On the Cusp of Something Great (Just Wait and See)

Yuletide is, without a doubt, one of the biggest highlights of my year, and I'm sure I will love anything you write for me. But since you're here, you're obviously looking for specifics, so I'll do my best to explain myself. If you're interested in looking at the fic I've written myself for Yuletide or in general, you can find that here. If you are worried, dear author, that we matched on the one fandom I wasn't super into, let me alleviate that angst right now. There is no lesser one here. I am really fond of them all. Some I have more ideas about, but that's only because for the others, I'm only interested one specific dynamic or set of characters.

Dear Yuletide Author Letter 2021

posted on: The 24th of October, 2021 @ 7:08pm

First Of All

Thank you for writing for me, anon! Not to get too far into it, but this has, unequivocally, been the worst fucking year of my life. I'm so glad it's almost over, and I'm so glad that I have Yuletide to look forward to. Yuletide is, without a doubt, one of the biggest highlights of my year, and I'm sure I will love anything you write for me. But since you're here, you're obviously looking for specifics, so I'll do my best to explain myself. If you're interested in looking at the fic I've written myself for Yuletide or in general, you can find that here. If you are worried, dear author, that we matched on the one fandom I wasn't super into, let me alleviate that angst right now. There is no lesser one here. I am really fond of them all. Some I have more ideas about, but that's only because for the others, I'm only interested one specific dynamic or set of characters.

Fandom Specifics

1. ด้ายแดงซีรีส์ | Until We Meet Again The Series (TV)
Characters: Win, Team, Dean, Pharm
Request:

I love both of these pairings and all four of the characters! I'd like to see more of their love story, and how Win eventually convinces Team to admit his feelings. If you want to make it an AU for another setting or make it a canon divergence so that you can give them your own first time, go for it! I'd also love to see what the morning after was like on their trip. Was Team awkward until Win teased him out of it? What about the day after? When the heat of that moment passed, did Team revert back to being defensive and not believing Win? Give me any Win/Team relationship/slice of life stuff.

For Dean and Pharm, I want to see how Pharm has Dean wrapped around his finger, whether he knows it or not. Dean is so gone over him, and it's the most adorable thing. With Korn and In gone - or at least quiet - in their minds, I would like to see how Dean and Pharm begin to relearn how to be together, just them. And sex: Pharm is so shy and nervous. Show me how Dean gets him to open up and enjoy himself, maybe leading to the first time that Pharm initiates things on his own.

DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
Win/Team - Team wakes up the morning after his first time with Win. He's cuddled up against him, his head tucked under Win's chin. It's a familiar feeling, except this time, they're naked. Except this time, Team finally admitted his feelings for Win. Except this time, they had sex. And then what?

Prompt 2:
Dean/Pharm - Literally everyone except Pharm realizes how easily he could convince his boyfriend to do anything. Pharm is confused about why the swim team members suddenly come to him with requests. Meanwhile, everyone on the Dean fan pages is freaking out about how their ice cold swim captain completely melts with a just a look from his boyfriend.

Prompt 3:
Win/Team - Win has found himself a new admirer, and Team is not happy about it. It forces him to admit his feelings for Win both to Win and himself.

Prompt 4:
Dean/Pharm - Dean helping Pharm discover how good sex feels and that it's ok to ask for what he wants, especially with Dean, who would give him anything. I love the size difference between them, and I bet that Pharm does too. He already mentioned that he loved how big Dean's hands were. Imagine both of his wrists gently and easily held by one of Dean's hands. Dean holding him up by the waist against a wall. Basically, I want to see thirsty Pharm, who is free of the PTSD inside of his brain and just wants to have sex with his super hot boyfriend.

Prompt 5:
Win/Team — Win taking care of a sick or injured Team. Hurt/comfort encouraged! I'd love to see Win worried and Team grumpy.

Prompt 6:
Win/Team — Team takes Win out on what he decides is their first 'real' date, and he's nervous af. Win thinks it's adorable.

Prompt 7:
Gen - How did Dean and Win become best friends? They seem like very opposite personalities. I'd like to see Pharm giving Team some advice for once, since it was always the other way around on the show.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. HIStory3 - 圈套 | HIStory3: Trapped (TV)
Characters: Meng Shao Fei, Tang Yi, Jack, Zhao-zi
Request:

I would genuinely take any combination of these four characters. Shao Fei/Tang Yi or Jack/Zhao Zi, but then I also love the Shao Fei and Jack friendship and whatever weird friendship/boss relationship is going on with Jack and Tang Yi. Jack is staying around for Zhao Zi, so does he freelance for Tang Yi? Are they awkward friends? Do they hate each other?

Shao Fei and Zhao Zi are the world's goofiest cops, and I would enjoy seeing them have misadventures together, especially if it ended with their boyfriends bailing them out of trouble. But on the other hand, it might be fun to see things the other way around, where Jack and Tang Yi are in trouble, and Shao Fei and Zhao Zi prove their skills by saving the day.

I am kind of obsessed with the time on the show after Shao Fei moves in with Tang Yi, but before they get together. You can do so much in that time. I'll take sexual tension or more hijinks. I'd also like to see the two of them when Tang Yi gets released from prison. What's their life like? I'd also like to see Tang Yi be the jealous one for once, since it was always Shao Fei on the show. What's a jealous Tang Yi look like?

Jack and Zhao Zi are the sweetest couple on the planet. I love how Jack is a completely different person around Zhao Zi. How protective/ruthless does he get to keep him safe? Jack is also super hot, so I'd like to see Zhao Zi get territorial when someone is trying to hit on his boyfriend.

DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
Meng Shao Fei/Tang Yi - One of Shao Fei's exes (maybe another cop?) shows up to throw a wrench in things while Shao Fei is investigating Tang Yi. Tang Yi has gotten very used to easily keeping all of Shao Fei's attention and isn't pleased to share. Basically, I really want to see jealous Tang Yi after a whole series of jealous Shao Fei.

Prompt 2:
Jack/Zhao Zi - Someone is threatening Zhao Zi because of a case he's working on. Unfortunately for that poor soul, they don't realize who his boyfriend is...I would love to see Jack protecting Zhao Zi like the deadly assassin he is.

Prompt 3:
Meng Shao Fei/Tang Yi - Tang Yi gets released from prison, and then what? I'd love to read their first (and second and third) time when they finally get to touch each other again. Size difference and praise kink also encouraged here. But if you don't want to write sex, then I'd LOVE to see how the two of them navigate their very weird lives together.

Prompt 4:
Jack/Zhao Zi- A former colleague of Jack's comes back into the picture and gets very confused by the Jack he sees with Zhao Zi. Surely he's undercover for some mission. No way the Jack he knows has gotten out of the business and spends his days playing househusband for a COP, of all things.

Prompt 5:
Gen/multi - Jack and Tang Yi OR Shao Fei and Zhao Zi are kidnapped and their partners have to mount a rescue campaign. Does Zhao Zi use his tech prowess to knock out the bad guys' surveillance? How many people get gutted by Jack's switchblade? How badly does Shao Fei lose his shit in the police station when he finds out? How many laws does Tang Yi immediately decide to break in order to get Shao Fei back?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. My Engineer (TV)
Characters: Ram, King

Request:

The show ended on kind of a down note for them, which will obviously be the focus of series two. But until then, I'd like to see how they resolve their issues. I think it would be great to see Ram take some initiative. King has been the driving force behind their relationship the whole time, but he's obviously confused and hurt now, so it would be nice for Ram to step up.

I'd love to see how Ram courts King. Does he talk to Bohn and King's other friends? Does he dare to touch him more when they're at home together watching television?

And as a bonus: I'd love to see a fic where, because of how hard he had to work to hear it, Ram's voice really does it for King. Especially in bed. And Ram figures it out...

DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
Ram/King - Ram loves King and wants to make sex as good as possible for him. So when he realizes that King likes it when he talks...really likes it...Ram uses that to make King go crazy. Bonus points for giving King a praise kink.

Prompt 2:
Ram/King - Ram didn't realize until the camping trip how confused King felt about their budding relationship. He thought that they were on the same page. But now Ram understands the problem and recognizes that at least part of it is his fault for being so cold in the beginning. So he decides to court King and make his feelings known.

Prompt 3:
Ram/King - King watching Ram boxing/working out. And what happens after. That's it. That's the prompt.

Prompt 4:
Gen - King helps Ram deal with his family stuff and confront his father.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

30歳まで童貞だと魔法使いになれるらしい | Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! (TV)
Characters: Kurosawa, Adachi

Request:

Where do I even start with these two? I want everything. I want to see the first time they have sex and Adachi loses his powers. How does he feel? Does not being able to read Kurosawa's mind make him even more nervous, or is he relieved?

I'd love to see Adachi surprise Kurosawa by telling people in the office about their relationship (when he's ready - it could be years later, if you want). I think that Kurosawa would be deeply touched by that.

Seeing Adachi from Kurosawa's perspective would be great too. He's such a perfectionist and so eager to please Adachi that he is probably freaking out before their first time too, at least a little.

DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
Adachi/Kurosawa — When Adachi finally has his first time with Kurosawa, Kurosawa does everything he can to make it perfect. I'd love to see the things Adachi discovers about his body and what feels good with Kurosawa's patient and thorough help.

Prompt 2:
Adachi/ Kurosawa — After Adachi loses his powers, how does he navigate his relationship? Is he relieved? Or does he talk circles around himself until Kurosawa has to calm him down again?

Prompt 3:
Adachi/Kurosawa — It's been however long you want, and finally Adachi tells the rest of the office about their relationship. He could do it because he's had enough of watching people throw themselves at a too-polite-to-say-anything Kurosawa. Or maybe Adachi just realizes that keeping it a secret is hurting Kurosawa, even if he never says.

Prompt 4:
Adachi/Kurosawa — I'd take something like a 5+1 list of times that Kurosawa has surprised or pleased or made Adachi feel shy. I just want to watch Adachi be happy.

Prompt 5 (extra optional!):
If you feel comfortable writing about Tsuge, I'd enjoy a story where Adachi and Tsuge talk about their first times and more about dealing with their magic and lack thereof.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

永遠的第一名 | We Best Love (TV)
Characters: Gao Shi De, Zhou Shu Yi

Request:

I would really like to see moments from the time after they first got together to before Shide went off to America. Mostly, I want to see Shuyi realize, once he lets himself, how thirsty he is for Shide and probably always has been. Now that he's looking, Shide is gorgeous and charming, which is, of course, infuriating in its own way. Does he have to be good at everything?

I'd also like to see what Shide is like when he's given free rein to flirt and seduce Shuyi openly. He's got a decade to make up for, after all.

DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
Shi De/Shu Yi — When they first get together, Gao Shi De is finally free to openly show Shu Yi his affection, and he takes advantage. He gets to touch him! And flirt with him! Shu Yi can barely keep up.

Prompt 2:
Shi De/Shu Yi — Now that Shu Yi has admitted his feelings to himself, he starts noticing things about Shi De that he never did before. Like Shi De's deep, rumbly voice, his broad shoulders, the little smirk he makes when he knows Shu Yi's turned on. Basically, I want to see super thirsty Shu Yi, discovering that he doesn't like Shi De despite him being a guy. He likes Shi De because he's a guy — a really fucking hot guy.

Prompt 3:
Shi De/Shu Yi — Hurt/comfort where Shi De and his mother give Shu Yi the family and love he never got from his father.

Prompt 4:
Shi De/Shu Yi — I'd like to see their first (sober) time having sex after they got back together. I imagine Shi De being really desperate and emotional, and Shu Yi calming him down and reassuring him.

Prompt 5:
Shi De/Shu Yi — One night after a talk with his father, Shu Yi sits down and reads all of Shi De's emails to him over the years. Hurt/comfort encouraged.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. เดือนเกี้ยวเดือน | 2 Moons The Series (TV)
Characters: Ming, Kit, Forth, Beam

Request:

These two pairings make my heart grow ten sizes. I love either version of Ming and Kit, so it doesn't matter to me if you want to write about the original actors or the actors from 2 Moons 2. For Forth and Beam, though, I'd like the 2 Moons 2 characters.
Ming is such a gentle puppy dog, following Kit around, desperate for attention. It's really sweet, especially since Ming is so handsome and popular. Kit is clearly uncomfortable with all of the attention Ming gets, so it would be nice to see a story where they work through Kit's trust issues. Also, what's their first time like? Ming is experienced, but Kit has only slept with one woman, and he's a very anxious and self-conscious person. How does Ming go about making him feel comfortable and safe? The teasing is the best part of this pairing, so if nothing else, that's what I would like to see the most!
Forth and Beam are great together. Beam is prickly and almost rude at times. I like the way that Forth decides he wants Beam and just goes for it. We've seen how much Beam likes Forth's body, so Forth seducing Beam as he tries to stay away from him might be fun. I'd also like Beam trying to make it all about sex, and Forth refusing to let him, and making things slow and sweet in a way that Beam loves - but also hates that he loves.
Feel free to include Pha and Wayo in the story as well!
DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
Ming/Kit - Kit keeps putting off doing anything more than kissing Ming. Ming thinks it's because Kit doesn't like him that much or is having second thoughts about them, but it's really that Kit is nervous because Ming has so much experience, and he doesn't think he could measure up.

Prompt 2:
Forth/Beam - Beam says he doesn't want to be in a relationship, but he can't get Forth out of his head. It's even harder when the guy keeps showing up wherever he is, looking...like that. So Beam gives in and has sex with him again. JUST sex, but then Forth has to make things complicated, like he always does.

Prompt 3:
Ming/Kit - It takes a while, but Kit eventually gets used to dating the incredibly popular, handsome, and sought after campus moon. It helps that Ming proves time and again that he's only loyal to Kit.

Prompt 4:
Forth/Beam - Beam likes to grumble about bottoming, but in the bedroom, with Forth on top of him, it's an entirely different story.

Prompt 5:
Gen - Kit finds out about Beam and Forth and talks to Beam about it.

Prompt 4:
Gen - King helps Ram deal with his family stuff and confront his father.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

5. บังเอิญรัก | Love by Chance (TV)
Characters: Pete, Ae

Request:

I love the hints the show gave that Pete was more mischievous and tricky than he let on. Yes, he was shy and easily embarrassed, but he also knew what he wanted when it came to Ae. And during the sex scenes, he seemed just as into it as Ae. Plus, he'd have to be blind not to realize how obsessed with him Ae is. So a story about Pete using some gentle persuasion to get what he wants from Ae would be great.
Bonus points if what Pete convinces Ae to do is something he knows Ae really wants but is afraid to ask for because of his hero complex and the way he always puts Pete first.
If you want to delve into AU territory, Ae the pro-soccer player and Pete, who had a crush on him from afar at university, meet again years down the line.
If you want to address and fix what's happening between them now in A Chance To Love, that would be great too.
DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
Pete/Ae - Pete can tell by the way that Ae grabs his wrists during sex that he really wants to tie him up. But the thought that he might hurt Pete keeps him from doing it. Pete makes it clear that actually, yes, he would very much like that as well. And doesn't Ae like to give him what he wants?

Prompt 2:
Pete/Ae - Without spoiling, in case you haven't been following A Chance to Love, please fix the Situation happening there however you see fit.

Prompt 3:
Pete/Ae - Pete ends up in the hospital (non-fatally!), and Ae nearly loses his mind with worry and the frustration of not being able to do anything to help.

Prompt 4:
Pete/Ae - AU - Pete and Ae never ended up bumping into each other that day, and so instead, Pete watches Ae from afar, going to his football games and keeping his giant crush a secret. After university, Ae is a famous football player, and Pete follows his career. Somehow, their paths cross.

Prompt 5:
Gen - Ae takes it upon himself to make sure that Trump is really out of the picture.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

6. HIStory2 - 是非 | HIStory2: Right or Wrong (TV)
Characters: Fei Shengzhe, Shi Yijie

Request:

These two and YoYo make such a cute little family. Xiao Fei spent so many years getting bullied and being ashamed of who he is. The best thing about this show was the way that Shi Yijie refused to be ashamed of him. When he realized he loved Xiao Fei, he was all in.
I'd like to see more of Shi Yijie proudly showing him off, introducing him to family, YoYo's school, etc. And if you want to write it, helping him feel confident and safe during sex too.
Just seeing all of the ways that the two of them change each other's lives would be great. Maybe we can flash forward to YoYo's graduation from university and see what things are like for the three of them then.
The show acts like their is no ethical dilemma about a professor dating a student, so feel free to take that stance as well. I'm not interested in the consequences on Shi Yijie's job of them being together. The HIStory series has a, well, history of ignoring facts that would get in the way of a cute romance, and I'm fine with it.
DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
Shi Yijie/Fei Shengzhe - Shi YiJie never lets Xiao Fei hide, he never lets him feel inferior or ashamed. He's proud of their relationship and proud to introduce Xiao Fei as his partner and then his husband. It makes Xiao Fei's heart clench every time.

Prompt 2:
Shi Yijie/Fei Shengzhe - Xiao Fei is nervous the first time they have sex, but Shi Yijie convinces him that he's desirable and that he doesn't have be be afraid with him.

Prompt 3:
Shi Yijie/Fei Shengzhe - The evolution of this relationship through YoYo's eyes as she grows up, first with Xiao Fei as her nanny, then, slowly, as her other dad. Maybe you could go through the highlights of her life: their marriage, her first boyfriend/girlfriend, graduating university, getting a job, having a child, etc.

Prompt 4:
Shi Yijie/Fei Shengzhe - Xiao Fei gets sick, so Shi Yijie tries to take care of things on his own. It doesn't go well.

Dear Yuletide Author 2019

posted on: The 3rd of November, 2019 @ 1:35pm

UST (preferably resolved)

Pining, someone falling in love with someone else despite trying not to, falling in love and thinking it's not reciprocated

Miscommunication

Intimacy: kissing, hand holding, snuggling, bed sharing

Post-canon fic

Friendship

Hurt/comfort, either emotional or physical

Happy, or at least hopeful, endings

Dislikes:

Non-con

Cheating

Dark fic

Excessive angst

Teacher/student dynamics in any form (high school, college, whatever. just...no)

Character bashing

Love triangles (unless they're already canon)

Fandom Specifics

1. The Hating Game - Sally Thorne
Characters: Josh Templeton, Lucy Hutton

Request:

I'd love to see the story from Josh's point of view. I'm a sucker for pining, so seeing Josh just being absolutely crazy about Lucy, dumping his girlfriend because he just couldn't get this girl out of his head, falling into this love/hate fuckbuddy relationship because he'll take any part of Lucy that he could get, would be amazing.
I'd also take a post-book story where we see their relationship after they've gotten together. What does it look like when they can finally be honest about their feelings? Does Lucy help Josh reconcile with his father? What do Lucy's parents do when they meet Josh for the first time, after hearing all of Lucy's bad stories about him?
This is a fandom where I'd also be open to AUs, Christmas/holiday stories, college AUs, etc.

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
The aforementioned idea of showing the story of the book from Josh's point of view. If you started even before the canon, when Josh first meets Lucy and is just punched in the face by how much he likes this girl, that'd be great.

Prompt 2:
A scene we didn't get to see between the two of them before they got their shit together. More pining and sex and repressing feelings that they think are unrequited. Basically, I'm in the mood for lots of pining this Yuletide, and the dynamic between these two is so great that I want to see it played out more.

Prompt 3:
Josh meets Lucy's parents and has to prove he's not the asshole she's made him out to be. What's it like when he finally goes to the strawberry farm that he's heard so much about?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. It - Stephen King
Characters: Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak

Request:

Horror stories scare me, but I read this whole, insane book because I am a HUGE sucker for found family stories. And it kind of hits me right in the heart the idea that these people have had the families they've always needed, but they've completely forgotten them.
As for Richie and Eddie - feel free to change the ending as you see fit. Eddie's canonical demise was greatly exaggerated. It would be great to watch Richie slowly rediscover what Eddie meant to him, and realize that the reason he's been so unhappy in his fancy life is because he's been in love with this dumb kid, even if he can't remember it.
Feel free to bring any of the other Losers into it. And if you want to retell Stan's ending as well, I wouldn't be mad about it, but the focus should be on Richie and Eddie, which is why they're the only two characters listed.
I want so much pining, so much assumed unrequited love. This is a fandom where you can definitely lay it on thick, because all of the characters are already so messed up. If you could write a story where, somehow, Eddie sees how much his 'death' fucks up Richie before miraculously coming back to life, that would be great too. Richie kissing Eddie as he's leaving, etc.
I've also seen both movies and the 1990 mini-series, so I'm familiar and amenable to all extended canon.
DNW: Any kind of AU, except for ones where Eddie and/or Stan survive. I like these characters, but the part that calls to me is their shared trauma and the bond that they have with each other. Also DNW a sad/angsty ending. Make it as angsty as you want throughout! Messy crying is highly encouraged! Just make 'em happy at the end.

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
(gen) Group road trip or something where they all decide, after they've killed the clown, to actually enjoy themselves and get to know each other again. I'd even go for them deciding to play Truth or Dare like they were 12 years old again. I would just like all of the Losers sharing secrets and getting each other back. I will also take this with just Richie and Eddie, since they are the only characters I've listed in my request.

Prompt 2:
All of the memories and feelings don't immediately come back to Richie. It's a slow realization of exactly who Eddie was to him and how Richie feels about him. We get to see Richie's whole, fucked up life start to make sense as he understands what he's been missing all this time without Eddie (and all of the other Losers).

Prompt 3:
Post-canon, Eddie can survive or magically be brought back, and there's pining and crying and unrequited love as both Eddie and Richie try to deal with their clown-and-Derry-related issues.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. The Kiss Quotient - Helen Hoang
Characters: Stella Lane, Michael Phan

Request:

I loved every. single. thing. about this book, but especially the lessons between Stella and Michael. I just want more of that. Like I'd take a whole second book's worth of Michael showing Stella how to do something sexual and just being endlessly charmed by her.
It would be great to see their lessons continue after they've gotten together, but obviously in a more playful and intimate manner. Michael proving to Stella how much he really does love her, how attracted to her he is, would be great.
I love Stella's point of view: her very analytical mind, how strongly she feels for Michael. I basically just want to see more of these two together, in any setting and in any way that I can get them.

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
Michael teaches Stella how to _____. Another teaching scene, please! The combination of how hot the whole thing is and how patient and smitten Michael clearly is with Stella the whole time makes me so happy. I have reread every one of those scenes a 100 times and I want 100 more of them.

Prompt 2:
Michael teaches Stella how to make love. After they finally get together by the end of the book, they have sex again, but it's not just sex this time. It's tender and sweet. Stella has never had this, and truthfully Michael hasn't really either, but he's desperate to try and give this to Stella to show her how he feels about her.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

4. Much Ado About Nothing (2011)
Characters: Beatrice, Benedick, Don Pedro

Request:

I'm OBSESSED with this production - just, every single thing about it. I want so much fic about it that I honestly don't even know where to start.
So first of all, I'll take Benedick/Beatrice or Benedick/Beatrice/Don Pedro or gen. I'd love to see what the hell happened between Benedick and Beatrice that led them to this place where they are so antagonistic towards one another, but also still so obviously in love. I mean, it's pretty clear that Benedick messed up somewhere, but when? How? I'd also love to see them after the wedding, and how what their relationship looks like now that they are together.
As for Don Pedro - the poor Prince needs some love. I'm very into the idea of him being in love with both Benedick and Beatrice and being really depressed that his scheme has worked the way he knew it was. Then being confused when suddenly the happy couple seems to turn their interest towards him...Beatrice and Benedick putting their considerable charms into seducing Don Pedro and giving him back a bit of his own medicine would be fantastic.
I'll say again: pining. I desire so much pining and banter. You can feel free to do your best with the Shakespearean language or go full Rozencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead with it.

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1:
How did Beatrice and Benedick meet in the first place? What went wrong? What went right?

Prompt 2:
Beatrice and Benedick set about seducing a lovelorn Don Pedro. He's the only one not happy by the end of the play. We already know he wanted to marry Beatrice, and that Benedick is one of his closest friends. So maybe it's more than that. Maybe he's in love with both of them and kicking himself for getting them together. But he saw the way they were around each other and Beatrice had already rejected him, so he thought he might as well make the two of them happy, even if it was without him.

Prompt 3:
Beatrice and Benedick post-wedding. I want to see them verbally sparring with each other when they both totally know that they're going to have sex after.

Dear Yuletide Letter 2018

posted on: The 7th of October, 2018 @ 9:25am

First Of All

Thank you for writing for me, anon! Yuletide is, without a doubt, one of the biggest highlights of my year, and I'm sure I will love anything you write for me. But since you're here, you're obviously looking for specifics, so I'll do my best to explain myself. If you're interested in looking at the fic I've written myself for Yuletide or in general, you can find that here. If you are worried, dear author, that we matched on the one fandom I wasn't super into, let me alleviate that angst right now. There is no lesser one here. I am really fond of them all.

General Likes/Dislikes

Likes:

UST (preferably resolved)

Pining, someone falling in love with someone else despite trying not to, falling in love and thinking it's not reciprocated

Miscommunication

Intimacy: kissing, hand holding, snuggling, bed sharing

Many of my fandoms this year are about teenagers, so I would love college AUs or future fic

Friendship

Hurt/comfort, either emotional or physical

Happy, or at least hopeful, endings

Dislikes:

Non-con

Cheating

Dark fic

Excessive angst

Teacher/student dynamics in any form (high school, college, whatever. just...no)

Character bashing

Love triangles (unless they're already canon)

Underage sex (I want to be specific on this, because several of my canons are about underaged characters. Sex is fine, sex is GREAT! -- just age them up, please! Get 'em out of high school? We're golden.)

Fandom Specifics

1. To All The Boys I've Loved Before (2018)
Characters: Josh Sanderson, Lara Jean Song-Covey, Peter Kavinsky

Request:
I have never read the book series, but this movie so completely charmed me. It had all of my favorite tropes: fake dating, secret mutual pining, opposites attracting. I love how kind and relatable and brave Lara Jean is. I really loved her relationship with her sisters and how well that was portrayed. Peter was the perfect romantic comedy lead, teen or not. Josh got dealt a terrible hand by the end, but he never became cruel and was always so respectful of the sisters.

I'd love to see so many things with this fandom. I'd be happy seeing what Lara Jean and Peter's relationship is like after they get together. I'd also love a college or adult AU for these two to see how you can make if work if they're 19 or 25 or whatever.

I would also really enjoy seeing Josh get a happy ending, even if that might come after high school. It would be great if he remained friends with all the girls, but Lara Jean especially. And if you think you could come up with a story where the two of them end up together years down the line, I would completely be up for it.

All three characters are not all required together, depending on the prompt.

(Sex is awesome and encouraged - I'm all for it! But please age up the characters if that's your jam!)

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1: Lara Jean/Peter - What's their first date like when they both know it's a date? Does it somehow become weird...until it isn't? Does Peter crank up the charm now that he knows Lara Jean likes him back, just because it makes him happy to see her happy and he likes to watch her blush? She kept rebuffing him before, but now he's free to do all the dorky things he wanted to do, because she likes him back. Fluff, please! The adorabler, the better.

Prompt 2: Lara Jean/Peter - College AU where Lara Jean is a shy freshman who is determined to make the most of college after being a wallflower in high school. And fine, maybe she followed Josh to university - not really ever hoping, but kind of hoping, you know? But he's been there a year already, and he's got a new girlfriend. Lara Jean is feeling pretty pathetic, especially when Josh wants to show her around the campus like his kid sister. She meets Peter in one of her classes. He just broke up with is girlfriend, but he needs to pretend to have a new one in order to impress the guys in the frat he's rushing...

Prompt 3: Lara Jean/Josh - Lara Jean gets conned into going to her 10 year high school reunion, even though she's single and really doesn't want to go. Josh, always the good guy, agrees to be her date. Maybe she and Peter split up ambicably years ago. She still considers him a friend, but she doesn't exactly what to go out of her way to see him with his wonderful new wife. Thank goodness for Josh, saving her again.

Prompt 4: Lara Jean/Peter - The story from Peter's POV. I'd love to see how his feelings for Lara Jean evolve over the course of the events of the movie. When does it hit him that he likes her, not his ex-girlfriend?

Prompt 5: Operation Give Josh A Happy Ending. Making him straight, make him gay, make him bi, make him whatever, just make him happy. Let's see him untangle his feelings for those Covey girls and move on with his life. I'd love for him to remain friends with them, but maybe that's something that will take a little time.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. Love Simon (2018)
Characters: Simon Spier, Bram Greenfeld

Request:
I want to see more of Simon and Bram together. Maybe more of their emails to one another, maybe what it's like for them navigating being out at school, maybe Bram meeting Simon's family. Seeing the events of the story through Bram's eyes would be interesting as well. Has he had a crush on Simon the whole time? How did he feel when he realized who he was talking to?

I'd also take a college or adult AU for this pairing. Not sure how you'd make it work, but I would love to see anything you'd come up with!

(Sex is awesome and encouraged - I'm all for it! But please age up the characters if that's your jam!)

This was a short request, not because I want it any less than the others, but because I want something so specific. The other characters in this movie were fine -- especially Simon's mother and his group of friends -- but I am mostly interested in his relationship with Bram. I think it's because we get so little time with them together. I really want to explore that more! This particular canon, I think, also lends itself well to other secret admirer-type stories.

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1: Simon/Bram - Love, Bram. The story from his perspective. When did he realize it was Simon he was talking to? Has he had a crush on him? Was he excited, nervous? What's his family like? Who did he tell besides Simon? What was it like sitting next to Simon and watching him try to figure out who Blue was, while Bram was right there all along?

Prompt 2: Simon/Bram - Their first holiday celebrations as a couple. I'd love to see Simon's family interact with Bram. I found the dynamic between Simon and both of his parents really interesting, and it would be great to see them try to be supportive, and maybe go a little overboard in their attempt to make Bram feel welcome.

Prompt 3: Simon, now out and in college, has got himself a secret admirer.

Prompt 4: Simon and Bram try a little PDA. Going from being closeted and secret even from each other to being the couple that everyone is gossiping about must be a huge change. But there's probably something thrilling and a little scary about holding hands in public, going to football games together, etc. I'd love to see a story about the two of them navigating this new world. Helping each other when it gets overwhelming. Some h/c could be good here too.

I was going to keep writing prompts, but honestly they all just sort of end up being AU or crossover ideas, which I think this canon is also perfect for: Simon and Bram on the Starship Enterprise! Simon and Bram, but they're traveling in the TARDIS! Simon and Bram, but they're both doctors! Or working in the university library. Or actors. Or Avengers. Or, or, or...

I also really love the epistolary format of the story, so that incorporated into the story would be great as well.

What it comes down to is that I really wanted more of them together, in any way you want to do it. Could be a prequel, sequel, retelling, AU, crossover, whatever. I am totally game here.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. Billy Elliot (2000)
Characters: Billy Elliot, Michael Caffrey

Request:
I want to see Billy and Michael and the way that their relationship evolves as they grow up and pursue different paths. They obviously remain at least friends into their adulthood, so what's that been like? I'd love to see them eventually get together, but I do think that it would be something that would take some time. Billy seems generally unsure about his sexuality in the movie and the musical, so it would probably take some time for him to come to terms with being bi-sexual, gay, or whatever. I'm sure getting out of Everington and going to dance school would help that process along.

But I'm also interested in Michael's journey. In the movie he's a very quiet, contemplative character. In the musical, he's more outgoing and sure of who he is. Feel free to use either variation on the character, as I love them both. The epilogue of the movie implies that he got out of Everington. How does that happen? And where does Billy fit in? Does he inspire Michael to pursue his own dreams?

(Sex is awesome and encouraged - I'm all for it! But please age up the characters if that's your jam!)

So for the previous two fandoms, I'm not familiar with the novelizations they were based off of. With this movie, though, I am also very familiar with the musical that came after. I enjoy each version an equal amount, so focusing on the movie is fantastic, but just know if you throw in any Easter eggs from the play, I'll understand them too.

I see Billy as someone who had so much on his plate with caring about the well-being of his family and his town, and falling in love with dancing at the same time -- all while being so young -- that he never really thought about his feelings for boys/girls. He seems genuinely surprised and slightly uncomfortable when Debbie and Michael show interest in him. I'd like to see him figure all of that stuff out.

Optional Prompts Are Optional:

Prompt 1: Billy/Michael - Every summer, Billy goes back home to Everington, and it becomes tradition that he and Michael sneak back into the center so that Billy can teach Michael some more of his moves. Over the years, it starts to feel different...

Prompt 2: Billy/Michael or gen - Billy in dance school. The disconnect between his northern mining town and this posh southern dance school must be so huge. How does he cope? Does he make friends? Bond with any of his instructors? In some ways it probably feels totally alien, but in others, probably like coming home.

Prompt 3: Billy/Michael or gen - What's Michael's life like after Billy leaves? How does he pass the time? I like to think that he uses Billy as his inspiration to get himself out Everington as well. Maybe he heads to London to study fashion. Somehow he gets out, if the epilogue is anything to go by. So what leads him to that place, and what's his relationship like with Billy through all of it?

Prompt 4: Billy/Michael or gen - While Billy is at home he talks to his brother about dating, being careful with his pronouns. But Tony isn't stupid. He remembers that kiss between Billy and Michael, and sees how they are together. And while he might not love the idea of Billy being a poof, he's long ago came to realize that, in the midst of all this fucking misery around them, he'd do anything to see his weird kid brother be happy.
