Dear High Adrenaline 2025 Creator,
Thank you so much for being part of this exchange! I’m looking forward to seeing what you create. Hopefully some of these sparks you and you have fun in the writing. Mix and match any of the likes you want, and my only hard lines are the DNWs. Fandom notes are at the bottom if you want to skip down.
DNWs:

1st or 2nd person POV
Anti-religion/Religion bashing
Major character death – unless part of reincarnation or afterlife AU
Unhappy endings
Abortion
Incest – ignoring the insanity of Ancient Greek mythological connections
Breakup/cheating/infidelity fics
MPreg
RPF – Using the FBI, NYPD, etc. is fine, but please don’t use CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc. and definitely no real people.
Police/cop bashing
Current politics or political issues
Trans headcanons
Slurs/Name calling (Pet names are perfectly fine though)
Violent non-con

Sensory deprivation
Dub-con
Trauma exploration/recovery
Biting/Marking
Extra likes – Strong alpha men that are wrapped around the fingers of the women they love. Protective men and women with sass. Dark, edgy characters who use that to protect the innocent and light. And I’m into women who are kickass – especially if it’s NOT in the physical sense. Give me the geniuses, the wise women, the counselors, or the homemakers who know it is the heart of the house that pulls the strings.
I have a MAJOR competence kink.
I’m not here for explicit sex, but for the character connections and relationships, so if you want to explore an asexual character, that works for me as well. I only ask that they’re physical in some way – all the cuddling, sensuality, hugging, etc. Touch is very, very important to me.
FANDOMS:
Hawkeye –
Clint/Kate and Clint & Kate are my current obsession. Clint Barton is my favorite Avenger, and I’ve grown to adore Kate as well. Neither of them has any special powers or suits or anything like that. They are two ordinary people who step up and become heroes because they have the guts to do what’s right. And they have to practice, work their ass off to stand with the big guys. Also, much as I love the artwork of the comics, I prefer Clint to be the efficient and intelligent secret agent & Avenger – please don’t let him be a disaster. I enjoy them on missions, undercover, or just plain being playful.
Harry Potter –
Sirius/Lily are my current HP obsession. I have no idea why these two work for me, but they do! I love the idea of the pure blood rebel and the Muggleborn genius becoming a unit, a force to be reckoned with. And I’d love to see an exploration of Wizarding culture, and the power of the House of Black – especially if they’re some kind of nobility. How would that work if the future Lady Black is Muggleborn? I also enjoy Lily stepping up as big sister for Regulus. And what if Sirius were Sorted into Slytherin?
Remus/Narcissa – Again, I love them for their opposite sides, and the sheer audacity of this pairing. I do enjoy the idea of mixing up the Houses. What if Remus had been Sorted into Slytherin? But that’s only one idea. Whatever you do, I’d love it if Remus stays brilliant and good at teaching
(I’m not a big fan of Severus or Dumbledore, so I don’t mind them being dubious. But I’m also not against them being good guys.)
Ancient Greece –
Hades/Persephone is my favorite pair in all of Greek myth. She’s so powerful as the Queen of the Dead, and he treats her as an equal. I prefer seeing them as deeply in love, and she hates being away from him just as much as he hates her being away.
Dionysus/Ariadne are another favorite, and I love the way he rescues her after she’s abandoned. Anything that shows him helping her recover from the trauma of that would be fantastic! For all that Dionysus is usually shown drunk, or mad, or spilling excess all over the place, I’d prefer to see other sides of him. (Through I’m good with drinking/getting drunk being involved!)

Thank you so much!
