My username on ao3 is the same as here, Pegasus143. I do accept treats on ao3 if anyone is interested in making one.

Relationship: Buddy/Jake Fletcher
Medium: Fic
General DNWs: incest, pregnancy, first person POV (unless epistolary), setting-change AUs, infidelity
Explicit DNWs: ageplay, impact play, rape/noncon, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, transmasculine characters being vaginally penetrated, smut involving characters under 14
I love the loyalty between these two, and I really feel like Buddy has some feelings for Jake. As far as their relationship dynamic goes, I would really enjoy a variety of dynamics, including a one-sided relationship, Jake actually not being straight but mistaking his feelings for wanting to be A Good Ally, some sort of relationship where sometimes they do romantic or sexual things, but it's more out of loyalty than anything else... feel free to get creative!
Prompts:
- In the ending where Jake dies from a drug overdose, what if Buddy figured out that he was still using before that, and had to decide what to do about it?
- Buddy and the player character just cannot get along, leading to the scene in elementary school where Jake says he's sticking with Buddy, and the player character stops being friends with Jake... which means that Buddy has to deal with all of Jake's gang stuff by himself.
- Buddy's at college out of state when the idea of the future starts making him feel like he's dying again. He calls Jake.

Sean Diaz/Finn McNamara/Hannah Reyome Prompts:
- After finding out that Finn and Hannah have been hooking up, Sean either expresses curiosity about joining in or they invite him to join. Smut ensues.
- After the explosion at the weed farm, Hannah busts Sean and Finn out of the hospital and the three of them go looking for Daniel together.
- After either the Blood Brothers or Parting Ways endings, Sean is very happily surprised when Hannah and Finn show up (possibly with Cassidy and/or Penny as well).
Daniel Diaz/Chris Eriksen Prompts:
- Some time after Beaver Creek (whether that's months or years into the future), Daniel realizes that he might've had a crush on Chris -- does he tell Sean about it? Does he keep it to himself?
- An AU where Esteban lives and Daniel decides that he wants to stay with Claire and Stephen for a bit in an attempt to find out more about his mom. He ends up meeting Chris.
- After the Blood Brothers ending, Daniel and Chris reconnect and keep in touch long-distance, eventually getting feelings for each other.

Relationship: Anais & Rhea
Medium: Fic
DNWs: incest, graphic depictions of violence, first person POV (unless epistolary), death of a requested character, setting-change AUs
I would love to see more of Anais and Rhea reconnecting and developing their father-daughter relationship while dealing with the fallout of everything with Rhea's mom. I would also be interested in learning more about where Anais is from and Rhea getting to reconnect with that heritage as well.
Prompts:
- Did Matilde ever read tea leaves for Anais? What did she see -- and if it was something bad, what did she lie and tell him it was instead?
- How does Rhea deal with some of the people who really liked her mother (especially Elias, since they've been friends for so long) while knowing that her mother basically exploited Anais' knowledge and abilities during the events in Hara?
- Does Anais ever bring Rhea farther north from Long Gate, into the world he's from?
Fandom: Farseer Trilogy - Robin Hobb
Relationship: FitzChivalry Farseer/Verity Farseer
Medium: Fic
General DNWs: non-canon character death
Explicit DNWs: impact play, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, smut involving human characters under 14
I really started getting into Fitz and Verity's relationship between the first and second books, when Verity kills Galen and Fitz and Verity start having Skill dreams together. I was really surprised that Fitz agreed to Verity's mentoring in the Skill, especially after Galen had used it as a tool for his abuse. And then Verity, who is stuck fighting a war with Fitz as his only Skilled ally, who sees a lot of his and Chivalry's past selves within Fitz, who has to go teach Fitz in the middle of the night how to block off dreams of "Lady Redskirts" -- he doesn't hold any of this against Fitz. Some of his leniency around Fitz definitely comes from a bit of a selfish place, of wishing he could've had the opportunity to make more of his own choices in his life, but he uses that to try and give Fitz more control over his life at a time when a lot of Fitz's other mentors have strongly discouraged or taken away Fitz's choices. I love the role their statuses in the kingdom play in their relationship -- how Fitz is so loyal to Verity that he uses "my King" to refer to him even before the decline in Shrewd's health, how Verity is one of the only people who is allowed to know about all areas of Fitz's life -- and especially how it makes breaches of status feel much more impactful. Even in the third book, when Verity is at his lowest point and makes some intentional and unintentional choices that hurt Fitz, the two still end it all with this: "I did love you, you know. Despite all I've done to you, I loved you."/"I never doubted it. Never doubt I loved you."
If you're writing in first person, I would prefer Fitz's POV since that's how the books are written. The only books I've read in this universe are the Farseer Trilogy, Liveship Traders Trilogy, and the Tawny Man Trilogy; I haven't gotten to any of the others yet.
- An AU where Fitz is either allowed to go with Verity on his quest or decides to leave and follow Verity at a different point in time. I'd love to see the two of them working together (or not) to face any of the challenges on the way to the dragons, and maybe realizing earlier how to wake up the stone dragons.
- Chade makes a plan for an assassination that involves Fitz disguised as a woman at some event where Verity will be in attendance. Your choice how much Verity knows beforehand, if Fitz or Verity have taken any Elfbark recently, and what happens after.
- Instead of Verity switching bodies with Fitz and then getting Kettricken pregnant, he gets Fitz pregnant (maybe because the Skill or the Wit somehow allows for pregnancy when anatomy wouldn't support it, or maybe Fitz is trans), and then Fitz has to deal with carrying Dutiful post-Farseer Trilogy.

Relationships: Houshou Hayato & Sakuraba Soujirou, Houshou Hayato/Sakuraba Soujirou
Medium: Fic
General DNWs: incest, pregnancy, first person POV (unless epistolary), setting-change AUs, character death, graphic depictions of violence, infidelity
Explicit DNWs: ageplay, impact play, rape/noncon, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, transmasculine characters being vaginally penetrated, smut involving characters under 14
Hayato is my favorite character. I found his frustration with what his body could do, to the point where he made it so his body could do even less (such as by depleting his strength to the point where he passed out during the monkey riding exercise) to be a really compelling plotline. I also love his relationship with Soujirou, and how they had a very realistic level of communication where they both know and tell each other that they should be open about their problems, but then don't follow their own advice. Their scene together in ep 13 where Hayato says "I see why girls like you" while Soujirou is shown in pink lighting made me ship them so hard, but fic set before anyone's realized any feelings is also fine. I would also love to see more of Soujirou's backstory and relationship with his father, since we didn't get to learn too much about that in the show.
Prompts:
- A fic taking place during Soujirou's second year when he's at his father's training center and Hayato is figuring out what to do now that he's no longer at the Horse Riding School. Maybe they keep in touch and try to help each other out.
- Post-canon fic where Soujirou eventually figures out what Hayato meant by "I see why girls like you" and reciprocates.
- A more recovery-oriented fic about Hayato learning to love his body/seeing the good things that it can do for him (with Soujirou's help, of course).
