I Didn't Mean to Fall in Love

Tumblr: SarunoH

Dear Creator,

It's HA time!!! I'm so excited to be embarking on this experience with you and hope my letter can be a space of inspiration for you! I have tried to list multiple prompts for each request where possible to give you the most variety and insight into what I would like to receive. If anything doesn't spark inspiration or you'd prefer to do your own thing, please feel free! My likes may at times be contradictory or super detailed, but regardless, I want this all to be a way of motivating you, not being restrictive.

I'm super excited to see what you come up with! If you have any questions or doubts please don't hesitate to email highadrenalinemod@gmail.com or contact them through Dreamwidth and I'll be happy to provide clarification.

Good luck and may your hands be swift!!

⭐ Recursive fic and fic inspired by my fic/its universe etc. are welcome! ⭐

Dear FIAB Author,

I am thrilled that you've been assigned to write for me and I look forward to reading what you have to write~

This letter has been cannibalized from ones past, but I tried my best to make sure all the info is readable and not too long but still with enough information to hopefully spark some ideas! Feel free to pick and choose whatever works best for you! There's a way to collapse different headers to make the letter more easy to navigate and I did my best to incorporate that here.

Cockwarming
Edging
Size Kink - Top presses on bottom's stomach to find out how deep they've penetrated
Dub-con, non-con
- “Weird how it still feels good, even when you don't consent to it.” (Something one of my requested characters literally said once 👀)
Make-up sex
Free use in a monogamous relationship - partner's holes/mouth/cock are always available for use
Pet names that are plays on the character's name or “darling,” “love,” “fucker,” “bastard,” “whore”
Breeding kink - as dirty talk without risk
- Creampie, they fucked all night, cockwarming, etc.
Male trans for trans (T4T)
- Post-op or not for either party
- PIV sex or pegging is so hot
- Bussy, clit, cock, pussy, boy pussy, hole, cunt, etc. are wonderful
- Top surgery scars 👀
- Gender euphoria moments
Drunk sex
- Buzzed one fucking the brains out of the drunker one enthusiastically encouraging them to continue
- Sloppy kisses and both barely conscious enough to even get close to orgasming
- Finally acting on long-harbored feelings in possibly the worst way by doing it when neither will remember in the morning
Leather
- Zippers, leashes/harnesses, straps, gloves, pants showing off asses/bulge, shiny curves, esp in bondage situations (hogtied, blindfolded, rope bondage or using an article of clothing)
Semi-public/public sex
- Cockwarming and sitting on other's lap at a dinner/party/etc.
- Fingering under a table or standing close in a crowd/bent over something like a pool table/etc.
- Having to stifle moans or thrusting motion, etc.
- Getting caught (Shame or degradation kink? Voyeurism kink)
- Fucking at home but it's on ground floor with the window open
- Third party on Zoom/phone call/etc. overhearing or seeing something
- Similarly: “Easy access”/free use (Aka a character who's down for whatever whenever)
- Character skips underwear (+ is wearing a skirt) and goes to a public outing with partner
- Flashing, suggestive gestures, hiked up clothing, etc.
- Character who needs their partner yesterday
  - Pair this with breeding kink and my brain will explode
Somnophilia
- Between the thighs accidentally leads to penetration
- Receiver wakes up in the middle; honestly ends up having a great time OR pretends they're still asleep so the other keeps going
- Spontaneous or some agreed-upon procedure for when it's ok to fuck (whether that be a certain color underwear, explicit mention of it before going to bed, or just free range completely)
- I like outercourse for this especially (thigh-fucking/humping, frottage, handjobs, blowjobs, etc.) and cockwarming
- I'm fine with noncon and dubcon, so that element of it does not concern me terribly!
Clothing kink
- Sex with one partner fully clothed, the other naked
- Character A is hot and they know it + find deliberate ways to drive B crazy about it
- Wearing someone's clothes after them and the clothes are still warm
- Waking up in the partner's oversized shirt after raucous sex the night prior
- Sock garters, vests, suits, shorts, garter belts, panties, ties, lingerie
- The more expensive the article of clothing, the better
- Lots of touching/reverence for what exposed skin is available or even kissing the aforementioned article of clothing/outfit
- I really love the idea of there being this super expensive article of clothing that Character A wears because they know B will be pissed that they can't tear it off without having to buy A a replacement
- Keeping as much of the outfit on as possible OR a languid striptease until it's just the one article left
- Blowjobs, dirty talk, kisses, hands traveling underneath and around silk and other expensive shit

Dear dreamy,

I'm really excited to be doing this exchange with you! I've run out of time to adjust my letter much, but I have carried some details over from existing letters and done my best to make them fandom-blind friendly. I would recommend you start with the powerpoints if you can, then read requests.

Dear Smutty Scribe,
For this exchange, I decided to keep my previous smut likes list for things I would like in addition to the requested tags for all of my requested fandom and ships—things that I will basically always enjoy! I did not desire to bog down this letter with tons of additional, not-smutty details about the ship, but you can refer to my fandoms/ships requested + exchanges post here to peruse past letters for such details, since all of the below ships are things I have requested in the past.

Any numbered lists aren't indicative of priority; just for my convenience + reference! I'd love to receive any of the things I ask for, whether they're combined or not

Dear AU5k Author,

I am thrilled that you’ve been assigned to write for me and I look forward to reading what you have to write~

This letter has been cannibalized from ones past, which is why there are so many prompts in some places. (They were for longer-form works, but I hope this style of letter can still be helpful to you!) Please don’t feel a need to follow all of my prompts or to shove all of my likes into a fic as I know the list is pretty long. In fact, most sections of this letter are long by design to try and give you as many ideas for feeding into a fic. Feel free to pick and choose whatever works best for you! There’s a way to collapse different headers to make the letter more easy to navigate and I did my best to incorporate that here.

‼️ Some ship sections are untouched from previous letters and so might not be applicable for this exchange, which has existing AUs. But such are the hazards of cannibalising. ‼️

⭐ Recursive fic and fic inspired by my fic/its universe etc. are welcome! ⭐

♥️ Treats accepted! I also have treats turned on ♥️

Dear Author FFFX '24

GDoc Published version of letter

Tumblr: SarunoH

Dear FFFX Author,

Lately, I’ve been really into a lot of BL manga, so I decided not to hold back 😈I am thrilled that you’ve been assigned to write for me and I look forward to reading what you have to write~

Please don’t feel a need to follow all of my prompts or to shove all of my likes into a fic as I know the list is pretty long. In fact, most sections of this letter are long by design to try and give you as many ideas for feeding into a fic. Feel free to pick and choose whatever works best for you! I believe there’s a way to collapse different headers to make the letter more easy to navigate and I did my best to incorporate that here.

This year, I decided to also add some freeform tags at the end of each fandom because I’m still working on being comfortable enough to say explicitly the NSFW things I would like, so they are there (along with some fluffy things, too).

⭐ Recursive fic and fic inspired by my fic/its universe etc. are welcome! ⭐

♥️ Treats accepted! I also have treats turned on ♥️

Thank you again and happy writing!

Requesting:

Yes, No, or Maybe?
I Cannot Reach You
Genshin Impact
Ogi's Summer Break

I am requesting some original works that also work as AUs for existing fandoms and I welcome them to be considered prompts for my other fandoms. Some fandoms have more notes than others but that doesn’t mean I love them any less!

Dear fffx-er,

Hello! This is my first time officially signing up for this exchange. I’m really excited to see what you create and I hope you find something that grabs your interest.

My letters tend to run long, which I suppose is the point, but I hope I at least made it a little easier to navigate with the jump links and everything.

**Non-traditional formats like research papers/analysis/essays, epistolary fic, interviews, documentaries, etc. are welcome. The main thing that will draw me into your story are the characters and prose. I love literary devices like metaphors, symbolism, or imagery. The little details in a fic sell me the most. In non-traditional pieces, that could mean attaching photos, graphs, fancy scripts or footnotes, anything that you want to add. (I’m a slut for a good work skin!)

At the end of the day, if you enjoyed what you wrote, that is what matters most to me. I truly feel that when a person enjoys what they’re writing, it shines through in their fic. I have a lot of ideas of what I will like and I’m pretty easy to please.

Again, thank you, and good luck!

Sax Rohmer #1 - The Mountain Goats (Song)

Favorite lyrics: Every moment leads toward its own sad end

Can we talk about the imagery of this song for a second? Okay. Because I am in utter love with it. I have been in a swashbuckling mood lately and this song just feeds into it even more! The singer’s mentioning coming home and painting all this imagery of him walking through the city but I feel like we’re not getting the whole story. Is the blood metaphorical, or does this mans literally have blood in his mouth? If so, from what? Who is he coming home to? Why is he so determined to come home?

I feel like there’s great potential for world building in this fic alongside fleshing out this singer’s life and his past. I imagine he’s coming home to a lover but it’s obviously left up to your interpretation. Is it someone from his past or someone he visits every day, like on his way home from work? I’m really curious to know how significant it really is that he’s coming home in the story.

Achilles Come Down - Gang of Youths (Song)

Favorite lyrics: Today, of all days, see / How the most dangerous thing is to love / How you will heal and you’ll rise above

I’m pretty ignorant to Greek mythology, but I would adore a fic centered around any original myths with him, or myths integrated into a (possibly more modern?) story! I would love anything from adventurous, romantic, angsty, etc. How did Achilles get so high up in the first place? Why is he refusing to come down? Is this all metaphorical (as I assume it is), or literal? (Which would be quite funny, honestly. Or terrifying, depending on your take.)

I Hear a Symphony - Cody Fry

Favorite lyrics: You took my broken melody / And now I hear a symphony

I absolutely adore this song!! It reminds me of a lot of those “doesn’t see color until they find their soulmate” premises. Meeting the right person is like advancing from a little song to a full symphony. I think this song — and potential fic — would be great fodder for a whole love letter to the person whose presence lights up the singer’s life.

What is it about that person that’s so great, anyway? What are their imperfections, the quirks, the things that make the singer go, “Oh yeah, I’m in love with you”?

feelings are fatal - mxmtoon (Song)

Favorite lyrics: I need to let go and I swear that I’ve tried

This song is extremely relatable yet sad, and I like the gentle, sad tone. I love its message— the resigned sadness of someone who knows it won’t work out (because they won’t even give it a shot!). It really taps into the present-day, especially with everything going on after you-know-what upturned everybody’s lives in 2020.

I’d love to hear more about the emotionally constipated singer and if she ever manages to open up and confess her feelings. How would a confession go, or does she manage to come to terms with her feelings and overcome them?

The Escape - Aoi Teshima (Song)

Favorite lyrics (translated into English): Blow a whistle when you’re feeling happy / No matter how painful, let’s continue singing

A beautiful song for a beautiful movie. Every time I listen to this song, I imagine long summer days with the cicadas chirping and a bunch of kids having fun on their school-free days. I also think about a lot of Ghibli movies and the life of students studying in Japan. I definitely feel like anime has romanticized it for me, what with the neat uniforms, beautiful nature, and walks to school each morning, etc.

I would adore a fic that just squeezed out the essence of this song— freedom, youth, maybe a little recklessness. And it wouldn’t be Ghibli without magic, explorations in nature, or strong female protagonists.

I also would really love a deeper dive into Japanese culture. I’m a sucker for world building (would a real place count for that?) and think it would be so cool to learn more about that culture or get to see it integrated into a fic.

Line Without a Hook - Ricky Montgomery (Song)

Favorite lyrics: I don't really give a damn about the way you touch me / When we're alone

There’s something about this song that just feels so desperate to me and I absolutely adore the heartsick vibes I get from it. He’s obviously in a relationship that’s not going very well and trying to salvage what he can but doing a pretty shoddy job of it.

I really want to know more about this “crying at the lake” scene he mentions; I would adore a full-on fleshing out of that scene. Who is the girl on the other side of these lyrics? Has she really fallen out of love with him and only hurting him more by remaining in a relationship that clearly isn’t benefitting for either of them?

I would love a play-by-play of the lyrics themselves or a more analytical piece about the singer’s thoughts and feelings as the relationship progresses. Could this story end in happiness, or is it doomed for failure and a broken heart? Or perhaps recovery?

Starlight Brigade - TWRP ft. Dan Avidan (Music Video)

Music video link

Favorite lyrics: I’d gladly give my life / For one night as a justice acolyte / Light shines only for the blind

I am absolutely in love with this music video. The music, the characters, the little plot… it’s all so fantastical and fun. The fact that the main protagonist is a cute blue alien meant I fell fast and hard. Anything involving Strive will put the biggest smile on my face.

Altogether, Strive’s universe is an amazing mixture of sci-fi and fantasy elements and I’m really curious to see how those blend together.

I would love anything from a novelization-type situation that does a deeper dive into the events of the music video to a more episodic fic about Strive’s day-to-day life as a member of the Starlight Brigade.

The Wolf - Miniature Tigers (Song)

Favorite lyrics: Love was meant for more

I have to be completely honest with you, but I think this song is, by nature, a very horny song, and I do oh so love it for that. This song is also one of those cases where I zone out while listening to it and never actually parse together what the story of the song is until reading the lyrics for the first time…

I’m really craving something erotic with this song, whether that’s an actual sex scene or a dramatic verbal face-off with the singer’s object of affection. I’m talking jealousy, or anger, or love confessions made at the worst possible time!

How does this guy’s story end? How did he end up in this situation in the first place? Could this be true love, or just the yearning of a hopeless romantic? It’s funny to me that the song’s called “The Wolf,” which would suggest that he’s a playboy, but then the lyrics mention being sick of unrequited love, almost as if he’s sick of holding up the facade of thinking he doesn’t want other people’s affection and actually desires it.

Requesting: Any or No Characters, OC(s), Strive

General likes: Altogether, Strive’s universe is an amazing mixture of sci-fi and fantasy elements and I’m really curious to see how those blend together. I love how the song has one cohesive plot but leaves enough for more stories to emerge from that. You can expand upon the (fandom-named, I think) world of Moebius or resort to more intergalactic adventures with the rest of the Starlight Brigade.

Alien anatomy: What makes Strive and the other Moebian's bodies different from humans? What do those gemstones in the center do?
— NSFW: What kind of equipment does Strive have? Is it the same old human stuff or is there something more alien about it, such as him being intersex, having a higher/lower sex drive, being able to have multiple orgasms/having a short recovery period, etc.? Do these organ(s) self-lubricate, menstruate, or give off a scent?

Culture/Geography/Biology of Moebians:
—   Culture: What do they eat? Do they have any seasonal traditions or customs? (Me being me, what about courting rituals?) What are Strive’s people’s beliefs/faith, if they have any? Any social nuances that could land you in hot water if you say the wrong thing or make the wrong gesture?
—   Geography: How large is this planet? Does it rain? Is it more of a tundra situation, or are there grasslands/forests in other places? What’s the population of Strive’s hometown and are they the only people on this planet, or do they have trade routes with other groups? Does tourism exist?
—   Biology: They bleed purple blood, as evidenced by Strive’s one injury. What’s up with that? Why are their ears so floof? Why is their skin blue, with some characters having two-toned skin (two shades of blue, one lighter)? Do they age like humans, or do they have a Yoda situation where it takes a long time to age?
—   Misc.: How did these people survive on this desolate land? Maybe some creative thinking was at play there. What other races are there in the universe? Is there sunlight here or only the aurora borealis-eqsue lights?

Hookup and dating culture: Does not have to be Strive and an OC. You could also write research-like notes or observations about the culture. (But answers to the following questions by showing some shipping is ofc encouraged.
—   What do you call your partner in their universe?
—   What is their culture’s idea of a perfect date?
—   Is this culture monogamous, polyamorous, or something else/a mix?
—   How do you flirt with someone from Strive’s planet? What’s considered a cute compliment?
Also overlaps somewhat with alien anatomy.
I want to know how someone would not only woo this blue alien, but make love to him, too. We don’t really know Strive’s gender outside of him using he/him pronouns, so who’s not to say there’s a colony of androgynous or nonbinary aliens living their best lives?
Does Strive even know how to have sex or is that not something his culture talks about?

Magic: It looks like a lot of people have gemstones in their chests. Is it some sort of custom to get one then, as we saw Strive do as a child? Are these gemstones somehow connected to the fading light that was recovered?

Space and space crews:
What is it like for Strive as a crewmember on the Starlight Brigade? Does he fit in well with the other members? What is his favorite aspect of it, and the least favorite? I would love to see it from a logistical perspective too, or Strive's typical day on board. Feel free to include as many sciency details as possible about the function of the ship and specific details of missions and space exploration.

Witch Hat Atelier

Requesting: Agott, Any or no Characters, Coco, Olruggio, OC(s), Qifrey, Tetia

General likes: I am obsessed with this fandom. I think Qifrey is the hottest thing since the pizza I had for dinner, and I adore Coco's growing friendship with the other girls. Olruggio/Qifrey is fantastic childhood friends to lovers, which I adore. No matter who the characters, the premise of the wonder of magic and imagination as a driving factor is fantastic. I think there's so much chilkdlike wonder in that, which makes me very happy. I love seeing characters like Olruggio still creating and doing new things with magic.

Contraptions used in Everyday life: We saw a bit of this with Coco at the beginning but I would love to see more. I wonder how dramatically different a normal person living in that universe is compared to ours. What little things might we overlook? How many of Olruggio's contraptions do we see in everyday life, aside other well-known witches?

Creation/Existence of The Great Hall: I just think it's cool. I wonder who thought it would be a good idea to put it underwater. Granted it's a wise decision, but still. Maybe the witch in question really liked water? How much of a pain was it to make it?

Disability and Accessibility: We have seen at least two contraptions to help those who can't walk, but what other tools and resources are there? Tartah found a spell that could help him identify plants without needing to see color. What other things might be useful?

Exploring Forbidden Magic before the Pact: What was healing magic like? In what ways could it pose a danger to people and can you provide an example? Where was the turning point where witches decided to create a pact and end forbidden magic forever? Was there an inciting incident that caused it?

The Day in The Life of an Apprentice in the Great Hall: Either from the perspective of an OC or someone from the story— anybody will do. But I have the most interest in Agott, Qifrey, or Olruggio. I would absolutely love a pre-canon fic of Qifrey arriving in the Great Hall. What are his thoughts? How badly does he hate it there? (Especially given it's underwater. I would adore a Qifrey rant about hating being underwater while Olruggio listens.)

Howl’s Moving Castle

Requesting: Any or No Characters, Howl Pendragon, Markl, OC(s), Original Character(s), Sophie Hatter

General likes: I love Howl with a passion that burns just as brightly as Calcifer. Of all Studio Ghibli movies, this one is my favorite. My favorite parts of the movie are Sophie watching child Howl capture Calcifer and that time Sophie woke in the middle of the night and visited Howl in the cave stuffed with trinkets. (A gif of that scene is here, accompanied by the song “Cave of Mind.”) My other favorite scenes were those of mystery, action, and dramaticism. (Explains why I like Howl so much, huh?) I love scenes where you think, “this can’t possibly get any worse!” And then it does.

Demons: When watching Howl capture Calcifer out in that flower field at night, I wondered, "is that really what a demon looks like?" They look so cool! Like little stick people, or something you'd find on an ancient hieroglyph. People in their universe are afraid of demons, but I'm not sure we ever really see any bad ones, unless the Witch of the Waste's henchmen count. I'd love to see more exploration of other demons beside Calcifer. (Does Calcifer have any friends?)

How to become a Wizard or Witch: Pre-canon Howl training how to become a wizard would be my favorite thing. But really anybody is fine. Is there a training manual for how to train a wizard or witch, or does it depend on a tutor? What was Howl's tutor like?

Magic Spells and Procedures: What does it take to cast a spell? Do you need certain components or are you just able to cast it whenever? Does it depend? Do you need a spellbook? Howl removed a sigil from his desk once and that required just his palm. How powerful is Howl, really? And does that affect how much magic he can cast (and how easily?)

Magical Creatures: This overlaps slightly with demons but I am also interested in other cursed people or objects like Turnip Head. In the books, I've heard Sophie can create living things by… talking life into them? Something like that. What would that look like in the movie? Did she talk life into Turnip Head?

Shadow of the Colossus

Requesting: Agro, Any or No Characters, Mono, OC(s), Wander

General likes: The overall vibe of the video game is wonderful, and I appreciate the mystery of Wander and Mono's relationship. (Spoilers: I like it shippy, but platonic or siblings/sibling-like are fine, too.) I am interested in seeing pre-canon of what leads up to the events of the game. But there are probably more answers to be revealed by Mono post-canon if you wished.

Creation/Origin of Dormin: Who are they? Why are they sealed away by the colossi, and why does it look like the Forbidden Lands were once a place that civilization existed?

Exploring Culture of Mono's and Wander's Past Home: All we know is that the Shaman wears a mask over his face and they have markings on their clothing. I would like to see whether they live in a village, with huts, or tents, or whatever. What are the people like there? What is daily life like? Do they have a god they pray to or what?

Hookup and Dating Culture: How do you show someone you like them? What is a nice compliment to give or receive? Are marriages arranged, or do you choose who you want to spend your life with? Is pre-marital sex allowed?

Magic: Is Dormin magical? How does the Ancient Sword work, alongside any other magical tools Wander finds?

Pokémon (All Media Types)

Requesting: Any or no characters, Bounsweet, Ho-Oh, Ditto, Cursola, OC(s), Zoroark

Endangered and dying out species: Which Pokémon would qualify, and is there a metric for determining what is endangered? How? What is being done to preserve these Pokémon, if anything? If a trainer catches one (assuming they are allowed to catch and own one without it being illegal), is it a point of bragging or looked down upon?

Pokémon edible to humans: What Pokémon are considered cultural delicacies, and what Pokémon is the equivalent of fruit cake that you would feed to someone you hate? Are there any Pokémon you have to prepare carefully, so as to not accidentally poison somebody? Which ones taste the best? I'm curious to know how culturally acceptable it is to eat Pokémon and if there are any people who are staunchly against it.

Pokémon training as an expected cultural tradition: I think getting to see this develop over the years could be interesting. With Pokémon Arceus coming out soon, we see that Pokémon training has not always been a thing but developed over time. I'd like to see that development or that expectation of a child to make something of themselves by becoming a trainer. (And what it looks like for people to fall out of it as they age or make it a profession. It must feel pretty sucky to be beaten by a 13-year-old.)

Dragon Quest XI

Requesting: Any or No Characters, Erik, Hendrik, Eleven/Luminary, Jasper, OC(s), Sylvando

Geography and cartography: It is quite possible I would cry literal tears if someone drew or re-worked the Erdrean map to make more sense. I would love to have some notes or analysis on how long it would reasonably take to travel from one point to another, such as from Heliodor to Cobblestone or Heliodor to Gallopolis, etc.

My main problem with the map is how linear it is compared to Dragon Quest 9. (And also how the area map/HUD map is different than the world map whereas in DQ 9 they are the same.) There are whole sections of the map that we cannot access, such as the area behind and to the east of Heliodor, northern Yggdrasil, and most mountain ranges. I would love a fic exploring new places in Heliodor (extra points for punny town names.)

Cobblestonian traditions: We know that when you become of age (16 in the game), you climb the Tor. But are there any other traditions, perhaps pulled from real-world cultures, that people in Cobblestone celebrate? What is life like in Cobblestone? Do they travel out of the village, or only stay inside?

International relationships and politics: Does trade exist? What are the relationships between all the kingdoms like? I feel like the game could have done a much better job on this part. Frysabel seems mostly absent from things until later in the game and the Sultan doesn't seem all that worried. A pre-canon, post-canon, or canon-divergent fic (Prince Eleven, hellooo!!) would be amazing. Especially if we get to explore these relationships in a very dramatized, high tension, high stakes sort of way.

Languages and Linguistics: Realistically, given that each kingdom is based on a different culture, each one should have its own language, too. A fic exploring each person's given language based on culture and trying to communicate across those boundaries would be awesome. I am also now realizing it would be hilarious if there were some DQ-specific turns of phrase created based off certain monsters or puns. Also, two words: Cockney dialect. All Dragon Quest games love their Cockney and I love seeing it. Honestly, a guide on its usage or recording of its use in-game would be great.

NPC perspective of game events: Of particular interest are people doing anything during and after the fall of the world tree, Eleven's horse race in Gallopolis, the dancing spell that overtook Phnom Nonh, and life in the Last Bastion. I can't actually think of any scene I wouldn't like to see written, however. I would also love to see what life is like in the girl's academy (pre-canon of Jade's mom or anybody, really, is welcome.)

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity (Uncategorized Fandom)

Requesting: Any or No Characters, Any Champion(s), OC(s), Daruk, Link, Mipha, Revali, Terrako, Urbosa, Zelda (Bolded is actually requested. The rest is the full list since I included "any characters" and thought having the list handy would help.)

General likes: I really enjoyed getting to see the Champions in all their glory, fighting and succeeding against Calamity Ganon. Again, I have a super soft spot for Link, and I love him most as a selectively or completely mute character. I surprised myself with how strongly I fell in love with Terrako, Mipha & Daruk, and Link & Zelda. (Also Zelda and Terrako. That backstory made me cry.)

Ancient technology: I wish we could have seen more from Purah's perspective about working with the ancient Sheikah slate technology and how it all connects. I want to know where Terrako came from and who might have first assembled it before Zelda re-assembled it. I also welcome any theories or thoughts about the Sheikah slate and other technologies!

Divine Beasts: Who the heck thought these things were a good idea? Because they were, but I'm still curious how they came to be in the first place. That, or I'd just like to see them hang out post-canon. I would have liked to see the Champions actually piloting them too instead of just standing on top of them, but we can't always get what we want.

Gerudo culture: I can only assume life is better without any men around, but I also have to assume that living in the middle of the desert presents a lot of challenges. How do the Gerudo handle those obstacles? How have they had to adapt, and what is their day-to-day life like?

Goron culture: Bless the Hylian knight who tries his best to join in on rock-eating, but I think he ought to leave it to the Gorons. They're a pretty rugged crew but still awesome for living in Death Mountain and all. I would love fic of Link vacationing there, or even something simpler about life in their village.

Lizalfos Society: There was some discussion about this in the discord server Exchanges-After-Dark a while ago, and while I don't want to rip off someone else's prompts, I, too, am intrigued by the concept of Lizalfos who not only create their own custom-fitting armor and weapons, but run a whole underground society somewhere. How else do they create tools that fit their needs so perfectly? Are there blacksmiths? Magic? Trading? I don't know. But I'm curious.

Rito culture: Of all the races(?) in BOTW/Age of Calamity, I know the least about the Rito. I think it's badass they fly and fire arrows, but other than that, I'd love to learn more about them. How birdlike are we really talking here? What does their diet consist of? Aren't the babies incredibly cute?

Zora culture: So many of the Zora recognized Link when he visited again in BOTW and it made me feel sad, given his amnesia and everything. I think it's really interesting how the Zora can live so long. They seem really friendly, but I wonder if they get out much or if the monsters keep them pretty secluded. What do the Zora even do for fun?

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Video Game)

Requesting: Any or No Characters, OC(s), Hylia, Link, Any Monk, Prince Sidon, Zelda

General likes: I love the atmosphere of BOTW and I have a soft spot for Link in particular. I do love me some selectively or completely mute Link who is still a quirky, reckless, sword-swinging prodigy. I'm still new to the Zelda games as a whole, and, um, still haven't beat one myself, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating their grand stories and admiring the interconnected cultures and characters that make BOTW a classic.

Ancient Sheikah Civilization: The monks are really the only sign we have of what ancient Shiekah civilization was like alongside the leftover pieces of technology, but I watched a video about Maz Koshia and found the relationship between the Yiga clan and Sheikah pretty interesting. The Sheikah are so mysterious! I would love to learn more! Either a day in the life sort of story, journal entries, or anything else you can come up with would be cool.

Food: What does monster meat taste like? Is Link a good cook? What sort of spices do they use, and are they readily available or hard to come by depending on where you are in Hyrule? Just like irl cultures, I would love to know what foods are staples to each area, from Daruk to Zora.

Religion: Hylia is the main goddess in the game, but I know (vaguely) that in other games, there have been the golden goddesses, each assigned to a different piece of the triforce. I'd like to see what sort of rituals or traditions people follow religion-wise. Is there a scripture, or is it less prominent in their lives that way?

Technology: Either exploring the ancient Sheikah technology or present-day Hyrule. How has it been developed to where it is today? How useful is it day-to-day? How is it continuing to develop in new or interesting ways, and is there a way to improve it?

Zora culture: So many of the Zora recognized Link when he visited again in BOTW and it made me feel sad, given his amnesia and everything. I think it's really interesting how the Zora can live so long. They seem really friendly, but I wonder if they get out much or if the monsters keep them pretty secluded. What do the Zora even do for fun?

Thank you for reading! ❤

Hello! If you are here it means you are interested in writing smut for me. I am flattered. This list used to be shorter, but I decided to go a little ham. I hope that's okay.
The only things I would say I don't like all that much are the words "pussy" or "cunt." "Cock," "cum/come," etc. are fine. M/M pairings are my favorite, but if you're confident in writing a different arrangement, then go for it!

Smut likes:
- Consensual sex (either explicit or implicit through the character interactions and tone)

- First time

· First-timer paired with an experienced partner (extra points if the experienced one is very soft/doting)

- Desperation/begging/enthusiasm
- Non-penetrative sex/outercourse

· Frot 💯*

· Hand jobs

· Dry humping

· Intercrural sex

· Intergluteal sex

· Mutual masturbation

- Anal sex
- Handjobs
- Anal fingering
- Prostate massages
- Vaginal fingering
- PIV sex (missionary is the best!)

- Subverting expectations on which character is into what — primarily, the smaller, “daintier” of the two tops; the innocent-looking one is kinkier; or a character being an unexpected virgin

Slightly(?) kinkier things:
- Hair pulling
- Phone sex
- Coming untouched
- Clothing kink (sexy suits, "keep the __" on during sex, crossdressing, leather, men in lace/dresses)
- Character with a praise kink
- Light, consensual BDSM (knifeplay or ropes)

*Frot, aka: rubbing penises together, which can be different than frottage. (Which is fine too, for the record)
