Dearest Author, 

Thank you so much for my gift in advance! Please know that I will absolutely adore anything that you gift me and though I am going to provide more likes/dislikes and some general prompts further down, please feel free to combine prompts, or ignore them completely if you get inspired in a different direction! I’m Nemainofthewater on AO3 and most other fandom spaces. 

Please go wild – I will literally adore anything that you make me. I am also open for treats if anyone feels so inclined! If you want to do something experimental (a series of drabbles, interactive fiction, art, etc…) I will be delighted to see it! 

Things I like: 

-Found family! I really love team-as-family, slice of life type stories where everything may be difficult (or not!) but at least they have each other

-I love angst. Please put my blorbos through The Horrors ™  . I would prefer to have a glimmer of hope at the end, but honestly, I am also very happy for all knives all the time so long as appropriately tagged 

-Adventures: I love case fics or adventures where the characters work together to solve a problem. It doesn’t have to be anything important! Problem solving is wonderful at all levels, whether it’s something large like overtaking an empire or small like hunting for the perfect cake. Bonus for characters displaying unexpected knowledge/skills, or just being good at their jobs and their team appreciating that

-some canon divergence AUs or role reversal (although on the whole I am not a fan of college/high school AUs). I really like time travel and time loops as well as ‘for want of a nail’ type stories. Modern day AUs are a little hit or miss for me; sometimes I love them and sometimes it really takes me out of the story? I am fond of the type of modern day AUs that preserve the fantastical elements (ie, cultivation in the modern world type thing!)

-characters who don’t take care of themselves being gently bullied into sleeping/eating/resting, or just generally just looking after themselves. I am a huge fan of the ‘perfect mask much work until I collapse’ type character, especially when there are others around to take care oof them before/when they eventually collapse. 

-food or creating things as a love language (platonic or romantic)

-OT3s to solve love triangles 

-people appreciating other people’s competencies! 

-multimedia! (meta, articles, etc). Outsider POV is also something that I love and if you feel intrigued by adding that and/or any multimedia bits please indulge yourself! 

-identity porn

-wingfic, especially wingfic that looks at the practical things associated with wings/the (pseudo)biology/the social implications… 

-survival stories? I don’t know how to characterise this. Kind of the ‘trapped on a desert island’ kind of thing where everyone has to work together and bring out their various specialities and intelligence to build a home. The kind of domestic slice of life type thing only with having to literally establish their own settlement type thing

DNWs: high school/college AUs, texting fics, characters watching the show/read the book they’re from, PWP, sibling (biological or otherwise) incest, underage, character bashing (out of universe: it doesn’t count if characters don’t like each other in canon, for example), racism, sexism, homophobia, aphobia, transphobia

I have added some prompts for the fandoms, but the length or breadth of prompts has no bearing on how much I want a fandom – it’s very much what’s in my mind at the time of writing.

Above all, please create whatever pleases you and whatever you have fun making; I promise that I will love whatever I get! 

I am very happy to have any other characters that you want to add into the story unless I’ve written out a fandom specific DNW about it.
