Things I Enjoy
- Exploration of identity and memories
- Explorations of close and/or complicated emotional relationships between the character/s I requested.
- Adventures! I adore casefic, if you're able to write it.
- Flawed characters being poorly equipped to struggle against the world and do it anyway.
- "slice of life" stories that explore the world and the characters.
- Hurt/Comfort, especially when a character tries to struggle through and is surprised that other people are Not Okay With Any Of This
- Isolated characters being surprised by interpersonal connections
- Psychological horror, especially when it comes to people being controlled either subtly or overtly by an outside force.
- Down time where characters can deal with (or avoid thinking like the plague) all the terrible things that are happening to them.
- Characters who use flippancy or sarcasm to poorly hide how Not Okay everything is, only for this mask to crack.
- Things going terribly, terribly wrong.
Things I Don't Want
- Porn
- AUs (except for canon divergence)
- Pregnancy fics and omegaverse.
- Second-person fic (nothing personal! I just find it hard to parse).
- Retelling of canon scenes from a different perspective unless it is very different and part of a much larger story.
- Introspective character studies that take place solely inside a character's head with no interaction with another person. (Characters interacting with the entity they are sharing a body with are not part of this unless the other entity has no consciousness at all.)

Do Not Wants: detailed depictions of depression and alcoholism | a story being in both first person and present tense | unrequested non-canonical pairings for canon characters | non-Canon Divergence AUs (coffeeshop, space, A/B/O, etc.) | character/relationship studies
I absolutely, completely adore Lucas Hood, warts and all – well, I especially love the metaphorical warts. So, I’m interested in just about any fic that digs into any of his canon relationships (whether the het ones, or the gen ones such as the ones with his daughter, his friends and his fellow cops). As for plots: I’d love something that has him trying to pull off a heist and getting into trouble, or him not being able to fully shake off his cop persona post-canon and that getting him into trouble. Or an AU where Siobhan doesn’t die – however you think that might work out – or him returning to Banshee for reasons (it would probably be something to do with Carrie, wouldn’t it?).
But generally, you know, just more of Lucas Hood in whatever way you think you can make work the best!

Do Not Wants: detailed depictions of depression and alcoholism | a story being in both first person and present tense | unrequested non-canonical pairings for canon characters | non-Canon Divergence AUs (coffeeshop, space, A/B/O, etc.) | character/relationship studies | an AU where Philo has wings
For all these requests, I’d be happy about worldbuilding/focus on the fantasy aspect of the canon. I really liked what we got to see of the worldbuilding, and I’m always happy to see the gaps filled in this fandom, especially with a focus on the different types of creatures, Philo’s hybrid biology or national and international politics. OCs are super welcome for all of these requests, by the way!

Do Not Wants: detailed depictions of depression and alcoholism | a story being in both first person and present tense | unrequested non-canonical pairings for canon characters | non-Canon Divergence AUs (coffeeshop, space, A/B/O, etc.) | character/relationship studies
I really loved these two and their complicated dynamic in canon, and how they didn’t stop loving each other when they were on different sides and always kind of had the other as a major priority, so I was pretty sad we only got two seasons of them in an ensemble show.
So, as the above implies, I’m mostly interested in established relationship dynamics with these two. For example: canon-style plot where they save some mutants, a situation where Lorna and the others have to save Marcos from the police for a change, futurefic about how the whole situation will pan out and how they live ten years down the line, them parenting Dawn with all their individual hangups, slice of life of what it is to be in a relationship (either pre-canon or post-canon) while you’re on the run.
I’m not really that familiar with X-Men stuff on the whole, so references to the comics and some other parts would completely fly over my head.

I want all the canon divergence AUs, from “what if they had been forced to get married when they were arranged to” to Zhiwei not dying and Ning Yi retiring to be with her (and everything in between), or just a scene from any of those AUs (or, say, a mystery/procedural plot set in one of those AUs). Of course, more missing scene shippiness is also welcome, as is exploring the world some more with the two of them.

Something I’d like for this fandom in general, combined with all prompts: character death fix-its for more or less anyone: Soo-ho, of course, but also Gyeok-chan, Eun-cheol, Yeong-u or even Man-dong, if you think it would make for a better story!

(more explanation can be found in the letter) | character/relationship studies
I really loved their relationship in the series, so I basically mostly want more of them being cute, dorky and sweet together. How does Jung-rok adjust to openly dating a star? How about a date that gets interrupted by fans/work? Holiday fic (the holiday doesn’t have to be remotely seasonal)? Or another one of those misunderstandings that gets resolved without much drama once they communicate with each other? We didn’t get to meet Yoon-seo’s family – something exploring that angle?
