I love identity porn, fuck-or-die, mirror-verses, and a sort of reversed xeno-kink where humans are considered weird by an alien view-point character. They definitely come up in my writing, but I absolutely love to see other people's takes on them.
Not sure why I like identity porn, but it's probably like knowing where the music's going. Tension, tension, chord resolves in a logically-following, but interesting way.
Fuck-or-die, possibly weirdly, is a character study thing for me? How does character x deal with completely a left-field situation. I love mornings after and the awkward interactions surrounding it.
Mirror-verses are about what stays the same and what changes in an alignment flip. Bubbly character is still bubbly, just while they're torturing puppies rather than cuddling them. Ruthless character is still ruthless, but now more self-sacrificing? Or maybe still sees people as pawns but is torn up about it?
Finally, reverse-xeno kink is both funny, but also seeing humans from the outside as cute, blunt-toothed practically herbivores or as ruthless killing machines that can come after you even when they've just lost a limb or a third of their blood volume fascinates me for some reason. Context!
