Name: yeomanrand and shinychimera
Contact email: yeomanjanicerand at gmail dot com and shinychimera at gmail dot com
We will create: fic
In the following parts of fandom: BBC (this is really the only one we're qualified to write for)
For the following pairings: We prefer Sherlock/John or Sherlock & John, but can also do Sherlock/Molly/John, Mycroft/Lestrade, Molly/Lestrade, or any friendship
We like working with the following categories: Explicit sexual content, vanilla or kinky; hurt/comfort, psychological angst; fluff; gen, het, slash; asexuality; domesticity and/or queerplatonic intimacy; AU (with caveats, see Special Requests); crossover (see our profiles for other fandoms); dark fic.
We are willing to create for the following kinks: Explicit sexual content, BDSM, dub-con, non-con/rape, bloodplay, temporary or permanent body marking, sex without condoms, virgin sex, double-penetration, polyamory, gangbang (negotiated), sex toys, fisting, rentboy-fic.

We want to receive: fic
In at least one of the following parts of fandom: BBC Series
For at least one of the following pairings: Sherlock/John or Sherlock & John
We like stuff in the following categories: Explicit sexual content of any flavor; gen, het, slash; asexuality; domesticity and/or queerplatonic intimacy; UST; AU (but see further details), crossover; hurt/comfort; dark fic, including violence, torture, abuse, drugs, etc.
We wouldn’t mind any of the following kinks: Explicit sexual content, BDSM, bloodplay, temporary or permanent body marking, sex without condoms, virgin sex, double-penetration, gangbang (negotiated), sex toys, fisting, rentboy-fic.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: A random list of stuff we like: Sherlock/John feeling each other out — either literally or figuratively. What makes Sherlock, John, or Sherlock/John unique; what other people don't understand about them. Bisexual John. Threesomes (not Jim or Mycroft, please). The Baker Street Irregulars. Bees. Mycroft being a difficult and intrusive but still caring big brother. Years later, in Sussex. John being a BAMF.

Actually, we prefer BAMF in all characters — woobies and shrinking violets aren't really our thing. We love women being awesome. And "competence porn", people excelling at their roles, doing the things only they can do. Teamwork, team building, found families. Turning a house into a home, combining separate possessions into a mutual mess, building a life together. Role reversal.

Complex characters (with shades of gray) dealing with their past and present while looking toward their future. PWP is fun in its own right, but we also love a slow burn where the tension is as much about developing emotional intimacy as it is about the physical. Also like the strength, mutual reliance (and hotness) of settled relationships.

Trust issues. Complicated hurt/comfort. Intense emotion. Broken/jaded people. Secretly needy people. Smart but unwise people. Dark fics. Twists: fics that take unexpected turns, or tweak one element of a familiar character in unexpected ways.

Emotions during sex. Sex in general, and many kinks, especially with BDSM flavors: we love bondage and domination that hits the emotional and psychological elements, not just the physical practices and props. Explorations of consent and trust.

Possible quote prompts:

• "Felony by proxy. You have to give him credit."


• I am no superman/I have no reasons for you/I am no hero oh, that's for sure/but I do know one thing/where you are/is where I belong/I do know where you go/is where I want to be.


• You were my only home, silver eyes/I want to see you shine/and we will feel the weight fall away from us in time/searching our past for the true you and I.


• I drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart.

Regarding AUs: We like AUs, and we'd welcome magical realism that hits on any of our "likes" above (Touchstone is a lovely example), but don't have a lot of interest in vampire/werewolf/supernatural creature tropes.

The Please Don'ts: NO eating disorders (a trigger for Rand), and no feederism/forced feeding. No character-bashing. No suicidal John post-TRF. No vampires or werewolves. No genderswap. No MPREG or Kid!Fic. No incest, no watersports or scat, no necrophilia, no shame/humiliation-based kink. And no magical healing cock, please — sex for comfort's fine, just not as The Fix for bigger issues.

For a rather more (fandom non-specific) detailed look at the kinds of things we like, there's always Rand's Pinboard and Chimera's Pinboard. And for examples of our fic, here are the AO3 lists for Yeomanrand and shinychimera (lots of overlap, since we co-write so often).

Special requests: We would be willing to take on an AU request or crossovers but nothing extremely supernatural. We're also willing to remix a requester's existing fic. Also, we've done first times or first meetings the last few times out; while that's not a deal-breaker for either of us we'd prefer other options.

"Competence porn" is my new favorite term. Thanks for articulating my personal überkink.
