I wouldn’t mind any of the following kinks: Explicit sex, virgin sex, hand kink, voice kink, praise kink, science kink, military kink, body worship, explicit consent, writing on the body

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I like character-driven stories. Sex is fine if it happens, but for me it’s not really the point; it’s more about the emotions and the dynamic between the characters, so traditional PWP tends to not be my thing. I love emotional intimacy and fics that dig into the minds and hearts of the characters, and I adore vivid, poetic imagery. Category-wise, I’ll read just about anything, but I don’t like most of the kinks listed here in the past (i.e. no dub-con, non-con/rape, incest, Omegaverse, BDSM, watersports/scat, bestiality, humiliation, mpreg). I am historically a sucker for angst and pining, especially when it's Sherlock pining for John and/or trying to learn how to deal with his own emotions, but I also love happier things like character studies, misunderstandings between the characters where they're both saying the same thing/feeling the same way but haven't realized it yet, anything involving "it's for a case/science, John," love triumphing over death, and offbeat Sherlockian versions of romance or attempts at such. That being said, don't let me limit your muse too much; new fic is a wondrous thing. :)

Special requests: I don't mind reading fics with explicit sex, but writing it is not my forte, so I'm not a good match for someone who wants PWP. Ditto for case fics.
