Dear Yuletide Writer

[spoke]

Hello, and thank you for writing for me! I hope you have no matter which fandom we match on. One of my fandoms this year is very new, and has that newness excitement to it, but everything I've chosen is something I love very much and will be thrilled to read a story for.

So! DNWs as covered in the signup: no A/B/O, incest, child abuse, watersports or similar, please! Also no m-preg and non-con; dubious consent is an exception for some of my fandoms, but I will note specifically when one is.

Likes! Worldbuilding and character pieces, mysteries and slice of life and sometimes fluff even! Happy endings are always good, when canonically possible - and I don't think any of my fandoms this year are on the unhappier end of the spectrum. Alternate realities and crossovers are always welcome, and I'll have a list of crossover fandoms at the end of the letter in case you want it.

A note if you've matched with me on The Memoirs of Lady Trent: I am fully caught up with the series and as such that part of my letter is a screaming mass of Spoiler. So that part is white-texted to prevent accidental spoiling in case anyone else reads this letter looking for treats, as I will certainly be reading others'.

Onward to fandom details!

Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells Seriously?! Malachite and Pearl?! I just. It's like some bizzare buddy comedy that's also a political intrigue: one's a reclusive former widow who hates emotional complications and people in general, one's the greatest emotional complication her people have ever produced, together they fight crime!

Or, you know, people-eating jackasses.

Seriously, anything with these two as they start basically flirting and terrify their respective courts with how attractive that is would be wonderful.

Alternately, I got really attached to Kethel as the story progressed, and I've always loved Delin because he's like. Me if I were a guy and lived in that world. "What? A chance to fly off and study predators who will likely attempt to eat me? Well damn, I'm not getting any younger, let's do this!" Kethel talking to Delin would be fantastic, and I'm sure he has stories to tell even if he doesn't understand it yet. Delin could be an interesting teacher in that regard, even if it weren't his actual goal.


skip) The Memoirs of Lady Trent - Marie Brennan WHAAAAT. WHAAAT?! How does, what, the fudge, I can't even it was THERE THE WHOLE TIME, WATCHING US FROM THE CORNERS OF ITS EYES HOLY SHIT.

Okay, deep breaths. I can be calm. ACTUAL FUCKING DRAGON PEOPLE NO I CAN'T. I was so surprised and excited and I actually screamed when I realized who had found Isabella, and then I thought about all the little hints leading up to this, but I mean. Humans make animal-headed gods, that is just A Thing, who knew?! WHO KNEW.

Bloody Marie Brennan, that's who, well done ma'am and also thank you. :D :D :D

Anyway. Okay. So what happens now? I mean, there are so many possibilities, from the slow expansion and change of the Draconeans and the future of a society where humans and Draconeans are living together, presumably in relative peace or the Lady Trent would have mentioned it, right? To just. Like. Noir-detective fic with dragon lady detectives. Dragon people IN SPACE. Seriously, how well do the adaptive properties of their people work in terms of colonizing other planets?

I want all the stories about them doing anything and everything, and also stories about Ruzt and Zam and Kahhe and their Adventures Among The Humans. Do they become like, political figures among their people after? Do they go back to peacefully farming? What happens next!!!

Alternately, I adore Suhail. Adventures in archaeology before he meets Isabella, or afterwards! Or what it's like for him to serve as a hostage while she's off irrecoverably changing the world. Or even like, domestic fluff from life before or after the world got table-flipped!


Ronin Warriors The oldest fandom of my heart, and one that I have gotten wonderful stories for in the past! But there is always room for another. Tell me about Shuten and Rajura, and what their lives were like in the Dynasty before the invasion, maybe when they first showed up? Or what they'd have been like if the Dynasty had won (ignoring the paperweight problem if you feel like it, or going with that could be interesting).

Or tell me about Xiu/Kento, and what he does with his life after everything. Or a dark au where he does sign up for future paper-weighting (not that he'd know that). Guess which line I have stuck in my head at the moment! But I honestly love him, and think he'd be the better leader/would have grown into that position naturally - he is actually being trained to be the leader of his clan, so.

i am also completely okay with interchangeable/merged canons, as you might have guessed from the names.


The Night Circus Someday I will run away and join this circus. I have yet to figure out how! But someday it will happen.

Tell me about Bailey finding new people to join the circus, thinking up new acts as the world changes around them. Tell me about Celia and Marco teaching him magic, which they surely must have done even as ghosts within the circus?

Tell me about Bailey finding other little boys who want to be the princess in the story, who want to be swept away on an adventure. Tell me about him finding little girls who want to be knights.

Tell me about the twins and their magic, how it grows and changes with the circus. Tell me about all the things that change, and the ones that stay the same. The places they go, the people they meet, everything and anything.

Crossoverables and Fusionables I do like fusions more, come to think of it... anything I've requested, of course, and also:
Pokemon
Stargate Atlantis
Kingdom Hearts
Dark is Rising
Chrono Cross
Chrono Trigger
Parasite Eve
Breath of Fire 3 and 4
Megaman Legends
