wildfireblossomFor this exchange I have requested Code Geass, Death Note, Durarara!, Fate/stay night & Related Fandoms, ご注文はうさぎですか? | Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? | Is the Order a Rabbit?, 干物妹!うまるちゃん | Himouto! Umaru-chan (Anime), Kuroshitsuji | Black Butler, Sword Art Online, and X -エックス- | X/1999.
Hello! If you're writing for me, or if you plan to send a treat, then thank you! Below I've listed some of what I hope to see from the exchange, and I hope my list of explanations/what I enjoy seeing in writing will help you out. For all of these I have chosen receiving either fanart and fanfic.
)I am also sorry I didn't have the time to finish this letter in time for the exchange. I'll try to add a little to it every once a while.)

Definitely likes:
I'm not usually squicked by injuries as long as they're handled well. I enjoy medical terminology as long as it's used correctly.
Word salad: soulmates, time travel, fairytales, enemies to friends/lovers, knights and royalty, childhood friends to lovers, betrayal, romantic imagery, world building, mind games, gray mortality, animals, platonic relationships, light canon or heavy AU, heavy canon and light AU, age gaps, angst, drama, slice of life, hurt/comfort, bittersweet or happy endings, gen stories or ship heavy stories
Would not prefer:
Second-person POV is usually not my cup of tea.
OCs stealing away canon characters.
Word salad: genderswap, bathroom things, drugs (depends, but usually not as a recreational thing—unless you're trying to nail down they're depressed beyond repair, like cigarettes for that one certain fandom below), necrophilia, bashing, non-con/rape, bestiality, abuse that doesn't fit the plot/character's personality
Kink related:
Go for PWP if that's your forte. Definitely not a requirement.
I thrive on emotions the most to give smut that extra spark, or anything psychological to spice things up. I really love emotional whiplash.
Word salad: dub-con, D/s relationships, BDSM (light bondage, blindfolds), possessiveness, obsessiveness, roleplay, formal wear (suits, fancy dresses), traditional Japanese attire (ex. kimono/yukata)
Code Geass
For Suzaku/Lelouch, I'd love to see them anywhere in the series. I'd love to see snippets of their childhood, and then later both of them remembering it together. I'd love to see scenes from before or after the Zero Requiem, or the time between seasons one and two.
Death Note
I really love the combinations of L/Light/Misa or even just L/Light or Misa/Light. The story can be set during the KIra investigation or not. For Misa, I'd love if she'd try to hog Light to herself and won't let anyone try to touch him, even L, and what problems that would bring. I put Takada/Misa, too, and I'd be happy to see how they might put the pieces together after Light's death if neither one of them were to die first. Would they hate each other anyway? I also would like to see Takada a little bit happy with Light in the end. Anything with Sayu and Light's familial relationship as they grew up would also be very sweet.
Light/Mikami: I want to see Light triumph and own his new world. I want to see Mikami at his side as his adviser/his not equal disciple. I'd like to see a Mikami not as devastated as he was in canon. That's not to say Mikami can't be manipulated, because he so easily is, but I just want him to be happy follower. I really have a soft spot for people who are so loyal to their cause, and I'm with the mindset that, while Mikami still did very horrible things, he only had a good vision at heart like Light did at the beginning that got distorted and blurrier along the way. Or, you could write about Mikami meeting Light earlier on in canon. How would that change things up if they met during the L case or even right after L's death? What would Mikami think of Light knowing who he was early on, and would he have doubts about his abilities or his God status? Challenging Light in itself like L might be an interesting idea.
Mello/Near: Case fic would probably be the best story driver for them. What kind of fic gets them closer together? Or, I would love to see stories of how they viewed each other growing up and their budding relationship at Whammy's.
Durarara!!

ご注文はうさぎですか? | Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? | Is the Order a Rabbit?
干物妹!うまるちゃん | Himouto! Umaru-chan (Anime)
The series was one of my favorite guilty pleasures over Summer 2015. I love the relationships between all the characters, and I love that Umaru is multi-faceted and juggles so many personalities. Her slobbish ways are usually close to being exposed to her friends, and usually she's an insufferable brat that can't stop being a child, but she has a good heart overall.
I'd like canon-compliant cuteness and fluff. I want to see all these pairs just being their wacky selves in slice-of life goodness (or maybe not), but if you want to dive into the deeper implications the series sometimes shows (like Umaru and Taihei's mother) then feel free. I'd like Taihei blowing his top at something else Umaru can't control herself over, or I'd even like Kirie realizing Umaru is not Komaru and Umaru finally explains. Sylphinford drags Umaru into something unexpected for a challenge. Maybe Ebina asks Umaru how to get to Taihei's heart, if you want to go in that direction!
Kuroshitsuji | Black Butler
Sword Art Online
I'd like Aincrad as the setting. I don't have anything against Alfheim or Gun Gale, but I have fonder moments of Aincrad. Unless, of course, you write something like Kirito/Asuda and Gun Gale would be the obvious choice.
I really think the Asuna, Kirito, and Yui dynamic is pretty adorable. If you could do anything with them with family feelings and the log cabin setting, that would be really sweet. But I'll enjoy a story with these three in any setting. Or if you don't want to include Yui I'll also enjoy Asuna and Kirito themselves.
X -エックス- | X/1999
My main ship is Seishirou/Subaru—which is my king OTP of all OTP if I don't say that enough. Still, I would encourage any other ships I have listed down.
There's not enough Arashi/Sorata floating around about their happiness being together. Perhaps both of them survive 1999 and live happily. You could also do something with Hokuto and Kotori. For that reason, I don't mind AUs. This isn't a ship I think of right away because the two never meet, but I think Kotori and Hokuto could meet during 1999 (and probably no death for either to make it work) or in death after Kotori is murdered in canon. I imagine their love for Subaru and Kamui, respectively, would be a good parallel. That bond might bring them closer, who knows?
Fuuma/Kamui is always interesting, especially character studies on Fuuma himself or the connection the two of them have to each other that goes beyond friendship—the fate they share and what the prophecy means for the world. Or Hokuto & Subaru sibling fluff is always adorable, and I honestly don't think you could go wrong with anything you write for them because the twins are precious. Maybe Subaru is even the one who tries to cheer up Hokuto. Usually, Hokuto is the one to do that in fics, so the change would be really sweet!
