Candy Hearts exchange letter

goseawardHello lovely writer! Thanks so much for writing for me! My dreamwidth page here is mostly dear-writer letters, so please feel free to peruse letters from previous exchanges. If I've requested these ships before, I'll still be interested in past prompts and ideas. DNWs change with my mood, so you only need to consult this exchange's list.
I don't usually need to edit a letter, but in case I do add some clarification: the last time I updated this letter was 1/7/2025.
In general, I tend to like fics with a lot of one-on-one time between the main pairing or main friendship. Last time I did the fanfic trope sorter, my top 5 were "seemingly unrequited pining", "enemies to friends to lovers", "snowed-in cabin", "A/B/O", and "daemons" (with friends to lovers at #6). I don't use the AO3 bookmarking function, but I post recs on this DW under the recs tag if you'd like to see the kinds of fics I've liked in the past. I'm also a huge nerd and like really specific information so if you've been looking for an excuse to, say, write an AU where you give a character your very specific job, here's your chance! Alternate universes, by the way, are great. I don't generally favor character crossovers, but please feel free to shift worlds all you want.
I also like the supporting characters in all of these works, so feel free to include as large a cast as you like. I'm happy with any rating; if explicit, fine with anything from the fluffiest vanilla fluff to serious kink. The top part here is stuff about my general likes, and for ease of bookmarking, I copied prompts from my signup below.
Smut/kink loves, in no particular order: D/s, bondage, anal sex, lots of kissing, size kink (one partner much bigger than the other), size kink (big dick), stretching/large object penetration, double penetration, fisting, sounding, edging, consensual exhibitionism (other person(s) WANT to watch), stuff with mirrors, morning sex, people being overwhelmed by sex, laughter during sex, people being so desperate for sex they (for example) use bad lube or don't make it all the way to the bed. People being practical; people happily accommodating unexpected needs or requests from their partners. Sex tutoring (let me teach you exactly how to touch me). First times, including virgins, but also established relationships where they know how to do that thing their partner loves already. I have also totally been incepted into new kinks by fic, so this list has room for expansion :)
General DNWs: Major character death, child death, amnesia/memory issues, non-negotiated infidelity, humiliation, polyamory in the main pairing unless requested by a specific prompt (background pairings/moresomes are fine), crossovers (including between series by the same author that are not canonically linked) unless requested by a specific prompt, and kidfic or pregnancy fic (incidental children are fine, just not fic that focuses on parenting or child care).
Smut/kink DNWs: breathplay, tickling, permanent injury, body modification as part of or for the purpose of sex, bound people left alone, blood, watersports or other bodily wastes.
A Charm of Magpies Series - KJ Charles
Stephen Day/Lucien Vaudrey
More of canon or extensions of canon are great. (What are they up to now that they've left England?) I feel like these two would be great for AUs, too. All of Stephen's friends giving him shit for dating Obnoxious Wealthy Gay Lucien Crane in college, for example? Stephen caught in the Lavender Scare? Or Lucien in Stephen in some other magical universe where Stephen has magic that is in some way aided by Lucien's non-magic self?
The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison
Thara Celehar/Iäna Pel-Thenhior
I have a Need, and that need is for Thara to get a hug from someone who loves him.
The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series
Camilla Hect & Palamedes Sextus, Camilla Hect/Palamedes Sextus, Harrowhark Nonagesimus & Palamedes Sextus
Whatever you think Camilla & Palamedes have going on, I'd love to see more of it. We also didn't get nearly enough of Harrowhark and Palamedes being big ol' nerds together, so I'd love to see some scenes (either interstitial or AU) where they get to do that.
For obvious reasons, the character death DNWs do not apply to this request.
Lilywhite Boys Series - K. J. Charles
Jerry Crozier & Templeton Lane, Jerry Crozier/Alec Pyne-ffoulkes, John Garland/Barnaby Littimer & Jerry Crozier
I'm having a big Jerry moment as I reread this book, so more Jerry in my life would be wonderful, whether it's doting on/kinking with Alec, causing havoc with Temp, or terrifying the life out of John and Barnaby (or any combination of the above). I feel like these characters would also be fun in other heist-type AU settings.
Running Close to the Wind - Alexandra Rowland
Teveri az-Haffar/Avra Helvaci/Julian
One book was not enough. Possibly ten books would not be enough.
The Turner Series - Cat Sebastian
Charlotte Montbray/Anne Sutherland, Edward Standish/Eleanor Standish, Lord Courtenay & Eleanor Standish
All relationships I thought we didn't get enough of on-page! But that is what fic is for. Charlotte and Anne's life now that they're free? What do Edward and Eleanor get up to, now that they've reconciled and have years to catch up on? What do Lord Courtenay & Eleanor do when they're hanging out? I would enjoy it all!
The Tithenai Chronicles - Foz Meadows
Asrien bo Erat/Naza Karai
This relationship was like catnip to me. Kinda messed up, consent issues, but kinks I like. I'd eat more with a spoon.
