deep_dark_watersHello! I'm Deepdarkwaters on Ao3 and Tumblr and ambrotypes on Twitter for any recip-stalking needs.
This letter is ridiculously long for an exchange with such a low wordcount, but they're all prompts I use over and over for various signups so they've become a bit wordy over the years. Short version: I'm easy to please and happy to be completely surprised, as long as you don't include the couple of DNWs mentioned below. If you've got something in mind already then do it your way! These are just suggestions - I will honestly love anything about these people. Any rating you like (and if you want to write smut, my yes list from the Smut Swap tagset is here if that's helpful).
General fic loves: (probably not applicable to every fandom requested, but I include this in all letters as an overview of some of the things I enjoy reading in whatever combination) worldbuilding/exploration of the canon world; dialogue; description; competence; petty arguments; unreliable narrators; misunderstandings; found families; really old comfy friendships; really old comfy friendships that accidentally/unexpectedly become more; clumsy inappropriate humour; backstories; melancholy; loonngg dragged out UST that feels like it'll never end and then ENDS GLORIOUSLY; awkward imperfect sex where everyone's still having the best time ever; intense physical fight scenes; huge scale destruction; ridiculous things played completely straight for comedy purposes; kissing; when dick-in-hole sex isn't always the end goal or the only type considered 'real' sex; ghosts; anything to do with playing/stroking/pulling/grooming/washing/whatever someone's hair.
Please no: noncon, physical torture, hanging of any kind (choking/breathplay is fine - it's the rope and drop thing I have the trouble with), hair cutting, or any kink not listed here. There are a few fandom-specific DNWs below too.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Butch/Sundance
Sundance/Etta
Butch/Sundance/Etta
Butch/Sundance: I never have any real prompts for these two, I just want to mash these beautiful faces together. Please. Romantic friendship, friends with benefits, lonely in the middle of nowhere, tropey bed-sharing, omg we're alive sex, stop being a crybaby while I patch you up sex, whatever, literally anything that happens between these two will be doubly as perfect as they already are by themselves. Canon compliant or fix-it, all good. (And many millions of bonus points if it's all a bit grimy and stubble burny and they don't really know what they're doing but are still so into it.)
Sundance/Etta: How many mainstream PG-rated films show canonical dubcon sex roleplay?? ONE. THIS FILM. Please show me more if that's your thing! Gun kink, undressing, following orders, everything. I love their slightly weary established relationship in the film - is the playing something they started doing to liven things up a bit, or has it been like that for them from the start? Would love to see how they met, their first time, and/or the first time one of them suggested it or tried it. Or more of the established stuff - the way she goes along with it immediately implies it's something they've done a lot, but do they ever switch it up, Etta with a gun and bossing Sundance around? Would he go for that?
Butch/Sundance/Etta: This is the OT3 of my whole life. I've had some amazing gifts in previous exchanges but I'm always greedy for more because they're so messy and beautiful and complicated and there's so much nuance to play about with in the way they all act together. Etta and Sundance are this odd mix of tired and intense, but Etta with Butch is completely different, they're so sweet and sincere. What I really love about this OT3 is the idea of Etta getting different things from the guys, like Etta/Sundance is smokin hot with the roleplay stuff but then there's all that comfortable lovely laughter and cuddles between her and Butch. That contrast is super attractive to me. V or triangle, I'm not fussy, I just love to see people's take on these three as lovers and what makes it all work.
General DNWs for all fandoms: noncon, physical torture, hanging, hair cutting, or kinks not listed in my letter.
Crossover
Harry Hart (Kingsman)/Victoria Winslow (RED)
Victoria Winslow (RED)/Roxy Morton (Kingsman)
Victoria/Harry: I ship this pairing SO HARD. The characters are both so effortlessly competent at everything they do and there's something so similar about their beautifully efficient fighting styles. Look at Harry in the church and Victoria shooting out of both car windows in Red 2. Imagine Kingsman & MI6 having to work together for whatever reason and the two of them team up, imagine what a spectacular fight that would be. SWOON. Romance/smut-wise, I'm super into the age difference, and the idea of dom Victoria/adoring starry-eyed younger Harry if that appeals. Whether it's 20 year old Harry running like a puppy after 35 year old Victoria or they're 50 and 65, I don't mind, I've just become a bit obsessed with the idea of them together at any point in their lives being gorgeous and competent and enthusiastically into each other. First time? FWBs? Love? I don't mind, just more Victoria/Harry that I don't have to write myself, please!
Victoria/Roxy: I looooove huge age difference pairings and would sell my soul for a sort of Harry/Eggsy dynamic, only with these two instead. And slightly less of the puppy dog eyes and bickering. Handwave some reason for Roxy and Victoria to work together - I can't stop thinking about how great they'd be. Smash my hardcore competence kink: fight scenes; Victoria teaching Roxy some tricks, or Roxy teaching Victoria some tricks; one of them saves the other's life by being in the right place at the right time when a job goes wrong. Bonding in a bar late at night about being exceptional women in a job that's still dominated by not always exceptional men, with more and more innuendo and flirty eyes over the top of wine glasses as the bottles empty. I love the idea of Victoria, this gorgeous clever sixty-something woman who fights like she's been born to it and takes no shit from the guys, as Roxy's mentor/hero/friend/goals, then more.
General DNWs for all fandoms: noncon, physical torture, hanging, hair cutting, or kinks not listed in my letter. Specific DNWs for this fandom: dead Roxy, Merlin, Harry, Eggsy, or Eggsy's family (other characters and OCs can die as much as you want), and please don't bash Tilde or Michelle.
Kingsman
Harry Hart/Merlin
Harry Hart/Eggsy Unwin
Harry Hart/Merlin/Eggsy Unwin
Harry Hart/Roxy Morton
Harry Hart/Elton John
Relevant to all requested pairings: I love silly spy gadgets, the sillier the better (machine gun suitcase and knives hidden in clipboards, wtf). Fake relationship as a cover is the end of me every time. Also extravagant fight scenes, and I'm 1000000% in favour of anything focused on dressing/undressing, clothes as gifts, sharing clothes, makeover/pampering Pretty Woman type scenes, or lovely quality clothes getting completely wrecked by being ripped off or stained. Same goes for weapons kink and general competence kink. Someone watching someone else with swoony starry eyes as they do something really well without even seeming to try - fighting, language mastery, piano rock while wearing a giant wig with a boat in it ELTON, anything. Ultra hedonistic bottom Harry is always my preference for pairings involving him, but I'm really not fussy - just mentioning it because it's still reasonably rare so if that's your thing as well then this is an excellent match :D No preference for anyone else.

His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
Lee Scoresby/Original Character(s)
Lee is my all time favourite book character. I don't even have any real prompts, I just want more and more and more of him.
This bit with his ghost in the land of the dead from The Amber Spyglass:
"When you see that old bear, you tell him Lee went out fighting. And when the battle's over, there'll be all the time in the world to drift along the wind and find the atoms that used to be Hester, and my mother in the sagelands, and my sweethearts - all my sweethearts... Lyra, child, you rest when this is done, you hear? Life is good, and death is over..."
Aesthetically he's 109% crafted to my requirements (that tall moustachey Texan cowboy sort of look), but this is everything else I love about his character condensed into one paragraph: he's this fierce honourable fighter and braver than anyone, but also a bit sentimental and romantic. He lives exuberantly, seems to love easily, and remembers "all" his sweethearts even after he's dead. I want to hear about one or some or many of them - was there a favourite? Did they know each other? Who were they? FWBs scattered around the world, or longer relationships, or single unforgettable nights? Prostitutes? Witches? Enemies-to-lovers? Did he ever exchange his services for flight equipment he needed but couldn't pay for at the time? Be real, how many times did he use the promise of a spectacular view from his balloon as a pulling line to take someone up there to fuck? Dozens, probably. Hundreds. Whatever gender you want, I have no preference as long as he's getting some love. Even no pairing at all - what's it like spending your life wanking with a daemon right there??
General DNWs for all fandoms: noncon, physical torture, hanging, hair cutting, or kinks not listed in my letter. Specific DNWs for this fandom: Lee/Lyra or Lee/Will, but pair him with any other canon character(s) if you'd prefer that to OCs.
