Dear PurimGifts Author:
Jan. 11th, 2019 11:24 pmI'm sorry this is late, though I also know that for this exchange it is less relevant than for some others. I've copy-pasted my most-recent Likes/DNWs and NSFW ones.
Do Not Wants: graphic gore or torture, breath-play, lifestyle/hardcore BDSM, permanent injury related to sexual activity, noncon, unrequested dubcon, unrequested total-setting-change AUs, how-this-ship-is-so-much-better-than-a-canon/other-one-post-break-up-fic, misogyny/other bigotry
General Likes: hurt/comfort; canon-typical violence; casefic/monster-of-the-week stories; epistolary/journal/log fiction; canon-divergent AU; missing scenes; survival (wilderness, zombie apocalypse, etc.); facing and evading consequences; last stands and long goodbyes; found family; killing / getting revenge against abusers
I like gen or pre-ship/UST fics a lot, but I also welcome smut fics unless I note that I don't want them in a specific fandom. I do prefer a little bit of plot-flavor seasoning with my smut, but it can be just a framing device for how/why/when and as thin as you want if you go this route.
NSFW Likes: hurt/comfort (again); first-times (together or ever); wound-care turns intimate but NOT wound-fucking pls, very LIGHT blood-play if any; ritualistic sex | The Old Ones Made Them Do It, etc.; dealing with the aftermath of Aliens Made Them Do It as it pertains to dubcon even if they kinda liked it; morning after; I-almost-lost-you-and-I-can't-stand-it sex; Covered-in-the-blood-of-our-enemies sex; Awkward-cute-playful sex; Improvisational light-bondage / powerplay / orgasm tease/denial-play / soft BDSM if it makes sense for the characters; In-character sex, whatever that seems to be for the people in question
Now I'll go through each of my exchange requests and name which ladies I like best and ships I care about if any. Obviously, you're allowed to do whatever you want that fits within the purview of the exchange's rules, and I was careful to pick things where I liked anyone who might qualify. To my recollection, there aren't any canon-explicit Jewish characters in the narratives I've chosen, but I'd be happy with any fic about that aspect of this exchange that you find tasteful and appropriate, too.
Fate/stay night - All Media Types
I like any of the girls, magi and Heroic Spirit alike. I would like any Illya narrative to not focus on any of her token loli stuff, but I like her as a person. Rin, Sakura, and Saber are all good. The other female Servants I'm less invested in, but I could easily be persuaded to care. Supporting female character narratives would be neat, too. Ships I care about, if you want to include any, are Rin/Shirou, Rin/Shirou/Saber, Sakura/Illya (only IF Illya gets to age up to a point where it seems not-loli-esque), Gilgamesh/Saber, Sakura/Gilgamesh. You may include unrequested ships if you like, but I'm not a big fan of Sakura/Shirou as lovers - friends yes, please.
Fate/Zero
Again, like any of the girls whether Heroic Spirit of magi. There are fewer ladies in Zero, and they need all the support they can get. Fate/Zero is a very tragic tale, so if you go with angst fic I wouldn't be surprised. If you wanted to make it happier, though, a la some of the more lighthearted spin-off material for FSN, I wouldn't complain. If you want to include any ships, those that intrigue me are Kiritsugu/Irisviel, Irisviel/Saber, and Gilgamesh/Saber. I don't especially care for Waver/Iskandar as a romantic thing even if it is sort of queer platonic, though I doubt that it would come up given the parameters of the exchange.
Doctor Who
I am only familiar with 2005-Present Doctor Who except some of the Master-related media. You are free to include anything you like, but as far as it landing well that is what I have a point of reference for! I am vaguely familiar with lore, but that's it. My favorite companion so far of all has been Clara Oswald. However, I got into the fandom when it was in the space between Rose's departure and the premiere of S3 in 2007. As a result, I became a quick-defender of any and all of the companions! I have not actually seen Thirteen in action yet, because I got a bit behind, but I would be happy to see anything you did with her. Seriously, though, any of the female companions of recent years would make me happy. If you want to include ships, ships I like are Doctor/Rose, Doctor/Missy, Clara/Danny, Clara/Lady | Mayor Me, Amy/Rory, Doctor/River.
Agents of SHIELD
I just recently got back into AOS, and as such I have only seen through most of S2. However, I'm pretty thoroughly self-spoiled, and S4's existence is what tempted me back into the fold to begin with. I like stories about atonement for his show, not just with regard to anything that touches on Ward but especially with regard to him. Redemption arcs that actually involve work and repentance would appeal to me. Ward isn't the only one with something to disavow in order to get better, though. I have a slight bias towards Skye | Daisy Johnson, but I love any and all of the girls. If you want to include ships, I like SkyeWard, FitzSimmons, and Coulson/May. Any other canon ships are welcome, too, though, as would Skimmons be.
Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
I was one who was pretty "well, that was okay," at TFA but fell in love with TLJ. However you fell on that divide, though, I do like either source for inspiration. I am into Reylo and redemption stories. I like the whole balancing narrative. However, I would also be here for a Rey-centric story, a story about Rey and Leia having a mother/daughter sort of bond, a story about Finn/Rose or Finn/Rose/Poe, or a story about Rey and Finn being BFFs with maybe a hint of romantic confusion. Political / Philosophical or Character-Driven stories would be equally enjoyed especially here.
