linguamortuaHello, writer(s)!
You can find me as linguamortua on the AO3 and lingua_mortua on Twitter.
General information:
Things I like in fic: I am an avid consumer of darkfic; I read and write dubcon, manipulation, age differences, moral grey areas and dilemmas, power plays, secrets, lies, and messed up power dynamics. Plot twists, trope inversion and clever metatextual references are also great fun for me. Generally I prefer my fic to be canon-compliant or canon-adjacent, although I have been surprised by innovative AUs before. I love femslash and woman-centric fic! Sex and PWPs are more than fine by me. Smut things I like: size differences, choking, dirty talk, cunnilingus, D/s elements (although rarely formal D/s play, especially when it's M/f).
Things I don't want to receive: pregnancy or mpreg, forced feminization, medical stuff sexual or not, public humiliation, fluff, seasonal fics, kidfic. I don't like anything which focuses on having or coping with a mental illness, but realistic references to canon mental illness is fine. I'm not wild about M/f. More specifically: please, no pet names, lifestyle BDSM, A/B/O, scat, watersports or incest.
Fandoms and pairings:
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Brock Rumlow/Jack Rollins
This should be a slam dunk for you because I do love a good old-fashioned hatefucking dynamic. My AO3 is only a click away if you need a sense of what I like for Hydra husbands. Short of gore, there's really nothing too gross for these boys to do to each other, with the obvious exceptions of my DNWs. I always adore an undercurrent of unrequited feelings especially when those feelings have to be kept secret for Bad Hydra Reasons. Canon - what we have of it - is important for me in this pairing. They really inhabit this straitjacket of military masculinity and what I like is when that gets disrupted by their feelings (antagonistic or romantic) for one another. Fighting as foreplay, dubious/un-negotiated fuckery, threats of further violence, wilfully degrading each other - it's all good.
Luke Cage
Shades Alvarez/Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes
Shades Alvarez/Darius 'Comanche' Jones
I do like a good sinister, lurking henchman. Shades particularly intrigues me because he's in a curious position relative to Stokes, with an element of power via a shadowy master. There have been some great fics bouncing off the end of season 2 with Shades and Mariah, and what all my favourite fics have in common is showing how Shades might be willing to temporarily subordinate himself to someone for an advantageous position later in the game.
The Punisher
Frank Castle/Billy Russo
There was never any hope for me with this wretched TV series. Frank and Billy have some really great dynamics that I would love to see you explore:
Fury
Norman "Machine" Ellison/Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis
Boyd "Bible" Swan/Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis
I have no excuse. If you're reading this letter to actually write either of these pairings: bless you, you are a hero of our times. I would like to see fic for these pairings that is reasonably canon-compliant, or at least situationally believable - please, no AUs. The great strength of the film was its grit and authenticity, and I enjoyed the interpersonal and group dynamics of the tank crew in that context too much to disrupt it.
Boyd and Grady have a really fascinating relationship, in that there's this deep, intimate brotherhood going on. Fic about them wouldn't have to be sexual, but they definitely have a unique bond that is clearly signposted by both the actors. Why did the deeply religious dude and the anarchic, badly-behaved loader end up arguably the closest of all the crew?
Grady and Norman is just, you know, this gross thing I have. I'm not sure what I want with it, but I do know that Norman would be an amazing target for a loose cannon like Grady. Hazing the new boy?
Ex Machina
Ava/Kyoko
Ava & Kyoko
I've embarked on a one-woman quest to write, or cause to be written, as much about Ava and Kyoko as I can. Especially Kyoko. I would be really interested in any headcanons you want to bring to the table and expand, to be honest with you! The less directly the story deals with Nathan and Caleb, the better. They got their two hours in the movie, you know? I do absolutely see these two as having a sexual or romantic element to their relationship, but I could just as easily enjoy a story about them living, scheming or recreating together.
The 100
Marcus Kane/John Murphy
Full disclosure: I never watched past the end of season two. This is one of the rare times when an AU might work for me! I recall watching this and being delighted by a) how ridiculous it was and b) the infinite smut potential of Jackbooted Space Thugs vs Feral Teens. Never did get around to writing fic, but I was recently inspired by a Kane/Murphy fic and decided to throw this out into the universe!
Tropes and ideas that would be fun for these two:

- What does Stokes want from Shades, and what price will Shades exact for it?
- Or, conversely, what might Shades have to do in order to get close to Stokes?
- Can Shades serve two masters without getting found out?
- I'd also be interested in a fic where Shades plays Mariah and Stokes off against one another.
The Punisher
Frank Castle/Billy Russo
There was never any hope for me with this wretched TV series. Frank and Billy have some really great dynamics that I would love to see you explore:
- Loyalty and betrayal
- Past history (exactly how much time do they spend dicking each other down in the Middle East? - please advise)
- Their relationship with Curtis
- What would have happened had Frank left the Marine Corp when Billy did? What if they were business partners?
- What would have happened if Frank had taken up Billy's offer of making him disappear?
- And all porn is good porn, let's be honest

Tropes and ideas that would be fun for these two:
- Inadvisable dating choices regarding age gaps and power
- Something where Kane is required to discipline Murphy (this would work well in-universe, I think)
- Murphy knows a secret about Kane and is willing to blackmail him
- A story where Kane is unsubtly attracted to Murphy, and Murphy knows he has all the power
