Dear Yuletide Author 2019
Dear Yuletide Author,
Thank you so much for writing for me! I'm excited to see whatever you write! Optional details are optional; my prompts are only here as suggestions.
DNWs (Do Not Wants)
Wang Zhen Wen, Wang Zhen Wu
For WenWu, I'd love to see angsty pre-canon pining and Zhen Wen dealing with the trauma of his kidnapping. Tell me about the guilt - Zhen Wu blaming himself and devoting himself to following Zhen Wen around; Zhen Wen thinking Zhen Wu is just doing it all out of obligation and he hates himself for being in love with his stepbrother. Show me the ~shameful dreams~ Zhen Wen's been having about kissing his brother (or more than kissing); and all the nightmares he has about being kidnapped and Zhen Wu comforting him.
For post-canon stuff, I'm interested in seeing how they navigate their relationship, especially as stepbrothers...fluff or angst or both is fine.
Also: WenWu's relationship to volleyball. Zhen Wu stops playing volleyball to bodyguard Zhen Wen. I'd be interested in fic about Zhen Wu learning to truly love the sport again once he's on the team with Yu Hao and getting over the guilt and secondhand trauma associated with it. Maybe featuring Zhen Wu trying to teach Zhen Wen how to play? Or Zhen Wen being gently encouraging going, "Don't be stupid, volleyball didn't kidnap me, " after Zhen Wu has a moment when he panics and doesn't want to play anymore?
Bonus prompt: Zhen Wu being jealous of Zhen Wen's friendship with Yu Hao. I firmly headcanon that Zhen Wen tried to convince himself he loved Yu Hao in an attempt to suppress his feelings for Zhen Wu.
Love By Chance (TV)
Ae, Pete
These two are so amazing and sweet.
Some prompts:
Alex Claremont-Diaz
I read this book a couple of months ago during a relevant time in my life. It's a long story and I'm not going to dump it in my Yuletide letter (suffice to say, the U.S. federal government is terrible), but Alex really resonated with me. He's a young idealistic person who wants to change the world. However, he's someone who's got the drive and the resources due to his family and status as First Son while also being subjected to the spotlight and an added sexuality crisis on top of that.
I want a story about him. It doesn't have to be shipfic with Henry, although I'm completely fine if it is - but I guess what I'm looking for is an Alex-centric focus of some sort.

Love By Chance (TV)
Ae, Pete
These two are so amazing and sweet.
Some prompts:
- Ae comes out to his family. How does it go? So much of the series features Ae being supportive of Pete, but in this instance, I want to see the other way around. Bonus prompt - Pete's mother also being involved.
- Cooking together!
- A date on the beach.
- Ae can't help himself from writing songs about Pete.
- Pete's journal entries about Ae. First person POV is fine in this instance, of course. Bonus: Ae's reaction to reading some of the entries...
- Wearing each other's clothes (+ their friends noticing)
- Fic about Ae grappling with love and sexuality - he's never really had a crush on anyone, he's never been attracted to anyone; he notices he's not like Pond or other schoolmates - and then Pete turns his world upside down and he just goes with it. Would love to see the contrast of him being inexperienced with sex, kissing, etc. vs. Pete.
- Fic focusing on the class differences between Ae and Pete.
- Bonus prompt: Ae and Pete help Can pick up the pieces after the TinCan fallout.

I want a story about him. It doesn't have to be shipfic with Henry, although I'm completely fine if it is - but I guess what I'm looking for is an Alex-centric focus of some sort.
Prompts:
- Alex during his mother's first campaign as president. Or, just him in general adjusting in the political world, with both his parents as politicians and him coming into his beliefs and ideals.
- All the social media fic. All of it. I love how the book incorporated social media with the main characters on Twitter/Instagram, and I want to see more. Alex's first faux pas on social media. Alex bantering with June or Nora on Twitter. Especially reactions to Alex/Henry from outsiders or fic writing fandom.
- Alex goes abroad for [an exchange program for school or university/accompanying his mother or father on a trip somewhere/a sporting event/a summer holiday/a charity event or convention of some sort/insert reason here]. A moment of crisis when he wonders if it's worth going back home - maybe cynicism with the system if there's something going on in the political world that troubles him, overwhelmed with the constant attention - until he shakes himself out of it. This can take place before his mother's elected, after, or whatever.
