Wanted tropes: Psychological horror, gore, torture (both physical and mental/emotional), PTSD and related issues, trauma recovery (that's actually my favorite thing about dark fic, the fallout and the dealing with that stuff afterwards), kinky sex as an instrument to deal with past trauma, child abuse (if referenced or implied in canon), character death, dystopia and apocalypse, captivity and restraints, body horror (except anything involving eyes), permanent injury (preferably both inflicted and dealt with onscreen), mindfuck and manipulation, unreliable narrator, humiliation and degradation, invasion of privacy, altered perception (for whatever reason) and its consequences, involuntary nudity, coercion, intimacy without love. Incest if it's treated as unhealthy and terrible, soulmates (or most other usually happy tropes) gone wrong, enemies to lovers/lust, power imbalance that is addressed as such and/or skewed in favor of the seemingly weaker party. Unwanted tropes: I'm picky with consent-related issues, especially when it comes to women -- actually, I'm always pickier when it comes to women, I prefer my guys to do the suffering. Victim blaming, even implied or referenced, is a huge no, though I can be fine with it if the narrative recognizes and acknowledges that the victim isn't actually at fault. Graphic and descriptive non-con is a hard no. Forced nudity and threats of rape or sexual violence, especially in the context of torture, are okay, as long as a rescue happens before said threats are actually followed up on. I don't like feminization of male characters or sexist/gendered slurs, and racism is also a total nope. Please avoid permanent injury. Also, actual slavery, mpreg bestiality, medical experimentation, and anything involving bodily fluids and excrement. I can deal with vomit if it's not graphic, and watersports is okay if it focuses on the desperation and humiliation and not on the fact that it is, well, pissing. Underage below the age of sixteen, and age gaps of more than fifteen years (physically and/or mentally) or with one party below, say, twenty -- meaning, for example, twenty-two and thirty-seven is okay, fifteen and thirty is definitely not. A/B/O is out, so is any kind of kink-based AU universe.
And generally, don't go overboard and keep it in character and in the context of the source fandom, even if you go for an AU.
