juliana677
It's so nice to meet you! I'm Jewels (she/her), juliana677 on AO3 and tumblr. Thank you so much for taking on this gift! I'm super excited to see where you go with it. You're welcome to take what you like from this letter; I mostly used it to organize my thoughts and provide some detail for specific tags/characters that I like.
General:
For most of the relationships I requested I included have the tags for either or both of the characters hurt, feel free to choose which one speaks to you! You're also welcome to switch around which character I envision being hurt for certain tags if you have an idea.
I requested both the "/" and "&" tags for my Philza and Technoblade relationships- feel free to make them platonic, romantic, friends with benefits, in a qpr, etc. I'm comfortable receiving any versions of their relationship so feel free to go with what you like.
My DNW list is also not a judgement of you. It's a list of my own squicks and preferences.
General Likes:
Alternate universes (scifi, medieval, royalty, etc) ; worldbuilding; loyalty; politics; cultural differences; competent/badass characters; happy endings
General DNW:
Character bashing; mention of COVID; mention of cancer/major illness; omegaverse; horror; explicit gore; abortion/miscarriage; suicide; self-harm; substance abuse/addiction; cannibalism; hand trauma; vampire aus; werewolf aus; disordered eating; dysphoria; substance abuse/addicition
Fandom-Specific Notes:
Dream SMP
Emerald Duo
Techno/Phil (hurt Techno, hurt Phil, hurt both); Techno & Phil (hurt Techno, hurt Phil, hurt both): the closest of friends, or something more if you want to go that route. They trust each other and the other’s capabilities without question. Phil is Techno’s hidden sword and Techno is Phil’s partner. Their relationship goes back centuries, they know each other front and back and side to side and yet can still occasionally be surprised by something the other does.
Techno: tired and ready to retire but the world won’t let him rest. Overprepared for any outcome because in his mind everyone else will be just as prepared as he would be normally, so he needs to go the extra step. Kind to animals and his friends. He has emotional intelligence but talking about it would kill him so he simply doesn’t.
Phil: feral and sad. He killed his son and regrets it every day even after Wilbur comes back. He lives for chaos and is prepared to go feral at any time. Supports Techno unconditionally. Is overprepared for everything because he knows how to survive, and that includes knowing how to raid Techno’s base without Techno getting too mad about it. He always has a project.
Specific Likes: AUs would be cool, but I also enjoy fics that play within the bounds of canon. Missing scenes or moments between characters, or backstory for characters that came onto the SMP knowing each other.
Tags:
Aftermath of killing a loved one – we all know Phil is messed up after killing Wilbur, even if he doesn’t say it outright. Techno knows him better than any of the people in L’Mnaburg though and notices even when they don’t.
Loyalty - Being Seen As Nothing More Than Someone Else's Weapon – Techno as the Blade, being used as a weapon by people he considers friends
Wingfic - chronic wing pain – Phil’s wing injuries from the 16th flare up and cause him problems
Wingfic - Wing injuries – Phil and his injuries from the 16th
Grief/Mourning – Phil mourning for his son and Techno mourning for the friend/nephew/family member he knew and trusted before the 16th
Near Death Experiences – Phil only has one life (if you want to go that route) and Techno doesn’t always nail things on the first try. Close calls over the centuries they’ve known each other are a given.
Soulmate AU- being near will heal injuries – imagine the Butcher Army execution attempt in an au like this, where Phil is stuck in his house and Techno is in a cage. They can’t heal each other (or in this case heal Techno) until one of them is free.
Normally intimidating A is gentle when taking care of hurt B – Techno is Soft when he takes care of Phil.
Past Shared Trauma – They’ve had centuries to go through shit together,
Aftermath of Fighting Rings
Aftermath of Betrayal – multiple ways to go with this one, could be aftermath of Tommy’s perceived betrayal, or maybe an AU where Phil or someone else betrayed Techno.
Brainwashing - Character A brainwashed into attacking B – Redza!!!! Redza joining the eggpire (maybe they promised him Wilbur?) and attacking Techno!!!
Bodyswap - Swapped Character Tries To Get Used To Not Having Their Usual Powers/Abilities/Senses – Phil dealing with Chat and Techno dealing with wings
Burning a brand on the character's skin
Captured and tortured together & doing their best to help each other through it
Captivity - Gilded Cage – Phil’s origins maybe, or Phil getting caught at some point and they try to ‘tame’ him
Recovery from injury - A helps B with physical therapy/rehabilitation – Techno helping Phil with his wings after they’re damaged in the explosions. Phil helping Techno with neck things after an anvil gets dropped on his head.
Person Used to Being Treated Like a Weapon Gets Rescued & Treated Like a Person Again – Techno backstory as the Blade.
Royal Marriage - Marrying your enemy to protect your people – I just think it’s a fun au. Lots of potential for cultural differences and enemies to friends and politics.
Soulmark AU - Culturally Inappropriate Soulmate – might tie in with the above, Phil and Techno being hybrids from the End and the Nether not mixing well
Puffychu
Puffy/Niki (hurt Niki, hurt Puffy, hurt both): they both try so hard. They were happy together before Doomsday and then they drifted apart. They’re both hurt and changed since that day and the potential for healing what was between them is still there. Maybe they need a second chance.
Puffy: Easygoing and badass. She likes a joke and can be just as awkward as Techno at times. Her spine of steel is more evident than Niki’s. She’s also angry, especially about what was done to Foolish at the banquet, and yet regrets killing a friend to take revenge.
Niki: hurt and angry and loyal to her bones. She’s got a spine of steel that doesn’t come out often until she burns down L’Mantree and later joins the Syndicate. She loves her friends and will stand for what she believes is right. Badass and pathetic wet cat combined.
Specific Likes: aus (maybe superhero au?), both of them getting their second chance with each other,
Tags:
Brainwashing - Character A brainwashed into attacking B – eggpire puffy attacking Niki
Emotional Hurt/Comfort – Niki finding Puffy after the Banquet and comforting her
Grief/Mourning – Puffy mourning Foolish and her own actions and Niki mourning Wilbur
Gentle acts of caretaking – taking care of each other
Injured hero shows up at villain's doorstep – superhero au maybe?
Mind Control - "I Know You're Still In There Somewhere" Fight – One of them trying to break through the other’s possession by the Egg
Mind Control Aftermath & Recovery – aftermath of eggpire Puffy or Niki
Missions Gone Wrong – Syndicate mission gone wrong, superhero au mission gone wrong
Mutual Protectiveness – they’re both badass and deserve to show it in defense of each other
Nightmares
Character overuses powers/magic/etc to protect a loved one – superhero au
Dream SMP DNW:
Tommy and Techno as Phil’s sons; dark SBI or fics with dark characters in that style; mentions of cc!Technoblade’s death; streamer aus; bad dad Phil
SMP Earth
Techno/Phil (hurt Techno, hurt Phil, hurt both); Techno & Phil (hurt Techno, hurt Phil, hurt both): They’re coworkers, they’re friends, they’re partners in crime! Co-leaders of the AE and they do a damn good job. Learning to trust each other and building a working relationship that very quickly becomes a friendship that will define the world. Everyone is afraid of them but they’re just two dudes having a good time, vibing together, learning to trust each other to an insane degree.
Techno: Outwardly more chill than Phil. He seems reasonable. Is actually a ball of anxiety wrapped up in a fur-lined uniform. The strategist and the deal-maker.
Phil: Any sadness he had in the DSMP about Wilbur’s death is just feral here. Feral and cunning and ruthless. Techno makes the deals but Phil is the one standing behind him with a knife in his hand and bloodshed in his eyes.
Specific Likes: Royalty or Space AUs would be great here; maybe early days of the empire vs the empire at it’s height; Phil and Techno learning about each other and getting closer and closer
Tags:
Arranged Marriage as a Means of Keeping Enemy Under Control – one of them married to other to keep them placated/have a spy/hostage/etc
Characters in Arranged Marriage Expect Hurt But Receive Kindness Instead – could be related to the above, could be one of them hearing about the brutal/ruthless leader of the empire
Badass in Distress – they conquered the world and then had the world angry at them, many opportunities for badass(es) in distress
Captured and tortured together & doing their best to help each other through it – some people are not happy about the whole ‘taking over the world’ thing
Caring for character's injured wings – could be from the cold, could be an injury from battle, whatever you like!
Character A is forced to observe Character B suffer – maybe while they’re being punished for conquering the world by the kangaroo court that was set up afterwards
Royal Marriage - Marrying your enemy to protect your people – similar to above
Character taken prisoner; expects torture/humiliation; gets kind & honorable treatment – maybe one of the ways Phil and Techno start working together?
Wingfic - Wing injuries
Concealing illness/injury at a formal event – there’s gotta be fancy parties otherwise what’s the point
Character Gets Hypothermia and has to be Cuddled back to Health – they in the Antarctic, it’s cold
Character harmed in public to set an example – other ideas for punishing them for taking over the world
Character is Exhausted From Overwork – they’re both workaholics of course it becomes a problem
Aftermath of Solitary Confinement – could be a long voyage in captivity to get to the court depending on how you do it, or more consequences of taking over the world
Unexpected rescue followed by tenderly patching up wounds
SMP Earth DNW:
SBI Family Dnyamic; mentions of cc!Technoblade’s death; bad dad Phil; streamer aus
Origins SMP
Techno & Phil (hurt Techno, hurt Phil): they know each other from the past and trust each other. Maybe Techno isn’t one of Phil’s minions but Techno has surely been informed of some of Phil’s evil schemes.
Techno: Obsessed with carrots. Claims he’s a frog. Long history with Phil. Mostly just wants to vibe and grow/eat/steal carrots.
Phil: He’s a cartoon villain and he loves it. The Villain on a server surrounded by villain wannabes. Just a Dude when he’s with Techno though.
Specific Likes: superhero aus, slice of life, how Phil and Techno met each other (two hyrbids or a hybrid and a human on the run from the law and possibly also slavers), human Techno and hybrid Phil aus.
Most of the tags are for either a superhero au or ideas for how Phil and Techno met.
Tags:
Aftermath of Slavery
Wingfic - bandaging damaged wings
Captivity - Gilded Cage
Character A finds out Character B has been captured by people who had hurt/tortured them before
Both Captured - Forced to Work Together to Escape
Held Captive in Cage
Mutual Protection
On the run together and become very protective of one another
Bargaining - Victim Offers/Sacrifices Self to Protect Others
touch-starved but clueless
Aftermath of Fighting Rings
Aftermath - Character A only feels safe when B is around
character A is a hero who gets grievously injured and character B is their rival who comforts them
Injured hero shows up at villain's doorstep
Character A falls asleep on B's shoulder; B gently moves A to rest on lap instead
Origins SMP DNW:
SBI family dynamic; dark SBI or fics with dark characters in that style; mentions of cc!Technoblade’s death; bad dad Phil
