SVSSS Specific DNWs
Click for SVSSS DNWs
- PIDW characters finding out they were considered fictional in another world.
- LBH's neglect/abuse by SJ!SQQ treated as another false accusation/rumor. (See clarification section)
- Anything that shows Shen Jiu's imprisonment from his or Binghe's POV, or rescues set after he loses arms (leg loss is fine as long as he's still able to function independently, eye loss is fine).
- For Liushen or Cucumberplane *only*: Current or past Bingqiu within a fic for a pairing/poly Luo Binghe isn't in (This DNW is *only* about dealing with the canon relationship. Lishen → Bingliushen is fine as long as it's not V type. Binqiu in the background of non-Liushen non-Cucumberplane fics is totally fine.)
- For Cucumberplane *only*: Current or past Moshang unless writing SQH/SY/MBJ poly. (MBJ pining in the background is fine! Background Moshang in non-Cucumberplane fic is totally fine.)
Dragon Age Specific DNWs
Click for Dragon Age DNWs

- The fall of the Dales being portrayed as primarily the fault of the elves, as what they deserved for becoming isolationist, or as something they brought upon themselves (Ameridan being frustrated with them for being isolationist or recognizing that those policies gave Drakon II the excuse he wanted is totally fine!)
SWTOR Specific DNWs
Click for SWTOR DNWs
- Master/Apprentice ships
- Master/Slave ships
- Dark Sided Jedi Consular
Andromeda Specific DNWs
Click for Andromeda DNWs
- Custom Names for Player Characters (Defaults are Scott and Sara, just using Ryder/Pathfinder is also fine)
- Anything about Kadara, exiled colonists, or colonists as raiders. This includes even passing mentions of it. The Uprising is fine, as are the non-exile-related effects of it (Kandros as head of security, the Krogan Colony, ect), but nothing to do with exile. If a reference could easily read as though they were put back into cyropods instead of exiled, then it should be fine. AUs where exile never happened are fine.
Assassin's Creed Specific DNWs
Click for Assassin's Creed DNWs
- The Legacy of the First Blade DLC (pretend it doesn't exist).
Clarifications
Click for DNW Clarifications
- "Requested character" in all cases refers to the character/pairing from my requests that you choose to focus on in the fic. I'm not expecting those DNWs to apply to every character I requested, just the one you're writing and tagging the fic for.
- SVSSS Specific Clarification: Since we know from the book that SJ definitely expected Binghe to die from the wrong manual and knew about the bullying, if that treatment comes up I'd rather the canon situation not be characterized as one of the things he was falsely accused of. It doesn't need to be brought up at all if it isn't relevant, I don't expect any sort of lesson or regret about it, and AUs that cause it to not happen or cause SJ to have a different outlook are definitely welcome! I just don't want fic where it's said or implied that canon PIDW SJ didn't do those things or that it wasn't his choice/fault or that he had a "good" motivation behind those actions.
- Planned public declarations of love that only one half of the pairing knows about ahead of time: I mean things like public marriage proposals/announcements, public confession speeches, announcing the relationship, ect. If the characters have already talked about that sort of thing and the in-the-dark-character is going to react like "Oh hey that thing we talked about is happening now, with no unpleasant surprises that will make me uncomfortable", then don't worry about it! I just don't want them caught off guard or embarrassed by something they had no idea was coming. (It's a big second-hand embarrassment thing for me.)
- Suspicion of Cheating: I mean things like "Are they dating someone else/want to date someone else/slept with someone else/am I a side piece" ect, but not things like "Are they flirting with that waitress". Momentary "Wait wait--oh no that's not it at all" type suspicions are also fine in general, as long as there is no stretch of time where cheating is suspected (for either the reader or the characters)
- V-type poly: What I mean by this is poly where two of the characters are into a third but not each other. I need some sort of romantic relationship for all three legs of a poly relationship, even if it's antagonistic or low key.
- Breakups involving characters in the pairing within the fic: I basically don't want breakup fic, whether that's between both of the characters in the pairing or if it's one character in the pairing breaking up with a prior relationship. It's fine if a canon relationship breaks up *before* the fic and that's mentioned, but I don't want a gift that involves that arc.
- Non-canon permanent major character death: I don't want something where someone who didn't permanently die in canon does so, but I'm fine with characters dying in different ways than how they died in canon as long as the fic is clearly tagged so that I know what I'm getting into. I care a lot less about this for antagonist characters. Kill Corypheus however you want and I won't blink, but please give me clear warning for an alternate Su Xiyan death. There's also probably antagonists who didn't die in canon that I'm fine dying in a fic, but defining exactly where the antagonist line lies is hard so probably double check on those. Exception: If they die and come back in a way that they usually have a form indistinguishable from a normal alive person, such as TGCF style powerful ghosts or vampires.
- Permanent requested character death (even if canon): I don't want any of the requested characters to be dead at the end of the fic. I don't want a pre-death fic that very blatantly references or leads into the start of the plotline of the eventual canon character death.
- Related things to the character death DNWs that are totally okay!: Temporary death. Character mistakenly thinking someone is dead or grieving for a temporarily dead character. Fic where the canonically dead character is dead for most of the fic as long as they're alive by the end of the fic. Dead character comes back as a corporeal ghost ala TGCF or a similar "Basically alive with fancy powers" sort of undead. Pre-death fic that doesn't very blatantly reference or lead into the canonical character death plotline. Pre-death fic that leads into/directly references canonical death plot but clearly sets up a divergence even if the characters don't realize the significance at the time. Time Travel/Time Loop/Peggy Sue fixit where the canonically dead character definitely died in the last timeline but they're averting it this time. Canon divergence dealing directly with the canon death plotline. Not mentioning the temporarily dead character during a canon divergence, as long as it isn't implied the divergence will keep them dead. Character attempting to permanently self sacrifice and being stopped. Character successfully self sacrificing thinking it will be permanent and it's temporary. Character self sacrificing with the intention of it being temporary while knowing it could be permanent (but it's temporary).
