Ships specific likes:
If you're doing Patzagchilles, I love explorations of Pat/Zag on the side, particularly what it might look like if Pat is pinging for Achilles but also finds he has enough space for Zag!!! Pat recognizing that Achilles and Zag are gone for each other but Zag not wanting to get in the way of Pat.

Fandom specific dnw:

Getting back together!!! Please consider: "Did you forget Lafayette?" 👀

Also please consider Regency AU, Hamilton and Lafayette would both kill it at the ball/meetings

I enjoy setting changes but for this fandom I would prefer keeping it in the same non-fantastical/non-scifi universe but playing with the AUs that are representative (if not exaggerated) of "real life" modern AUs, modern politics AUs, pirate/navy AUs, Regency AUs, Royalty AUs, etc etc.

Staticmoth Opt-Ins

Daddy Kink: I'm definitely good with Val calling Vox "papi/papito" and himself "daddy". Is Vox into it or annoyed? Either way is good!

Futanari: Give Valentino whatever genitals you want. Vox being able to change out his parts for whatever (though likely requiring some convincing, depending on the time and his current mindset) is also amazing.

Genderbending: Either or both being women? Yes. As long as they are still both awful to everyone outside of the Vees, give it to me.

Infidelity: Technically I don't see Valentino cheating on Vox, because Valentino wouldn't have said anything about being monogamous. But Vox feeling like he's being cheated on, despite knowing better, is something I'm down for exploring. I tend to think Vox is too monogamous and obsessed with Valentino, but even if he saw someone else, Valentino wouldn't consider it cheating.

Trans Headcanons: I usually prefer them both going by he/him, but if you want to make one or both transition into or from women or nonbinary? Also good. Val particularly being good with fluidity and taking it is stride is excellent. I imagine Vox would have more hangups with it.

Non-Con/Dub-Con: I still prefer it's not non-con, but sometimes I will ask for it. Or, if it is, they both enjoy it at the end.

Omegaverse: Give me them both as alphas. Give me beta Valentino who tries to act like an alpha with all his other tricks. Give me Vox hiding being an omega with suppressants, whether or not Valentino or Velvette know. Give me NESTING FICS!
