wicked smut goddess

I read in a ton of fandoms, but this is mostly geared towards Harry Potter. Most of these likes are pretty general, but they hold most true for my OTPs (in HP's case Harry/Draco and James Sirius/Teddy). I'm a lot less particular when it comes to the other pairings I enjoy.

And, of course, this is just a list of my general preferences. For just about all of my "dislikes" I can think of fabulous exceptions. If you are making something for me, I can pretty much guarantee I'm going to love it! <3

Tons of thanks to birdsofshore, from whom I stole this format/organization of ideas.

For a more generalized cross-fandom list of likes/dislikes, you can go HERE.

updated March 2016

[Pairings]Favourite Pairings:

• Harry/Draco is my OTP and I love them to pieces
• Teddy/James Sirius is my favorite after Harry/Draco. I love a BFF friendship between them that evolves into more. With all the mutual pining and but he’s practically my brother and what will our family say that goes along with it. :D
• Slash Cross Gen (In general) I like this best when the older guy is a bit more dominant/predatory with a more innocent younger guy, or with a more seductive younger character with a guilty/reluctant but can’t resist older guy. Favorite pairings include: Harry/Sirius, Draco/Severus, Draco/Albus Severus or James Sirius, & Charlie/Teddy [The only Cross Gen pairing that really comes to mind as a no-go is Harry/Scorpius]
• Any pairing that shows up on any of my recs lists: A few favorites are James Sirius/Albus Severus, James/Sirius, Harry/Ron, Albus/Gellert, & Charlie/Draco
• Secondary Pairings: When it comes to secondary pairings, I generally prefer canon couples. I'm actually much pickier about my secondary pairings that I am about the primary pairings I read, especially for Harry. If he isn't in the main pairing, I really only want to see him with Draco (provided Draco isn't in the main pairing either) or Ginny.

[Squicks]Squicks:

• Infidelity (especially between Harry/Draco, I'm more okay with them cheating on their wives to be together, but still not my favorite of things)
• Major Character Death (this is a pretty hard no)
• Child death (miscarriages, fics where a child has died, or fics dealing with the aftermath of child death)
• Rape/non-con (especially between Harry and Draco)
• Unhappy endings (though ambiguous is generally okay, especially if hopeful)
• Harry with any woman other than Ginny (mentioned in passing/in the past is okay, but not as a large part of a fic or a main pairing, even a secondary pairing)
• Harry/Scorpius or James Sirius/Scorpius (pretty much my two main NOTPs)

[Dislikes]Things I would rather not read:

• Mpreg (doesn't usually grab me--I'm pretty particular--but I prefer preg!Harry)
• Heavy angst (I don't find suffering/angst to be at all cathartic)
• Polyamory (just more of a pairings person, also not a huge fan of threesomes w/ my OTP generally speaking)
• Breakup!Fic (for some reason this trope just depresses me)
• Kid!Fic (not generally a fan of kid-centric H/D fic or overly cute children)
• Character bashing (especially Ron and Hermione bashing)
• Wand Insertion (IDK what to call this one , but please don't stick wands up any orifices...)
• Genderplay (fics that focus on gender/gender identity tend to be more complicated for me due to personal reasons, so if you're writing a fic for me, I'd probably recommend you avoid it unless you know me really well. I'm also not generally a fan of fics that feature either Harry or Draco as a cis girl.)
• Draco with long hair (this one's a bit silly, I know)
• 2nd person POV (generally speaking. I've read a few I've enjoyed, but it's a harder sell)
• Sexual Terms (a few specifics: not crazy about men calling each other their "bitch" in a sexual context, please don't refer to assholes as a man's pussy/cunt, please don't use the spelling cum)
• Fics without sex (this one is more "in general")
• This last one is pretty Harry specific, but I really prefer when Harry has never been involved with or at least never been in love with another man, and, to a lesser extent any women other than Ginny. I don't know why, but Harry being in love with somebody other than Draco makes me feel kind of gross. Except for Ginny. I can handle him just fine with Ginny. Not as bothered by it in Draco's case.

Tropes that aren’t my favorite:

• amnesia!fic
• rentboy!fic
• big gay hogwarts
• down and out!draco
• de-aging
• match-making
• time travel

• body swap

[Likes]General likes:

• Witty dialogue and banter
• Getting-together fics
• PWP, long!fic, short!fic, plotty!fic (ALL THE FIC)
• UST (especially when eventually resolved)
• 8th year Hogwarts, Immediately Post-War, and Post-Hogwarts are my favorites. I prefer the boys somewhat younger, early-mid 20's
• I enjoy Epilogue Compliant as well, but the others are my preferred Eras
• Pining
• Tattoos and scars
• Glasses!Draco
• Leather Jacket!Harry (+ Sirius’ motorcycle...)
• Acknowledgment of Harry’s crappy childhood, how that affects him in life
• Draco being a little bit taller, Harry being a bit more muscular
• Wearing each other's clothing
• Clever/Bookish/Brainy Draco
• Competent/Intelligent Harry
• Unusual jobs when done believably
• I have a thing for wrists and throats, characters being drawn to them, wrists being pinned to a surface, hands splayed possessively over a throat, exposed necks and collarbones...
• Draco having a support system in his Slytherin friends. I really prefer when they are a bit suspicious/mistrusting of Harry & co. Not hostile, but I don't love when Draco's "people" seem to be better friends with Harry than with Draco.
• I love Ron and Hermione, together and separately. If not together, I prefer straight!Ron and I really love lesbian!Hermione or don’t-need-no-man!Hermione (lesbian!Ginny is also great)

Favorite Tropes:

• Creature!Fic: Veela, Werewolves, Vampires, bring it on! Slight preference for Creature!Draco
• Forced proximity: Confined spaces, shared bed, forced to work/room together
• Bonding!fic: Forced, accidental, physical, mental, it's all good!
• Sex for ~reasons~: Sex magic, sex compulsion, fuck or die, sex pollen
• Quidditch!fic: With all the sexy uniforms, rivalries, and locker room/shower!sex

Technical Things:

• 3rd person POV is my preferred tense (I also like 1st person, but it can be a bit more hit or miss for me, 2nd person is my least favorite but, again, I've read some brilliant ones)
• Past and Present Tense are equally wonderful
• Linear timelines (I like non-linear when it's relatively straightforward. I don't enjoy feeling confused about when things are happening; I'm too much of a control freak)

Things I adore (mostly in smut):

• DIRTY TALK
• BDSM: D/s dynamics, spanking, paddling, blindfolds, handcuffs, collars, ropes, restraints, kneeling, orgasm denial
• Blow jobs, especially on knees. Also love a good face-fucking (in fic)
• Intercrural and intergluteal sex
• Arse play, rimming, fingering, especially after having sex or when slightly sore (from previously having sex)
• Biting/Marking
• Rough or angry sex
• Sleepy sex and somnophilia
• Tender and intense sex
• Sex in places that aren’t the bed (Shower sex, wall sex, table sex, desk sex...)
• a/b/o dynamics, including, but not limited to: knotting, heat cycles, claiming, mates, etc.
• Power play. Inequality (in the bedroom).
• Age disparity. Cross gen.
• Professor/student, boss/employee, other power play scenarios
• Basically I just really have a thing for scenarios where the characters shouldn't be having sex/want to have sex.
• Dub con. I really adore dub con. Especially when the one getting it ends up really desperate for it.
• Praise!kink and to some extent daddy!kink (I really don’t like daddy kink for H/D at all though, and I prefer a lighter hand when used in general)
• Uniforms: boots, leather, buttons, buckles, gloves
• Thin nightshirts
• Partially clothed sex
• Cross-dressing is hit-or-miss for me, but for some reason I love a bit of panty!kink

• First times. Inexperience. Clumsiness. Innocence. Awkwardness. Nervousness. Either both partners are nervous or one being more composed and experienced. (if it's H/D, I generally prefer Draco to be the more experienced one).

[Sex Roles]Topping/Bottoming:

• When it comes to H/D I don’t mind who does what, and my preference is for switching, either explicitly shown or implied. That being said, I do adore top!Draco, if I had to pick just one. When it comes to Cross Gen, I tend to prefer the older character topping.

BDSM roles:

• I tend to enjoy stories with Draco as the Dom. I believe Draco's vulnerabilities and disenfranchisement after the War would make him naturally want to take the dominating role. Likewise, I see Harry finding great relief and satisfaction in letting go as a sub. I have a really difficult time buying Harry as a Dom lately, for a plethora of reasons, so if that's what you prefer to write, it's probably best to stay away from BDSM-type things for me. :) [italicized part belongs to birdsofshore because I could not have put it any better]

PLEASE NOTE: As of December 2016 this page is no longer being updated. I cross-post everything to AO3, and it doesn't really make sense for me to continuously update this page, when AO3 functions perfectly well as an archive of my work.

Finally starting to get my writing mojo back! Part of that is just working through the post-holiday slump, but partly it's signing up for spnkinkbingo, which has reinvigorated me! Worked on a bunch of different fics this past week, and I think having the variety to choose from helped me not get stuck.

Most recent non-fiction read focusing on the fashion industry and over-consumption. A bit broad, but well-written.

The Edge of Sadness by Edwin O'Connor
Most recent Pulitzer Prize Winner read. I didn't have high expectations and it kind of blew me out of the water. Understated, but poignant and beautifully written.

The Accusation by Bandi
Most recent audiobook listen as part of my Around the World Reading Challenge for North Korea.It's a collection of fictionalized short stories critical of the regime and I thought it was brilliant.

Oh man, the muse, she has been struggling!! I *want* to write, but a lot of my fics are at tricky bits and my brain has not been functioning at peak performance, so any sign of roadblock right now and the words dry right up. But honestly, nothing I'm working on right now has a firm deadline, so I'm trying to be flexible and remind myself that if a certain fic isn't flowing, I can open up any one of my many, many WIPs and work on that! Anything at this point just to try and get some writing momentum, because I know the longer I stall out, the harder it'll be to get going again.

Weekly Word Count (1/5-1/11) = 2,454

• Wincest Season 7 Coda: sent to beta!


• Wincest 5+1: sent to beta!


• Wincest Panty!Kink: wrote a couple of paragraphs.


• Wincest Does New Mexico: started drafting.


• Dream!Fic - HP: went back and drafted the smut scene placeholder, and then wrote a couple of paragraphs of the final scene.


• Monster Daddy Sam Collab: dusted off ye olde WIP, did a read-through with very light edits, and refined the outline a bit in preparation to actually start writing again!

Next Week's Goals

• Monster Daddy Sam Collab: have at least one writing session and see what happens!


• Dream!Fic - HP: I'd love to finish writing the final scene.


• Wincest Fic TBD: I have multiple Wincest fics in various states and IDK yet what my muse is feeling most drawn to. So I'd like to work on at least one of these fics, but I don't yet have a firm idea of which fic that will be.

What did you recently finish reading?

In an Unspoken Voice: How the Body Releases Trauma and Restores Goodness by Peter A. Levine
Most recent non-fiction read. I really enjoyed it, a lot more than The Body Keeps Score, which is more well-known, but didn't resonate as much with me.

The Scapegoat by Sophia Nikolaidou
Most recent read for my Around the World Reading Challenge for Greece. Overall I enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I'd been expecting and I think those mismatched expectations sort of prevented me from fulling getting absorbed.

The Saint of Steel Series Books 2 & 3 by T. Kingfisher
I really enjoy this author and this steampunk fantasy-type series is a delight! Book 3 features a MM couple, which was lovely, and I'm very excited that there'll be more books to look forward to.

Seanceon a Summer's Night by Josh Lanyon
Most recent MM romance read. I generally very much enjoy this author and I definitely prefer their full-length novels over their short stories given their tendency to short-change us on the conclusion.

Reveals went up this morning over at hd_erised, which means I can claim this smutty little pinch hit I took on! I've not published much HP/Drarry fic in the past year, but it was fun to revisit these two!

No Winning Without Losing by gracerene

If Draco had to lose to another Seeker, at least it was to somebody talented, somebody who really gave him a run for his money.

He just wished that somebody wasn't Harry Potter.

Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~6,800
Content/Warnings: EWE, Post-Second Wizarding War with Voldemort, Quidditch Player Harry & Draco, fame and infamy, clubs, drinking, sexually confident Harry, bets & wagers, rivals to lovers, sexual tension, banter, rimming, hand jobs, dirty talk, blow jobs, post-sex fingering, bottom Harry, implied switching
Author’s Notes: This was written as a hd_erised​ pinch hit for the wonderful greenmegsnoham whose sign-up was such a delight and chock-full of so many goodies it was hard to decide what direction to take their gift in! I went the smutty route, because of course I did, and I had a lot of fun finally finishing a Drarry fic after months of working on fics with them that've yet to see the light of day!

Love and eternal gratitude to firethesound & writcraft for helping to make this presentable.

2022 GOALS

2022 Total Word Count Goal: 150,000

2022 Total Writing Days Goal: 220

Last year I was just under 200k, and while I think 175k is probably a good goal for me in 2022, I'm also not feeling particularly inspired at the moment, so going with the lower number feels safer. ( Collapse ) This entry was originally posted here on Dreamwidth. Please comment there using OpenID
