Comics Steve/Tony: 616, 1872
Other Fandoms/Ships/Characters:
- Kirk/Spock (TOS and SNW, but AOS is cool too)
- Dean/Cas
Likes:
- getting together
- scifi tropes like body swapping, time travel, multiverse shenanigans, amnesia, presumed dead, identity porn, telepathy, robots and AIs
- favorite shippy tropes include fake relationships, not actually unrequited love, sex pollen or fuck or die (dubcon and noncon welcome), enemies to lovers (or friends to enemies to lovers), betrayal and forgiveness
- plot
- canon-based stories
- happy endings
Art prompts:
(these go for any of the fandoms I mentioned, and any Steve/Tony universe except MCU!)
- bondage/captivity
- costume swap or stealing each other’s clothes
- Steve and Tony are shrunk down to 1/12th scale
- non-fandom art of ANIMALS! (my favorites include: manatees; dogs; wolves; whales; caterpillars; octopuses, spiders, otters, bears, hedgehogs, elephants, pigs, bison, crows, bats, moose, and sloths.)
Dislikes: Pregnancy, mpreg, a/b/o, kidfic, infants, animal harm, Nazi imagery, scat, permanent character death, not generally into AUs where the era is different and people with magic or superpowers don't have them anymore, fluff without plot
Non-fandom related requests/anything else?:
- I'd prefer not to get Christmas greetings.
- I haven’t been reading much Steve/Tony in the last year, and would love recs that fit my likes! Especially for fics longer than 20k.
- I love dogs, especially sled dogs, and appreciate any and all pictures of them
- Recs for fantasy (or scifi) books starring Jewish characters, preferably with Jewishness playing a role in the plot. My faves are Spinning Silver and When the Angels Left the Old Country. I also love Michael Chabon’s writing, and some of his stuff goes into sff sometimes.
- I’m extremely picky about video games but always want recs!
Video game likes: exploring; collecting; crafting; witchy vibes; fairy tale vibes; unique puzzles
Video game dislikes: pixel graphics; combat; graphic animal harm (using animals as ingredients/food is usually fine); most anime style art; visual novels
Game styles that are physically challenging/impossible for me: timing/rhythm games; most music games (if only a handful of puzzles are music based, I can just make my partner do them); platformers or anything else that involves repeatedly resetting to a previous point
Games I love that are typical for me: Potion Craft; Abzu; Aka; Black Book; Chants of Sennaar; Hexcells; In Other Waters; Portal; Reka; Roki; Samorost 3; Tiny Glade; Townscaper; Sable; Stacklands; Strange Horticulture; Stray; Wytchwood
Games I love that are exceptions: Baldur’s Gate 3 (combat, I like turn-based the best and played on the easiest mode and savescummed like crazy); Inscryption (some pixel graphics); Psychonauts (combat, I had my partner do most of the boss battles for me, but I’m obsessed with the graphics and mindscapes)
More info: I didn’t care for Midnight Suns, even though I’ve enjoyed other deck battlers (Black Book, Inscrpytion). I wanted to like Edith Finch but found it meh overall (though I loved the graphics). I tried Gris for the graphics but still find platformers frustrating. I thought I’d adore Untitled Goose Game, but kept having to look up the puzzle solutions, which sucked the fun out of it.

Date: 2025-02-11 09:58 am (UTC)Hey lovely. Your request for SFF featuring Jewish characters had me thinking – both about books I have read, and – to be honest – about how I haven't read nearly enough Jewish-centred novels.
In this list I'm avoiding the fantasy races coded as Jewish or the historical-feel of books like The Lions of Al-Rassan (and my beloved Kushiel's Legacy) - because that's not what you're after!
Recommendations:
I recommend Mary Robinette Kowal's Lady Astronaut series. The name put me off for the longest time, but they're really good alternate history books. Elma is the main character, but the third book does follow one of ther friends. The fourth one comes out in March!
I really liked He, She and It by Marge Piercy. Your fan fic likes suggest you'll love the AI/robot stuff in this book.
The Seep by Chana Porter. I loved this book so much. Trina is Jewish and Native American, a trans butch lesbian. The Seep is supposed everyone's life easier but it seems that's only if you're easily labeled.
A book I own but haven't read yet: The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava Reid has a main character discovering her Jewish identity.
I haven't been able to get into The Golem and the Jinni by Helen Wecker but I think that's MY problem. Everyone seems to love it.
Books I'm adding to my to-read list:
Jews vs Aliens edited by Lavie Tidhar and Rebecca Levene
People of The Book Anthology
Both books by Rena Rossner
Isaac Fellman's books – particularily The Breath of The Sun but Dead Collections looks promising.
Mangoverse books by Shira Glassman. I feel like these have been on my radar for a while.
Merkabah Rider Series by Edward M. Erdelac
Unholy Land by Lavie Tidhar (apparently goes way beyond the initial alt-history premise)
Angelglass by David Barnett
Hopefully I've found something that interests you!
