Dear High Adrenaline Author
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. 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. I'm good with mpreg if you want to go that direction.
SFW DNWS (unless otherwise explicitly stated): on screen-death of any character, permanent death of a major character, angsty endings
NSFW DNWS: dub-con/non-con (unless otherwise explicitly stated), extreme kink, body fluids not meant to be involved in sex

Safety Fandom: Captain America: The First Avenger
Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes
Stucky is one of my favorite ships and I don’t care what canon says, there is no way in hell that after everything Steve went through to save Bucky that he would just leave him behind to go and be with Peggy. A few ideas:
1) Steve and Bucky in the late 1930s/early 1940s before WWII and the US Army intervene. This could be a getting together or an established relationship fic, I’m not picky.
2) Sneaking around in a war zone to be intimate with each other. I’m fine with Peggy and/or Howard and/or the Commandos busting them as long as they’re fine with it and help them keep their secret.
3) 1940s everyone lives AU where they both go home after the war. How do they readjust to civilian life. How do they explain away the fact that Steve is twice the size he used to be?
4) Post-Winter Soldier AU where Sam and Steve find Bucky before the events of Civil War can ever happen.
5) Civil War AU where Tony already knew that Hydra had his parents killed because Steve wasn’t a fucking coward and therefore that epic Stucky vs. Tony fight does not happen. Tony helps hide them from the government and fix Bucky and Bucky doesn’t have to go into cryo and Steve and Bucky have lots of quality time together.
6) Endgame AU where Steve stays in 2023 and he and Bucky live happily ever after.
Safety Fandom: Captain Marvel
Carol Danvers
Carol is one of my favorites. I’d love to see either a) more of her with Maria and Monica before she got her powers and was basically kidnapped by the Kree, b) what she was doing between Captain Marvel and Avengers Endgame, or c) what she’s been doing since Endgame. As much as I love the characters involved, The Marvels is a bit of a hot mess, so I'd prefer pretending it just doesn't exist.
Carol Danvers & Nick Fury
I'd love to see something with these two that takes a left turn into AU right after Captain Marvel ends. Show me every other time that Fury uses the pager to bring Carol back to Earth. Is it to remind her of important events or to deal with Skrull-related things or to deal with other canon events much differently - The Avengers and Captain America: The Winter Solider are the first two that pop in my head, but I'm good with any of the other movies as well.
Or for something more canon-compliant, I'd like to see them actually interact at and/or after Tony's funeral.
Let's just ignore The Marvels and Secret Invasion for these purposes.
Brilliant Minds
Josh Nichols/Oliver Wolf
I wasn't expecting to fall in love with this show or this pairing as much as I did. I haven't seen the last two episodes yet because I've been in the middle of moving, but I'll make sure that I'm fully caught up by the time of reveals, so feel free to include them if it fits your plot. I'd love to see domestic snippets or a complicated case where they have to work together, or maybe both woven into the same fic.
Harry Potter
Ginny Weasley & Percy Weasley
I would love to see something set within Chamber of Secrets where Ginny is the only one that knows about Percy's relationship, be it the canon one with Penelope or you want to go AU with Oliver. I'd also love to see them bonding after the war - again it can be canon compliant or it can be a Fred Lives AU.
Minerva McGonagall & Percy Weasley
I'd love to see McGonagall in a mentor role for Percy. She probably would have recognized early one that he's a lot different than the rest of his silbings - more introverted, actually knows what a rule is - and helps him identify and nurture his strengths. I'm good with either a canon-compliant fic or a canon-divergent AU,
Percy Weasley
Percy is my absolute favorite character in this fandom. I’d be happy with pretty much anything, but I do have a few ideas.
1) Given the size of the Weasley family, I can see Percy being the forgotten middle child, especially given how much trouble Fred and George cause. I’d love to see something exploring his childhood pre-Hogwarts - his perfectionism and uptightness could definitely come from feeling like he has to be perfect - and better than his older brothers - to be noticed by his parents.
2) Percy is aware that Fudge is using him to get close to Harry and intentionally estranges himself from his family in order to protect Harry and keep Fudge away from him.
3) Anything post-series with Percy repairing his relationship to his family. I’d prefer an AU where Fred lives - I haven’t finished reading Deathly Hallows specifically because “if I didn’t read it, it never happened.”
Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood
My OTP. My headcanon is that they dated all through Hogwarts (we’ll just ignore that pesky canon girlfriend thing), so I’d love to see one of those little moments, or a series of moments. Snippets of Post-Hogwarts life would be awesome as well.
Numb3rs
Charlie Eppes/Colby Granger
I started shipping these two pretty much as soon as I started the show. I've written Janus List/Trust Metric centric fic in the past and would love to see more in that vein. How does Charlie react to Colby’s seeming betrayal? How do they rebuild things after that?
Colby Granger/Ian Edgerton
I’d love to see something that draws the parallels between Colby in Janus List/Trust Metric and Ian in Ultimatum and how both impact their relationship.
Marvel Cinematic Universe
James "Bucky" Barnes/Sam Wilson
I started playing around with this ship from the moment in Civil War where Sam wouldn’t move the seat up for Bucky. I’d love to see something that builds on/continues from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier where Sam & Bucky are learning how to work together without Steve there and it ultimately develops further. I’d also be good with an AU where Steve is still around and/or Infinity War & Endgame never happened.
James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers
Stucky is one of my favorite ships and I don’t care what canon says, there is no way in hell that after everything Steve went through to save Bucky that he would just leave him behind to go and be with Peggy. A few ideas:

Tony helps hide them from the government and fix Bucky and Bucky doesn’t have to go into cryo and Steve and Bucky have lots of quality time together.
6) Endgame AU where Steve stays in 2023 and he and Bucky live happily ever after.
Steve Rogers/ Tony Stark
I’m open to canon-based fics where Steve and Tony do have to get past their initial antagonism and it becomes a slow burn into a relationship. I do see a lot of AU here depending on timeline - if they’re together before Civil War, that probably plays out a lot differently. And if they end up getting together between Civil War and Infinity War because Tony actually uses the cell phone Steve sent him, Infinity War/Endgame will look a lot different and maybe The Snap never happens at all. I don’t want to see any homewrecking, so I’d prefer that Tony was not with Pepper romantically before getting with Steve.
I’d also be happy with an AU where Howard was a much less shitty father and Steve gets found sooner and he and Tony start dating as Steve gets acclimated to the 1990s or early 2000s. Finding Steve any sooner means Tony would be too young - please don’t put them together until Tony can legally drink. Bonus points if the AU also has Howard still alive and he has to deal with his son’s boyfriend being someone that technically is his own age - according to the MCU wiki, Howard was born 11 months before Steve.
Star Trek: Alternate Original Series
James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
I’ve been shipping these two since the very first time that I saw Trek 2009 and I would love to see a first time fic with them. It can be set during the time jump in that movie or later one once their positions on the Enterprise are established.
James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
I see this as Kirk & Bones being as established couple and then mutually deciding to seduce Spock. Timeline wise I see this as being either between Trek 2009 and Into Darkness or between Into Darkness and Beyond.
James T. Kirk/Spock
This is definitely a slow burn situation because these two did not like each other at first. I’d love to see how they progress from not liking each other, to tolerating each other, to being friends, to being lovers. (Past Spock/Uhura is okay to include at long as Kirk isn’t the reason they broke up - no homewreckers please.)
Star Wars Original Trilogy
Leia Organa/Han Solo
I grew up with the Young Jedi Knights series and prefer that over what the Sequel Trilogy gave us. I’d love to see them building their lives together after the dust settles from defeating the Empire.
Luke Skywalker/Han Solo
I’d love to see either stolen moments during the Original Trilogy or them figuring out the how to balance their relationship with their post-Rebellion lives.
Stargate Atlantis
Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
While I’ve dabbled with other ships, especially for John, this is the very first ship I had for this show and I’ve been revisiting it as of late. Given that Rodney tends to be a bit oblivious to the fact that someone is into him, I’d love to see something with John convincing him that yes he’s into him. I’m fine with them having to date within the confines of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell or a case where DADT is technically policy, but no one on Atlantis cares or pretending that policy never existed and bigotry isn’t an issue.
Torchwood
Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones
While this is one of my few canon ships, there is so much that we don’t get to see. Fill in one of those gaps. If you go the mpreg route with this pairing, please make sure Jack is the one pregnant, given Jack’s “at least I won’t get pregnant - never doing that again” line from the first episode. At the beginning of Children of Earth when Jack yelled out "Ianto, we're having a baby," when he learned Gwen was pregnant, based on Ianto's facial expressions, he definitely totally thought Jack was pregnant at first.
I'd prefer either AUs where Children of Earth never happened or Children of Earth fix-its where Ianto never died or gets brought back somehow.
