Entry tags:
Dear H/C Ex Creator
Thank you so much for writing for me, dear h/c-ex creator! This is mainly just a copy of the tags from my AO3 request, with some additional likes at the top in case it's helpful. I am looking forward very much to seeing what you create for me!
All requests are for fanfic.
General Likes: Hurt/comfort (obviously!), friendship and family, enemies to friends or lovers, awkward bonding, casefic and adventures, quiet downtime between missions or after trauma, forced to share a bed/hotel room/tent/etc, protectiveness, loyalty, morally ambiguous situations and difficult decisions, ambiguous relationships that are hard to pin down as one thing or another, duty conflicting with personal feelings, learning to trust others, small acts of kindness, angst, fluff.
General Hurt/Comfort Likes: Head injuries, nonconsensual drugging, cuddling for comfort or warmth, presumed dead, flogging/whipping, hospital stays, shot/stabbed and bleeding out, stranded or locked up with a hurt person, hiding injuries until collapsing, aftermath for canon injuries, psychological trauma, nightmares, emotional healing, dealing with a disability or chronic pain, seasickness or similar physical illness, quietly providing comfort (food, sympathy, etc) for someone who has had a bad day or is mildly hurt/sick, aftermath for canonical hurt or AUs in which it's worse than canon. These are merely some of my favorites, however; I would be very happy if you want to include some form of h/c not listed above, and the tags should hopefully provide plenty of inspiration as well.
Do Not Want: Please see individual fandom sections for my specific do-not-wants. Common to all requests: DNW permanent deaths of requested characters. (Presumed dead and references to canon deaths are fine, however.)

Brother Constant & Pater & Sef Sermak (hurt Sef Sermak)
Brother Constant & Pater & Sef Sermak (hurt Constant)
Brother Constant & Pater & Sef Sermak (all hurt)
Aftermath & Comfort For Canon Hurt • Aftermath of losing everything • aftermath of near death experience • Character feels useless/like a burden due to their illness/injury • Character is prickly and bad-tempered while recovering from hurt; comforter is chill about it • Forced To Relive Trauma for Mission Report/Debrief • Graphic depictions of hugging during recovery from injury/illness/almost dying • Nearly losing someone reveals deeper feelings • Slow recovery from life changing injury
DNW: Long timeskips that significantly age the characters; actual deaths of the requested characters.
I just want aftermath for the finale involving Constant and her dads. (I love the rest of the cast, so Glawen or other Terminus characters are welcome to appear, Bel or Hober can survive for handwavy reasons, etc.) I would be very happy with recovery fic for Sef's canonical injury, anything to do with any/all of them dealing with the loss of their entire planet, Constant having to cope with all of her personal trauma, rebuilding on their new planet, etc.
Watching season two, I fell extremely hard for both Sef Sermak and Constant - I don't know Pater as well, but clearly they both love him! - and I just really want fic about them, fulfilling the dangling h/c promise of Sef's canonical injury, dealing with the loss of their planet and rebuilding on a new world, etc. (I very much think of "hurt" as referring to emotional hurt as well.)
Brother Constant & Glawen Curr (hurt Glawen)
Aftermath of losing everything • aftermath of war • Bringing sad and lonely character home for dinner and companionship • Character loses everything and can only turn to enemy for help • Seeing enemy/antagonist hurting prompts unexpected feelings
DNW: Long timeskips that significantly age the characters; actual deaths of the requested characters. In this particular request, I'm fine with fixits for Bel, or for both Bel and Hober, but not for just Hober but not Bel.
Glawen needs to be adopted by Constant and her family; that is all. I'd love anything with Glawen dealing with his current situation and grief, Constant reaching out to him, Glawen settling into his new life and helping the Terminus survivors rebuild on their new planet, etc. What is it like for him to be an enemy fighter pilot among the people he was fighting, grieving for his lost husband? That's got to be hard, and I'd like to see him making some friends and particularly bonding with Constant, who also met (and was helped by) Bel.
I'd also be happy with tropey fic in which (for example) he helps out with some disaster situation on their new world, saves her from a flood or something - there's no "Glawen & hurt Constant" tag but I'm very happy if Constant is also hurt and/or needs to be helped, or if they bond over their shared trauma and grief. ("Hurt" referring to emotional hurt is perfectly fine and in fact was what I had in mind with the tag, but physical hurt is also good!)
Fixits for Bel's death are welcome if you want to write that, but definitely not required; for this canon the melancholy grief/loss aspect is also very appealing to me. But I'm also pleased with happy endings!

accepting injury to protect someone • Assassination Attempt(s) • Character A gets injured or attacked while on the phone with Character B • Character A gives away Feelings by being Overly Tender with hurt Character B • Character A jumped in front of a bullet to save B; B waits A's wake up never leaving their bedside • Character feels so bad they have to sit down on the floor/ground • Character forced to complete mission despite illness/injury • Character gets sick/hurt and expects to be left behind now that they're a burden/no longer useful • Character hiding chronic pain gets caught showing signs of pain • Character hurt by bad reputation gets vindicated/correctly understood by people they care about • character is having trouble sleeping after being in prison • Character Mistakenly Believes They Killed Their Foe; Real Feelings Realization Ensues • Character's headache is bad enough to be evident to other characters • Comforting character while/after they vomit • Concealing illness/injury at a formal event • Enemies to Lovers - Injured A shows Up on B's doorstep Saying "I didn't know where else to go" • Forced To Relive Trauma for Mission Report/Debrief • Seeing enemy/antagonist hurting prompts unexpected feelings • Waking in Medical Care Naked and Defenseless to Find Greatest Enemy at Bedside • Wingfic - Character using their injured wings to shelter/comfort other characters
DNW: Permanent character death, terminal illness that is not cured by fic's end, plot focus on EvS in WW2, any mention whatsoever of the Holocaust.
The "angst and plot and comfort" requests! (Feel free to mix in ones from the "all comfort all the time" section or vice versa.) Some of these would work better before Buries a Hatchet, others probably afterwards; feel free to set it at any point in the timeline that makes sense, or go AU if you like. Minor canon-divergent AUs such as "character X has wings" or "Erich defects at a different point in canon" are completely fine.
With the Biggles/EvS pairing, I'm fine with anything from totally gen to sex-catching-feelings to romantic HEA, first times or established relationship, and general to explicit. I do prefer if there are some softer, warmer feelings even if they're still enemies (though Algy and the others still holding EvS at arm's length is fine).

"Who did this to you?" • accepting injury to protect someone • Assassination Attempt(s) • Captured and tortured together & doing their best to help each other through it • Character A ignores injury/pain/illness until they can't anymore and is comforted • character expecting harm is comforted instead • Collapsing from exhaustion • Collapsing on character's doorstep • Comforting character while/after they vomit • Enemies to Friends • Grief/Mourning For What Ends Up Being A Temporary Character Death • Hurt will kill character in specific amount of time if not stopped • Hurt/sick while undercover • Increasingly risk-taking behaviour to avoid coping with trauma • Injured hero shows up at villain's doorstep • Old Abuser Tries to Resume Abuse; Doesn't Realize Victim Now Has People on Their Side • Protectiveness - Character A guards character B while B is ill • Reconciliation while Trapped and Injured • Stalking someone to protect them • taking care of wounds while on the run/hiding
DNW: Permanent character death, terminal illness that is not cured by fic's end, plot focus on EvS in WW2, any mention whatsoever of the Holocaust.
Angst and plot and comfort, Algy & Erich (and occasionally Biggles) edition! (Biggles/EvS as a background pairing is fine if you like to include it, also perfectly fine if not.) Also feel free to include other characters from the team, Fritz, etc.
I am a complete sucker for Algy and Erich having to reluctantly work together - with Biggles or on their own - or being surprised by their own reaction to seeing the other one hurt, tortured, or in danger. Sudden surprise protectiveness and anger for the win, either before or after Hatchet. Or Algy seeing EvS worrying over a hurt or presumed dead Biggles, or all three of them stuck in some desperate situation together - just give me reluctant allyship (doesn't have to be actual friendship) and/or Biggles having to navigate his friendship with Algy along with his whatever-ship with EvS.

DNW: Permanent character death, terminal illness that is not cured by fic's end, plot focus on EvS in WW2, any mention whatsoever of the Holocaust.
The "all fluff all the time" requests! (Other characters welcome to appear, btw.) Angst and whump is fine - feel free to mix 'n' match with prompts from the angstier sections, or introduce other forms of hurt; I am fine with torture and noncon in backstory. But you can also simply go for "everything is soft and nothing hurts." <3
I'm fine with anything along the gen to romance continuum, first times or established relationship, and general to explicit. Can be set earlier or later in canon as long as it works with the prompt.
