Art likes
I know that I like art of physical interactions between characters (cuddly or tender or sexy or smutty). Otherwise I am essentially a complete idiot about art. However, I am a fairly easy-to-please idiot. Please create whatever images inspire you, and use my prompts if they help.
Opt-ins
These are tropes/content that often appear in DNW lists. I don't consider them likes per se, but I'm fine with them.- A/B/O
- Graphic violence
- Incest (except parent/child incest, unless canon)
- Major injury

- Homophobia
- Period-typical attitudes OK, if not the focus
- Hopeless endings

- Permanent death of named characters, unless canon
- Ghosts, undead, or characters experiencing some other kind of afterlife are OK

- Aliens or fantasy races having negative attitudes about other aliens or fantasy races is OK

Fandom-specific Notes & Prompts
Fandom-specific notes & prompts are entirely optional; take or leave, mix and match as you please.
Babylon 5 (fic or art)
- Alfred Bester/Michael Garibaldi (either hurt)
- As far as the slash goes, I don't see them making it all the way to romantic lovers (you're free to try to change my mind, though!), but I can see hate sex, or physical attraction acted on because the circumstances call for it.
- Bester is hurt; Garibaldi gets telepathic control over Bester, torments him with it, finds unexpected things in his mind that cause his feelings about Bester to change.
- Garibaldi is hurt; only Bester is available to help him, but Garibaldi doesn't trust Bester's help, at least at first.
- G'kar/Londo Mollari (either or both hurt)
- Londo discovers G'kar has been harmed in some way, flies off the wall and tries to get revenge on those who harmed him, against G'kar's wishes. Possibly Londo gets harmed doing this and G'kar has to help him.
- This one time they work together to defeat, trick, or misdirect Londo's Keeper over something small but important
- Londo Mollari/Timov (Londo hurt or both hurt)
- I don't ship them as monogamous lovers, so I'm fine with either or both of them having/discussing other lovers.
- Being stuck somewhere together, maybe believing they're going to die, leads them to have an honest conversation.
- Timov is on the station without Londo realizing it; he gets into some minor trouble, she comes to his aid, possibly shows previously unrevealed skills in rescuing him.
- TAGS: • Caring for someone who should be your enemy • Trapped In Elevator • Comforted By An Enemy • Enemies to Lovers - A gets in trouble or injured protecting B; which makes B see A in a new light • Enemies to Lovers - A is in danger and needs to be rescued; prompting B to realize their feelings • Enemy Family Members - Try to Take Care of Each Other • Character A doesn't know how to comfort Character B • Discovery of Hidden Injury • Characters Sharing Mutual Dislike Become Telepathically Linked; Slow Learn to Cope/Like Each Other • Telepathic Connection Used To Provide Comfort • Mind Control Aftermath & Recovery • Character doesn’t trust comforter’s motives • Enemies Must Work Together/Trust Each Other To Solve Problem And/Or Prevent (Fate Worse Than?) Death • Usually Powerful Character is Helpless Due to Drugs and at the Mercy of Someone They Don't Trust • Comforted by the person who hurt them • No One Is Allowed to Hurt You Except Me
Lucifer (TV) (fic or art)
DNW: Lucifer/Chloe. But Lucifer & Chloe is OK, and Lucifer can feel possessive of Chloe and treat other men in her life as rivals. Or Chloe can simply not be part of the story.
- Dan Espinoza/Lucifer Morningstar (either or both hurt)
- Dan doesn't know Lucifer is the Devil. He discovers the truth because Lucifer is hurt in such a way that he's unable to put his wings away.
- Dan and Lucifer end up in Hell (by accident or because enemies have put them there) and need to figure out how to get back.
- Lucifer Morningstar/Marcus Pierce (both hurt)
- Lucifer and Marcus get hurt in a situation where they could both die -- maybe Lucifer is temporarily vulnerable (not necessarily because of Chloe) and Marcus doesn't have his Cain mark. This Changes Everything.
- Lucifer and Marcus ally because both of them have been treated unfairly by Lucifer's Dad. Maybe canon divergence where Lucifer finds out that his Dad's been playing matchmaker between him and Chloe at the same time he finds out Marcus's true identity.
- Lucifer Morningstar/Michael (either or both hurt)
- Lucifer and Michael swap bodies/powers, which neither of them wants; they have to confront their fears in order to swap back. (This involves their fucking, if you ask me, but feel free to go with a different idea.)
- Michael incapacitates Lucifer, as part of a plan to destroy him, but finds himself reluctant to go through with it.
- Michael ends up trapped in Hell. To his surprise, Lucifer helps him escape.
- TAGS: • Usually Powerful Character is Helpless Due to Drugs and at the Mercy of Someone They Don't Trust • Wingfic - Character is Sick or Scared and Hiding Under Their Own Wings About It • Wingfic - injured wings • Wingfic - Permanently disabled wings • Wingfic - Using Wings to Hug Another Character • The Worst Person Is Also Comfortee's Only Hope • A used to mistreatment from others unsure if B will help them • Unresolved childhood trauma catches up to adult character • Unsupportive Parents/Family • Unwilling allies after being magically bound together in some fashion • Unexpected mercy and gentleness Touch-Starved Character Having Overwhelming Tender Long Foreplay First Time Sex • Temporary Loss of Invulnerability • Sleeping in the same bed because one character is too scared to sleep alone • Sibling unexpectedly cares/helps • Seeing enemy/antagonist hurting prompts unexpected feelings • Rescuing comfortee from mutual enemy and comforting them because only I am allowed to destroy you • Power Swap - Using other character's powers comes at an unintended cost • Neither comforter or comfortee will directly acknowledge that comforting is taking place
Thor/Marvel Cinematic Universe (fic or art)
- Loki/Stephen Strange/Thor (any or all hurt)
- Loki and Strange try to combine their magic.
- Loki doesn't trust Strange's magic.
- Strange is hurt. Thor is extremely distraught over it and getting in the way of Loki's attempts to fix him.
- Strange and Loki lose their magic. They try to talk Thor through some magic use and that makes matters worse.
- Loki/Thor (either or both hurt)
- Loki and Thor have to engage in a blood/sex magic healing ritual; they're ambivalent.
- Loki's magic goes out of control; Thor is the only person powerful enough to stop what's happening, but the fix might damage Loki permanently.
