Less than a week until I am home again! And then, I shall do more work than I did here, ha.
Hey, dear Yulegoat! First off, you are awesome. I am not terribly picky; the fact that you are writing a story for me, of one of the fandoms I wanted, is praiseworthy in and of itself, and I know what it is like to fear that what you are writing is Not Good Enough for your recipient. So do not worry! I will not bite you.
If you want more details on my requests or you are just looking for some random text to read, this is a very handy cut to follow!
In general, I like: silly things, sweet things, introspective things, romance that does not require porn (although porn is a lovely thing), ~friendship~, banter, physical affection, random details on where/when the story is taking place, non-standard families--but this does not mean I am opposed to angst; this shall be discussed in the individual prompts below.
Things I do not like: friends or the pairing being at odds with each other, ship-sinking (if you don't ship the pairings I requested, that's fine, but they should still be at least friends), character-bashing, victimization/over-sexualization of female characters, and I've got an embarrassment squick a mile wide.
The prompts, with added specifics:
Wild Adapter: Kubota/Tokito: Full-on domestics. Cooking, laundry, cleaning, you name it--as quiet a day as they can get. But bonus points for still having reminders that Kubota's crazy as shit and Tokito ain't too balanced either.
I mentioned this in the request, but I like these boys crazy. And happy with each other! Just, you know, crazy. Be as explicit as you want; I like both porn and the absence of porn, so long as they are total bros.
Pet Shop of Horrors: Leon-->D: Post-volume 10. Leon's unsuccessful endeavors in finding D despite traveling all around the world, complete with soul-searching as to why he *really* wants to find him.
I am one of the few fans out there who did not 100% hate the ending of the original series, which you may have guessed given the request. But it was still not a very happy ending, so this is the one prompt where I forgo my dislike of pairings being in a snit with each other, because, man, there is no bitterness there at all. Inner-monologue bitching is practically required. This is also the prompt where details on the locations are most appreciated, since, well, there would be a lot of locations and having them stand out from each other would be useful.
Monster: Dieter: Dieter, post-series. What's it like having effectively like five parents? How does he do on that soccer team? How well does he fare dealing with other kids his age?
Okay, so, I love Dieter pretty much whatever, so I am extra not-picky about this one. Go hog wild. But adorably so.
Natsume Yuujinchou: Natsume + assorted: The biggest theme of Natsume Yuujinchou is looooneliness, as is hammered in repeatedly. But what about it from the perspective of the youkai? The ones who befriend Natsume know that he's going to die just as much as Reiko did. So how do they individually react to it--just not thinking about it, making plans for it, doing their best to stave it off as long as possible? Can be as angsty or as bittersweet as you like; some of them will just make the best with what they have, after all.
Saaaad. Or not entirely sad! It is up to you. And I love all that youkai crap, so stuff about their society or cultures or whatever would be A+. You do not have to include the fox kid but I really like the fox kid so it would be cool if you could.
And that is all! Seriously, I will be grateful whatever you do; Yuletiders work hard and I appreciate this. Have fun, do not worry too much, and remember, this is not Srs Bzns.
