General Likes:
While the freeforms are appreciated, you don’t need to use all of them - or even most of them! The prompts are suggestions, but if you get a better idea by all means, please follow that idea!
- Fairy tale motifs, biblical (as in Tanakh and Torah) motifs, mythological motifs in general. People turned into animals, riddles, things not being what they seem, things falling into patterns that we can recognize, even if it takes a little bit of time. Princesses and monsters and giants and talking animals, having to go on a journey but coming back.
- Characters bonding over domestic things (especially cooking/baking/grocery shopping/other things to do with food), characters arguing over domestic things, characters making up with each other with domestic things. People doing each other’s laundry as a sign of affection, people making food for each other as a sign of affection, or to show their annoyance, but they love them anyway.
- Transformation, especially wings/extra arms. Preferably with some horror, but not too much of the “snapping of bones” variety. “My body isn’t mine anymore/my body has changed” but not the visceral gooey bits of it, more the existential threat.
- Themes of things repeating, traditions, “we’ve done this before, but let’s try it again anyway, to see what works.”
- Casual genderfuckery - guys in skirts and girls in suits, and nobody cares, apart from possibly finding that particular person hot. No deep rumination on gender, just comfort in playing with it.
- People saying the wrong thing, then trying to fix it, and all parties not being perfect, but more or less muddling through. Characters reconciling after a long time apart.
- Little moments captured at certain times of day - late night cups of tea at the dinner table, watching the sunset while walking down the street, the quiet moment in a kitchen while a party is going on outside.
- Skin hungry characters finally being “fed” with platonic, romantic, or sexual touch.
- Long, meandering, organic conversations that go on tangents.
Food. I love cooking, I love lavish meal descriptions, characters planning foods, having favorite foods, making food for each other as a sign of affection or as a sign of annoyance (“I told you that if you didn’t stop whistling I’d make that casserole you hated, and here we are!”), food for romance, for apologies. People remembering their loved one’s favorites, or misremembering them. People cooking together - I will happily read lavish descriptions of yeast bubbling and tomatoes being chopped and all the other minutiae associated with cooking and food and the way people show they care with it!
Baking bread. More than anything else, I love making bread - I’d love to see characters learning how to do it, making mistakes, getting better, getting worse. Yeast blooming (or not blooming, as the case may be), the warm water. Something about things getting bigger, something about things resting, about the way you have to slow down when you make bread. The sensation of dough between your fingers, the stickiness against your fingers, the crunch of crust in your back teeth… I just. I like bread.
- Characters who are bad at being emotionally sincere trying very hard to do so.
- People at the beach - warm sand, the sun beating down, the quiet when it gets late, ice cream and sandwiches while sitting under a beach umbrella.
- Inclement weather. Snow, rain, thunderstorms. Characters getting caught up in it, characters taking shelter from it, characters getting ready to go out in it. I love the way the weather can set the scene.
- Isolation, real or imagined. The way an apartment late at night can feel like an island of light in the middle of a vast ocean, or being on an actual small boat on a vast ocean. Isolated cabins in the mountains, beach houses late at night, empty streets at the very end of the day. That sweet desolation you feel, looking over an empty space and it’s just you and the one you love.
- Places with personality. Old houses with a lot of rooms, towns that have history, forests that love you and also kind of want to eat you, the ocean that will tell you its secrets as it swallows you up.
- Pining that’s trying to be subtle but isn’t. People in denial about their own feelings, then giving in to them in private. People being embarrassed and happy and sad and complicated at being in love, platonically or romantically or in ways that even they aren’t sure about.
- Daemon AUs. Please give me all the people with their souls on the outside of their bodies as animals. People with daemons that make total sense, people with daemons that make everyone double take, daemons that are small enough to hide in someone’s sleeve, daemons that are big enough to lean on. Furry daemons that you can run your fingers through, daemons with fur that whispers against the skin. The intensity of someone else touching your daemon, or the intimacy of touching someone else’s.
- Non-monogamy. People loving each other deeply and hard in different ways. People understanding that you can’t be everything to one person, or people learning to understand it. People doing their relationships in the “wrong” order, but finding happiness. People not realizing they’re in love with multiple people and sorting it out, or finding the delight in it. Even if the focus is on two particular characters, background mentions of other lovers, knowing that there's always more behind the scenes.
Holidays & traditions, human ones or otherwise. Chocolates in heart shaped boxes on Valentines Day, latkes on Hannukah, people sharing the things that make them happy, and creating new ones. Blending traditions together, or clashing over how to make them work, but making them work.
Smut Likes
- Face touching/holding, hand touching/holding. Sucking on fingers, shoving fingers into mouths, palms against cheeks, tracing someone’s profile with the tip of a finger, thumbs pressed into dimples.
- Focus on mouths - cunnilingus, sucking dick, sucking on toes, leaving hickeys. Biting, especially in unexpected places (faces, calves). Long, deep kisses, the kind of making out that leaves the head spinning.
- Awkward, first time sex, whether for the first time ever or the first time with another person or with this particular person. Two people who aren’t necessarily good at it, but enthusiastic. Fumbling first time masturbation, first kisses that start out spitty and end up toe curlingly good.
- Wingkink, extra limbs. Inhuman bodies being explored by the original body’s owners, or else by someone else who wants to explore them. Especially when it's angelic - multiple faces, fiery wings, things like that.
- Moments of sweetness in sadism, moments of sadism in sweetness. A kiss on the cheek before slapping the face, fingernails raking down someone’s thighs as you suck on their clit.
- Silliness/jokes while sex is happening, especially when it’s lampshaded. Sex is weird and funny, so why not laugh about it?
- Clothes sharing, clothing fetishes. Characters kinking on wearing someone's clothing, smelling it, fantasizing about getting caught jerking off in it.
- People being horny. Squirming in seats, pressing thighs together. Wet spots and hard nipples, biting lips and fidgeting. People noticing other people's bodies in horny ways - seeing the curve of a breast under a shirt and imagining grabbing it, daydreaming about what someone's fingers would feel like inside them as they watch someone write, or grinding against someone's thigh as you watch them cross their legs. Especially if the horny person is embarrassed by it, or the object of their affection notices and teases them.
- Groping and grabbing, women covertly feeling other women up. Hands that brush against a breast, across someone’s ass, first accidentally, than a bit more deliberately. The grope-ee staying quiet, letting themselves be touched. Maybe they’re actively encouraging it, wearing shorter skirts or lower cut shirts. Women taking pleasure in other women’s bodies, by jiggling breasts or pinching asses, making her come in her pants.
- Cannibalism and gore. Trusting someone to put their hands in your guts, loving someone that you want to have them inside you forever. The longing to consume or be consumed, to share your deepest, ugliest parts.
- PIning. Teenage girls who have crushes on their teachers or mentors, idolizing them, blushing and stuttering and trying to impress them.
- Anal. I just really, really love anal. A lot.
- Older women in authority taking advantage of younger women under their authority.
- Omegaverse with female characters. Ladies with knotting cocks, ladies going into heat. Women impregnating other women, women fawning over their pregnant girlfriends. Scenting, growling, marking each other. Heats that result in nests, nurturing Alphas and possessive omegas. Characters embarrassed about their instincts, but going along with them anyway.

Melanie Bush/Ace McShane
I really adore these two - their chemistry in Dragonfire is honestly off the charts. I’d love to see fic from the early days - maybe an AU where Mel stuck around instead of going with Glitz (I’m good with Ace still being underage, or you can age her up if you’re uncomfortable with that). I’m also comfortable with the time after Glitz (ala the audios, or your own continuity). I really love the way they’re so different but so similar at the same time? They both want more of the universe, and they’re both stubborn and kind and brave, they just approach things very differently, and seeing the ways they clash or team up would be fun. I’m also perfectly happy if you just wanted to write some cute TARDIS bonding (maybe they watch a movie together, or Mel has a craving for something that’s not carrot juice? I’m not picky!). I would also love a situation where Mel ends up surprising Ace with her own badassery - I feel like Mel tends to get dismissed a good deal, and seeing her subvert expectations would be a ton of fun. If you’re in the mood for smut, I’d really love to see Mel topping/domming Ace, although it’d be fun in either direction. I’ve got a special place in my heart for the idea of Mel being Ace’s first (intead of Glitz, which is a little bit of word of god I choose to ignore, but it can be twisted for some fun, at least!).
Melanie Bush/Seventh Doctor
These two aren’t a ship I’ve done much with, but I really love their chemistry. I really love the… comfort between the two of them, for lack of a better way of putting it. The fact that he trusts her, since she helped save him during the business with the Trial, or how she was there for him when he first regenerated. Maybe something after they part ways, and run into each other again? Or more at home at the TARDIS stuff - I really love seeing stuff in the TARDIS, and all the little bits of domesticity that comes along with them. I’m a sucker for how affectionate he is with Mel - the bit in Time and the Rani, where he presses their foreheads together? Always makes me turn to goo, it’s so sweet. There’s also his goodbye speech to her, and the general feeling that they’re just so… fond. I would love to see the ways you could expand on it! It’s a fun ship, although it’s still fairly new to me. I’d love to see where you can go with it!
Melanie Bush/Sixth Doctor
I absolutely love these two together. Some of it is just based on the aesthetic, I’ll admit. He is so tall and she is so short. (Unrelatedly, if you read the Terror of the Vervoids novelization, you will notice that ye gods do they bring attention to her height a lot). I really love how much he cares about her, and the slight pigtail pulling the two of them tend to engage in - there’s a nature of fun teasing going back and forth, and i’d love to see the ways you could play with it. I will request that Mel doesn’t make any comments on his appearance/weight, but otherwise, I’m good with just about anything!
Peri Brown/Fifth Doctor
I’ll admit, we don’t get to see a lot of these two on screen, but I really dig what we did see. They have a really sweet chemistry, and I’ve always headcanoned that the two of them had a whole bunch of adventures between Planet of Fire and Caves of Androzoni. If you’d like to draw from the audios, I’d be cool with that, or if you want to go with your own headcanons, I’d be cool with that too! I’d mostly just love to see more of the two of them - they’re a fun little duo, and I’d love to get to spend more time with them!
Seventh Doctor/Ace McShane
I absolutely adore these two. They’re so codependent, and they love each other so much, and they’re both so good for each other and so bad for each other. I could rhapsodize about them for days (I even wrote a ship manifesto!), and I would love just about anything that involves that weird, complicated grey area they both inhabit together. I really love the way that she clearly wants to be useful for hm, and he hates that he uses her - but he still does. I love the fact that she’s stronger than he is (physically) but he’s smarter than her (except when he’s not). I’d love anything where she very explicitly wants him - sexually, romantically, whatever. I just. I love them so much, and cannot wait to see where you might go with them!

Melanie Bush/Hebe Harrison
Sixth Doctor/Hebe Harrison
Ace McShane/Thomas "Hex" Schofield
Lucie Miller/Charley Pollard
Sixth Doctor/Charley Pollard
Valarie Lockwood/The Doctor’s TARDIS
I wasn’t expecting to fall half as hard for Valarie as I did - I got her box set on a lark, and came out of it madly in love. I feel like she would have a particularly interesting relationship with the TARDIS, as a cyborg. I really dig the fact that she’s an engineer - I feel like her approach to the TARDIS would be a lot different from the other companions. I’d adore seeing her getting to discover all the nice… luxuries that come from not living from a company store, for lack of a better way of putting it. I would also really love something exploring some of her grief, since so much of that particular box set is about grief - maybe the TARDIS creates a room that’s identical to the one she shared with her mom, or she finds something that reminds her of her mother? I’m not super picky, regardless! If you’d like to go smutty, I’d love to see something on the weirder end of things - maybe something involving “interfacing” with Valarie’s cyborg parts and the TARDIS? Or maybe something completely different - I’m open minded, I’d just love to see more Valarie fic!
Melanie Bush/Hebe Harrison
Hebe is another character that I did not expect to fall so hard for. I really love the way that Hebe and Mel get on - in their first set, the two of them kind of butting heads (mostly with Hebe pulling Mel’s pigtails), or in the second set, where they’re much closer. We don’t know what’s going to happen after Chronomancer, but I’d really love to see your take on it - or maybe something where Pat catches on to their relationship? I’d also love, like, early days - something with Hebe having a crush, or Mel being awkward… I’m super not picky, in all honesty- just about anything with the two of them would make my day. I love the idea of seeing Mel getting past Hebe’s snarky exterior, and the idea of Hebe getting to see Mel’s more playful, snarky side herself. Heck, I’d even love to see the culture shock, since Hebe is from the 2020s and Mel is from the eighties! I am not picky, I just love them, a whole bunch!
Sixth Doctor/Hebe Harrison
These two have really good chemistry as well - I stil love that part in The Rotting Deep, where they both say “There’s no such thing as a seagull!” at the same time, or the time that she starts geting excited after comparing him to a nudibranch. I love the fact that she pulls his pigtails to the degree that she does, but he also clearly holds her in such high regard. He loves how clever and how brash she is, and she’s clearly very fond of him. I’d really love to see where you could go with the two of them - it feels like any kind of romantic stuff with them would be very push-pull. I could also see her topping the SHIT out of him, which I am all for! (Although if you want to go in the opposite directio, that would be fun too!).
Ace McShane/Thomas "Hex" Schofield
These two surprised me with how hard I ended up shipping them, although I shouldn’t be, in retrospect. I really love how much Hex clearly admires her - I could tell he already had a crush on her by the time we hit the end of The Harvest, and I’d love to see the places where you could go with them. I would prefer a fic before his timeline got particular… gnarly (thinking of the business with Hector, specirficiall), and I’d prefer it to be less angsty. If you feel like going smutty, I’d really love something where he’s very clearly into it, and she’s both into it and into the fact that he’s into it, if that makes sense. Also will request at least one “oh my god,” because it doesn’t feel like Hex without ‘em!
Lucie Miller/Charley Pollard
Lucie and Charley never meet (... I think), but I feel like they’d get on like a house on fire. Both in that they’d like each other very much, and that there would be a good deal of screaming and running from observers. I would love to see the culture clash of Lucie’s… well, Lucie-ness, which is so very based on her time (could she be an more 2006 if she tried?), and the fact that they both came about adventuring in such different ways. The contrast of Charley (who was madly in love with 8 and basically volunteered herself to come with him) and Lucie (who didn’t have a say in the matter and dragged her feet the whole way) is just a delight to me, honestly? I’d love to see them running into each other and going… well, wherever you can think of!
Sixth Doctor/Charley Pollard
Six and Charley have the kind of complicated painful pining sort of set up that I could eat up with a spoon and ask for seconds. He clearly adores her (how adventurous she is, how brave, how kind), but he’s also clearly pulling his hair out about all the things she isn’t telling him. She, for her part, misses 8, but I feel like she’s developing her own feelings for him as well - I’d love to see some exploration of that. The feeling of falling in love with someone else who’s also the person who you do love, the contrast between them… they’re such a knotty, strange pairing and I’d love to see wherever you could go with it, whether it’s smutty or fluffy or bittersweet… I am not picky, although I will request it be less on the angsty side, please.
Doctor Who (2005)
Ace McShane/Yasmin Khan
Ace McShane/Yasmin Khan
I walked out of Power of the Doctor shipping these two like burning. I really love the dynamic of them - “I’m you, from the past”, and the clear longing that Yaz has for the Doctor. I’d love something where Yaz has some flavor of “I didn’t take my chance when I had the chance, so now I can’t miss out” while pursuing Ace. Maybe Ace is into the age gap? Maybe she sees some of her former self in Yaz, or her current self - maybe Yaz sees some kind of future? I will request no describing of Ace and 7 as a parent child relationship, please, but otherwise… I’m really not picky. I think that we know, if nothing else, that Yaz has a thing for older women, and I can see that Ace would get a kick out of Yaz’s adventurous spirit and bravery. I’d love to see where you could go with them, and I just know it’ll be good!

I absolutely love these two together. Some of it is just based on the aesthetic, I’ll admit. He is so tall and she is so short. (Unrelatedly, if you read the Terror of the Vervoids novelization, you will notice that ye gods do they bring attention to her height a lot). I really love how much he cares about her, and the slight pigtail pulling the two of them tend to engage in - there’s a nature of fun teasing going back and forth, and i’d love to see the ways you could play with it. I will request that Mel doesn’t make any comments on his appearance/weight, but otherwise, I’m good with just about anything!
Peri Brown/Fifth Doctor
I’ll admit, we don’t get to see a lot of these two on screen, but I really dig what we did see. They have a really sweet chemistry, and I’ve always headcanoned that the two of them had a whole bunch of adventures between Planet of Fire and Caves of Androzoni. If you’d like to draw from the audios, I’d be cool with that, or if you want to go with your own headcanons, I’d be cool with that too! I’d mostly just love to see more of the two of them - they’re a fun little duo, and I’d love to get to spend more time with them!
Seventh Doctor/Ace McShane
I absolutely adore these two. They’re so codependent, and they love each other so much, and they’re both so good for each other and so bad for each other. I could rhapsodize about them for days (I even wrote a ship manifesto!), and I would love just about anything that involves that weird, complicated grey area they both inhabit together. I really love the way that she clearly wants to be useful for hm, and he hates that he uses her - but he still does. I love the fact that she’s stronger than he is (physically) but he’s smarter than her (except when he’s not). I’d love anything where she very explicitly wants him - sexually, romantically, whatever. I just. I love them so much, and cannot wait to see where you might go with them!

Valarie Lockwood/The Doctor’s TARDIS
I wasn’t expecting to fall half as hard for Valarie as I did - I got her box set on a lark, and came out of it madly in love. I feel like she would have a particularly interesting relationship with the TARDIS, as a cyborg. I really dig the fact that she’s an engineer - I feel like her approach to the TARDIS would be a lot different from the other companions. I’d adore seeing her getting to discover all the nice… luxuries that come from not living from a company store, for lack of a better way of putting it. I would also really love something exploring some of her grief, since so much of that particular box set is about grief - maybe the TARDIS creates a room that’s identical to the one she shared with her mom, or she finds something that reminds her of her mother? I’m not super picky, regardless! If you’d like to go smutty, I’d love to see something on the weirder end of things - maybe something involving “interfacing” with Valarie’s cyborg parts and the TARDIS? Or maybe something completely different - I’m open minded, I’d just love to see more Valarie fic!
Melanie Bush/Hebe Harrison
Hebe is another character that I did not expect to fall so hard for. I really love the way that Hebe and Mel get on - in their first set, the two of them kind of butting heads (mostly with Hebe pulling Mel’s pigtails), or in the second set, where they’re much closer. We don’t know what’s going to happen after Chronomancer, but I’d really love to see your take on it - or maybe something where Pat catches on to their relationship? I’d also love, like, early days - something with Hebe having a crush, or Mel being awkward… I’m super not picky, in all honesty- just about anything with the two of them would make my day. I love the idea of seeing Mel getting past Hebe’s snarky exterior, and the idea of Hebe getting to see Mel’s more playful, snarky side herself. Heck, I’d even love to see the culture shock, since Hebe is from the 2020s and Mel is from the eighties! I am not picky, I just love them, a whole bunch!
Sixth Doctor/Hebe Harrison
These two have really good chemistry as well - I stil love that part in The Rotting Deep, where they both say “There’s no such thing as a seagull!” at the same time, or the time that she starts geting excited after comparing him to a nudibranch. I love the fact that she pulls his pigtails to the degree that she does, but he also clearly holds her in such high regard. He loves how clever and how brash she is, and she’s clearly very fond of him. I’d really love to see where you could go with the two of them - it feels like any kind of romantic stuff with them would be very push-pull. I could also see her topping the SHIT out of him, which I am all for! (Although if you want to go in the opposite directio, that would be fun too!).
Ace McShane/Thomas "Hex" Schofield
These two surprised me with how hard I ended up shipping them, although I shouldn’t be, in retrospect. I really love how much Hex clearly admires her - I could tell he already had a crush on her by the time we hit the end of The Harvest, and I’d love to see the places where you could go with them. I would prefer a fic before his timeline got particular… gnarly (thinking of the business with Hector, specirficiall), and I’d prefer it to be less angsty. If you feel like going smutty, I’d really love something where he’s very clearly into it, and she’s both into it and into the fact that he’s into it, if that makes sense. Also will request at least one “oh my god,” because it doesn’t feel like Hex without ‘em!
Lucie Miller/Charley Pollard
Lucie and Charley never meet (... I think), but I feel like they’d get on like a house on fire. Both in that they’d like each other very much, and that there would be a good deal of screaming and running from observers. I would love to see the culture clash of Lucie’s… well, Lucie-ness, which is so very based on her time (could she be an more 2006 if she tried?), and the fact that they both came about adventuring in such different ways. The contrast of Charley (who was madly in love with 8 and basically volunteered herself to come with him) and Lucie (who didn’t have a say in the matter and dragged her feet the whole way) is just a delight to me, honestly? I’d love to see them running into each other and going… well, wherever you can think of!
Sixth Doctor/Charley Pollard
Six and Charley have the kind of complicated painful pining sort of set up that I could eat up with a spoon and ask for seconds. He clearly adores her (how adventurous she is, how brave, how kind), but he’s also clearly pulling his hair out about all the things she isn’t telling him. She, for her part, misses 8, but I feel like she’s developing her own feelings for him as well - I’d love to see some exploration of that. The feeling of falling in love with someone else who’s also the person who you do love, the contrast between them… they’re such a knotty, strange pairing and I’d love to see wherever you could go with it, whether it’s smutty or fluffy or bittersweet… I am not picky, although I will request it be less on the angsty side, please.

Ace McShane/Yasmin Khan
Ace McShane/Yasmin Khan
I walked out of Power of the Doctor shipping these two like burning. I really love the dynamic of them - “I’m you, from the past”, and the clear longing that Yaz has for the Doctor. I’d love something where Yaz has some flavor of “I didn’t take my chance when I had the chance, so now I can’t miss out” while pursuing Ace. Maybe Ace is into the age gap? Maybe she sees some of her former self in Yaz, or her current self - maybe Yaz sees some kind of future? I will request no describing of Ace and 7 as a parent child relationship, please, but otherwise… I’m really not picky. I think that we know, if nothing else, that Yaz has a thing for older women, and I can see that Ace would get a kick out of Yaz’s adventurous spirit and bravery. I’d love to see where you could go with them, and I just know it’ll be good!
