Trick or Treat Exchange Letter
Hi! Thank you so much for writing for me! ♥
General fic likes
What I really like in literally all circumstances is hurt/comfort for my faves. Fluffy hurt comfort all the way down to really intense tragic hurt/comfort. (Is that the range between treat -> trick? Honestly I'm a bit confused about what these terms mean and I'm not fussed about how you classify what you write.) I love all the super tropey things in this genre -- magical exhaustion, concussion, drugged, huddling for warmth, feverish hallucinations, etc etc. I'm also here for the strong friendships and emotional feels. (I'm also here for ANGST if you like that.)
In general I don't have particularly strong feelings for romance stuff -- I live on the spectrum that's "gen with loads of emotions", "shippy gen", "established relationship where the relationship is just there and taken for granted". So while I've put ships below, I'd prefer romance not be the main focus and whether you write ship or gen for any of the characters is up to you.
Types of fic I like include episode-of-the-week stuff (or a slice from such), tags and missing scenes, canon AUs, just general stories of the characters being themselves and interacting and having a great (or awful) time.
For this exchange I decided to go really particular and only selected my absolute favourite characters from each fandom. But in all the fandoms I've selected I like all the ensemble so please feel free to include any other characters you like.
I ticked all trick/treat/fic/art boxes for everything.
DNWs
Non-canon AUs, stuff set pre-canon (except for W359), sex scenes (kissing plus fade-to-black is really as far as I like), anything at all to do with pregnancy.
Fandom-specific stuff:
Guardian
Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan
Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan is the one exception to my "I don't really care about ship" above. I care about this ship a lot and love them especially as an established relationship just being there for each other through literally anything. I live in handwavy post-canon denial and kind of prefer that over explicit fixits. Although I am happy with other characters thrown in I'd really like a fic focused on these two.
Detective L
Luo Fei, Qin Xiaoman, Benjamin
I love these three! I love Luo Fei being his slightly weird self and Xiaoman being punchy and action-hero and Ben being shy but absolutely loyal. Strong friendship or OT3 is all good.
Wolf 359
Renee Minkowski, Isabel Lovelace, Daniel Jacobi
I adore this show and everyone in the ensemble, but I chose the three above as they are my favourite characters to focus on. Minlace is a nice ship but friendship is just as good -- I absolutely adore the bond between them - them supporting each other through the finale was one of the show highlights for me. Kepcobi feels basically canon (and I do love this really fucked-up ship between two very fucked-up characters). I'm also really into post-canon Lovelace&Jacobi friendship. Also everyone post-canon generally! Like I say, I'm extremly happy for you to include any of the canon characters from the Hephaestus or SI5 crews. The SI5 is the exception to the "no pre-canon" above, I love pre-canon fic of them being varying degrees of awful together.
Vorkosigan Saga
Simon Illyan
I really love Simon! I especially love him with Cordelia and/or Aral, gen or OT3. I do also like and ship him and Alys. I think I prefer fic set pre-Memory right now (and especially during Aral's regency), but that's not a requirement if you want to write something different. This is such a loyalty-kink canon and I'm very down with that.
