Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: Fic of no less than 1k words, probably closer to 5 or 8 thousand, judging my by track record.
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: Holmes/Watson romance or romantic friendship-- you know me, I'm happier with a romance but if a gen prompt comes my way I will do it justice.

Tropes I can/will write include: explicit sexual content (kink a-OK and welcome), casefic, hurt/comfort, fluff, domesticity, happy endings, humor, mutually requited pining, first time or established relationship, "Watson lied" AUs.

What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: heavy angst, non-canonical character death, non- or dub-con sexual situations.

What you would like to receive: fic or art, specifically H/W romance, bonus for smut, domesticity, crime-fighting, Watson being a badass, Holmes being unapologetically gay; for art, I'd be tickled pink if I got a cover or illustration of any one of my fics, but i would also adore a comic or single illustration of anything above in the YES column or from the prompts below.

What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: - exclusions as above, gen fic, H or W in love with anyone they didn't marry (H&W count as a married couple, don't look at me)

Any other information you would like to add: (giving) I'd love to write an established relationship story this time, I think, if anyone's asking for it particularly. Or new-relationship navigation. The more opportunities for sex, the better, let's be honest with ourselves.

(receiving) If my giver needs a prompt, here are some ideas: H&W are cooped up due to bad weather, and alternate between pissing each other off and making up; a case takes them a long way from home; SH/JW/MM crime-fighting/romance trio (I know this is a long shot, it's okay, I'll live); W takes it on himself to replace H's cocaine use with another kind of stimulation/anchor, and the answer is bondage; H&W snuggling and bedsharing for any reason, clothes-sharing, engaging in casual domesticity; JEALOUSY. Any of these ending in sex would be my greatest joy.

Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Sure.
