Yuletide 2018: The Letter!
Oct. 17th, 2018 06:54 pmThank you for writing for me!
Here are some things I like: Humor, drama, snark, romance, smiling in the face of absurdity. (You can probably tell from my requests.) My Smutswap letter has lots of details on what I like in porn. I find AUs fun, both canon divergence and actual AUs.
My DNWs are pretty simple: Character bashing/needless sideswipes at characters, noncon, omegaverse. Please don't write me dubcon unless both characters 100% secretly want to have sex (I am fussy otherwise, so best to err on the side of caution).
I like porn! I like gen! I like shippy fic and holding hands! I like longfic and shortfic! I basically love all these characters and will probably be delighted if you like them as much as I do. A variety of prompts, shippy and not, follow, but feel free to go your own way if something makes you happy.
I love friendship, interdependence (especially the kind that makes everyone stronger), found families, and all the fandoms I nominated.
DNWs: Character bashing/needless sideswipes at characters, noncon, omegaverse, pregnancy. Please don't write me dubcon unless both characters 100% secretly want to have sex (I am fussy otherwise, so best to err on the side of caution).
In Other Lands (Sarah Rees Brennan)
Character: Luke Sunborn
I love Luke, so very much. I am quite happy with Luke/Elliot, and feel free to include (or ignore) their relationship as you please. (No angsty/sad breakups, and if you have them break up offscreen I'd like them to be on good terms or to have Elliot not mentioned at all.)
I like that Luke is never quite Like the Other Boys and then has to navigate wings and that deep, strange harpy side of himself. The world never quite meets what he thinks it ought to be - pretty common for a young man his age, in a fantastic world or not - but he keeps fighting and pushing through.
If you'd like I'd love more about his relationship with Gregory (Gregory is DELIGHTFUL), his friendship/warrior bonds with Serene, and/or his ups and downs with Elliot.
Pre-canon or during-canon fic ideas: Growing up with his family you don't quite know how to fit in with, his friendship with Selene, learning to fight and kill. (The way Elliot registers, to his horror, that Luke's gotten used to it really stuck with me when I read the book.)
Post-canon: Elliot decides Luke should know what a date is like. Luke has to go to the human world for Reasons. Gregory Sunborn is needed for an important negotiation. Luke starts training the junior fighters and has to deal with many, many, many more questions than he's prepared to answer.
American Vandal
Characters: Peter Maldonado, Sam Ecklund
Sam and Peter control so much of the story, and we see all these tiny glimpses of what they're actually like when they're not 'on.' I'd really like to see more. The show does a great job of showing them learning from the mistakes they make in S1 and S2 while never forgetting that they're a pair of dumbasses who are in over their heads. I kind of half ship them? At any rate, friendship fic or shipfic is fine.
I'd love to see what they do when they're not working on a documentary from hell, pre-S1, post-S2 or in between seasons. Futurefic at college would be interesting - are they going the same place? Will they feel obligated to be in touch or only see each other over vacations? Who are they when they aren't together?
Alternately, if you want to drop them in a fantasy universe or zombie apocalypse, that sounds fun too! Go nuts.
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard - Rick Riordan
Characters: Blitzen, Hearthstone
I love them, I ship them, I will never get enough.
More pre-canon stuff for Blitz and Hearth, full stop. More about the deals Blitz and Hearth struck, especially Hearth's for magic. How does Blitz learn sign language?
Canon-ish adventures are always welcome. Searches for artifacts! Gods being assholes! Weird family trees! (Feel free to drag in any and all characters who would fit: I love this cast. Blitz and Magnus are cousins and I love that.)
Any kind of hangout fic would be fun, because canon doesn't really have time for that. What's day-to-day business like in the store? What's it like at the Chase Space?
Note: As happened last year, there's a new Magnus Chase book coming out that I haven't read by signups (but will have read by reveals). I am not fussed about your story being jossed or spoilers or anything like that.
