things i like to write

aka themes/scenarios/aus/etc that make me perk up... i'm definitely missing things, i'll add as i think of them.

• i like writing about turning points, the the smallest pivot around which someone's life might rotate and change.
  
• i like canon divergence and what-if scenarios.
  
• small moments! small, overall unimportant moments that really catch at the way a relationship work are my jam.
  
• if you give me a poem/quote/phrase that grabs me i will probably at least try to bang my head on it.
  
• i love aus in general, but it's easier to get me on the scifi side of the spectrum. i also have a weakness to the spies/assassins/thieves sort of au.
  
• that said, i do love fairytale-feeling things and magical realism.
  
• i like platonic and familial relationships!!!!
  
• probably my most basic ship aesthetic is "fucking shit up together while also being really fucked for each other" points to my actual team.
  
• taking a canon detail or bit of backstory and blowing it way up is something i love. this is especially true if it was something that changed that character's life (eg, arakita's baseball career/injury).
  
• interesting combinations of my favored characters (cross-canon or not) will get my attention.
  
• generally i just really like exploring how people fit together and the vagaries of the human heart.

things i will definitely not write

aka the "sorry, no" list.

things i will not write no matter what ship/characters are involved: incest, rape, abuse, any form of adult/minor relationship, anything that negates or mitigates consent.

ships i don't write regardless of prompt: including poly ships encompassing any of the following tbh. sorry!

daiya: incest, basically any ships not listed in the yes pile for kuramochi, miyuki, or chris, sorry.
oofuri: haruna/abe
chihayafuru: taichi/chihaya



you probably can't get any porn out of me in general but like. i'm not very good at it so it's really not a loss tbh.
