Art likes

I opted in to art for all requests. I am essentially a complete idiot about art. However, I am a fairly easy-to-please idiot. I like many art styles. I like art of physical interactions between characters (struggling or cuddling or fierce or tender or sexy or smutty), but they don't have to be doing romantic/sexy things to count as being in a romantic/sexual relationship. I'm in awe of artists who can capture a character's face.

Opt-ins

These often appear in DNW lists. They aren't things I actively seek out but I am fine with them.

• A/B/O
• Epidemic, illness, pandemic (exception: Covid-19)
• Major character death or injury
• Readerfic
• Setting-change AUs
• Underage sex (down to age 15); adult/underage sex
• Vore, guro

DNWs

If my signup contradicts these, please use what's in the signup.

Please don't include:

• Body shaming, fat hate, deliberate weight change
• Hopeless endings (hopeless beginnings and middles are fine, ambiguous endings are fine)
• Children under 15 having sex (OK to mention as part of a character's background)
• Nonsentient animal suffering (OK to mention briefly)
• Emetophilia (vomit OK in nonsexual context)
• Feeding, stuffing kinks (exception: monsters)
• Racism of humans against other humans (exception: magical or superpowered humans)
• Scat

These are OK in the background but I'd rather the story not focus on them:

• Children under 15
• Homophobia OK to briefly include period-typical attitudes, temporary internal ambivalence)
• Incompatible sexual orientations
• Infidelity, monogamy, polyamory negotiations (characters being either monogamous or polyamorous are fine, I just don’t want talking about relationship style to be a big deal in the story)
• Human women bearing/birthing human offspring

Fandom-specific Notes & Prompts

Fandom-specific notes & prompts are entirely optional.

Devil in a Blue Dress (fic or art)

• Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins/Mouse
• I love the interaction between these two, and the contrasts between them. I'd enjoy a story from their past or missing scenes or their going on another adventure. I enjoy when one of them saves the other from danger, be it from criminals or racist police, and when they simply can't understand why the other makes the choices he does, but they stick together anyway.
• I've also read the book, so feel free to draw from the book too if you wish.
• I wrote a story for them (Burn Down the Town) and I'd enjoy art, fic, or comic remix of the story or any scene in it, if you'd enjoy that.

Crossover Fandom (fic or art)

• Loki (Marvel)/Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV)
  • I'm up for any shenanigans these two might get into, in the Lucifer universe, or the Marvel universe, or both. I love their similarities (cranky superpowered all-but-immortals with serious daddy issues) and their differences (Lucifer seems a lot more hedonistic and social than Loki).
  • I've written a couple of stories in a series (Agents of Fury) where Nick Fury sends them on missions. I'd enjoy art, fic, or comic remix of any part of those, if you're so inclined.
• Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV)/Phryne Fisher (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries)
• They are totally made for each other — both clothes horses, lusty, smartass, competitive, adventure lovers, but they can also be kind, especially to underdogs.
• I'd love to read about or see them playing with fashion, or even crossdressing.
• I mostly imagine Lucifer in Phryne's world. I'd love to see him up against Jack Robinson or Dot or Bert & Cec or Aunt Prudence! But I also think it would be fun for Phryne to be his "Detective!" in modern L.A. — or she could be a celestial.
• Hercule Poirot & Jane Marple
  • If I'm remembering correctly, Agatha Christie thought Jane and Hercule wouldn't like each other, and it would be fun to see that happening as they are required to work together to solve a crime — only to end up respecting each other in some way, if only in their mutual admiration for a lemon tart. (I'm also fine with another outcome to their collaboration.)
  • This request was for the book characters, but I also like David Suchet's Poirot and Joan Hickson's Marple.

The Sandman (TV) (fic or art)

• Worldbuilding: World Ruled by Cats
  • What if they got their wish? Or literally any story set in their world.

• Dream of the Endless/Lucifer Morningstar (Sandman TV)
  • I'd love any exploration of their antagonism (why? were they ever more aligned or attuned? if so, why did it change?), the UST between them (did they ever do something about it?), their mutual love of competition and danger.
  • Or tell me what the world would be like if they were allied and ruling it together.
