Firstly, thank you for considering writing for me! I'm![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
ictus on AO3. Femslash After Dark was the first exchange I ever participated in, and I've been looking forward to revisiting it ever since. I'm a huge fan of smut and darker themes in femslash works, and I'm sure I'll love your gift!
General
General Likes: Fics that are plotty or character-driven, preferably canon compliant or canon divergent. With that said, I'd be equally thrilled to receive something that focuses exclusively on a relationship, including PWPs. As far as tropes go, I like UST, mutual pining, slowburn, enemies/rivals to friends to lovers and permutations thereof, identity porn, undercover, fake dating, hurt/comfort. I also love non-linear and non-conventional narrative styles so if you feel like getting experimental, I'm here for it!
Smut Likes: Orgasm denial/desperation, breathplay, blindfolds, toys, somnophilia/drugged sex, semi-public sex (alleys, rooftops), restraints, power dynamics, praise kink, biting/marking, exhibitionism/voyeurism, knifeplay, crying due to overstimulation, wax play, sex pollen, scar worship, hatesex, comfort sex. I'm also 100% down with straight-up vanilla sex, so don't feel that you have to include kink!
DNWs:
• scat, watersports, pregnancy
• underage, noncon (dubcon is okay)
• AUs set outside of canon, 1st person POV (2nd person is okay)
• sexuality angst, internalised homophobia, unrequested identity headcanons
• requested characters in het, inclusion of background M/F ships (references to canon M/F ships are fine but I would prefer that they don't feature heavily)
On that note, I'm a multishipper with no actual NOTPs, so if you wanted to include secondary pairings that I haven't requested then that's absolutely fine, just as long as they're M/M or F/F.
Fandom-Specific Prompts
Please note that these are all completely optional; if you already have a story in mind that fits in with my general likes and avoids my DNWs, then go for it! However I'm including a few prompts below as I know some writers prefer to have something more to go off.
DCU (Comics)
Barbara Gordon/Kate Kane: Babs and Kate are cut from the same cloth, they're both so sharp and self-assured, and I would love to read a story about how they got together as a couple and/or how they started working together in the field. I really like the idea of Kate joining the Birds of Prey and learning how to work in a team lead by Oracle. Or, if you wanted to go with a more recent continuity, a Batwoman/Batgirl dynamic would be really interesting.
Kate Kane/Renee Montoya: This is another pairing that I adore across all continuities and at any stage of their relationship, and I absolutely love their dynamic. First time, established relationship, breaking up and getting back together—wherever they're at in their relationship, I'm here for it. Any fic that involves external events putting stress and strain on their relationship and causing conflict between them is always going to be a winner for me, particularly if it involves some sort of "betray her to save her" aspect and one being overprotective to the other's detriment.
Kate Kane/Safiyah Sohail, Kate Kane/Tahani | The Knife (DCU Comics), Safiyah Sohail/Tahani | The Knife (DCU Comics): I cannot even begin to describe how thrilled I was when someone nominated these pairings! I loved the Batwoman (2017) run so much, and I'm 100% here for any and all combinations and permutations of these three women. There is such a glorious push-pull between all three of them, and these are three incredibly formidable women so it plays out beautifully. With these pairings, I'm more than happy for you to take it as dark as you'd like, leaning into the themes of jealousy, possessiveness and revenge. I'd love a fic that delves into their lives together on Coryana, but I'm more than happy for pre- or post-canon fic too.
Gotham (TV)
Tabitha Galavan/Barbara Kean: I love how much these two have changed over the course of the series and how their relationship has evolved. I'm happy for you to pick any point in the series; like in season two when they were first getting together, or later in the series as their relationship gets more fraught. Also it's pretty much canon that these two would be into some pretty kinky stuff, so feel free to explore this as much as you'd like. They've also turned on each other more than once, so a darker, angstier fic would also be amazing. I'm more than happy for you to disregard s05e01 and write canon-divergent fic of these two ruling No Man's Land (in fact, that would be a dream!).
Inception (2010)
Ariadne/Mal Cobb: I recently revisited this film and I can't quite shake the idea of just how frightening Mal was, and how she affected Ariadne so strongly from the moment they first met. Mal may be dead, but there's no way Ariadne will be forgetting her anytime soon. I'd love a story set either during or post-canon where Mal continues to haunt Ariadne and appear in her dreams. I'd be really happy for you to lean into the mindfuck aspects of this canon, with the blurring of the lines between dreams and reality, and I give you free rein to take their relationship dynamic as dark as you'd like.
Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
Gaila/Nyota Uhura: I'm really into the idea of these two rooming together at the academy. Uhura is undoubtedly well-educated in alien customs, but how does that prepare you for actually having an Orion roommate? Especially one that has little understanding of human social norms? I love the thought of Uhura who's usually so level-headed getting flustered by her incredibly hot roommate who seems to think that clothing's optional.
Thanks again and please don't hesitate to contact me through the mods if you have any questions!
