Hello, fellow writer! I'm so much here for jealousy and obsession, and I'm glad we share a fandom!
Happy writing!

What I love:
* Angst! Jealousy of course, lots of pining. You can have only a character waxing poetic/possessive about another for all the fic if you're into it! I love tragedy too.
* Dialogue! Promises and fights and double meaning sentences and love confessions and everything!
* Smut! Possessive sex, pining while fucking. If the sex won't happen because it's one-sided, I love masturbation with fantasies too, and dream sex.
* Convoluted stock plots! I love undercover spying situations, but in general anything that makes the tropes work is nice (including taking care of someone wounded). Humor is welcome as long as it's not making the characters' feelings seems irrelevant/small.
* Horror! Psychological horror, or situations that break a character. I especially love any kind of mind control or mental influences. Also everything related to hurting/killing the one you love, or hurting yourself for them. Noncon and underage (14yo and above) are welcome.

Do Not Wants:
* Character bashing even of unrequited characters (a jealous character can think awful things about another, it doesn't mean I want to feel like it's true)
* AU except for canon divergence, or light supernatural that doesn't change the stakes for mundane canons.
* Non-canon incest, non-canon character death except mentioned otherwise (but feel free to riff on canon character death, or to have believed-to-be-dead plots)
* Accidental/arranged Marriage, soulmates/soul marks, infidelity/cheating, love at first sight (obsession as first sight is very good, but not as a positive thing)
* De-aging, extreme underage (under 14yo), ageplay, infantilization. Bimbofication.
* Gender or sex swaps, trans headcanons except mentioned otherwise. Gender as a central theme, including possessiveness for sexist reasons.
* Survival horror, pandemics (including zombie apocalypse), post-apocalypse.
* A character being loved, winning the love triangle, and being jealous without any factual reason.

The Moonstone Covenant by Jill Hammer was absolutely amazing! Four wives investigate the death of Olloise's parents and end up in the middle of a political plot.

This is my favourite 2025 read so far. It's beautifully written like old-school fantasy, the comparison to Le Guin isn't exaggerated. The worldbuilding is rich (thanks for the map and the appendices!) and the many characters have complex lives. I also enjoyed the "book" theme as one of the wives is a warrior-librarian and another has book magic.

This is established f/f/f/f, which is lovely as all-female polyamory is still rare rep. Minor enbies make an appearance.

----------

Wednesday S2A was a lot of fun! It makes sense as a story arc, so you don't need to wait until September to watch both parts together.

This season focuses on the whole family, not just Wednesday and Thing.

Billie Piper has joined the cast, but has been underused so far. Hopefully, she'll have more to do in S2B.
