Welcome to my (rehashed) AUex letter! To be totally honest, I have no hard and fast wants for this exchange - everything looks so shiny that if you want to challenge yourself to see how many freeforms you can include in your fic, I say absolutely go for it! My wants are predictable, so you can browse previous letters for more inspiration if you need it, or just dive right in. Most of my ships have the following tags - there aren't many ship-specific ones, tbh.

All I ask is that you give me a Happy Ever After. More than one of my ships involves a character that was killed off at some point, and I am really not here for that. Bring them back to life or pretend they were never dead in the first place, but run roughshod over canon and yeet that storyline into the sun.

ALL: 1920s-Inspired Science Fiction AU; All: 1930s science fiction writers AU; ALL: Archaeologist/Adventurer AU

Yes, I would love this for any and all of my pairings. You want to throw in more than one of my requested ships, then go for it. Honestly, all my B-movie feels are here, mashed up with some late Victorian Jules Verne-esque sci-fi and The Future Is Here!

ALL: Being married to each other is a job requirement in their line of work; ALL: Suburban domesticity; ALL: Secret Relationship AU

This can be in canon or out, I honestly don’t mind. Mash it up with another AU or rewrite the canon ending to have happy ‘yay we survived’ sex. Any and all pairings apply here!

ALL: Steampunk; All: Victorian Era AU; ALL: Paleontologist/Adventurer AU

Yes, I have a brand and yes, if you give them goggles and steam powered airships, I will love you forever. Steampunk anything is my kryptonite, so if you want to tag this freeform onto any and all other combinations, please do.

ALL: Star Trek AU; ALL: IN SPACE!; ALL: Star Trek Alternate Original Series Fusion

Spaceships! Starships! Exploration and sci-fi and world building and technology and The Future (TM). I really don’t mind if you throw my ship into an existing space canon (TV, movie, book or recursive) or invent an entirely new one from scratch. I love sci-fi.

LL: Age of Sail AU; ALL: Pirate AU; All: Western AU; ALL: Beauty and the Beast AU

Swords and sorcery, fairy tales, monsters, myths and legends. Noble knights and pining squires, cowboys and log cabins, the high seas and pirates and treasure maps.  I warned you, I am a trope ho. Mash them all up together or pick one specific theme, the choice is yours. Just, please remember the happy ever after!

ALL: Pacific Rim AU

Give me all the sentient/mountain-sized/transforming robots, battling alien foe or being cute and helping humanity rebuild. Steampunk steam-powered sentient robots? Why yes, yes I do believe that would also be rather splendid.

ALL: Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies; ALL: Lighter and fluffier than canon

This applies for all of them. ALL OF THEM.

ALL: Fusion with Other Requested Fandom;  ALL: Grifter and Priest AU; ALL: Sherlock Holmes Fusion or AU

All other tags are ‘hey, this sounds interesting, I wonder what folks will come up with?’ I’m honestly open to pretty much anything as long as it gives my DNWs a wide berth and includes some of my favourite likes. Apart from that, feel free to write me your iddiest fic, shoe horning in all the tropes you love too. Have fun writing it, and you know it’s going to be good <3

DNW

A/b/o dynamics/mpreg/lactation

Noncon/incest/underage

BDSM, D/s or manipulative power dynamics, roleplaying

Excessive gore/violence; scat/watersports/snowballing

Character death or chronic illness (unless it’s canon and you’re going to fix it! I’m looking at you, MCU), unhappy or bittersweet endings

High school/teenager/de-aged AUs (I have teens in the house, ‘nuff said)

Fluff! I adore fluff, be it smutty fluff or angsty fluff, or a delightful combination of the two. Life is sucky right now, so we all need all the fluff.

Smut! Hot, consensual, as graphic or non- as you like, a generous dollop of sexy times is always appreciated. I’m also a big fan of cuddles and snuggles. Touch for the touch starved, affection for the lonely, emotional intimacy, all the kissing etc.

Whilst I don’t like a/b/o relationship dynamics, I’m quite happy to read about non-human genitalia. Alien or werewolf, merman or android, be as inventive as you like. Give me different standards of beauty and attractiveness. Orgasm delay is fun. Denial is not.

Friends-to-lovers, enemies-to-lovers, strangers-to-lovers - I adore relationship development arcs.

Mundane domesticity. Airships/Steampunk. Spaceships/sci-fi. Victorian era.

Older characters. There’s nothing quite like a silver fox, male or female. They know what they want, how to get it and how to give their partners what they want in return.

HEA/HFN. Honestly, you can get as angsty as you wish as long as everyone gets their Happy Ever After. We survived 2020, we deserve it.

Competence and loyalty and protectiveness and found family. I am a trope ho.

Whilst I'm not a big fan of BDSM in fandom, I very much enjoy inflicting a bit of orgasm delay (although not outright denial!) and multiple orgasms. Please give me inventive sexual positions, alien or robotic genitalia, enthusiastic 'we're not dead' sex, OT3s, telepathic connections, intense soul bond sex, love and lust at first sight, sentient machines, joyful consummation after epic pining (requited, of course), use of fingers but not fists, mouths everywhere except rimming, sweet-soft-tender “I’m going to take care of you" sex, and coming so hard they pass out. Singly, or in whatever inventive combination the muse demands of you.
