Dear Author (Yuletide - Run with the Wind, From Eroica with Love, The Towering Inferno, The Expanse)

[tangeriner]

Hello! Thanks so much for writing something for me! I'm very excited! I am also extremely easygoing and easy-to-please, so no worries there. Also please feel free to ignore any of my prompts and come up with your own!

Some things I particularly love:
- happy endings
- gratuitous nudity
- sexy stuff
- first times
- pining
- gazing
- bathing
- casual swearing
- long hair
- friendship
- tropes (basically all of them!)

I do prefer canon-stories more than AUs (excluding canon divergence), but it's not a strong preference, and I don't have any AU settings I don't like. I do prefer third person a little more strongly, present or past. Any rating is okay with me, up to and including explicit.

DNWs:
- non-con/dub-con
- cheating
- A/B/O
- gender/sexswap
- unrelenting darkfic (angst is fine)
- deathfic
- unhappy endings
- underage smut (under 18)
- mpreg
- incest
- power imbalances between the characters (i.e. teacher/student, boss/employee, D/s AUs, etc.)

Run with the Wind - Nico, Yuki

The anime was a total delight. Nico is pretty much my fav of the whole show. Canon or post-canon future fic. I do ship Yuki/Nico, but if you wanna go the friendship route, I'm up for that. I love how much they annoy each other but ultimately understand and support each other. I also love how the whole team interact and how much they like each other, so feel free to throw anyone else into the story as well. I appreciate all the group bathing these guys do.

Prompts:
- adrenaline plus all that bathing together leads to some deep, soul-revealing conversations
- years later, they meet again and reminisce or whatever
- some sort of minor sports injury that they try to hide together after the other discovers it

From Eroica with Love - Klaus, Dorian

I love Klaus and Dorian and the time period and their long-lasting friendship (such as it is). Any point in canon would be awesome, including future fic where Klaus is just tried with pretending and has basically reached the point where he's just done with it all (except Dorian). I ship these guys like mad, and have for years, and for them, I would like a happy ending.

Prompts:
- Case-fic where they are undercover as pretend boyfriends and things get a little too real
- Klaus is actually gay and finally is at a point where he accepts it, much to Dorian's delight
- Road trip, via (roofless) car or motorcycles, so Dorian can wear flowy scarves

The Towering Inferno - Mike, Doug

This is one of those pairings you read during Yuletide, and your soul decides a) yes is good and b) yes want more. This is one of my favourite movies ever, and I love everything about it. Any point in their lives is good. I mostly just really want more of this pairing to exist. And if you wanna go the friendship route instead, I'm into stories about shared traumatic experiences.

Prompts:
- end up working in the same city, on the same project, some years in the future
- friendship leads to annual tradition of weekend getaway and bonding experiences
- they both end up in the same hard-to-find gay bar and are both surprised in a good way

The Expanse (TV) - Amos, Prax

I love this show so much, and I love the crew so much, and I love the characters so much, and I love Amos so much. I appreciate he's aware of what he can't do and relies on people he's identified as having that missing thing and uses them as his moral compass. I especially love his relationship with Prax and how that proceeds. I ship them, but friendship also great here!

Prompts:
- boredom leads to something not so boring (platonic or otherwise)
- they almost die and they're full of adrenaline and something happens
- they get trapped somewhere, and it's really hot and dire, and maybe someone is hurt
