Hello dear match! Thank you for signing up and now writing/drawing for me, I am so excited to see what you come up with! First things first, as long as you respect my DNWs and focus on the gen or ship(s) we matched on I am cool with pretty much anything.This whole letter is just to give you a feel for my likes and, if you want/need it, provide a few ideas for you to springboard off. On to the letter then!

DNWs
My DNWs are as follows:

• Absolutely no rape/non-con or dub-con (not even reference to past occurrences; this includes mind-rape with a sexual element, but not non-sexual mind control)
• No underage (the only exception being between two teenagers of the same age if they are at least 16)
• No harm to animals (characters may go through the wars, but any animals that feature must be kept safe)
• No character bashing 
• No human/no-power AUs (AUs in general are okay, but aliens must retain their original race and powers and mutants must retain their mutant ability etc)
• No major OCs (background filler characters are however fine)
• No focus on any romantic relationship outside of those requested (canon pairings may be referenced if the story requires it)

General Likes
I'm open to any genre, but am particularly into angst with an open/hopeful ending and humorous fluff. I enjoy 3rd, 1st and even 2nd person if it fits the story. I like experimental styles, especially switching perspectives, shifts forwards/backwards in time, beginnings that don't make sense until you've read part of the story (including beginning with a fragment of a later scene) and frame-esque narratives (stories within stories or unrelated stories that turn out to be intricately linked). That being said, I am also more than happy to receive work with a "normal" narrative style.

I love a whole host of themes and tropes, so feel free to include any that you see fit. As a rough guideline, ideas/concepts I particularly love include found family, healthy and positive sibling or parent-child relationships (including adoption), redemption arcs and second chances, bad actions/decisions being made with good intentions, loyalty, lovers healing one another (including "mutual learning to love again"), sacrifices for love (in a familial, friendly or romantic sense), heroes helping citizens (think distributing medicine, evacuating ahead of natural disasters or even simply running a shift in the local food bank), 5+1 fics, subverting tropes (particularly surprise subversion), characters being nice to animals/pet adoption (particularly if said characters are usually tough or morally grey), characters caught in timeloops until they admit their feelings or save their loved ones, soulmate AUs where the soulmate aspect isn't the focus of the story, unexpected twists and hopeful endings. I do not have a problem with character death IF the death has meaning (ie stops a villain or saves a loved one/innocent bystander), so feel free to give me a heartbreaking "goodbye" scene.

I'm okay with any rating for romance, but generally prefer violence to be no higher than 15 (so high teen). My sex likes/kinks are clear consent, BDSM (especially if the weaker/less dominant character is in charge), teasing/organism delay, characters getting off on the emotional side of intimacy, mutual first time (co-loss of virginity), rough desperate sex, fail!sex turning into enjoyable sex for all characters involved, sex whilst one (or more) character is injured, body worship, psionic sex (use of telepathy or related powers during sex, particularly to share thoughts or orgasms) and slow, incredibly gentle sex. I'd prefer not to receive works with any "out-there" kinks that I have not specifically mentioned.

Finally, just FYI, my absolute favourite characters are Cassandra Cain (DCU comics), Rachel Grey/Summers (Marvel Comics) and Nebula (MCU), so if you're struggling literally anything featuring them would be the greatest gift I could ask for. 


DCU
Big Barda/Scott Free
I really love these two as a comedic (but totally committed to one another) duo. I must admit I haven't read any New-52 or Rebirth stuff featuring them, so would prefer works set pre-52 continuity. I have a particular love of JLI and original Mr Miracle run, so anything based around Scott and Barda trying to live on Earth would be brilliant! A few ideas:

• "Beating up bad guys" as a date (because Scott is a gentleman and knows what his lady likes)
• Barda attempts human housework as a nice gesture for Scott (and fails spectacularly, but Scott loves the fact she tried so it doesn't matter)
• An exploration of how Barda's massively increased strength and durability and Scott's skill as an escape artist translates into their bedroom activities 

Stephenie Brown / or & Cassandra Cain
I really love these two in any of their incarnations, but am particularly fond of Batgirl!Cass and Spoiler/Robin!Steph. I think they're both often underused and underestimated compared to the rest of the bat family, so would love a piece that gives them a chance to shine. Conversely, I am also into really domestic civilian things with these two- give me all of the "Steph shows Cass normal childhood/teenage things". Prompts include:

•  The girls go on a date/girl's night out  and fluff ensues (would especially love it if it's Cass's first time having a picnic/going to the cinema/etc)
• Steph and Cass team up to save the Robins (bonus points if Batman is watching from afar, and loses a bet to Oracle/Batwoman when Steph and Cass pull off the rescue mission)
• For Rebirth, what if Cass had left the Gotham Knights with Steph (or, conversely, Cass had convinced Steph to stay)- how would things have played out differently?

Beatriz da Costa / or & Tora Olafsdotter
Another favorite pairing of mine. I'm interested in any point of continuity, from Global Guardians through Checkmate (and even alternate realities, such as JL 3000 or Bombshell!verse). Whilst I'd love them to get their happily ever after, there's such great angst potential here- especially Bea dealing with Tora's death and her repeated encounters with her "spirit". Potential ideas

• Bea teaching Tora about the "ways of the world" when she first joins the Global Guardians (there's a lot of comedic potential here, especially with Tora being more perceptive than other characters believe)
• Black lantern drama (Bea being forced to fight Tora and attempt to break the black ring's hold on her- also the potential to choose a different ring for each if you see fit!)
• Tora's POV as, stuck as a ghost, she watches Bea suffer during her Checkmate days (up to you if you leave it angsty or put a more hopeful twist on things by having Tora able to change things for the better for Bea, even without her knowing)
• Secretly talking to one another using Portuguese or Norsk (leading to all-round confusion amongst their teammates and super-villains alike)

Marvel Comics
Kitty Pryde / or & Rachel Summers
These two are my OTP, but if writing them as a couple's not your thing I'd still be thrilled to read gen with the two of them. I love any reality, any time period and any version of Kitty and Rachel themselves. I like one standing up for the other, "Dasmels out of distress" and silly little civilian girls-night/date-night shenanigans. A bit of angst is okay, but I'd like the girls to get their happy ending if at all possible. Suggestions:

• Cross-Time Caper Hijinks! (particularly if it involves Kitty and Rachel saving the others, or a "pretend to be a couple but secretly both crushing on one another" moment)
• Pre X-Men: The End piece (in an interview, Claremont stated that Kitty and Rachel were together in X-Men the end and had a red-haired daughter. I've love a piece exploring their dynamic, potentially involving the need for secrecy as I'm fairly sure Kitty's campaign manager/bodyguard being her wife would be frowned upon) 
• Chaperoning the students during WatXM era (bonus points if they end up kissing, only to be interrupted by the students who all ship it but catcall anyway because they're all teenagers)
• Rachel feels the need to prove herself, and so challenges Piotr/Pete Wisdom/Peter Quill/all of them to increasingly dangerous and over-the-top contests, which leaves Kitty exasperated (but she secretly finds Rachel kicking ass kind of hot so will let it slide)

Kurt Wagner & Kitty Pryde & Rachel Summers
Good old friendship, set either in the Excalibur era or during X-Men Gold. Either working together against a villain (I have a soft spot for Warwolves and the Technet) or just goofing around together. Potential ideas include:

• Kitty and Kurt team up to rescue Rachel from the timestream post Excalibur #75
• The three try out "English" sports (from the more "normal" cricket, hockey and rugby to crazier offerings like cheese-rolling, shin-kicking or nettle eating)- hilarity and heated competition ensues!
• The three enjoy a danger-room session against an army led by a highly-caricatured Emma Frost 

Jean Grey & Nathan Summers & Rachel Summers
Summers family bonding! Please give Jean a chance to be a great mum, as she was for infant/young Nathan. Either cute family outings (Jean takes her brood to the fair or circus despite Nathan being older than her and even Rachel being in her late teens). In this case, no character death please (although past character death is fine, and probably unavoidable given the characters).

Lorna Dane & Pietro Maximoff & Wanda Maximoff
Sibling bonding time please! In canon we've had some great Lorna-Pietro and Pietro-Wanda moments, but never really seen Lorna and Wanda or all three interact together. Fix it anyway you see fit! Potential suggestions:

• Pietro, Wanda and Lorna are all that stands between humanity and Magneto's wraith. Unfortunately for Magneto, his children are sick and tired of his temper tantrums and more than his equal in terms of power.
• Pietro has been forced to present the "Siblings of the Year" Awards and so drags his sisters along for moral support. Instead, they spend the night poking fun at him and taking decidedly unflattering photos (but, when it really matters, step in to help him save the event from a villain attack)
• Wanda and Pietro tell Lorna they are not, in fact, Magneto's children. Lorna is devastated, but the twins insist that she is still their sister in all the ways that matter.

MCU
Mantis/Nebula
I am down for all of the awkward admissions of affection, mutual learning to love/be loved, sucking at being a "good" girlfriend (but it not mattering because it's the thought not execution of romantic gestures that counts), secret relationship (that everyone but Drax knows about anyway), porn with feelings and mutual pining. A few suggestions:

• Nebula's reaction post/during Endgame when Mantis is restored (leading to either a cute or smutty expression of love)
• Mantis being the confident/dominant one in the relationship (especially in sexual situations)
• A good old shower scene (I'm a sucker for heart to heart talks leading to cuddles or more intense physical contact)
• Nebula taking a bullet/knife/blast meant for Mantis, then Mantis helping her through her recovery
• Protective girlfriend!Mantis shocks the Guardians in her aggressive defense of Nebula in the face of unwanted male suitors

Gamora / or & Nebula
I tend to lean towards gen for this pairing as I love their dynamic as sisters, but am open to a piece exploring them as lovers instead. Would particularly like mutual sacrifices for one another, making the best of a bad situation together and rebuilding trust/relationships. Specific prompts include:

• Gamora leaves the Guardians temporarily to help Nebula. Nebula can't quite understand why, but is begrudgingly grateful (the inevitable fight with Thanos's forces leads to the sisters showing off some crazy combo moves together and ultimately bonding)
• AU where either an older Nebula or Gamora goes back in time to rescue and raise their sister
• Either Luphomoids or Zenhoberians celebrate a "sibling day", and so Gamora and Nebula spend it together enjoying their growing sisterhood
• Nebula lost some of her fights with Gamora growing up on purpose to save her; fast forward to the present and something Nebula does leads Gamora to realize this, and attempt to make amends (even if she can never quite repay the suffering Nebula endured on her behalf)
• AU where Nebula is sent after the stone instead of Gamora, and so ends up caught up with the Guardians instead. How does the Guardians, and the sisters, dynamics change? 

Jane Foster & Nebula
I'd never considered this combination, but when I saw this tag I was intrigued. I can see the two instantly clicking, and especially like the image of Thor (wanting to get back with his ex) being scared off by an overly protective Nebula much to Jane's amusement. Whilst I'd be open to any exploration of a friendship between the two, a few tentative ideas include:

• Jane's grasp of physics allows Nebula to save Gamora and as such, Nebula believes she owes Jane a blood debt. Cue extremely protective Nebula following Jane everywhere (which Jane finds oddly endearing).
• Stuck on Earth due to the Guardians attending an Avengers event, a very much not-enjoying herself Nebula sneaks off to the roof to enjoy some peace and quiet and admire the stars. She turns out not to be the only one- Jane had the same idea. The two then bond over their shared dislike of parties (and Jane totally fangirls over Nebula's space knowledge, which Nebula finds weirdly flattering)
• Jane wants to learn to fight, and so is taking lessons from (a MCU female warrior of your choice)- one day her normal instructor is busy and so a reluctant Nebula has been roped into leading her session. 

Peter Quill & Rocket Raccoon & Groot & Drax the Destroyer & Gamora & Mantis & Nebula
I love the "Guardians as a family" concept, so give me family shenanigans! Ideally set sometime after GotG vol 2, but if you want to go for after Endgame (or indeed AU where Infinity War doesn't happen) that would be fine too. I'm quite partial to Rocket and Nebula showing a softer side with a nice act (but vehemently denying said act when caught), also I personally head-canon Peter & Mantis as half-siblings so sibling-y dynamics with them (potentially framed against the very different Nebula-Gamora family dynamic) would be amazing! Specific prompts:

• Guardians games night! (including mandatory rule bending, alliances being formed and broken, strange "traditional" games being suggested by Drax, threats of grievous bodily harm and of course completely over-the-top victory celebrations)
• Peter shows the Guardians "cool Earth things", leaving them suitably confused/impressed/irritated ("cool earth things" could include laser tag, outrageous fashion, Deep-South food items or even a celebration such as Valentine's Day)
• "Family holiday" time (how do the Guardians decide where to go? Do they relax by themselves or get roped into "group activities" by Peter? Would particularly love to see a zany planet, with or without altered rules of physics, as their holiday destination)
