General likes:
Childhood flashbacks and backstory; flashbacks and pre-canon backstory in general; slice of life; dreams, hallucinations, drugs and other ways to look into the characters' subconscious (I like when it gets very weird, but it also doesn't have to); dream logic; symbolism; physical manifestations of metaphorical personal monsters; psychological horror; magical realism; parallels; character study; a character meeting their child self; "what if" AU and other kinds of canon divergent AUs; time travel AU in the context of getting a second chance to do something from the past differently (the "Peggy Sue" trope); a character saving their younger self from trauma; crossovers; isekai; unreliable narrator; outsider POV; dorkiness; characters having fun; children doing their own thing and not being controlled; humor; pop culture references (from tv more than from movies); future/post-canon; exploring canon mental illness and the process of healing from trauma; self-(re)discovery.
Additional fandom-specific likes:
I love Martha's dream and its implications - it seems like she remembers much more than she's aware of. Did she briefly wake up from being drugged before she was successfully put on the island? Is this how her ankle got hurt?
A "what if" AU where Linh survives would also be really interesting.
Other than that, I don't have anything more specific in mind here, I'm going to love everything you come up with! :)
General dislikes (DNW):
Any romance; any sex; any kink; physical illness/sickness; someone being taken care of by another person (grooming, feeding, etc.); unresolved mind control or possession; possessiveness portrayed as positive; violating consent and freedom portrayed as positive when it's "not a big deal" or "for someone's own good", also in a non-sexual context, also when it applies to children (convincing someone to do things they don't like, "playfully" tickling when someone says no, intentionally limiting someone's choices, "grounding", etc.); parents' POV on a parent-child relationship; self-sacrifice and self-denial portrayed as positive; non-canon pregnancy and childbirth; AU that completely changes characters' backstories; persecutory delusions and delusions of reference (other symptoms of mental illnesses are not just okay, but very welcome). [The Wilds-specific: My "persecutory delusions" DNW doesn't apply to Leah because she is objectively right, even if she doesn't know it for sure from her POV.]

Re: The Marcus sisters, I'm really interested in their backstory - how exactly they saved the world, how Beth died, how they got to where they are now.
Re: Persephone, I love the idea that Persephone had a bigger plan for Julia, not necessarily a benevolent one, for example something like this: https://face--the--strange.tumblr.com/post/620239835151695873/headcanon-in-which-persephone-who-wants-to-leave Or just anything from her POV, to understand her motivations better.

Permanent death for Quentin 40 (the DNW doesn't apply to Quentins from other timelines). If what you write about happens canonically after he died (like Hope Quentin being born and growing up), you can either fix-it his death or just avoid mentioning it, please.
Eliot forgiving his father or other abusive family members.

Re: Fogg & anyone, I would love any of these characters as a Brakebills student, maybe having the first conversation with Fogg, or just talking to him at any point.
