General Likes:

While the freeforms are appreciated, you don’t need to use all of them - or even most of them! The prompts are suggestions, but if you get a better idea by all means, please follow that idea!

- Fairy tale motifs, biblical (as in Tanakh and Torah) motifs, mythological motifs in general. People turned into animals, riddles, things not being what they seem, things falling into patterns that we can recognize, even if it takes a little bit of time. Princesses and monsters and giants and talking animals, having to go on a journey but coming back.

- Characters bonding over domestic things (especially cooking/baking/grocery shopping/other things to do with food), characters arguing over domestic things, characters making up with each other with domestic things. People doing each other’s laundry as a sign of affection, people making food for each other as a sign of affection, or to show their annoyance, but they love them anyway.

- Transformation, especially wings/extra arms. Preferably with some horror, but not too much of the “snapping of bones” variety. “My body isn’t mine anymore/my body has changed” but not the visceral gooey bits of it, more the existential threat.

- Themes of things repeating, traditions, “we’ve done this before, but let’s try it again anyway, to see what works.”

- Casual genderfuckery - guys in skirts and girls in suits, and nobody cares, apart from possibly finding that particular person hot. No deep rumination on gender, just comfort in playing with it.

- People saying the wrong thing, then trying to fix it, and all parties not being perfect, but more or less muddling through. Characters reconciling after a long time apart.

- Little moments captured at certain times of day - late night cups of tea at the dinner table, watching the sunset while walking down the street, the quiet moment in a kitchen while a party is going on outside.

- Skin hungry characters finally being “fed” with platonic, romantic, or sexual touch.

- Long, meandering, organic conversations that go on tangents.

- Characters who are bad at being emotionally sincere trying very hard to do so.

- People at the beach - warm sand, the sun beating down, the quiet when it gets late, ice cream and sandwiches while sitting under a beach umbrella.

- Inclement weather. Snow, rain, thunderstorms. Characters getting caught up in it, characters taking shelter from it, characters getting ready to go out in it. I love the way the weather can set the scene.

- Isolation, real or imagined. The way an apartment late at night can feel like an island of light in the middle of a vast ocean, or being on an actual small boat on a vast ocean. Isolated cabins in the mountains, beach houses late at night, empty streets at the very end of the day. That sweet desolation you feel, looking over an empty space and it’s just you and the one you love.

- Places with personality. Old houses with a lot of rooms, towns that have history, forests that love you and also kind of want to eat you, the ocean that will tell you its secrets as it swallows you up.

- Pining that’s trying to be subtle but isn’t. People in denial about their own feelings, then giving in to them in private. People being embarrassed and happy and sad and complicated at being in love, platonically or romantically or in ways that even they aren’t sure about.

- Daemon AUs. Please give me all the people with their souls on the outside of their bodies as animals. People with daemons that make total sense, people with daemons that make everyone double take, daemons that are small enough to hide in someone’s sleeve, daemons that are big enough to lean on. Furry daemons that you can run your fingers through, daemons with fur that whispers against the skin. The intensity of someone else touching your daemon, or the intimacy of touching someone else’s.

- Non-monogamy. People loving each other deeply and hard in different ways. People understanding that you can’t be everything to one person, or people learning to understand it. People doing their relationships in the “wrong” order, but finding happiness. People not realizing they’re in love with multiple people and sorting it out, or finding the delight in it. Even if the focus is on two particular characters, background mentions of other lovers, knowing that there's always more behind the scenes.

Holidays & traditions, human ones or otherwise. Chocolates in heart shaped boxes on Valentines Day, latkes on Hannukah, people sharing the things that make them happy, and creating new ones. Blending traditions together, or clashing over how to make them work, but making them work.

Dark Likes

I really love escalation. The good ol’ boiling frog principle. Starting with something completely reasonable (or “completely reasonable”) and escalating, until the victim isn’t entirely sure what’s going on or how they go there, but they can’t get out.

I love creeps. People getting away with things they shouldn’t - wandering hands, wandering eyes. Fingers sliding under shirts, into pants. Covert grinding, copping feels while holding normal conversation, or under blankets. Hands up skirts, slipping into underwear, hair smelling, all the creepy groping you can imagine. Boundary pushing - "I just wanna see 'em" leading to "just the tip" to "sorry, wrong hole" sorts of escalation. Accidental touches that aren't accidental that keep going that much farther.

I really, really love characters with good intentions doing bad things for the “right” reasons. “I’m hurting you because I love you and it’ll help you”, “I’m taking away your privileges because I want you to be safe,” “we both know you’ll be happier if I make this decision,” that kind of thing. Never out of malice, never out of anger, but out of a genuine belief that they’re doing the right thing. This can tie into ABDL stuff, where someone is babied because they can’t be trusted to take care of themselves, There’s a lot of “this is for your own good, sweetheart” condescension.

With forced infantilism specifically, I really love it when the victim doesn’t realize that they’re losing all of their “special privileges” like not wetting the bed or being able to choose their own clothes or not spill all over themselves. All for the baby’s own good, and the Big’s own enjoyment. They want their baby to be happy, that’s all! Encouraging (or “encouraging”) someone to be Little, by dressing them a certain way, feeding them certain foods, not letting them use the bathroom.

Forced pleasure. Victims who aren’t sure if they liked it or not, especially when they’re being mind controlled to like it, but they’ve got some kind of an inkling that maybe they don’t. Tenderness mixed in. Forehead kisses, cuddles, hair stroking. Affection that’s tinged with danger and disgust on the victim’s part.

Smut Likes

- Face touching/holding, hand touching/holding. Sucking on fingers, shoving fingers into mouths, palms against cheeks, tracing someone’s profile with the tip of a finger, thumbs pressed into dimples.

- Focus on mouths - cunnilingus, sucking dick, sucking on toes, leaving hickeys. Biting, especially in unexpected places (faces, calves). Long, deep kisses, the kind of making out that leaves the head spinning.

- Awkward, first time sex, whether for the first time ever or the first time with another person or with this particular person. Two people who aren’t necessarily good at it, but enthusiastic. Fumbling first time masturbation, first kisses that start out spitty and end up toe curlingly good.

- Wingkink, extra limbs. Inhuman bodies being explored by the original body’s owners, or else by someone else who wants to explore them. Especially when it's angelic - multiple faces, fiery wings, things like that.

- Moments of sweetness in sadism, moments of sadism in sweetness. A kiss on the cheek before slapping the face, fingernails raking down someone’s thighs as you suck on their clit.

- Silliness/jokes while sex is happening, especially when it’s lampshaded. Sex is weird and funny, so why not laugh about it?

- Clothes sharing, clothing fetishes. Characters kinking on wearing someone's clothing, smelling it, fantasizing about getting caught jerking off in it.

- People being horny. Squirming in seats, pressing thighs together. Wet spots and hard nipples, biting lips and fidgeting. People noticing other people's bodies in horny ways - seeing the curve of a breast under a shirt and imagining grabbing it, daydreaming about what someone's fingers would feel like inside them as they watch someone write, or grinding against someone's thigh as you watch them cross their legs. Especially if the horny person is embarrassed by it, or the object of their affection notices and teases them.

- For ageplay (especially ABDL), I love Littles who are embarrassed. Babies who have accidents (or “accidents”) who get scolded for it and cleaned up. Babies getting diapered and put in comfy clothes, being tickled and kissed and fussed over. Babies who aren’t allowed to come, who can play with Mommy’s breasts or nurse or get bounced on knees, in diapers so thick they can’t close their legs and can’t get enough stimulation to come, but want to try anyway. Babies being given bottles and binkies, being read to, falling asleep with their heads on Mommy’s breast, listening to her heartbeat and feeling the rise and fall of her breath.

- Groping and grabbing, women covertly feeling other women up. Hands that brush against a breast, across someone’s ass, first accidentally, than a bit more deliberately. The grope-ee staying quiet, letting themselves be touched. Maybe they’re actively encouraging it, wearing shorter skirts or lower cut shirts. Women taking pleasure in other women’s bodies, by jiggling breasts or pinching asses, making her come in her pants.

- Cannibalism and gore. Trusting someone to put their hands in your guts, loving someone that you want to have them inside you forever. The longing to consume or be consumed, to share your deepest, ugliest parts.

- PIning. Teenage girls who have crushes on their teachers or mentors, idolizing them, blushing and stuttering and trying to impress them.

- Anal. I just really, really love anal. A lot.

- Older women in authority taking advantage of younger women under their authority.

- Omegaverse with female characters. Ladies with knotting cocks, ladies going into heat. Women impregnating other women, women fawning over their pregnant girlfriends. Scenting, growling, marking each other. Heats that result in nests, nurturing Alphas and possessive omegas. Characters embarrassed about their instincts, but going along with them anyway.

Doctor Who

Fifth Doctor/Tegan Jovanka/Nyssa of Traken
Tegan Jovanka/Nyssa of Traken/Vislor Turlough
Fifth Doctor/Tegan Jovanka/Nyssa of Traken/Vislor Turlough
Melanie Bush/Seventh Doctor/Ace McShane
Melanie Bush/Thirteenth Doctor/Ace McShane
Jo Grant/The Lumiat/Missy
The Lumiat/Ace McShane/Missy
Peri Brown/Melanie Bush/Sixth Doctor
Peri Brown/Fifth Doctor/Sixth Doctor
Fourth Doctor/Sarah Jane Smith/Harry Sullivan
Third Doctor/Jo Grant/The Master (Delgado)

So for Five, Nyssa, and Tegan (or Five, Nyssa, Tegan, and Turlough, or Tegan, Nyssa, and Turlough), I’d love to just see all of them bouncing off of each other. I loved the slightly sibling-y, slightly married vibe you get with Tegan and Nyssa, and when you add Five in to the mix, it just becomes perfection to me. I’d especially like it if the girls take Five into their affections and he’s flustered, because… well, Five being flustered is always adorable. Five can be flustered, Tegan can be bossy, Nyssa can be amused by it all. Turlough, I feel like, might be a bit prickly, but eventually won over - mostly I’d just love to see the affection they’ve all got for each other, maybe mixing some smut in there if you feel like it! I’d love the affection between them to show through - Nyssa and Tegan with each other, with the Doctor with Turlough. The ways they care about each other - maybe comparisons between Time Lord society versus Earth versus Trakenite versus Turlough’s own culture - after all, Tegan is the only human on board!

So for the Seven/Ace/Mel, I’ve got a slightly specific idea in my mind, although if you don’t want to follow that & just go on your own direction, that’s totally cool! I’m going to freely admit that I tend to bounce around the audios, so if you want to just ignore them and go with the show, i’d be okay with that. I don’t know much about Ace’s travels with Hex, or Mel’s adventures with Glitz, but I’d be happy if there’s just an offhand mention. Mostly I’d just like to see Ace and the Doctor having someone to curb their more, uh.. .intense tendencies. He goes full schemey, she will throw herself in full tilt, and having third party around to keep either of them out of trouble would be handy. If you want to emphasize the age difference between Ace and Mel (or Ace, Mel, and the Doctor) I’d also be all for it, if you just wanted to go with Ace just traveling with 7 and Mel after the adventures of Dragonfire.

For Ace/Mel/13, I’ll admit a chunk of it is that I just think that the three of them would be cute together. Maybe do it post Childhood’s End & that one ad for the season 23 blurays, where Mel has her own business, complete with a satellite attached. Alternatively, our two girls dash into the wrong TARDIS and end up with the wrong Doctor… for some reason. I’m not super picky about where you go with these three, honestly, as long as things aren’t too sad, and there are preferably some kisses/smut to go with it.

For Jo/The Lumiat/Missy, I’d love to see the two Time Lords squabbling. The Lumiat trying to be friends with Jo, but not succeeding because… well, Jo said that hse fund her unctuous, the one time they meet. Maybe trying to be friends with Missy, succeeding or failing, since… well, making friends with Jo is easy mode, isn’t it? I’d love to see whatever came with that - I can imagine the Lumiat dragging Missy to Jo to prove that they’r e friends/something more, & Jo somehow befuddled and going along with it. Even if she doesn’t entirely get it.

For/Missy/Ace/The Lumiat, I honestly have no idea how it would go about happening, but I’d honestly love it. I feel like the Lumiat might try to pull the “see, look, we can be friends,” only Ace isn’t half as agreeable as Jo Grant can be, so there’s a lot more snapping. And I’d love to see anything with these three knocking heads, honestly - I’d love to see whatever you can come up with, even if it’s just “Ace is snarky & then gets done by two older women.”

I don’t think Peri and Mel ever actually meet in canon (that I know of), which is a pity, because I feel like they’d probably get on pretty well. Among other things, Mel is just so damn chipper, and Peri could use that in her life. The two of them would team up on the Doctor, and the image fills me with abject delight. I’d love to see where you can bring the three of them - the three of them would be hot as hell together, and even without the sexy end of things, I know that both girls are very capable of deep sweetness, and he’s got a heart of gold under all of that bluster.

Peri with Five and SIx is honestly just the fact that they’re both very good looking men, and she is a very good looking woman. I will also admit that I think it’d be pretty funny - I love how much Six finds Five so off putting. I like the idea that the different regenerations are, at least in part, in reaction to each other, which is partially why Six can’t stand Five. But mostly I’d just like to see them all together, possibly bouncing off of each other, possibly just giving Peri the good fuck she deserves.

Sarah Jane, Harry, and Four are one of my first OT3s for this show! I will say that most of my knowledge of them comes from the novel Scratchman, although I have seen all of Harry’s episodes. I love the way he and the Doctor seem to get on so well, and the way he and Sarah Jane make each other nuts. I’d love anything playing with the deep affection between the three of them - the way the Doctor clearly loves them both, the way she loves them. Also, candidly, they were all three of them very attractive so if you just wanna write “Sarah Jane gets fucked by the Doctor and Harry in the console room” I wouldn’t complain either!

Jo, Three, and Delgado just feels so… classic. One of the original OT 3s of the shows! I’d love anything where Jo has some insight into the endless cat and mouse-ing of the Doctor and the Master, maybe finally realizing at least some of it is just for fun. Alternately, the Doctor realizing just how much Jo means to him, or the Master realizing how much Jo means to the Doctor. Jo is so cute during this era, and honestly, anything having her being appreciated is A+ in my book. Alos, as a little touch, I’d love to see Jo wrapped up in one of the Doctor’s velvet coats, if that’d be doable!

Heaven Will Be Mine

Luna-Terra/Saturn/Pluto

I love that we actually have a canonical traid for these three - we know that they do all three get together, in the end! I’d love to see where you want to go with that - which ending was your favorite? Which one would you want to work with? I’d love to see what you can do with it - see where you can draw further stories from. I’d love to see any of the endings, honestly - what does being a giant robot mean now, or how do they survive on the Moon? What are they up to, casting shadows in space? I don’t have any super specific prompts for them, but I’d love to see where you can go!

Scooby Doo, Where Are You

Daphne Blake/Velma Dinkley/Fred Jones/Norville "Shaggy" Rogers

I’ve always loved Scooby Doo. The way they all clearly care about each other always makes me super happy, and I’d love something with that. Something where the four of them are all… well, together. Maybe the comfort they take in each other, maybe about how they got Scooby, or the four of them all ending up living together? Maybe a new monster (a wedding themed monster,, even!). I don’t have any specific prompts, like I said, but I’d love to see where you can go with it!
