Dear Author!
I love Yuletide! Hooray, we matched!
Squicks: If your fic heads in a sexy direction please try to stay away from bodily waste, bestiality, and from sexualizing anyone who hasn't hit puberty.
General likes: I like pretty much everything. Crack, fluff, angst, gen, het, femslash, slash, G rated fic, kissing, porn, five things, canon, wacky AUs, coffee shop AUs, AUs in space, vampire AUs, superpowers, AUs that explore what if things had been just a little different where there's a single point of timeline divergence*, epistolaries, character studies, curtainfic**, anything. Pick the mood or content you feel best fits the prompt and go for it. Set any of these fics in any time period or universe or keep them in canon.
*(this might be cool for the Daveed Diggs prompt!)
** (or, Prince Harry asking Kate Middleton what it's like shopping for your own drapes!)
On RPF: If you write an RPF fic in-canon, I am a huge sucker for crunchy bits of canon that are woven into the narrative that make it come to life and seem more realistic (e.g., mentioning an anecdote from an interview or something they've said on Twitter). I LOVE exploration of the interplay between the public and private sides of a celebrity's life.
This letter, as many Yuletide letters, has probably way more information than you need to write a fic. I also am a firm believer that Yuletide is the best when the author enjoys what they're writing. I want to get something that you want to write, so if you already had an idea and you don't think you need any more guidance GO FOR IT and feel free not to read on.
On to the prompts...
British Royalty RPF; Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Harry
OT3! Domestic fluff, sexytimes, babyfic, whatever. I'd like anything that involves a three way romantic dynamic between them.
If you're not comfortable with that, anything with any 2 of the 3 works for me. Just Will/Kate, Harry/Kate, or Will/Harry would all be my jam.
I love an in-canon fic, but it also could be interesting to see an AU where they aren't modern UK royalty, but are set in a historical period or are space royalty, secret vampire royalty, or similar.
The Request: I'm just really into these three. I love that at the wedding Harry sneaked a peek back and said "wait till you see her". I love that Will couldn't attend the rehearsal and Harry had to stand in for him. I love that they at one point all LIVED TOGETHER. I love basically everything this article (lol Daily Mail) says. I would love any kind of stable triad fic of any rating.
I also am super into all subsets of the triad. Kate/Will, Kate/Harry, and Harry/Wills. I am into incest, but if you're not, please don't write anything outside your comfort zone.
Hamilton RPF; Daveed Diggs, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jonathan Groff,
Honestly, I'd love to read a character piece about Daveed Diggs. I read an interview where he said "I had decided early on that Broadway would not have a space for me, so I was taken aback by how intense [the first Hamilton preview] felt." I'd love some delving into what it would be like to move from his experimental hip hop group into the very politically different world of Broadway and how it felt to be part of a cast and a production that was making a space for him and artists like him on Broadway.
I know that could sound SUPER daunting and/or boring to you, author. If that's the case, no sweat! Instead of a Daveed Diggs fic, I would definitely love the big RPF zeitgeist here: LMM and Groff. In any way, romantic or platonic, that high school AU where they got cast in the play!!, what happened after the kissing vine, anything.
The Request: First of all, I know we would have matched on all 3, but I don't need all 3 characters to appear in the fic. Use whoever, however you see fit.
I find Daveed Diggs super compelling as maybe the prime example of the hip-hop/Broadway fusion going on here. Lin-Manuel is obviously super knowledgeable about and comfortable with hip-hop but has primarily lived and worked in the musical theater space. He's definitely a Broadway Guy. Diggs, although he has Ivy League theatrical training, seems to have lived more in the hip-hop space. He went straight from a tour with his experimental hip hop group clipping immediately into originating a role in a smash hit Broadway musical. Like I mentioned, he's said he essentially felt excluded from Broadway. Oh, and Talib Kweli singled him out from the rest of the cast: 'That’s an MC. That’s not a traditional Broadway dude. That’s a guy who raps and was put in this play because he raps.' I'd just love an exploration of all these things and how it felt for him to not only find his place on Broadway, but essentially make a place for himself on Broadway and then inhabit it so thoroughly.
And then there's the out: I know that's a pretty intense kind of request and it might demand a lot more than a typical Yuletide fic, so if you're not feeling it (and please don't force it if you're not feeling it), I'd love an LMM/Groff fic, either as a romantic pairing or just about their banter and camaraderie and friendship. Or, you know, I'd just take 1,000 words of Jonathan Groff, walk enthusiast, going back to his dressing room and dealing with his emotions after Beyonce complimented his walk.
Agent Carter RPF; Hayley Atwell
Hayley Atwell laying ruin to the world's stuntmen.
Hayley has tweeted/talked in interviews about injuring stuntmen on set during fight scenes because she's so clumsy and has bad aim or whatever. I just want fic about adorable clumsy Hayley Atwell injuring big strong professionally athletic men on accident.
The Request: You know, something like this:
@HayleyAtwell perfect aim😂😂 pic.twitter.com/agsQ6x9VoX

If you're not super into that then follow your heart. Dubsmash shenanigans, any kind of on-set fun, I'll read any of it!
