wolfraven80Dear author,
First of all, thank you so much for writing for me! Below, I've written a little bit about a few of the tags and characters I've requested. But hey if you've got a very specific plot-bunny you want to pursue, feel free to chase it!
Likes: f/f, Fluff, mystery, adventure, casefic, hurt/comfort, found families, strong female characters, affection, girls with swords, friends-to-lovers, missing scenes, post-canon, scars, injury recovery, happy/hopeful endings, time-travel, time-loops, getting together, pre-relationship, established relationship. For AUs, I like canon-divergence and what-if scenarios and I'm also partial to historical AUs.
DNW: Explicit sex (mentions and fade to black are okay), non-con, dubcon, incest, animal harm/death (hunting is fine as long as not graphic and fighting any kind of monster is fine too--just please don't kill pets or animal companions or the like), permanent main character death, graphic violence/gore, torture, self-harm, character-bashing, kidfic/pregnancy fic (mentions are fine; I just don't want babies and small children to be the focus of the fic), unrequested genderswap, mundane AUs (coffee shop, sports team etc.), supernatural AU (vampire AU, magical school AU, etc.)
General comments:
For any of tags that have a character A/character B setup, especially the H/C tags I'm not picky about who's who--injure whoever you want! Injure both if you want! Send whoever you want into the time loop! Give everyone lost of scars! Have fun with it! ;D
*Scars: I like the idea of characters having their stories carved onto their bodies. Sometimes it's stuff that they're proud of--a scar they got saving someone--or that they're ashamed of--a scar they got when they failed to save someone or because of something that was done to them against their will. I love seeing how different characters react to those stories, how they feel about them.
*Hurt/Comfort: I enjoy all kinds of hurt comfort. Feel free to injure characters and then have someone tend to them. I love seeing characters who are normally tough become vulnerable and having to rely on someone. I love seeing the concern of the person tending to them. I also really love stranded/trapped situations that force characters to rely on each other for survival.
Sickfic is okay though I'd prefer to avoid terminal illness or stuff involving a lot of illness-related body fluids.

Fire Emblem:Three Houses
Fire Emblem:Three Hopes
Doctor Who
Revue Starlight
Saijou Claudine/Tendou Maya
Even though they're rivals I love how as the show goes on, it becomes clear that they really do care for each other. Their revue in the series is such a transformative moment for them as is their revue in the movie. I love how both of those show how in synch they are (Battle Couple is one my favourite tropes and they hit it so it well). The intensity of that connection in the revues is something I really love. I'd love to see more revue antics whether during the series or in a post-canon setting or anything to do with the time loop (them becoming aware of it at some point maybe? Or another loop created for some other reason?) I'm also always up for seeing how their connection translates into their real life interactions, that mix of rivalry and caring.
I've never played the game but I've read some fic that deals with it so I know the broad outlines of it so if you want to add details from that feel free.
Legend of Korra
If you've read the comics, something that takes place during or after Ruins of the Empire would be fun, but otherwise anything that takes place post-series when they're actually a couple would be great. I really just want to see these two interacting as a couple whether it be during an adventure or a quiet moment in between when they're putting themselves back together after everything they've been through.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Fjorm/Laegjarn
Enemies to lovers isn't usually my jam, but somehow this pairing was the exception for me. I really love how even when their nations are at war Laegjarn feels that she and Fjorm would otherwise have been friends. And I'm really tickled that the summoned versions of them do indeed canonically become friends. I'd love to see more of how this works, whether it's a scenario where they have to fight again due to summon contracts or where they're fighting side by side and have to rely on each other. Any kind of scene where they get to spend time together would be great. And feel free to toss in any other heroes you may need.
Being summoned gives them both a second chance. How do they feel about that? Do they have regrets about their past choices? What do they want to do with their lives now that the war is over and their siblings are responsible for their kingdoms? Of course there's still the Askr war going on and they still have to risk their lives on a regular basis to protect Askr so it's not as if they couldn't lose each other or suffer further injuries. How does that weigh on them? How do react to close calls, to moments when they get separated in battle, to the possibility of being parted?
Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones
Seth/Eirika
I love pairings that involve a member of royalty and their retainer or bodyguard. Seth/Eirika is a great example of that: retainer who's known the princess a long time and probably helped train her to fight. If you don't ship them, that's fine too; I'm totally fine with stories about friendship/platonic loyalty and devotion. I'd love to see anything with them either before, during, or after the war. Loyalty, protectiveness, training or fighting together, managing friendship or romance when they're of different stations--these are all aspects of their dynamics I find really interesting.
I also enjoy enjoy stories that show how Eirika matures as a character over the course of the story, going from a young, naive princess, to someone with battle experience and a more definite sense of her responsibilities as a rule, someone who's been shaped by loss and the violence of the war but who remains kindhearted in spite of it. As for Seth, I love Seth as the classic white knight: serious, devoted to duty, loyal to a fault. I'm always eager to see more pre-game fic about him. In his support with Cormag he says King Fado treated him like a son. I'd love to see more about how that came to be. How did he become a knight? What happened to his family? He seems awfully young to be be a General and to have the reputation he does as the Silver Knight. How did he earn it?
Selena
Selena is such an underutilized character. She's such a strong and upright knight while also being kind and compassionate. I'd really love to see some sort of AU version of events where she doesn't die. I also think it would be fun to see her interacting with Seth and/or Eirika. Eirika she meets briefly earlier in the game without realizing she's the princess, which is interesting. And Selena and Seth and really interesting foils for her each other, especially in the context of Seth/Eirika where not only are they both loyal and devoted knights, but they're both in love with the person they serve. I'd love to see stories where confronting what's happened to Grado and her emperor doesn't lead to her choosing death in battle as the only path for her.
Fire Emblem Three Houses
CF route is my favourite route. I love Edelgard's determination to make the world a better place and the moral greyness surrounding the decisions she makes and the ones she's forced to make due to the silthers. I love that her story is complex and tragic, but that it can also lead to hope in CF route where Byleth and Edelgard team up to reclaim Fodlan for humanity, and in doing so reclaim their own. Byleth's story arc of her slowly becoming more human becomes especially interesting with the loss of her crest and gaining a heartbeat. I'm also I'm fascinated by the double life Edelgard has to lead during the Garreg Mach phase of the game. On the one hand she's working with her imperial allies to prepare plans to topple the Church and working with the slithers and on the other she's getting to know Byleth and the Black Eagles. It must be incredibly difficult when she knows she's deceiving them and they may or may not stick with her when they find out.
Fire Emblem Three Hopes
The dynamic between these two is quite different in Three Hopes so I'd love to that explored more once Byleth is recruited. Byleth hasn't had the experience of being at the academy and all the bonds that went with that, and the experience of becoming more human. And she has a complicated relationship with Soth is Three Hopes as well. Edelgard meanwhile has far more agency since she's no longer under Thales's thumb, though for most of the game she knows he's still out there and still a threat.
Doctor Who
Any Doctor/Rose
This my Doctor Who guilty pleasure. I love stories where Rose gets to meet other versions of the Doctor and how that plays out. Feel free to use any excuse for this, whether it's BadWolf!Rose or Rose searching through dimensions to find her Doctor or a canon-divergent story where they were never parted, or anything else you want. And whether if it's her first time meeting this Doctor or an established relationship where they're wandering through space and time having adventures--I'm up for anything.

Sickfic is okay though I'd prefer to avoid terminal illness or stuff involving a lot of illness-related body fluids.
*Time travel: Some of my requested characters have time-travel powers so I'm always up for time travel antics even if it's just short mishaps with rewinding time or a moment that got better (or worse) after time-travel. And I adore time loops. Any part of the time loop. I chose the general "time loop" tag because all of the time loop tags are great and I'm always up for exploring any aspect of this trope, whether it's romance, action, desperation--whatever the characters experience in a time loop is fascinating to me.
I know elaborate time travel fics are hard to write but if you're feeling ambitious please go ahead and take any shortcuts necessary to get to the meaty bits.
