Yuletide 2023
Oct. 16th, 2023 12:20 pmDear Yulewriter,
I am dipping my toe into requesting again after a few years of just writing as a pinch hitter. I'll be delighted with anything for my fandoms, but here's a few prompts to get you started:
General dislikes: I'd rather avoid sex-related tropes and kinks this time (mentioning sex and relationships is all right, just no detailed sequences or sex-centered setups like A/B/O). Humiliation is very much a don't, in both sexual and non-sexual contexts.
The Green Bone Saga - Fonda Lee - Kaul Hiloshudon
I'd love anything with a young / pre-Pillar Hilo. That phase where he's reckless and pin-sharp and knows he can fall back on his brother and grandfather. Shenanigans, plotting, an early conflict with Ayt and her Horn and Fists? I love the Maiks of course, and Lan and Shae and Emery and really everyone, so whoever you feel like featuring. The flashback in Jade Legacy is my favourite part of the books. Alternately, older Hilo recalling those days and reflecting how much he had to change as Pillar? Dad!Hilo is always good too, with anything from newborns to argumentative people in their 20s who are far too much like him for comfort.
The Shadow Campaigns - Django Wexler - Janus bet Vhalnich and Winter Ihernglass
I love the way their brains work both separately and together. Just make them interact and I'll be happy. Maybe talking about a hypothetical future? Or their respective special traits? Gender as a concept? Or drop them somewhere they have to fight their way out of with their brains. Like a court intrigue.
云之羽 | My Journey to You (TV) - Gong Yuanzhi
I love the irascible poison genius fashion plate goblin to bits, so I'll be happy with any story centered on him. New illness or interesting poison threatening the compound? He needs something from Zishang or Ziyu and has to play nice to get it? I absolutely adore his dynamics with Shangguang Qian so more of their verbal sparring / her attempts to flirt would be delightful, especially if it's post-show and she's pregnant (or is she?) or dealing with a baby. Yuanzhi's bedside manner and research habits would be a great five things and one subject. Or is he really one of the people not allowed to interact with the outside world? Because he and Shangjue tracking down Wufeng plots in the jianghu would be delightful too.
Jianghu-wise for crossover potential, I'm most familiar with The Untamed/MDZS and other MXTX novels, Nirvana in Fire and Word of Honour. Feel free to bring in OCs as well if needed. Like, Yuanzhi has to have a tailor for all those fancy outfits...
(Please note that while I see the potential for a sexual or romantic relationship with Gong Shangjue, I don't want to deal with it in this story. Enmeshed and emotionally codependent, yes please.)
苍兰诀 | Love Between Fairy and Devil (TV) - Dongfang Qingcang and Dongfang Xunfeng
Are you getting a theme for sibling dynamics here? I'm an only child but I do like reading about family issues. Xunfeng is such a delightful bundle of said issues, related to his dad and otherwise. Feel free to set it whenever - pre-imprisonment, mirroring reflections during said imprisonment, Xunfeng's various plots, or the thwack he must have given Qingcang over the head when he finally reincarnated. If you don't want to write introspection, just drop them in some sort of trouble - mundane or magical - and let's see how they deal with being forced to work together to find their way out. Or maybe Qingcang turns the tables and tries being the mastermind to force Xunfeng to do his bidding for once?
Fandom specific DNW: Please no redeeming their father or making Qingcang in particular forgive him. The whole arc where he explicitly doesn't was cathartic for me.
All other cast appearances welcome. Someone probably needs to knock their heads together anyway. Again, no incest please.
