Dear Trauma Exchange Author

[capsquared]

Thanks so much for writing for me. I’m not listing the individual freeforms, but rather some scenarios that I think they may apply to.

Genre thoughts: I love both the fluffiest of fluff and the smuttiest of smut. I don’t expect to see both in the same fic, but if you can make it work, power to you. I have a complicated relationship with angst - it’s fine if there’s some there, but I prefer it conclude with a happy ending. Given that I have multiple fandoms that include teenagers, please make sure everyone is 18+ - and that it’s made clear in the fic - if there’s going to be any smut.

Character death thoughts: Permanently killing a main character is a big fat DNW for me, unless I've explicitly stated otherwise in a specific request. Referencing the death of a minor character is okay, as long as it’s not a primary plot point. Basically - fic opens at a funeral or passing reference to someone that died before the events of the story, okay. Minor character dying in the middle of the story, DNW. Temporary character death is okay, as long as the resurrection occurs at the end of the story. Fix-it option for anyone dead in canon.

Pregnancy/kid fics: Yes please. I adore all sorts of kid fics. While I’m okay with mpreg as a general concept, I don't really see it fitting any of the requests this time.

SFW DNWS: on screen-death of any character (unless otherwise explicitly stated), permanent death of a major character (unless otherwise explicitly stated), angsty endings

NSFW DNWS: dub-con/non-con (unless otherwise explicitly stated), extreme kink, body fluids not meant to be involved in sex


CSI
Greg Sanders/Nick Stokes (Greg traumatized), Greg Sanders/Nick Stokes (Nick traumatized)

I picked the freeform tags with Stalker/Play with Fire/Grave Danger/Fannysmackin’ in mind, but I’m also good with any another traumatic event - be it a canon one that occurs outside those episodes, or one that you make up.

I do tend to see the traumatic events as a catalyst for Nick & Greg to either start dating or take another step in their relationship (moving in, telling Nick’s family, getting engaged, etc), so feel free to include something along those lines.

Numbers
Colby Granger, Charlie Eppes/Colby Granger (Colby traumatized), Ian Edgerton/Charlie Eppes/Colby Granger (Colby traumatized)

I made this request with the Janus List/Trust Metric episodes in mind. I’d love to see Colby healing and putting his life back together.

If you go with the solo tag, instead of one of the relationship tags, I’d like to see either gen team fic or Colby’s friendship with David since it was strained and in desperate need of repair.

I am also open to a different traumatic event happening to Colby.

Stargate Atlantis
Evan Lorne/John Sheppard (John traumatized), Rodney McCay/John Sheppard (John traumatized), Rodney McCay/John Sheppard (Rodney traumatized)

John & Rodney are such trouble magnets that there’s no shortage of things to choose from, but I’m also fine with making up your own event.

In terms of the John traumatized tags, I see Evan being much better at the comfort part than Rodney. Rodney will probably accidentally make it worse before it gets better just because his people skills aren’t the best.
