seal_nonnieDear Gen Freeform Ex creator,
My AO3 username is
DNWs: explicit gore, animal cruelty, hurt without comfort
Likes/Additional Tags I Requested Across Fandoms:
Not in any real order, though I've tried to place similar tags together. I've also listed related tags that I also like.
Worldbuilding: I love worldbuilding in all its forms (and have requested several of these canons for WorldbuildingEx as well, if you want more specific prompts)! Why does the world of a canon work the way it does, how did it come to be, and what consequences does this have? If you have particular expertise in a given field, I'd love to see your opinions on how it's addressed within canon. Some related tags that particularly interest me are Worldbuilding - Exploring How Background Systems In Canon Work (EG: Logistics; Laws/Lawyers; Banks), Worldbuilding: Art & Literature, and Worldbuilding: History and Historiography.
Intelligent Characters Enthusing Over Learning New Things (Especially From Each Other): I love smart characters (book-smart, people smart, intelligent in a very specific set of circumstances/topics, all sorts), and I love characters learning things in a way that explores their world and their relationship to it.
POV Outsider: the protagonists of a canon will always have a specific understanding of how their world works and their place within it, and it's always fun to see how other people's understanding of those differs. I'm a big fan of lack of frame of reference gags, where the Outsider character draws funny (to the audience) and wildly wrong conclusions based on their knowledge, but I also enjoy darker misunderstandings as well. Some related tags I'd enjoy are POV Outsider: Canon Events From Perspectives Not Given In Canon, Hero's Canon-Typical Actions Are Terrifying To An Ordinary Person's Outsider POV, Outsider POV - Time Travel From the POV of a Non-Time-Traveling Character, and Outsider POV of Inhuman Character.
Hijinks & Shenanigans: I love some good hijinks! The plans characters make, and the way those plans go terribly wrong as Yakety Sax plays in the background… I just live for the chaos. Some other relevant tags would be Explosions, Canon-typical shenanigans, Farce, Noodle Incidents, Pranks and Shenanigans, and Poor Life Choices.
Hurt/Comfort: one of my ride or die fic genres! For me, the comfort and the hurt are equally important; I love to see my fave get whaled on (through basically any means) but only if they get cuddles and hair pets (or other comfort) afterwards.
The freeforms relevant to this are a paragraph unto themselves: Character arranges own death for good of group; group isn't happy, Character has to fake being evil for reasons, Character thinks no one is coming to save them; MULTIPLE people team up for the rescue, Character's traumatic past is unexpectedly revealed, Emotonal Hurt/Comfort, Hurt/Comfort - Character Doesn't Expect Tenderness But Gets It Anyway, Hurt/Comfort - Character hurts themself doing something stupid, Hurt/Comfort - Character(s) discover Character A's biggest secret, Hurt/Comfort - Comforting after torture, Hurt/Comfort – character hides the extent of their injury/illness, Hurt/Comfort- A pretends to be okay when really sick/injured; B figures it out, Mind Control - Aftermath of Torture by Mind Controlled/Brainwashed/Possessed Character, Mind Control by a Trusted Person, Touch-Starved, Normally stoic character shows vulnerability, Truth Serum, Trying to fit in with a group while keeping secrets about own past; other characters are suspicious, Undercover - Forced to hurt friend/partner to avoid blowing cover, Witness to Whump. I also really like Age Regression/De-Aging as a method of exposing a character's childhood trauma.
Comfort No Hurt: also very nice! Either with the hurt being offscreen or having never happened at all. Some great tags for this include Graphic Depictions of Hugging, Guarded character falling asleep on/next to a trusted person, Sad Character Is Cheered Up By Cat Allowing Them To Stroke Its Silky Belly Fluff, Guarded character falling asleep on/next to a trusted person, comfortable silence, Fighting alongside each other, and working together
Time Travel: another ride-or-die trope of mine! I love versions with or without bodily replacement, and I like both straight fix-its and fics where the time traveler's changes create more problems. Some relevant freeforms for this would be Time travel - Time traveler's foreknowledge leads to treating a difficult/scary person very kindly, Time travel - trying to change the past but hampered by lack of full knowledge of past, Time Travel Break-it, Time Travel Fix-It, and Time Travel To Ensure Other Character Has Happier Childhood; I don't think it's in the tagset, but "Peggy Sue"-type fic would also be great.
Befriending a Former Enemy: this trope is like catnip to me. This person you've hated for years but now must work with, and you discover that you're not so different after all/find a common ground… *cheff's kiss*. Some relevant freeforms would be Enemies to Friends, Enemy is only one character can talk to about a personal problem, The Enemy of My Enemy, Normally antagonistic characters must cooperate to survive, and reluctant cooperation.
Platonic Soulmates: I love all the potential scenarios put forth for this in the tagset as well as just about any other soulmate concept you'd care to name (from first words to each other on your bodies to soulmate or 1,000 cockroaches). I like both soulmate tropes played straight and and versions where they're not necessarily a positive influence, merely a significant one.
Platonic Eurydice/Orpheus Inspired- going to hell to save a friend/family member: pretty much what it says on the tin. The dedication to another person you have a platonic relationship with, to the end of the line and then far beyond it… I'm fine with sad endings here (given the way the original story goes) just as much as happy ones.
LGBTQ Solidarity: as a queer person myself, I enjoy reading about other queer characters (whether canonical or headcanoned) and how that's affected their lives. Some other related tags would be Everyone Is Gay, Finding Queer Community, and Lesbian Character.
Gender Non-Conforming Character: same deal as above! Gimme all the gnc characters.
pomegaverse (character becomes fluffy pomeranian when stressed + must be pet to turn back): I think this is adorable and a perfect scenario for comfort/no hurt. (Also funny. Your stressed fave is now smol and fluffy!)
Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence: this is probably the genre of fic I read the most of, and for good reason. There are just so many possibilities for how canon can be diverged from, and I love seeing how those changes ripple out. Some other relevant tags would be Fix-It, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Alternate Universe - One Major Change, Alternate Universe - Gender Changes, and Alternate Universe - Role Reversal.
Alternate Universe - Mashima Hiro's Fairy Tail Setting: I really like when a change of setting AU manages to preserve the relationships of characters from the original canon, and I think Fairy Tail's worldbuilding is flexible enough for this to be done for many canons. What kind of magic does each character have, and how do they use it? What guilds do they join, or do they make up their own? What deadbeat parental figures are now dragons? I'm fine with this either being a total replacement fusion or with Fairy Tail characters interacting with the other canon's characters.
Alternate Universe - Percy Jackson Fusion: I loved this series, and I'd love to see other characters in its world. Who's from what camp, who are their parents (major and minor gods), and who's a clearsighted (or not) mortal? Like above, I'm fine with this both being completely independent of PJO or having characters from both interact.
And Some Other Freeforms:
A list of other tags I found intriguing/near my tastes but that I didn't request across most of my fandoms (or, in many cases, at all). Like the above, lumped into larger categories where possible.

Erza Scarlet & Mirajane Strauss (Fairy Tail): I love how they've gone from bitter and vicious rivals pre-canon to friends, and it would be great to see that change in progress. (For H/C or platonic orpheus, perhaps something with trying to get Lisanna back after her "death" but before the Edolas arc?)
Freed Justine & Levy McGarden (Fairy Tail): These two have such similar types of magic, and I'd love to see how their practice of it differs. I'd also love to see how their relationship changed after the Festival arc (or how it differed from what we've seen when they were younger).
Juvia Lockser & Gajeel Redfox (Fairy Tail): Their past membership in Phantom Lord sets them apart from the rest of Fairy Tail, and I'd love to see how that connection affects their relationship with each other and the rest of the guild.
The 39 Clues - Various Authors
Freeforms: Worldbuilding, Intelligent Characters Enthusing Over Learning New Things (Especially From Each Other), POV Outsider, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Hurt/Comfort, Comfort No Hurt, Time Travel, Befriending a Former Enemy, Platonic Soulmates, Platonic Eurydice/Orpheus Inspired, LGBTQ Solidarity, Gender Non-Conforming Character, pomegaverse (character becomes fluffy pomeranian when stressed + must be pet to turn back), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Mashima Hiro's Fairy Tail Setting, Alternate Universe - Percy Jackson Fusion, Putting the "Fun" in "Familial Dysfunction"
Alistair Oh & Grace Cahill (39 Clues): I find their relationship interesting, from childhood friends, to being on different sides of the clue hunt (I wonder how other Cahills interpreted Grace's/Hope's involvement with the Clue Hunt - did they all assume she belonged to another branch and didn't share notes, or…?), to his involvement in the Trent fire.
Grace Cahill & Fiske Cahill (39 Clues): I like how their sibling relationship is complicated by their initial massive gap in age/experience, the rest of the Cahill family drama (both in general and with Beatrice and their dad in specific - I'd love to see how their relationship with those two changed over time as well), and eventually Fiske becoming the Man in Black. I'd love to see Grace helping Fiske fake his death or him reflecting on their relationship after her death.
Ned Starling & Ted Starling & Sinead Starling (39 Clues): the triplets! I love their relationship, before and after the series, and their intense loyalty to each other.
Solo: Amy Cahill (39 Clues): I really related to Amy as a kid, and love the way she gains confidence and skills over the course of the books.
Solo: Creator's Choice of Cahill Agents (39 Clues): I'd love to see the Clue Hunt explored from the perspective of a different agent, historical or present.
Solo: Sinead Starling (39 Clues): my tirefire fave! I love her determination and willingness to push boundaries to get what she wants.
The Mysterious Benedict Society - Trenton Lee Stewart
Freeforms: Worldbuilding, Intelligent Characters Enthusing Over Learning New Things (Especially From Each Other), POV Outsider, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Hurt/Comfort, Comfort No Hurt, Time Travel, Befriending a Former Enemy, Platonic Soulmates, Platonic Eurydice/Orpheus Inspired, LGBTQ Solidarity, Gender Non-Conforming Character, pomegaverse (character becomes fluffy pomeranian when stressed + must be pet to turn back), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Mashima Hiro's Fairy Tail Setting, Alternate Universe - Percy Jackson Fusion, Found Family
Constance Contraire & Reynie Muldoon & Sticky Washington & Kate Wetherall (MBS - Books): four kids who start the series alone but don't end up that way! I love them, and I would love to see their relationship across the books or how it shifts by the time Riddle of Ages comes around.
Kate Wetherall & Moocho Brazos (MBS - Books): I love Moocho as a character, and I love the way he acts as a surrogate father figure to Kate during her time in the circus. I would also love to see how he came to be on the Wetherall farm!
Milligan & Kate Wetherall (MBS - Books): I'd love to see the period of time between the first and second books explored, as Milligan gets used to having a kid and Kate gets used to having a father. Their relationship in general is one of the things I loved most about the books; I just about bawl every time I reread the "Katie-Cat" scene at the end of the first book.
Reynie Muldoon & Miss Perumal (MBS - Books): I love these two as well! I'd love to see how their relationship developed pre-canon, or how he settled into being her son after the first book, or Miss Perumal's thoughts on the Society's adventures.
Encanto (2021)
Freeforms: Worldbuilding, Intelligent Characters Enthusing Over Learning New Things (Especially From Each Other), POV Outsider, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Hurt/Comfort, Comfort No Hurt, Time Travel, Befriending a Former Enemy, Platonic Soulmates, Platonic Eurydice/Orpheus Inspired, LGBTQ Solidarity, Gender Non-Conforming Character, pomegaverse (character becomes fluffy pomeranian when stressed + must be pet to turn back), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Mashima Hiro's Fairy Tail Setting, Alternate Universe - Percy Jackson Fusion, Putting the "Fun" in "Familial Dysfunction", Alternate Universe - Role Reversal
Antonio Madrigal & Bruno Madrigal's Rats (Encanto): This tag is so cute, and I'd love to see it explored. Do the rats have a different understanding of their telenovela characterization than Bruno does (and complain about it)?
Bruno Madrigal & Julieta Madrigal & Pepa Madrigal (Encanto): I'd love to see how the triplet's relationship changed as they grew up, and how they reconnected after the movie. I also think a role reversal/power swap AU could be interesting in how it would change their relationship with the village and each other.
Creator's Choice of Non-Madrigal Encanto Residents (Encanto): I'm really leaning towards Outsider POV with this one. How does the rest of the village interpret the Madrigal family chaos, before, during, or after canon?
Isabela Madrigal & Luisa Madrigal & Mirabel Madrigal (Encanto): I love the sisters' relationship and would love to see more of it, particularly after canon. I also thing a role reversal/power swap (and how it would affect the family dynamic) would be interesting.
Original Works
Freeforms: Worldbuilding, Intelligent Characters Enthusing Over Learning New Things (Especially From Each Other), POV Outsider, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Hurt/Comfort, Comfort No Hurt, Time Travel, Befriending a Former Enemy, Platonic Soulmates, Platonic Eurydice/Orpheus Inspired, LGBTQ Solidarity, Gender Non-Conforming Character, pomegaverse (character becomes fluffy pomeranian when stressed + must be pet to turn back), Identity Porn - Betrayed By Distinctive Injury, Identity Porn - Characters Know Each Other 3 Different Ways and Should Have Figured This Out By Now, Plucky Amateur Detective(s) in Over Their Head(s)
Amateur Sleuth Who Sees Ghosts & Person Whose Death They're Investigating (OW): I love the idea of this; the detective has a resource no one else can tap but they cannot reveal, and the ghost may or may not be helpful.
Solo: Amateur Sleuth Who is a Body Magnet (OW): your classic mystery protag, but slightly more self aware. How did they get this ability? Are they trying to avoid or use it?
Chosen One & Former Chosen One Who is Now Retired (Original Work): The existence of multiple chosen ones - particularly one that's retired from being the chosen one - complicates the narrative a bit, and I love that. Is the new chosen one chosen for the same cause, or a different one? How does the retiree feel about the concept of chosen ones in general or this one in particular? Did they retire on good terms, their job completed (...for now), or was it an uglier process? What have they done with their life since?
Failed Chosen One & New Chosen One (OW): same as above. There's two broad ways I think this could go - either the failed one resenting the new chosen one for their successes, or them bonding over an experience few, if any others share (and perhaps the failed one realizing from their new perspective just how messed up being the chosen one was) - and I love both equally.
Hero & Friend They're Keeping Their Identity Secret From Who is Also A Hero (OW): comedic identity shenanigans! Maybe the obliviousness goes both ways, maybe the friend thought the hero knew they knew, but I definitely want a kinda lighthearted take on this; the reveal could obviously bring up some heavy feelings, but I want those heavy feelings resolved (or at least a hint at a resolution) during the fic.
Officially Sanctioned Kid Superhero & Kid Vigilante & Kid Supervillain (OW): how do they feel about each other and their respective roles in the superhero system? How did they get to be where they are?
Recently-Reformed Supervillain & Their Former Nemesis (OW): all the "Befriending a Former Enemy" tropes here, please. (It would also be great for a "character believes friends aren't coming and then they do" scenario.) You've known - and loathed - this person, and all they stood for, for years, and now you're on the same side? Was the ex-nemesis a catalyst for the villain's reformation? How do their feelings about the other shift over time?
Recently-Reformed Supervillain & Their Old Partner (OW): kind of the inverse of the above. You've known this person for years, and now they've abandoned everything you've worked together for? I'd love to see the doubt and then anger at the heel-face turn, to understanding (or not).
Teen Superhero Framed for Murder & Teen Supervillain Frenemy Who Helps Them Out (OW): What was their relationship like before this; were they bitter enemies but sort-of-if-we-weren't-on-opposite-sides friends? Who framed the hero, and why?
Selkie & Siren (OW): just two mythical creatures being friends. Is there rivalry between their species, or are they allies? Does a siren lure in a selkie captain by mistake, or perhaps help a selkie regain their sealskin?
Selkie & Mermaid (OW): much like the above. How do these ocean-dwellers get along, as individuals or as groups?
Solo: Time Traveler Trying Not To Let Slip Information About the Future (OW): this tag has such tragic and comedic potential. Trying not to tell your former friends about their impending deaths? Trying not to change anything by accident, leading to a massive comedy of errors? The drama when the secret gets slipped? Priceless.
Spy & Rival Spy (OW): Spies are one of my die-hard tropes. How long have the spies been rivals? Are they working for opposite sides, or is this an intra-agency (or two agencies nominally on the same side) dispute?
Leverage
Freeforms: Worldbuilding, Intelligent Characters Enthusing Over Learning New Things (Especially From Each Other), POV Outsider, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Hurt/Comfort, Comfort No Hurt, Time Travel, Befriending a Former Enemy, Platonic Soulmates, Platonic Eurydice/Orpheus Inspired, LGBTQ Solidarity, Gender Non-Conforming Character, pomegaverse (character becomes fluffy pomeranian when stressed + must be pet to turn back), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Mashima Hiro's Fairy Tail Setting, Alternate Universe - Percy Jackson Fusion, Case Fic, Mission Fic, Partners in Crime
Breanna Casey & Team Leverage (Leverage): I love their relationship in the show and would love to see it explored - either during Redemption or before it, when Breanna was growing up.
Breanna Casey & Alex Hardison (Leverage): They're great together! Again, I'd love to see their pre-canon relationship or learning to work more effectively as a team.
Nathan Ford & Jim Sterling (Leverage): I'd love to see them as coworkers and maybe-friends, or their much less cordial relationship since Nate's son's death.
Solo: Parker (Leverage): I love Parker's various stunts and the way she learns to trust (and learns social skills) over the course of the show.
Solo: Sophie Devereaux (Leverage): I love Sophie's talent for acting/grifting, and I'd love to see her developing it, or exploiting it in a missing scene/episode. How did she get to where she is and why? How did she come to know her "aunt" from the King George job? (Is she an actual aunt? In-law? Fellow, perhaps retired, grifter?)
Tara Cole & Sophie Devereaux (Leverage): I'd love to see the two grifters over the years, and how their relationship has changed over that time.
The Mysterious Benedict Society (TV)
Freeforms: Worldbuilding, Intelligent Characters Enthusing Over Learning New Things (Especially From Each Other), POV Outsider, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Hurt/Comfort, Comfort No Hurt, Time Travel, Befriending a Former Enemy, Platonic Soulmates, Platonic Eurydice/Orpheus Inspired, LGBTQ Solidarity, Gender Non-Conforming Character, pomegaverse (character becomes fluffy pomeranian when stressed + must be pet to turn back), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Mashima Hiro's Fairy Tail Setting, Alternate Universe - Percy Jackson Fusion, Found Family
Jackson & Jillson (MBS - TV): they are so creepy in the show. I love it. How did they come to the island, and where do they go after the end of season 1? (Other than, presumably, "to jail").
Martina Crowe & Kate Wetherall (MBS - TV): I love these two. Their 0-to-60 friendship, the presumed betrayal (as distinct from the actual betrayal, lol), their reconciliation at the end… I'd love to see them talk tetherball together, or just have a conversation after what must've been one of the weirdest days in Martina's life.
Rhonda Kazembe & Number Two (MBS - TV): I love the graffiti scene, and then Number Two handing her paint! It's great.Their dynamic is really different in the show as compared to the books, and I'd love to see how those differences came to be, how they've reared their head before the kids entered the picture, and how Rhonda and Number Two learn to get along regardless.
Solo: Creator's Choice of LIVE Students (MBS - TV): this feels like a good place for Outsider POV. How much of the final confrontation did the students see/understand? How much did anyone know about Curtain's plans? What did they think of the society?
Solo: Creator's Choice of Messengers (MBS - TV): how did they feel about their duties; the school obviously frames it as an honor, but did any of them think it "weird" or even a bit unsettling? Did prolonged Whisperer exposure affect them, and if so how? What have they done to stay ahead of their classmates and keep their privileges?
Solo: Kate Wetherall (MBS - TV): Kate, in all forms, is one of my all-time faves. I'd love to see her time in the circus, struggling at the academy before finding her place, or her after the end of season 1, getting adjusted to her new life.
Solo: Martina Crowe (MBS - TV): I love show!Martina; I like her determination and drive to be the best, even at other people's expense, and I love the scene with the tetherball team coming to the rescue at the end. What's her life like off the island? How did she come to L.I.V.E. in the first place?
Murderville (Netflix 2022)
Freeforms: Worldbuilding, Intelligent Characters Enthusing Over Learning New Things (Especially From Each Other), POV Outsider, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Hurt/Comfort, Comfort No Hurt, Time Travel, Befriending a Former Enemy, Platonic Soulmates, Platonic Eurydice/Orpheus Inspired, LGBTQ Solidarity, Gender Non-Conforming Character, pomegaverse (character becomes fluffy pomeranian when stressed + must be pet to turn back), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Mashima Hiro's Fairy Tail Setting, Alternate Universe - Percy Jackson Fusion, Case Fic, Case Fic - Investigating a crime together, First Case Together
Terry Seattle & Daz Phillips (Murderville): Were they once friends, or has Terry always disliked him? How has their relationship changed over the years?
Terry Seattle & Lori Griffin (Murderville): What was their relationship like before her murder? What was Lori's relationship with the rest of the station like?
Terry Seattle & Rhonda Jenkins-Seattle (Murderville): I love Rhonda's willingness to move on, and I wonder how much of their current dynamic was present during their marriage. How much of it was Terry being a Pathetic Miserable Man™ (I say this with affection), and how much of his current behavior stems from Lori's death? How did they meet?
Terry Seattle & Rookie Detective (Murderville): Either one featured on the show, or a guest star of your choice! Does Terry have favorites, or are they all equally trying to fill a hole in his heart that manly men DON'T NEED TO FILL, I'M FINE RHONDA.
Scaredy Cats (Netflix 2021)
Freeforms: Worldbuilding, Intelligent Characters Enthusing Over Learning New Things (Especially From Each Other), POV Outsider, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Hurt/Comfort, Comfort No Hurt, Time Travel, Befriending a Former Enemy, Platonic Soulmates, Platonic Eurydice/Orpheus Inspired, LGBTQ Solidarity, Gender Non-Conforming Character, pomegaverse (character becomes fluffy pomeranian when stressed + must be pet to turn back), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Mashima Hiro's Fairy Tail Setting, Alternate Universe - Percy Jackson Fusion
Willa Ward & Lucy & Scout (Scaredy Cats): I'd love to see these three having more adventures! They're good friends, and it'll be interesting to see how that friendship is altered by the magic and them getting older.
Willa Ward & Neil Ward (Scaredy Cats): Their relationship in the show is really cute (he's a really sweet dad who wants to both keep his daughter safe and give her freedom, which he succeeds at to varying degrees), and I'd love to see more of it, either before or after Willow returns.
Willa Ward & Willow Ward (Scaredy Cats): I'd love to see Willow learning more about magic from the mother she's never known. I know Willa wasn't meant to receive the amulet until she was older, but how would her studies of magic gone had Willow not "died"?
Wilma & Wanda & Wyatt (Scaredy Cats): The "evil witch/warlock" trio! What was their relationship like before the amulet resurfaced? What's it like after Wilma and Wanda are defeated?
Winifred & Willow Ward (Scaredy Cats): What was their relationship like before Willow was locked in the amulet, and how was it changed by her return?
