Yuletide 2018 Letter
Dear Yuletide Author,
Yay! So happy it's Yuletide time again this year! I am not super picky and am probably going to enjoy whatever you write from gen to smut. I generally enjoy most tropes and cliches and am much more interested in character moments than complicated plots, but I do love casefic, particularly if it's creepy. The prompts I've listed below are only suggestions so if you have an amazing idea for a fic that would work well in one of these fandoms then definitely go for it!

Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian
Requested Characters - Jack Aubrey, Stephen Maturin
I adore this series of books! I have read up through The Yellow Admiral so I am fine with spoilers up until that point or even something based on just the film canon. The heart of the book for me is definitely Jack and Stephen's relationship so anything dealing with that is going to be a win. I love how they are kind of opposites, with Jack being completely useless on land and Stephen being kind of inept with sea-related things, and the humor that goes along with that. It can be either platonic friendship or slashy, I am good with either.
I love h/c, so something where one of them gets hurt or is threatened in some way and the other one freaks out would be amazing. I really like Sophie, so I'm fine with her being mentioned or included, but I'm not a big fan of Diana, purely because of all the crap she puts Stephen through. For me Jack and Stephen are basically married, so I'm good with either established relationship or first time for them.

Requested Characters - Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian
This is my current obsession and I am super into it at the moment. I'm up to date with the current chapter of the novel that has been translated and if you've read farther, I'm not terribly worried about spoilers, so don't let that put you off an idea you really want to write. I love the dynamic of their relationship and how much Lan Wangji loves Wei Wuxian despite him being completely oblivious. My favorite time period is probably them as adults after the 13 year separation, but I'm not opposed to something set during the time when they were younger. I would love something involving h/c (as always) or Wei Wuxian suddenly realizing how much Lan Wangji is trying to protect him. I also enjoy most of the other characters including Jiang Cheng, Jiang Yanli, Lan Xichen, Jin Ling, Lan Sizhui, Lan Jingyi, Wen Qing and of course, the cutest zombie, Wen Ning, if you want to incorporate any of them.

Requested Characters - Roberto Nicholas, Josef Hiraga Kou
This show really worked for me. Despite being super crack-filled, it has everything I love. Gay priests working together on cases, crying faces, and creepy ridiculous storylines . In all seriousness, Roberto and Hiraga are one of those practically married couples that I adore. I do feel like Roberto's feelings for Hiraga may not be completely pure (which he has some angst about), and Hiraga is pretty much completely oblivious to that fact. I'm always up for casefic about these two and would love one or the other of them getting hurt/sick/poisoned, etc. I'm fine with them acting on their feelings or with a fic that just focuses on their close friendship.

Requested Characters - Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei
Another couple that's practically married in canon. I think I have a type. In any case, these two are the cutest! Shen Wei's extreme obsession with Zhao Yunlan is very fun, as is Zhao Yunlan being super into him from the beginning, and the constant flirtation. I would love to see them working on a case we didn't get to see in canon, preferably with one of them getting hurt or sick. I think wilderness survival would be fun with them, or something that takes place in Dixing (since you could pretty much do whatever). I do love how protective Shen Wei is, but I would also love to see Zhao Yunlan having to protect him for a change. I have also read the novel up to where it is currently translated and am fine if you want to incorporate any elements of that.
