yuletide letter
Emily of New Moon.
I really want Emily to be happy! I never realised how weird the Dean stuff is unti I reread as an adult, so I'd rather that either not be mentioned or have Emily acknowledging it as something negative. I would either like Emily on her own, finding herself away from New Moon - maybe she goes travelling - or Emily with Teddy. But I definitely want it to feel like Emily is leading it - I don't want Emily just becoming 'Teddy's wife' - or, maybe she feels like she is and she's struggling with this loss of her own strong identity? Either way, I ultimately want Emily to be happy and bonus points for Ilse still being around and a close friend (I do not care about Perry). In terms of squicks, basically I would just like this to be wholesome - so no non-con, dub-con, mpreg, etc. I am sure I will like whatever you write.
ALSO I WOULD LOVE A MODERN DAY AU FOR THIS. Maybe Emily at college! Maybe just Emily existing in the current year! Maybe Emily and Teddy fake dating because her aunts are trying to set her up! Or to get his mom off his back. Or maybe her dealing with what happened to her with Dean in the Me Too era unless that's super weird. I do love tropes, so do feel free to go your own way if you have any strong ideas.

For the MQ gang, I would like it Poppy-centric, please! Ideally no Ian/Poppy in a romantic way, but definitely platonic. It can be season 2 compliant or take place beforehand. Maybe show me a past Everlight - I would love that! Ideally nothing Covid related please - the show's moved past that and I'd like that, too. I'm not super interested in the new studio/game, as I assume we'll see that, but it could be Poppy dealing with her MQ damage or figuring out a plan to work with Ian moving forwards. As long as Poppy is happy in the end, I will love it. As above, nothing heavy, please (or at least a happy ending).
For Doc and Bean, honestly, anything you'd like. I do find Bean more interesting as we saw a lot of Doc's journey on the show. Maybe about her family? Is she still in game development? If you're into games, is she releasing on itch.io? What's her journey? If you're not, that's fine too - how does she talk about her past? Is she open about it? Does she still look at the subreddit for A Dark Quiet Death or has she moved on? Anything more about these characters, I would love - and for this one, given the nature of the episode, it doesn't need to be happy. Quiet, sad, angsty, are all good too.

I'm not sure we'll have matched on this one as I realise it's pretty specific but I did recently get into Mary-Anne/Charlie Thomas as a rarepair and I really love them. There's something so nice about falling for someone who's been there all your life. They could reconnect, or they could have stayed in touch. Is Kristy okay with it, or do Mary-Anne and Kristy have to work something out there? You could tell me how Mary-Anne and Charlie got together, or maybe they're already together and working out what that looks like for them. Maybe they're going home to Stoneybrooke as a couple for the first time. Anything to do with these two together, I would love. I'm also not too bothered about canon settings so feel free to modernise if you want.
Thank you.
