pensnest: Scarlet gift box with gold ribbon (Christmas box)
[personal profile] pensnest
Beast is out this morning for a Leads rehearsal.

So I took myself up the road for breakfast—an excellent bacon sandwich with coffee and orange juice. I am not sure why the bacon sandwich is accompanied by a pot of Doritos, but they are appreciated.

Along the road is a two-storey inflatable Father Christmas. Made me smile.

A double decker came down the road as I walked up it. Instead of the usual bus number and destination, the LED display on the front read Merry Christmas from [Bus company], with a snowman. This made me grin. No idea what manner of bus it was, as the usual ones that come down this road are single deckers.

And after breakfast, when I had wandered into Aldi for some mange touts and some chocolate to augment my nephew's Christmas gift, I found a Biggles omnibus on the charity table. So I now own four Biggles books in one giant volume. I first encountered Biggles when visiting my Nana as a child: for some reason she owned Spitfire Parade, a collection which may for all I know have been short stories*. After that I was hooked and acquired many more, though I gave them away long ago. Still. Biggles! To read! Possibly. When I have finished my Yuletide story.

* Edit: it was!

CLAIMED - PH #81: Hallo itt Mátyás király! - Bogáti Péter, Mátyás a sosem volt királyfi (TV 2006), Mátyás király | Matthias Rex - Kubinyi András
Request 1 by redgear
Hallo itt Mátyás király! - Bogáti Péter
Characters: Hollós Gyula (Hallo itt Mátyás király)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Do Not Want:
- Permanent death of requested characters (Temporary character death like undeath, time loops, time travel, immortality, etc is welcome, as is death in a bad end of cyoa/interactive fiction that isn't implied to be the true end)
- Setting Change AU (everyone has always been baristas, omegaverse, modern AU, etc)
- Unrequested gender identity hcs, neurodivergent hcs, or genderswaps
- Characters going to therapy, anachronistic therapyspeak
- Completely bad/unhappy/hopeless ending (hopeful/bittersweet is welcome)
- Ageplay (time travel to younger self is fine, amnesia is fine)
- Kink negotiations, safewords, color checks.
- Heroic portrayal of Ladislaus the Posthumous or Ulrich of Celje; also, either of those two shipped with anyone
- AUs where a Hunyadi explicitly does not/will not ever become king (any Hunyadi is fine, and works set before such a thing might happen are also fine)
- Time travel being just a game. (Works set entirely before any time travel occurs are fine!)
---
I love everything about Gyula - I'd love to hear the story of where and how he learned any of the things he knows, including whatever digs he was on with Károly where he learned so much about the Iazyges! I'm also obsessed by how much he wants to just get shit done and how dedicated he is to changing things, even when Károly and the Professor try to talk him down, even when all the rest of them accept life as it is, he just never gives up. I'd love him to be narratively allowed to do the industrial revolution he dreams of :3 Maybe they all (or Gyula alone) time travels to earlier in history, when Mátyás was less constrained by war and necessity and had more time to deal with them? Of course Gyula alone would have difficulties of his own, since he's not exactly a historian, but he'd put his head down and get on with it I'm sure :D
I will happily ship Gyula with anyone and everyone, including OCs <3

Mátyás a sosem volt királyfi (TV 2006)
Characters: Hunyadi László (Mátyás a sosem volt királyfi)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Do Not Want:
- Permanent death of requested characters (Temporary character death like undeath, time loops, time travel, immortality, etc is welcome, as is death in a bad end of cyoa/interactive fiction that isn't implied to be the true end)

- AUs where a Hunyadi explicitly does not/will not ever become king (any Hunyadi is fine, and works set before such a thing might happen are also fine)
- Mátyás or Erzsébet death
--- 
I love this version of László - how his grief turns to anger turns to menace so fast when he's dealing with Ulrich and Ladislaus, how passionate he is with Maria, and how sweet he is with Matthias, coaxing him on that of course he'll find some girl who likes him someday :D He contains multitudes! I completely adore how he's so capable, and yet there's still that streak of impulsive overconfidence and that trust that leads him to disaster.
I'd love anything more about him - precanon fic with his parents? More about his relationship with Maria, or his relationship with Matthias? Or AU where he doesn't die (permanently) is also very welcome! Maybe he's imprisoned or banished (I always love a gay-marriage-disinheritance-AU)? I also love ghosts and other supernatural ways for people to not perma-die, as well as time travel! If you're continuing past the point where he dies, feel free to either follow the continuity of the series or go as divergent-AU as you'd like.
I will happily ship László with anyone except King Ladislaus or Ulrich and gen is of course always welcome.
I'm also very fond of the messenger that comes to tell Erzsébet that Ulrich is dead, that poor guy lol. I'd love to know more about him if you'd like to include him. Maybe he was with János and László for a long time? :D

Mátyás király | Matthias Rex - Kubinyi András
Characters: I. Mátyás magyar király | Matthias I of Hungary (Matthias Rex - Kubinyi)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Do Not Want:
- Permanent death of requested characters (Temporary character death like undeath, time loops, time travel, immortality, etc is welcome, as is death in a bad end of cyoa/interactive fiction that isn't implied to be the true end)

- Time travel being just a game. (Works set entirely before any time travel occurs are fine!)
- Romantic love between Matthias and Beatrice (a political marriage is very welcome, I adore scheming and political maneuvering on both sides!)
---
There are so many just narratively fascinating stories in this bio that I'd love fic about! Tell me more about Matthias doing his own army's recon, getting captured, and talking himself out of it by pretending to be a local groom! Or what it was like for those months trapped alone in Prague after Ladislaus died, not knowing what was going to happen to him. Or struggling with Mihály for control of the government, or deciding he couldn't risk war with the Ottomans and had to imprison Vlad, or finding out just in time about any of the plots against him... I love terrible things happening to him and him coming back from them stronger, colder, more resilient <3
I'm also very interested though in more slice of life stuff: tell me about a day in the life of the roman military history nerd, the renaissance art superfan, the soldier, the diplomat, the propagandist, the guy who fell in love at first sight at a dance. I am really into the speculations Kubinyi makes about his personality/motivations throughout all these!
And I always love time travel, any variety of it, from historical characters going to the future, people from the future coming back, or people time traveling back to their younger selves.
I'll ship Matthias with anyone who isn't DNWed; ocs are welcome in ship as well as gen fic.r a long time? :D

No letter

Request 2 by misspamela
Astreiant Series - Melissa Scott & Lisa A. Barnett
Characters: Nicolas Rathe, Philip Eslingen
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I love themmmmmm, I would love casefic that also includes their relationship, POV from either Philip or Nico as they are getting together, explicit fic from after they've gotten together, any exploration of their feelings that we only get a glimpse of in canon.
 
Likes: Canon compliant for these particular fandoms, mutual pining, character studies, pining while fucking, banter, exploration of magic systems getting together, angst with a happy ending.
Dislikes: Humiliation, scat, watersports, unresolved pining, unhappy endings, major character death. Normally I like AUs but I would really prefer canon for all these prompts.

Characters: Hunch Curio (Campaign 17: Mentopolis), The Fix (Campaign 17: Mentopolis)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Mentopolis was one of my all time favorite seasons of D20! I loved how the worldbuilding wove all the brain structures in there with the mystery, and I loved the glimpses of what happens in the outside world as the characters react.

CLAIMED - PH #83: The Southern Reach Trilogy - Jeff Vandermeer, Blackwell Series (Video Games), The Sopranos (TV), Twin Peaks (TV 1990)
This pinch hit has now been claimed, but you are welcome to write a treat!

Request 1 by XenomorphLiebe
The Southern Reach Trilogy - Jeff Vandermeer
Characters: Control | John Rodriguez, Whitby Allen
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I would love a fic about Control and Whitby (see my letter for more details). Their relationship is so ??? I love how Control is all "what a weirdo" at Whitby while literally insisting everyone call him "Control." They have a weird affinity for each other: Whitby wanted to show the mural to Control on his first day (why?), and Control is too empathetic to not feel something akin to pity for Whitby, even as he's totally creeped out by Whitby's ~*~everything~*~
Prompts:
- AU where John fails to escape Area X in time when it expands in Authority.
- Retelling of Authority (maybe *that* scene) from Whitby's perspective.
- Somehow, bunny!John survives and stumbles across Whitby. This would be great for exploring the post-series world and the perspective of humans that have turned into animals.
I accept treats.

Blackwell Series (Video Games)
Characters: Joey Mallone, Rosangela Blackwell
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

The Blackwell Epiphany has the honour of being the only video game that has ever made me cry. I love everything about Blackwell: the art, the humour, the character writing, the clever puzzles, the voice acting. And the core of it all is Joey and Rosa's relationship. They're literally stuck with each other, but you can feel the devotion and care and familiarity that they share. My heart is so full of love for them. I don't really ship them, but I don't have strong feelings either way.
I don't have any specific prompts for Blackwell, but I'd love to see a case fic set some time between Legacy and Epiphany. Or, a day in the life of Rosa and Joey would be great. I've played all the WadgetEye releases in the same universe (The Shivah, Unavowed, Old Skies), so a crossover between any of these and Blackwell would be very appreciated.
I accept treats.

The Sopranos (TV)
Characters: Tony Soprano, Christopher Moltisanti
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I don't know where to start. I am obsessed with Chris and Tony's relationship. I have written thousands upon thousands of words in my notes app about these two. They are the absolute fucking worst. I can't stop posting about them (see my letter for links). I have so many thoughts, I could write a book about Chris and Tony.
First off, I absolutely ship Chris/Tony, so any Chris/Tony fic is very, very welcome. But I'd love literally anything about their fucked up relationship, especially pre-series fic. There is so much love there, but it's a possessive, insecure love, which in C. S. Lewis's terms, transforms into a "natural hate." Tony cannot stand the idea of Chris leaving him, and he'd rather see Chris dead than gone from him. It takes the slightest thing for Tony to feel rejected, and then he lashes out. And Chris is so... he's so desperate for Tony's love, even at his own expense. And he's so insecure in his relationship with Tony. Even at the start of the series, he's quick to believe that Tony wants him dead. They are both so psycho about each other, and I need a fic about them stat.
I'm totally here for series typical realism, but I'd love to see crazy, out there mash-ups (Arthurian/fairytale retellings, anyone?) and supernatural stories (in the vein of Macbeth, for instance). Spooky Sopranos is best Sopranos.
I accept treats.

Request 4 by XenomorphLiebe
Twin Peaks (TV 1990)
Characters: Dale Cooper (Twin Peaks), Albert Rosenfield
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Twin Peaks is a strange, magical series that can be best labelled "cozy horror." I'm pretty certain that this year will be the last that it qualifies for Yuletide, so I thought it best to request it. Twin Peaks is a series I love for its gorgeous Pacific North West setting, for its horror elements, for the mystery angle, and for its complex characters, such as Audrey, Laura, and Albert.
I love Albert. I love how clear-sighted Albert is about the Laura's death, and I love his speech about pacifism. I like how Albert provides the "bitter" to Cooper's "sweet." Despite their differences, Cooper and Albert's relationship is built on an obvious mutual respect. I do ship Dale/Albert, but I'd be happy with a story about their platonic relationship.
I don't have specific prompts, but I'd love any kind of case fic featuring these two (pre-series, or maybe post-series with possessed!Coop). I also welcome crossovers with this fandom, especially crossovers with my other requested fandoms. (I will give my firstborn child to whoever writes a Blackwell-verse and Twin Peaks crossover). Or, some kind of fairytale retelling featuring these two (I'm thinking Tam Lin---instead of the Faerie Queen, Albert must face BOB to rescue Dale).
I accept treats.

绅探 | Detective L (TV)
Characters: Luo Fei (Detective L), Huo Wensi
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

General DNWs: permanent death of requested characters; partner betrayal; unrequested pairings for requested characters; humiliation; noncon; woobification; mundane/modern AUs and other unrequested changes to the canon setting or premise; unrequited pining; fake dating; soulmates (except in the zhiji sense); omegaverse; mpreg; immortals becoming mortal/nonhuman characters becoming human; unmitigated fluff where all the characters' problems don't exist; permanent separation of requested ships; unhappy endings; first or second person narration (except for unusual media such as in-universe documents).
Fandom-specific DNWs: submissive or exclusive bottom Huo Wensi; unrequited romantic and/or sexual interest between Luo Fei and Huo Wensi.
Canon link: Youtube
Request details/Prompts:
I adore Luo Fei - he's quick and smart; he's sometimes sweet, sometimes abrasive; he can be a total mess (particularly regarding Captain). And Huo Wensi's calm cleverness and amused reaction to Luo Fei intrigued me from the start, but what particularly hit me was seeing him being beaten up in a prison courtyard while the look on his face said he was exactly where he'd planned to be. Together, the two of them absolutely fascinate me.
Dr Huo brings out very intriguing reactions in Luo Fei. Luo Fei is prickly and rude towards him without apparent reason, right from the start. He distances himself during their interactions, standing or sitting off to the side, looking away, or walking right out. He claims not to believe in psychology, but at the same time repeatedly puts considerable stock in Dr Huo's professional opinion, even after Dr Huo is in prison. Luo Fei wants nothing to do with Dr Huo - but doesn't turn him down when Dr Huo asks him to help him court Xiaoman. And when Luo Fei desperately wants someone to confirm his theory that Captain is faking, he appeals to Dr Huo. Their dynamic doesn't change even after Dr Huo is arrested. I'm very into the tangle of intense emotion/frustration/(dis)trust/obsession/intellectual appreciation between them, love and desire included if you want, and I'd love anything that plays on it or explores where it's coming from, whether it's slash or gen. Anything that involves them having lots of tension, and/or resolving that tension - and regardless of how it goes, some genuine connection - would be great. Plot or PWP or character exploration, it's all good!
Some ideas: A missing case or a moment from one where they're are forced to work more closely together? I also love the parallels between them, right down to them solving cases from the same clues, and would love something that leaned into that. Or what's Dr Huo's take on Luo Fei's behaviour towards him, as a psychologist? Do they have backstory that explains Luo Fei's attitude? Were they lovers once? A bad breakup could explain a lot! How about a missing scene where they have a relapse? Maybe Dr Huo manipulates Luo Fei into it, or maybe he's carried away himself. (Maybe both.) Or something about Dr Huo's role as a psychologist, in a case that has nothing to do with his extracurricular affairs. I'd also love to see them dancing - literally or metaphorically.
At the end of the show, Luo Fei is certain he has outwitted Dr Huo. Has Dr Huo lost control of his own plan? When he detonates the bombs, is he choosing suicide as his only way out? (Does he survive despite that?) Or is Dr Huo that good an actor, and it's still all going according to plan? He has previously demonstrated a willingness to get himself arrested and beaten up in order to achieve his purposes, after all. And if Captain was faking all this time - what if they end up working together against the real Captain after the bridge, despite everything? Or what about an alternate ending where things go differently after Dr Huo's escape from prison? Or some post-canon cat-and-mouse push-and-pull between them would be fantastic. Something twisty and evil on Dr Huo's part that's directed at Luo Fei is also welcome, so long as it doesn't end entirely unhappily for either character. Likewise, redemption for Dr Huo would be great, but them remaining on opposite sides is also good, so long as there's some genuine mutual connection there.
Also, in most of their scenes, Qin Xiaoman is stuck right in the middle of it all, talking to Dr Huo when Luo Fei won't, and being almost-courted by Dr Huo. She trusts his good intentions, for the most part, but doesn't always accept his conclusions. I'd love to see her perspective, or how her inclusion might affect any of the scenarios Luo Fei and Huo Wensi might find themselves in.

Fandom-specific DNWs: Kashtiliash and Kathryn breaking up.
Request details/Prompts:
Ever since I discovered these books back in 2010, I've been fascinated with the culture clash in the trilogy - between people from the present and people from the Bronze age (historical or original), and later also between second-generation Nantucketers and everyone else. But what especially caught my imagination was the experience of the "downtimers" whose world and culture are changing right around them, and who are adapting to this new world.
Kashtiliash, as an actual historical figure whose history is radically changed by the arrival of people from the future, is right at the heart of it all - and as prince and then king, he's one of the people in a position to shape these changes. Raupasha is propelled into the centre of events in a different way when the changed history puts her in position to make a significant difference for her own life, for her people, and for Kashtiliash, whose enemy Tukulti-Ninurta she kills and whose father she saves. I would love a story that has these two interacting!
Kashtiliash is smart and adaptable and open to the new, but never to the point of forgetting the realities of the situation - the problems caused by the changes as much as the good. He sees the inevitability of change, and he's quick to adapt where necessary, but he's also very aware of the imbalance of power between his people and the Nantukhtar, and determined not to let them take too much control from him. I'd love to see more of him navigating all this. For Raupasha and her people, on the other hand, the Nantukhtar and Kenneth Hollard in particular are saviours, opening up an entire world of possibilities as she learns to navigate both the political situation and the strange context of conflicting cultures she finds herself in. Between her feelings for Kenneth and her drive to improve her people's situation, her missteps and successes, she grows into someone capable of having significant impact on the future of their world. I would love to see more of her growth.
Both Kashtiliash and Raupasha end up in a relationship with someone from Nantucket, and with siblings at that. I'd love to see anything about the culture clash in those relationships, perhaps a time when their different cultural context puts extreme strains on them. Or perhaps they find support in each other for the kinds of things that neither can truly talk about to outsiders? Anything that involves these two dealing with the balancing act between old and new would be great.
I'd also love something about Kashtiliash's views on women changing, not just through Kathryn Hollard in particular and the Nantukhtar in general, but also through Raupasha. Or something about politics regarding Mitanni, and Raupasha taking an active role in the planning. What if she had become queen of Mitanni after all? Or what happens to the alliance between Babylon and Nantucket once there's no longer a clear common enemy? What if Babylon's relationship with Nantucket becomes soured at some point? Or would post-series Raupasha, even if she can't be queen, really turn her back on her people and leave? What could she do instead? What if her ideas don't fit with Kenneth's? Or what if Kashtiliash has plans for her that don't agree with Kenneth's - how would Raupasha handle being caught in the middle?
Or for something more experimental, maybe a history written in the future of this 'verse, examining Kashtiliash's and Raupasha's roles and impact?

Ring of Swords - Eleanor Arnason
Characters: Ettin Gwarha, Sanders Nicholas
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

General DNWs: permanent death of requested characters; partner betrayal; unrequested pairings for requested characters (except for Nicky with other hwarhath); humiliation; noncon; woobification; mundane/modern AUs and other unrequested changes to the canon setting or premise; unrequited pining; fake dating; soulmates (except in the zhiji sense); omegaverse; mpreg; immortals becoming mortal/nonhuman characters becoming human; unmitigated fluff where all the characters' problems don't exist; permanent separation of requested ships; unhappy endings; first or second person narration (except for imitating the canon voice with Nicky's diary, or for unusual media such as other in-universe documents).
Request details/Prompts:
When I discovered this book in December 2011, it completely swept me away. I love so many things about it, from the clashing gender dynamics to the canonical m/m, from the truly alien hwarhath culture to the possibly-but-probably-not intelligent alien sea creatures Anna studies, from the Shakespeare (Mats's version of Macbeth!) to Nicky's journal and Gwarha's glosses. Most of all I'm fascinated with the culture clash between the humans and the hwarhath, and in particular Nicky's history among them, from being captured 20 years ago to the end of the book and beyond, and how much of it is bound up with Gwarha in particular. So I'm requesting Sanders Nicholas (to use the hwarhath name order), and Ettin Gwarha, and would love any story that gives me these two at any point during their timeline.
Nicky is particularly dear to my heart. He's one of those characters with a rare lack of ego. I often say that my preference is for the control freaks, but that's only because the other type of character I love every bit as much is so vanishingly rare. That's the kind of person whose main trait is adaptability and lack of pridefulness - the kind who can give in, mould themselves around circumstances, pragmatically do whatever needs to be done without letting pride get in the way, but also without being diminished by it or losing their grounding within themselves. Nicky the liar, who twists himself around circumstances and always, always tries to find the right angle, can be every bit as subtle and scheming as other Machiavellian characters I've loved, and he has sarcasm to spare, but if he were a control freak he'd never have survived. And I adore that Gwarha, despite his cultural conditioning and almost despite himself, has come to love and appreciate the twistier traits in Nicky.
I would adore a story that showed some part of how these two arrived at that point, or during the book, or where they go after. Anything about their history together - from Gwarha watching Nicky being tortured, and being the one to tell Nicky it's over, to their established relationship at the beginning of the book, during the events we see, and after. How did they go from first encountering each other under those circumstances to becoming lovers? How did their relationship develop? How does Nick learn to navigate the gender-segregated hwarhath society? (Gwarha POV on this might be cool.) Or a slice-of-life story somewhere during the pre-book or post-book years together? Nicky's first encounter with Gwarha's aunts? Or anything about the two of them learning to understand each other, and each other's background, better. Or more about the inherent inequalities in their relationship, and how they navigate those in public vs. in private. Or something during the negotiations shown in the book? And I'm very curious about their first meeting after Nicky returns to Gwarha toward the end of the book, which the book tragically skipped. I always wanted to see that scene! Where do they go from there? Or more from Nicky's journal, with Gwarha commenting on it? Just something about those two, please. :)
(Also, I'm generally not fond of alien species whose entire civilisation is organised according to cultural clichés of violence as a masculine trait, but I like how the book deconstructs it for the hwarhath at least inside the masculine sphere, and would definitely be interested if you wanted to include some deconstruction for the female sphere as well, so far as that's possible in a story focusing on male characters.)
For more of my general thoughts on the book, this excellent article is spot on in my opinion.

Starfire Series - Various Authors
Characters: Zhaarnak'diaano | Zhaarnak'telmasa, Raymond Prescott
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

General DNWs: permanent death of requested characters; partner betrayal; unrequested pairings for requested characters; humiliation; noncon; woobification; mundane/modern AUs and other unrequested changes to the canon setting or premise; unrequited pining; fake dating; soulmates (except in the zhiji sense); omegaverse; mpreg; immortals becoming mortal/nonhuman characters becoming human; unmitigated fluff where all the characters' problems don't exist; permanent separation of requested ships; unhappy endings; first or second person narration (except for unusual media such as in-universe documents).
Request details/Prompts:
I love space battles and military SF, but in the Starfire 'verse I'm most fascinated by the relationship between Terrans and Orions in general (the whole enemies-turned-allies aspect is right up my alley), and between Zhaarnak'telmasa (or Zhaarnak'diaano, early on) and Raymond Prescott in particular. (I really love Crusade, In Death Ground and The Shiva Option, but I'm not that fond of the later Starfire books, and I'd appreciate it if we could set them aside. Since I'm only requesting characters from IDG/TSO, that shouldn't be a problem.)
I love unlikely pairs like Zhaarnak and Prescott, and I love the way their interactions develop, from their early uneasy cooperation to the vilkshatha brothers whose closeness is palpable on the page. I love the way they balance and mirror each other - even in an inherently hierarchical context, they constantly switch roles and manage to make a rotating command structure work for them. And the same in other respects - for example, it's generally Zhaarnak who pushes both of them to rush into danger, with Prescott the voice of caution, except when Prescott starts to push, and then Zhaarnak starts playing the voice of caution. I couldn't say which of them I loved more right from the start - Zhaarnak the prideful bigot who overcomes his bigotry because he doesn't let his prejudices blind him to what's happening right in front of his face, or Prescott the lover of Orion culture who can, without any resentment, decide to accept Zhaarnak's command because it's the most practical thing to do. (Prescott actually exemplifies one of my favourite character types - I generally say that my preference is for the control freaks, but that's only because the other type of character I love every bit as much is so vanishingly rare. That's the kind of person whose main trait is adaptability and lack of pridefulness - the kind who can mould themselves around circumstances, do whatever needs to be done without letting pride get in the way, but also without being diminished by it or losing their grounding within themselves.)
Anything with these two interacting would make me happy. A missing scene from any point in their relationship, futurefic, or a canon divergence AU; gen or slash - it's all good. A few ideas: What is it like, early on, for Prescott to serve under Zhaarnak? Does he ever doubt his decision? And Zhaarnak himself finds out about what Prescott did just before the Bugs attack, but we never get to see the scene where he tells Prescott he knows. How does it go? Or during their years of joint fleet command in Zephrain, how do they make their rotating command structure work? What happens the first time they actually disagree? I'd particularly love to see this while Zhaarnak is in command. Outsider POV on this might be cool - someone expecting a clash of the titans, and not getting it? (Honestly, I'd be here for outsider POV on every aspect of their relationship, and how unusual it is and how obviously it works even when it really shouldn't.) Or the aftermath of Operation Pesthouse - when did Zhaarnak find out about it? How did their first meeting afterwards go? Some h/c might be in order. Or something set post-TSO - what do they do after the war? How do they manage to keep in touch, once they're no longer working closely together? Something about Prescott meeting (and perhaps fitting into) Zhaarnak's family would be delightful. (Is Zhaarnak married? How does his wife or other family react to his changed opinions about Terrans? What about Zhaarnak's father, who we know is a bigot?) So would be anything that delves deeper into Orion culture, and what it means for Prescott to actually become part of it with the vilkshatha oath. When Zhaarnak'diaano becomes Zhaarnak'telmasa, he's establishing a new clan, and Prescott is part of it. What role does he play for other clan members? Or how about an AU - what would have happened if they'd met for the first time under different circumstances? What if they'd met as enemies? Seriously, anything!

Fandom-specific DNWs: submissive Li Yunzhen; Li Yunzhen not enjoying dominating her partner.
Canon link: combined video
(Note: The English subs misspell some of the character names - the princess is 李云贞 Li Yunzhen, not -zheng, and the emperor is 李承临 Li Chenglin, not -ling.)
Request details/Prompts:
This mini-drama crams so much into its short runtime - enough for a full-length drama with all the spy shenanigans (trust, loyalty, betrayal!), the political intrigue and the insanely charged interactions between Li Yunzhen and Gu Xuanqing, the slow development of their relationship. It's an absolute delight. And the condensed format means that everything is distilled down to its most crucial and dramatic moments, which leaves a great deal of space for fic - both expanding on the drama itself, and what might happen afterwards.
Li Yunzhen is brilliant and scheming and kinky, and deceives everyone - I love the complex plan she devises, with everything hinging on her own ability to play her part, and she never falters, pulling it off perfectly all on her own even while falling for the man sent to spy on her. I love how even her own servants never suspect what she's really up to, much less her enemies. And I love Gu Xuanqing gradually realising the princess's public image and her character as he gets to know her don't add up, falling for her while seeing through part of her façade but not nearly all. I love his dedication and loyalty to his duty/the Emperor (he never considers betraying his mission, even while deceiving Li Yunzhen is increasingly weighing on him), but more and more also to the princess (even believing her to be corrupt, he still chooses to return to her and put himself into her hands), and the conflict between those sides, tension and divided loyalties and all. I love the dynamics between them and how they develop, the unapologetic kinkiness of it all. Li Yunzhen so clearly enjoys herself playing/being the dominant seducer - and Gu Xuanqing is entirely unprepared for finding himself actually into it, and wanting to hand himself over to her for real. And the only way he can balance things, at one point, is to keep deceiving her while accepting whatever punishment she hands out ...!
Seriously, I want more of anything and everything - the romance, the BDSM, the spy shenanigans, the loyalty kink, the political intrigue. :D
Some ideas: moments in between the scenes, adding more build-up to the tension or lingering on the fallout of events? Li Yunzhen's thoughts and feelings as she incorporates Gu Xuanqing into her plans, perhaps changing plans as she gets to know him and starts falling for him/trusting him? More of Gu Xuanqing's dilemma, and how he deals with discovering he wants to hand himself over to this apparently corrupt princess? How does she feel about that? All the loyalty issues, questions of trust, punishment tropes, that sort of thing - lean into this stuff and I will be very happy! Or if you'd like to incorporate backstory, maybe something with flashbacks to how Li Yunzhen came up with her plan, how she pulled it all off and built her reputation? Maybe post-canon, she tells Gu Xuanqing about it all? I'm also curious about her and her harem of bodyguards - what has she been doing with them? How did she gain her sexual confidence? What does Gu Xuanqing think about all of that? How do things change after the two of them get together - do they change? I'd also love anything about Li Yunzhen enjoying herself dominating Gu Xuanqing, or maybe her discovering just how much Gu Xuanqing is into it. Porn would be very welcome here. But non-sexual kink would be just as delightful! Or anything these two get up to together, in and out of bed. Post-canon, what do they do long-term? Li Yunzhen says she'll withdraw from court, but I can't imagine her being into a life of leisure, and I'd love to see any scheming she could do for her brother, and what part Gu Xuanqing might play in that.

Fandom-specific DNWs: submissive or exclusive bottom Time Engraver.
Canon links: 2019 commercial | 2020 commercial
Request details/Prompts:
I love these commercials. Despite also being a vehicle for an "O NOES NOT THE WRINKLES" product, they're fantastic little mini-films. Back when the first commercial came out in 2019, I immediately fell in love with the character and concept of the Time Engraver> - the mythology, the way he chats at and about his subjects, the way he relates to the world. All the worldbuilding possibilities of what can be done with a concept like that, and a character who could exist anywhere, interact with anyone.
I'd love anything about the Time Engraver and his world, about the people he encounters, about him actually interacting with the world. Something plotty or introspective or romantic, more mythic or more grounded - gen, het, slash, anything would be great. There's fascinating worldbuilding to play with and expand on: Who/what is the Time Engraver? Is he an anthropomorphic personification of time? One of many aspects of such, each with their own workshop? Something else? Does he interact with other supernatural entities? What powers exactly does he have? Why does he present himself as a craftsman? He's talking at his subjects, but has he ever talked to humans directly? Does he sometimes venture out into the human world - can he? What if one of his subjects wakes up, or otherwise finds out about him? What happens if he develops an interest in a mortal? What if he falls in love?
I've always been fascinated by mortal/immortal relationships, romantic or otherwise, so I'd love to see some of that. Whether with someone who's leading an ordinary life, or someone who's already immersed in the non-mundane, either would be equally fascinating. And for something shippy, I would absolutely love the Time Engraver falling in love with a mortal, and vice versa. Tragedy is sort of baked into the concept of this kind of pairing, and I'm all here for a lot of angst, but would very much prefer a hopeful ending. Reincarnation tropes would be awesome for this - I'd love to see the Time Engraver waiting for his lover's reincarnation, or finding them again and again across time.
For relationships, it could be anyone the Time Engraver meets. From the commercials, I have a particular fondness for "Sunny", the woman in the second (2020) commercial who doesn't show emotions, and would love to see more of her, and the role of the Time Engraver in her life. What if she remembers him? He's had a huge effect on her; how does she feel about that? What if she seeks him out? What if she wakes up the next time the Time Engraver brings her into his workshop?
I'd also totally be here for a crossover with various characters played by Bai Yu, if that's of interest of you. (Luo Fei? Jiang Yang? The version from the Pizza Hut commercials? Zhao Yunlan, in a Guardian drama fusion where Shen Wei is the Time Engraver rather than the Black-Cloaked Envoy? I'd love any of these!)
For sex scenes, if applicable I prefer the Time Engraver topping or domming.
I preferred the first commercial's aesthetic, but find the white aesthetic in the second one intriguing. I'd also love an exploration of why his workshop looks so different - minimalist, and more like a museum - in the 2020 commercial. (Which one is earlier in his timeline? I could see it going either way.) And if you'd like to subvert the "O NOES WRINKLES" aspect of the commercial somehow, that would be great too. :)

Fandom-specific DNWs: Simpson and his wife breaking up.
Canon links: 1632 | 1633 | In the Navy
Request details/Prompts:
Yes, I'm (once again) requesting two modern-place-thrown-into-the-past series. *g* But my request here is rather different from the one for the Nantucket trilogy. I'm less interested in the general uptime/downtime clash here, maybe because the 17th century is nowhere near as far from modern day as the Bronze age, and also because I don't feel the series always does so well with actual 17th century mentality.
Instead, there's another aspect that captured my interest. I dithered over this request for a while, because in 1632, John Chandler Simpson is not only an out-and-out villain, but a very unpleasant, all too real one, the kind that has only become less tolerable to me in fiction given real-life political developments over the last decade. But I'm still very much interested in what drew me in the first place, and the theme of even people who were truly awful growing and becoming better.
In the sequel, 1633, Simpson is given much more depth and gets excellent character development, and he becomes fascinating and compelling to me. I'm very interested in the idea of someone turning himself into a villain in the worst way by going all-out with a strict end-justifies-the-means strategy ... only to fail, and then to discover those means weren't actually necessary after all. And then to have to grapple with the awfulness of what he actually did. Now he's living with the consequences, and that's a theme that very much speaks to me. (He's also an introverted control freak, which is a character type I have always loved.) I also enjoy watching competent characters be competent, and unexpected competence is even better - which is possibly why I enjoy Simpson so much in David Weber's short story In the Navy. It also hits another of my buttons, characters defying expectation. (See also: Simpson as a sci-fi fan, which never fails to amuse me.) So I would love a story about Simpson that lets his positive qualities shine without diminishing his faults.
Some ideas: I very much appreciate Simpson's wife, Mary Simpson, who is cut from the same cloth as he and walked that path right into villainy with him in 1632, and like him, now has to deal with the aftermath, and finding a place for herself/themselves in their new circumstances. Their marriage nearly breaks under the strain of it - I'd love to see more about how they get past that. They're a great match, and I'd like to see them interact more - maybe plotting some bit of joint social/political manipulation? Mary helping him navigate society? Or the reconciliation with their son that we never actually got to see in the books. Anything about how to move forward after what they both did, how to do better, how to even begin to try and make up for it in any meaningful sense. I also enjoy Simpson's interactions with Eddie Cantrell very much, so more of that would be great. More Simpson mentoring a reluctant Eddie? Or something about the other people under his command, particularly the Germans, who obviously have every reason to hate his guts, to start with. Or just Simpson by himself, trying to come to terms with what he did, and learning to admit the awfulness of it to himself.

Explicit DNWs: ageplay, impact play, rape/noncon, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, transmasculine characters being vaginally penetrated, smut involving characters under 14
Prompts:
  1. A fic taking place during Soujirou's second year when he's at his father's training center and Hayato is figuring out what to do now that he's no longer at the Horse Riding School. Maybe they keep in touch and try to help each other out.

  2. Post-canon fic where Soujirou eventually figures out what Hayato meant by "I see why girls like you" and reciprocates.

  3. A more recovery-oriented fic about Hayato learning to love his body/seeing the good things that it can do for him (with Soujirou's help of course).

Treats welcome!

The Tarot Sequence - K.D. Edwards
Characters: Rune Saint John, Addam Saint Nicholas, Brand Saint John
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

General DNWs: pregnancy, on-screen character death, setting-change AUs
Explicit DNWs: ageplay, impact play, rape/noncon (references to Rune's backstory are fine), alpha/beta/omega dynamics, transmasculine characters being vaginally penetrated, smut involving characters under 14
Prompts:
  1. Rune and Addam get in the habit of making up from fights with sex. Then Rune and Brand get in a fight, and for a moment Rune forgets who he’s talking to

  2. We know that Rune and Brand both had crushes on Lord Tower -- what if this is a result of the companion bond causing confusion, and now Brand feels like he has feelings for Addam? How do they come to this realization, and does it matter to the three of them whether or not Brand's feelings for Addam are "true", or if they're part of the bond?

  3. Some exploration of Rune's feelings surrounding the prophecy of him being the most "beautiful" of his generation, and the way that might intersect with how he sees himself/his appearance, and how it might affect his boundaries with partners

Treats welcome!

I really enjoy dudes who are just awful little weasels. If they have some hidden depths and some surprising competencies, it just makes the weaseliness even better by contrast. So... ... ...that Ermenwyr, huh??? Alternatively, or in the context of an Ermenwyr-related fic if you like, I'd love more exploration of the strange world of this series.
Optional prompts at my letter!
General likes: Humor, friendship, adventure, worldbuilding, missing scenes, character study, interactions between characters who don't normally share a lot of page- or screentime, bittersweetness, hope in the face of adversity. Dirtbags, scoundrels, weasely little bastards, etc. Women menacing people with bladed weapons. Men getting menaced with bladed weapons. Angst, complicated family dynamics, body horror, deathfic.
DNWs: Explicit sexual content (implied or fade-to-black is fine), non-con, unrequested incest, unrequested adult/underage ships; mundane AUs for canons with supernatural elements; modern AUs for non-modern canons; pregnancy; non-canonical child characters; gender or sexual orientation as sources of angst/conflict; non-canonical death by suicide (canonical suicides or suicides-by-proxy are fine; ideation or attempts not resulting in death are fine); vomit, feces
Fandom-specific DNW exceptions: I'm fine with Ermenwyr's incestuous infatuation with Svnae as long as she doesn't reciprocate. Fine with the fact that he's had underage sex with adults, I just don't want to read anything about his sex life before the age of 15.

Sinners (2025)
Characters: Elijah "Smoke" Moore, Elias "Stack" Moore, Mary (Sinners 2025), Annie (Sinners 2025)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I've requested my four favorite characters, but I'm really open to basically anything for this fandom; pretty much the only thing I wouldn't want is something that focuses predominantly on any of the white characters (though I don't object to any of them showing up in the same capacity that they do in canon, I just don't want them to be central to the story). But otherwise I'm super flexible! Backstory -- Smoke and Stack growing up with Mary, or their time as soldiers or mobsters? Smoke and Annie's courtship? How Smoke and Stack befriended the Chows? Anything shippy, be it Smoke/Annie or Stack/Mary or twincest or femslash or all four of them together in some messy loving configuration--truly any combination of characters fucking would be grand. Future scenes from Stack and Mary's life between the end of the movie and the mid-credits scene! If you could think of a fun canon-divergent AU premise or even a wholecloth AU that preserves the relevant atmosphere of the canon setting (a tall order, but I'm intrigued by the prospect!), I'm down for it. I'm here for a canon-typical amount of fucked up content, anything explicit, light-hearted moments or heavier introspection -- wherever things lead you, I just want to live in this world for any additional amount of time I'm able.
[My major DNWs are needles (I have a huge phobia and would deeply rather no mention of them at all, but if it does come up, please please please keep it brief and be sure to clearly warn for me!) and significant involvement of serious issues beyond those explored in canon (e.g. racism, homophobia, character death, serious assault/injury, etc. etc.). Basically, let the tone of canon be your guide here -- canon-typical serious issues the characters have already experienced is totally fine, bringing more serious issues into a lighthearted canon would very much not be my jam.]

Rutherford Falls (TV)
Characters: Reagan Wells, Nathan Rutherford
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

This is a classic "I want more" canon for me, a show that I'm thrilled we got as much of as we did but that was cancelled way too soon! I've only nominated Nathan and Reagan because they're the heart of the story for me and I do love them best, but I'd honestly be pretty happy with anything here. Give me backstory -- how did Nathan and Reagan first become friends? How did Nathan and Bobbie meet? How about Reagan and Ray's relationship and its breakdown? Give me missing scenes from canon -- explicit sex scenes! Nathan coming home after S1 and Reagan reconciling with and also hiding him! Epistolary Reagan/Josh! Give me WHAT HAPPENS NEXT -- what does Mayor Bobbie look like? Do Nathan and Deirdre work things out? How does the Reagan-Josh-Nelson situation shake out (I have to admit to preferring Josh, but I'm fine with her ending up with either of them! or both! or neither!)? Moments from the lives of any of the other main or minor characters! Canon-divergent AUs! Role reversal AUs -- what would Reagan Rutherford and Nathan Wells look like?? Really, I just want to spend at least a little more time in this universe than canon gave us.

Dirt Man - Carter Vail (Song)
Characters: Any
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

So much lore in such a short space! I welcome absolutely any direction you'd like to go here. Worldbuilding: who is the Dirt Man? Where did he come from (where did he go)? Is he a benevolent trickster or a horrifying abomination? How did this discrepancy in how well he's known come about? How long has he been around? What's the purpose of the dirt and what happens if he takes you down to his lair? The mood can be fairy-tale-y or horror-adjacent (I'd prefer nothing too explicitly horrifying, but am very much here for creepy vibes) or funny or sexy -- maybe being taken by the Dirt Man is a secret fantasy for some people! Feel free to involve some romance -- is the Dirt Man just a jilted ex about whom the guy in the video is making up a story to make him sound way worse than he is? Are the two in the video a couple and one has to rescue the other from the Dirt Man? Truly, there's SO many potential story avenues here and I welcome any combination of them.

Characters: Will Putnam
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I feel like we don't get nearly enough Will on this show -- I know a lot is going on, but he should be way more central! He grew up directly adjacent to Mabel! His dad's relative fame and regular shenanigans should really affect his life! So I would just really, really like more of him, in any capacity. Backstory! Missing scenes of his reactions to what's going on with canon! Any feelings whatsoever about learning that Teddy Dimas is his biological father, which I am desperate to see!! Any interaction with Mabel, which the show is truly crying out for!! Also, I didn't request him because I really predominantly want a focus on Will, but I'm also desperate for any interaction between him and Theo; they also grew up together and they're half brothers! What was their relationship like as kids? As adults? Again, I really just want to see more of a character that I think the show is massively underutilizing!

These two packed so much chemistry into such a short sketch, I am absolutely obsessed with this dynamic and I need more!!

What happens next -- give me the scene of their meet cute in more detail, or I absolutely welcome detailed sex! Future fic -- do they keep going after Guy 2 moves to LA? Does he change his mind?

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Okay, WHAT A FREAKING TREAT THIS ARTICLE WAS. I never saw the twist coming!! I am obsessed!! I desperately need to see that threesome actually happen. I'd love to see explicit sex, but would also be fine with seeing the emotional development. Had Ethan and/or Kevin been pining for a while, or did it all just suddenly kind of ... happen? Did they feel attracted to the journalist at first or is he the only one sensing the tension and making it happen? What happens afterward -- do Ethan and Kevin start dating (or does one of them start dating the journalist?!) and they try to pretend the feelings for the third person aren't there? Do they all just try to move on with their lives but can't stop thinking about it? I would just love elaboration on this totally wacky premise and I need a happy ending for these three one way or another!

Frauds (TV 2025)
Characters: Sam (Frauds TV), Bert (Frauds TV)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Happy to receive treats! My non-specific likes are in my letter; my DNWs are here:
I do not want to read: rape; animal abuse or death; illness or caretaking (see Frauds section for caveats); self-harm; kid!fic. I am okay with violence in service to the story; I am okay with canon-typical violence. I'm also not interested in complete AUs (ie, coffee-shop-type AUs). I do enjoy AUs where one thing in canon is changed and we explore the ramifications of it.
I’m not a big fan of the heteronormative assumption that there’s only one way to progress a relationship and anyone in a relationship must necessarily want co-habitation and homeownership and marriage and children. In fact, I’m really not interested in stories about child-rearing at all, though dealing with adult children established in canon can be interesting.
Canon-specific:
I am writing this having only watched the first three eps, sorry! I will add to my letter once I've finished the series but please, don't feel like you have to wait for that. If you have an idea you want to run with go for it. I would love a story about Bert and Sam together or either of them apart, as you wish.
I do NOT want to dwell too deeply on Bert's illness, please - the level we see in the first three eps is fine, but no, say, deep dives into Sam's feelings about it and her fears about how much sicker Bert will get, etc.
I do ship them and would love to read something on that line, but I also ADORE the fucked-up friendship as a friendship, so either is great. (The physicality of them, though... Bert tearing her shirt off, their fight in the pool... IJS, there's something there.)
I would love to read a story about Bert and her time in jail. I'd love to read about the times Sam wanted to visit Bert and didn't. A glorious heist before the one that got Bert caught? Their first big fuckup on a job? Fights they had and ways they made up? Or even something silly and domestic that's also about them showing off to each other. I am deeply a sucker for Kate Fleetwood so if there is a way to include Celine, that would be fun, but obvs no pressure.
I will watch the rest of the eps before reveal, so if you have a post-season story you want to write, go for it.

Whether in the past or after the film, whether just the two of them or with a bigger crew, whether they succeeded or failed. Just more of them, please, and a little crime. I would love them to be gay and do crime but I am fine if the gay is not there as long as the crime is. I am happy to read about other characters from the film as long as Debbie and Lou and their relationship are central.

Canon-specific:
I kind of just want something joyful for any or all of the characters? Please mix and match to your heart's content (including Jess, if you want). I would prefer at least two of them be included, because I really do love how they all build their brilliant tentative flourishing relationships. Somewhat to my surprise, I don't particularly ship any of them, but if you do I would LOVE to be persuaded, except not really by Kitty and Beth. (I do think Kitty deserves to be treated nicely by someone for once, though, redemptively - and I definitely read her as openly queer.)
I would prefer not to have a lot about any of the band's kids or parents. Also if you don't go the femslash route, I would prefer not to focus on a het relationship.
Have you got a subject you think they should write a song about? Tell me about them working on it - night in the pub sharing stories, trying to work out their next topic? How do the rest of them mine their trauma? Album listening party? Another gig - and/or another adrenaline-induced horniness emergency? Another recording session? I don't want something so fluffy it's unbelievable - I think part of the genius of Sally Wainwright is that she is so good at melding the dark and the light - but if we could end on a note of hope, that would be great.

CLAIMED - PH #76: Jaws (1975), One Tree Hill, The White Lotus (TV), Ready or Not (2019)
Request 1 by shortcrust
Jaws (1975)
Characters: Ellen Brody (Jaws 1975), Matt Hooper (Jaws 1975), Martin Brody (Jaws 1975)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I adore the idea of these three together, so I would love either something explicitly poly with a romantic Hooper/Brody/Ellen equilateral triangle, or otherwise whatever exploration of these characters interacting or coexisting that interests you! Perhaps after everything Hooper stays for a while, maybe while the authorities tidy up the legal side of everything, or while he's writing his next paper. Maybe they all get to coexist for a while. I love Ellen and am enamoured of making sure she isn't set aside, and would be interested to see how she deals with supporting her husband through the aftermath of this horrific experience but also how she deals with this other man who was there, who was funny and nice and brought her a bottle of wine, and who has now shared this with her husband in a way she can't imagine. I like to think they could all get through this together (and maybe fall in love about it).
 
I'd be delighted to receive a treat for this fandom (or any of my requests)!

One Tree Hill
Characters: Deb Scott, Antwon "Skills" Taylor
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

I watched One Tree Hill for the first time this year and was honestly struck by how lovely this relationship was; it starts as a joke, but we see their support and genuine care for one another. If I'm being wistful it honestly feels a little like, had circumstances been different, things might have turned out differently for them, too. I'd love something shippy but I'd really just love to read however you spin it; canon plays out alternatively happy-ending, an AU world where things go differently, or maybe things end as they do on the show but we get to sit in Skills' or Deb's head about it and follow them as they reflect on the relationship. I'd just love to see a spotlight on these two and what their relationship was, or could have been. I'm sorry, Nathan, but I liked it when your mother dated your friend! In fact, I thought it was cute! Deal with it!

The White Lotus (TV)
Characters: Mia (The White Lotus), Valentina (The White Lotus)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

These two had such an unexpectedly delightful storyline - I thought it was lovely how Mia, though still remaining cheeky and unserious about it, went to bed with Valentina fully intent on making it nice for her - and I've love anything featuring the two of them romantically. Maybe Valentine reflects on how this started transactionally but doesn't need to stay that way, and she has to unpack how she feels about that while also realising that liking someone didn't feel like she thought it would; maybe they become partners in crime, girlbossing the hotel while catching feelings; or maybe they start sleeping together and never really stop until they realise, wait, have we been dating this whole time? I am so glad that the only people who escaped the bad timeline this series was these two lesbians, and I want them to have a happy ending.

Ready or Not (2019)
Characters: Grace Le Domas (Ready or Not (2019)), Daniel Le Domas (Ready or Not (2019))
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I love these two in a romantic relationship, or as the only two people on earth who understand what each other went through and are going to buddy system each other into dealing with that. So either Daniel lives, or he's a ghost, or he still dies, and we have to sit with Grace as she deals with that and a love or kinship that she gained and lost during approx. 15 minutes of the worse day of her life.
It's just, like, imagine that you've been betrayed by the person you loved; who sold you a lie, the lie of a family; who even if he hadn't killed you was going to make a murderer out of you some day. And then imagine that you realise that you're not alone in thinking this is all severely, severely fucked up. Grace would imprint on that man like a baby duck, but also challenge how reductively he thinks about everything. Maybe they use their inherited millions and buy several large dogs and also lots of therapy.
I'd be delighted to receive a treat for this fandom (or any of my requests)!

17776 haunts my every waking moment. i LOVE it. the way that it tells you that even in the most desperate of circumstances, there is connection. that, even thousands of years after everything's been done, one of the biggest human activities is play. plus, i really like space probes and i love that they're humanized here! i love their distinct personalities and their friendship. and of course the horrible, awful isolation at the beginning - just a very fun angsty plot point. i love the worldbuilding and i love the characters and i would love to see absolutely anything you want to do with them or the world itself!! hooray!! i don't have specific prompts because i can't think of any, so just go for it, really :D

- AU where cooper can send messages back through the wormhole
- how did she get from her 'eureka' moment to actually making it work?!?!?

- i just love her so much i would love to see whatever you create for her!! her POV of canon scenes, her getting in fights at school, her relationship with her brother... truly endless possibilities...

CLAIMED - PH #78: Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses (2006), Mulan (Disney Animated Movies), 如懿传 | Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace (TV), Voyage of the Unicorn (2001), Kung Fu Panda (Movies), 延禧攻略 | Story of Yanxi Palace (TV)
Request 1 by Shadow_Logic
Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses (2006)
Characters: Genevieve (Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses), Derek (Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses), Worldbuilding (Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Want: Genevieve/Derek! Either pre-canon, explaining how Derek came to burn the midnight oil for her, or how things happened between their dance and the wedding. Canon divergences, like how things would have happened without Rowena's arrival or even without Queen Isabella's death, are also great.
If you decide to focus on the worldbuilding, I'd be interested in both the secret magical place (who created it? Is it some alternate universe Queen Isabella found? Did Queen Isabella create it? Why?) or in the fictional kingdom, it's politics. I'd even be happy for just a small slice of worldbuilding and for the main focus to be Genevieve/Derek. If you would rather focus on just the worldbuilding however, you can either focus very little or just omit any Genevieve/Derek.
Do Not Want: AU (but canon-divergences within their world are perfectly alright), infidelity, sad endings, animal abuse, substance abuse (moderate alcohol use OK). No polyamory. No angst, unless it has a happy ending. No killing Derek or Genevieve, canon deaths OK.

Mulan (Disney Animated Movies)
Characters: Li Shang (Disney), Fa Mulan | Hua Mulan (Disney)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Want: Mulan/Shang please! I'm especially interested in how their courtship progressed after the movie. I dislike the second movie's canon, so feel free to ignore it completely. Also welcome is an answer to the question 'when did Shang fall in love?': did he love Ping before he loved Mulan? Did he care for Ping and then find that feeling transformed when it came to Mulan? Canon-divergences are great too, more details in letter.
I also love history and historical accuracy for this period.
Do Not Want: No AUs (but canon-divergences within the movie's universe are great), infidelity, animal, abuse, substance abuse (reasonable alcohol use is OK). No rape, but canon and period-typical violence are acceptable. No sad endings, no angst unless it has a happy ending. No Shang having concubines after marrying Mulan. No polyamory. No killing Shang or Mulan. No super-modern, super accepting society.

如懿传 | Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace (TV)
Characters: Ulanara Ruyi | Step-Empress (Ruyi's Royal Love), Emperor Qianlong of Qing | Hongli (Ruyi's Royal Love), Ling Yunche, Keliyete Hailan | Consort Yu
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Want: I want better for Ruyi! The main prompt I have in mind is her somehow falling in love and being able to marry Li Yunche, and somehow still keeping Hailan as a friend. Prompt ideas in letter. For these three, I'd love as much sunshine, good luck and rainbows as Qing dinasty China can possibly provide. If you'd rather focus on Ruyi and Ling Yunche, or even just Ruyi, Hailan can be omitted.
I would also enjoy Hongli getting his just-desserts. Full-on marinating in remorse. If you'd rather focus on a fic of Hongli marinating in regret and longing after Ruyi's death, you may focus on him and omit Hailan and Ling Yunche. Please make him regretful, unhappy and sad.
Do Not Want: Modern AUs (canon-divergences or AUs happening within their time period are great), no polyamory for Ruyi or Ling Yunche, but anyone else can have concubines if you like. No Ruyi/Hailan, I prefer them as friends. No abuse unless it's psychological harm on Hongli's betraying ass, but I realize the need for some canon-typical violence, so it can happen (will elaborate in letter). No angst unless it has a happy ending - if you're making Hongli sad, however, angst and unhappy endings are wonderful. No happy endings involving Ruyi with Hongli. No animal abuse.

Voyage of the Unicorn (2001)
Characters: Sebastian (Voyage of the Unicorn (2001)), Miranda Aisling
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Want: Miranda/Sebastian! Either longing from Sebastian's point of view during the movie or post-movie where Sebastian, like Medusa, crosses over into the mortal world. More prompts in letter.
Do Not Want: No non-magical AUs, canon divergence is OK. No animal abuse, violence, rape, substance abuse (some alcohol use OK). No angst, unless it's angst with a happy ending. No polyamory. No making the Landscape of Imagination unreal or a dream. No canon character deaths except Miranda's mother, as her death is essential to the plot. No infidelity - unless it's against Miranda's abusive human boyfriend. No Miranda going to live in the Fairy Isle forever, visiting is OK.

Request 5 by Shadow_Logic
Kung Fu Panda (Movies)
Characters: Tai Lung, Tigress (Kung Fu Panda)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Want: I want more interactions between these two and I am so sad they got zero on the movie. To be honest, I'm a Tai Lung/Tigress shipper, so if by some miracle of the Yuletide gods you happen to swing that way I'll be happy, but just more interaction between the two would be awesome. If you don't feel Tai Lung, I'd be happy with more about Tigress' life, her being awesome post-canon, etc. Prompt ideas in letter
Do Not Want: rape/non-con, canon character death (canonically dead characters can stay dead, and you may kill anyone else ex. parents of Tai Lung or Tigress, etc), abuse. Canon-typical violence is OK. No AUs, but canon divergences happening within their universe is OK, just no modern day or turning-into-humans AUs. No super evil, unredeemed Tai Lung manipulating Tigress. No angst unless it has a happy ending.

延禧攻略 | Story of Yanxi Palace (TV)
Characters: Empress Wei of Qing | Yingluo, Fu Heng | Fuca Chunhe (Story of Yanxi Palace), Empress Fuca of Qing | Rongyin, Hitara Erqing
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Want: Yingluo/Fu Heng! Either more of their sweet love or even better, a canon-divergent story where they do end up together somehow. I would like it if Empress Fuca were happy along with them, with a side of Erqing being miserable, but if the Empress and Erqing don't fit, I will take just Yingluo and Fu Heng.
Do Not Want: rape/non-con, no infidelity, polyamory or Fu Heng taking any concubines, but I will agree to a story where Fu Heng manages to bring Yingluo home as his concubine post marriage, as long as Erqing gets booted. No abuse, though canon and period-typical violence is allowed if it isn't the focus of the story. No modern AUs, but canon divergences that happen within the time-period are OK. Further examples in letter.

CLAIMED - PH #79: Library of Alexandria RPF, Shadow of the Leviathan - Robert Jackson Bennett, Knives Out (Movies)
Request 1 by curtaincall
Library of Alexandria RPF
Characters: Zenodotus of Ephesus, Aristarchus of Samothrace
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

General likes: plotty stuff, humor, mystery, satire of corporate culture, epistolary/document-based stories, heists, riddles/puzzles, trains
General DNW: explicit sex (strong implications/suggestive content/sex jokes all fine), death of requested characters, rape/noncon, underage sex, extreme angst, in-depth discussion of sexual or gender identity, BDSM or other D/s, unrequested noncanon pairings for requested characters, detailed description of pregnancy, unrequested setting AUs
Fandom-specific notes:
So my entire basis for nominating/requesting this is that we were reading the Iliad and talking about the manuscript history and my professor said something along the lines of "Aristarchus always goes with the opposite of whatever Zenodotus does, he always picks the opposite reading." And that made me desperately curious about what Aristarchus might have thought of Zenodotus himself (since he has such a tendency to disagree violently with him), and what Zenodotus might have thought of Aristarchus' reactions to his work.
I know they weren't alive at the same time so I'd be perfectly happy with Aristarchus just thinking/talking about Zenodotus, but if you want to either change the timeline so that they could possibly meet or introduce some kind of time travel into the mix I would also enjoy that! (But please don't do a full modern AU.)
Some more prompts/ideas:
- daily life at the Library for either/both of them
- what drives their differing approaches to the text? (lectio facilior vs lectio difficilior, etc)
- a modern-day scholar, or a later librarian, going through their different edits and puzzling out something about what's going on with them
- Adding romance/tension between them would be welcome as would keeping it on a professional/rivals level
- I can read Ancient Greek (and Latin, if that should become relevant), so if you want to include any I'd love it! (Please consider this my explicit opt-in to receive fic in Latin or Ancient Greek rather than English.)

General DNW: explicit sex (strong implications/suggestive content/sex jokes all fine), death of requested characters, rape/noncon, underage sex, extreme angst, in-depth discussion of sexual or gender identity, BDSM or other D/s, unrequested noncanon pairings for requested characters, detailed description of pregnancy, unrequested setting AUs
Fandom-specific notes:
Per the additional tag, I'm fine with a worldbuilding fic that doesn't include Ana and Din, or Ana and Din fic that doesn't include worldbuilding! DNW romantic Ana/Din.
Ideas/prompts:
- Case fic - maybe Ana and Din have an opportunity to solve some smaller-scale mystery? Maybe one or both of them is unjustly accused? Maybe they have to in some way do a bit of what the other does?
- Travel adventures/misadventures for Ana and Din!
- In-universe documents about the Empire, the administration, the many constituent parts. Bureaucratic nitty-gritty!
- More about the augurs in particular, or specific types of enhancements in general

Fandom-specific prompts:
- Case fic! Potential settings: train (either a fancy one or a subway), archaeological dig, animal shelter, political campaign - or anything else that you're knowledgeable and passionate about.
- Going off the part in Glass Onion where he struggles at Among Us, it would be fun to see him having more difficulty with social deduction games, or another kind of game/puzzle.
- I could honestly buy him as either a more strictly-business, no mystery-solving off the clock guy OR someone who can't help diving into little mysteries as he comes across them, so I'd enjoy either a fic where he keeps encountering small mysteries and stubbornly refusing to engage with them, or one where he does find and solve one!
- I plan to watch Wake Up Dead Man before works are revealed, so no need to worry about spoilers!

Characters: The Eye | T. Ocellus (Alien: Earth TV 2025)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

The Eye is my favorite horrifying monster. Where did it come from? Does it have history with the xenomorphs? I'd love something from its point of view!
DNW: AUs where any canon characters are non-human creatures in non-canonical ways, like Wendy having claws or cat ears or something.

No letter

The Stand - Stephen King
Characters: Any
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

This is my favorite Stephen King novel. I'd love to hear more about any of the nominated characters, before or after or during the events of the book.
Did Leo always have the shine, or did that happen post-flu? It'd be really interesting to see how it'd go if Alice Underwood or Carla Goldsmith survived along with or instead of their children. Rape or seduction of Lloyd or Larry by Flagg is cool if you want to go in that direction. If you pick Lucy Swann's twins, I'd like them to be older children or teenagers, not babies.
DNW: AUs where any canonically human characters are non-human creatures, like Larry having claws or cat ears or something.

No letter

DNW: Fluff. Mpreg. AUs where canonically human characters are non-human creatures, like Marty having claws or cat ears or something.

No letter

Request 4 by IdMonster
World War Z - Max Brooks
Characters: Worldbuilding (World War Z - Max Brooks)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Please write a story where the zombies invade your town or job or some other location or situation you know well. For instance, if you teach at uni, have them invade one. Realistic details make for great zombie stories.
Alternately, I'd love a historical AU from your favorite historical period. World War Z type zombies in Heian Japan, Mohenjo Daro, or the Viking Age? Yes please!
DNW: AUs with non-canonical fantasy elements, like people with claws or cat ears.

Request 1 by redgear
Hallo itt Mátyás király! - Bogáti Péter
Characters: Hollós Gyula (Hallo itt Mátyás király)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Do Not Want:
- Permanent death of requested characters (Temporary character death like undeath, time loops, time travel, immortality, etc is welcome, as is death in a bad end of cyoa/interactive fiction that isn't implied to be the true end)
- Setting Change AU (everyone has always been baristas, omegaverse, modern AU, etc)
- Unrequested gender identity hcs, neurodivergent hcs, or genderswaps
- Characters going to therapy, anachronistic therapyspeak
- Completely bad/unhappy/hopeless ending (hopeful/bittersweet is welcome)
- Ageplay (time travel to younger self is fine, amnesia is fine)
- Kink negotiations, safewords, color checks.
- Heroic portrayal of Ladislaus the Posthumous or Ulrich of Celje; also, either of those two shipped with anyone
- AUs where a Hunyadi explicitly does not/will not ever become king (any Hunyadi is fine, and works set before such a thing might happen are also fine)
- Time travel being just a game. (Works set entirely before any time travel occurs are fine!)
---
I love everything about Gyula - I'd love to hear the story of where and how he learned any of the things he knows, including whatever digs he was on with Károly where he learned so much about the Iazyges! I'm also obsessed by how much he wants to just get shit done and how dedicated he is to changing things, even when Károly and the Professor try to talk him down, even when all the rest of them accept life as it is, he just never gives up. I'd love him to be narratively allowed to do the industrial revolution he dreams of :3 Maybe they all (or Gyula alone) time travels to earlier in history, when Mátyás was less constrained by war and necessity and had more time to deal with them? Of course Gyula alone would have difficulties of his own, since he's not exactly a historian, but he'd put his head down and get on with it I'm sure :D
I will happily ship Gyula with anyone and everyone, including OCs <3

- Mátyás or Erzsébet death
--- 
I love this version of László - how his grief turns to anger turns to menace so fast when he's dealing with Ulrich and Ladislaus, how passionate he is with Maria, and how sweet he is with Matthias, coaxing him on that of course he'll find some girl who likes him someday :D He contains multitudes! I completely adore how he's so capable, and yet there's still that streak of impulsive overconfidence and that trust that leads him to disaster.
I'd love anything more about him - precanon fic with his parents? More about his relationship with Maria, or his relationship with Matthias? Or AU where he doesn't die (permanently) is also very welcome! Maybe he's imprisoned or banished (I always love a gay-marriage-disinheritance-AU)? I also love ghosts and other supernatural ways for people to not perma-die, as well as time travel! If you're continuing past the point where he dies, feel free to either follow the continuity of the series or go as divergent-AU as you'd like.
I will happily ship László with anyone except King Ladislaus or Ulrich and gen is of course always welcome.
I'm also very fond of the messenger that comes to tell Erzsébet that Ulrich is dead, that poor guy lol. I'd love to know more about him if you'd like to include him. Maybe he was with János and László for a long time? :D

- Time travel being just a game. (Works set entirely before any time travel occurs are fine!)
- Romantic love between Matthias and Beatrice (a political marriage is very welcome, I adore scheming and political maneuvering on both sides!)
---
There are so many just narratively fascinating stories in this bio that I'd love fic about! Tell me more about Matthias doing his own army's recon, getting captured, and talking himself out of it by pretending to be a local groom! Or what it was like for those months trapped alone in Prague after Ladislaus died, not knowing what was going to happen to him. Or struggling with Mihály for control of the government, or deciding he couldn't risk war with the Ottomans and had to imprison Vlad, or finding out just in time about any of the plots against him... I love terrible things happening to him and him coming back from them stronger, colder, more resilient <3
I'm also very interested though in more slice of life stuff: tell me about a day in the life of the roman military history nerd, the renaissance art superfan, the soldier, the diplomat, the propagandist, the guy who fell in love at first sight at a dance. I am really into the speculations Kubinyi makes about his personality/motivations throughout all these!
And I always love time travel, any variety of it, from historical characters going to the future, people from the future coming back, or people time traveling back to their younger selves.
I'll ship Matthias with anyone who isn't DNWed; ocs are welcome in ship as well as gen fic.r a long time? :D

Oncoming default deadline

Dec. 3rd, 2025 03:01 pm
yuletidemods: A hippo lounges with laptop in hand, peering at the screen through a pair of pince-nez and smiling. A text bubble with a heart emerges from the screen. The hippo dangles a computer mouse from one toe. By Oro. (Default)
[personal profile] yuletidemods posting in [community profile] yuletide_admin

Default deadline

The deadline for a simple default on Yuletide is 9pm UTC on 10 December - just under one week from now. Please check the link - this isn't the same time of day as recent years.

The default deadline is the cut-off point for defaulting on your Yuletide assignment without a penalty. This applies if it's your first Yuletide, or if you posted successfully last time you signed up or took a pinch hit. Default before this time, and you're free to sign up again in future. If you're not sure whether the default deadline applies to you, please talk to mods (yuletideadmin@gmail.com).

Sample reasons to default:
  • You want to

  • You can't reconcile the canon, your writing strengths, and your recipient's DNWs

  • Life got in the way

  • A new installment of canon ruined your ideas

  • You use generative AI such as ChatGPT, and you just saw the rule that that's not allowed in this event

  • You can't see how to get the characters to do what you want them to do

  • You want to


People default every year for a variety of reasons. We don't need to know why, and we wish you well. When we open sign-ups, we recommend that you don't sign up unless you're confident you can write a story by the deadline. But after you've signed up, things may happen, and it's okay to withdraw, if that's what makes sense for you. See full information about defaulting at the FAQ.

To default, go to your assignment at the collection, and press the default button.

Assignment deadline

All original assignments, and all pinch hits sent out prior to the default deadline, are due at 9pm UTC 17 December (which is a DIFFERENT time of day to last year). Countdown

Pinch Hits

We have an outstanding pinch hit at [community profile] yuletide_pinch_hits. Please get in contact if you can help!!!

Betas & Beta Help Needed

We warmly welcome beta reader volunteers at the beta post and on Discord. See the FAQ for more information about finding betas if you need one!

Note: on the Yuletide Discord, requests for betas, or for brainstorming help that might give away what you're writing, are handled by DM-ing someone who currently holds a Hippo role. Please read the server FAQ before seeking a beta. Give your Hippo the relevant details and make sure you can receive messages back.

Treats and Posting

Click here for instructions on posting your assignment or treats. If you've finished your assignment and are considering treats, check out the app, and don't forget the promo post where people have advertised their canons. You may find something amazing there! Check out the prompts from pinch hitters too.

Keep Yuletide Madness in mind. The Madness collection is for stories under 1,000 words and stories which do not exactly fit the fandoms and characters requested. These works must still be gifts for other participants.

AFK post

We will also put up an Away from Keyboard post shortly on the [community profile] yuletide comm. The purpose of this post is that if people know they won't be able to respond to their gift until late in the anon period, or even until the new year, they can let their author know ahead of time. (Not being able to read and respond until several days after the collection opens is normal, though - many people will have family and other obligations!)

Happy December!

Schedule, Rules, & Collection | Contact Mods | Participant DW | Participant LJ | Pinch Hits on DW | Discord | Tag set | Tag set app

Please either comment logged-in or sign a name. Unsigned anonymous comments will be left screened. And specifically, if you would like to get a treat, we need your AO3 name so we know whom to give it to!

pensnest: Bright red shoes against the seashore (Red Shoes)
[personal profile] pensnest
Beast and I were watching 'Madam President' earlier today, and they mentioned having a warship offload a bunch of refugees to a Camp in New Mexico.

"Does New Mexico have a coastline?" said I, dubiously.

It does not. Beast and I had a brief argument on this point, as he was maintaining that Mexico has two coastlines, which it does, but New Mexico? Not the same thing.

So... warship? I mean, how?

(I realise this is an old reference. We are watching on DVDs loaned by Bun. (Still, I'm kinda wondering why none of the Americans in the room where it was made noticed the problem. Or is there a known pipeline from the Atlantic—or the Gulf of wherever—to New Mexico? (Okay now I am imagining a couple of hundred refugees trekking miserably through an actual pipeline, a less glamorous Anatevka march.)))

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

DNW: long discussions of consent, the traffic light system, non-canonical nicknames, explicit works featuring characters younger than 16, hopeless endings, pregnancy, lactation
--
Anyone who follows me on social media this year has unfortunately had to watch me descend into madness week after week as TBHX aired. To say this series has occupied my thoughts is the understatement of the century. I requested these four, but really I'd also be happy to get a gen ensemble piece featuring any of the nominated characters (of which there are so, so many).
I don't mind an unhappy or ambiguous ending for a fic set in this fandom. No need for a happy ending when there are so few in canon. Also, I don't care what version of the names you use for any of the characters. Whatever you’re comfortable with is fine by me.
As for these four, I give permission for any of the following character configurations: any of the four alone in a solo character examination piece, gen featuring any combination of the four requested characters, and then the ships Original Nice/Wreck, Original Nice/Yang Cheng, Dragon Boy/Yang Cheng, or Dragon Boy/Original Nice. I also love Yang Cheng/Shang Chao, and I would have requested Shang Chao, too, if I could have requested five characters!
My linked letter has more specific fandom prompts, along with my general likes for both lower ratings and explicit ones. I'd love a fic based on my prompts, something more general, or one completely from your imagination. Aside from avoiding my DNWs, what's best for me as a gift-receiver is getting something that my author had fun writing.

Name these two whatever you want. Call them Tom and Brian if that's easiest, but I’m fine with renaming the characters, or leaving them nameless.
We love a five-minute fandom, don't we? I periodically get obsessed with Tom Cardy's music and the possibilities therein, and him dragging Brian David Gilbert into the mix is only a plus. I'm really happy that the song's psychiatrist and patient found their destiny in each other, so any exploration of that would be fantastic, romantic or otherwise. Maybe the patient decides to go into psychiatry, too, to see if there are any other beautiful minds out there. Maybe the psychiatrist struggles with the knowledge that his soulmate is a patient and the moral and ethical quandaries that introduces. Maybe they go out into the world together to look for ways to travel through space and time, or they just find a bear learning how to water ski.

DNW: long discussions of consent, the traffic light system, non-canonical nicknames, explicit works featuring characters younger than 16, hopeless endings, pregnancy, lactation

Name these two whatever you want, or leave them nameless. This can be based off of just the song, or the extended worldbuilding that the video introduces, such as things like the hero being Super European laborer sibling saving the Princess or finally opting to walk away from the game at the end of the song.
Something about the relentless pursuit of happiness, achieving it, and still never being fulfilled is a real punch to the gut, and Tom Cardy is really good at introducing deep topics and approaching them in the stupidest way possible. I'd like to see the hero and the bad guy come to some sort of agreement to coexist together as allies or friends or romantically because the song makes it clear that they're pretty wrapped up together. As the bad guy says, "Even if you did defeat me, what would you do then?" and clearly the hero trying everything under the sun doesn't really work to erase the high of conquering his enemy.

Sasaki and Miyano are my two favorite weirdos in love. I love that their slow burn actually led to something canonical, and I love how careful Miyano was as he considered Sasaki's confession, even though making him wait six months for an answer almost killed me. I know only the manga is in the tagset, but if you're anime-only or haven't read the last couple of manga volumes, I don't mind you branching off from another point for something canon-divergent. I'm very much into Sasamiya as a ship, though if you want to write something non-romance focused like Miyano getting used to his first weeks at university, that would be great!

Bang Brave Bang Bravern (Anime)

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

DNW: long discussions of consent, the traffic light system, non-canonical nicknames, explicit works featuring characters younger than 16, hopeless endings, pregnancy, lactation
--
Bravern absolutely rewrote my brain when it came out. It gave me everything I've always wanted in a mecha anime, and several things I had no idea that I wanted.
For my fic's character interactions, I want Isami in it no matter what, and I also want some iteration of Lewis included, but I don't care if Lewis is Lewis or Bravern or both. Something like just Isami realizing while in Bravern that Bravern is also Lewis would be great, but I'm also fine with Isami/Bravern or Isami/Smith alone.
Isami and Smith had one of the best canonical love stories I've watched possibly ever, and that applies to Isami and Bravern as well, so I'd love a story where they make those feelings obvious and consummated. If you really just want to write about them fighting aliens or boxing or chilling with Lulu, that's all cool, too. Gen stories involving Lulu and Superbia or any of Isami and Smith's coworkers would also be fun as hell!

► Characters weaponizing assumptions others make about them
► Disloyalty kink - where does devotion BREAK DOWN? What WON'T a character do? Characters choosing their principles/mission/cause over another character
► Crew as crew - more complicated than friends or family
► Doom is actually inevitable; characters find joy, quiet moments, spots of peace anyway
► Eerie tenderness, tenderness characters cannot trust, unexpected mercy
► Stories with some kind of stakes involved
► If your story could encompass the phrase "awful, but cheerful!" I will probably find lots to like in it
I just really love the romance and menace of Lucifer, and I love Xas and Aurora and the interesting reactions actual Satan himself brings out in them. What if Aurora goes to hell and meets Lucifer again? Or some backstory between him and Xas...? I'm also familiar with The Angel's Cut should you wish to reference it.
I don't much care for Sobran, but he certainly looms large in Xas and Aurora's mind, so mentions are fine, but please don't focus on him.

I've loved this story of a very moral(ly rigid) teen and an evil alien who is the only person who listens to her for a very, very long time. I love that the spore alien feels weirdly parental towards Jessie early on, and that they end up bodysharing later... more twisted philosophical discussions, alien horror, and battles (or meetings) in the center of the mind would be just the thing.

When I first watched this short I was so sure the ending twist would be that Galina regretted betraying the biome to humanity and had gone over to Swarm willingly. I'd love a twisted fix-it fic written in that vein, or perhaps a story where Swarm and Galina build some kind of twisted relationship through their years together. Swarm interfaces directly with her brain, imagine the twisted kink and romantic potential. Galina is in hell, she doesn't have to be trapped there; her mind could be free...

The Bone Harp - Victoria Goddard
Characters: Any
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I would love to read about the Sons of Dâr, after. After they all died and both the dead and the living believed they'd left their brother alone with his curses and oaths? After they were sung home and had to relearn life, and peace, and the company of others? After Tamsin walks back into their lives, somehow, wearing that same old cloak and tunic but no longer silent, no longer cursed? This book has so much buildup and the payoff that we get in text is lovely but very brief.
I am very into all of the Gender that Tamsin has going on, if that's something you want to lean into. Also totally fine if you want to leave him out completely! The elflands don't actually revolve around him and his musical talent.
Definitely prefer overall gen for this one, but shippy mentions are fine (canon or otherwise).
My preference is generally for characterization and setting that are pretty close to the text. Canon-divergent plot is all good. In terms of bad stuff happening on or off page: up to canon levels of violence/trauma unless otherwise noted.
General likes:

DNW:

Singing Hills Cycle - Nghi Vo
Characters: Wild Pig Yi, Wei Jintai
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I love Wild Pig Yi and that we've seen her legends come up outside of Riverlands (Mammoths and maybe somewhere else?). I love the triad and all the different stories about them, and the different facets and truths and falsehoods. I love Wei Jintai and Mac Sang.
I'd love to read a legend of the Southern Monkey Master and her sworn sister (or his sworn brother, if the legend has traveled a very long way). I'd love to read a legend of Wild Pig Yi and her exploits and lovers. I really enjoy when the fox girl with eyes painted on her eyes shows up, and I honestly don't care if there's ever a resolution on that or if she just keeps showing up and prognosticating in the background.
I really, really like how these are stories about stories. How different stories reveal or conceal, contain truth and fiction. That a story is never the whole picture. That context matters, and that sometimes the information you're given is just wrong.
Canon-typical violence, unreliable storytellers, horror themes, etc are all good with me.

Hurog - Patricia Briggs
Characters: Wardwick (Hurog)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I just really like Ward. He's smart and thoughtful and kind, he knows what he wants, he cares for the people around him, and he is willing and able to receive care from them as well. Everybody here has huge amounts of damage and trauma, and they're still doing their best.
Ward & Oreg - I would be delighted to read Ward And Oreg Have A Nice Day And Nothing Bad Happens. Ward And Oreg: Roadtrip To Piss On Every Hurog Lord's Gravestone. Ward And Oreg Have Tea With A Dragon.
Ward & Garranon - Garranon is just a really decent guy. They are both decent, honorable guys who lived through awful things and have decided not to do that to the people around them. On the other hand, Garranon was part of putting Ward in another awful situation, although with limited agency himself - is there anything they need to hash out?
Ward & Tisala - Slice of life after they're married? Dealing with some kind of very mundane and handle-able problem? Slice of life in the lead-up to getting married?
Basically, I would like any or all of these people to Have A Nice Day. Sometimes, even when one is having a nice day, trauma rears its gnarly head, but I would prefer that it not be the central theme.
 
Prefer only canon relationships for this. I'm pretty neutral/meh on kidfic in general, but I think this is a fandom where it makes sense and could work well (either Ward and Tisala's kids or Ward's niblings. I will happily read it if that's the way inspiration takes you.
Request-specific DNW: I don't mind if anybody's past experiences with Jakoven & co. come up, but I would prefer that it not be the focus of the story.

Spindle's End - Robin McKinley
Characters: Any
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Aunt - she's lived a long life, there's lots to explore. What was she like as a young woman? When Katriona arrived in her care? When Kat was gone for six months attending the princess's name-day? When they started hearing the news that something went terribly wrong? She had some idea what was happening, but it still must have been awfully hard to wait for Kat to come home.
Katriona - She grows up and grows into her own power so much over the course of this book. Kat and Zel, now that her familiar has finally found her? How did Zel know about that long-ago promise to the fox who helped them? Kat missing Peony? Kat in the aftermath? Kat and Aunt, the two most powerful fairies in the Gig?
Peony - Peony and the Princess. Peony being the Princess. Peony and the Princess's family. Peony and the Princess's future subjects, on the grand tour back through the country and to her new home. I feel so bad for Peony, that she was never quite wanted by her family, that she volunteered to be the Princess for a few months and got stuck with being the Princess for the rest of her life. She will be a good Queen, but... does she want that?
Maybe Pernicia lost but took the Princess with her, leaving only the Princess's two waiting women. Maybe there's a way they can both stay in Foggy Bottom, even once they're breathing their own breath, casing their own shadows. Maybe Rosie goes with her to the palace and her new life - perhaps not forever, but for long enough that it's not a total severance. I kind of hate that Narl said to Katriona, "don't you want to keep her" and they both threw their power into it without Peony having any kind of say. Or maybe Peony and Rosie did talk about it, in the long quiet hours at the top of their tower. They don't know what will happen, maybe one or both of them will be dead on the first day of the Princess's 22nd year, so why not spin out the possibilities. Maybe Rosie knew that Peony would truly enjoy it, rather than just wanting to get out of it herself.
Rosie - Some years down the line being recognized, truly, by her parents? All of them needing to grapple with the events and choices that brought them here? Rosie unable to get out of being the Princess, learning to cope, allowing herself to be formed, a little, but also pushing back and making space for herself at the court? The royal family of her mother's country breeds sighthounds - there's no reason she can't be known for the quality of her stable.
Rosie & Peony / Rosie/Peony - I really like their friendship. I also think there's a lot of room for shippy feels here, requited or otherwise. They breathe together. They only cast one shadow. Rosie, bending down to wake her friend (a sleeping beauty) with true love's kiss. I can't even!
 
Request-specific DNW: I'm pretty meh on Rosie/Narl. McKinley has a thing for young women with much older men and I'm just not that into it. Please don't focus on this relationship. Narl's fine as a character but he's at least twice her age. Ych.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

( The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

Yesterday I shovelled two tons of sand.

I just thought you should know.

Dear Becky

No, I don't want you to update my website and maximise my sales. Do you in fact know what my website is for? What exactly it is that I am selling? Didn't think so.

Yours, irritably,

Last night I thought I was incubating—had incubated, indeed—the most horrendous cold. I was miserable! I cancelled this morning's yoga and prepared to battle with Vicks and tissues.

This evening I'm... more or less fine. I do emit an occasional mighty sneeze, and I don't think I can manage any top notes, but otherwise, I'm good. It's nice, but rather baffling.

Spent Sunday at a mixed chorus rehearsal, which was interesting and useful although possibly less fun than I had anticipated. We had a drama chap come to work with us on our performance. He choreographed a number of carefully-thought-out moves, but I had hoped he would work with us on conveying emotions through body language or learning to make our faces work harder for us, or something. Still. It was a useful start on a more disciplined presentation of our song.

Now we just have to remember it all.

I think my procrastination skills are faltering a bit, which is just as well as I have a Yuletide story to write and Christmas stuff to organise. I have made a start on the Yuletide thing, which is flowing reasonably well, so far, but it's fairly canon-y at present and I shall flounder far more once I am further adrift. Meanwhile I have also found myself writing a Romance of a not-fannish kind, unless it be a rather remote tribute to Georgette Heyer. Sentences keep forming themselves in my mind when I am trying to go to sleep. So far I have not resorted to phone or notebook to deal with them, as I more or less trust myself to be able to say what I want to say, but argh! Months and months without the ability to write so much as a sentence of fiction, and now, abundance! And I'm sooooo indolent. Sigh.

Christmas will be getting under way for me this coming weekend. Well, no, that is not strictly true, of course, I have parcels arriving daily and even went shopping yesterday in Jarrolds Food Hall, always a pleasure. I approve of Norfolk Stuff. And they have a Chocolate Library. Anyway, do sign up for a card from me, on my previous post! I like sending cards out, despite the eyewatering costs of postage.

But this weekend is the chorus concert at the local church, just up the road. It is the traditional start to my chorus's Christmas season, except last year when somebody at the church managed to double book and we ended up not going there. Grump. As mentioned above, I may not be able to hit the high notes, but there are few of these as I only sing Tenor on one song with the women's chorus. (Oddly, I managed an F# on Sunday in brief rehearsal with my quartet, though my voice was feeling the strain at Eb earlier.) I am arming myself with a handful of very short Christmas poems, as I'll probably be doing some of the MC's duties.

I seem to have developed an alternative personality for Reddit. Rather more astringent than I am here, where I am myself, and also, rather wittier. Hmm.

Back to the story with the deadline.

it's Christmas Time!

Well, now. Serves me right for not perusing my Dreamwidth reading page more regularly—I feel sure I would have been prompted to ask for Christmas card addresses by now. Still, better late than never: if you would like a card from me at Chrimbletide, please put your name and address in comments, which are screened. If you'd particularly appreciate a religious card, do say so, and if you'd particularly hate one, say also.
