My plan is to put everything here so that whoever's assigned to me has everything in one place. Also if I get any questions via email or in the comments, I will add answers and clarifications to this post.

My preference right now is for some version of my crossover polycule or Ptilly, being the things that are least common to find fic for, but I realise they're kinda niche.

 

~~~

 

If I mention a ship as a DNW, you can use it as a past or ending relationship if it helps the plot, but if I mention it, I dislike the ship enough I really don't care to see it "on screen".

 

Feel free to mix and match franchises, whether that's time travel shenanigans or AUs or whatever other reason you can come up with to put the combo you like on screen together. I absolutely fucking love crossovers between the franchises! My favourite characters from various franchises are listed towards the end (DS9 onwards). I've made requests for Disco, Voyager and Star Trek Crossover, but I have lots of favourite characters and ships outside those fandoms if you want to bring other franchises in, and I've given loads of examples of what I like!

 

If you need clarification, feel free to comment here on anon or ask questions via the mods. I did my best, but I'm painfully aware that I ramble and it's been A Week.

MAIN FANDOM PROMPTS
 

~~~

 

Star Trek Crossover Fandom:

 

Chakotay/Pike/Janeway/Tilly, in really any combination, is my beloved crossover polycule 🤣 listen I have no chill. Weird time travel, post canon, massive AU, or just pretend that they're in the same time frame, I don't at all mind if you're smushing them together somehow.

 

I will also be happy with any relationship within this polycule; it started because I love CJ but also really enjoyed Kathryn with Chris, Chris/Chakotay was a dark horse "oh they really work" ship, then I got caught by the Ptilly bug, and was like how would Tilly relate to Kathryn and Chakotay, so I'm genuinely open to all iterations here, there are no "eh not into it" options I can think of.

 

Also while I don't know Disco well beyond S2, I do know Tilly ends up safely in the future, so if you want her to have had experiences there and then travel back to be a part of this? That 100% works for me, and I have read and loved multiple fics based around that possibility.

 

Any of the potential couples or OT3s? Awesome. I'm also here for a specific relationship being in the foreground with polycule stuff happening in the background, pre-relationship fics, or with a polycule where they're dating in various iterations not as a whole foursome, or just taking whichever are your favourites and having fun with that and ignoring the rest; I struggle to think of a version of "some selection of these people are in a relationship and it's cute" where I'd be disappointed, so go where the muse takes you.

 

(Also here for past Julian/Chakotay, long since had a little headcanon where they met and had a ridiculously tender one night stand on DS9 before Chakotay headed off into the badlands.)

 

specific related DNW: Tilly being called Sylvia except in official contexts, C7, Pike just not giving a shit that Tilly is an ensign if she's still in his chain of command, excessive amounts of Neelix, specific story spoilers beyond S2 of Disco (I have met and love Book and Grudge)

 

~~~

Discovery:

 

Pike/Tilly my accidental brain rot. Friends, flirt buddies, fellow nerds, romance, ambiguous, all of the above.

 

I also love the platonic relationships on the ship; Tilly makes everyone better so if you want to throw in her being amazing in that respect, go for it ðŸ˜‚ also fucking adore Saru, and the Michael/Spock sibling dynamic is great.

 

specific related DNW: Tilly being called Sylvia except in official contexts, Chris just not giving a fuck that she's an ensign (I do think you can find ways to make a relationship on the ship credible, but if he's just like 'no big deal' about it, it breaks his character for me, I simply don't believe he wouldn't care)

 

Please note that I've only seen seasons 1&2 in their entirety, so characters/plots beyond that, please don't spoil. I have "met" Book and Grudge and if you're doing some AU where their presence wouldn't be spoilery, I love them both already and you're welcome to bring them on board. Tilly/Grudge friendship? Gimme ðŸ¤£

 

~~~

 

Voyager:

 

I'm a classicist, I love me some CJ, platonic, romantic, sexual, ambiguous, a secret fifth option that is some combination of the above.

 

Team as family is lovely in Voyager; if you want to throw in background relationships I love any combo of Harry/Tom/B'Elanna. I also really love Tuvok, he's my favourite Vulcan, and his friendship with Kathryn is *chef kiss* Naomi Wildman is one of my favourite child characters ever and if you ever wanted to throw in a Naomi & Seven scene, I'd love it.

 

(Also here for past Julian/Chakotay, long since had a little headcanon where they met and had a ridiculously tender one night stand on DS9 before Chakotay headed off into the badlands.)

 

specific related DNW: C7, too much screen time for Neelix

OTHER FANDOM LIKES ETC

~~~
 

DS9:

 

Garashir in any form is my best beloved and my preference for this fandom!

 

I do also have a soft spot for Julian/Jadzia, not as endgame but as a past relationship or stop along the way, bonus points if Jadzia calls out his massive Garak crush 🤣 but I also love them as FWB or a meaningful relationship that just wasn't meant to last but they come out of as friends

 

Fucking adore Sisko (and have a soft spot for Jake, their father/son vibe, and for Ben's relationship with Kasidy) other faves include Jadzia and Kira

 

(Also here for past Julian/Chakotay, long since had a little headcanon where they met and had a ridiculously tender one night stand on DS9 before Chakotay headed off into the badlands.)

 

specific related DNW: Julian/Ezri, Garak/Ziyal

 

~~~

 

SNW:

 

I don't really have a specific ship I am that into on SNW as to request them, but I really love the characters; if you can swing it in some way, bringing SNW characters into any fic is a plus for me. I'd also be okay with you bringing other franchise characters onto Pike's Enterprise if that works for your story.

 

Favourites besides Pike (duh) are Joseph, Una, Nyota, Pelia, Scotty, La'an, Kirk. Probably the closest thing I have to a pure SNW ship is Kirk/La'an, not to the point of requesting it as the main focus, but if you wanna include that, I'm good with it. If you want to go polycule then my favourite Pike ships in this fandom are probably Joseph and Una, though I don't really want them as a focus. I like alllll the platonic relationships between the main cast, and I think Chris in particular lends himself to ambiguous relationships because his love and care and affection for everyone is so palpable that he rides that edge of looking like it could be romantic or sexual even though it's not really intended that way.

 

specific related DNW: Pike/Batel as anything more than friends, any particular focus on her

 

~~~

Actual Crossover Fandom:

 

This is not a proper request because it isn't what I'd want the main thrust of the fic to be, but if you want to include characters from beloved fandoms (see: my AO3, I'm flootzavut everywhere) for your concept, I'm here for it.

 

Doctor Who & related fandom characters especially welcome (favourites include Ten, Donna, Jack Harkness, the TARDIS) since they're very fun to put into this 'verse, but don't feel constrained to that. If you can make it work for your story, be my guest!

 

 

~~~

 

Other franchises and fandoms

 

Mentioned fandoms are things where there's not a scenario or ship where I'm desperate to see it, so I don't want to make specific prompts, but I'm also open to settings or characters from them or shows you know I love (see my AO3) popping up in a fic despite that, so while they're not in my official prompts, they're included in my letter for that purpose.

 

I also don't really have any major hates from elsewhere in the franchise, so if you just absolutely have to steal someone from TNG or ENT or wherever, then please do so. Also unless otherwise mentioned, you can assume I at least do not actively hate anyone in the shows I'm requesting.

 

Faves outside my requests and SNW/DS9 include Riker, Troi (junior and senior), Guinan, Trip, Malcolm, Porthos, Spot, any version of Uhura, Bones, Bev, Picard, Q off the top of my head. If you have a desperate need to use someone I haven't mentioned, you can double check, but there's a good 95% chance I'll be fine with whoever it is.

I'm lowkey convinced most of Starfleet is just one sprawling polycule of quasi familial relationships, QPRs, FWB & romance, so. Yeah. Do with that what you will!

 

As long as you've included at least one of my specified ships in some kind of relationship (romance welcome but not required), then beyond that there's a lot of wiggle room as far as I'm concerned.

 

~~~

 

Prompts/tropes/AUs:

 

First kiss, first time, strangers to friends to lovers, cute AUs, meet cute, fake dating, fake relationships, fake married, accidentally married. I love all the classic silly fanfic tropes, if you want to do a fake married coffee shop only one bed meet cute pet sitting fic, be my absolute guest 🤣 I prefer the softer side of tropes for this kind of thing, but if you can take any trope and make it funny/soft then you're probably fine.

 

Canon, divergent, AUs, pre or post canon, different first meetings etc all welcome

 

angst with a happy ending

 

animals, pets

 

crew as family is welcome as a background to any fic or a major point if it serves the story

 

I'm a sucker for romance at any rating but I love a good friendship or found family fic. Also QPRs, polycules, friends with benefits as long as they're both/all into it, etc.

 

If you want specific prompts: I would struggle to imagine anything you could come up with based on the flufftober prompt lists that I wouldn't be delighted by!

 

This year there is a main list and two supplementary ones, and all of them would work for me (though probably the make it platonic ones you might want to not make platonic 🤣)

 

https://www.tumblr.com/flufftober/787862511671214080/hello-and-welcome-to-our-fifth-annual

 

I have also looked at previous lists and basically, if it's a prompt that flufftober would post, you're gonna make me happy!

 

~~~

 

Kinks/sex:

 

I love me some smut, I like everyone to have a great time, characters capable of multiple orgasms to come a lot, people to give enthusiastic head (especially to people with vaginas). I'm also here for queer identities, trans headcanons (there is a sad dearth of trans!Pike fic for starters), body positivity, generally everyone having a good old time.

 

That said, if you don't do smut then I fucking love a good kiss being the endgame of the fic, and I'm fine with fade to black, too.

 

I am a soft creature and as such I prefer my kink loving and clearly mutually enjoyable, if you choose to go there (it's fine either way for me).

 

Love me an E fic, bonus points for generous partners who provide many orgasms. All the usual suspects, shout out to cunnilingus my beloved 🤣 also LAUGHTER I fucking adore when couples are having fun in the bedroom.

 

Kinks & related stuff I like, though nothing here is required: hands, uniforms, impact play, teasing, orgasm delay, overstimulation, nipple play, fisting but like in the most romantic way (I like it as a demonstration of utter surrender & mutual trust, not a dominance thing), sex gone beautifully wrong/especially if something disastrous happening leads to greater intimacy and closeness and possibly laughing their butts off, face riding/sitting

 

~~~

 

DNWs:

 

DNW: permanent character death, hurt no comfort, tragic endings, dark fic, hopeless fic, miserable endings; it can be angsty, you can make me sad, I just don't want to end the fic going well that was depressing

 

DNW: bigotry of any kind except in the smallest amounts and being called the fuck out, if it is an essential part of the story, please keep it as minimal as possible, and I'd rather just not

 

DNW: any kinks I haven't listed as likes please just avoid unless you find something I have written as a thing I love that I just clearly forgot; if in any doubt, don't. I have listed some of my least favourites as DNWs, but I'm also very aware that I'm not particularly educated in this area, and I see people DNW-ing kinks that wouldn't even occur to me. So please treat that as an opt in only situation, and if in doubt, don't go there.

 

DNW: underage sex, noncon/CNC, water sports or scat, daddy kink (I know it's a somewhat natural fit for Pike but I have a cordial dislike of it and rarely enjoy it, so I'd rather not risk it)

 

DNW: Seven/Chakotay, Julian/Ezri, Chris/Marie as significant ships in the fic, Garak/Ziyal gives me the creeps unless it's just her crushing on him

 

DNW: Pike pursing Tilly without regard to her being an Ensign in his command; depending on circumstances it can work that they have a relationship despite that, but if he just goes "eh idc" then it breaks his character for me.

 

DNW: Tilly being called Sylvia except in official contexts, too much Neelix screentime

 

DNW: anything created or edited by AI

 

~~~

DNWs I didn't include before because I didn't think of them, I realise this is non binding but I'm assuming good faith so!

DNW: I already said no kinks I didn't list, but incest, incest vibes, regardless of whether it's kinky or not, please no.

DNW: second person POV
