Yuletide letter
Dear Author,
hi! I’m really looking forward to your story. I adore all of these canons, and fic for them is extremely rare, so, seriously, anything you write will delight me and be a great service to society.
Some specific things I really enjoy:
- different setting AUs: both the mundane kind - coffeeshops! highschoolers! musicians! - and the fantastic kind - fangs! space! For some reason, I am particularly into gladiator AUs these days.
- rescue scenes, both by despairing friends/lovers and by kind strangers
- kneeling. Formal kneeling! Oral sex kneeling! Collapsing with exhaustion kneeling! Oh-no-this-is-embarrassing-we-are-all-equals-here thwarted kneeling!
- pain! I love it in both hurt/comfort contexts and kink contexts.
Some things I would rather not read for these canons:
- non-con, including past trauma
- jealousy, infidelity, extended unrequited pining
- contemporary prison or military AUs, or particular focus on military/police training
In general, I like fic that focuses on characters and relationships, or on the social aspects of worldbuilding. Character studies delight me, and so do tropefics. Porn is welcome but absolutely not required. I enjoy reading about intimacy - characters having a strong connection (platonic or romantic, doesn’t matter) which helps them resist whatever awful things they have to face.
My requests this year are:
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous(2005): Sam Fuller, Gracie Hart
Prince of Silk and Thorns - Cherry Dare: Alar (Prince of Silk and Thorns) Garrin (Prince of Silk and Thorns)
Werewolf Marines - Lia Silver: Dale “DJ” Torres, Echo (Werewolf Marines)
Chester 5000 XYV - Any character
1. Miss Congeniality 2 is the world’s femslashiest buddy cop movie.
Grace Hart is a graceless dork, who learns how to be feminine out of rage and spite and duty. Twice! She gets very good at it, despite the pratfalls and not-very-well-hidden rage issues. I love that she loves women in a respect-and-solidarity-and-protectiveness way. And, you know, possibly in other ways.
Sam Fuller is so hot and angry (for very good reasons) that I fell for her as soon as she came on the screen. She wants to be completely stoic and job-focused, but she’s all astute comments and rage and style and sickly woobie backstory. Part of her tension with Grace is that they both face similar pressures, and have very different approaches to solving them. And then, after they get over the self-defensiveness, they start really respecting each other’s skills and methods.
And then they save each other’s lives and snark off into the sunset. I really love this movie.
I would love anything about their post-movie relationship. Fluff where they share food or keep getting into each other’s personal space. Angst with kidnapping or scary-looking flesh wounds. It’s a great fandom for tropefic - sex pollen! sharing body heat! - as well as for AUs (ballgowns! broadswords!) . Basically, I just want them to be important to each other and care deeply for each other, in whatever way you think that will manifest.
2. Prince of Silk and Thorns is a slavefic erotica with a plot and fallen angels and just about every hurt/comfort trope known to mankind.
Alar is a regal, angelic jerk with a very angsty backstory. He’s also weirdly sweet, in a smug but devoted way, once he gets over himself. And he suffers v. beautifully and is very into self-sacrifice.
Garrin is the world’s most entertaining slavefic narrator. He is just so reasonable. He gets into all these very subby situations, he even obtains subby superpowers, but his narrative voice is always very dignified and practical.
My favourite parts of canon were the ones where Alar was hurt and Garrin took care of him. I loved the power reversal, I loved that Garrin took it all in stride. So I’d be delighted if you wrote me either:
a. Alar getting tragically hurt and then rescued
b. Alar and Garrin deciding to experiment with the kind of kink where Alar is the one subbing. It’s entirely possible the experiment would fail!
If you’re not into the power inversion scenario, I would also love reading domestic bliss fic for them, with horseshoes and learning to function in the community they chose for themselves.
3. Werewolf Marines is a series of romance novels about loyalty, clones, trauma, and all kinds of love.
DJ is MY FAVOURITE fluffy-haired werewolf. He is so kind, so attentive. I love that he’s overflowing with empathy for everyone he meets. I love his rambles and his love of music and the way he offers Echo an escape.
Echo surprised me so much - I expected her to be much more, well, cold and tragic, and less friendly. She is valiant and passionate and loyal to her sister, and so self-aware. Her life is tragic, and I love that she manages to fall in love anyway.
I would like fic set during or immediately after the book. I just really enjoy their dynamics, and the fact that they found a slice of happiness despite everything. I love that they’re both ready to sacrifice themselves for the people they love, and that they bond over this and respect each other’s choices and priorities. And their banter delights me completely, and I love that they’re having sex now and can combine snark with sex! Or snark with kink! (I was into the clothes-ripping thing; pretty sure DJ was also into it.)
Or, I would also really really love reading them in a different setting AU - would they have the same dynamic if they weren’t forced to work together by a creepy collection of governmentally sanctioned supervillains? Possibly they would!
4. Chester 5000 XYV is a polyamorous Victorian sex comic about an inventor, his wife, her robot, a widow, and her husband. There is no dialogue. There are really interesting power dynamics and character arcs, and a lot of beautiful and meaningful sex. You can read it here(NSFW)!
I requested Any character, because any subset of the OT5 appeals to me, including individual character studies. Or all of them together!
Chester is fascinating. I wonder what desire feels like for a robot! I love Priscilla’s courage and the fact that SHE ACTUALLY LEARNED ROBOTICS to get her love back. (That was my favourite panel possibly.) I hated Robert for a while after his jealous rampage, but he redeemed himself by being all repentant and humble and tragic. I love everything about Isabelle and George’s backstory, and the way everything came together and they all fit so well.
It would be very cool to hear internal dialogue during canon scenes, but fic set after the current storyline is equally welcome. This is a WIP with a not very predictable updating schedule, so don’t worry about about keeping up-to-date with new developments! You could also write about this world - orphanages, supervillains, robotics, I dig it all. <3
(Please don't write me Chesty though.)
