Dear Battleship Exchange Writer (2024)
Dear Battleship Exchange Writer,
The form threw a fit at the character limit in some entries, so here we go! Beyond the tags already present in the form, here are some more likes and dislikes! I hope you have fun in this exchange <3
--
KALEIDOSCOPE OF DEATH/THE SPIREALM (Ruan Nanzhu/Lin Qiushi)
Other tags I'd also be hyped to see for this ship:
- Huddling for warmth
- Semi-public sex
- Slice of Life
- Stockings
- Temporary Character Death
- Undressing Someone
Things I'd love to see:
- Them being absolutely unhinged for each other (think LQS handing RNZ the axe barely after meeting them, RNZ trading the broken egg for his own, being willing to go hungry for the other's sake without letting them know, etc)
- RNZ's canon gender fuckery and crossdressing, and LQS absolutely not being able to deal with it/being weak to Zhu Meng or Ruan Baijie; RNZ getting kind of jealous over himself; RNZ taking LQS's weakness to Zhu Meng/Ruan Baijie to get closer to him/flirt with him or fake-date LQS in front of others
- The two of them being tender with each other while very much not being in a relationship (yet). Making everyone eat dog food and assume they're together, especially if RNZ is the smuggest bitch on the planet and LQS remains permanently oblivious to how they come across; permanent heart-eyes
- RNZ being possessive and clingy over LQS, bonus points if at some point LQS returns the possessiveness (bonus BONUS points if he doesn't even realize that that's what he's doing)
- An exploration of the canon bed-sharing they keep doing inside the doors, how RNZ always loves eating LQS's noodles, etc; they're in love and trust each other more than anyone else your honour
- RNZ being a bit of a masochist but ESPECIALLY if it comes to being marked by LQS (biting, bruises from getting forcibly dragged away from a door god, or he got cut by something sharp and LQS is cleaning it up/bandaging him and he's feeling Some Way about that pain, etc)
- Any situation where they have to stay close together for a long amount of time (preferably if they have to huddle for warmth or space and get dazed by being so close to one another, or end up accidentally getting each other off due to the forced closeness)
- LQS stuck in predicament bondage and RNZ enjoying it a little too much
- Edging/desperation play
Other considerations:
- Frankencanon of the show/novel is great! Just please keep the names spelled as per novel canon, and don't use the ending of the show (specifically the remaking the VR Spirealm several years later bit).
Art likes:
- Heart-eyes!!! Hungry eyes!!! The way they keep looking at each other is so important to me!!
- Closeness, tenderness, one of them sleeping with their head in the other's lap/shoulder, accidentally-on-purpose having their pinkies touch, eating noodles together across the table from each other while staring at one another and smiling, anything that portrays them as being close and comfortable and wanting the other around
- Crossdressing!RNZ dragging LQS around or flustering him
DNWs:
- Scat, emetophilia
- Anything to do with pregnancy or kids whatsoever (unless it's for horror purposes on a background character)
- Kid fic/art (characters as kids OR next gen/the characters having kids)
- Big time skips (both in regards to canon and within the fic (ie: "10 years later" epilogues))
- Unhappy endings (open/ambiguous endings are fine)
- Slavery or sexual slavery
- Non-canon gender/sex/race changes to the characters (RNZ's canon gender fuckery is fine and encouraged)
- Established relationship (with the exception of smut fics/art, but unestablished here is also preferred)
- Hard AUs (AUs which change entirely the setting/characters, such as mermaid/pirate AUs, space AUs, flower shop AUs, etc). Obviously within the doors this isn't as strict since it's a part of the canon setting, but otherwise I like their canon situationship and I feel like a lot of it would be lost in a big AU.
- Huge dramatic declarations of love (unless it's for a con or a bit)
- Going into the hows and whys and backstory of a character's sexuality/gender/trauma/mental illness
- Non-canon past rape/sexual abuse/trauma
- Cheating or infidelity of any sort, even if they're not technically in a relationship yet
- Flashback/nightmare/dream sequences
- A/B/O
- Permanent character deaths for the main characters
- Permanently physically damaging torture

PETER PAN - DISNEY ANIMATED MOVIES (Jane Darling/Peter Pan)
Things I'd love to see:
- Peter and Jane being equals and him still being in awe/fascinated with how well she keeps up with him
- Jane well and truly being a part of the crew with Peter, Tinkerbell, and the Lost Boys
- That soft sweet spot between true friendship with complete trust, and that first glow of a crush (on both sides but it would be GREAT to see this especially on Peter's side, who Would Not Know how to handle this since his experience is usually the other way around ie: girls having a crush on him)
- Peter being a little flustered/clumsy around Jane
- A nice day in Neverland with the two of them having fun together and teasing each other while exploring the lands
- Jane and Tinkerbell getting along and mischievously teaming up against Peter
- Peter and Jane having one of those bonds where they can understand each other perfectly almost without words, being tender, and always wanting to be around one another for even the most basic things (for example, sharing a bed or looking for food together or something like that)
- Peter and Jane trying out dumb teenage things for the first time (breaking into Captain Hook's rum stash to figure what it's all about, for example)
- The banter and teasing and flirting they had going on in canon is GREAT and I'd love to see some more of it!
- Jane being also fascinated by mermaids (maybe bi hints?) but handling them well
- Bonus points for role reversal in usual courtship gestures!
- No true resolution. There isn't a particular ending that would work out well for both characters as I see them (Peter growing up in the human world or Jane living forever in Neverland would both be unhappy endings for me), so an ambiguous/open ending would really be the best! We don't need to think about the future too hard! That being said, if you want to write/draw more NSFW stuff, they can be slightly aged up (Peter can age to mid-teens by virtue of having a crush or some other deus-ex-machina mechanic like that, while Jane returns after a couple of years 😂)
Art likes:
- First crush kind of tenderness, blushing, cheek kiss, hand kisses (bonus points for Jane initiating/having a more dominant role in this)
- Alternatively, Peter and Jane (others optional) roughhousing, playing around, being generally comfortable and happy hanging out together
- Happy sunlit settings
- Tender and soft stargazing comfortably together scenes
- Unrestrained summer fun vibes
- Warm and cozy kind of situation/setting
- The classical Peter-visiting-at-the-window scene
- Alphonese Mucha pastiche
DNWs (more fandom-specific):
- Either or both of them becoming adults
- Jane never going back home (you can just avoid mentioning what happens after)
- Peter going back to the human world to grow up
- "But you're just a girl!" type of rhetoric
- The Neverland Indian Tribe being mentioned or showing up
DNWs (more general):
- Scat, watersports, emetophilia
- Anything to do with pregnancy whatsoever
- Kid fic/art (characters as younger kids OR next gen/the characters having kids)
- Big time skips (both in regards to canon and within the fic (ie: "10 years later" epilogues))
- Unhappy endings (open/ambiguous endings are fine AND encouraged for this fandom)
- Slavery or sexual slavery
- Non-canon gender/sex/race changes to the characters
- Established relationship (with the exception of smut fics/art, but unestablished here is also preferred)
- Hard AUs (AUs which change entirely the setting/characters, such as mermaid/pirate AUs, space AUs, flower shop AUs, etc)
- Huge dramatic declarations of love
- Going into the hows and whys and backstory of a character's sexuality/gender/trauma/mental illness
- Non-canon past rape/sexual abuse/trauma
- Cheating or infidelity of any sort
- Flashback/nightmare/dream sequences
- A/B/O
- Any permanent character death
- NSFW if either character is depicted as below 14-15 or so. Let's not pretend teens don't have sex but I'd rather them not be super young for this. Best thing is honestly to avoid mentioning ages 😂

MY JOURNEY TO YOU (Shangguan Qian/Gong Shangjue)
Other than the tags specified on the form, here's some more info:
Other tags I'd also be hyped to see:
- Slice of Life
- Undressing Someone
- Waking Up Together (would LOVE if this was right after a time of them sleeping together when they both know they should be enemies)
- Tenderness
- Trapped Together
- Unexpected Mercy
- Vulnerability
- Wound Tending
Things I'd love to see:
- The spy versus spy game they're always playing with each other and their relationship is NUTS and I adore it and would love to see more interactions like that
- During or post-torture scene interaction (the moment when he stopped himself from reaching out to her, her being disappointed/lonely by him not visiting her afterwards and it not JUST being her playing her part as the abandoned bride, the moment when he DID come to visit her after all, GSJ trying to make amends)
- One-sided Shangguan Qian/Gong Yuanzhi, OR Gong Yuanzhi & either/both of the ship (platonic), with Gong Yuanzhi trying to understand their relationship especially after all of Gong Shangjue's warnings about SGQ but GSJ having fallen into a situationship with her anyway
- SGQ and/or GSJ being conflicted about being reluctantly fond of the other despite all of his suspicions/her mission
- Post-canon with them finding each other and having a situationship about it (they keep finding each other and spending the night together only for GSJ to keep waking up alone, or help each other when in predicaments/wounded and then run away before the other can catch them, or SGQ building a new identity solely so that she can openly flirt with him in public and him letting it happen, etc)
- A slice of life scene of their sham marriage where they're actually fond/tender of the other and spend some time quietly together with minimal scheming
- GSJ gets wounded and SGQ is struck by how much she actually cares whether he lives or dies, maybe sneaks in for reluctant wound-tending while thinking he's unconscious (or, the other way around, post-torture scene wound-caring on GSJ's part). Alternatively, GSJ is wounded and SGQ tasks herself with washing his hair, and they're both Totally Not Feeling Something over the closeness and intimacy of it
- They're encouraged to court more normally due to outside interference and them being weird about it because that kind of by-the-book gesture and response is not really how they roll, despite this theoretically being in favour to SGQ's mission
- SGQ topping, and this being a central point to their relationship in regards to them being honest with each other/to themselves regarding their own feelings towards the other (SGQ planning to leave to leave, GSJ knowing she's a spy and doing it anyway, post-canon, etc)
- Canon deviation FTW! For example, SGQ tried approaching him earlier, a scene went down differently, etc
Art likes:
- Courting scenes, hand-kissing, walking together, playing strategy games or eating together while smirking at each other
- The two of them fighting each other with flowing robes and hair all around
- Just the two of them but at least one with a look that says that they Know Something Is Up
- Genuine affection when meeting post-canon
- Redraw of the hot springs scene or any other canon scene where they're together
- One of them trying to kill the other
- Alphonese Mucha pastiche
- Classical Chinese art inspirations
DNWs:
- Scat, watersports, emetophilia
- Anything to do with pregnancy or kids whatsoever (characters as younger kids OR next gen/the characters having kids included, if you must include that part of canon say she lost the child or lied or don't mention it at all (preferred))
- Big time skips (especially within the fic, ie: "10 years later" epilogues)
- Unhappy endings (open/ambiguous endings are fine AND kinda encouraged for this ship)
- Non-canon gender/sex/race changes to the characters
- Established ACTUAL relationship (being married or not aside)
- Hard AUs (AUs which change entirely the setting/characters, such as mermaid/pirate AUs, space AUs, flower shop AUs, etc). I can deal with, idk, reincarnation and meeting again on another life as an epilogue at most. I like their messy canon relationship and I feel like a lot of it would be lost in a big AU.
- Huge dramatic declarations of love (unless it's for a con put on for outsiders, or an inside joke)
- Going deeply into the hows and whys and backstory of a character's sexuality/gender/trauma/mental illness
- Non-canon past rape/sexual abuse/trauma
- Cheating or infidelity of any sort
- Gong Shangjue/Gong Yuanzhi, or anything more than one-sided Shangguan Qian/Gong Yuanzhi (on Gong Yuanzhi's part)
- Flashback/nightmare/dream sequences
- A/B/O
- Permanent character death for Gong Shangjue, Shangguan Qian, or Gong Yuanzhi
- Permanently physically damaging torture for Gong Shangjue or Shangguan Qian (scars are fine, limb/eye loss are not, chronic pain shouldn't be entirely physically disabling but it's okay if it's a background ever-present ache)
--
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: TWILIGHT PRINCESS (Link/Zelda)
Things I'd love to see:
- Link keeping some of his feral/wolf characteristics (personality, reactions, sharper hearing, lowkey fangs) even after he's fully human again (or in human form if during canon) and having some difficulty adjusting back to the human side. Zelda can either be into it or neutral/not notice it (just not feel negatively about it), and other characters can and should feel intimidated by it.
- Touching on how both Link and Zelda dealt with being isolated from human contact for a while and how it affects their interactions with people now (the touch-starved tag comes in here, but also some hesitation in actually touching or being near people after so long)
- The two of them having this weird sort of relationship where they went through All That together and no one else can understand it/them the same way they do but also not knowing each other very well? and exploring that
- Accidental courtship and/or marriage of convenience post-canon and how they might fall into that would be fun! Bonus points for adding Hyrulian courtship rituals and goddesses religion worldbuilding
- Honestly any sort of worldbuilding as related to like, how they resonate with each other as people who keep finding one another throughout the ages (romantically and platonically) and how that affects their interactions AND expectations for how the Zeldas/Links are supposed to behave when encountering one another (like a specific subsection of court/religion rules for handling them, a ritual to designate them as the confirmed wielders of their respective Triforces, etc)
- I would honestly just like them see being a little weird and awkward with each other (bonus points if they're self-conscious about the difference in standing) but also desperately needing to be close to someone who Understands™
- Modern era Zelink with a touch of canon (Zelda still descending from royalty even if they don't rule anymore, them having some sort of recognition towards each other from their past lives, Link having a propensity to find himself in the middle of a heap of trouble) would also be great, though I would prefer not to have "pre-packaged" AUs such as coffee shop, tattoo&flower shop, etc.
- If NSFW, Zelda should be in control and Link is into it, maybe a touch of power-play?
- Role reversal where Zelda was the one turned into a wolf and tries to find the hero of courage
Art likes:
- Keeping the kind of gothic/dark Lord of the Rings fantasy style of the game
- I cannot overemphasize this enough but brunette Zelda, the longer and flowier and shinier the hair, the better
- A moment of genuine affection or devotion (Link kneeling to press his forehead to her hand, for example), or relief that the other is safe post-canon
- Zelda and wolf!Link interacting somehow (riding, his head on her lap while he's napping, petting, etc)
- Link finding the lifeless Zelda before she becomes a puppet
- Alphonese Mucha pastiche
Other considerations:
- I don't mind if it's not super based on Twilight Princess canon so long as the characters are based on that iteration. Which is to say, we could have a variation where the Twilight Realm thing didn't happen (so like... any possible non-game Zelda reincarnation, basically), or even a modern 'verse, but the characterization and appearances should be based on TP.
- If you want to write mute!Link, go for it! I just ask that you don't go into the hows and whys or angst about it - if he doesn't speak, he doesn't speak, and the other characters can roll with it especially if they already dealt with him before.
DNWs:
- Scat, watersports, emetophilia
- Anything to do with pregnancy or kids whatsoever (characters as younger kids OR next gen/the characters having kids included)
- Big time skips (especially within the fic, ie: "10 years later" epilogues)
- Unhappy endings (open/ambiguous endings are fine)
- Non-canon gender/sex/race changes to the characters
- Established ACTUAL relationship (being married or not is irrelevant)
- AUs other than those described in the likes
- Huge dramatic declarations of love
- Going deeply into the hows and whys and backstory of a character's sexuality/gender/trauma/mental illness
- Non-canon past rape/sexual abuse/trauma
- Cheating or infidelity of any sort
- Non-Zelink ships
- Flashback/nightmare/dream sequences
- A/B/O
- Permanent character death or permanently physically damaging torture for Link, Zelda, and Midna (scars are fine, loss of ONE limb/eye are okay for Link, chronic pain shouldn't be entirely physically disabling but it's okay if it's a background ever-present ache)

HYOUKA & KOTENBU SERIES (Oreki Houtarou/Chitanda Eru)
Some specific clarifications for some tags:
Accidental Courtship - for this one I'm thinking of like... the specific ways Chitanda's family do things? (such as not giving gifts to the people they're close to on Valentine's). Houtarou could accidentally hit on one of those habits and Chitanda knows he's not beholden to it since he has no way of knowing, but shyly enjoys the thought of it anyway.
Pronoun Porn - I'm chosing to interpret this as like... honorific/name porn. How the way they call each other might change as they get closer.
Possessiveness/Protectiveness - I'm thinking specifically of that moment in canon where Houtarou sends Chitanda away so he can yell at Satoshi about hurting her and Ibara ("you made Chitanda cry!"). Something like that would be absolutely <em>delicious</em> to see, though of course other interpretations are also allowed! I'd just like it not to be angry irrational jealousy (ie: how dare you have guy/girl friends).
Things I'd love to see:
- The sort of relationship you barely know whether to tag as & or /
- Oreki and Chitanda being a little flustered around each other at all times, despite being very comfortable together
- A slice of life missing scene from the show, specifically on the last arc where they're very settled and comfortable around each other and actively seek to hang out together
- Pre-relationship OR exes to lovers (they broke up due to distance or something like that, but never really got over each other)
- Oreki reluctantly and awkwardly putting an effort into things of his own volition for her sake, when not too long ago he'd have simply said no (character development my beloved)
- If you're going for a smuttier lean on them, I only request that Chitanda has an active role in this and takes charge
- Small divergences from canon where X or Y scene went slightly differently and resulted in additional interactions between them (for example, the doll festival arc and someone assuming the two of them are dating, or Satoshi coming clean to Chitanda about Oreki actually threatening to punch him for her sake)
- Romantic gestures being REALLY subtle and not overt in the slightest, someone coming in from the outside should not be able to tell that that's what's happening but. They Know.
- Oreki having to lend Chitanda his sweater/jacket and being unable to deal with the sight of it
Art likes:
- Blushing, them being a little flustered around each other, avoiding each other's eyes while clearly wanting to get closer, alternatively Chitanda really getting into Oreki's space and him not knowing how to handle it
- Alphonse Mucha pastiche, art nouveau or tarot card aesthetic
- Canon scene redraws where they're close or interacting in fun ways
- Plant motif like Chitanda's hair in the beginning
- Colourful, light, gentle scenes
DNWs (more general):
- Scat, watersports, emetophilia
- Anything to do with pregnancy whatsoever
- Kid fic/art (characters as younger kids OR next gen/the characters having kids)
- Big time skips (both in regards to canon and within a fic (ie: "10 years later" epilogues, a couple years is fine if you're doing an exes to lovers route though))
- Unhappy endings (open/ambiguous endings are fine AND encouraged for this fandom)
- Slavery or sexual slavery
- Non-canon gender/sex/race changes to the characters
- Established relationship (with the exception of smut fics/art, but unestablished here is also preferred)
- Hard AUs (AUs which change entirely the setting/characters, such as mermaid/pirate AUs, space AUs, flower shop AUs, etc)
- Huge dramatic declarations of love
- Going into the hows and whys and backstory of a character's sexuality/gender/trauma/mental illness
- Non-canon rape/sexual abuse/trauma
- Cheating or infidelity of any sort, big jealousy scenes
- Flashback/nightmare/dream sequences
- A/B/O
- Any permanent character death
- A bit of angst is fine but I would rather it not be a huge focus
- Scenes that are novel-only, or manga-only scenes that haven't yet been translated to English online
The form threw a fit at the character limit in some entries, so here we go! Beyond the tags already present in the form, here are some more likes and dislikes! I hope you have fun in this exchange <3

- GSJ gets wounded and SGQ is struck by how much she actually cares whether he lives or dies, maybe sneaks in for reluctant wound-tending while thinking he's unconscious (or, the other way around, post-torture scene wound-caring on GSJ's part). Alternatively, GSJ is wounded and SGQ tasks herself with washing his hair, and they're both Totally Not Feeling Something over the closeness and intimacy of it
- They're encouraged to court more normally due to outside interference and them being weird about it because that kind of by-the-book gesture and response is not really how they roll, despite this theoretically being in favour to SGQ's mission
- SGQ topping, and this being a central point to their relationship in regards to them being honest with each other/to themselves regarding their own feelings towards the other (SGQ planning to leave to leave, GSJ knowing she's a spy and doing it anyway, post-canon, etc)
- Canon deviation FTW! For example, SGQ tried approaching him earlier, a scene went down differently, etc
Art likes:
- Courting scenes, hand-kissing, walking together, playing strategy games or eating together while smirking at each other
- The two of them fighting each other with flowing robes and hair all around
- Just the two of them but at least one with a look that says that they Know Something Is Up
- Genuine affection when meeting post-canon
- Redraw of the hot springs scene or any other canon scene where they're together
- One of them trying to kill the other
- Alphonese Mucha pastiche
- Classical Chinese art inspirations
DNWs:
- Scat, watersports, emetophilia
- Anything to do with pregnancy or kids whatsoever (characters as younger kids OR next gen/the characters having kids included, if you must include that part of canon say she lost the child or lied or don't mention it at all (preferred))
- Big time skips (especially within the fic, ie: "10 years later" epilogues)
- Unhappy endings (open/ambiguous endings are fine AND kinda encouraged for this ship)
- Non-canon gender/sex/race changes to the characters
- Established ACTUAL relationship (being married or not aside)
- Hard AUs (AUs which change entirely the setting/characters, such as mermaid/pirate AUs, space AUs, flower shop AUs, etc). I can deal with, idk, reincarnation and meeting again on another life as an epilogue at most. I like their messy canon relationship and I feel like a lot of it would be lost in a big AU.
- Huge dramatic declarations of love (unless it's for a con put on for outsiders, or an inside joke)
- Going deeply into the hows and whys and backstory of a character's sexuality/gender/trauma/mental illness
- Non-canon past rape/sexual abuse/trauma
- Cheating or infidelity of any sort
- Gong Shangjue/Gong Yuanzhi, or anything more than one-sided Shangguan Qian/Gong Yuanzhi (on Gong Yuanzhi's part)
- Flashback/nightmare/dream sequences
- A/B/O
- Permanent character death for Gong Shangjue, Shangguan Qian, or Gong Yuanzhi
- Permanently physically damaging torture for Gong Shangjue or Shangguan Qian (scars are fine, limb/eye loss are not, chronic pain shouldn't be entirely physically disabling but it's okay if it's a background ever-present ache)

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: TWILIGHT PRINCESS (Link/Zelda)
Things I'd love to see:
- Link keeping some of his feral/wolf characteristics (personality, reactions, sharper hearing, lowkey fangs) even after he's fully human again (or in human form if during canon) and having some difficulty adjusting back to the human side. Zelda can either be into it or neutral/not notice it (just not feel negatively about it), and other characters can and should feel intimidated by it.
- Touching on how both Link and Zelda dealt with being isolated from human contact for a while and how it affects their interactions with people now (the touch-starved tag comes in here, but also some hesitation in actually touching or being near people after so long)
- The two of them having this weird sort of relationship where they went through All That together and no one else can understand it/them the same way they do but also not knowing each other very well? and exploring that
- Accidental courtship and/or marriage of convenience post-canon and how they might fall into that would be fun! Bonus points for adding Hyrulian courtship rituals and goddesses religion worldbuilding
- Honestly any sort of worldbuilding as related to like, how they resonate with each other as people who keep finding one another throughout the ages (romantically and platonically) and how that affects their interactions AND expectations for how the Zeldas/Links are supposed to behave when encountering one another (like a specific subsection of court/religion rules for handling them, a ritual to designate them as the confirmed wielders of their respective Triforces, etc)
- I would honestly just like them see being a little weird and awkward with each other (bonus points if they're self-conscious about the difference in standing) but also desperately needing to be close to someone who Understands™
- Modern era Zelink with a touch of canon (Zelda still descending from royalty even if they don't rule anymore, them having some sort of recognition towards each other from their past lives, Link having a propensity to find himself in the middle of a heap of trouble) would also be great, though I would prefer not to have "pre-packaged" AUs such as coffee shop, tattoo&flower shop, etc.
- If NSFW, Zelda should be in control and Link is into it, maybe a touch of power-play?
- Role reversal where Zelda was the one turned into a wolf and tries to find the hero of courage
Art likes:
- Keeping the kind of gothic/dark Lord of the Rings fantasy style of the game
- I cannot overemphasize this enough but brunette Zelda, the longer and flowier and shinier the hair, the better
- A moment of genuine affection or devotion (Link kneeling to press his forehead to her hand, for example), or relief that the other is safe post-canon
- Zelda and wolf!Link interacting somehow (riding, his head on her lap while he's napping, petting, etc)
- Link finding the lifeless Zelda before she becomes a puppet
- Alphonese Mucha pastiche
Other considerations:
- I don't mind if it's not super based on Twilight Princess canon so long as the characters are based on that iteration. Which is to say, we could have a variation where the Twilight Realm thing didn't happen (so like... any possible non-game Zelda reincarnation, basically), or even a modern 'verse, but the characterization and appearances should be based on TP.
- If you want to write mute!Link, go for it! I just ask that you don't go into the hows and whys or angst about it - if he doesn't speak, he doesn't speak, and the other characters can roll with it especially if they already dealt with him before.

- AUs other than those described in the likes
- Huge dramatic declarations of love
- Going deeply into the hows and whys and backstory of a character's sexuality/gender/trauma/mental illness
- Non-canon past rape/sexual abuse/trauma
- Cheating or infidelity of any sort
- Non-Zelink ships
- Flashback/nightmare/dream sequences
- A/B/O
- Permanent character death or permanently physically damaging torture for Link, Zelda, and Midna (scars are fine, loss of ONE limb/eye are okay for Link, chronic pain shouldn't be entirely physically disabling but it's okay if it's a background ever-present ache)

HYOUKA & KOTENBU SERIES (Oreki Houtarou/Chitanda Eru)
Some specific clarifications for some tags:
Accidental Courtship - for this one I'm thinking of like... the specific ways Chitanda's family do things? (such as not giving gifts to the people they're close to on Valentine's). Houtarou could accidentally hit on one of those habits and Chitanda knows he's not beholden to it since he has no way of knowing, but shyly enjoys the thought of it anyway.
Pronoun Porn - I'm chosing to interpret this as like... honorific/name porn. How the way they call each other might change as they get closer.
Possessiveness/Protectiveness - I'm thinking specifically of that moment in canon where Houtarou sends Chitanda away so he can yell at Satoshi about hurting her and Ibara ("you made Chitanda cry!"). Something like that would be absolutely <em>delicious</em> to see, though of course other interpretations are also allowed! I'd just like it not to be angry irrational jealousy (ie: how dare you have guy/girl friends).
Things I'd love to see:
- The sort of relationship you barely know whether to tag as & or /
- Oreki and Chitanda being a little flustered around each other at all times, despite being very comfortable together
- A slice of life missing scene from the show, specifically on the last arc where they're very settled and comfortable around each other and actively seek to hang out together
- Pre-relationship OR exes to lovers (they broke up due to distance or something like that, but never really got over each other)
- Oreki reluctantly and awkwardly putting an effort into things of his own volition for her sake, when not too long ago he'd have simply said no (character development my beloved)
- If you're going for a smuttier lean on them, I only request that Chitanda has an active role in this and takes charge
- Small divergences from canon where X or Y scene went slightly differently and resulted in additional interactions between them (for example, the doll festival arc and someone assuming the two of them are dating, or Satoshi coming clean to Chitanda about Oreki actually threatening to punch him for her sake)
- Romantic gestures being REALLY subtle and not overt in the slightest, someone coming in from the outside should not be able to tell that that's what's happening but. They Know.
- Oreki having to lend Chitanda his sweater/jacket and being unable to deal with the sight of it
Art likes:
- Blushing, them being a little flustered around each other, avoiding each other's eyes while clearly wanting to get closer, alternatively Chitanda really getting into Oreki's space and him not knowing how to handle it
- Alphonse Mucha pastiche, art nouveau or tarot card aesthetic
- Canon scene redraws where they're close or interacting in fun ways
- Plant motif like Chitanda's hair in the beginning
- Colourful, light, gentle scenes
DNWs (more general):
- Scat, watersports, emetophilia
- Anything to do with pregnancy whatsoever
- Kid fic/art (characters as younger kids OR next gen/the characters having kids)
- Big time skips (both in regards to canon and within a fic (ie: "10 years later" epilogues, a couple years is fine if you're doing an exes to lovers route though))
- Unhappy endings (open/ambiguous endings are fine AND encouraged for this fandom)
- Slavery or sexual slavery
- Non-canon gender/sex/race changes to the characters
- Established relationship (with the exception of smut fics/art, but unestablished here is also preferred)
- Hard AUs (AUs which change entirely the setting/characters, such as mermaid/pirate AUs, space AUs, flower shop AUs, etc)
- Huge dramatic declarations of love
- Going into the hows and whys and backstory of a character's sexuality/gender/trauma/mental illness
- Non-canon rape/sexual abuse/trauma
- Cheating or infidelity of any sort, big jealousy scenes
- Flashback/nightmare/dream sequences
- A/B/O
- Any permanent character death
- A bit of angst is fine but I would rather it not be a huge focus
- Scenes that are novel-only, or manga-only scenes that haven't yet been translated to English online
