Hello esteemed creator! :D

Thank you so much in advance for making something for me, and for taking the time to read this letter! I can't wait to see what you come up with and I hope you have fun! You can find my ao3 account at <user name=cookiegirl site=ao3.org>.

General Likes:

• fic that concentrates on the characters and their relationships
• spanking & discipline (especially over-the-knee, though even a single swat or a threat will make me happy! Consensual or non-consensual are both fine!)
• hurt/comfort (physical or emotional)
• protectiveness
• possessiveness
• found family
• reluctant care-takers and caretakees
• characters trying to look tough but turning out be vulnerable
• snark and banter
• angst and fluff combined
• characters working through tricky emotions and having happy endings
• us against the world
• gift-giving
• 5 times or 5+1
• undercover as a couple/as parent and child

For romantic ships, I also love:

• getting together
• D/S (especially with a bratty sub)
• domestic discipline
• sexual spanking especially with discipline roleplay, or spanking for stress relief or guilt
• kink negotiation
• age difference
• strength
• man-handling

CRIMINAL MINDS
Penelope Garcia & Derek Morgan, Penelope/Derek
Available on AmazonPrime

Fandom-specific DNW: Either of them being happily in a relationship with someone else

These two were always the highlight of Criminal Minds for me and I really don't know why they didn't get them together. I'm happy with anything that focuses on their close friendship, or any pre-relationship or getting-together stories! (I'm not quite as keen on established relationship stories.)

Ideas that are always perfect for these two in my head:

- Undercover as a couple leads to noticing the Feelings
- Protecting each other

- Huddling for warmth

- Sharing a bed

- First kiss
- Anything autumnal or Halloweeny welcome!

If you'd like to go down a kink route:

- Derek giving into his protective instincts and disciplining Penelope when she does something dangerous (the season 5 episode Exit Wounds comes to mind, and they have that hotel room that they're sharing which would be pretty convenient!) Or season 11 where she was in witness protection but wouldn't stay in the building. But any situation is good! I feel like underwear would probably stay on here since Derek is a gentleman, but it's up to you!

- An AU with corporal punishment in the workplace! Is it usually Hotch who dishes it out but when Penelope gets in trouble Derek asks Hotch if he can do it instead? How does Garcia feel about that turn of events? Is it almost worse at first because Derek feels like more of an equal?

FALSETTOS (Lapine/Finn)
Marvin/Whizzer
Available on BroadwayHD or typing 'Falsettos proshot' into youtube!

Fandom-specific DNW: mentions of Whizzer's death; I would prefer anything to be set either before his diagnosis (before More Racquetball) or in a modern AU where he can be treated, please!

I adore this musical! I love how complex and flawed Whizzer and Marvin and their relationship are, and how much they grow throughout the story, and how hard they try even though they often get it wrong. I love reading about both their dysfunctional relationship in Act 1 and their much more functional one in Act 2. And I love Jason and his relationship with both of the above.

Potential prompts:

- If you'd like to go seasonal, some sort of supernatural or horror AU for Whizzer and Marvin would be fun - is one of them a vampire? Fae? Some sort of killer? How does their relationship begin/play out in this world? Feel free to go dark, but I'd still like them to be in love and have a happy ending of sorts if possible.

- D/S in the bedroom with Whizzer subbing but being bratty about it. Or, the first time one of them subs?

- Marvin and Whizzer practising domestic discipline after they get back together, or Marvin spanking Whizzer in any capacity! Does Marvin do it one time in the early days when Whizzer drives him mad? Is it under-negotiated but still hot? Whizzer taking control is also super welcome - maybe Marvin needs absolution for the past?

- Mild sickfic with Whizzer being a demanding patient and Marvin being a reluctant caretaker. Perhaps Whizzer trying to get Marvin to prove he cares?

- Whizzer and Marvin having to deal together with some sort of issue involving Jason – Jason being upset about something, or getting in trouble, or anything really. Just the little family unit of three working through stuff and figuring things out.


THE NEW NORMAL
Bryan/David or Bryan & Shania
Available to watch free on Dailymotion

This show is so adorable! Bryan is just the BEST. I love Bryan and David’s relationship and the way their personalities complement each other, and they look after each other and accept everything about each other. And I adore Bryan and Shania’s friendship, and how smart Shania is.

Potential prompts:

- Bryan throwing a needlessly OTT party for Halloween on his and David's behalf; arguing over Halloween costumes; anything autumnal

- My headcanon is that David and Bryan practice domestic discipline, so anything to do with this would be awesome (My preference is for David spanking Bryan but I could maybe see them sometimes switching). I'd love to see them starting the arrangement, or any scenes from within it. Or maybe having to awkwardly and embarrassedly explain what's going on to Goldie if she figures out something's happening! Or a Five Times fic to do with this subject would be super fun (5 times David spanks Bryan and one time he spanks David?)

- Any cute fights (and make-ups) about fatherhood

- Bryan looking after Shania when she's ill (does Shania drag it out way longer than necessary to get more attention from Bryan?)

- Bryan and Shania bonding about anything; Bryan learning how to do fatherly stuff by looking after Shania and encountering unexpected situations; Shania turning to Bryan when upset

- Bryan pretending to be Shania's dad for some sort of school event, or Shania telling everyone that he's her dad and him ending up going along with it


SCHITT'S CREEK
David/Patrick
Available on Netflix

This show is my new love! I adore David and Patrick and the way they totally accept and support each other while also gently making fun of each other. I also love the other characters, particularly Stevie, Alexis, Johnny & Moira.

Potential prompts:

- One looking after the other when ill and them being a terrible patient

- Any domestic discipline scenes! Starting the arrangement; 5 times Patrick spanked David and 1 time it was the other way round; Stevie or Alexis finding out about the arrangement, etc!

- Throwing a Halloween party; arguing over couples' costumes; autumnal stuff

- Having to look after someone else's kid (not under 2yrs pls) together and not knowing what they are doing

SMASH
Tom & Julia; Tom & Ivy; Tom & Derek; Tom/Derek

Yes, I am a fan of Tom :D I love his excitability, his passion for writing, his willingness to take on anything, his sense of humour and his occasional petulance. I adore his friendships with Julia and Ivy, and his rivalry with Derek and their complicated working relationship. I love Tom's loyalty to his friends and happiness for them when they succeed, the way he sees them as family, his co-dependence with Julia, his sweetness and gentleness, and his willingness to look after them. I love how Tom is firm with Julia sometimes and tries to get her to stay away from Michael. I ADORE the scene after she walks out on their anniversary 'date' (1x10, I think). And I love that he doesn't just give in to Julia's demand to fire Michael, because he thinks the good of the show and the cast is more important, and that he stands firm with Ivy when she doesn’t want her mother involved in the show and when she doesn’t want to take direction from him. I also think there's a lot of unexplored opportunities between Tom and Derek.

Potential prompts:

- How does the period when they live together go for Tom and Julia? Do they drive each other mad but also cuddle and take care of each other?

- How did Tom and Julia/Tom and Ivy become friends in the first place? What was their first fight about?

- Tom finding out about how bad Ivy felt at the end of season 1 is also something I would really like to see explored. Or Ivy relying on pills more and Tom helping her through it.

- Tom stepping in with Julia or Ivy and stopping a self-destructive behaviour. With spanking? *makes heart-eyes*

- Tom and Derek fighting, addressing their history, learning to work together, just generally annoying each other and then either making up as friends or more-than-friends.

- I would love to see some D/S with Tom and Derek. Or maybe pre-slash where Tom or Derek realizes they actually kind of likes it when Derek orders Tom around at work or manhandles him...?


SPINNING OUT
Mitch & Serena
Available on Netflix

Fandom-specific DNWs: anything sexual with Mitch and Serena (Serena having a crush is fine, non-sexual spanking is more than fine); Mitch blaming Serena for the situation with the doctor

Potential prompts:
- Anything between them that explores their developing relationship as coach-skater and/or surrogate father-daughter. Them against the world, him protecting her, looking after her when she's upset or injured

- Mitch coming back straight after season 1, either before or because of finding about Serena's revelation in the finale, and his reaction to that situation. And I'd love to see them working together to restore her confidence and self-worth in the weeks or months after that, and him reassuring her that she is perfect.

- A discipline/spanking fic, set during season 1 maybe? Maybe Serena is taking too many risks, skating dangerous jumps without supervision, etc? Or maybe she's putting her career or health in jeopardy some other way?


TIMELESS
Lucy/Flynn
Available on Netflix

I recently finished watching this show and although I also love Lucy/Wyatt and thought everything was nicely wrapped up by the final episode, I do think that given another season, they could have developed Lucy/Flynn to be endgame. I thought they had such amazing sexual tension and depth of understanding. I'd just like to see more of these two!

I don't mind if a fic is set during canon, or in an AU where the last two or three episodes didn't happen and they are carrying on doing missions and on the road to getting together. The banter, reluctant attraction, sexual tension, etc! I would prefer pre-relationship or getting together rather than established relationship but will take anything!

Potential prompts:

- Undercover as a couple! Perfect for these two! I'm not too interested here in the intricacies of case fic or historical accuracy, feel free to make any missions as nonsensical/not-fleshed-out/whatever as you like, I'm here for the relationship!

- Problems on a mission or in the bunker lead to huddling for warmth or bed-sharing

- Spanking - Lucy doing something dangerous on a mission and Flynn disciplining her? Needing to discipline her to maintain their cover because they're in olden times?


--Thank you!!
