chokolattejediWelcome and thank you, Holly Poly writer!
Things I love, in general: Aliens made us do it, amazing hair, angst, animal sidekicks/pets, antisocial geniuses, apocalypses, bi- or pansexuality, bittersweet endings, blood, boys in eyeliner, chaotic neutral or similar characters, chocolate, comedy, cooking, dark themes, death, dragons, drag queens, dress uniforms/suiting up, double agents, dub-con, dystopias, established pairs bringing in a mutual third, evil cliffhanger endings, femslash, fluff, found family, geekboys, geekery, geekgirls, gen, glasses (and/or glasses!kink), goddesses/gods, goth or punk AUs, happy endings, het, hijinks, hurt/comfort, illness, insanity, kitties, meta, OT3s, ploty things, random little life/death snippets, shenanigans, shiny things, slash, snark, sneaking, sparkly things, spies, spunky chicks, squee, team-as-family, tomboys, tough-on-the-outside bishies, tricks and tricksters, unhappy endings, whump… and more, I'm sure.
Things I dislike, in general: 2nd Person POV, animal cruelty, character bashing, coprophilia/watersports, COVID, explicit sex scenes, glorified gay bashing, infidelity, issuefic**, non-con, politics, pwp
** "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: For canons where we know the characters as children, please age them to at least 15 before putting them in romantic relationships. Thank you!
The above may or may not apply to any of my current requests, which I'll detail now.
All of my requests are for Fanfic.

o)(O)(o
Request Fandom 1: Dragonriders of Pern – Anne McCaffrey
Menolly/Mirrim/T'gellan
Menolly remains at the weyr? Dragonrider!Menolly AU? Or harper!Menolly Landing-era hijinx? Fire lizard hijinx? After the engines are placed, what do the Landing gang get up to? Menolly performing for an attentive dragon audience?
More Details: Pretty much I always ask for Harpers, because the world just needs more Harper-fic. I love music but don't know much technical about it, so feel free to handwave.
Request Fandom 2: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Ginny Weasley/Hermione Granger/Luna Lovegood
I would just love for Luna to find someone who treated her well, and understood the brilliant girl hiding behind the airiness. She's a Ravenclaw for a reason, and she brings a unique point of view to life. She clashed a bit with Hermione's devotion to books and rules and concrete examples, and it would be lovely to see Hermione having mellowed a bit and accepting Luna. Perhaps fic about the moment she is introduced to one of the 'imaginary' animals and discovers it is all true?
Specific Prompts: sharing a quiet moment on the grounds/by the greenhouses, visiting the Thestrals, discovering one of her creatures, puttering around their cottage with their gardens/greenhouses/creatures
More Details: I have read many a fic where Luna has some touch of the seer about her, whether that is predictions, seeing auras, or something else. Feel free to add your headcanon for this here! I am down for whatever kind of power you give her.

Request Fandom 3: White Collar
Elizabeth Burke/Neal Caffrey/Peter Burke
I love, love, love h/c here. Neal has had to take care of himself for so long, and understanding that there are people who want to help/he doesn't have to be a good soldier for Peter are hard lessons to fully master. The boys getting hurt on the job and El rushing to the hospital or caring for them at home are also A+
Non-h/c prompts: El and Neal geeking in the kitchen and commiserating about Peter's philistine tastes, movie night shenanigans, El conspiring with Neal and/or Mozzie about something (Christmas/birthday presents, perhaps) and Peter being suspicious (TM)
Request Fandom 4: Jurassic Park
Alan Grant/Ellie Sattler/Ian Malcolm
Post-movie (1st) recovery h/c please! How do they deal with returning to their old life? What happens if the truth comes out and suddenly the public eye is on them? Who else could understand better than those who lived it? Emotional and Physical h/c both A-ok. Or, what if they had to go back, a la the second movies, but with the orig trio? Or, rocks fall, and trauma and flashbacks are interspersed with that same 'must survive' determination?
Additionally, browsing me on AO3 will lead you to my writings, if you think that would be helpful or fun. :D
I think that's everything! Thanks so much!!!
