Hello! Thank you for visiting my page. I'm cinereous on ao3. I'm very excited to see what you create!
Below are things I like a great deal, but please don't feel like these are necessary guidelines to what you write. I would enjoy most anything. I'm an avid reader, and I like to go outside my comfort zone often when a story captures my interest! I'm not partial to any particular genres or styles, though I would request no first-person or tragedy if at all possible. While my requests tend to be m/m I'm not against f/f and m/f and background romances. I'm a big fan of stories that feel lived in so mentions of other characters are great.
Likes: magic, worldbuilding and lore, canon-divergent AUs, domesticity, adventure/casefic, humor, affection, mutual pining, future fic, creature AU's, hurt/comfort, alternative character interpretation, pampering, romantic fluff, clothing and location porn, and competence porn.
Smutty likes: talking or humor during sex, exhibitionism, magically enhanced sex, begging, biting, blindfolds and/or restraints, service tops, hand/glove kink, rough sex, rimming, costume play, adrenaline fueled sex, fun locations, and all configurations of sex (anal, oral, manual, intercrual, frottage)
DNWs: a/b/o, non-con, scat/watersports, character death, unrequested gender or sexuality headcanons, ageplay, petplay, gore or body horror, unrequited love, and first person POV.

Crossovers
Akira Kurusu (Persona 5 Protagonist)/Kazuya Minegishi (Devil Survivor Protagonist)
I was introduced to this pairing and fell in love with it immediately. Akira is a character that I adore for being so colorful for a silent protagonist. I feel like he is effortlessly charming and his daredevil qualities pair well with Kazuya who had to go through some extremely daring things in his own storyline. They both shoulder extreme burdens affecting humanity, but do so with unshakeable confidence and humor. I would love to see them in any capacity whether that be fluff or angst or humor or smut.
Prompts:
I think Akira and Abel have good natural chemistry, and I would love to see them get up to shenanigans, whether that be breaking and entering, supernatural exploration of Hel, or exhibitionist sex. Anything that would suit their adrenaline junkie ways. They both deserve some fun. I'd consider it a bonus if Kazuya is King of Bel and has the ability to use his magic for romance or sex. They're both very extra people and fun, grand displays of magic are highly enjoyable for me. Bonus points for lots of magic. I love King of Bel Kazuya and his infinite possibilities. Especially the sexy ones.
Persona 5
Persona 5 is the latest game I've played, and I loved it immediately. Akira is an incredibly colorful silent protagonist, and I love his cheeky mannerisms and boyish hand gestures. I also loved the adventure that the whole Phantom Thief angle brought to the table for the Persona series. Slinking along roofs, picking locks, and hacking systems all make everything far more fun. To say nothing of the aesthetic. I think the whole game and cast were very stylish.
Akira Kurusu/Joker
While I'm definitely in the camp that believes that Akira and Joker are the same person, I love the idea behind Joker being a separate entity that fanfiction presented. I like that layer of magic and fantasy a good deal, and the idea of having a mischeivous and overly confident doppelganger that wears your face and body in a completely different way is sexy as hell. Especially so for someone as overworked and self-sacrificing as Akira who really needs someone to push him into fun/relaxation/self-indulgence.
Prompts:
Joker appearing in 'reality' in any way to entice and drag Akira into depravity would be perfect, especially if there are shenanigans involved. Joker is Akira's wild side after all and would likely be prone to risky situations like breaking and entering, sex in shadow infested Mementos, etc. I would adore sexy knife play, sex with Joker's clothes still on, or something out of the ordinary and fun like sex on the roof of Madarame's museum or in the tiny bathroom of Leblanc while customers are outside. I enjoy some good exhibitionism where Akira/Joker is concerned.
Dragon Age
My favorite thing about Dragon Age is the details. If you are the sort of person who enjoys in depth descriptions of locations, clothes, meals, etc then I am so excited. My favorite fanfictions are the sort that really give a slice of life on top of the main plot and relationship. I love to hear about the food they eat, the smells and sounds around them, the irritating bullshit that you have to deal with living in a mostly medieval setting, etc. And if that's not your thing then that's totally okay too. I am just as happy and eager to receive a coffee shop AU or a blow by blow action sequence against bandits. I love all aspects of the game and characters.
Carver Hawke/Cullen Rutherford
Over time fanfiction has made me really appreciate Carver and his capacity to be a front and center character and one with a compelling and flaw ridden story of growth to tell. I think in a romantic relationship he would shine versus the more toxic familial bonds he showcases in the game. I am also incredibly invested in Cullen in Inquistion. His paternal tones and expressions did things to me, and I think for someone as young and eager to please and prove himself as Carver it would do things to him too. I enjoy the bonding that would take place through their shared military background and obvious love of their homeland. They are both characters with good hearts who don't always choose the right path, and I live for that potential in them both.
Fenris/Male Hawke
Dragon Age II and Fenris spawned a huge love of Dragon Age as a whole. It was the first in the series I played, and I fell in love with their romance the moment Fenris walked into that alienage courtyard. I love complicated characters, and I've always liked that Dragon Age was happy to give you plenty of interesting and multi-faceted characters to choose from. I still feel like Fenris is one of the most complicated of all, and I like his equally complicated and fraught relationship with Hawke (most especially male, mage Hawke). I am a huge fan of how Fenris is exceptionally strong, likely much stronger than his buff boyfriend in fact. I also enjoy that once he is comfortable he is able to banter with Hawke and his friends easily enough. It shows he is not a broken person, and he is also one that could be very conversational and friendly if given the proper chance and topics. I tend to enjoy Male Hawke on the more green/blue and purple side. A good heart for good reasons and a joke on his lips, but with a sword ready at his back.
Prompts:
Carver/Cullen
I would love to see Carver and Cullen in a romantic relationship while also in a work relationship. I don't mind if this is during the timeline of Dragon Age II where they were dealing with Meredith or if it were an AU set during the Inquisition timeline where Carver was present. If their relationship was already established, but still new enough to be unsure would suit their dynamic very well. I enjoy realistic portrayals so seeing them both exhausted from a hard day of work, sore from wearing armor, chapped lips, lyrium cravings, etc is wonderful. I would love to see them sharing meals, waxing poetically about the countryside and mabari, and possibly even Cullen helping Carver shave. Sex would be super great, but not required. I enjoy the idea of them both being bisexual with plenty of interest in both sides of the fence, but in a committed relationship with one another that they are having to keep secret.
Fenris/Male Hawke
The mentions of Fenris from Hawke in Inquisition pleased me greatly as much as saddened me that the two were obviously spread across the country trying to achieve their own goals. I think that speaks to their independence and passion, and I appreciate that. However, I would like to see them reunite sometime during the Inquisition story line. The idea of sharing one of the rooms full of crates and miscellaneous junk that is freezing would add an unhappily realistic quality to their reunion and sharing a too small bed would be nice as well. I'm a big fan of the details in Inquisition and imagining their more day to day life; food, accommodations, smells/sounds, lore, etc. so if you like that as well please feel free to go crazy seeing as this prompt is far more slice of life than an actual plot. Same as the other, sex would be super great, but not required.
Bully
I discovered Bully in college and played it constantly for a good portion of my time. I loved that there were so many characters and each one had their own personality and were able to be interacted with as individuals instead of just flat NPCs. I also loved so many of the locations and the music. It was a very immersive game for me. I spent a good portion of my time simply roaming around looking for hidden nooks and rubber bands, and I enjoy the idea of the characters doing similarly in their own ways.
Gord Vendome/Jimmy Hopkins
Gord was a character I fell in love with during his first cut scene with Jimmy. His awkward, sarcastic little "okay" was very relatable. After that I ended up following him around a lot to listen to his dialogue, and I still find that he is my favorite side character. I enjoy how flagrantly bisexual he is, how obsessed with his appearance and station he is, and that he's one of the few characters who talks about working at all (even if it is for his father's law firm). To me Gord is hard working. He works hard at his looks, his romantic life, and his professional life, and I think that shouldn't be overlooked. Jimmy is hardworking in his own way as well, though his is more tenacity. I think they both have a lot of room for growth and understanding and would be very compatible. I feel like Jimmy shows a preference for cheeky characters, and I think Gord has a definite thing for those he considers 'bad'.
Prompts:
Any future fic would be ideal. I love the idea of both of them leaving the toxicity of Bullworth and entering the equally toxic realm of adulthood, but growing and becoming better versions of themselves while still maintaining the flaws that made them enjoyable. I love Gord being vain and obsessed with his romantic and professional life. I love Jimmy with a chip on his shoulder and his untouchable self-confidence and bad attitude. Together they would be a mess of opposites, but one that would be hilarious and with surprising chemistry. I am completely open to interpretation on this prompt. If you would prefer them to be the equivalent of high school sweethearts who stayed together even after graduation then great. If you want them to meet at a bar by pure happenstance sometime after school. Awesome. If you want them both married to other people and meeting again only to have a messy, lust filled encounter in a bathroom? I'm here for it. I love them and their many possibilities.
Critical Role
I'm still relatively new to Critical Role. I think I've been watching for about a year now. I'm not finished with their first campaign (but I'm getting really close! Only about a dozen left!), but I have been staying current on campaign two. I am such a huge fan of the group's chemistry and creativity, and I am really enjoying their characters.
Fjord/Mollymauk
I am a huge sucker for both of these characters. I find that loving them individually is so incredibly easy. Fjord appeals to me very much. He is a character with drive, but no plan. He can make a decision. He can take action. He can lead. But even with all of his confidence, he's still just spinning his wheels while he waits for something he cannot identify to appear. I think that's how a lot of us feel in our lives, and that he is both so kind and polite as well as easy to distrust others is great to watch. Mollymauk I knew I'd like the moment he was introduced. The message that he portrayed to the world was so phenomenal. All of his talk of leaving places better than he found them and giving trust to chaos and not knowing is perfect and segues so perfectly with Fjord and what he is doing in his life.
Caduceus/Caleb
One of my favorite qualities of the show is that you get to watch first hand as things develop right in front of you naturally just like real life friendships and relationships. In episode 45 I felt like I was getting to see the very beginning of what could be Caduceus and Caleb. Around the 1hr6min mark they had their first proper conversation, and I was shocked to find how I sat up and took interest in them. It seemed to be so sudden and not what I had given any thought to before, but it felt natural and good. I know the conversation was meant as just being funny, but I think them both admitting that they make one another feel intimidated is highly telling. I like that they are essentially from two different worlds. Caleb is all about book knowledge and the arcane, and his painful past. Caduceus, on the other hand, is a spiritual person who is good with emotions and has lived a calm, secluded life (so far as we have learned thus far). They both have their root in magic, and I enjoy that together they would be a formidable magical duo.
Edit 1/11: I watched the most recent episode and they got even better. I am so pumped for this pairing!
Prompts:
Fjord/Mollymauk
I loved that they almost always shared a room, and likely a bed. There is great intimacy in sharing a space with a stranger, I believe. You begin to create a bond with that person in record time out of necessity, and I would love to see a story that reflects those hidden moments and growth in their relationship. I like the idea of Molly making Fjord blush and act awkward as he does when romance is in question. I love bed sharing. I can't imagine Molly isn't a cuddler. Tattoo worship, attention to Fjord's tusks, attention to Molly's horns...it's all good. I think Molly would love hearing his sailor stories as well, and you know tarot reading would be a common theme. There are a million small things I love about them that I think would work really well for these hidden moments that could be flirtatious, romantic, or sexual. As always, sex would be amazing, but not required if it is not something you as the writer feel up to. I do view Mollymauk as having a male body, but I have no issue with they/them pronouns if that is your preference. I've always referred to them as he/him as most of the characters did in the show, but I know there is discussion in this area, and I welcome either path in that regard.
Caduceus/Caleb
I would love to see a future fic about their burgeoning relationship. I would love to see what they considered intimidation to begin budding into esteem and affection. The day one of them sits up and realizes that what they're feeling is not comrade respect, but want and lust. Mutual pining that leads to a happy ending. I am completely open to how that comes about, but I would love to see more incredibly awkward and stilted conversation between the two. Perhaps some night watches together drinking tea and petting Frumpkin. I love their size difference, and I enjoy the thought that Caduceus would be the person most careful with Caleb. He would be gentle and patient and giving to the person in the group who needed it the most, and I feel like Caduceus would enjoy softening the world around him. It would be rewarding to the person who's entire calling is to nurture things that others consider beyond need of it. To say nothing of the fact that they both have exhibited signs of anxiety disorders whether they are aware of one another's or not. Having each other as a shoulder to lean on in these situations would be very rewarding to see. In summary, I think they are highly compatible, and I would love to see them blossom. Also it has to be said that I am a huge lover of mushrooms and fungi. That Caduceus basically has them as a sort of aesthetic to his magic due to being a grave cleric makes me so fucking happy. If there are pretty descriptions of them in the story I would be delighted.
