I don't have anything more specific in mind here, I'm going to love everything you come up with! :)
To clarify my physical illness DNW - Hinamizawa Syndrome and anything it makes someone do is 100% okay to write about.

Common squicks I'm okay with:
✓ gore and graphic depictions of violence
✓ body horror and any horror in general
✓ self-harm
✓ major character death
✓ humiliation, "cringe"
✓ spiders, insects, any creepy animals/creatures/monsters
✓ pretty much everything that is not a DNW or edging close to a DNW

General dislikes (DNW):
Ø any romance
Ø any smut/shipping-adjacent sexual content regardless of consent level or rating (mentions or focus on canon sexual trauma or abuse are okay and welcome)
Ø any kink
Ø caretaking/caregiving (grooming, feeding, dressing etc. another person)
Ø physical illness/sickness, ranging from common cold to cancer, including fictional ones (physical infections that only cause mental or behavioral symptoms are okay; injuries and non-illness types of disabilities are okay, but still please no caretaking)
Ø unresolved mind control or possession (resolved by the end of the story is okay; aftermath is okay and something I'm very interested in)
Ø soulmates, soulmarks, soulbonds (even platonic)
Ø possessiveness portrayed as positive
Ø violating consent and freedom portrayed as positive when it's "not a big deal" or "for someone's own good", also in a non-sexual context, also when it applies to children (convincing someone to do things they don't like, "playfully" tickling when someone says no, intentionally limiting someone's choices, "grounding", etc.)
Ø self-sacrifice and self-denial portrayed as positive
Ø parents' POV on a parent-child relationship
Ø non-canon pregnancy and childbirth
Ø any AU that completely changes characters' backstories
Ø violent or otherwise graphic death of pets, especially cats (death of old age is okay; violent or graphic death of other animals is okay, especially ones that are hunted for food)

Additional fandom-specific dislikes (DNW):
Ø the relationship between Rika & Satoko portrayed as healthy in Gou/Sotsu canon (earlier in canon is okay; portrayed as fucked up is also 100% okay)

Additional fandom-specific likes:
One of my favorite headcanons/AUs is "The Light" and The City of Light being the same thing because of A.L.I.E. hacking The Stone after the apocalypse. But obviously feel free to ignore it and stick to canon. :)

Canon-specific DNWs & Clarifications:
Canon-specific clarifications to DNWs:
QED/CMB crossovers are fine
General case details are fine very dark (rape/non-con or murder or severe injury) for background characters
The police and judicial system issues occasionally featured in Q.E.D. are about things specific to the Japanese Justice system. Fic about that would be fine

Prompts:
Feelings are more implicit in the manga and tangental, what are our characters feeling? Particularly, Sou POV.
Humanistic case-fic aftermath/clean up
Outsider POV of Sou&Kana or Sou/Kana!
Their classmates' POV of Sou/Kana
Mizuhara Kana/Touba Souichirou is specifically a one-sided 60-year-ish love story, but what if Kana was stuck in the past AU? Or, the one-sided 60-year love story of Touba Souichirou.
Q.E.D. has some absolutely vicious depictions of the Japanese criminal justice system, candid and critical fic centered on that would be interesting

Chronicles of Amber - Roger Zelazny
Coral (Chronicles of Amber), Fanfiction

- Coral is yet another of Oberon's long lost offspring, but she seems to fit in more easily with the next gen than the original royals. I'd love to see her meet the other princes and princesses of Amber, and have some deep and meaningful conversations with her siblings. What's it like to come into this family from the outside?
- Coral makes some bold choices: risking her life to test her bloodline on the Pattern, and asking it to send her where it chooses. What are some other mysteries she might investigate, or assumptions she might overturn?
- Coral has to help one of her many relatives out of trouble, using her wits, diplomacy, combat skills, or Jewel of Judgment powers.
- Relationships: I'm fine with gen or ships. If you would like to include shipping, I ship Coral with Merlin, with Luke, or with both.

Fandom Specific Do Not Want: I don't want graphic descriptions of eye injury or eye surgery. I am fine with mentioning those canon events (ie that Coral's eye was damaged and then replaced with the Jewel of Judgment), but would prefer no heavy focus on the topic.

DO NOT WANT: Noncon, underage, bleak endings, crossovers, setting change AUs like high school, coffee shop, or omegaverse (but canon divergence AUs are fine).

Discworld - Terry Pratchett
Sacharissa Cripslock (Discworld), Fanfiction

- Sacharissa goes through an amazing metamorphosis from when we first meet her in The Truth, a traditional engraver's granddaughter who's very concerned to be a proper young lady, to a canny newshound with sharp instincts for a good story. I would love to see more of her journey, as the Times expands its operations, and she and her colleagues invent journalism.
- I really love that by the time of Going Postal, Sacharissa is adept at verbal sparring with someone like Moist von Lipwig, and has the confidence and insight to cut through his fabrications. What's her relationship like with the other significant figures in the city? Has she ever interviewed Vetinari? Has she gone along on investigations with Vimes? I also love that Sacharissa has just happened to develop a vast network of people who confide the latest gossip to her.
- Relationships: I'm fine with gen or ships. If you would like to include shipping, I ship Sacharissa with William de Worde.

Seafort Saga - David Feintuch
Nicholas Seafort (Seafort Saga), Edgar Tolliver (Seafort Saga), Vax Holser (Seafort Saga), Alexi Tamarov (Seafort Saga), Fanfiction

- I love all these characters for their loyalty, bravery, sacrifice, and intense UST. I wish we got to see more of their lives in between the crises they face. I'm happy to read about any, some, or all of them.
- Derelict ships and abandoned outposts! Of course someone has to investigate.
- Shore leave! Possibly together with someone else, who has very different ideas about what they should do on shore leave. Or what games might they play during downtime aboard ship? Something fiercely competitive? Strip poker? Truth or dare?
- Do they ever tell stories about ghost ships that wander through space, or lost colonies that vanished off the map, or sightings of alien artefacts? Has anyone ever encountered them?
- Relationships: I'm fine with gen or ships. If you would like to include shipping, I ship any of these characters with any of the others.

Fandom Specific Do Not Want: I don't want infidelity. For their canon relationships, I'd be happy with any of the following: after it ends, alternate universe where it never happened, or just not mentioned.

DO NOT WANT: Noncon, underage, bleak endings, crossovers, setting change AUs like high school, coffee shop, or omegaverse (but canon divergence AUs are fine).

Quiller Series - Adam Hall
Quiller (Quiller Series), Ferris (Quiller Series), Fanfiction

Quiller
- The Quiller books are Cold War spy thrillers. They have been described as occupying a literary middle ground between James Bond and John le Carré.
- What I love is not the action nor the geopolitics, but the psychology of it, and the love-hate relationship that Quiller has with the nameless Bureau that holds his life and death in its hands.
- What's a day in the life in between missions, when Quiller is at the Bureau, and interacting with the other people there? How well does he know any of them? What are the undercurrents and politics?
- Quiller always chooses Ferris as his preferred director in the field. What was their first meeting like? What cemented Ferris as his favourite?
- Quiller mentions there are women in the training course he runs at Norfolk, but the Bureau otherwise seems to have few women and mostly in support roles. What happens as times change, and there are more women as shadow executives, directors in the field, and mission controls?
- Relationships: I'm fine with gen or ships. If you would like to include shipping, I ship Quiller with Ferris.

Ferris
- What's it like being the director in the field? You're basically the middle man, caught between the dictates of the Bureau and the demands of the shadow executive. What happens when you can't save both the mission and the agent? Has Ferris ever had to make impossible choices?
- Ferris is always Quiller's first choice, but does Ferris see Quiller the same way? What are his relationships like with the other shadow executives he runs, or with the other directors, controls, and staff of the Bureau?
- Ferris has an obsession with killing insects whenever he runs across them. I feel like this is either (1) hinting at something off with him that everyone somehow accepts, or (2) based on some horrific past trauma. Part of me is curious about how this illuminates his character, but part of me really doesn't want upsetting details. It's kind of unfair to ask anyone to thread that needle, but if you think you can do something with it, then go for it.
- Relationships: I'm fine with gen or ships. If you would like to include shipping, I ship Ferris with Quiller.

Canon:
- There are 19 books in this series. However, I would be perfectly happy with a story based on just one of them. I originally read the books over twenty years ago, and I've only reread some of them recently. Some have dated better than others.
- Quiller is in all the books. I wouldn't necessarily recommend starting with the first book, since it's rather different from the rest. My favourites of the ones I've reread are Northlight, Quiller Solitaire, and The Tango Briefing.
- Ferris is in The Striker Portfolio, The Sinkiang Executive, The Pekin Target, Northlight, and Quiller Balalaika. (Unless I've overlooked one.) Ferris is only in the last quarter of Northlight, but it's my favourite of his.

Fandom Specific Do Not Want:
- I don't want specific mentions of real life tragedies or real life politicians, that occur later than the time period of the books (ie nothing from 1997 onwards). I am fine with generic references (eg the conflict in the Middle East, the British Prime Minister) and invented incidents (eg a fictional bombing, a fictional assassination).
- I don't want animal harm (though insects are fine if not graphic).

DO NOT WANT: Noncon, underage, bleak endings, crossovers, setting change AUs like high school, coffee shop, or omegaverse (but canon divergence AUs are fine).

Klavigar Nadox (SCP Foundation), Klavigar Lovataar (SCP Foundation), Klavigar Orok (SCP Foundation), Fanfiction

Treats: enabled & welcome!

General DNWs:
- Time loops (including both stable time loops and Groundhog Day style time loops).
- Rape/noncon.
- Hopeless endings.
- Unrequested setting-change AUs (as opposed to canon divergence, which is pretty much always welcome)
- Stories that are entirely about sex.
- Mundane AUs.
- A/B/O.
- Soulmates.

Art DNWs
- Unprompted genitalia.

General Likes:
- Time travel, including: time travel fixit; time travel with the glorious angst of knowing you're overwriting your future to give the past a chance; time travel that results in forming new kinds of relationships with people, like becoming friends with someone who was an enemy in the old timeline.
- Worldbuilding.
- A sense of wonder.
- Loyalty.
- Characters temporarily putting aside their weapons or sources of power as a show of trust.
- Best enemies, who might kill each other someday but fundamentally respect and trust each other, perhaps more than they do their nominal allies. Rivals and enemies becoming friends, or allies, or lovers, or swearing loyalty to one another.
- Kneeling. Physical gestures of loyalty or affection.
- Unexpected mercy. Mercy in general, too.
- Magical abilities/superpowers in daily life.
- Powerful women. Women holding power over men. Femdom.
- Characters who have high standards and ruthlessly apply those standards to themselves.
- Righteous rage.
- Competence.
- Hurt/comfort.
- Diplomatic/nonviolent solutions being viable!
- ... not to say I don't appreciate a nice badass fight scene, though,
- Characters pushing themselves to their limits and beyond, and others being there to catch them when they do.
- Characters who are convinced that they don't matter and no one cares learning that actually someone does care and does think they matter.
- Rescues! Rescues where the rescuee is convinced no one's coming, implacable rescuers overcoming terrible obstacles to save their friends/lovers.

Prompts:
- I'm into the intense backstory, codependant apocalyptic situation these characters have going on in the In Memoria Adytum canon, and I'm also into the cheerful Vanguard future where Orok is the ally you call in when you need a god eaten and everyone's busy having flame wars with the Mechanists on Twitter.

-Also, body horror (not that any of these guys are horrified by it anymore.) Lots of that with these characters! Fleshcrafting as art, fleshcrafting as craft (which they learned and also taught), fleshcrafting as gift of/connection to their boyfriend/messiah.

- (I ship pretty much all possible configurations of Klavigars with each other or with Ion.)

Nadox and Lovataar are from the evil empire Ion rebelled against, Orok might be, it's complicated—how do they feel about it? Are they drawn to each other because no one else gets it?

Does Lovataar ever go undercover in the Daevite Empire?

For Orok, I'm really intensely into the slave gladiator part of his backstory.

Nadox has a ton of physical injuries that he's apparently decided not to heal even though he pretty clearly could--why does he choose to do without, say, a tongue?

(In the timeline where the Daevas turn out to be a perfectly normal country with a dramatic past, were these guys part of a normal religious movement or did they still wind up as a bunch of fleshcrafters with ambitions to eat gods?)

- Characters pleading mercy on behalf of others, either in a desperate "you're going to kill me but please don't kill them to" situation or in a more formal "please spare him, my liege!" situation.

Prompts:

Eneera Tor:
- Reaches Farthest, the first Feathered Horse Queen! Who was she before she took those names?
- How did her revolt stake shape? How did she get the support of the vendref (and to what degree did she pay that back? The Feathered Horse Queens “speak for” the vendref—to what degree and in what sense?) Were the Grazer women who supported her eager or reluctant to rebel?
- Tell me about her duel with Esnandral!
- How did she come to ally with Endars Stand-Up? Did that happen before or after she killed his brother and predecessor?
- Tell me about the heroquest that gave her her powers and status!
What kind of relationship did she have with Yoristina, and her other unnamed daughters? How did she teach them? Did she rely on their support?

 

Vistera:
- Vistera (the Feathered Horse Queen “With Bitter Heart”) is a really intriguing character—I like her determination in the face of tragedy. (I’d also be interested in fixit, of course!)
- She started out leading a rebellion against her sister—interesting parallels with Eneera Tor! I’m really curious about how that rebellion went.
- She’s probably the Feathered Horse Queen who underwent a proxy marriage to Kallyr Starbrow. Maybe that could have made them Queen and King of Dragon Pass if they hadn’t used a proxy?
- “She ruthlessly avenged the deaths of her mother, grandmother and sisters”—one of those sisters she led a revolt against, while the other disappeared after losing a contest to Jar-Eel! So I’m curious about Vistera’s vengeance.
- She’s succeeded by her niece Inkarne—who, if I’m reading right, is also the daughter of the king of Lunar Tarsh. Is Vistera suspicious of her niece, or does she mentor her—or both? Does she see winning her niece back from the Lunars as part of winning her war?

Fandom-Specific Likes:
- Sworn to protect a world that hates and fears them? My id.
- Mutant powers! I love exploration of mutant powers, how they work, how people use them in daily life, clever ways to use them in fights.
- I love how totally bonkers X-Men comics can be. Space opera adventures one day, canon sword & sorcery AU the next? Of course!
- Redemption!

- I love how dramatic so many of these characters are. Magneto, Storm, Exodus, lots of others—they live their lives turned up to eleven and I adore that. (I also love the idea of them bonding over how this is another person who understands the worth of drama!)
- I have a thing for power—well, multiple things for power. I love superpowers themselves, the way they might change how their wielder sees the world. I love powerful women.
- I'm a huge fan of the whole Jean/Phoenix/Rachel/Maddy tangle of identity and power and legacy.

Bennet du Paris
- I enjoy his entire man-out-of-time angle (the medieval crusader who's now latched onto a new holy war), his great drama, his intensity, his ridiculous outfit, his poor decisions.
- How did Magneto recruit him? Alternately, what if someone else had woken him up and been his introduction to the modern world? (Cyclops, Storm, Rachel, Jean...)
- I ship him with Magneto, and I'd also ship him with anyone else in his liege spot!

Madelyne Pryor:
- I'm really interested in fixit--while I loved some of the buildup to Inferno (Maddy was great in Genosha), I really hate what ended up happening to her in that storyline, and I'd love to see her come back from that (maybe with the aid of an old friend from the X-Men?) or take another path to begin with.
- I'd be interested in her interacting more with Jean, Rachel, or the Phoenix outside of battle—I love that whole tangle of identities and powers.
- I really loved her as a member of the X-Men, and I'd love to see a world where she stayed there longer, helping the team despite her lack of powers.

Any previous X-Men prompts still valid (see linked letters).
