Briefly describe what you'd like to receive in your fic: To be honest, I would LOVE a fic that is inspired, or even a little similar, to Pride and Prejudice. The class division, the pride, the redemption, prejudices and how they're resolves, I love it. (I don't mean you have to write an AU, just inspired by, even loosely). I enjoy passion and UST most of all, as well as battles of wits and clever banter, petty competitions and happy endings. I think it would be brilliant to see the parents of both interacting.

The tone/mood of the fic: Romance with a kick. ;)

An element/line of dialogue/object you would specifically like in your fic: "I expected this to be a lot more difficult." "Oh, I haven't even begun."

Preferred rating of the the fic you want: Any you see fit but while I love my smut, I'll take plot over it any day.

Canon or AU? I prefer canon, though I don't mind EWE (in this case, I'd prefer it).

Deal Breakers (anything you don't want?): I would like a happy ending, so no tragedy or death!fic. I also prefer post-war fics. Rape, complete PWP, cross-dressing and gender-swapping, submissive Draco, marriages, kids, divorces, or infidelity, no strong fetish like golden showers, vomit, or blood/torture. No complete AUs.
