General likes:
• Character studies
• Unconventional formats and narrative styles (epistolary, unreliable narrator, Rashomon-style, in-universe documents etc)
• Hurt/comfort of all stripes
• Colours! Their use in canon, thoughts about colours in relation to characters and character dynamics, colour meta, all the colours!
• Exploring the fallout of canon trauma
• Missing scenes, slice-of-life, etc - exploring canon character dynamics/canon traits of known characters
• Touch starvation
• Deep friendships
• Earned trust and casual intimacy (carrying, clothes sharing, characters only allowing touch from people they trust, etc)
• Bonding over shared trauma
• PTSD, illness messing with a character's grip on reality, combat/mission injuries, scars, and injuries acting up, touch starvation, sensory deprivation / sensory overload, characters not believing they deserve comfort or being surprised to receive comfort
• Eventually requited pining
• Worldbuilding
• Outsider POV, especially when contrasted with our characters' POV
• Espionage porn for spy canons - details of undercover operations, suit kink, weaponry and tech, suspense, cover identities, h/c while undercover, undercover as lovers, noir overtones and feelings, all the Spy Tropes
• On similar lines, vigilante porn for The Shadow - details of undercover operations, suit kink, weaponry and tech, suspense, identity porn, delicious noir everything, all that jazz
• Mission aftermaths
• Fluffy meta
• Angsty meta
• Kinky/NSFW meta
• Pain, bittersweetness, sadness, exploring the darker side and implications of canon is great, but I really need some happiness/comfort and hope along with it!

Sexual likes:
D/s overtones. Femdom, where applicable. Service subs. Subs With Issues. Praise kink. Hands, fingers, touch; touch starvation. Finger-sucking. Aftercare. Tenderness, especially if the person receiving it isn't expecting it, isn't used to it, and it breaks them just a little.
Marking, intentional or no - bruising with lips or teeth; hiding the bruises under clothing. Suit kink. Wrists bound or held down. Honour bondage. Careful sex / making out when one partner is hurt or ill and feverish (fever sex is, uh, a Thing of mine). Or rough, desperate, life-affirming sex / making out.

General DNWs:
• Readerfic (I'm cool with second-person POV, just no readerfic please!)
• Mundane/depowered/setting change AUs
• Bleak, hopeless endings (as long as there's hope, bittersweet endings are more than fine!)
• Unrequested crossovers and fusions
• Ethan/Benji, Ethan/Ilsa, Ethan/Brandt
• Any mention of Mission Impossible 2 canon
• Death of requested characters (even if they died in canon. Alan Hunley Is Alive That's My Story And I'm Sticking To It)
• Non-canonical death of non-requested characters
• Terminal illness
• Any mention of coronavirus or medical quarantine/medical lockdown situations (trapped together, etc. is a-okay)
• Permanent injury (exceptions: Collateral, Oblivion, and Jack Ryan's canonical past injury in The Hunt for Red October)
• infected wounds
• Gastrointestinal illness (nausea/vomiting is okay but not as a focus of the work, and not as a result of GI illness - so character getting nauseous or throwing up from a migraine or just severe pain in general, yes; character getting nauseous or throwing up as a result of a severe anxiety attack or PTSD episode, yes; character suffering anything related to food poisoning or GI bugs or overeating and similar, no)
• Pregnancy, menstruation
• Hurt/comfort-verse
• Marijuana use or mention of it in any capacity (other intoxicants a-okay)
• Infidelity, including implied infidelity such as characters in a relationship getting 'sexually tempted' by someone outside the relationship. (For Red October, I'd prefer that Jack and Cathy were never married, and amiably co-parent Sally but are not together any more)
• Anyone calling Mav 'Pete' in a positive way (people calling him that as a veiled or direct insult is cool)
• Pulp or radio show canon for The Shadow
• Any engagement with Asian cultures in The Shadow universe, including any focus on the Shiwan Khan plotline (passing mentions of this plotline are okay, but no focus on it please)

Sexual DNWs:
• Noncon or dubcon, except for Vika/Jack or Charlie/Mav
• humiliation as a kink, except for Max/Vincent, Vika/Jack or Charlie/Mav
• pain play for Mission: Impossible and Red October
• gags of any kind (hand over mouth is okay for dubcon/noncon prompts, but I would like it to trigger the character on the receiving end and for there to be some emotional fallout of it)
• anal, dirty talk, spanking, ageplay, scat, watersports, rimming, emeto, A/B/O, d/s-verse, mommy/daddy kink, maledom/femsub dynamic

Art likes:

Realistic and sketchy styles, bold lines and rich colours/textures, bold accent colours, creative lighting choices, noir-style art especially for action canons, minimalist styles/silhouettes, characters captured in unaware moments as though they're being photographed without realizing it, art that captures the vibe of canon without necessarily capturing the style of canon; angsty hurt/comfort or warm, gentle, casually intimate moments.

I love kisses of all descriptions, especially at the forehead, temple, hands, throat, or collarbone. I love characters undressing each other, reverently for most pairings, roughly for some (see Collateral and Top Gun). I love seeing characters in partial states of undress rather than seeing them completely naked, especially if there's also a focus on their hands or collarbones or throat. I love seeing characters with love bites, hickeys or bruises; I love characters touching and tracing other characters' scars, especially if it looks like they got distracted while undressing them to do so. I love characters in shibari, especially under dress shirts, or characters' wrists being tied with something luxurious like velvet or ribbon.

I also love h/c focused art - characters undressing their injured/sick partners or taking off their glasses, if they wear them (eg. Hunley, Mancuso, Ethan in MI 1). Characters patching sick/hurt characters up, with stitches or bandages or ice packs, or cleaning scrapes on the hurt character's face or hands. Sick/hurt characters with their hair messed up, perhaps hiding their faces in other characters' chests or shoulders. Hurting characters sitting at other characters' feet to be taken care of with hair stroking or shoulder rubs, or burying their face in the other character's lap. Smaller characters getting carried bridal style when they're not feeling well, maybe clinging to the character carrying them if they're not unconscious. Hands in general, especially if they're scratched or hurt and being taken care of. :D (I'm vaguely not-okay with pink or green as a dominant/background colour, but I love...well, basically every other colour there is. Jewel tones are great! Limited palettes are great! Bold colours are great! Whatever you can think of is great! I love it all. :D Style-wise I would prefer no chibis or overly cartoonish styles; I'm very cool with anything and everything else, including experimental styles!)

Art DNWs:

• Pink or green as dominant colour (teal is a-okay!)
