Love fluff, pining, and/or hurt/comfort. Give me a sick fic, or something completely slice of life, absolutely normal. OR NOT! I'm pretty easy (heh).

Likes:
- Character study
- Trope subversion
- Tropes played totally straight for all they're worth
- Tarquin having a complicated but not 100% negative relationship with religion and/or his family
- Honestly just exploration of religion and theology in general
- Angst with a happy ending, hurt/comfort
- Crack taken seriously
- Time travel
- Pining, idiots in love
- Secret identities
- Getting together
- Politics
- Stories involving horses/horsemanship (stablehand!Tarquin? a modern equestrian/ranch AU? one or both of them having a history on horseback? an afternoon ride? they're just very primed for ye olde horse lmao)
- Vampires, especially if one of the boys was/becomes turned
- Exploration of living with trauma and/or chronic illness
- Transness being complicated and sometimes messy
- Fake dating/marriage, political marriage, etc.
- Romantic and/or sexual tension, ideally with at least a little resolution
- Fanon subversion can be fun
- Shenanigans! Intentional or otherwise (I love a comedy of errors or hilarious, drawn-out misunderstandings about ultimately low-stakes stuff)
- Wrestling with the realities of societal expectations/cultural differences/etc.
I'm pretty open to a range from canon-compliance, to canon divergence, to full-on AUs. I especially enjoy AUs (and fics in general) about niche topics their writers are especially into/knowledgeable about. If you're still looking for more ideas, my submissions to the summer promptfest can be found at the link included in this signup!
My usual preference is for Tarquin not to have had phalloplasty, but as with pretty much everything on this list that's a suggestion rather than a hard requirement. I'm not particularly opinionated about his chest.
Do not want:
- Major character death (though including canon MCD outside of the pairing or temporary/presumed death that's later disproven is fine)
- Hurt no comfort, or sad/hopeless endings
- PWP (smut's fine! I'd just prefer it be a piece of the story rather than the point of it)
- Cisswap/Rule 63
- Student AUs
- Extreme crack!fic (but crack treated seriously is totally cool!)
- Cheating or noncon/overly-dubcon between the main pairing
- If you go with an AU route, please no Harry Potter or Mafia AUs
- Outright character bashing (characters having or expressing negative opinions about each other is fine, as long as it's reasonably in-character)
