Dear Santa
Hello, mysterious secret santa person! I'm so so sorry I haven't written you a letter before now. The dog ate it, or, uh, the pixels ran out of...electricity...um. Yeah. Sorry. But thank you so much for writing a story for me, I love you already, I promise. I honestly don't have a pairing preference, so feel free to go for which ever one you feel like writing. I have written out a list of things I tend to like in stories! This is not a checklist! It's just a, if you feel like you need some additional information. Sort of thing.
I like casual physical contact, hands on shoulders and necks and faces and skin-to-skin
I like kisses
I like emotional realism
I like physical details
I like casual dialogue
I like friendship
I like things falling apart slowly
I like crushes
I like unrequited finally requited love
I like longing
I like misunderstandings
I like naps
I like AUs
I like futurefics
I like nostalgia fics
I like present-day fics
I like comraderie
I like crackfic
I like magical realism
I. Uh. I like a lot of things. Seriously, just enjoy yourself, do what you want, what you're excited to do, and it'll all be awesome. If you should happen to feel like you need some direct guidance, darkseaglass, crimsonclad, and callsigns are all fabulous arbiters of taste, I promise! (Also, they might all take great glee in knowing who my secret santa is while I languish in ignorance.)
Dear DWNOGA recipient: Honey, your request was pretty much TAILOR-MADE for me. We'll get along just fine.
callsigns was doing this, and it looked like fun. Also, I did SO MUCH BETTER on hers than I usually do, at a score of TWO CORRECT GUESSES, WHOA. So, yes, guessing game? Wanna try and best my score? I'm setting my iTunes to shuffle.
1. With you here, baby I am strong, no sign of weakness. With you gone, baby I am hanging by a thread. Hanging By A Thread by Nickel Creek. Guessed by iridescentglow
2. My guardian angel fell asleep on the watch, now all I've got is a barbie-doll crotch.
3. Our breath rose in the cold like a hundred souls escaping. Save me, I'm swallowed by the guilt, you're gone. A Dark Congregation by The Hush Sound. Guessed by callsigns
4. The sun has gone down and the moon has come up, and long ago someone left with the cup, but he's driving and striving and hugging the turns. The Distance, by Cake. Guessed by overloved
5. And all of this science, well, I don't understand, no, it's just my job five days a week now. Rocket Man, by Elton John (Jason Mraz cover), guessed by overloved
6. I don’t care what people say, no one else has ever made me feel the way you do. Think about it, it just makes sense, we already know everything about us. Right Here (by your side) by JC Chasez. Guessed by carta
7. I heard this old story before, where the people keep on killing for their metaphors, but don't leave much up to the imagination. So I want to give this imagery back.
8. Well I'm a total wreck and almost every day, like the firing squad or the mess you made. Well don't I look pretty walking down the street in the best damn dress I own? Give 'Em Hell, Kid, by My Chemical Romance. Guessed by one900
9. I've been having a bad, bad day. Come on, won't you put that pad away? The Parking Ticket, from the Buffy Musical episode. Guessed by wearemany
10. 'Cause every pane of glass that your pebbles tap negates the pains I went through to avoid you, and every little pat on the shoulder for attention fails to mention I still hate you. Chicago Is So Two Years Ago, by Fall Out Boy. Guessed by apartment_19
11. Look, I'm standing naked before you. Don't you want more than my sex? I can scream as loud as your last one, but I can't claim innocence. Leather, by Tori Amos. Guessed by lilysaid
12. Something strange has come over me, a raging wind across my sea, and girl, you know your eyes are to blame. Falling, by *NSYNC. Guessed by carta
13. My joy would be complete, dear, if you were only here, but still I keep your hand as a precious souvenir. The night you died I cut it off, I really don't know why, for now, each time I kiss it, I get bloodstains on my tie. I Hold Your Hand In Mine by Tom Lehrer, guessed by silveryscrape
14. You better run like the devil, 'cause they're never gonna leave you alone. You better hide up in the alley, 'cause they're never gonna find you a home. House of Wolves, by My Chemical Romance. Guessed by beingothrwrldly
15. Kiss me, please kiss me. But kiss me out of desire, babe, not consolation. Last Goodbye, by Jeff Buckley. Guessed by tenebrio
