This is my first time trying a soulmates/soulbonds exchange, but I've done Multifandom Tropefest and AUex and other tropey exchanges, so I'm excited. :D

I hope you have a blast writing for me. I always comment on my gifts and appreciate the hard work my writers do in crafting a story for me, and I'm sure I'll enjoy what you write.

I've tried to help you out by describing what I love about each fandom and/or character, and I've written a few prompts in case you find them useful, but if you come up with something of your own, please write what you think will work best! I've been wonderfully surprised by fics that I never would have thought of in a million years but which were absolutely amazing.

Fics of any length beyond the minimum are fine with me. If your story runs away with you, please be reassured I will love it longer just as much as if it were between 1,000 and 2,000 words.

The icon may make it appear that I have a particular bias towards one fandom, but I just picked one icon that matched a fandom in the list - and which I haven't used recently - so please don't worry: I really truly will love fic for anything I've requested! :)

I once made up a 101 favorite tropes list (in no particular order), so feel free to make use of those if any of them get your muse going: https://doranwen.dreamwidth.org/240453.html


( Yes please! )

( DNWs )

( Opt-ins I'm OK with )


If writing a romantic friendship, I'd prefer the line be drawn at forehead/cheek kisses and cuddles; please reserve lip kisses for sexual relationships.

If a prompt requires something that's listed as a DNW, please follow the prompt rather than the DNW. :)

Also, if choosing between writing the characters as true to themselves as you can, vs. writing a particular trope or prompt, I'd prefer you to keep the characters true to themselves.

As far as soulmates-specific things go: I don't care one way or the other about soulmarks, but prefer they not be the person's name or anything they say. I definitely do not want timers or a red string of fate. I'm OK in general with sharing scars, emotions, etc.


And now to the requests (in tagset category order):
Gold Diggers (1995)
Push (2009)
Leverage
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman
The Pretender (TV)
Rizzoli & Isles (TV)
Rookie Blue
Smallville
Sue Thomas F.B.Eye
Women's Murder Club (TV)

Thank you for writing for me - I can't wait to see what you come up with! :D

Hurt/comfort is one of my favorite things, so when I heard of this exchange, I couldn't resist trying it out. :D Below I've done a lot of describing the awesomeness about each pairing or group, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

What I love about relationships is all the emotional depth: vulnerability, loyalty, knowing someone so well you know what they feel/think/need, even just having someone there as an emotional "rock". The whole "not being alone" feeling is such a powerful theme.

I once made up a 101 favorite tropes list (in no particular order), so feel free to make use of those if any of them get your muse going: https://doranwen.dreamwidth.org/240453.html

Besides those tropes, here are my general likes:
deep platonic friendship, romantic friendship, asexual romance, found families, apocalyptic fic, hurt/comfort (obviously!), nonsexual physical touch (including cuddling), self-sacrifice, characters being vulnerable, character redemption, survival fic, positive treatment of religion, characters dealing with trauma, trust building, missing scenes, canon divergence AU (especially fix-it fic)

DNWs: supernatural/fantasy beings (elves, vampires, werewolves, gnomes, zombies, etc.), AUs other than canon divergence or alt beginnings, deathfic or horror, calling an adult "baby" or "darling", mpreg, crackfic, gore (mild violence is OK, just not as graphic as a surgery documentary), uncensored profanity, first/second person fic

I have requested "bullet removal" and/or "Cleaning/treating wounds" on some fandoms; the description you'd need to do for those will not squick me, so don't worry about it running afoul of my DNW for gore. It has to be very graphic to bother me.

DNW/Caution note: I'm not averse to mentions of sex, but I'd prefer the fic not focus on it or indulge in the physical feelings, because it can pull me out of the story so quickly. Emotional feelings/bonds are what I focus on in any ship. If a prompt requires a mention or implies sex in some way, feel free to include it as necessary as long as the focus of the fic is elsewhere. For instance, I've requested several tags that include rape; with these, as long as you aren't glorying in the nonconsensual aspect of things and focus on the emotional recovery or comfort afterwards, it's fine for me.

Don't worry if someone's written a similar idea before. My first real fandom was one where people used to write a dozen versions of the same TV ep, and I loved reading them all. There are never too many versions of the same story, in my opinion.

Some of the fandoms below have more freeforms than others; this has nothing to do with how much or how little I love the pairings/groups, but more with how versatile the pairing was for different tropes and situations. I'm sure I'll love reading whatever you write for any of these fandoms! :)


Below are optional prompts - or just plain squeeing and unhelpful "I'd love this!" - in the order that I found the tags in the tagset:

( Alphas (TV) )

( FBI (TV 2018) )

( Rookie Blue )

( Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye )

( Women's Murder Club (TV) )

Can't wait to see what you write for me! I hope you have a blast doing so. :D

I love doing Chocolate Box every year. :D Below I've done a lot of describing the awesomeness about each pairing, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

I had so much of a blast with Chocolate Box last year that I had to do it again. :D Below I've done a lot of describing the awesomeness about each pairing, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

Happy writing! :D

This is my first time trying Genex! I'm looking forward to it. :D I did a lot of describing the awesomeness about each friendship, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

What I love about friendships is all the emotional depth: vulnerability, loyalty, knowing someone so well you know what they feel/think/need, even just having someone there as an emotional "rock".

And now to the requests (in the order of which I found them in the tagset):

( The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien )

( Gold Diggers (1995) )

Yuletide is even earlier than last year, but I'm already so excited I couldn't wait to write my letter. :D I love all of these canons so much and I will be absolutely delighted to see the fic for me. I hope you have a blast writing it!

Don't worry if someone's written a similar idea before. My first real fandom was one where people used to write a dozen versions of the same TV ep, and I loved reading them all. There are never too many versions of the same story, in my opinion.

Although I mention it in various prompts below, if you're crossover-inclined, here's the full list of fandoms you could cross with the requested ones (besides, of course, any of my other requests):

Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain (1995) (Beth/Jody make the best romantic friendship ever)

Lord of the Rings (books only, please)
The Pretender (this is also in the tagset--Jarod and Miss Parker are my favs)
Push (2009) (this is also in the tagset--am such a Nick/Cassie fan)
Rizzoli & Isles (through S6, I'm behind on watching and haven't gotten to watching S7 yet)
Smallville (S1-S3 only, am a Clark/Chloe fan and not into Erica Durance's Lois, nor any of the magic stuff that came in S4)
Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010) (I'm not sure exactly how you'd cross something like that with all of these American and British canons, but I love the whole idea of it, even)
X-Men movieverse (first two films only, please)

And now to the requests (in the order of which I found them in the tagset):

Worldweavers - Alma Alexander
Flood (2007)
1-800-Missing (TV)
C-16: FBI
Sue Thomas F.B.Eye
Women's Murder Club

Yuletide is SO much fun every year; I can't wait to see what you write! I know I'll love it. :D

This might be useful for anyone who just wants a good fic in a certain category, no matter the fandom. Everything is cut so if you don't want to see a particular category, just be sure to view this from the page for this date, and expand only the categories you want. I'll add more fics to this as I find them or think of them. This list is by no means all-inclusive; absence of a fic on it only means that fic has not come to my mind yet as an outstanding example of a particular category, though it may be well-written.

Please let me know if you run across any dead links to stories (that aren't specified - at least one of the stories in this post was deleted after I rec'd it, and I've left the rec up with a note to that effect).

For other fic lists, check out my master recs post.


( Romantic Friendship )


( Hurt/Comfort )


( A-plots / Casefic )


( Friendship )


( Gen - Introspective )


( Gen - Comedy )


( Gen - Heartwarming / Holiday )


( Other )


( Missing Scenes )


( AUs )


( Crossovers )


( Trauma )

I decided I ought to put together a post somewhere of all my favorite Sue Thomas fics--at least, the ones that can be linked to readily. (A lot of the ones I'm discovering now are only available on various forums that require registration. I'm converting those to epub so I can take 'em with me on my e-book reader, but can't post 'em here for all to see.)
