Dear Yuletide Author Letter 2021
First Of All
Thank you for writing for me, anon! Not to get too far into it, but this has, unequivocally, been the worst fucking year of my life. I'm so glad it's almost over, and I'm so glad that I have Yuletide to look forward to. Yuletide is, without a doubt, one of the biggest highlights of my year, and I'm sure I will love anything you write for me. But since you're here, you're obviously looking for specifics, so I'll do my best to explain myself. If you're interested in looking at the fic I've written myself for Yuletide or in general, you can find that here. If you are worried, dear author, that we matched on the one fandom I wasn't super into, let me alleviate that angst right now. There is no lesser one here. I am really fond of them all. Some I have more ideas about, but that's only because for the others, I'm only interested one specific dynamic or set of characters.

Fandom Specifics
1. ด้ายแดงซีรีส์ | Until We Meet Again The Series (TV)
Characters: Win, Team, Dean, Pharm
Request:
I love both of these pairings and all four of the characters! I'd like to see more of their love story, and how Win eventually convinces Team to admit his feelings. If you want to make it an AU for another setting or make it a canon divergence so that you can give them your own first time, go for it! I'd also love to see what the morning after was like on their trip. Was Team awkward until Win teased him out of it? What about the day after? When the heat of that moment passed, did Team revert back to being defensive and not believing Win? Give me any Win/Team relationship/slice of life stuff.
For Dean and Pharm, I want to see how Pharm has Dean wrapped around his finger, whether he knows it or not. Dean is so gone over him, and it's the most adorable thing. With Korn and In gone - or at least quiet - in their minds, I would like to see how Dean and Pharm begin to relearn how to be together, just them. And sex: Pharm is so shy and nervous. Show me how Dean gets him to open up and enjoy himself, maybe leading to the first time that Pharm initiates things on his own.
DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex
Optional Prompts Are Optional:
Prompt 1:
Win/Team - Team wakes up the morning after his first time with Win. He's cuddled up against him, his head tucked under Win's chin. It's a familiar feeling, except this time, they're naked. Except this time, Team finally admitted his feelings for Win. Except this time, they had sex. And then what?
Prompt 2:
Dean/Pharm - Literally everyone except Pharm realizes how easily he could convince his boyfriend to do anything. Pharm is confused about why the swim team members suddenly come to him with requests. Meanwhile, everyone on the Dean fan pages is freaking out about how their ice cold swim captain completely melts with a just a look from his boyfriend.
Prompt 3:
Win/Team - Win has found himself a new admirer, and Team is not happy about it. It forces him to admit his feelings for Win both to Win and himself.
Prompt 4:
Dean/Pharm - Dean helping Pharm discover how good sex feels and that it's ok to ask for what he wants, especially with Dean, who would give him anything. I love the size difference between them, and I bet that Pharm does too. He already mentioned that he loved how big Dean's hands were. Imagine both of his wrists gently and easily held by one of Dean's hands. Dean holding him up by the waist against a wall. Basically, I want to see thirsty Pharm, who is free of the PTSD inside of his brain and just wants to have sex with his super hot boyfriend.
Prompt 5:
Win/Team - Win taking care of a sick or injured Team. Hurt/comfort encouraged! I'd love to see Win worried and Team grumpy.
Prompt 6:
Win/Team - Team takes Win out on what he decides is their first 'real' date, and he's nervous af. Win thinks it's adorable.
Prompt 7:
Gen - How did Dean and Win become best friends? They seem like very opposite personalities. I'd like to see Pharm giving Team some advice for once, since it was always the other way around on the show.

2. HIStory3 - 圈套 | HIStory3: Trapped (TV)
Characters: Meng Shao Fei, Tang Yi, Jack, Zhao-zi
Request:
I would genuinely take any combination of these four characters. Shao Fei/Tang Yi or Jack/Zhao Zi, but then I also love the Shao Fei and Jack friendship and whatever weird friendship/boss relationship is going on with Jack and Tang Yi. Jack is staying around for Zhao Zi, so does he freelance for Tang Yi? Are they awkward friends? Do they hate each other?
Shao Fei and Zhao Zi are the world's goofiest cops, and I would enjoy seeing them have misadventures together, especially if it ended with their boyfriends bailing them out of trouble. But on the other hand, it might be fun to see things the other way around, where Jack and Tang Yi are in trouble, and Shao Fei and Zhao Zi prove their skills by saving the day.
I am kind of obsessed with the time on the show after Shao Fei moves in with Tang Yi, but before they get together. You can do so much in that time. I'll take sexual tension or more hijinks. I'd also like to see the two of them when Tang Yi gets released from prison. What's their life like? I'd also like to see Tang Yi be the jealous one for once, since it was always Shao Fei on the show. What's a jealous Tang Yi look like?
Jack and Zhao Zi are the sweetest couple on the planet. I love how Jack is a completely different person around Zhao Zi. How protective/ruthless does he get to keep him safe? Jack is also super hot, so I'd like to see Zhao Zi get territorial when someone is trying to hit on his boyfriend.
DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex
Optional Prompts Are Optional:
Prompt 1:
Meng Shao Fei/Tang Yi - One of Shao Fei's exes (maybe another cop?) shows up to throw a wrench in things while Shao Fei is investigating Tang Yi. Tang Yi has gotten very used to easily keeping all of Shao Fei's attention and isn't pleased to share. Basically, I really want to see jealous Tang Yi after a whole series of jealous Shao Fei.
Prompt 2:
Jack/Zhao Zi - Someone is threatening Zhao Zi because of a case he's working on. Unfortunately for that poor soul, they don't realize who his boyfriend is...I would love to see Jack protecting Zhao Zi like the deadly assassin he is.
Prompt 3:
Meng Shao Fei/Tang Yi - Tang Yi gets released from prison, and then what? I'd love to read their first (and second and third) time when they finally get to touch each other again. Size difference and praise kink also encouraged here. But if you don't want to write sex, then I'd LOVE to see how the two of them navigate their very weird lives together.
Prompt 4:
Jack/Zhao Zi- A former colleague of Jack's comes back into the picture and gets very confused by the Jack he sees with Zhao Zi. Surely he's undercover for some mission. No way the Jack he knows has gotten out of the business and spends his days playing househusband for a COP, of all things.
Prompt 5:
Gen/multi - Jack and Tang Yi OR Shao Fei and Zhao Zi are kidnapped and their partners have to mount a rescue campaign. Does Zhao Zi use his tech prowess to knock out the bad guys' surveillance? How many people get gutted by Jack's switchblade? How badly does Shao Fei lose his shit in the police station when he finds out? How many laws does Tang Yi immediately decide to break in order to get Shao Fei back?

3. My Engineer (TV)
Characters: Ram, King
Request:
The show ended on kind of a down note for them, which will obviously be the focus of series two. But until then, I'd like to see how they resolve their issues. I think it would be great to see Ram take some initiative. King has been the driving force behind their relationship the whole time, but he's obviously confused and hurt now, so it would be nice for Ram to step up.
I'd love to see how Ram courts King. Does he talk to Bohn and King's other friends? Does he dare to touch him more when they're at home together watching television?
And as a bonus: I'd love to see a fic where, because of how hard he had to work to hear it, Ram's voice really does it for King. Especially in bed. And Ram figures it out...
DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex
Optional Prompts Are Optional:
Prompt 1:
Ram/King - Ram loves King and wants to make sex as good as possible for him. So when he realizes that King likes it when he talks...really likes it...Ram uses that to make King go crazy. Bonus points for giving King a praise kink.
Prompt 2:
Ram/King - Ram didn't realize until the camping trip how confused King felt about their budding relationship. He thought that they were on the same page. But now Ram understands the problem and recognizes that at least part of it is his fault for being so cold in the beginning. So he decides to court King and make his feelings known.
Prompt 3:
Ram/King - King watching Ram boxing/working out. And what happens after. That's it. That's the prompt.
Prompt 4:
Gen - King helps Ram deal with his family stuff and confront his father.

30歳まで童貞だと魔法使いになれるらしい | Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! (TV)
Characters: Kurosawa, Adachi
Request:
Where do I even start with these two? I want everything. I want to see the first time they have sex and Adachi loses his powers. How does he feel? Does not being able to read Kurosawa's mind make him even more nervous, or is he relieved?
I'd love to see Adachi surprise Kurosawa by telling people in the office about their relationship (when he's ready - it could be years later, if you want). I think that Kurosawa would be deeply touched by that.
Seeing Adachi from Kurosawa's perspective would be great too. He's such a perfectionist and so eager to please Adachi that he is probably freaking out before their first time too, at least a little.
DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex
Optional Prompts Are Optional:
Prompt 1:
Adachi/Kurosawa - When Adachi finally has his first time with Kurosawa, Kurosawa does everything he can to make it perfect. I'd love to see the things Adachi discovers about his body and what feels good with Kurosawa's patient and thorough help.
Prompt 2:
Adachi/ Kurosawa - After Adachi loses his powers, how does he navigate his relationship? Is he relieved? Or does he talk circles around himself until Kurosawa has to calm him down again?
Prompt 3:
Adachi/Kurosawa - It's been however long you want, and finally Adachi tells the rest of the office about their relationship. He could do it because he's had enough of watching people throw themselves at a too-polite-to-say-anything Kurosawa. Or maybe Adachi just realizes that keeping it a secret is hurting Kurosawa, even if he never says.
Prompt 4:
Adachi/Kurosawa - I'd take something like a 5+1 list of times that Kurosawa has surprised or pleased or made Adachi feel shy. I just want to watch Adachi be happy.
Prompt 5 (extra optional!):
If you feel comfortable writing about Tsuge, I'd enjoy a story where Adachi and Tsuge talk about their first times and more about dealing with their magic and lack thereof.

永遠的第一名 | We Best Love (TV)
Characters: Gao Shi De, Zhou Shu Yi
Request:
I would really like to see moments from the time after they first got together to before Shide went off to America. Mostly, I want to see Shuyi realize, once he lets himself, how thirsty he is for Shide and probably always has been. Now that he's looking, Shide is gorgeous and charming, which is, of course, infuriating in its own way. Does he have to be good at everything?
I'd also like to see what Shide is like when he's given free rein to flirt and seduce Shuyi openly. He's got a decade to make up for, after all.
DNW: A/B/O, dub-con or non-con, infidelity, main character death, blood/urine/scat during sex
Optional Prompts Are Optional:
Prompt 1:
Shi De/Shu Yi - When they first get together, Gao Shi De is finally free to openly show Shu Yi his affection, and he takes advantage. He gets to touch him! And flirt with him! Shu Yi can barely keep up.
Prompt 2:
Shi De/Shu Yi - Now that Shu Yi has admitted his feelings to himself, he starts noticing things about Shi De that he never did before. Like Shi De's deep, rumbly voice, his broad shoulders, the little smirk he makes when he knows Shu Yi's turned on. Basically, I want to see super thirsty Shu Yi, discovering that he doesn't like Shi De despite him being a guy. He likes Shi De because he's a guy - a really fucking hot guy.
Prompt 3:
Shi De/Shu Yi - Hurt/comfort where Shi De and his mother give Shu Yi the family and love he never got from his father.
Prompt 4:
Shi De/Shu Yi - I'd like to see their first (sober) time having sex after they got back together. I imagine Shi De being really desperate and emotional, and Shu Yi calming him down and reassuring him.
Prompt 5:
Shi De/Shu Yi - One night after a talk with his father, Shu Yi sits down and reads all of Shi De's emails to him over the years. Hurt/comfort encouraged.
