My likes and dislikes
So I fulfilled the challenge and made a likes/dislikes post. So if you're writing anything for me, here's what I enjoy the most. You are awesome, btw!
Pairings I love:
My OTP is Harry/Draco
I adore next-gen, and my favourite pairings there are Albus/Scorpius and James/Scorpius. I also love BFF Al and Scorpius, so either that on the side of J/S or friends to lovers with a lot of pining for A/S is always good. Oh, and Slytherin!Albus.
For cross-gen I like Albus/Draco and Scorpius/Harry.
So generally, any Potter/Malfoy combination is usually win.
Also, FEMSLASH! I especially like the idea of Ginny/Luna or Parvati/Lavender
Pairings I’m not too keen on:
I’m generally not too fond of cross-gen pairings where Harry’s generation is the youngest part, so for example Sirius/Harry and Snape/Harry aren’t favourites. I’m also not that into sex god!Charlie.
General things I like in a fic:
Muggle living – for Harry/Draco it just makes so much sense to me, running away from the Magical society to escape fame or notoriety.
The coexistence of Muggle and Magical world – I really love when writers delve into this. When they create a system of how these worlds can exist together and how they meet.
Also use of muggle technology, pop cultural references, politics, lgbtq-issues
Odd jobs can be awesome.
Friends with benefits
Bets
Quidditch
PINING
UST
Coming out
Discovering/coming to terms with one's sexuality
First time
Angst – Especially for a longer fic I think a bit of angst and conflict is necessary to keep me engaged. I prefer when there’s a hopeful ending.
Hopeful endings – I like a good old happy ending, but I really love when not everything is set in stone, you know. You can tell that it’s going to be alright, but not all the details.
Party games!
Clubbing
Drunkenness can be a lot of fun; silly drunks, drunken confessions, making bad decisions.
Coffee shop!fics
Humour
Banter/snark
Fashionable Draco. Esp. Draco in fashionable Muggle clothes.
Awesome friendship between Harry, Ron and Hermione.
Hermione and Ron are together. They’re my het OTP.
Great side characters are always nice. Especially Luna, Pansy, Blaise, Neville, George.
Things I like for smut:
Awkwardness! I find it so much hotter when not everything is perfect, and there’s a bit of awkwardness or humour involved.
Rimming, bottoming from the top, semi-public sex, partly clothed sex, stubble burns, roughness when it fits, blowjobs, kissing, wanking, frotting, kinkiness to a degree when it fits, shower sex, desperation, okay almost everything.
Hairy Harry! I love Harry with a bit of body hair.
I prefer the boys slim and lightly muscled rather than super butch (I mean, they don't have to be really fit or conventionally magazine type attractive (there are many types of attractive, and they can be attractive only to each other if so), they can also be chubby or have a paunch or have like weirdly skinny legs or something - I just don't like that overly muscled type)
I like if they switch. Especially when one of them usually tops, but sometimes they do it the other way around. I have no top/bottom preferences. Especially important that it doesn't follow some stereotypical view of who tops or bottoms. I prefer a communication about it no matter what.
Things I’m not too keen on:
D/s relationships (I don't really mind a slight D/s dynamic in bed, but the whole fulltime relationship/lifestyle doesn't normally grab me)
Fics that are so dark and angsty that there’s not a shred of hope and no happy endings (with a few exceptions – The Jabberwock, anyone?)
Non-con between the main pairing. I'm okay with non-con as a well-handled theme of a story, but not as a start to a relationship.
Bitchy Ginny. It’s okay if she and Harry breaks up and she takes it badly, but not irrationally so.
Homophobic Ron or Hermione
Big height difference between Harry and Draco
Bloodplay/related kinks
Creature fic. They can be awesome, especially Veela fics, but they’re generally not my favourite.
Stereotyped top/bottom preferences (i.e. one of them is larger/stronger/butcher/more stereotypically masculine and is therefore assumed to top without discussion)
Piercings
Leather trousers
Marriage/Proposals or huge amount of weight on related themes
Large amounts of domestic fluff (like a scene or two in a long fic is nice and good and all, especially as a sort of calm before the storm (I actually kind of love that), but not a story that's basically entirely domestic fluff)
Heteronormativity
Mpreg
ABO/Omegaverse
