we heard crimes often and softly

Dear Creator,

Hello! I'm glad we'll be working together and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

I'm going to copy and paste some stuff from other "dear author" letters of mine:

What I Love: I love ambiguous/happy for now/sad endings (though I am not opposed to happy endings in the slightest). I love things that make me think, and are not necessarily tied up with a neat pretty bow.

I love characters dealing with mortality (of their careers or their lives). I also dig found family/families of choice, pining, minor miscommunication, undercover as married, mistaken for dating, pretend dating, enemies to lovers, enemies to friends to lovers, friends to lovers, poly/poly-v relationships, popular clichéd tropes inverted (i.e. gay for you, married in Vegas, A/B/O, soulmates/soulmate marks, etc), meet-cutes/meet-uglies, and epistolary/use of social media pastiche (use of fake texts, tweets, facebook posts, emails, and more. This is a good example of what I mean here. So is this, this, this, this, and this).

My main DNWs are listed below (exceptions will be noted):

DNWs:
• noncon
• assault/abuse (physical and sexual)
• incest
• underage
• violence against women
• violence against animals/animal death
• character death
• A/B/O, BDSM, and kneeling 'verses (unless the tropes are inverted)
• mpreg
• watersports/scat
• vampire and werewolf AUs

Stuff I Like:
• pining
• miscommunication
• poly/poly-v
• found family/families of choice
• undercover as married/pretend dating/fake marriage
• enemies to lovers
• enemies to friends to lovers
• popular clichéd tropes inverted
• amnesiafic
• epistolary/social media pastiche
• future fic
• casefic
• ensemble fic
• long-distance relationships
• poly/poly-v relationships
• power imbalances/power dynamics/power dynamics inverted
• professional/career jealousy
• small town AUs (small town in the suburban gothic sense, not cute, quaint villages and whatnot)
• gothic/horror/ghost stories

The following prompts are merely suggestions. I'll be perfectly happy with any combination of Stuff I Like, if none of the ideas grab your attention.
