other pairings besides those requested as a focus (background a-ok!) | permanent character death within ship requested | unhappy or hopeless endings | infidelity between requested pairing(s) | unrequited love (requited unrequited okay if it gets resolved by the end) | violent rape/non-con (dub-con okay as long as both parties ultimately enjoy themselves whether they're okay with that or not) | omegaverse | bodily fluid kinks (scat, watersports, vomit, etc.) | mpreg | snuff | unrequested genderswap/bend/trans/nb headcanons | explicit underage sex (16+ ok) | incest | mommy/daddy kink | unresolved toxic relationship behavior | age play/infantilism | anal sex/anal play | bestiality (dogs/cats/etc.: no; sentient/alien/supernatural creatures: yes!) | modern politics/real world issues (canon-compliant issues are welcome!) | character bashing | characters acting wildly OOC without significant plot reasons | hurt no comfort | active love triangles (mention of past relationships ok) | age-regression/de-aging
General Note: If it's not listed here, I either don't know I don't want it yet (in which case, that's on me) or it's free game!
FANDOM Note: Some fandoms below have a SIGNIFICANTLY smaller DNW list to accommodate darker themes and straight up Dead Dove prompts. Please refer to my original request on Ao3 for those DNWs. (CO: E33, V:tM)
Ashe/Basch/Penelo: My poor brain and heart can't handle an active love triangle between these three. Ashe/Basch and Basch/Penelo have to live in two completely separate head canons/universes, so please do not combine the two. Pick one or the other and focus on it though and I will be happy as a clam, which is also why I offered the & (friendship) options for these pairings as well.
Marianne Dashwood/John Willoughby: Please do not have Marianne pining endlessly for Willoughby in what I would like to be a Marianne/Brandon love story. I am perfectly fine with her reflecting on their relationship and her own behavior, and some pining is to be expected, I absolutely get that. But I would prefer her to be at least (mostly) "over" him before she commits to Brandon.

Basically, if it's a fun historical, sci-fi, fantasy, or horror setting, I'm all for it. But here are some of my favorites if you need help:
Pirates/Sailors | Dragons/Dragonriders (Shapeshifting is great too) | Vampire: the Masquerade | Haunted Houses | any requested characters inserted into any Final Fantasy setting (FFXII and FFVIII are my go-tos) | Space Exploration | Movie/Book/Video Game AUs or Crossovers (as long as my requested pairs are the focus) | Regency | Victorian | Gothic Horror | College/University | Magic | Cyberpunk | Steampunk | Solarpunk | Supernatural | Fantasy | Sci-fi | Canon Divergence
watercolor and ink styles | experimental or abstract coloring | I am VERY easy to please with art as long as it looks finished (no unfinished sketches, i.e. visible guidelines, visible gesture drawing without some coloring, pencil only etc.)
