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 some specific tags/characters that I like.
(I apologize for the delay, life happened).
General:
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; terrifying parents being gentle with their partner/kid; normally gentle parents flipping their shit when their kid is in danger; breeding kink; most kinks
General DNW:
Character bashing; mention of COVID; mention of cancer/major illness; horror; explicit gore; suicide; self-harm; substance abuse/addiction; cannibalism; hand trauma; vampire aus; werewolf aus; disordered eating; dysphoria; substance abuse/addiction
Fandom-Specific Notes:
Knock the Ice from My Bones
Honestly, I only expect you to look at this section of tags if you’ve read the OG fic or seen the aus that float around on the blog. I’d like to see something canon compliant with the characters, or from one of the aus from the blog, or even an au that’s pretty much canon but featuring a trans character. I tailored my tags to fit in with any of those and most of the tags are pretty self-explanatory. And feel free to throw in Maria/Sneeg if you want. I’ve also opted-in to kids up to the age of 5 so if you want to include Jackson or give him a younger sibling with him as the main character feel free!

KTIFMB DNW: unhappy endings, major character death, mentions of cc!Technoblade’s death, child death
SMP Earth
Techno/Phil; Techno & Phil: 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; royal/arranged marriage or war prize fic?

SMP Earth DNW:
SBI Family Dnyamic; mentions of cc!Technoblade’s death; bad dad Phil; streamer aus; child death; Tommy or Wilbur as Phil and Techno’s kids
Dream SMP
Emerald Duo
Techno/Phil; Techno & Phil: 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.

Dreamnoblade
Dream/Techno; Dream & Techno: they’re incredibly dangerous dorks in love; they both call each other out on their shit and trust each other because why wouldn’t you trust the one person who could kill you but won’t? Honestly the way loyal/loyalcrowlist writes the two of them is what I picture for their relationship whether it’s platonic or romantic
Specific Likes: I think canon or canon-adjacent aus for this one, especially since several tags fit so well with Dream (and Techno) in prison
