Dear Yuletide Writer...I love you already!
Dear Yuletide writer,
I am very excited for this year! It's a mixed bag of fandoms this year! 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.
Also, if you think any of these fandoms would fit a holiday themed fic, go for it! i'm a hallmark holiday junkie at heart so having these characters celebrate the yuletide would make for such a cute fic.
So, without further ado, I'll break down the different fandoms
If you are here for
Fandom: What we do in the Shadows (TV)
Requested Character(s): Nadja, Lazslo Cravensworth
From my sign up:
I LOVE LASZLO and NADJA. i love their love story and all their hilarious anecdotes of their long and complicated history. I considered selecting gregor as well since i think it's absolutely hilarious to flesh out one of their strange love triangles from gregor's previous lives but if you, dear writer, do not feel inclined to flesh out one of those stories I am MORE than happy to read a wonderful (and likely funny) story from their past or present. I love Laszlo's undying love for nadja and all the things they do for each other. Is nadja saving laszlo from his own ridiculousness again? (ex THE hat or getting captured by animal services) or is this a story of laszlo winning nadja's heart all over again? is it an origin story of how they met? or their weird love triangle with the count? I'm honestly here for any and every iteration of their beautiful complicated vampire love.
Loves: fluff, romance, witty banter, intimacy, domesticity, comedy of errors, tasteful sexy time
DNW: hardcore blood and gore (i realize that these are vampires but keeping the blood and violence in the same level of explicitness as the show is what i'm after)
ETA: there are SO many fun situations to read about when it comes to these vampires so I'll be down for any and all fleshed out stories and references from the episodes, or any made up situation that has happened in their long wonderful history as lovers. I'm honestly down for almost anything!
If you're here for
Fandom: Mindhunter (TV 2017)
Requested Character(s): Holden Ford, Bill Tench
gosh i DEVOURED this show and i loooooooove the complicated relationship that Holden and Tench have. Ideally i'd love a ship fic as they were basically work husbands on the road for how long? gah i loved when they were sharing rooms, always being at each others side, and always decompressing together after difficult interviews. If you're more into Gen fic, I'd love to read about their wordless loyalty and understanding they have as co-workers, friends and work husbands. I'd love to read about their deep connection through all the graphic nature of their work in Quantico.
i would be over the moon to read how their relationship goes from loyal work husbands to breaking the UST kind of lovers. a first kiss, a drunken confession, being forced to share a bed... OH NO THERE'S ONLY ONE BED AT THIS MOTEL (oh no it's accidental spooning and intimacy eeeee) anything around that would be amazing. or other work husband activities i would enjoy include massages, confessions of feelings, cuddling, borrowing each other's clothes, shared baths or showers etc
i love: fluff, established relationship,physical and emotional intimacy, first time, cuddling, confessions, witty banter, tasteful sexytimes
DNW: overly explicit gore/violence (i realize that this show deals with serial killers, but i'd prefer the graphic nature of the show can just be glossed over to focus on the characters in this case--mentions of violence and trauma are okay as long as they are matter of fact and not gruesomely described in detail), please no NONCON
If you're here for
Fandom: I Medici-Medici-Masters of Florence
Character(s): Giuliano De'Medici, Lorenzo "Il Magnifico" De'Medici
From my sign-up:
gosh I LOVE THESE TWO MEN SO MUCH.
i'm requesting both of the brothers because honestly i couldn't choose. I love them both.
I am good with either a ship fic or a gen fic focused on their complicated brotherly bond/friendship.
it could be from any part of the second season, or set before the episodes... i love how despite giuliano feels left out of the family dream in most cases, he is still deeply loved by his brother. a situation maybe where giuliano goes astray and lorenzo saves him. or a late night bonding session over wine where they decompress from drama. I love sandro too so if you feel the need to include him in some capacity i would not be against it.
I do enjoy a slutty hot tempered giuliano and a dad-friend protecting lorenzo.
loves: witty banter, domesticity, physical and emotional intimacy, first time (good lord if you wrote first time where the brothers hooked up i would diieeeee), brothers at arms, tasteful sexytimes
DNW: graphic blood/gore/violence, character death (we'll just ignore giuliano's fate, pls)
If you're here for
Fandom: Toast of London (TV)
Character(s): Steven Gonville Toast, Jon Hamm
From this year's sign up:
After the repercussions of "Hamm on Toast" how the heck does Toast even PROCESS all that happened when he had his head injury? Is he still a victim of Jon's charismaaaaaa? or is he back to his acrimonious self in the presence of the hollywood heavyweight? inquiring minds need to know?
I'm also down for a case where Hamm suffers a similar injury and instead falls into charisma-love with toast. how does toast handle that? or is there just another hangout where things are awkward but fun for everyone? does hamm still own toast's castle?
I'm honestly down for any and every bit of shenanigans that these two derps have to offer. If you choose to do a ship fic, i'm also down for that especially if it's awkward, weirdly loveable and fluffy. (like what if they went to a kareoke bar and did like a masked singer kinda thing?) there are so many possibilities and they can be any rating. ship or gen. i am here for awkward but funny shenanigans.
loves: fluff, jazz hands, liberal use of charismaaaaaa, puns, jokes, witty banter, heart eyes, accidental intimacy, first time, drunken stories that embarrass everyone, mustache appreciation, costume changes, musical interludes, man hugs, lovejoy masks
DNW: any graphic blood/gore/violence, anything NONCON or dubcon
Lol thank you friend! I know I have flooded you with ideas but I will love what you come up with!
Dearest writer, please know that I will enjoy your gift no matter what and I thank you so much for being so fantastic and signing up for such a crazy exchange. <3 I can't wait to be able to shower you in gratitude. I hope you have an amazing yuletide! thank you!
