FIAB Letter
Aug. 27th, 2023 03:23 pmHello!
If you've read my letters before, you may notice that this isn't my generic letter. In the interest of indulging in the chaos of opting in to all lengths and mediums, I thought it would be appropriate to discuss my links outside of fic. For this reason, I'm giving blanket permission for my works to be used for sequels, recursive works, podfics, and anything else opted into for this exchange.
General Likes
This is a general list of things that I normally enjoy. It is by no means all-inclusive and you're welcome to deviate as long as it doesn't involve my DNWs.
Smut Likes
Fanvids and Fanmixes
Unusual Mediums
General DNW
Non-con or sexual harassment of any kind (CNC and dubious consent, as stated in likes, are fine)
Major character death, especially within the requested pairing
Terminal illness or cognitive degradation
A/B/O, childbirth, or abortion
Any ending other than HEA or HFN for requested ships
Cisgender-swapping (trans and nonbinary headcanons are okay)
Harm of animals or children
First or second POV
Third-party POV, unless voyeurism is a purpose of the fic
Bisexual erasure ("Gay for You" tropes, jumping right to gay/lesbian labels even though character has canonical opposite sex relationships)
Slurs, identity-based bullying (making fun of someone for being gay or Black), using feminization or "girl" as an insult or humiliation tactic
Self-harm or eating disorders
Slut-shaming outside of a consensual sexual situation
Bestiality and/or sex with shifter characters while shifted
Use of AI generation of any kind
No tongue, eye, or teeth mutilation, even if my request involves Xue Yang
Smut DNW
Non-sexual bodily fluids in a sexual context (i.e. no watersports, scat, vomiting, etc)
BDSM that isn't safe, sane, and consensual (under-negotiated is fine, as is safe word use)
Ball gags or gimp masks (improvised gags like a tie pushed into someone's mouth are okay)
Anal sex without prep and lube
Explicit sexual content with characters under 16 (aging them up is fine)
Fandom-Specific DNWs
Shadow & Bone TV/Six of Crows - Wylan's father
Lucifer - No spoilers post-season three. I haven't had time to catch up in AGES and I can't actually remember where I stopped watching.
Knives Out - References to COVID, even if Glass Onion did it first
Tortall with Varice/Numair/Ozorne and Numair/Ozorne - These pairings during or after the events of the Immortals quartet. It's fine to call Numair by that name or to call him Arram, but if it's a canonical timeline/setting, I want his Arram Draper years.
Critical Role - FCG with an actual tongue
Detroit: Become Human - Gavin in any capacity other than a fellow cop
MCU - Character bashing of Team Cap, especially Steve Rogers and Wanda Maximoff. Anything to do with Doctor Strange 2 that isn't America Chavez's existence.
The Bright Sessions - Events of The AM Archives
Stranger Things - Character bashing of Steve, Eddie, or Jonathan. Eddie in a relationship with a woman (especially Hellcheer) just isn't for me. Discussion of Billy's death is fine, but I would prefer not to see him.

This is a general list of things that I normally enjoy. It is by no means all-inclusive and you're welcome to deviate as long as it doesn't involve my DNWs.
- AUs (modern, university, coffee shop, soulmate, human, no magic, etc)
- Fake dating
- Only one bed
- Marriage of convenience
- Woke up married
- Enemies to lovers
- Friends to lovers
- Roommates to lovers
- Pining
- Angry love confessions or any kind of love confession really
- Everyone thinks they're already dating but they're totally oblivious
- Sexuality awakening
- Domesticity
- Possessive behavior (consensual, not stalking)
- Hurt/comfort
- Forced proximity
- Hanahaki as long as there's a positive resolution
- Characters that become entirely unhinged when their loved ones are in danger
- Wingfic
Smut Likes
- Smut with feelings
- Bondage, especially shibari
- Orgasm denial
- Body worship
- Praise kink
- Switching (I very rarely adhere to strict top/bottom dynamics in shipping)
- BDSM (as long as it isn't included on my DNW list)
- Blindfolds
- Consensual non-consent (roleplay) and dubcon (sex pollen, fuck or die, pon farr)
- Dirty talk
- Coming untouched
- Size kink
- Loss of virginity
- Cock warming
- Come marking
- Breeding kink
- Come inflation
- Rimming
- I love fanart in all its many forms so I don't have much to note when it comes to art styles. As long as it isn't depicting my DNWs, I'm going to love it.
- Explicit art
- Fluffy art
- Critical Role-specific note: I prefer the basis to be the official art and not the appearances of the actors (i.e. I want Vax'ildan to look like Vax and not Liam)
Fanvids and Fanmixes
- I love fanvids that match the music they're set to, especially in surprising and heart-wrenching ways
- I'm fine with dialogue voiceover but I prefer for it to be minimal, not overlaid over the lyrics, and meaningful
- My preference is away from videos that are basically a clip-show of two characters with music
- My music tastes are many and varied. The only genres I don't like are EDM and (most) rap. I listen to country, alternative rock, musicals, and 90s/early 00s pop the most. Taylor Swift is literally always fair game. I don't like most new Hozier because I'm still chasing the feeling of "Take Me to Church." Basically, I'll try anything once.
Unusual Mediums
- I can knit and crochet and I would be delighted to receive a pattern for either.
