Dear Author,

It's been a few years since I've been able to participate in this exchange and I've missed it! I am generally quite easy to please so long as you avoid my DNWs, so I hope you enjoy writing a fic for me!

I've got a bunch of different pairings/OT3s with different preferences for each. The one thing that I most want for all of them is that the requested pairing/OT3 fall in love by the end of the story (if they aren't in love already) and a reasonably happy ending. By "reasonably" happy, I mean, the situation around them can be kind of dark, but they're together and that's what matters.

The first most important DNW is: infidelity. I am just not here for that.

I'm totally fine with people having pasts in which they loved/were with/were married to other people but by the time the characters get together, I want them both to be single. Or, in the case of an OT3 where two thirds of the characters are married to each other, they both need to be enthusiastic about inviting a third member into the relationship.

Some other DNWS:

+ PWP. Porn is fine, I just don't want the porn to be all the fic is. And porn is in no way necessary--you can write the most rated G fic ever if you like. I love all ratings equally.
+ Instalove/love at first sight (for anyone other Wangxian--infatuation at first site is okay for them--or Peter falling in love with Harriet because canon). As an ace person, it's super important to me that characters actually know each other before they fall in love.
+ Modern AUs of historical/fantasy fandoms. Canon divergence/what ifs are amazing, though, and if you want to twist the setting a little bit (giving Hodel magical powers or making Lan Wangji emperor or something), go for it. I just do not want to read about any of these historical/fantasy characters working in a coffee shop.
+ Major character deaths (unless someone comes back to life à la Wei Wuxian)
+ Character bashing
+ Unmitigated fluff (some fluff is fine! But I'd like some deeper feelings to dig into.)
+ Onscreen noncon
+ Focus on babies/children
+ Watersports/scat
+ BDSM outside the bedroom


General likes: angst, especially if it ends happily; getting together; hurt/comfort; mutual pining; in character characters; complicated relationships between women; good worldbuilding; longfic; outsider povs; location/setting as character; political intrigue; forced proximity; good people trying to do the right thing; bad people trying to do the right thing; found families; siblings; porn with feelings; character A having to rescue/defend character B; total devotion/us against the world dynamics. I also love the other characters in these canons, so bringing them into the fic in large supporting roles is great!

Now onto the requests.

Btw: I love treats, so anyone who sees this and is inspired, please feel free to treat away!

Here's the fic I wrote for the Hurt Comfort Exchange! Can't believe it took me almost ten years to write OT3 fic for this fandom!

Fic: go on, take care of business (for me, for me, for me)
Fandom: The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015)
Characters/Pairings: Illya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo/Gaby Teller
Rating: T
Wordcount: 5,490
Summary: They’ve still got fifty-seven minutes before the helicopter is scheduled to arrive when Gaby realizes that Illya’s hand is twitching.

A mission gone wrong (is there any other kind?) and the aftermath.

Yay, we can talk about Remix now!

It somehow never occurred to me when I signed up for the Remix that I might get assigned someone who only writes modern AUs...when I have zero interest in writing modern AUs. I momentarily panicked!

But fortunately, the author whose work I was assigned is a marvelous writer who focuses on emotional beats, and I discovered I could take those emotional beats and put them back in the canon setting and they would still work. It turned out to be a ton of fun!

So here's my Remix entry:

Title: winter's dispute against your heart's heat
Remix of: give up your shape to the falling snow
Fandom: The Untamed
Characters/Pairings: Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji
Rating: T
Wordcount: 7,319
Additional tags: post-canon, angst with a happy ending, hurt/comfort
Warnings: suicidal ideation, mild non-sexual pet play
Summary: As the bitterest cold took hold, there were times when he walked through the main street of a village and not one person returned his smile. One morning, bleary from a night of little sleep (the ground too hard, the air too cold) and faint from lack of food (when was the last time he had eaten?), he walked right between a pair of bundled-up laborers, close enough to smell the ripeness of their bodies even in the sharp air, and neither of them even looked at him. A hazy thought floated to the surface of his mind: Am I invisible?

In the depths of winter, Wei Wuxian turns towards Gusu.

Dear World Builder,

Apologies that this wasn't completed when the assignments went out.

I am so excited about this exchange! Thank you for agreeing to write something for me! I absolutely love worldbuilding, so I am certain that anything you end up writing will make me very happy. Feel free to follow your muse and be as creative as you want to be! For all of them I would adore either fanfiction of the more convention variety or in-universe meta--or a blend of both, whatever you prefer! In the same vein, I am also open to you using characters from the canons or creating original characters or not having any characters at all. Any of those will be great, provided the point is exploring the worlds more deeply.

Dear Candy Hearts Author,

Hello and thank you for writing something for me! I really hope you enjoy writing these characters we both love!

My theme this year is OT3s (and Dasey, because I am incapable of seeing them nominated for an exchange and not requesting them) and the important thing to know is that I want all the members of the OT3 to love each other equally. They can love each other differently, but I would truly hate if one of the characters (especially the woman) was neglected or downplayed. I want equal investment in all three members and their relationships to each other!

However, I am sure that won't be an issue if you signed up to write for these particular OT3s! For all the OT3s, I would be particularly interested in either getting together fic or something that grapples with "how does this relationship work in practice?" but please do feel free to follow your muse wherever it leads you.

Dear author,

I'm so excited to participate in this particular exchange! I think I will be easy to please, so while I've included a few prompts and thoughts about what I like generally in each fandom, I do want to encourage you to follow where your muse takes you. In my experience, writing is the most rewarding part of participating in an exchange, and I hope you feel that way about writing for me. Thank you for loving one of my fandoms!
