ic·tus

Dear Yuletide Writer,


It's that time again! I'm very excited for Yuletide this year, and am looking forward to receiving fic for some of my rarer canons. I'm ictus on AO3—thank you for considering writing for me!

Dear RMSE Writer,


Thank you so much for considering writing for me! I'm ictus on AO3. I love my rare ships and I'm always so excited when I find someone who loves them as much as I do--hopefully that person is you! All of my requests are for fic.

Hello potential creator/curious onlooker,


I'm ictus on AO3. Below is a list of general likes and dislikes that are fairly consistent across exchanges. None of my likes are binding, so if you have a story or concept in mind then I'm more than happy for you to go with that, and I encourage you to play to your strengths. This is just to give you an idea of the sort of tropes and kinks I gravitate towards:

General Likes: Missing scene fic, pre- or post-canon fic, canon-divergent AUs (especially for comic books where canon is a mess anyway), character studies, introspective fic—basically anything that gives more depth to these characters or expands on canon in a thoughtful way. I love exploring tension, conflict, and angsty interpersonal dynamics, and I'm fine with open endings or not having these conflicts completely resolved. I love femslash and slash, so feel free to explore shippy undertones if that speaks to you; I love UST and first time fic especially, and PWPs are welcome. I'm a fan of 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, grooming (hair cuts, shaving) and bathing as a prelude to sex, massage turns sexual.

I'm also 100% down with straight-up vanilla sex, so don't feel that you have to include kink! I don't have top/bottom preferences and I like all kinds of sex acts, including non-penetrative sex (oral, fingering, hand jobs, rimming, frottage, intercrural, etc.).

Do Not Wants:

• scat, watersports, pregnancy, kidfic
• underage sexual content (under 17), 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, background M/F ships (references to canon M/F ships are okay)

Thank you for considering creating for me! You're always welcome to contact me through the mods if you have any questions.

Dear FAD writer,


Firstly, thank you for considering writing for me! I'm 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!
