- Anything that involves kink, especially kink as a way to process trauma and other strong emotions (exceptions: no caregiver/little, daddy anything is an instant nope for me)
- Chronic conditions (mental or physical) focused on as a grind that wears people down until they can't go it alone anymore, hurt/comfort
- Politics, especially the sort of politics that show up in small, tight-knit organizations with all the jockeying for position and careful diplomacy that entails
- Action! Danger! Fighting!
- Worldbuilding, especially worldbuilding focused on cultural notes like fashion, food, and architecture
- Complex etiquette and rules for social interaction, D/s-adjacent interpersonal expectations, outlandish concepts taken seriously when it comes to how people would create rules to handle them (i.e., "murder is legal" in BJT-verse not meaning that you're free of social consequences for murdering someone, just that legal recourse is limited)
- Alternate universes! Canon divergences, setting swaps, role swaps…
- Mpreg, as magicky handwaving, a/b/o, or attempting to be medically accurate in the most horrifying way possible—all variations are good

Smut likes

Ships:
Aiden/Damien: Oh man, I love how much of the first game revolves around Aiden and Damien’s relationship. It starts with them already on the rocks and going their separate ways when the job goes wrong and it ends with Aiden killing Damien on top of the lighthouse, and there’s so much history there that I’d love to see dug into, especially if it comes with all the toxic and abusive notes that pepper their canon interactions. And I really love anything that kind of pushes at the fact that Damien gaslights and emotionally manipulates while Aiden falls back on violence as a first resort, because that dynamic can be really interesting to explore.

Pre-canon stuff absolutely—how they met, how they became a team, how they ended up at the place where they fell apart after all those years. Aiden without all the trauma of his niece’s death is probably a very different person; at the least, I’d expect him to have a lot fewer compunctions about doing crime for money, and he barely has any of those as is. With Damien there as the devil on his shoulder, I can only imagine the kinds of heists they got up to. I’m picturing lots of rough sex, Aiden topping but Damien in control, and lots of lies piling up around them as they settle into that spiral their relationship became.

During-canon fic, where Damien asks for other kinds of services from Aiden in return for his sister’s safety, is something I’m totally down for too. Maybe he manages to get Aiden to feel something for how they once were too, even if what that feeling ends up being is loathing—at least it means Aiden remembers him, because I get the feeling that Aiden walking away without ever looking back is the thing that chaps Damien’s ass the most.

I do love AU fic for them too though, either full setting change stuff (a pair of mage thieves where something goes wrong in their heist? Dragonriders who don’t get on very well with the rest of their cohort and don’t realize what a mess of a relationship they have?) or simpler, more mundane AUs (Aiden the beleaguered retail manager and Damien the dickbag owner of a rival store!)

Aiden/Jordi: Jordi is such an asshole, and Aiden is also such an asshole, so letting them be assholes together is always fun. I love how much Jordi snarks and pokes and jabs at Aiden, along with his usual rambling humor over the comms when he’s sniping, and I love that Aiden just… takes it all in stride. It’s funny, because Jordi’s the one person Aiden seems to let his guard down around because Jordi’s predictable in all his sociopathy. Which is probably why his betrayal didn’t shock Aiden as badly as it should’ve; there was big money on the table, and Jordi warned him there was big money on the table, so eventually he should’ve expected Jordi to come after him.

I love post-canon fic that dances around that betrayal, Jordi and Aiden working themselves back into each other’s good graces through jobs together until they just sort of fall into bed. I also really love pining on Aiden’s behalf, especially pining while actively fucking Jordi, because Jordi made it abundantly clear that he doesn’t do feelings or love or anything like that (and if there’s one character flaw Aiden definitely has, it’s feeling too much, too deeply, too intensely to handle sometimes.)

I’m also into AUs, any AUs, but especially AUs which deal with the supernatural. Jordi just feels like he could be something unknowable and inhuman, a vampire or a fae or an old god, and it’s really fun to consider how Aiden stumbling into that world could go. Jordi as a guide or Jordi as an opposing force and then there’s Aiden, who’s really good at ferreting his way into situations he absolutely should not be in and then toppling all the power structures on his way—there’s a great urban fantasy AU to be had there, is what I’m saying.

If M!Ryder features, I strongly prefer default Scott’s appearance and name. But if you want to feature his sister (either as the Pathfinder or just as an important character) I don’t care much what her name and appearance is! Go hogwild, F!Ryder is a freespace.

Ships:
Jaal/Evfra: God, I love Evfra. I love that he’s firm, that he’s not as openly emotive as most of the other angara, and that he’s this charismatic force that you can really see shaping the Resistance. And I especially love all of that in contrast to Jaal—who, despite coming off as smooth and confident sometimes, is more uncertain of his footing, still hasn’t found his place, and feels things so deeply and so openly all the time. You can tell that he admires Evfra, and Evfra himself tells you that Jaal is one of his best, and I love all the ways that mutual admiration can turn to mutual pining.

Pre-canon or during-canon fic that revolves around Evfra and Jaal in the Resistance, taking what seems like a hopeless endeavor and transforming it as the tables turn would be awesome. Getting together fic, especially with just heaps and heaps of mutual pining and slow burn is great, especially if there’s a heart-stopping moment or two where one thinks they’ve lost the other (the Pathfinder letting Akksul take a shot at Jaal, and Evfra’s reaction to that, come to mind.) Pouring some hurt/comfort into that and giving a chance for some tender woundcaring, maybe some confessions over bullet wounds?? I’ll eat it all up.

Or post-canon fic where the Resistance is taking on a different shape as the kett are slowly driven out of the galaxy. Destroying the Archon and most of his soldiers struck a blow, but they’re not completely gone yet; how does the Resistance re-orient with their enemy crippled? How do Evfra’s plans change, now that he’s no longer fighting an unwinnable war? What kind of shape would their relationship (either established as romantic/sexual or still platonic with heaps of UST) change when both of them realized that someday, maybe even someday in their lifetimes, they might look out over an angaran world without any kett presence at all? Jaal has had hope, I think, but it feels like Evfra abandoned hope for pragmatism and stubbornness a long time ago, so I’d love to have anything that explores Evfra getting that dream for the future back.

M!Ryder/Jaal/Evfra: I love all three of them, so much. And I love their individual dynamics enough that I want to see how those dynamics play out around each other; I go into the Jaal/Evfra and Jaal/Scott a bit above and below, but Evfra/Scott’s got some great moments, especially if you play the Pathfinder as doing his best to be courteous and not an asshole. He still gets some snark in, but you can see Evfra slowly and begrudgingly deciding that this specific alien may not be entirely terrible. And I love that, almost as much as I love how incredulous he is when he finds out the Pathfinder let Akksul take a shot at Jaal—he expected better of you, Scott! You were supposed to be the one good one!

So, post-canon fic is probably where it works best, but the direction of that post-canon is pretty variable. Scott and Jaal end up taking on a more active role in the Resistance, now that Meridian has been established, because they’ve got some of the most experience with beating the kett at their own game; Evfra becoming more of an ambassadorial figure towards the Nexus and the Initiative planets, especially as the other Pathfinders start working towards finding appropriate golden worlds, so he’s typically taking the Tempest to and from the places he needs to go; all of them getting dragged in seperate directions now that there’s not a single Big Bad to defeat and fighting to make sure they’re all on Aya at the same time so they can catch those stolen moments of intimacy.

But if heavy plotty stuff isn’t what you’re feeling, I’m going to be honest: I would eat 10k of PWP threesome smut up with a spoon. What better way to get over those cultural misconceptions and little misunderstandings than through a sex marathon, I ask you?

M!Ryder/Jaal: I had a couple false starts the first time I tried to play Andromeda, but that just meant that coming back to it later gave me the chance to romance Jaal and holy shit, what a good idea that was. I love the way he flirts with everyone but he gives his heart, without hesitation, to Scott when they fall in love. I also love just how dorky Scott in love is in return, and I love how earnestly both of them try to learn each other’s culture.

So, post-canon fic is always fun. I like mysteries and alien planets, especially when it comes to the Pathfinder team trying to figure out some kind of alien ruin, or Jaardan technology, or hunting up ancient angaran ruins while running across pre-Scourge hints of culture that had been lost. I love worldbuilding a ton, and the Pathfinder team is in a unique position to go zipping across the stars at a given moment, all other responsibilities be damned, just because there’s something sending up a beacon on the other side of the galaxy. (Also, alien horror is great. Some of my favorite Mass Effect missions have been the ones that lean in on the horror of being trapped in space with an unknown enemy, knowing there’s no escape but the vacuum. So playing with that is always enjoyable!)

Alternatively, some straight up whump. Jaal getting injured when they’re far away from an angaran settlement, so the medbay beds that Lexi repurposed for angaran physiology are being put to the test and Scott is worrying himself to pieces over it because he has not, historically, had a good time with loved ones being trapped in the medbay. Or Scott experiencing complications with his SAM implant (or complications from the THREE heart attacks he’s had so far, oh my god, Scott, stop dying) and Jaal being worried sick but not sure if he can show it, because angara are so close-lipped about sickness and careful when it comes to navigating the waters of social convention when illness is on the table. Or anything with angaran bioelectric fields and touch telepathy becoming a plotpoint that saves one, or both, of their lives.

Speaking of angaran biology, and the smutty, smutty purposes to which it could be applied: I’ve always loved the idea of Scott needing a place to fall to pieces, Jaal thoroughly enjoying the concept of sexual domination even if he hasn’t been able to put it into practice, and those two desires intersecting in very sexy way. Petplay, D/s, maybe just some bondage or sadomasochism—I like the idea of Jaal being able to sense some of the emotions of people, even aliens, that he touches, and I really like the idea of him kinking on that absolute submission.

Dorian Pavus/Cullen Rutherford: They play chess together! Dorian should be an example of everything Cullen can't trust in mages, but he just keeps being so damn dependable! Cullen really needs to address that underlying trauma that makes him so wary! Somehow Dorian has enough fire in him to keep Cullen warm at night, and Cullen is a solid brick of dependable when so much of Dorian's life is up in the air right now!

I kind of like the damaged people finding each other aspect even in AUs, so some ideas could be:
- Modern AU where Dorian and Cullen meet through a support group for addiction, between Cullen's [lyrium or analogue for it] and Dorian's alcoholism. Though I'd rather not have an unhappy ending, I don't object to one where the two of them are together for a while before realizing they need to stand on their own feet apart.
- Modern-with-magic AU where Cullen is in physical therapy for injuries sustained while a Templar and Dorian is the best damn physiotherapist at the clinic... and also uses magic to help ease a lot of the aches and pains that make it harder for him to do his job right.
- Dark fantasy AU where Dorian's something of the wicked witch to Cullen's supposedly shining knight—except that Cullen's been jaded by the excesses of his kingdom and Dorian isn't actually hurting anyone even if the necromancy makes his neighbors uncomfortable. Let Cullen retire to a magic tower somewhere!

But even in fully canon-verse fic, I really enjoy post-canon stuff that tries to build on some of the hints we get in canon. Whether the Inquisition is disbanded or not, whether Cullen ends up starting his Templar sanctuary or keeps on his role as Commander, either way Dorian has things to do in Tevinter and can’t stay behind. There’s a lot of room for intrigue and pining in that kind of separation, especially if it ends dramatically (or if Cullen ends up following Dorian to Tevinter anyways, hoping that one ex-templar might go unnoticed for a while…)

Baby/Buddy/Darling: I HAVE FALLEN DOWN A HOLE AND THAT HOLE IS ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS BRINGING IN A THIRD. Especially with Buddy and Darling so devoted to each other, but they still treated Baby with some of that condescending affection prior to the shit hitting the fan. So I’d love basically anything that wanted to take a canon divergence route and keep Darling alive, because I feel like there could’ve been something there if she’d lived (and Baby, by proxy, never got out from under Doc’s thumb.)

Plotty fic, exploring all the routes that canon-divergence could take, or straight PWP, either is fine with me. I love Baby as a sub to Darling and Buddy’s respective double doms, and there’s a whole host of things that can be done to him that I would love to read.

And! I feel like, given the tight timeframe and heist-movie aspects of the original movie, this is a pairing that would work really, really well with a 5 Times sort of fic format; anything that weaves multiple small stories together could be a lot of fun, even if there’s not a bigger arc behind it.

*I'd prefer ageplay aspects of it be kept to a minimum (no littlespace, no emphasis on Baby as a child, much more focus on Darling and Buddy as mommy and daddy respectively) but I do actually enjoy daddykink/mommykink with this threesome, so I'm waiving that particular DNW entirely for this fandom rather than asking you to thread that needle.

Cyberpunk Hacker/Cyborg Working for the Evil Megacorporation (M/M): Two sides of a conflict, where they're just barely keeping ahead of each other. The hacker keeps upgrading their rig to make sure they can use the cyborg's implants against them, while the cyborg beefs up their security and plans to narrow in on the kill faster next time, but they never quite commit to a permanent solution, not when their enemy is so much closer than their friends.

Or! A cyberpunk future where the two work together, especially if one is much more reluctant to work for the Evil Megacorporation than the other—it’s one part keeping each other in line, one part clinging to the only stable relationship they have in the pit of snakes that corporate culture inevitably is. And if that professional relationship ends up a lot more codependent and intimate than the managers anticipated, that just means they can be used against each other… up until they can’t.

Also sexy hacking of implants for kink reasons is hot in basically any situation, so if you want to throw yourself at 10k of that, please, feel free.

Unloved Prince Of A Conquered Country/Conquering Emperor Who Adores Him (M/M): Man, if there’s one thing I love, it’s an enemies-to-lovers scenario compounded by the fact that one of them technically isn’t there of his own will and the other unreservedly loves him anyways. To the point where that unrelenting tide of affection just totally erodes all the objections either side might have!

It can be as fantastical or grounded as you like, though I have a preference for fantasy and magic over most everything else. Especially if there’s some underlying logic to the magic—I love worldbuilding for cultures and settings, but I will not lie, my favorite kind of worldbuilding revolves around magic systems and the ways they influence those cultures/settings.

I think there’s a lot of reasons the Prince might be unloved, and all of them have potential. An issue of heritage, something he did as a child that sparked loathing in his family that extended to others, some rumors (true or not) that led to him becoming a pariah… Whether he’s requested by name or thrown into the relationship as a sacrificial lamb, I feel like there’s going to be a reason for him to resent the people he left behind. And maybe that makes him a little more fond of the Emperor?
