time in his life.

Again, I'm honestly fine with anything, plotty or otherwise. Even just some day to day domesticity would be lovely. To me, these two fit together because they each have the same balance of insanity and sociopathy but also a tendency towards obsession if something interests them enough, which not many things do. But it's rare for Owen to meet someone not only unafraid of him but also accepts his murderous tendencies without batting an eye, and in turn, Regulus has never had anyone in his corner the way Owen is after he decides he wants to keep Regulus.

Fandom-Specific DNWs

I tend to be more critical of Sirius and Toretto's crew and even Hattie when I write this crossover, and I doubt I'll ever write them any other way, but even if I do prefer it, it's not a hard no, so feel free to do what you will with them.

Any extreme prejudice against muggles/pureblood supremacy on Regulus' part. I imagine after 15 years, the fanatical pureblood supremacy he was raised to believe in would've long taken a backseat in his priorities, especially since these years came after he'd already decided to turn on Voldemort and the cause his parents and peers preached. I also think growing up as a Black and a Slytherin with no one to protect him, he couldn't really have been anything else than what he was expected to be, but he even had the capacity to consider house-elves his equal with no earth-shattering secret (halfblood horcrux-making Voldie) to give him a wakeup call, so while I do believe he very much considered himself above muggles and even halfbloods when growing up, I also believe it wouldn't have taken much to get over it. Which isn't to say he doesn't still look down on most people, but that has less to do with bigotry and more to do with not really liking people in general or not finding most of them at all interesting enough to be worth his time. So TLDR preferably none of the prejudice that his family tried to groom into him.

Bleach

Relationship(s): Kurosaki Ichigo/Shiba Kaien, Aizen Sousuke/Kurosaki Ichigo/Urahara Kisuke

Fandom-Specific Likes/Prompts

Kaien/Ichigo: Give me all the incest ;) For this ship, I like that they're similar in some ways and very different in others. You could place Ichigo in the TBTP era, or Kaien somehow survives (maybe Ichigo comes back from Hueco Mundo with him in tow after saving him from a cell in Aizen's labs), and then they just sort of start orbiting each other in an "opposites attract and we cover each other's weaknesses and fill in one another's spaces" way but also in a "you're familiar and feel like home" sort of way. They're both the type to get all single-minded and stubborn once they realize they want something, and I can see Kaien not really caring about the incest (/waves at Seireitei nobility) so long as Ichigo is his, he'd probably be the one actively going for it too. Ichigo might have a few hang-ups, but if this is a post-war loved ones died AU, time travel or otherwise, I can also see him not really giving that much of a shit in favour of grabbing on to the first person he considers his. Just all the low-key codependent attraction between these two that you wouldn't expect when you first meet them, what with Kaien being outgoing and sociable and openly charismatic, and Ichigo being more reserved and introverted and would never go out of his way to make himself more likeable. But both of them are fully willing to throw down for the things they want, and I imagine once they acknowledge the pull between them, they'd both be a bit obsessive about each other in their own way. If smut, you can also totally lean into the incest as something they'd find pretty hot (*＞ω＜*)♡

Kisuke/Ichigo/Aizen: I would prefer a V relationship between these three (Kisuke/Ichigo + Aizen/Ichigo) but I wouldn't mind a threesome either, although I imagine there'd be quite a bit of hate sex and one-upmanship between Kisuke/Aizen lol. Anyway, I really loved (Post-)Quincy War!Aizen, I just found that later version of him a lot more interesting with potential for something to develop between him and Ichigo, who's about the only one who can really rival and even surpass him in raw power. As for Kisuke, his whole "I engineered your whole life but also got too attached to throw you into war as the sacrificial pawn you were supposed to be on your own" schtick makes for a really interesting dynamic with Ichigo. Any exploration into that would be lovely. And anything on how these three come together and make it work would be good. I adore the idea of these two sociopathic lonely geniuses finding themselves orbiting Ichigo without even really being aware of it until it's too late to back out.

Fandom-Specific DNWs

Ships with Ichigo outside of the ones I listed. If matched for "Char: Kurosaki Ichigo" and you don't ship either of the two, no ship is also okay, but please don't ship him with anyone else. Any side/background ships that don't involve Ichigo are okay though.
