devilwithabirddressDear Podficcer,
Hello! I'm DevilWithABirdDress! Thank you for reading my letter. I’d like to specifically say that I’m a-okay with repods, treats being used for both this and bingos/etc, and treats that are part of an ongoing series. Genfic and shipping are both lovely.
My AO3 bookmarks are all recs, and my "to pod" bookmarks are all hidden so you can feel free to reference those (though I still would prefer no gifts with explicit sex, even though I have bookmarks with it in writing).
Fandoms (in no particular order):
Deadloch - very much anything, Cath/Dulcie/Eddie would be amazing or anything featuring Sharelle or Abby would be extra awesome, sooo many good characters in this show.
Spy x Family - Pretty open to most things in this fandom, though canon-ships only please. I love Yor and her mix of competence and disaster, Loid's pretty-boy-cool-suave demeanor running into the tragic embarrassment of having no idea how to be a non-spy father. Any identity-reveal/powers-reveal would be welcome.
Our Flag Means Death - Zheng Yi Sao is fantastic, I love her on her own, in an ensemble, and especially as part of the lovely Zheng/Olu/Jim/Archie polycule (just /Olu is also good!). Adventures with Spanish Jackie, Izzy being a melodramatic grouch, Buttons being a witch, allllll wonderful.
Lord of the Rings - In the main trilogy my favorites are the hobbit boys, Éowyn, and Faramir. Legolas/Gimli is an all-time ship. Boromir is an exception to my MCD ban, esp. featuring Faramir's grief. I'm not currently requesting anything centering The Hobbit or the Silm, but anything involving War of the Rohirrim would be incredible, with no Héra/Wulf endgame shipping.
Étoile - Cheyenne!!! Cheyenne Toussaint! Her passion! Her rants! Her adorable accent! Her inexplicable relationship with her mother! She’s just fantastic. Also anything featuring Susu who is so adorable and funny. I do love Tobias being a Problem. This fandom is new and tiny so really anything about anyone would still be amazing.
Leverage - (optionally includes Redemption) Hardison/Parker/Eliot ofc, Breanna Casey being awesome and queer (and having a brother who loves her!), Sophie's identity struggles, Eliot learning to be gentle/loved, Tara and/or Hurley shenanigans.
Batfam - Anything highlighting the bond between Damian & Dick (familial and/or platonic). I have feelings about them. ;__; Also Bruce & Dick, especially early Dick stories about losing his parents and becoming Robin, or ones where he leaves to become Nightwing and they have to resolve their issues. And Babs! Anything highlighting what a badass Oracle is.
Marvel - Recently rewatched CA:tWS and the hyperfixation has reignited - Steve/Bucky(+/Peggy)(+/Sam)(+/Natasha). Any combo on that multiship so long as the boys out of time are also in love. I know Stucky fandom is dauntingly huge so if you need an easy grab know that the author leveragehunters (Monkeygreen) is an all-time favorite of mine and has BP (this is an optional detail, only use if helpful!). Also F&tWS Sam Wilson gen or shipped with Bucky, they're so cute and anything that's just Natasha-centric or Sam-centric, genfic or non. I’m big on themes of recovery, acceptance, and dealing with what’s in front of you for this fandom. (Adventure and missionfic are ofc always welcome as well.)
Star Trek: Lower Decks - Beckett Mariner be still my little gay heart. And also pretty much everyone else, the entire cast are amazing characters. Shippy or gen, most anything goes! Any Starbase-80 shenanigans or anything relating to the Fissure Quest crew (if you haven't seen season 5 don't look up those two things, spoilers!)
Star Trek: Discovery - I adore Adira/Gray, they're so sweet and perfect and interesting, definitely my favorite ship in the show. I also love Michael (her getting to be a badass OR her getting a well-deserved break), Saru (glorious non-human cultural identity) and either or both Philippa Georgiou(s).
Star Trek: DS9 - Right now the ships I’m looking at for romance-focused DS9 are Garak/Julian or Jadzia Dax/Lenara Kahn. I love them so. All-team genfic or focused on any of those characters is also good, plus Sisko & Jake’s healthy familial relationship is solid gold and I’d love to see anything centering them.
The Witcher - My favs are Jaskier as the Sandpiper and BAMF Yen (extra credit for her finding a way to be happy). Most ships are a-okay with me (Jaskier/Yen(+/Geralt) is a favorite), though not personally into any of the younger wolves slashed with Vesemir, nor everyone/Jaskier. I like a LOT of AUs for this fandom.
Alex Rider - Honestly I just love so many of the characters and their friendships, Kyra, Tom, Jack, Yassen. I’m craving someone rescuing Alex after he’s gotten hurt and giving the boy actual useful emotional support. Also always and forever adore character studies.
Thanks for reading! Reach out to the other mods (especially Flowerparrish whose phone I live in) if you need me to expand on specifics and I would be happy to. I am so excited to see what everyone creates.

Alex Rider - Honestly I just love so many of the characters and their friendships, Kyra, Tom, Jack, Yassen. I’m craving someone rescuing Alex after he’s gotten hurt and giving the boy actual useful emotional support. Also always and forever adore character studies.
Fullmetal Alchemist - preferably post-canon, divergence is a-okay, any version, I love Ed’s post-god-punching emotional journey to figuring out what he’s supposed to do now that he’s essentially peaked as a chaos-atheist. I watched the first anime years before Brotherhood, so I meant the All Media Types on this fandom.
Stargate SG-1 - I'd take a pretty wide range of stories for this fandom, love to see Samantha & Daniel having nerd sidequests or Teal'c dealing with either his own culture (worldbuilding!!) or reacting to inexplicable human nonsense. Really anything that hits my general tropes too. (My fav SG: Atlantis character is always and forever Ronon, if that comes up.)
Lockwood & Co. - I’ve only seen the show for this fandom (planning on reading soon) so nothing that relies on knowledge after book 2. Otherwise I just? Love these characters? George especially. Mission fic or just fluff. These kiddos all need hugs. And the OT3 is very cute.
General beloved tropes:
- Adventure! Let’s go on a quest! Curse breaking! Puzzle-solving!
- Mercyfic
- Close Siblings
- Touch starved person gets healthy contact
- Asexual relationships, bonus points for non-sexual physical intimacy
- Bodyswap
- Triads!
- Curses! I love them so much I’m listing them twice. Animal transformation, silence, sneeze every time you lie, true love’s kiss needed to save your life but *gasp* you’re sure it’s unrequited, etc.!
- Enemies to Lovers and/or Enemies to Friends
- Exes to Lovers
- Fantasy/Magic AUs, urban magic or swords and sorcery are both great!
- Hurt/Comfort
- Mind Control Aftermath & Recovery
- Post-canon adventures, completely non-canon-compliant is also good!
- Time Loops!
- Rarepairs!
- Character Studies!
- Role-reversal e.g. Jaskier the Witcher and Geralt the Bard etc.!
- Soulmate AUs - the more trouble it adds for our heroes the better!
- Star Trek Fusion AUs
- Crackfic, shenanigans & humor
Do Not Want:
- Permanent Major Character Death (temporary or faked is fine)
- Permanent Brain Wipe/Permanent Mind Control (even background)
- Sexually explicit works (implied/vague is fine)
- Self harm, especially cutting (“need to remove a cursemark” or other utilitarian reasons is fine, just NOT mental health related)
- Actual suicide - attempts are iffy but not a hard line if part of wider angst, but no successes
- Doctor/Patient or Teacher/Student relationships (& no Boss/Employee if the power dynamic is featured as sexy)
- High School/College AUs
- Canonically "good" heroes as evil/cruel protagonists without redemption (dark Mafia AUs etc.)
- Sad endings, Hurt/No Comfort, overly ambiguous endings
- Underage or Age Play
- No “slavery is normal and accepted” or Handmaid’s Tale-esque worlds
- No dom/sub relationships, sexual or non.
- “Reader” as a character
