Andor (TV)
Character: Kleya Marki (Andor), Relationship: Cinta Kaz/Vel Sartha (Andor), Fanfiction

General likes and specific prompts/ideas for each fandom are in my letter!


Space Likes/Prompts:
-Stories where characters are stranded in a spaceship with a disabled engine, failing life support, failing artificial gravity, etc. I love both high-stakes versions where the characters are struggling to survive/fix their ship before it’s too late and lower-stakes versions where the characters know they’ll be rescued and are just stuck together for a while.
-Details about daily life on a spaceship or space station including practical details about how things work and details about the culture that’s developed.
-Fantastical space stuff – giant creatures that live in empty space, weird gas clouds that have inexplicable effects on peoples’ minds when ships pass through, spatial anomalies and distortions of any kind, etc.


Do Not Wants (DNWs):
-Smut/explicit sex (fade-to-black scenes, sex being a centrally important part of relationships, and sex being discussed openly are all very welcome as long as the sex itself isn’t explicitly described)
-Rape/non-con
-Pregnancy/childbirth (mentioning canon pregnancy is fine)
-Non-canon permanent major character death
-Cheating/infidelity (I’d prefer conflicting canon pairings to have broken up or to have never been together unless otherwise stated)
-Unrequested non-canon ships involving major canon characters (romantic relationships involving minor or original characters are fine)
-Setting-change AUs such as modern AUs, or AUs that fundamentally impact relationship dynamics such as soulmate or omegaverse AUs (any type of canon divergence AU is completely fine, as are additions of sci-fi/fantasy elements like time travel to canons that don’t already have them)
-Entirely bleak/hopeless endings (as long as there’s a little hope left it’s fine)


Fandom-Specific DNWs:
-Stories taking place after Return of the Jedi/the fall of the empire
-Cinta’s death in fic that’s focused on her (please either set stories before her death or write an AU where she lives, her death being briefly mentioned in a story not focused on her is fine)
-Pure fluff (joy and tenderness are welcome as long as there’s at least a little acknowledgement of the characters’ trauma and the darkness of the empire)
