Dear H/C Exchange author,

Thank you for writing for me in this exchange! This is my second time signing up, and my previous letter is here should you want to reference it. I have also done a number of other exchanges in the past, and have letters linked in my sticky post should you want to get even more ideas about what I like. It doesn't change much and I don't mind you skipping things mentioned below and using something from an older request. :) Basically: soft h/c scenarios and caretaking-type things are 100% my jam.

Overall DNWs: violence against women, pain/injury beyond what is shown/implied/used in canon, torture (to be clear: I mean on-screen or currently-happening physical torture - if what you want to write involves a mention of a past situation that the canon or the character would consider torture, that's fine as long as there's no continual dwelling on or long descriptions of the past torturing), bathroom kinks, A/B/O AUs, COVID-specific sickfic.

Things I love in general: found family, threesomes/moresomes, food as a metaphor for love, caretaking (bathing, hairbrushing, sickfic, etc), relationship negotiation, accidental marriage, soulbonds of all sorts.

AUs I love: soulbond, wingfic, and/or werewolves.

Feel free to mix, match, or combine things. I think the general idea of what I like comes across?

Fandom/pairing notes:

Iron Fist Danny/Ward, Danny & Ward, either hurt: I love one (1) stupid Ward Meachum, and his poor choices in life, basically. I also can't believe this dumb show got cancelled right before we could get Ward and Danny's Adventures Around the World (or at least in dirty bars), where they probably get beat up a lot (or maybe Ward just gets drunk) and have to take care of each other - whether in a platonic/smarmy fashion or in a 'shippy/things get handsy fashion.

Iron Fist Joy & Ward, either hurt: Ward and Joy being weird about each other is my jam, unfortunately, and I was pleased that S2 sort of kept with that. (Note: I 100% don't mind something that leans a bit into Joy/Ward if you want to go there with their weird relationship.)

Any of these tags for either sets of characters, or a mix of any of these ideas, is cool.

Venom: Eddie/Venom, either hurt [fic or art]. I'd like some sort of sickfick/caretaking while not feeling well. I picked the tags that were most appealing to me but feel free to branch out. Venom being confused at how Eddie could still get sick but trying to take care of him anyway is good, but I really love sad, whiny, unwell blob Venom that Eddie has to cuddle back to health, or take into the bathtub or shower to regulate their temperature (either their combined temperature, or some external bit of the symbiote).

For this particular fandom, "soup" could definitely mean a bowl of melted chocolate/chocolate syrup.

*

Cobra Kai: I love all Daniel/Johnny and Amanda/Daniel/Johnny configurations of who is hurt/who is doing the caretaking, but for the "hurt Amanda" option if there is actual injury I would rather she be hurt at something mundane like a gym class (sprained ankle, pulled muscle, that sort of thing) than hurt in some sort of fight (as Daniel and Johnny are much more likely to be), but you could also have Daniel get hurt at something dumb like stepping the wrong way at the dealership's softball game, or Johnny falls off a ladder/a roof/a barstool.

re: Daniel/Johnny, something set more in the TKK-era is fine by me, especially in that "reluctantly taking care of someone who's kinda your enemy" way.

Anything in the ballpark of the chosen tags is cool. If you're inspired to put a wild spin on things: Daniel's actually a mermaid! Johnny has wings!, that sort of goofy AU - I'm down with it.

*

Nancy Drew [fic or art]: I love Carson/Ryan! Umm... that's all? Anything in the ballpark is again cool. Gentle caretaking - especially Ryan trying to be a caretaker and being terrible at it, or thinking he's terrible at it but it's really perfectly fine and actually comforting - is my jam. Ryan feeling like he's a terrible caretaker to Nancy (while he feels like Carson's great), when she comes down with the flu or something like that? Or he tries to cook for either Carson or Nancy and it's either so terrible they can only laugh and order delivery, or it turns out edible and everyone's surprised. Alternately, Carson feeling like he hasn't been able to comfort Nancy when she's sick/hurt as well as her mom always could, and Ryan being like, "No, man, you're great. I would be terrible, but you've got this," kind of thing. Anything along those sorts of lines would be good!

*

The Long Walk [fic or art]: First, both Pete and Ray live. Then they take care of each other, through sickness, injury recovery, and/or nightmares. Whether they run away together to live, or they take down the Walk, or they're celebrated (like victors in the Hunger Games) yet sequestered - however you'd like to have them both live. 100% cool to have either or both of them suffering mentally due to the trauma of the Walk as long as there is also comforting happening.
