Letter for Stork Swap 2022

ekevkaHello! It's my first time participating in this exchange, and I'm really looking forward to it! The ideas (mostly questions, tbh) are below.
Also, all this account is for exchange letters, so browse at your pleasure.
Note: some of the freeforms mention 'fathers' - those mean impregnators regardless of gender, I just haven't nominated pairing specific freeforms because I haven't thought further than 'I like the concept'.
I'm not usually one for pointing out my tastes, because it feels like I'm railroading the author into a specific station, but with this exchange already being specific enough I'm going to try somewhat specifying things (actual freeform tags and DNW take priority, of course!):
I love mpreg - regardless of how its explained (or even not explained at all). Trans, magic, horror takes - anything goes (although in terms of horror I'd like every character to survive and tags to prepare me specifically). This said, I don't care much for either conception or birth - you can describe it, you can skip over, both are valid choices.
I don't really like the pregnant person to be helpless, but them being comforted is fairly cool.
Abortion/miscarriage/stillbirth are fine - again, just tag, those things happen.
In any case, tags are great (both so I can shake my gift better and so I would be prepared for whatever gem you'll create!)
General fanfic likes:
- hurt/comfort
- there was only one _insert object here_ plots
- characters expressing their feelings by actions instead of words
- calm before the storm moments (especially if there's a foreshadowing of important events or such)
- soulmate AUs (but not any kind that impedes one's vision before meeting a soulmate - like, see only the colour of their eyes/no colours other than black and white until you've met, that kind of thing)
- daemon AU
- bodyswap
- timetravel in all shapes and forms (inc. groundhog-day AUs)
- for original fiction: historical, steampunk or magical settings (historical being up to approx. 1920)
- mpreg (especially in f/m pairings)
General DNW:
- generic modern time
- any allusions to modern situation/politics (illnesses that span the globe, countries being torn apart, that kind of thing - mentions is fine, being the centre of the plot is DNW)
- hopeless endings (open endings are fine)
- non-canonical character death
- eye trauma described in any kind of detail
- mind-control
- character bashing (as in unreasonable hating without any reason spelled out - if you see a character able to bash another, warn for it and keep it as out of the author's speech as possible)
- non-con
19th Century CE RPF:
• Charlotte von Preußen/Varvara Nelidova/pregnant Nikolai I Pavlovich | Nicholas I (19CE RPF)
• Charlotte von Preußen/pregnant Nikolai I Pavlovich | Nicholas I of Russia (19CE RPF)
• Alexander von Benckendorff/pregnant Nikolai I Pavlovich | Nicholas I of Russia (19CE RPF)
• Alexander von Benckendorff/Charlotte von Preußen/pregnant Nikolai I Pavlovich (19CE RPF)
Freeforms:
• A/B/O - Alpha Somehow Pregnant
• A/B/O - Alphas playfully compete to get their Omega lover pregnant
• character is wary of being pregnant because of bad experiences in the past
• Character thought they were too old to get pregnant
• F/M Mpreg
• mpreg is known but stigmatized
• mpreg is known but SURELY it would not happen to character A! then it does
• Polyamory - Pregnant with Both Partners' Children
• sharing pregnancy symptoms with the people you're psychically bonded to
• Stoic character needs more help & comfort during pregnancy
• Threesome - don’t know which partner is the father
• A/B/O - Female Alpha/Pregnant Male Omega
Those are my historical OTP/OT3 - anything goes, honestly. Most of the freeforms are prompts in their own right, and given the format the rest is pretty obvious.
Fandom specific DNW: unconsensual infidelity - even a line about either no marriage or spouse being okay is better than the lack of it;
Crimean War described in any detail (you can even lead up or kill Nicholas I outright, just don't focus exclusively on this failure of national politics)
any theories that Nicholas I killed himself (depression and poor attention to his own health is one thing, actual suicide - no, please)
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types
• Bail Organa/Breha Organa/pregnant Wilhuff Tarkin (SWTCW)
• Bail Organa/Breha Organa/pregnant Obi-Wan Kenobi (SWTCW)
Freeforms:
• A/B/O - Alpha Somehow Pregnant
• Accidental Mpreg - Thought He Was Sterile But Oops Actually He's Mpregnable
• Accidental mpreg caused by impregnator's superpowers/biology/Force
• Character thought they were too old to get pregnant
• Finding Too Late That The Unknown Artifact You Touched Made You Gain A Womb And Become Impregnable
• Friends with benefits while pining further complicated by unplanned pregnancy
• mpreg is known but SURELY it would not happen to character A! then it does
• Star Wars - Sometimes The Force Just Impregnates People And This Is Normal
• Threesome - don’t know which partner is the father
Star Wars doesn’t really need an introduction or explanation – although for this exchange I'd opted just for Clone Wars subfandom. The pairings chosen are more or less a crack OT3, so do whatever you like!
Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic (Video Game)
• pregnant Malavai Quinn/Vette (SWTOR)
• Lt. Pierce & Malavai Quinn pregnant from Sith Warrior & Vette & Jaesa Willsaam (SWTOR)
• Lana Beniko/pregnant Malavai Quinn/Sith Warrior (SWTOR)
Freeforms:
• Communal Child Raising
• Continuing Dangerous Lifestyle Despite Pregnancy
• Finding Too Late That The Unknown Artifact You Touched Made You Gain A Womb And Become Impregnable
• Friends with benefits while pining further complicated by unplanned pregnancy
• mpreg is known but SURELY it would not happen to character A! then it does
• People Who Absolutely Should Not Raise A Child Are Now Responsible For One
• Pregnant with Multiple Babies
• sharing pregnancy symptoms with the people you're psychically bonded to
• Star Wars - Sometimes The Force Just Impregnates People And This Is Normal
• Threesome - don’t know which partner is the father
• A/B/O - Female Alpha/Pregnant Male Omega
SW:TOR is a fun game, and Sith Warrior crew are my current favourite. I usually go with light side choices for Sith Warrior, but anything would do.
Fandom DNW: fic with pregnant Malavai in jail (as in set during the 5 years in carbonite part of the storyline)
Original Work:
• Pregnant Emperor/Empress/Their Head Mistress (OW)
• Alpha Emperor/His Pregnant Omega Brother/His Brother's Alpha Wife (OW)
Freeforms:
• Hiding Pregnancy So Love Interest Will Continue Having Sex to Breed Heir
• Impregnator Has Incest Kink
• Messy but ultimately positive feelings about incestuous pregnancy
• Polyamory - Pregnant with Both Partners' Children
• Polyamory - A/B pregnancy frees them to (re-)add third partner without fear of paternity mixups
• Pregnant character impregnating their partner
• Threesome - don’t know which partner is the father
As with the rest, the freeforms are prompts enough, although I'd prefer a fantasy or steampunk setting.
