Ø underage sexual content (under 18)
Ø genderswap/sexswap/different genitals than implied in canon
Ø setting-change AU (but vaguely merging it with the novel universe is okay)
Ø naming or describing-just-short-of-naming any character as aromantic, asexual or agender (naming other identities is okay, but please no issuefic or even 'issue sidenotes')

Illness - Sex Pollen Allergy
Scenario - Sick character must have sex or die

Additional fandom-specific and exchange-specific likes:
Basically just give Shen Wei some weird Dixingren-only illness (preferably not possible in real life) that leads to smut one way or another? :D In the "It Doesn't Work" scenario, I'd strongly prefer if the illness is cured in the end (by something else, maybe something totally unexpected, after they have tried the sex).
I don't have anything more specific in mind here, I'm going to love everything you come up with! ♡

Additional fandom-specific and exchange-specific likes:
Freeform-related ideas:
- heart stabbing and blood drinking (especially from the source), in the canon way and/or in a sexual way
- that one canon joke ("I thought maybe I was carrying your child") but it's true! I prefer mpreg as kink over mpreg as parenting, and I especially like the earliest stages
- anything to do with the canonical energy drain that leads to making out and/or smut
- sex pollen crack/humor and/or smut
Or anywhere else the freeforms lead you. :D I'm going to love everything you come up with! ♡
A more Bai-Yu-looking Zhao Yunlan would be very welcome in art, and feel free to give him facial hair in fic too. :)
Canon Weilan pet name preferences: No - wife, babe, baby. Yes - Ah-Lan, Ah-Wei, Xiao-Wei, or just no pet names at all.
I prefer the modern era to the primordial past.

My favorite movie that I will continue asking for :D I'd love anything either with Margot getting sick in prison by herself, when no one around will lift a real finger to help her, how horrifying and isolating the situation is. For Mark/Margot, anything with him caring for her while she's sick pre movie/during their affair or post film when she has a load of mental health issues on top of any physical illnesses that hit. And because I'm a sap who loves pregnancy/baby fic, if you want to do anything with that, I'd SCREAM in delight. Please don't get TOO TMI with the symptoms (like, I don't need graphic descriptions of shitting and vomit lol) but otherwise I'm free game to anything!

I LOVE FRANCES STEVENS!! I'd love anything about her being sick, and John taking care of her—and especially with how parentified she feels to me regarding her relationship with her mother, I think her being the one taken care of could be a fun change. But if you want him to be the sick one and Francie forcing him to rest/take care of himself, go ahead! Also please feel free to include Jessie in these scenarios, I love her crazy ass. And speaking of, I'd love a peak at Francie's childhood/earlier years (maybe even before her family had money) and how she often had to be the adult in the scenario? Again, please don't be too graphically TMI with any symptoms, but otherwise have fun!

Request 1 by Melime

Mediums: Medium - Sick Art, Medium - Sickfic

Scenario - A is not a natural caretaker but is trying their best to care for sick!B
Scenario - Sick character is openly vulnerable with caretaker

Treats welcome!

Second Doctor/Jamie: I just love the Second Doctor's and Jamie's relationship so much! I'm here for a romantic relationship or a queerplatonic relationship (or even an undefined, important relationship). Also, I love when Jamie tries to show off as this big strong Highlander who is afraid of no man and that ends up backfiring (think not managing to open the Cybermen tomb, or insisting that he won't be cold in the Himalayas and then complaining of the cold, which might work well with pretending he can't get sick/being in denial about being sick).

Third Doctor/Alistair: I think they're very sweet! The Doctor clearly learns to respect the Brigadier in time, and as exasperated as the Brigadier can be with him, he can also be so fond of the Doctor. One of my favourite moments for them is when the Brigadier scolds his scientist for doubting the Doctor's plan, saying of course it's going to work if the Doctor said so, and then turning to the Doctor to ask if it's really going to work. Also, when the Doctor took him to that show with the comic and dancers and the psychic, that had such a date night vibe! I also feel like the Brigadier wouldn't want to admit that he's sick, or maybe he feels as though he can't show any weakness except if they're alone?
