YAGKYAS Secret Santa Letter
Dear fabulously wonderful author,
This was what I requested:
Pairing Request(s): Colbert/Fick, Bryan/Kocher
Character Request(s): Bryan, Kocher
Wildcard Crossover Request: Bones
Short prompt: The National Mall isn't really a place to make out.
First of all, thank you for signing up! It makes me feel all giddy. I think it's pretty clear that I fall in line with the OTP of this fandom, and I think I've put out enough stories to give a writer a good idea of what it is I enjoy so much about Brad and Nate. But in short form, I love realism, I love established relationships, I love, dear god, curtainfic, and if I could get a thousand words on Brad and Nate bickering about which jet skis they're going to buy and where they are going to take them for their summer holiday, I would be appallingly happy.
That is not to say you should write that! Write what comes to you. But I am not much for UST or angst, I loathe the trope of "oh my god I was straight oh my god now I'm gay," having sex in theater seems like it would involve too much risk of disease and also gross smells, and kidfic doesn't really interest me either. I like seeing two competent, intelligent adults building a life together, with normal bullshit rather than drama.
With Bryan/Kocher, I think that their attitudes make them interesting mirrors of one another--one runs off at the mouth, the other bottles it up, but they are both powerful, influential, and clearly opinonated. I'd like to see what happens outside Iraq, either immediately or in the future, when these men aren't constrainted by circumstance or hierarchy. Smut is well loved with these two.
I encourage you to write gen, too, if that's your thing! A story about Bryan's secret adventure post-Iraq would be cool, or Kocher doing whatever it is Kocher does. And if you feel inspired to use the wildcard, I'll tell you, I have this idea in my head about how all the DC-based showed actually exist concurrently, so maybe Booth and Colbert go drinking together, or Fick and Brennan meet at a conference. It could be fun.
The prompt is silly; the National Mall is very windy, but I guess the Washington Monument might inspire something...
Anyway, have fun, play around, and thank you for taking part.
