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

Stories within stories

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.
