Dear YT writer... I love you already!
Dear Yuletide writer,
I am very excited for this year! It's a mixed bag of fandoms this year! The New, The Kinda New, and the old! This is my 8th or 9th year now, so let me just say I look forward to Yuletide so much as a part of my year. The experience is always worth it and I love everything about this wonderful exchange, so THANK YOU for participating!
Things you should know about me in general when i enjoy fic.
I love characters being in-character! Nothing shakes me out of a fic faster than not adhering to how the character would react in a situation. If you want to explore an AU, alternate-timeline, crossover or whatever i'm totally all for that so long as you keep the characters true to themselves. For these prompts I am asking for a wide variety of fic depending on the prompt, I'd prefer to avoid gen as I have an intimacy!kink and i love when characters are vulnerable and share with others. I'm usually good with any rating. :)
So, without further ado, I'll break down the different fandoms
If you are here for
Fandom: Dark Matter
Requested Character(s): Three|Marcus Boone, Android (Dark Matter)
This show has quickly evolved into one of my favorites.
Last year I only wanted Android fic, and this year Three has won my heart!
I am terribly shippy and I just LOVE how three and Android have evolved from two characters who were very abrupt with each other to ones that can't quite put a finger on how they feel about each other. Three has developed an attachment to Android and it's killing me. The moment I knew I loved Three was when he told Android to not bother going back to factory settings, cause he just got used to her this way. (oh three, you're such a kind soul! haha) and when he said "no one messes with my robot" that's it. That was it. There. That. That's what I want.
Android fell for it too. Remember when she was slightly obsessed with how tight the clone suits were when they took the transport pods? haha that. I need that.
From my sign up:
I love the weird curiosity/flirtation between The Android and Three. I was pretty much set on them from when Three gets all possessive of The Android and wanting to protect her from being wiped and I was stuck on The Android being flirtatious when she noticed how tight Three's bodysuit was
I'd love to see some awkward Robot flirting and some reciprocating from Three (whether he genuinely wants to admit it, awkwardly backhandedly flirts or feels oodles of guilt over it since she is an Android--and not even a sexbot! is up to you....i will welcome all of it) how far you take this ship is up to you but if you can give me some hilarious flirting i will be MOST HAPPY AND GRATEFUL omg *heart eyes* i also would really dig it if Android almost tricked Three into having sex with her and he kind went with it even if he suspected it to be a lie because he is SO WEIRDLY ATTRACTED TO HER AND HE IS NOT WILLING TO OPENLY ADMIT IT OKAY? wow, honestly all of it would be hilarious and adorable . i'm open to fluff and awkwardness and both of them being bad ass.
So YT writer, I already love you but if you write this for me I would love to see a story where maybe Three and Android get physical. Kissing? Cuddling? Sharing bunks? What do the others say (do they even notice?) I bet Five does. She always sees everything. Maybe she sees too much! (omg what WOULD she say) and how would Android confront everyone about it. (she's so straight forward so yeah that'll be interesting!)
It can be awkward, romantic, fluffy, honorable (maybe they save each other somehow?) but I would LOVELOVELOVE a shippy piece focused on their strange connection to each other.
So let me first say that if none of this floats your boat and you have a cool idea, totally roll with it. I love sassy, weirdly loyal, conflicted Three and how Android shares so much of his basic qualities minus the hostility and broodiness. I would love to see that relationship fleshed out in whatever format works for you.
Yuleporn friendly if that's your thing!
If you're here for
Fandom: Gladiator (2000)
Requested Character(s): Annia Aurelia Galeria Lucilla, Maximus Decimus Meridius
From my sign up:
Was there anything sadder than all of those longing glances from Lucilla towards Maximus?
Every word spoken between them was a tragedy, a happiness that could never be.
I'd love to read a fic where Maximus is still in Marcus Aurelius' favor as General and he really gets to know Lucilla. I'd love to read about Lucilla being young and confident and throwing herself at him in some very subtle ways that only Maximus would recognize.
Let me read about the love affair and happiness that neither ended up with!
(dearest writer, i'm okay with you foregoing an explanation for maximus' wife, or absence of wife but I'd rather not read about adultery... so if it's from their youthful days let them be flirtatious without hooking up, or if it's canon divergent then anything goes! all i ask is that there is no hate towards his wife/family and that it's all very respectful and he honors his vows --only coming close to being tempted to break them--) I'm also very very okay with canon divergent where maximus and lucilla somehow make things work, or if you stay true to canon... lucilla uses her private time with maximus for sooooooooooooooooooo much good and that they make the guards jealous *G*

If you're here for
Fandom: The Huntsman (Movies)
Character(s): Freya, Sara
Summary
Hello YT writer!
If you matched me on this fandom, i'm already loving you unconditionally because you love this film too. (so underrated!)
I watched the entire film going "omg freya is so completely emotionally damaged......my bb" she's so messed up since her sister Ravenna ruined her life and took away her chance at a family and love and made her the Ice Queen that she is.
She's created an army for herself and a cut-throat set of special forces called 'the huntsman' and Sara is a stand out for her. The look of betrayal on Freya's face as Sara chose Erik. That ruined me. It also fueled my femslash loving little heart.
Sara had to go back to Freya after thinking that Erik left her. I need more of this angle. How did Freya continue to manipulate Sara and how did Sara begin to twist away from her control. I would love to read more about this. I'm all up for all kinds of fem!dom, manipulative, D/s or even Sara following orders but secretly plotting against Freya.
If you aren't into those dark themes, even just a story that focuses on the strange unhealthy relationship between Freya and her best huntsman would make me so happy. I think Sara has become Freya's focus and she needs Sara for emotional and physical comfort and I'd love to see that angle.
Again, I"M NOT SURE HOW THIS HAPPENED but i'm back into loving the emotionally damaged characters who just need some cuddles or whatever.
From my sign up:
I'd love to read a fic where we learn to what extent Freya has emotionally manipulated Sara. I'd love to read how Freya projects her trauma and suffering onto Sara and to what extent Sara was manipulated and how she began the long road to break free of the toxic relationship with Freya.
I'd love to read a conflicted Sara who is part kind/loving towards Freya and part prisoner/deadly assassin loyal to freya to a fault. Freya who she recognizes as mad with need for revenge and self preservation but who also needs constant support. Is Sara the only one who is allowed to hug Freya? To speak closely without worry of retribution? does Freya dine with Sara and the other chosen warriors? does Sara finding herself devoted and defensive of Freya even though somewhere inside she still knows that she much escape with the others? Is there a toxic physical relationship that fills a need for intimacy between both women? How does her last night before her escape go? I'm just really curious here. I'd love it if it was romantically inclined (consensual, dubcon or noncon) or just platonic/friendship/loyalty i'd just love to read more about this strange bond they have and how life in Freya's ice palace was for her and Sara
Things I like if you want to go darker: femdom, non 24/7 D/s, toys, temperature play (if you write anything NC17 that involves freya using icicle/ice play with sara i will AWARD YOU TWO INTERNETS!), first time (maaaan i'm a sucker for first time), intimacy, teasing, orgasm denial, blindfolds, bondage, spanking, and dirty talk
please no scat/watersports, gore, gratuitous violence, character death or character bashing
Yuleporn and friendly (if that's your thing!)
If you're here for
Fandom: The Borgias (2011)
Character(s): Cesara Borgia
From this year's sign up:
I've asked for this fandom a number of years before because it's still just a wonderful sexy fandom!
First and foremost i love cesare in all his bad ass leather clad glory. Part time Cardinal. Full time bad ass.
From my sign up:
So, like a *lot* of people.. I'm *kinda* in love with Cesare...mostly to the point that I can't even pinpoint what I'd actually like to see out of a fic with him.
So I've narrowed down that I'd like to read a fic where Cesare can pretty much do anything. He could focus on daddy!issues (he has a lot of them), or love on his sister (emotionally and/or physically...incest? sure!), or fuck married women (or Micheletto!) and I'd be soooooooo good with it... with only one catch, that his tight leather pants are mentioned. (and maybe his gorgeous hair)
So let me summarize. Cesare + anyone + leather pants= EPIC WIN
**mega bonus points if you mention his beautiful hair***
Omg i'm reusing an old prompt from old YT because every year i put it on here cause I will ALWAYS want more Cesare prancing around in leather pants. But this year i'm thinking.. WHAT IF HE GETS A NEW TAILOR, and the TAILOR WHO MAKES HIS LEATHER PANTS HAS AN APPRENTICE WHO IS WICKED HOT and he MAKES OUT AND SEDUCES HIM IN ORDER TO STEAL LEATHER PANTS INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR THEM (or are they on the house? or is the tailor some sexy old man who gets handsy with Cesare in his leather pants during fittings and micheletto notices and says something? (kinda like on friends when Chandler sends joey to his Tailor and there is CUPPAGE) ahahhaa I don't know but let me tell you I never tire of asking for swaggering Cesare in leather.
any rating is good! gen/het/slash... let your mind go wild! optional details are optional but please no scat/mpreg or watersports
If you add any type of comment about lucrezia and micheletto remarking on his leather pants or cesare talking about his wardrobe like a clothes horse I will award you the Internet
For a Yuleporn prompt, if you have cesare with a leather kink self-loving in leather pants and either micheletto or lucrezia finding out.... I will award you two internets
Basically I'm up for a lot of scenarios, especially ones where cesare is hot, sexy and hitting on someone (i've always loved how both micheletto and lucrezia both just know how rogue-ish he is) . I'd prefer shippy fic in any rating (anything from fluff/teasing to hardcore kink/fetish is all up for grabs here)
for kinkier themes i like: non 24/7 D/s, dirty talk, spanking, self love, fingering, cunnilingus, threesomes, blindfolds, toys, bondage, rough sex, teasing, roleplaying
please no character bashing, watersports or scat play, or character death
Yuleporn friendly! (if that's your thing!)
Lol thank you friend! I know I have flooded you with ideas but I will love what you come up with!
If you're here for
Fandom: Rome 2005
Requested Character(s): Atia of the Julii
from my sign up:
I recently watched this entire series and was blown away by the depth of Atia's character.
I would love a fic that strips away the pushy, haughty Patrician Atia, and shows a different side that even she never lets us see on the show. The only time she ever looked vulnerable was when Antony broke her heart. I'd love to read whether she actually did love her husband, did she really love him? Did she love him so deeply and then get betrayed? Was it so bad that she told herself that she'd never be weak and in love ever again, and then Antony happened and despite her best efforts she gave in and loved him.
I want to read about what makes her happy, truly happy. I want her not to worry about Atia the leader of a very influential household. Not Atia the man-eater.
She seems so selfish and heartless, but she does feel things... she is a regular person (although she'd never admit it) so I'd love to read about her vulnerable, happy side
Past!fic or Future!fic is great, i'm pretty much okay with whatever pairing. I'd prefer no incest. A story with any one of her lovers, or her husband would be great. Hopefully I've given you enough guidance/ideas to kinda see what i'm looking for lovely writer, but optional details are optional and i've left this pretty open to interpretation. I'm also good with any rating, I LOVE intimate moments where are personal defenses are down (not necessarily sexual, although that's more than okay) just the honestly and vulnerability of intimacy is awesome to read about.
Yuleporn friendly if that's your thing!
If you're here for
Fandom: Wonder Woman (2017)
Requested Character(s): Antiope, Menalippe
Edited to add:
I JUST found out that Menalippe and Antiope are sisters, and both Aunts to Diana and sisters to Hippolyta... but TBH that changes nothing for me in this prompt. I'm totally okay with incest (i ship thorki, wincest and lannister-cest in GoT... so seriously NBD) but it might change how you frame things if you yourself didn't know. I still love the closeness between them and want anything and everything you can give me about them :D
From my signup:
so we're all in agreement that when antiope was shot and we saw menalippe fly out to be by her side in sheer despair that we shipped it.. .like we shipped it sooooooo hard
I'm dying to know how these two met and how Menalippe rose to be her Lieutenant. Is it a physical relationship? or did she cry out from loyalty only? was there an awkward point where they were flirting and then had to ask each other out? did Diana help? or is this from before Diana?
Do they have spa days together when they're taking a break from the military? do they go to Hippolyta's dinner parties together? How do birthdays work?
I'm down for anything and everything. G-NC17, whatever you want to work with i'm good with... but I am soooo interested in the loyalty and love behind that despair and subsequent anger towards Steve Trevor from Menalippe when they are at Steve Trevor's interrogation.
Yuleporn friendly if that's your thing!
