Yuletide 20211
YULETIDE 2021 - dear creator letter
First off, thank you very much! And I hope you'll have fun with these. If you have any other questions, you can find me at pasiphile.tumblr.com and shoot me an anon message.
Fandom: Imperial Radch Series - Ann Leckie
Seivarden Vendaai, Breq
I deeply, deeply enjoyed the evolution of Seivaarden from completely unloveable privileged dick to actual competent decent person, and was v delighted by her fish out of the water old-fashioned thing. However, the ending felt a bit of a cop-out, with how her feelings/crush towards Breq don’t get any real resolution.
So I would like to see that, please. Either some Canon divergence, or something post-canon (polyamorous relationship v much encouraged). Or, if that’s not your thing, some enrequited pining would be good too.
Feel free to go as explicit as you want!
Fandom: His Dark Materials (TV)
Marisa Coulter, Mary Malone
The TV show made some changes to the book and one I very much liked was the explicit mirroring and jealousy of Marisa versus Mary. Both of them are really fascinating female characters and I would like to get in either of their heads a little bit.
Nuance is a big one here! While I do see Marisa as a tragic figure, she is, yknow, vicious, and that’s part of what makes her interesting. Making her too nice would feel wrong, but otoh writing her as a one dimensional villain isn’t very interesting to me either. So anything that humanises her a little while still being true to her angry side would be lovely.
As for Mary, I love her unreservedly, and not just as a mirror to Marisa. I love her messy determined curious scientist vibe and her protective instincts, and I would just love to see more of her.
Fandom:Wolfwalkers (2020)
I loved this movie so much! But what I loved most were the little moments of friendship between Mebh and Robyn and sadly, there weren’t many of those. So I’d like to see anything post-canon, with the girls enjoying their friendship and getting used to each other - because they both are very different people, after all. I’m also a sucker for the Irish mythology interwoven into the story (and the other movies from the same studio, for that matter) so if that’s something you can work in, that would be great.
Fandom:Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (2017)
Love me a happy triad! The movie did a good job of showing the three of them, their evolving relationship and the attraction between all of them, but inevitably it went rather fast. I’d like anything that goes a little more into these three, but it can be anything from cute domestics to hot kinky threeway bondage sex (with a slight preference to anything leaning more towards the latter). The only note here is that I do definitely want it to be all of three of them. There can be a tendency with triad pairings to focus on two of them and sort of neglect the other, while for me the threeway dynamics are what makes it so fun.
Fandom:The Green Knight (2021)
Ahahaha this glorious mess! I know just enough about medieval history and literature to enjoy how genuinely accurately weird this adaptation was, but it did leave me hanging a bit. One of the things I missed a little was the offbeat sense of humour you can find in medieval texts. And the other is the relationship between Lord and Lady Bertilak and Gawain - I do understand why they made the changes they did, but I missed the weird triad thing going on there a little. So anything that would go deeper into that while still staying true to the weirdness of medieval texts would be lovely.
