Request 1 by Dolorosa
Cupid and Psyche (Metamorphoses - Apuleius)
Psyche (Metamorphoses - Apuleius), Cupid (Metamorphoses - Apuleius)
General likes:
Found families and 'us against the world' dynamics
Human/non-human pairings
Relationships with power imbalances
Hurt/comfort and trauma recovery, especially in contexts where the relationship between the characters is somewhat fraught and complicated
Dark fairytales
Metamorphoses and transformations

Ordinary human beings encountering/interacting with the supernatural and otherwordly, and vice versa
Stories that hinge on bargaining, diplomacy and exchange, and characters who are clever and perceptive about these things
Stories that make heroic the ordinary activities of everyday life, especially things considered 'women's work'
DNWs:
Fusions and crossovers
Canon divergence and setting change AUs are fine, but I don't want any AU that fundamentally changes the rules of the universe in which the source material is set (so if the source material is a setting in which magic/the supernatural is real, or in which human beings interact with gods, I want this to be retained in any setting-change AU)
Incest
Omegaverse
Unrequested identity headcanons
Unrequested ships involving my requested characters (background pairings involving unrequested characters are fine though)
Death of requested characters
Please see letter for fandom-specific likes and DNWs.
