Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I’ve requested fic and art for all of my ships. I am within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests! Most of my ships this round are crossovers of various romance novels – I have a list of the full fandom names at the bottom of my letter if you feel inspired to track any of them down.

I’ve tried to pick canons that mostly overlap in era, but I don’t have much of a head for timelines and I won’t mind if you pick one of the two times to set your work in and move the other canon in time, if relevant.

DNWs

Pregnancy/childbirth – mentions of canonical pregnancy are fine, but I don’t want art showing visibly pregnant characters or fics going into detail about pregnancy, related medical concerns, h/c related to pregnancy, etc

Kinks I DNW: Oviposition, breeding kink, stuffing/feederism, visible stomach bulges (from cocks or toys or anything else)

General Likes

I love all tenses and POVs!

Fic about canonical children, Accidental Child Acquisition of OC children (especially for characters who are not at all parental and have no idea what to do with kids)

Casefic, with a loose definition of "case" that encompasses mysteries for mystery fandoms, paranormal investigations for fantasy canons, espionage for spy canons, etc

Ghost stories! Particular favorites include the "ghostly hitchhiker" urban legend and the setup where characters need to spend the night in a haunted house for Reasons

Recovery or aftermath – of canonical traumatic events or noncanonical torture, rape, murder attempts, etc

Whump, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort

5+1 fics

Epistolary fic

Trans headcanons/character-is-trans AUs

Internal or external homophobia

Art Likes

I love any art styles and media!

Ships sharing each other’s clothes

Disheveled characters (whether from fights or sex or anything else

Clothing/costume porn

Clothed/unclothed, or discrepancies in level of dress, for shippy art

Limited color palettes

Blood, bruises, marks

Smut Likes

Feel free to include any of your favorite kinks if you are writing or drawing me smut! My only squicks are in my DNWs – anything else goes.
Any and all sex acts (vaginal, anal, oral, manual, frottage, intercrural, fisting, double penetration, sounding, etc) are great! I have no top/bottom or dom/sub preferences.

My favorite words for genitals are cock and cunt, but I have no objections to whatever you’d like to use

Pretty much anything under the BDSM umbrella. I am especially into unnegotiated or undernegotiated kink, and characters falling into kinky dynamics or things they enjoy (especially with the younger characters). I have no dom/sub preferences

I would love noncon for any of my requested characters or fandoms – if you want to know more about what I like in dubcon or noncon I have a general list of kinks and tropes here in my Consent Issues letter. I generally prefer noncon with an OC or canonical antagonist as the rapist, and "fuck or die" setups between my requested characters are also great!

Roleplay – I am into both serious roleplay and goofy scenarios that the characters can’t quite take seriously, and I am especially fond of rape roleplay/consensual non-consent

Group sex, orgies, and gangbangs

Gunplay, especially fucking someone with a gun

Watersports – I am mostly into it for humiliation or marking aspects, and am neutral about drinking piss (and would prefer if any drinking happens it’s someone having their mouth pissed in directly rather than just drinking a glass of pee/etc)

Ships
I’ve given a few prompts for each ship, but I will be happy with literally anything about these groups! In general, feel free to make any of my & ships into romantic and/or sexual ships – I am always down for group sex/orgies/poly ships. I am, of course, happy to receive them as gen as well! (One exception: please keep Amanda and Theodore platonic.)

The Murder (Band Sinister) & The Ricardians (Society of Gentlemen) - These two groups are such opposites, I would absolutely love to see them interact. Maybe the Ricardians get invited to a Murder party for Reasons, or their paths cross due to blackmail or politics or another canon-typical plotline? I don’t have a ton of prompts, but I will love absolutely anything that throws them in a room together. (I have read the one crossover that exists on AO3, and it is lovely, and I want 10 million more.)

Silas Mason (Society of Gentlemen) & John Raven (Band Sinister) - I would especially love for these two to meet via correspondence about politics (although I must confess I don’t know enough about 1820s-30s politics to prompt coherently about it). I feel like they would get along swimmingly, and Silas would probably be happy to have another non-aristocratic friend. (You are welcome to make this romantic rather than platonic if you wish!)

Amanda Frisby (Band Sinister) & Theodore Swan (Wanted A Gentleman) - There was a passing line in Band Sinister about Corvin (I think) introducing Amanda to his friend Theodora Swan the novelist, and I so desperately want them meeting up and talking shop, commiserating over plot/work/character troubles, maybe cowriting something...

Dominic Frey/Silas Mason (Society of Gentlemen)/Lord Corvin/John Raven (Band Sinister) - We know from some of the extra short stories that Dom and Silas are down for threesomes/moresomes, and I really want Silas to introduce Dom to some of his friends for the occasional night of absolutely filthy sex. (I would totally be down for Philip and/or Guy joining in as well!) I would also love Dom and Silas ending up romantically involved with the Murder, and especially Silas and John ganging up on Dom in debates. I could also see Richard having to grudgingly come to terms with the concept of polyamory just like he had to do for Dom’s kinks

Lord Corvin (Band Sinister) & Lord Courtenay (Turner Series) - Reading the Turner Series, I was struck by how similar Courtenay is to Corvin in the broad strokes, so of course I want to see them meet up. Maybe in Courtenay’s more disreputable days, or maybe they become or stay friends after the events of Courtenay’s book (and he and Julian have to convince Lawrence that Corvin really isn’t as bad as he is made out to be). I know I nommed/requested this as gen, but I would also be totally down for them fucking if you feel so moved

Lord Courtenay/Julian Medlock (Turner Series) & The Murder (Band Sinister) - Listen, I just want to see Courtenay take Julian to a party hosted by Philip or Corvin without telling him where they’re going, and Julian have a heart attack when he realizes just where they are. The Murder and Courtenay seem like they would get along very well, and I feel like once Julian gets over the shock he would enjoy himself as well. (Also, I would totally be down for Julian and Courtenay joining an orgy, just saying.)

Cora Delacourt (Hither Page) & Patricia Merton (Think of England) - I just want these two sharpshooters from spy novels to meet! Maybe Pat runs across another situation of espionage-in-progress, or maybe she is recruited herself. Maybe they meet at a shooting competition! You are welcome to include Fen and Edith as well. (You are also welcome to have any of those 4 hook up.)

Archie Curtis/Daniel da Silva (Think of England) & Randolph Glyde/Saul Lazenby (Green Men) - I just want Archie and Daniel to find themselves in the middle of a supernatural situation. Especially if they’re sent to deal with something for work, and get in way over their heads. Or perhaps they meet first in a social situation, and then run into each other through one or both of the groups’ work? My first thought was setting this in the future for Archie and Daniel, especially because I’d love to see how WW1 treats them, but you don’t have to include that if you don’t want to!

Rufus Carlin & Wyatt Logan & Lucy Preston (Timeless) & Benjamin January (Benjamin January Mysteries) - I really want the Timeless gang to travel back to 1830s New Orleans, guys. I nommed Ben as the crossover character, but I would be equally happy with any or all Benjamin January characters. Ben playing the role of the historical-figure-of-the-episode and helping the Timeless characters accomplish their mission would be delightful, as would them having to help Ben solve a mystery.
