longwhitecoatsDear Yuletide writer,
Thanks for writing for me! Yuletide is always a highlight of my year. Please do observe my DNWs below (identical to those in my signup), but apart from those, this letter is intended more as inspiration than request. The story you most want to write is the story I most want to read.
Likes:
In general, I like: unusual prose formats; road trips; heists; stories with happy endings; comfort fic and fluff; both plotless porn and porn with plot; casefic; queer stuff; genre pastiches; and found family.
In porn, I like: bondage; gags; sensation play; dominant/submissive power dynamics; xeno and monsterfucking; gangbangs, anal sex, oral sex, and multiple penetration; and talking, including dirty talk, begging, and enthusiastic consent.
DNWs:
My general DNWs (Do Not Wants) are: Teenagers or younger people having sex; omegaverse; mpreg; pregnancy depicted or mentioned; stories that focus on young children; real-world politics or wars; issuefic; dubcon or noncon; animal harm; teeth injury; torture.
Treats:
I would be delighted to receive treats.
It's all television this year: I'm requesting The Acolyte, Dark, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and True Detective: Night Country.
NB: Each of the canon-specific requests below contains significant spoilers for that canon.
Star Wars: The Acolyte
Characters: Osha Aniseya, Qimir | The Stranger (Star Wars); My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set).
I think they should kiss in a problematic, fucked-up way <3
This was SUCH a well-done tragedy -- Osha killing Sol absolutely broke my heart, and at the same time it felt like the inevitable conclusion to their relationship. I loved seeing Osha desperately cling to the shreds of her love for the jedi even as everything she learned threatened to destroy her understanding of them and of herself; I loved seeing Qimir shift from merely manipulating Osha for his own ends to genuinely connecting with her as an equal. I think Osha did what she did of her own free will, and now what the fuck is she going to do?
Possible prompts:
- Remorse! Regret! Osha tearfully realizing what she's done and seeking comfort in Qimir, who gently reassures her that murder is fine :) and anyone who tries to limit your power or control you is evil and probably deserved it :) DELICIOUS. MORE TEARS PLEASE.
- Conversely, rage and determination: maybe Osha decides she's going to fully commit to joining Qimir and the Sith in wiping out the jedi. CUE TRAINING MONTAGE, EVIL-STYLES. Also ten million more hours of the breathplay/mindplay in the sensory deprivation helmet because what the fuck was that?! (hot, it was hot)
- I do enjoy the Jedi characters who were nominated in this fandom so please also feel free to pepper in some backstory about Qimir's or Osha's experience in Jedi training if you like. (Yord clearly knew him!)
- Qimir POV: what is he feeling for Osha? What told him he could bring her to his side? What is the PLAN? Extra bonus points if he knows somewhere deep down that dragging her into rage and darkness will destroy her, actually, and he doesn't want that to happen to her, but he's torn between his feelings for her and his lust for power + fear of his Sith lord. OM NOM NOM. ANGST, I LOVE IT.
- O b v i o u s l y I am here for Weird-Ass Sith Fuckin'. Force dreams! Fights that turn into sex! Sex that turns into fights! Any kind of shenanigans with bondage, denial, discipline, and painplay will MAKE MY DAY. GO HOG WILD.
Dark (TV 2017)
Characters: Jonas Kahnwald, Claudia Tiedemann; My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice).
The thing about a time loop is that you have to experience it.
I love many of the characters in this show, but I picked these two because I love their vantage points the most: Jonas, the unwilling but tenacious traveler; Claudia, the scientist whose slow but steady analysis eventually frees them all. I feel like I'm still chewing on what it is that this show wants to tell us. Is it that life is suffering? Is it that the Garden of Eden was actually hell, and leaving it was a relief? Is it that nuclear power cannot save an ethically bankrupt society unless that society itself changes? I don't know that there's a right answer; I'd love to see your interpretation.
Possible prompts:
- What were the quiet moments of those time loops like, for either of these characters? What does it feel like to go around again and again? What does that do to a person's psyche, and are you even the same person at the end?
- This feels like a good canon for found objects. What's actually in that journal? What's in the backpacks they're carrying? What does that say about them?
- If you're interested in doing something a little more immersive with this via Interactive Fiction, I would love that.
이상한 변호사 우영우 | Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Characters: Lee Jun Ho (Extraordinary Attorney Woo), Woo Young Woo; My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set).
Never have I been more excited to see how a couple navigates their happy ending.
I love these two and their adorable faces SO MUCH. Jun-ho is so steady and sweet and he loves Young-woo SO much, and I was absolutely yelling at the screen when they broke up ;____; so I was over the moon when they got back together. I love that the show lets things be difficult for them, like learning what they want their dates to be like, or Young-woo having to remember to think of Jun-ho's feelings when she calls him instead of just seeing his face & immediately hanging up. It's so important to me that Jun-ho actively enjoys the things that are weird about Young-woo and encourages them rather than merely tolerating them, especially her love for whales. And I love how Young-woo's unusual behavior and perspective gradually change the people around her for the better -- how Su-yeon begins to think of herself as kind and brave (which she is!!), Myung-seok makes friends with Geurami & Hairy Boss and remembers what real life is like, and even Min-woo decides that being a little foolish like Young-woo is worth it to be with the person you care about. It's just such a warm, beautiful show <3
Possible prompts:
- This is one of those fandoms where I just want MORE, so if you feel like writing another casefic with a side bonus of Young-woo and Jun-ho going on dates, I would absolutely love that. I do ship Min-woo and Su-yeon disaster styles, so feel free to include them in the background, or indeed any of the main cast. (I do not know anything about Korean law so, like, don't stress about details.)
- MAGICAL WHALE TIMES: My partner & I were talking about what our blorbos would do if they swapped universes with each other, and I was struggling to imagine how Young-woo would cope with leading the Avengers, and then my partner said, "I'm imagining the end of Avengers: Endgame, where Young-woo hears Sam's voice in her ear saying 'On your left,' and then just an entire blue whale comes through the portal." I SCREECHED. Do you want to write Extraordinary Superhero Woo? Or some other magical AU with whale powers??? I am very here for that. I think Jun-ho would make an adorable super sidekick.
- I super duper ship Jun-ho and Young-woo, so I would LOVE any relationship fic you want to write! I love fluff and would be delighted if you want to write some silly dates; conversely, I'm super down if you want to write about them figuring out the physical side of their romance. This is a ship that I think really lends itself to kink -- like, I can totally imagine Jun-ho just trying out different sensations of temperature and texture on Young-woo's skin to see which are good and which are bad. OR perhaps Young-woo is secretly into sexy whale roleplay!! Whatever you write it will not be too weird for me, I promise.
- By the way I ALSO LOVE WHALES, so any amount of whale facts you want to include = A+++. I love Moby Dick. You could basically be this tweet and I would be into it.
True Detective: Night Country
Characters: Evangeline Navarro (True Detective: Night Country), Liz Danvers (True Detective: Night Country); My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)
What is the aftermath, in a world like this?
One episode before the finale, I was bewildered trying to figure out how they were going to wrap this show satisfyingly, and then damn, they delivered. I love that the mystery both played fair and retained the enigmatic worldbuild at the same time that the main characters' arcs resolved. Truly chef's kiss. And yet, there's so much fallout from what happened, right? There has to be, what with the mine, and Angie and Liz both grieving, and all the politics, and let us not forget, the thing that flash-froze those guys in the ice. I don't for a minute believe that anything here will be easy. It seemed like the dead had a lot of business with Angie; are they really going to let her go?
Possible prompts:
- Anything you want to write about Liz and Angie investigating the more supernatural side of their town would be great. I love digging into backstory & I love stories about people healing from grief; I would love seeing them slowly do that, especially together.
- I totally ship this, not in spite of their thorns but because of them. Angie and Liz are both super! fucked! up! in different directions that frequently make them clash; what is it like now that the case is closed? Is it better because it's not between them? Is it worse because they need to be chasing a case in order to know how to interact? All I know is Angie is apparently living at that lakehouse and I think she and Liz should fuck about it.
- If you want to do casefic and/or additional dives into the worldbuild with these two, I am all for it -- I love seeing them put the pieces together. Part of what made the show so magnetic for me was the atmosphere, and I would adore something equally cold and snowy and dark.
That's all! Thank you, writer, and happy Yuletide.
Bestest,
