My HP Fandom Likes and Dislikes

[llaeyro]

Here's my list of likes/dislikes, because quite a few people have challenged it lately. The no-no's are more complete than the OH YES PLEASE's, because I can't spend hours on this... If it's not in the dislikes, consider it a like! I will probably expand on the likes, but the bones are there.

It's all Harry Potter, and it's all slash, because that's what I do =) You could also check out this post about my head canon. I really enjoy reading outside of my head canon though, so don't worry about sticking to it too much.

Disclaimer: My favourite fics of all time all contain content from my 'Not so keen' lists. They're things I don't usually seek out, but when done right they can really work well, when combined with my other major kinks.


Pairings

Love

Remus/Sirius
Harry/Draco

My first two pairings, in that order, and they still have a very special place in my heart. Although I love to read/write them with other people, if they're a background pairing I'd rather they were together, in canon relationships or single.

I also love far too many rare pairs to name. Basically if it's not in my 'nah uh, no way' list then I'll go there :P My fav characters, in order, paired whatever way you like:

Sirius
Severus
Remus
Harry
Draco
Charlie
Albus Severus
Teddy
James Sirius
Neville
Ron
Bill
Scorpius

I'm also a fan of Fred/George and I started fandom on Remus/Sirius, followed by Harry/Draco and Harry/Snape.

Not so keen

Percy
Death Eaters we barely know
Kingsley

Nah uh, no way!

Peter
Hagrid
Dumbledore
Filch
Moody

I'm fine with them as characters, (maybe a slight exception with Peter...) but I really don't want to read them getting jiggy with anybody *shudder*.



Themes/Tropes

Love

Smut!/PWP
Angst
Flangst
Enemies to lovers
Morally grey Snape
Snape-ish cameos
Witty banter/snark
Character lives AU
Overcoming depression/anxiety/PTSD from canon events
Dominant in training/submissive in training

Not so keen

Muggle AU
Mpreg
Creature!fic
A/B/O
Bonding/Accidental bonding
Kid!fic
Fuck or die
Major character death
Gay-for-you

Nah uh, no way!

I don't think there's any trope I'd say never to.



Kinks and Squicks

Love

Dirty Talk
Hate!sex/Rough sex
Non-traditional sex location (i.e not on a bed)
D/s
Power play
Switching top/bottom
Bondage
Spanking
Daddy!kink (as long as they're not actually father/son)
Intercrural/intergluteal sex
Heat play
Rimming
Dub-con

I really could be here all day. If it's not in one of the below lists, consider it a kink! I particularly like reading aspects of sex that often get less attention than oral/anal, particularly if done for their own sake rather than as foreplay.

Not so keen

Watersports
Bonding
Knotting
Come play
Felching
Blood play
Non-con
Chan
Bestiality

Nah uh, no way!

Scat
Necrophilia
Emetophilia
Sounding
Father/son incest (unless the father's Lucius, because he's an arsehole anyway. Any other incest is fine.)
