EXCHANGES

Greetings, Exchange Creator, you have reached the letter for Salamander! This page includes Likes (both general and nsfw), DNWs (Do Not Wants) (both general and nsfw), sections for each fandom with sections within for each ship, and a list of prompts and ideas for each ship which you may use if you so desire. Although some sections are longer than others, this doesn't mean I would rather have those than any others - for FFXII and FFXIV especially I have just accumulated prompts and ideas over the years.

The prompts are not mandatory so feel free to pick and choose as you will.

Use the links in this contents list to jump to whichever ship or fandom you require. Click on the ‣ titles to expand and collapse each section!

LIKES

General Likes

— Age difference: especially a much older guy with either someone a looot younger, or middle aged. Think 60s with someone either 20 or in their 40s! Focus on this is my favourite thing.
— Fluff: this one feels self-explanatory, but I just love fluffy shit! Even in kinky sex, I love it when the characters show they love each other, in a not-necessarily verbal way. Small touches, considerations of their partner's likes/dislikes, and I especially love it when their words don't match up with their actions. Like, a character says "we're not made for tenderness, you and I," but then is touching the other in a tender fashion, or something that would be tender for them. GETS ME EVERY FUCKIN TIME.
— Snark: banter, back and forth, swearing and casual conversation, and especially if it goes towards characterisation.
— Awkward and realistic sex: especially in relation to the age difference mentioned above! What's better than this, an older guy having to change position cos his knees are fucked, or his war wounds and scars are fucking him up?! This includes chatting during sex, whether a back and forth of banter or talk that you would generally find in actual real life meatspace sex.
— Loyalty kink: it's all about that Eternal Loyalty! *fist clench* Kings and their retainers or protectors, Commanders and their loyal subordinates, going the extra mile because they love them so much. Pushing themselves harder, taking more and faster than they probably should, just to make their superior proud. Especially if it goes both ways, and even more especially if this power dynamic comes into play during sex (but not in an abusive way). Title usage making someone horny, use of rank as a consensual power thing over the subordinate. HNNGH.
— Disability: characters actually being affected by their wounds or disabilities, exploration of how that would affect their lives and relationships, and their sex life. This is especially great in fix-it fic, if one half of the pair is saved from dying but has to then deal with being permanently disabled. I'll go into more detail on this in the specific ship sections, as I have some headcanons for certain characters and ships!

Art Likes

— Black and white, or monochrome with a splash of colour
— Close ups and intimate details
— Any of the things in my NSFW likes list
— Small moments, kisses, hand holding/kissing, hands in general
— Soft lighting
— Focus on age - grey hairs, wrinkles and crinkles!
— Noses in profile..... profiles in general tbh lol

NSFW Likes

— Double/triple/multiple penetration: in one hole or a combination of holes.
— Fisting
— Gunplay, knifeplay and weaponplay: if it involves a weapon being used in a sexy way, count me the fuck in. I go into some detail here about what it is I like so much about gunkink.
— Gloves and leather: gloves on for sex? GOOD. Gloves in mouth? VERY GOOD.
— Clothes and armour kink: leave those gauntlets on, aww yeee.
— Size kink: kinking on size difference, big cocks that barely or don't fit, all good!
— Bloodplay: blood as lube, biting or licking blood off fingers? GOOD. Especially when combined with the aforementioned weaponplay.
— Tentacles, teratophilia: and other monster shit.
— Collars, choking and deepthroating
— Sounding
— Hair pulling
— Fireplay: this one is quite specific to one pairing, so I will elaborate in the relevant ship section.
— Transformation
— Oviposition in all forms:! Loads of eggs, consensual or non-consensual, it's all good!
— Erectile Dysfunction: Fairly self-explanatory, but I just love it when older guys can't get it up!
— Cockwarming: Again self-explanatory, especially good when combined with erectile dysfunction!
— Overstimulation: Getting fucked until they can't come any more, or lots of foreplay and general sexual stimulation. Another good one to combine with erectile dysfunction!

DNWs

General DNWs

— 1st & 2nd person, and present tense: I prefer 3rd person past tense, although you can choose whether you want a tight POV or a more omniscient narrator. The exception to this is epistolary fic or mediums, which I adore! Any time I request epistolary, this DNW is excepted.
— Unhappy endings
— Manipulation and misunderstandings: kinda self-explanatory! I hate it when drama is generated through misunderstandings caused by miscommunication, or when one character is coldly manipulating the other. Even though a lot of my ships and requests are semi-antagonistic, or at least they have a certain sort of spicy tension, I prefer that to come from a place of mutual respect and liking.
— Unrequested ships: no unrequested relationships mentioned or involved at all please.
— Children: requested characters adopting children, requested characters having children or looking after children, or otherwise being surrogate/actual parents unless specified as part of the ship (ie: for incest-related kinks) - all of this unless specified within the request, freeforms or additional tags
— Weight-related things: negativity around weight, weight gain. Also includes things like stuffing, feederism etc.
— Humilation: whether as kink, consensual non-consensual or otherwise!
— Spouses/RL Relationships: for any RPF ships, no mention of IRL spouses or relationships at all - I'd prefer if they were totally ignored. I Pretend I Do Not See It!
— Needles
— Trypophobia things/Small Holes
— Corruption, bugs, infestations in the body
— Cold, unfeeling sex: sex as a means to an end, sex that doesn't matter. The only exception to this is in a pre-relationship scenario, where the characters haven't realised their feelings - fucks, friends or enemies with benefits - but even then, I prefer those situations to have mutual respect or liking involved, and this will be specified in any ships where it's okay.
