Jan. 3rd, 2018 12:18 pmTropes I really like:
I'm totally on board with PWP, and fine with any sex stuff up to mind bondage; I'm not really into hardcore BDSM or kink.
The Exorcist (TV)
Kat Rance/Verity (The Exorcist) Verity & Harper Graham (The Exorcist (TV)) Marcus Keane/Tomas Ortega (The Exorcist (TV))
I find Kat/Verity really exciting conceptually, because they're very different characters, but have had similar experiences with their families being impacted by demons. Also, the show delved into Verity's relationship with faith re: her sexuality (bad) but didn't really touch on Kat's, though she was raised Catholic. I'd like anything looking at their perspectives.
For Verity and Harper, I love their canon dynamic - Verity was so reluctant to take on another sibling at first, but she really stepped up once Harper arrived, and you can see by the season finale how close they'd grown in a matter of days. I'd like anything about their sibling relationship, and would also be totally cool with any of the other Kim kids putting in appearances.
Gerta/Janna
This book is just a shot of glitter straight to the arm, and I'd love anything about these two - mutual pining while they're travelling together, domestic fic after they've settled down, further magical adventures with Mousebones, traveling to see the coast, etc.
Lynes and Mathey Series - Amy Griswold & Melissa Scott
Julian Lynes/Ned Mathey
I grew up on classic Sherlock Holmes, so obviously these books are catnip to me. These two are also great candidates for casefic, loyalty kink, and hurt/comfort (oh no, one of us got hit with a nasty spell and needs to be taken care of!) I'm also really fascinated by Victorian gay culture, so if you share that particular special interest, I would love to see it incorporated into the setting of the books.
Harlots (TV)
Violet Cross/Amelia Scanwell
These girls! They come from such divergent backgrounds, but they also managed to find each other and fall in love. Their relationship is very new in canon, so I'd love to read about how it develops - how do they learn to organize their lives around each other? What does domesticity look like for them? How do they fit in to each other's worlds? How do they each deal with Violet's profession and Amelia's faith? (Not to mention Amelia's mother.) Where do they see themselves ten years from now?
- found families
- hurt/comfort with emphasis on the comfort
- partnership
- casefic
- loyalty kink
- fluff
- animal death/abuse
- incest
- character death
- A/B/O
- modern AUs (if canon is fantasy/historical)
- noncon/dubcon

And Marcus/Tomas - gosh, what is there to say? I love reading about priests in love, and the way Marcus and Tomas' dynamic plays out - how Marcus is driven to keep Tomas safe, while Tomas is determined to run headfirst into ANY dangerous situation he comes across. They also both feel driven to serve God, but have a lot of internal conflict about what that means and what they're "supposed" to do. They're also great candidated for hurt/comfort fic, since they both keep getting their asses kicked, as well as stories where demons try (and fail?) to get in between them.
