Things I love, in general:
Things I DNW, in general:
** "issuefic" has a variety of meanings. My meaning: a story where the fact that something could be an issue is the focus. For example, if I ask for slash A/B, and they are in the military, a story about how they can't be out as gay because military - that's issuefic. If chara C is ace, a story about how her mother thinks that ace is a made up thing, or that gays should burn in hell - that's issuefic. They can be gay and fix the spaceship! Or they can be ace and win the spelling bee! Just, I don't want the story to be about how *whatever* is problematic or hard or dangerous in the wider sociopolitical context. I have real life for that. I hope that makes sense, and if you have any questions, please feel free to have the mods ask me for clarification.
Other things, in general:
The above may or may not apply to any of my current requests, which I'll detail now in no particular order:

Request Fandom 1: Fruits Basket
Sohma Hatsuharu/Sohma Momiji
Honda Tohru/Sohma Momiji
Honda Tohru & Sohma Family
Request:
I love school hijinks, love accidental hugging, love how Tohru develops detailed and different relationships with so many of the Zodiac. Exploring any one or more of those during the original series would be great. I love the dynamics in Shigure the man-child's house, and how things get so crazy, so something fun along those lines would be great. Tohru, Haru, Momiji, and Kyo are my faves, but any of the Zodiac are welcome to play!
More Details:
To expand: I love Momiji. Love him being all cute and tragic at the same time. Love Tohru being cute and tragic at the same time. Really any zodiac fits that description. ;) Also, I just love Haru, plain and simple. Love everything about him, from his hair to his boots to the first time we meet him to his black side. And how he's all protective of Momiji at school? (There's that moment where he does the arm brace against the wall and looms over Tohru, and can you imagine him doing it to Momiji? Unf.
For the rest of the family and Tohru, I love the sisterly relationship Tohru has with Kisa, and the slightly different version with Kagura. Love the hints of so many complex relationships between the family, and how almost every one has a different but important relationship with Tohru. How Rin and Hiro view her as a rival at first, how Yuki and Kyo aren't sure what to make of her or each other for that matter. And the older Trio are such goofballs. Love Shigure as the most un-adult-like adult ever! He and Aya are wonderful insanity together, and poor Hatori getting stuck with them! Shippy or ambiguous things for any of those background Zodiac pairings would be lovely, but I also love gen and fluff in this fandom. So basically, what I'm hopefully saying, is that I will love anything you make for me here: fluff, angst, shippy, gen, UST-y, hijinks, just another day in the life... anything!

Request Fandom 1: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Harry Potter / Voldemort
Request:
I love them in domestic and fluffy things. I love them in dark things (either/both dark like torture/death/etc and dark like going to the dark side). I love light, grey, and dark Harry, and grey and dark Tom/Voldy. Harry who is just done with everything and wants to see what the other side has to offer? Tom/Voldy who was fighting the good fight all along and his message was warped by the light? Pick your trope and I am here for it.
More Details:
Er, yes. So I love Voldie. I have a thing for villains (I blame Disney) and Voldie hits so many of my villain buttons. He and Harry are probably my top ship in HP, which is saying a lot because I ship half of this world. What about Dark!Harry inspecting his warriors? Or how they came to ally? Or after the alliance/romance, fluffy domestic fic. What if 16-year-old Horcrux!Tom is different than Voldie and it is him that Harry falls for? In general, I like angst, and hurt/comfort. I like turning characters dark (especially if there is a whole other dark faction run by Harry that is secretly also fighting in the war, in which case other Gryffs, DA members, or anyone from Draco's gang (including him) are welcome to join in on the ebilness. However, I know that not everyone likes dark!fic or dark!characters, and I do totally like other things. Humor and fluff can be fun, as can awkward first acknowledgements of attraction. Dragons are awesome, wheezes and pranks are awesome, and domestic, morning around the house kind of fic (and/or kid!fic) are awesome.
Manipulative and/or evil Dumbledore is great, though I'm also down for 'oblivious to human nature re: the Dursleys and all the bullying at Hogwarts' Dumbledore. My other faves are the twins and Neville, but feel free to bash anyone else needed on the "Light" side if needed to turn Harry Dark.

Request Fandom 2: Good Omens (TV)
Aziraphale / or & Crowley
Request:
In preparation for season 2 coming, give me a moment between the Almostgeddon and whatever the future holds for our duo. Adam changed a lot more than they thought, and things go Very Wrong? Domestic "we survived, now let's move in together" fluff? Zira keeps saying the same old shit about how demons are inherently evil and Crowley has had enough?
More Details:
I love these two, and I'm really down for anything with them. When I say something set after Season 1, it doesn't necessarily have to follow the canonical ending. They failed Adam and had to run off to Alpha Centauri? Fine. Something went wrong during their "trials"? Fine. That said, something set in history with them would also be great. Another missing moment in time, perhaps where one doesn't realize the other is there? Maybe Warlock and Adam (and those kids in the arc) aren't the only little miscreants that Crowley has adopted through the ages, and just takes as given that Zira will help him with? Pretty much anything with these ineffable dorks is good for me.

Request Fandom 4: Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys
[Any]
God how I love this album! I'd love some world-building here. Flesh out the Killjoy universe for me a bit. I'd love a take on anyone's backstory, or how any of the gang came to be in the zones. The zone equivalent of a "domestic" day/night around whatever passes for home. How did the gang end up with Motorbaby? Hijinks. Anything with Grace/Motorbaby, really. How did the boys get saved from Korse's lair after Sing? Basically just go wild and have fun with it. :D
More Details:
Someone else nominated my dustlane trash family! Who are you? We should be friends! A quick note that by Killjoys I don't just mean the fab 4, but Show Pony, Cheri, etc. Everyone in the dustlanes! That said, I love found family and team fic with the gang, love the inclusion of Motorbaby, and would love something focused on her individual relationships with the Killjoys and/or the group as a whole. Something in the immediate aftermath Sing, when she's moving through other groups, would be cool. Worldbuilding as a whole would be aces. I headcanon that the Draculoids might be former Killjoys (mostly for that angst punch when Poison rips off that one's mask in Sing) which you can use or totally ignore.
I've read the comics, and I do love and adore the world of Ask Poison and it has been largely incorporated into my headcanon, so you can play with that too if you'd like. (But by no means do I consider it necessary for you to include either of those).
o)(O)(o
Request Fandom 2: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)
Buffy Summers / or & Faith Lehane
Faith Lehane / or & Willow Rosenberg
Request:
Faith/Buffy: Their canon relationship is so tangled, and something equally dark and tangled would be lovely. Faith has a dark side, and even when she returns and is part of the gang in S7, that undercurrent is there. Something dealing with the "Feels like it was made for me, guess that means it is yours" duality of being the second slayer?
Faith/Willow: Kennedy always felt to me like Faith Lite. I'd love to see something with Faith seducing Willow during S7 instead. Or, AU? What if Faith was the first one called to Sunnydale and met Willow back then? Determined to draw the nerd out of her shell?
More Details:
H/C is A+ here: Slayers always get a little battered at some point. Enemies-to-lovers with that dark, violent, unpredictability from Faith would also be delightful. Even in the show, without the overt f/f, Faith always had that seductive edge. Usually seducing people into cutting class or staking vamps or coming to the dark side, but still. What if she talked Buffy into cutting classes for a different reason? I'd love to see her going up against early season Willow and using her wiles on her. "I shouldn't but I can't resist you" is a great trope here. But the older, (more) broken, (more) jaded, S7 versions of the girls are great too. Playing with the timelines is also great, switching Faith and Kendra, or Faith and Buffy? Meeting earlier or later? Time travel? Meeting the Alternate Universe version of themselves who are together? Feel free to trope it up!

AO3: ChokolatteJedi
Things I love, in general:
- Tropes: aliens made us do it, cooking, dress uniforms/suiting up, glasses (and/or glasses!kink), goddesses/gods, goth or punk AUs
- Archetypes: antisocial geniuses, boys in eyeliner, chaotic neutral or similar characters, double agents, found families, geeks and geekery, spies, spunky chicks, team-as-family, tomboys, tough-on-the-outside bishies, tricks and tricksters
- Animals: animal sidekicks/pets, dragons, kitties, being adopted by the pet/familiar in question, other mythological creatures
- Dark: angst, apocalypses, bittersweet endings, blood, dark themes, death, dub-con, dystopias, evil cliffhanger endings, hurt/comfort, illness, insanity, unhappy endings, whump
- Light: comedy, fluff, happy endings, hijinks, shenanigans, shiny things, snark, sneaking, sparkly things, squee
- Queers: bi- or pansexuality, drag queens, established pairs bringing in a mutual third, OT3s, rainbow representation in all forms
- Relationships: gen, femslash, slash, het, multi
- Style: drabbles, drabble series, episoliary, IF, meta, ploty things, random little life/death snippets, worldbuilding
Things I DNW, in general:
- Subjects: animal cruelty, bashing requested characters, dentistry (seriously, no teeth pulling, dentist visits, those drill noises, none of it! I realize that Hermione's parents are dentists, and that's fine, just don't talk about their jobs in detail, please), infidelity
- Kink: coprophilia/watersports/focus on bodily waste, A/B/O, explicit sex scenes/pwp, non-con
- Real Life: COVID, current events, glorified gay bashing, issuefic,** politics (fictional fantasy world political intrigue is fine as long as it doesn't mirror the US dumpster fire I'm living in)
- Style: 2nd Person POV, reader insert
** "issuefic" has a variety of meanings. My meaning: a story where the fact that something could be an issue is the focus. For example, if I ask for slash A/B, and they are in the military, a story about how they can't be out as gay because military - that's issuefic.

I have real life for that. I hope that makes sense, and if you have any questions, please feel free to have the mods ask me for clarification.
Other things, in general:
- For canons where we know the characters as children, please age them to at least 14 before putting them in sexual relationships
- I opted for both fic and art for all my requests, so go wild!
- Obligatory "treats are enabled" and welcome note
- Generic potential spoiler warning for any and all canons that follow
