Dear Yuletide Author...
Thank you times ten million in advance for agreeing to write something to suit my obscure whims. I'm generally fairly easy to please, but in general you should know that I prefer the serious to the comedic and nothing makes me happier than old fashioned romance. The sappier and more melodramatic the better, as embarrassing as that may be.
Fandom: RPF - Takarazuka Revue
Characters: Aran Kei/Toono Asuka
Details: Touko and Asuka anything will make me happy, really, but I'd particularly love something with them after their retirements. The more romantic the better, and any rating is fine, though I would definitely be pleased by something a bit more adult.
Touko and Asuka are my one true golden combi. They are the perfect storm of two people who I love individually who are so earth shatteringly fabulous when you get them together that I can hardly believe it. I am completely in love with how fabulous Touko is as an OG, so one thing that I would love would be to see what would happen when Touko and Asuka get together post-retirement. Interpret "get together" however you like. XD
Fandom: Simoun (anime)
Characters: Neviril/Paraietta
Details: Unrequited is fine when it comes to these two, but I would dearly love Paraietta to at least have a brief bit of happiness with Neveril. I am particularly in love with how devoted to Neveril Paraietta is, even when she maybe shouldn't be.
Oh my favorite messed up story of unrequited love. The thing I love about them most is that Paraietta, who is normally so stern and no nonsense, is so very ruled over by her feelings for Neveril. I always wondered whether Neveril really understood how Paraietta felt about her, and for that matter whether Paraietta ever really consciously thought about it.
Fandom: Steven Brust and Emma Bull - Freedom and Necessity
Characters: James Cobham/Susan Voight
Details: James and Susan are probably my favorite couple in all of literature. I love Susan's intellect mixed with a bit of naivete, I love James' hard headedness and utter devotion to the people he loves, and I love the fact that they get a happy ending.
I love the integration of philosophy into the story, and more than anything I love Susan. I love that she's seen statues, I love that she's not afraid to take matters into her hands even if it's not always the best idea, and I love that James loves that too.
Fandom: RPF - Takarazuka Revue
Characters: Miwa Asahi/Ranju Tomu
Details: They're the couple that I wanted so badly to see take over Soragumi from Tani and Ume, and I'd be okay with an AU where they do get to be top together. Other than that, I'm okay with anything, the more shamelessly romantic the better.
An AU where I get Tomugumi with a brilliant Machami as her partner (and Tomochin as her nibante maybe?). Hardly anything would make me happier. Srsly. Bonus points for adorable snuggling (or more) or cameos by other Soragumisei.
