Dear Yuletide Author
Dear Yuletide Author,
First, thank you so much for signing up to write a fic for me! I'm excited about each of my requested fandoms, so I'm certain I'm going to love whatever you come up with!
I wanted to start by giving you some general information about my likes and dislikes. I like slow build, banter. I like characters who like each other. Teasing, humour, fluff, smut. I like slice of life fic, character studies, bed sharing, trapped in confined spaces--basically, any romantic cliche you can come up with. I love tropes and trope subversion. Marriage of convenience, pining, soulmates, D/s. I love phone sex and sexting.
I think I'd prefer canon fic, unless stated otherwise in the prompt, BUT if you have an AU idea that really speaks to you, please feel free to run with that! I'd rather you write something you're really excited about than try to stick to my prompts if none of them speak to you! So really please use anything I say as guidelines (except for my dislikes, please!) As I said above, you really can't go wrong with tropes. I love me a good tropey fic. I am also here for trope inversion, so anything you want to take and spin around on its head, I am also 100% here for that.
As for dislikes, there's not a lot I outright don't like. Please don't make me super sad. I'm okay with some angst, but happy endings, please! I don't like infidelity, watersports, or character death. I'm pretty much up for anything else! I love all the characters I've requested, and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Onto the specifics!
The Bright Sessions
Caleb Michaels, Adam Hayes
I fell in love with Caleb from his first appearance on the podcast, and was delighted when what I thought was cute gay subtext turned out to be cute gay actual text. I'll be delighted with anything you want to do with the two of them, from a missing scene, to future fic. I JUST LOVE AND MISS THEM!
I came into the Bright Sessions, quite late (I think it was around episode 50), so I got to binge through most of it, and I just fell in love with the whole world, and Caleb and Adam in particular. Sweet jocks are basically my kyrptonite, so I was destined to love Caleb, but throw in NERD/JOCK shenangians and I was a goner.
I know Lauren has future plans for Caleb and Adam, but I'd be delighted with anything that explores their relationship in college, given it was such a source of angst for the two of them. I'd love to see them happy and thriving, or dealing with a long distance relationship and all of the challenges therein.
I'm also interested in Caleb continuing to grow and evolve with his powers. How does he handle that being surrounded by people at college? Or if you just wanted to do something like a slice of life, or missing scene from in series, I'd be totally thrilled with that as well.
I love all the other characters from the podcast, so don't shy away from bringing any of them in, if that floats your boat! Especially Dr. Bright.
Kingston Cycle (Witchmark)
Tristan Hunter, Miles Singer
This was one of my favourite books of 2018. I was completely sucked into both the world building, the characters, and the relationship. I'd love to see more of Tristan and Miles's relationship post book. SOULMATES! Witchy soulmates!
As I said in my intro, I love soulmates! It's definitely one of my favourite tropes, so I was super excited to see it show up in Miles and Tristan's relationship. My only complaint is that we didn't get enough of them!
Anything you want to do with the world building of this universe, I'd be beyond down for. It was so interesting, and I really feel like we didn't get to sink deep enough into it. I think Miles and Tristan would be good candidates for trope inversion, given Miles's history, but really I'd just love to see more of the two of them as they explore their relationship and their bond.
I'd also totally be down for a modern AU with these two, if that interests you!
Heartstopper
Charlie Spring, Nick Nelson
Heartstopper is a highlight of my day any time we get a new installment. I'd love to see more of Nick and Charlie's relationship, especially now as they start to explore being out to other people. Slice of life, missing scenes, fluff, smut, whatever speaks to you, I'm sure I'll enjoy it immensely!
I love Heartstopper, and I love Nick and Charlie so much. If you don't follow the webcomic, dear Yuletide Author, I definitely encourage you to check it out! It's very cute and sweet, and it doesn't take long to get through the whole thing, which you can find here
What I love most about Hearstopper is how every time I think there might be drama or that something will go wrong for Nick and Charlie instead it's soft and everything is okay!!! The future liberals want.
As I said in my sign up, I'd love to see more of them figuring out their relationship now that Nick's ready to start coming out. Whether that means current or future fic, I'll leave totally up to you! I loved the one future snippet Alice shared with us, so if you wanted to do more with Charlie and Nick in university, or even later, I'm absolutely into it!
I'll Give You the Sun
Noah Sweetwine, Brian Connelly
This is one of my favourite books, I just love everything about it, especially Noah and Brian and their sweet and fraught relationship. I'd really love to see more of Noan and Brian post book, working out how to be together. Jock Brian and his sweet tall artist boyfriend is everything I want!
Nerd/Jock relationships are a particular favourite of mine, as evidenced by this entire sign up request. I really loved I'll Give You the Sun, and I loved Noah and Brian a lot. I'd love to see them working out their relationship, moving on from Noah's outing of Brian, and figuring out how they can be together. I'd really prefer future fic for them, but if you have idea for something you'd like to write during the book canon, definitely go for it!
Salt Magic Skin Magic
John Blake, Soren Thornby
Another favourite 2018 read! The world was SO FASCINATING, and I of course loved John and Soren's relationship. I'm particularly curious about John's magic, so anything you wanted to explore along those lines, I'd be thrilled to read it! I'd also be interested in Soren exploring his selkie heritage, or anything that combines the two!
This world was so interesting! I really felt like I didn't get to see enough of it, so if worldbuilding is your jam please feel free to go wild! Also, as is a recurring request in this sign up, if you just wanted to do something with the two of them being togehter, I'd be totally thrilled with that as well. I think a modern au could also be really interesting with these two, if that interests you.
Alright, I think I have rambled long enough, so I'll just say thank you one more time, and that I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Happy yuletide!
