(no subject)
Dear Yuletide Author,
First of all, thank you! I know that writing for someone else can be stressful, especially this time of year which can be so crazy. I don't know what you're going to write me, but I'm already looking forward to it!
I'm generally easy to please. I like plotty adventures and introspective character pieces. I adore fluff and shippy fics but I won't say no to angst or humor and I'm always up for some gen fic. I'm open to AUs, as long as they don't change the entire premise of the story. Just no extreme violence, character bashing, or dub/non-con.
More specific details!

I knew I was going to love Toby and Rupert's relationship from the moment Rupert showed up and was giving Toby crap about his broken leg while he gave Rupert crap about only loving animals. And I was right! They have such a lovely friendship. I love how they seem to get one another without it being hard. Rupert's line in FitzOsbornes at War about "We've had rows before and we'll have them again" sums it up perfectly; not much is going to get between these two. I also love that Rupert knew about Toby's relationship with Simon and didn't care about the ~morals~ of it beyond that Toby was being miserable. I'd love to read a fic about how they met at Eton, or Toby spending time with Rupert's family. I'm also up for post-book fic too: how does their relationship change after the war? Also, if you want to include Sophie, please do! I do feel a little robbed that we never got to see Toby gloating over Sophie and Rupert's relationship.

You guys, we need to talk about Moril. This kid! He really is the tragic character of the series. He had so much responsibility dropped onto him at a young age--not just with the death of Clennen and Kialan and all that, but also coming into control of the cwidder's power. Everything that happened at Flenpass, and using the cwidder to send people to the past, or even keep an entire battle from crashing down on their heads. And then you have Hestefan's horrible betrayal on top of it all. That's a lot for one kid. So basically, this is a long way of saying that I need post-Crown fic and I need it now. How did the Hestefan reveal change Moril? Did he become a spy in the Uprising like his father? How did he adjust to the changing role of Singers? Please use as many other characters from the books as you would like. I only put Moril because I didn't want to limit you in choosing other characters to use.

Ugh, I am so not over this show's cancellation. Bridget revealing herself was huge, and the scenes with Andrew and Juliet were so painful. And Siobhan not being on top of things really threw me. I would love to see fic about all these characters' next steps. Does Bridget try to re-establish a relationship with Andrew (or rather finally establish one as herself?) Does Siobhan instantly come up with a new dastardly scheme or is she stuck in a bad situation? Do Siobhan and Bridget meet again? What does Juliet think about all this? (I wanted to include her in my request but she was not nominated.) None of these are clear-cut Things I Need, just throwing out some ideas.

Marhsals! I love these three (and Art!) so much! I find it hilarious how Rachel and Tim freely acknowledge that Raylan is a miserable person to work with, but that they still like him and will do a lot to help him anyway. Rachel and Tim have one of my favorite relationships on the show as well--they always seem to be on the same wavelength. I'm really open to anything for these three, fic-wise. Case-fic would be awesome (what idiot criminal are they going after this week?), although I'd be up for the three of them just hanging out. Also, I would kill to know what those two would say about Raylan as a father. Just as long as it's not too angsty, I will love it!
