Dear Secret-Mutant,

Firstly, thanks for being part of a great exchange! I will truly love anything that you create for me, no matter what it is (I love gifts really, I do!)

Use those prompts as a jumping off point, but as many others have said, if they don't spark you, go with something from here and I'll love it all the same.

Things I adore: AUs (any time, no really), size kink, banter/snark, angst with a happy (or hopeful depending on the circumstances ending). I'm a fan of A/O dynamics, but that's not at all a requirement. To that point, I'm also okay with dub-con and in some cases non-con (see A/O and it's faults).

I adore history (hello college major) and so the more accurate anything is the better. (I have a healthy suspension of disbelief when I need it so crack is fine too.

This list is by no means inclusive. You're welcome to look through my AO3 bookmarks to get an idea of what I read (and even my own writing for what I've done before). I'm a huge fan of unconventional ways to tell a story, so telling me something out of sequence is amazing.

If you're an artist, I hope that something in the situation of a prompt can inspire you, but again, it's not at all a requirement. Giving me some slice of life piece is more than acceptable and in fact, if you're up for it, you could just as well create something to go with any of my stories (save the work I did with Nekosmuse and the Actors 'verse as those are really not mine in the same way; my RBB fics are sort of off limits for the reason that art already exists). It's really up to you what you want to do.

Character wise, I'm a fan of Erik (for all his faults), Charles, Raven, Emma (for all her issues). Ensemble stories/pieces are also great.

Specifically to the prompts, I'm often inspired by music, which is where prompt 1 comes from. Fame is a great movie and that song always makes me a little wistful.

Prompt 2 comes from my adoration for College AUs. Roll with the pain or hurt at their break-up and do whatever you want with it. Have them bicker at each other for a weekend, or have them fall back into love with each other. Anything goes.

Prompt 3 is just something that I've been thinking about. Again it's inspired by a lyric. First meeting and/or first times are totally welcome with this.

I've also been craving some good old fashion period appropriate AUs, which is where 4 comes from. Mobs or Politicians, I don't really care, but give me guys in tailored suits who have been tested by the Great War before the Stock Market Crash and women who know how to use the changing societal norms to their advantage.

Like I said at the beginning, this is all just my ideas. Go with your muse and your heart. I'll be happy no matter what.
