Hetswap 2020 Letter
Jul. 20th, 2020 10:14 pm Hi Hetswapper:
Thanks for looking at my letter. First, exchange-specific info. Second, fandom- and relationship-specific prompts. Finally, my big list of preferred tropes and kinks if you're looking for more general ideas for a fic or art.
For this exchange I have no hard DNWs and I'm comfortable receiving fic or art of any rating. I do most of my fandom social media over at Tumblr - http://coaldustcanary.tumblr.com/ - so if you want to peruse it to get a sense of what I like feel free.
Fandoms and prompts:
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015)

Illya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo/Gaby Teller
Illya Kuryakin/Gaby Teller
Napoleon Solo/Gaby Teller
What I like about the canon: Spy hijinx, snappy banter, reluctantly cooperative enemies due to international politics become friends and a weird little oddly-fond found family of sorts.
Illya/Napoleon/Gaby is my OT3 of choice these days, but I am very keen on both Illya/Gaby and (the odd couple) Napoleon/Gaby as well. Don't feel hemmed in my my prompts - I am always happy for anything for this fandom, especially tropey nonsense that fits with spy games - truth serum, sex pollen, sharing a bed (for the mission!), etc.
For art, anything that plays with the really gorgeous palette of the film would be amazing. Character-wise, either or both of the guys helping Gaby - with picking out clothes, with learning spy skills, or with a kiss or a cuddle or an orgasm would be a delight.
For the trio: In the spirit of the exchange, something that focuses on the boys' relationship with Gaby would be keen. Maybe they get competitive over teaching her about their Elite Spy Skills while trying to one-up the other, with Gaby dryly amused in the middle. (Maybe they keep trying to one-up the other in the "best in bed" department, too.)
For Illya/Gaby, I like the notion of them being undercover together like in the film on a later mission, but perhaps having to play at a different dynamic - for example, maybe months later they've begun a relationship for real, but instead of playing a loving couple in the field they have to pretend to be at each others' throats.
For Gaby/Napoleon, maybe they banged that first night in the CIA apartment in Berlin, caught between actual interest in one another and feeling obliged to mutually seduce each other for the job? Or on a more angsty note, maybe after working for UNCLE for a time Illya dies or is recalled to Russia and they end up falling into a relationship with one another in his absence.

Wishverse Captain Hook | Detective Rogers/Evil Queen | Regina Mills
Captain Hook | Killian Jones/Milah
Requesting my rarepairs with crossed fingers for this fandom. What I like about the fandom: Female character-focused action with the menfolk as supporting players. Ridiculous excuses to throw fairy tale worldbuilding in a blender.
For Wish Hook (Rogers)/Regina, something set in Hyperion Heights in S7 or in the Enchanted Forest post-series would be great. If during the curse, I love the idea of the recovering alcoholic Rogers and bartender Roni (Regina) having a mutual understanding, and maybe a "friends with benefits" kind of arrangement. Post-series, I like the idea of Wish Hook thinking Queen of All The Realms Regina is well out of his league, but Regina misses her friend, this softer, gentler version of Hook that she's come to really love.
For Hook/Milah, give me all the high romance and adventure of their time together as pirates before Milah's death. Or some kind of AU where she's able to return to Storybrooke from the Underworld. Their lack of closure burns at my soul, to be quite frank.

Geralt/Yennefer (Witcher TV)
Geralt/Jaskier/Yennefer (Witcher TV)
What I like about this fandom: A fun and solidly entertaining show that far exceeded my low expectations. Magic and weirdness and really embracing the full fantasy setting would be great for a fic or in art.
For Geralt/Yennefer - some missing scenes from the time between episodes would be great. It's clear that Geralt and Yennefer were alternately sexing and antagonizing one another semi-regularly. Tell me about or show me Geralt and Yennefer's sexcapades or them competing (as in episode 1.6) for a magical item or resource. (It seems like that wasn't the first time something like that happened.) Or, tell me about a different time they fought together on the same side--that whole battle-couple thing was *extremely* hot and clearly they'd done something similar before... Yen pegging Geralt would be excellent if that's of interest.
For Geralt/Jaskier/Yennefer - Jaskier and Yennefer realizing that they're just one another's favorite kind of bitch and lovingly ganging up on (*cough* topping *cough*) Geralt when he's being an idiot would be fun. The threesome here can absolutely be v-shaped with Geralt as the point, or it can be totally mutual all the way around.

General trope preferences (these are in no particular order, may not apply to all fandoms/characters/relationships and include both plot tropes and sexual acts, with my most bulletproof trope/kinks in bold, so feel free to run with one if you're inspired):
hurt/comfort (physical and/or emotional), whump, torture, soulmates and soul bonds (and soulmate subversion, and soulmates played dark or strange), sex pollen, fuck or die, dubcon (especially when one person or both/all participants are consenting only under duress due to outside circumstances, such as "bad guys/magic made them do it" or sex pollen), bondage, canon divergence/"what if" AUs, first time sex (both first time sex ever for a character and first time with particular partner(s)), sex magic, pegging, praise kink, loyalty kink, sharing a bed, huddling for warmth, falling asleep on partner's shoulder, cuddling, spooning, competitive sex games (who can make the other orgasm the fastest, who can resist orgasm the longest, who can successfully finish a task while the other partner tries to get them off or tries to entice them into sex, etc), begging during sex ("please!"), sex as an emotional outlet in the wake of tragedy or grief, battle couples/trios, magical aus (give non-magical characters/canons magic), alternate magical system AUs (keep the magic, but make it different somehow), Dominance/submission (I prefer not to read lifestyle/24-7 D/s stuff, however, and if it's het I generally prefer the female character be dominant), sex between platonic friends, future fic and "next gen" fic about children of canonical characters, ghosts, communicating with the dead (via magic or weird science), enemies to lovers, threesomes, werewolves, time loops/Groundhog Day premise, competence kink, vulnerability, undercover antics and/or identity porn, sleep deprivation/exhaustion, hair touching/running fingers through hair, helping others with personal care (hair washing, injury tending, etc), noble self-sacrifice (risking harm or death to spare others punishment or to allow them to escape)
