jasmassonHello!
Thank you for signing up to the challenge and I’m very excited you got matched with me.
General things about my likes and dislikes; 1) I usually write m/m when I write myself, but am always happy with good gen, 2) I’m happy with any rating from the lightest, fluffiest gen to the most explicit NC17, and I’m good with most kinks including BDSM (my particular kink being orgasm delay/denial/control), incest and rapefic if that’s your jam, with the exceptions being bodily fluids and actual damage; and finally 3) I’m all about the happy ending, so no darkfic or death fic please (other than cannon if necessary), but I‘m perfectly happy for them to suffer along the way to a happy ending!
Treats are cherished!
Some more specifics about my requests:
a) Doctrine of Labyrinths by Sarah Monette, Felix and Mildmay
(Quick explainer if you are picking up a pinch hit or just exploring and aren’t very familiar with the canon: when these books (Melusine, The Virtu, The Mirador and Corambis) were originally published, they were published by Sarah Monette, but the author now writes under the pen name of Katherine Addison. Newer editions of the books are by Katherine Addison, so if you’re trying to find them, don’t be alarmed if you see them by either Sarah Monette or Katherine Addison, they are both correct!)
Feeeeeliiiixxxx. I love Felix. I’d like anything that puts the brothers’ relationship front and centre (I’m good with them developing a romantic relationship if you are, also happy to stay gen), as I love how they (inarticulately and often painfully) love each other very much. AU is fine if you fancy it (High school au? Rock star au?) but happy endings please!
DNW: death outside of canon; unhappy endings.
b) Death in Paradise, Richard Poole
I loved Richard. I’d like anything that explores him, and particularly his relationships with his team, Camille, Dwayne, and Fidel. AUs are fine - I’ve always had a high school au plot bunny with Richard and Fidel the nerds and Camille and Dwayne the cool (but kind) kids, which you’re welcome to if you fancy it!
In regards to romance; perfectly happy with straight gen, but if you do pair Richard with anyone make it Camille, please. Totally open to any kind of relationship for Dwayne and Fidel, between them or with others, if you do slash them, I don’t mind.
DNW: death outside of canon - and if you can ignore the canon death, that would be marvellous! You can AU or canon-diverge it out, but if you keep it in please don’t make it the focus. I like ultimately happy fic!
c) The Tempest, Prospero and Ariel
I‘ve always been fascinated by this relationship, and would be delighted with anything that explores it. How it came about, how they feel about each other and how they interact all interests me. With the servant/master nature of the relationship it leans strongly to dub or non con if you go anywhere sexual, and I’m fine with that. AUs are fine, so long as the master/servant relationship remains (Roman emperor/slave, anyone?!).
DNW: Death fic. Not too dark an ending please; either (mostly) happy together or (mostly) happy with Ariel away and free…
Thank you so much for writing for me, I hope you feel inspired and enjoy it. I’m sure I’ll love reading your work. I am unlikely to be able to read during Christmas Day unless it is short, so I will definitely read by Boxing Day. Good luck!
