I totally welcome recursive works based on these fics with no knowledge of the source canon! A lot of their focus is on really neat worldbuilding around the backstories of characters who got almost no canon backstory info, which I absolutely adore and would just like More Of, forever - filling out or illustrating any of the scenarios in Fragments, or any elided bits from any of the fics in Art of Alliances would be fantastic.
I love Crawford and Schuldig as a ship and I'm also really happy to see either of them solo, or gen with any of the other OCs or canon characters from these fics.

This series is just really, really hot and I'd like more!! I love the mind games, the horror, the noncon the fucked-up codependency between Crawford & Schuldig and how Yohji is getting pulled into it and seeing it happen as he goes. What was the first time like, how did the capture go, what's happening on the outside of their little world. Or even way way in the past - how did Crawford and Schuldig grow into each other like this? When did Schuldig first want to keep a pet?

I'm wildly in love with the genius time travel of this and I would love anything, anything at all about Maia, Csevet, Beshelar, Cala, or Kiru from this universe!! Any scene from Kiru's long time "alone" with these memories! An AU where they couldn't get back and did have to do it all over. An AU where they were sent to a different instant in time. I will ship anything in TGE so go wild, gen is also very very welcome.

This fic is so, so inspired and I'd just love... really anything related to it at all. Maybe the premise happens again later! Maybe the premise happens to other characters/ships from Ace Attorney (any, I'm multiship)! Or, what about a scene from before the fic starts?

UM. What does Godot telling them the story look like? How does this change the timeline? Is Godot stuck in the past with them permanently? Do they form a perma-trio? What does Mia do about her family after hearing all this? I have so many questions. I would also enjoy just more hot emotional porn.

Additional fandom-specific likes:
[Fandoms: The Wilds/Yellowjackets]
Anything in this universe! ♡ Maybe Gretchen trying to recruit adult Yellowjackets, or just generally riding the coattails of the Yellowjackets story to promote her experiment. Other in-universe media (as well as regular fic) are definitely welcome!
I don't have anything more specific in mind here, I'm going to love everything you come up with! ♡

Common squicks I'm okay with:
✓ gore and graphic depictions of violence
✓ body horror and any horror in general
✓ any type and severity of abuse, as long as it's portrayed as abuse and not excused by the narrative (excused by the abuser is okay, the victim being confused and/or blaming themselves is okay)
✓ self-harm
✓ major character death
✓ harm to children
✓ humiliation, "cringe"
✓ spiders, insects, any creepy animals/creatures/monsters
✓ pretty much everything that is not a DNW or edging close to a DNW

Dislikes (DNW):
Ø any romance
Ø any smut/shipping-adjacent sexual content regardless of consent level or rating (sex jokes and conversations, as well as mentions or focus on canon sexual trauma or abuse, are all okay and welcome)
Ø any mentions of BDSM and other power-dynamics-related kinks (even jokes)
Ø caretaking/caregiving (grooming, feeding, dressing etc. another person)
Ø physical illness/sickness, ranging from common cold to cancer, including fictional ones (physical infections that only cause mental or behavioral symptoms are okay; vomiting for other reasons is okay; injuries and non-illness types of disabilities are okay, but still please no caretaking)
Ø unresolved mind control or possession (resolved by the end of the story is okay; aftermath is okay and something I'm very interested in)
Ø soulmates, soulmarks, soulbonds (even platonic)
Ø possessiveness portrayed as positive
Ø violating consent and freedom portrayed as positive when it's "not a big deal" or "for someone's own good", also in a non-sexual context, also when it applies to children (convincing someone to do things they don't like, "playfully" tickling when someone says no, intentionally limiting someone's choices, "grounding", etc.)
Ø self-sacrifice and self-denial portrayed as positive
Ø parents' POV on a parent-child relationship
Ø non-canon pregnancy and childbirth (canon is okay)
Ø any AU that completely changes characters' backstories
Ø violent or otherwise graphic death of pets, especially cats (death of old age is okay; violent or graphic death of other animals is okay, especially ones that are hunted for food)

Likes (not smutty):
❥ kissing literally anywhere (well, for art I'd prefer no kissing the top of the hand the way you'd do when greeting royalty; other types of hand kisses are wonderful!)
❥ first kiss with each other (but preferably not first kiss in general, unless requested)
❥ pining and crushes (especially younger or "less cool" POV character crushing on older or "cooler" character, when canonically applicable), reciprocated or one-sided or ambiguous, where the dream/end goal for all interested parties is something other than being in a romantic relationship (it can be literally anything else: touching, kissing, holding hands, being around, flirting, having sex, all of the above, etc.), so things like "pining while fucking" are out because the dream already came true
❥ strong physical/aesthetic attraction, especially with focus on details like fingers, smile lines, hair
❥ attraction/crush confessions (but not love confessions)
❥ oral fixation
❥ regular non-shippy stories with some casual gentle touches or kisses between the requested characters, especially when they haven't done it before but it's comfortable and feels good (it can lead somewhere further or not)

Likes (smutty):
❥ hands and fingers kink
❥ finger sucking, thumb on lips
❥ m/f fingerfucking (f receiving)
❥ partially clothed sex
❥ hand jobs, including through clothes
❥ m/m oral sex (but not deepthroat)
❥ m/f oral sex (f receiving)
❥ m/m comeplay
❥ intercrural sex
❥ mutual masturbation
❥ nipple licking/sucking (definitely including male nipples)
❥ casual sex that is also affectionate
❥ gentleness
❥ bantering (and gentleness at the same time)
❥ first time with each other (but preferably not first time in general, unless requested)
❥ kissing and/or licking literally anywhere, E-rated and G-rated places equally
❥ dry humping
❥ coming untouched
❥ coming in pants
❥ men with canonically long or longish hair having their hair focused on or touched or played with (but not pulled)
❥ pwp

Additional fandom-specific likes:
[This is an explicit drawing.] Yeah, I am pretty much going for 'what happens next' in the pwp sense, but I'm also totally here for 'nothing happens next because oblivious Luffy interrupts them' or something like that. xD (Also, I'm a big fan of Sanji's tongue piercing. *ahem*)
I don't have anything more specific in mind here. Be as explicit or non-explicit as you're comfortable with, and I'm going to love everything you come up with! ♡
I don't have favorite art styles - your style is exactly what I want to see. :)

Dislikes (DNW):
Ø any implications of exclusivity (including polyamory), jealousy or possessiveness (which doesn't mean you need to state or imply the opposite - I'm super happy with little to no context; just avoid mentions of relationship status like 'boyfriend' or 'husband' or words like 'mine' when referring to another person or their body parts and "yours" when talking about themself and their body parts)
Ø any mentions of romantic relationships, even (or especially) in the context of not wanting one/being aromantic
Ø BDSM and other power-dynamics-related, violence-related or degradation-related kinks
Ø noncon, dubcon
Ø hickeys, any other marks
Ø the phrases "good boy/girl" and "come for me"
Ø m/f oral sex with m receiving (literally any other configuration is great)
Ø any characters under 18 in sexual situations
Ø any of the characters being sick or otherwise physically incapacitated
Ø caretaking/caregiving (grooming, feeding, dressing etc. another person)
Ø soulmates, soulmarks, soulbonds
Ø naming, analyzing or describing-that-is-just-short-of-naming any character as aromantic, asexual or agender, whether canon or not (naming other orientations or gender identities is okay, but I'm not interested in "issue fic" about them, or even "issue sidenotes")
Ø genderswap/sexswap/different genitals than implied in canon (canon trans characters, regardless of physical transition or lack thereof, are okay and welcome)
Ø pregnancy, canon or not
Ø setting-change AU

I am an adult - NSFW is okay. Treats are welcome!

Highlights of WWWMID:
- admittedly, the dubcon smut is hot
- meetings in dreams
- the angst! The hurt-comfort!

Highlights of NTWICE:
- a fascinating magical city
- the people who visit a magical city
- relaxing in a pretty garden and reading books
- consentacles

Highlights of IWBALDH
- stuck in a mansion in a snowy mining town
- being magically held captive by who you used to be
- magical rituals gone wrong
- They get a car!

DNWs: ageplay, age regression, bootlicking (grunge or similar kinks with potential exposure to bacteria or viruses), bathroom kinks (scat, watersports), bestiality (Does not pass the Harkness Test), daddy/mommy kink, eye harm, forced feminization, genital mutilation, lactation kink, main character death, explicit noncon, or pregnancy.

Further note about main character death:
The series ‘Now That’s What I Call Entangled!’ by Croik has technical MCD. That is okay to reference! I don’t want anyone who hasn’t already died to die.

Furthur note about explicit noncon:
The fanfic ‘What Wishes We Make in Dreams’ by PrettyArbitrary contains dubcon due to identity issues. It is okay to reference that.

Examples of what I am okay with
- Dubcon due to identity issues or memory, even if it ends in angst
- Sex pollen and Aliens Made Them Do It
- References to past assault while a character heals from the mental trauma
- Threats that aren’t followed through within the story
- BDSM scenes with shown negotiating and aftercare
