They only wanted porn. I don't really write smut, but fine. The only likes they listed were extremish kinks that would not work with the pairing we matched on. As in canonically they couldn't do any of those things (or have sex at all). And they wanted a happy ending, which I couldn't really see for the pairing either. I did try my best, wrote something erotic that ended before there could be any problems. Other people seem to like the fic, don't know about the recip since they're a serial non-commenter. (I didn't know that beforehand, after that Yuletide I always check. I could have saved myself a lot of pain if I'd just gone full ODAO, which I would have had I realized they wouldn't even bother to say thank you...)
