Hello! I am ovely on AO3 (and tobli on DW). If you want a sense of what I’m into, the fullest catalogue of my own fic is on my website. This page is where I keep transient exchange letters, along with general DNWs, likes etc.

• loss of limbs
• torture
• poetry or song lyrics (except as sources for titles/epigraphs)
• non-canon characters playing major roles

Fic likes

• angst and hurt/comfort
• characters suffering from headaches, fevers, fatigue, depression
• (witty/sarcastic) banter and repartee
• mundane things, details, trivial worldbuilding
• inconsequential conversations
• ambiguous relationships, ambiguous endings

• the usually subservient partner taking the lead in bed
• first times where one of them knows they’re really into it but it takes the other a moment to realise they like it a lot too

• one partner being naturally gentle and the other (a bit) rough but it works

Common DNWs that I’m fine with

• intragenerational incest
• setting change AUs
