Dear Fluffity Fluff 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.
Please note – any additional tags I pick under any fandom can be used across all fandoms. I’m doing a grab bag of picks, and if I pick one, then I like reading it. Feel free to play around with them, especially if they spark some major inspiration for you.
DNWs:
AI generated content
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)

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:
MCU –
Clint/Kate or Clint & Kate – I love these two in any combination and any level of relationship. Clint 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.
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!).
Emelan –
Trisana/Briar or Trisana & Briar – These two are my favorite characters from this series. Given the patience one needs to cultivate in order to work with plants, I could see Briar being one of the few people truly able to reach Tris. She’s such a prickly character, but it hides so many questions about her self-worth. Personally I prefer the first quartet of books. I enjoy the other characters as well, so I wouldn’t mind cameos.
Harry Potter – Sirius/Lily are my favorites, but I also love the idea of Remus/Narcissa. Opposites attract is a trope I love, can we tell? 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? 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.)
Chronicles of Narnia – Peter/Jill – These two have always intrigued me. Peter’s the king, and Jill’s the only one of the younger Friends of Narnia who isn’t related to him. I could see his sense of responsibility leading him to take a particular interest in her. I’m open to something happening after they all return from Narnia, or some kind of divergence that leads them all to be in Narnia at the same time. Explorations about Narnia’s Golden Age culture OR these changed kids trying to reintegrate back into regular society . . . all of it would be wonderful.
Thank you so much!
