Hello writer!
Thank you for offering to write something for me, I can't wait to read it! The most important thing to know here is that I would be the most excited to read something YOU are enthusiastic about writing, as opposed to something that aligns with my prompts or suggestions, so please feel free to toss them fully out the window, especially if they are giving you a hard time. I'm new to exchanges so I haven't really gotten the hang of the best way to approach requests just yet.
That said, here is a reminder of my overall DNWs, with a little added detail:
I also cannot stress enough that if you're familiar with whatever fandom you choose to write for and know your idea has been done a thousand times, I am absolutely fine with that. I love reading variations on the same thing in fan fic over and over, especially if it hits my likes and character interests.
Also, the only reason I'm specifically tagging "smut" as a general like onto Descendants and Power Rangers rather than Barely Lethal and Ruby/Daisy for AoS is because the latter two are lacking in non-smut fics, BUT if that's what you prefer to write, please by all means go for it! My smut likes/dislikes can be found in last year's Consent Issues Exchange creator letter, until I get around to organizing all this stuff properly.
Okay, now on to the fandoms!
Apologies if you read my requests on the Ao3 sign-up, because I'm totally going to repeat myself before adding more info.
Barely Lethal
Liz Larson/Megan Walsh
Barely Lethal is about a teen spy/assassin named Megan (Hailee Steinfeld) who fakes her own death and goes to live with a normal family (the mom is Rachael Harris! the daughter is Dove Cameron! there's also a small boy child!) as a foreign exchange student from Canada. It's very Comphet Canon, but fortunately the teeny tiny fandom knows to queer it up.
What I love about it: I love the contrast between Megan's optimistic naivety and Liz's teen angst and I feel like there are so many opportunities for them to complement and challenge one another.
What I would love in fic: Anything action-y or angsty or hurt/comfort would be awesome. I would probably prefer something that leads to a relationship or is pre-relationship as opposed to firmly established relationship, but I'm good with anything!
Some ideas:
Descendants
Mal/Evie -or- Mal & Evie & Jay & Carlos
Descendants! If you're unfamiliar, the gist is that all the Disney villains got sent to the Isle of the Lost, where there is no magic, and had kids. Four of the villain kids get chosen to go to Auradon and go to school with the rhero kids and it is...an adjustment.
What I love about it: This is a fandom I fell into long before seeing the canon, and I much prefer the fandom interpretation of it all, aka Darker Disney. The first book touches on all the reasons why the Isle would have been a horrendously dark place to grow up--they got Auradon's scraps for foods, the VILLAINS were raising CHILDREN that they canonically do not seem to love, etc etc. You really cannot go with an interpretation of Descendants that is too dark for me.
What I love about Mal/Evie: Mal and Evie are one of my actual OTPs, I love them. They started out as enemies pre-canon (per the book) but it's just very clear they'll do anything for another, and it's a bond that probably wouldn't have happened had they grown up anywhere else. But as different as they are, they know each other so well, and you cannot convince me they are not ultimately each the most important person in the other's orbit.
What I love about Core Four friendship: Honestly, same as above! I just feel like they are all willing to go feral to protect one another in any combination, and have seen each other through their roughest shit. I love that they probably don't know how to talk about their love for one another, but that their actions undoubtedly speak for them.
What I would love in fic: Ayyyyy hurt/comfort or smut (or both...?) would definitely be ideal here. I love a Mal-emphasis, my traumatized little feral protector of the group, but I also love Evie. If you go friendship route, I would prefer the emphasis stay with one or both of them, but I would be fine with it revolving around any combination of the main four's friendship outside of that. I'm also fine with turning literally any character outside of the Core Four into a bad guy for the sake of fic, and I'm also fine with any of the Four lashing out at/hurting one another in their trauma, although I would prefer that option be nuanced and not just that they Suck. I'm also perfectly fine with you going as canon divergent or AU as you want with this one, even though my suggestions will likely all fall within the realm of canon for simplicity's sake.
Some ideas:
Fandom-specific likes: m/f friendships, protective/self-sacrificing behavior, being terrible with feelings, the villains are the bad guys but fuck actually the heroes are the bad guys too, we have no one to look out for us but we look after our own, abuse/aftermath of abuse, Mal being absolutely smitten with Evie (esp in smut)
Note: Most of my public bookmarks on ao3 are Descendants just because those are the ones I recently moved over from my previous account, so feel free to browse those to get an idea of things I like.
Power Rangers
Kim/Trini
Power Rangers! We all basically know Power Rangers, right?? I don't have to explain this?? Okay fine, five angsty kids find coins that give them powers and they have to secretly fight aliens and shit that invade Angel Grove.
What I love about it: I love that this version is all teen angsty, and I love the dynamic fandom has created between Kim and Trini. I also love the friendships with all the boys!
What I would love in fic: Honestly just more Power Rangers fic in general, it's pretty dead these days. Obviously hurt/comfort is always a great option for me, as is Kim/Trini smut. I'm interested in their Ranger adventures and I'm also interested in just the angsty high school aspect of it all (I'm fine with them still being Power Rangers as background or not). I do prefer a Kim-emphasis but good with either!
Some ideas:
Fandom-specific likes: friendship!, bullying, Trini being absolutely smitten with Kim (esp in smut)
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Daisy/Ruby, Daisy & Jemma & Fitz
The Marvel show nobody ever wants to talk about even though it's my favorite thing Marvel that has ever been on a screen! Alas. Agents of SHIELD is of course about a team led by Phil Coulson on adventures trying to protect earth from increasingly dangerous threats, ranging from alien invasions to robots to time travel shenanigans.
Why I love it: Daisy is probably my favorite character ever. A traumatized badass who is endlessly loyal and occasionally very stupid in her martyrdom? Yes, please. I also love the found family aspect of this show, and adore almost every single combination of characters in terms of friendship, so even though I would like a Daisy or Ruby focus, please don't feel limited by the characters I've listed otherwise. I'm the one who nominated them to begin with, I just didn't want to overwhelm with "Daisy Johnson & basically everyone."
Why I love the Bus Kids: Daisy, Jemma, and Fitz have been there from the start. They got thrust into this whole thing without really knowing what they were getting into, and I feel like it bonded them. In general, I just love Daisy's friendships with everyone because she spent her whole life bouncing between foster homes and never having a place to land and now she's finally found her people and it's just so aughhh I love it. Especially when it gets angsty and she questions things and feels betrayed and feels like everything is her fault and has to get talked down. Ahem anyway.
Why I love Daisy/Ruby: Nobody ships this, I'm aware. My rarest of rare pairs. But like, come on. Ruby is introduced with a poster of Daisy's superhero alterego, Quake, on her wall. It's obsession from the start. I love that Ruby basically lived the life Daisy would have if SHIELD hadn't bounced her around all those years--she was hidden away at HYDRA and raised to be a weapon, and boy did it fuck her up. I love that Daisy desperately wanted to give her a chance to become better.
What I would love in fic: In terms of Daisy/Ruby, my god, anything. There's so little. Almost all of it is smut, which is fine, you can give me smut, but I'd love anything exploring the What Could Have Beens. Preferably keeping to canon dynamics aka you don't have to pretend Ruby isn't like, fucking insane and make things all sweet and shippy. Because (spoiler alert) she dies in canon, I'm also fine with really any type of ending and it's okay if you choose to keep her alive or choose to keep that MCD warning here. In terms of Bus Kids or any friendship stuff, really just anything angsty or h/c with Daisy. I don't care if Fitz and Jemma are together or not, though I would prefer it not be an OT3, and I would rather Daisy either not be in a relationship with someone (besides Ruby) or have it be background. Mentions of past relationships are fine, eg spiraling over Lincoln's death, etc. Also good with any amount of canon divergence/AU you want to do here.
Some ideas:
Fandom-specific DNWs: Grant Ward redemption (fine if he's casually around pre-reveal, around as a bad guy, or if the story involves figuring out his betrayal), Phil/Daisy or Melinda/Daisy as a romance in any way, Ruby without a hiiiiint of humanity or likability
Thank you for offering to write something for me, I can't wait to read it! The most important thing to know here is that I would be the most excited to read something YOU are enthusiastic about writing, as opposed to something that aligns with my prompts or suggestions, so please feel free to toss them fully out the window, especially if they are giving you a hard time. I'm new to exchanges so I haven't really gotten the hang of the best way to approach requests just yet.
That said, here is a reminder of my overall DNWs, with a little added detail:
- 1st/2nd person
- major character death (temporary or canonical is fine, canons with the latter will have specific notes)
- massive time jumps outside of the scope of canon (flashbacks or fics that cover a greater scope are fine; I'm basically just trying to say if it's set in high school I don't want "here's their life together at age 70" fic)
- domestic fluff (some angst/stakes, pls)
- kidfic (meaning fics where they ARE kids or fics where they HAVE kids; inclusion of canonical kids is fine, flashbacks are fine, fics that cover a larger scope including some stuff when they're kids are fine)
- pregnancy (reference is fine but prefer it not be a focus)
- omegaverse
- coming out fic (characters coming out is fine, character confessing their crush on someone of the same gender for the first time is fine, I just prefer to not have the focus be "how do I tell X person that I'm LGBTQ+")
- unrequested gender headcanons
- religion/religious themes (outside of canon)
- hurt/comfort
- angst
- trauma exploration
- issue fic
- nightmares
- pining
- canon relationship dynamics
- darkfics
- HEA / bittersweet endings
I also cannot stress enough that if you're familiar with whatever fandom you choose to write for and know your idea has been done a thousand times, I am absolutely fine with that. I love reading variations on the same thing in fan fic over and over, especially if it hits my likes and character interests.

Some ideas:
- Megan being scary protective with her skills
- Megan accidentally hurting Liz because of her own kneejerk reactions to things that surprise her that are hard to shake
- a rewrite of any scene canon to be more angsty/serious/what have you
- Megan's spy past coming back to haunt them
- Megan and Liz discussing past traumas even if one or both of them didn't realize they were traumas
Descendants
Mal/Evie -or- Mal & Evie & Jay & Carlos
Descendants! If you're unfamiliar, the gist is that all the Disney villains got sent to the Isle of the Lost, where there is no magic, and had kids. Four of the villain kids get chosen to go to Auradon and go to school with the rhero kids and it is...an adjustment.

I'm also perfectly fine with you going as canon divergent or AU as you want with this one, even though my suggestions will likely all fall within the realm of canon for simplicity's sake.
Some ideas:
- Mal protecting any of the others from her mother/their parents/other Isle threats
- trouble adjusting to life in Auradon when they're used to constant threats around every corner
- coping with nightmares
- canon scenes made darker/canon divergence
- Ben just doesn't get Mal, but Evie does
- they get sent back to the Isle after the coronation
- general life on the Isle snippets
- Auradon kids taunting/not accepting them and accidentally triggering them
- the villains DID have magic on the Isle, how did that make things worse?
- character studies!
Fandom-specific likes: m/f friendships, protective/self-sacrificing behavior, being terrible with feelings, the villains are the bad guys but fuck actually the heroes are the bad guys too, we have no one to look out for us but we look after our own, abuse/aftermath of abuse, Mal being absolutely smitten with Evie (esp in smut)

Some ideas:
- protecting one another in a battle
- rewrite/divergence of any of the stuff with Rita
- dealing with Kim's fallout with Amanda
- trauma from fighting
- learning more about one another's lives (preferably with angst!)
Fandom-specific likes: friendship!, bullying, Trini being absolutely smitten with Kim (esp in smut)

Some ideas:
- anything involving Daisy's backstory/foster home shuffling
- anything with Ruby at whatever the HYDRA school was
- What if SHIELD found the underground HYDRA school/Ruby after HYDRA was uncovered?
- What if Daisy was taken prisoner there instead of Coulson in s5?
- Daisy finds Ruby when they're creating new timelines in s7
- someone helping Daisy through a panic attack
- anything with the Framework and/or Daisy's Doctor!Fitz trauma
- Ruby/Daisy hate!sex
Fandom-specific DNWs: Grant Ward redemption (fine if he's casually around pre-reveal, around as a bad guy, or if the story involves figuring out his betrayal), Phil/Daisy or Melinda/Daisy as a romance in any way, Ruby without a hiiiiint of humanity or likability
