Hello fellow TouMaki fan!
I'm going to elaborate a little on some things I do and do not like, but I also want to make clear that this is just extra info if you want it, and not any kind of "required reading".
I am also a writer and not at all an artist, so I apologize in advance if what I say is not super helpful with respect to artsy folks. With that said, here we go.
Likes:
-missing scenes and canon-compliant future setting
-tan lines and alternate hairstyles
-hair in general (touching, dyeing, styling, anything around hair)
-social/"mixed" media storytelling (ex - texts in fic, art in the form of Instagram pictures, stuff like that)
-healthy, loving relationships, even if things aren't going so well
-Arakita and Toudou being argumentative BFFs
-Makishima and Tadokoro being BFFs
-AUs: Superpowers, Harry Potter, Pacific Rim (luv me some PacRim), Pokemon, Temeraire, soulmate-identifying marks
-Fave tropes: fake dating, miscommunication, injuries and the taking-care-of, disgusting domesticity
-horror AUs can be fun so if you're inclined that way, go for it
-future Toudou as a pro cyclist
Dislikes:
-non-canon genders
-I don't want anything explicitly sexual, though implication is a-ok
-I have no triggers in fiction, so within the context of not-sex, go absolutely as wild as you want, I promise it won't bother me at all and it's very likely that I'll love it
Specific Prompts:
-Future canon. This is something I've played with myself several times, but I love the idea of them trying to adjust their relationship around a greater distance, timezone differences, busy schedules, and Makishima's inherent inability to communicate not-in-person.
-Fake dating. Someone (Arakita?) challenges Toudou that even though he has so many ~fans~, he wouldn't be able to make a relationship last more than a week/month/whatever. Toudou, offended by the accusation, persuades Makishima to fake-date him to prove him wrong. But! The dating was fake, but the feelings were real all along!
