Just backing it up here so it's easier to fiiiind! I wrote these thoughts in reply to things that user merelyafigment said, which is why it may seem like I'm in conversation (I was):

Miguel, general kinks:

Like you, I think he's a bit of an exhibitionist but only to a certain degree—like showing off his body—don't think he's got any problem with nudity, likes borderline egregious PDA, but that's it in terms of being out in public. After that he wants to skip off to privacy, but like in that privacy, I think he'd be into jerking off in front of a partner, taking off his clothes, languishing nude, being admired, etc. In a similar vein of PDA, I also think Miguel actually enjoys being marked by hickeys or even scratch marks on his back and such by his partner (under normal, non-Oz circumstances), wearing it as badges of pride. I think Chico doesn't mind being marked (likes the process of being marked more; see below), but isn't as excited by just showing them off necessarily.
Dirty talk: I am not great at writing dirty talk myself (also find it kind of cringe sometimes) but I think Miguel would like engaging in it and in particular gets off on when someone spins him some filthy yarn that captures his imagination. I guess I could also see shades of him being into roleplay in a related sense, pretending to be other people, though what scenarios he would enjoy in particular, I have no clue.
Edging/Orgasm denial: Him doing the edging, that is, lol, and to that extent, begging—being begged and, HEAR ME OUT! being made to beg (sometimes) (Look. I think he just likes the challenge there, the push and pull, though he is resistent to being made to beg/put aside his pride outside of the bedroom)

I also really enjoy the idea of Miguel having a praise kink, and that scenario, although I kind of think of it more in the "that AU" sense, so I guess it doesn't factor into my general headcanon, although maybe I could see a little body worship being a general kink of his in that vein?

Chico, on the other hand, I know what you mean about the knifeplay, although I find myself not really thinking of it as a specific kink but maybe something that folds into a different one.

Chico:

Semi-public sex: I think he likes the thrill of alleyway quickies and hand stuff under a table, etc.
Rough sex: Again, I think he'd just find it very fun
Rimming: I know in my heart that he eats ass. I just know that he does. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. Related(?): I think he just has a bit of an oral fixation/likes using his mouth and tongue. Likes giving oral in general.
Consensual Non-consent: This thought comes more from a concept of how he would mentally engage/begin to explore same-sex attraction (the idea of being overpowered/forced, but actually he likes it), so under the scenario where he's straight (haha), I don't think he'd be into this. This is also kinda where I fit the knifeplay aspect into in my head, like him getting off on the fact that he's being threatened and there's a dude on him doing the threatening.
Impact play: Spanking/being spanked, etc. I mean, I think they both do some ass smacking but I think he'd get invested in the act and its effects on a different level.

...anyway, those are the ones that have been swirling on my mind. There are other ones I think they each or both wouldn't mind trying out or having done to them but aren't necessarily into... or behavior that they enjoy but which I wouldn't say count as kinks...

And in the case of hard nos, among maybe the more garden variety kinks, I don't think Miguel is at all interested in being tied up/cuffed or blindfolded.

I am apparently incapable of doing these posts at month's end, but here's a round-up of things I've read since my last books read post.

Recently Finished:
Cinema Love, Jiaming Tang. 1980s China and 2020s NYC (specifically pandemic times), with multiple POVs. The book centers around gay men from rural China and the women who loved and hated and protected them. Not an easy read, but compelling. This one also hit weirdly because I live near one of the neighborhoods featured in the book. The pandemic times scenes were spot-on, but it's also a little disorienting to read about a specific time and place you know pretty intimately but from the perspective of someone else who also clearly knows the time and place pretty intimately!

Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart and Other Stories, Gennarose Nethercott. Solidly mid short story collection. I really liked "The Thread Boy" and "Drowning Lessons," but most of the others stories left me either feeling meh or completely baffled about what I was supposed to get from them. At least two just stopped in a way that I think was supposed to be ~edgy or ~shocking, but came across as unfinished thoughts.

Catfish Rolling, Clara Kumagai. First five-star read of the year. Loved the magical realism, loved the timey-wimey-ness, loved the science fiction elements and the family dynamics and the late teens/early twenties protagonists. Highly recommend this one, and definitely going to keep an eye out for more from Kumagai.

What You Are Looking For Is In the Library, Michiko Aoyama (translated by Alison Watts). I wanted to like this book. It does some fun magic-of-books-and-libraries things, and I liked how each of the vignettes connected to each other. But the prominent fatphobia from all of the POV characters (the Librarian is described as grotesquely overweight) was extremely uncomfortable and a major turnoff.

In Memoriam, Alice Winn. I absolutely consumed all 380 pages of this book in two days. It would have been one day except I had prior engagements already scheduled that I could not skip. My second five-star read of the year. I could not put it down. I'm still thinking about it a full month later. It immediately went on the to-buy list.

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century, Timothy Snyder. All I can really say about this is oof.

The Clothing of Books, Jhumpa Lahiri. A meditation/essay on book covers and how they are and aren't a reflection of the author's vision of their book. I liked the insight into the lack of control traditionally published authors have over the cover designs of their books and how that can be distancing for the author (or for Lahiri, at least; I think she'd be the first to admit that her feelings on this aren't universal).

Daughter of the Moon Goddess, Sue Lynn Tan. This was a fun adventure story after some much heavier reads. This was my beach vacation read, and I had a good time. I think the love triangle would be more interesting if it were queer, but it's the B- or C-plot, so whatever. Looking forward to the sequel once my library hold comes in.

Godzilla and Godzilla Raids Again, Shigeru Kayama (translated by Jeffrey Angles). The novelizations of the first two movies, by the screenwriter! They mostly follow the films, but there are a few major changes, especially in the first (like shifting characters' ages to minimize the romantic subplot). I appreciated the translator's historical context notes at the end. I can't imagine a Hollywood blockbuster going from concept to wide release in just six months!
