(all but one of my requested tags are mpreg tags, so my likes are pretty focused there, but I'll expand on what I like about the one non-mpreg tag I requested down below)
• Incorporating pregnancy into the worldbuilding somehow.
• Switching, letting the pregnant person top. Maybe they were planning for a baby, but they accidentally got it backwards and the wrong one is pregnant, or it's their second kid and the other one had the first.
• Pregnancy that comes as a huge surprise. Maybe it was an accident or something that's really rare, or they used magic that they didn't expect to actually work
• Smut incorporating any combination of body worship, difficulty positioning, belly loving, and just fluffy, lovey heart eyes. Kissing during sex.
• Established but still pretty new relationships, pregnancy coming at an inconvenient time but making it work anyway.
• Happy endings. Make the beginning and middle as rocky as you want, but at the end I want two happy parents and a healthy baby (whether that baby is in or out of the womb is up to you)
• All the gross details. I promise, where pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and infant care is concerned you couldn't squick me if you tried.
• Belly. Rub the belly, touch the belly, talk to the belly, kiss the belly. All bellies welcome, from the still flat but wow there's a baby in there belly, to the overdue with twins belly. There are no bad bellies. I cannot stress this enough: belly good.
• Pregnancy that is unusual in-universe. Maybe it's omegaverse and male omegas are uncommon, maybe they encountered some magic, maybe male pregnancy is something that is known to happen but just very rare to the point where most people will never know a pregnant man. Coming up with ways to tell friends and family, feeling weird about it at first (not emasculated, just kind of mind blown that this is really a thing that is happening to them) coming around to being happy about it at some point before or even immediately after birth.
• Exhausted new parents, adjusting to life with a baby.
• Humor. Not like crackfic, but this can be a pretty ridiculous situation, so it's fine to lean into that and embrace it.
• Love, fluff, feelings. Quiet domesticity in the midst of whatever is going on in the world.
• Parents continuing their career while pregnant or parenting (or planning to continue it after they recover for the pregnant parent)
• Post-canon fic. Anywhere from immediately post-canon to many years post-canon when they're just on the brink of too old for this. I like it when the characters still have basically the same lives (met in the same way, with the same age gap and the same profession and hobbies) but the world is different. Maybe it's slightly magical, or omegaverse is a thing.
• Shotgun weddings
DNW
• Use of feminine gendered terms for male characters, such as mom, wife, princess, etc
• Use of animal terms to describe a baby or pregnancy (Nicknaming the baby is fine, I mean things like referring to babies in general as pups or kits, or pregnancies as a litter)
• Break ups, infidelity, or suspicion of infidelity (open relationship is fine for Kojiro/Kaoru)
• Daddy kink
• Rule 63/gender swap in fic (fine in art if you switch both of them to make it F/F)
• Trans or asexual headcanons for requested characters
Avatar Legend of Korra
Mako/Prince Wu
Avatar LoK: Opening of the third spirit portal caused gradual worldwide onset of omegaverse
I just love the idea of omegaverse as this big world changing event where everyone is experiencing it and trying to figure it out all at once, maybe without even really having established terms for things yet. I have a real soft spot for omega Mako and beta Wu, but I'd be happy with any combo.
ALL: Mpreg as Result of Magic
Maybe a spirit world thing? I have a slight preference for Mako to be the one who is pregnant just because it's really funny
Sk8 the Infinity
Nanjo Kojiro/Sakurayashiki Kaoru
ALL: Unplanned mpregnancy
>:3c No preference for which one, both options are great.
ALL: Mpreg is rare AU
The rarity might be the deciding factor in choosing to keep it. What if it's their only chance?
All: Mpreg is common AU
Broken condom, maybe? Or maybe they were actually trying.
ALL: Soulmate AU - First Time With Soulmate Automatically Causes Pregnancy
How were they supposed to know they were soulmates? Whoopsie!
Yuri!!! on Ice
Otabek Altin/Yuri Plisetsky
ALL: Unplanned mpregnancy
>:D No preference for which one, both options are great!
ALL: Mpreg as Result of Magic
ALL: Male character gets pregnant by magic
Grouping these two tags together because they're basically the same thing. Maybe it's a curse or blessing put on them by a fan that made it possible, or maybe they sought out a magical solution when they decided to start a family.
ALL: Soulmate AU - First Time With Soulmate Automatically Causes Pregnancy
Mixed feelings here, they were hoping on some level to be soulmates, but this is also not great timing. They're not sure what would be worse, being soulmates and having a baby now or sleeping together only to find that they're not soulmates after all. Maybe they aren't really considering that they could be soulmates, they're just having a good time and whoops! Maybe they suspect that they might be soulmates and they know they aren't ready for a baby, but they assumed non-penetrative sex wouldn't "count"
ALL: Mpreg is rare AU
What are the odds? The rarity ups the stakes and might make them decide to keep it even when it means a major disruption to the career of whichever one is pregnant.
All: Mpreg is common AU
They knew it could happen, maybe there was birth control failure involved, or maybe they were actually trying.
