Dear Yuletide writer
Oct. 20th, 2021 10:08 amthank you so much for offering one of my fandoms! I love them all a lot and I hope you'll have fun writing for any of them!
If you want to know what I like, here's a list of things I like to read in fanfics:
angst, genfic, character study, crack fics, songfics, texting fics, interactive fiction, fake dating, mutual or onesided pining, hopelessly oblivious characters, open or vague endings, unhappy endings, misunderstandings and miscommunication, metaphors, introspection and internal monologues, unusual POVs, hurt no comfort, time travelling, time jumps and messed up timelines, missing scenes, questioning of one's principles, epiphanies, cooking and food vlogs, historical AUs, carnival and masquerade balls, flirting, doppelganger stories and uncanny circumstances, recovery from physical injuries or only partial recovery and how one mentally deals with it, flowers metaphors or similes or anything that has to do with flowers in general, extra bonus if it's daffodils or wisteria.
And here's a list of my general DNWs:
- romantic marriage proposals and weddings
- MPreg
- prolonged and repeated adultery
- ABO
- Mafia AUs and Darkfic in general
- Royalty Aus
Not really a hard DNW but something that I don't appreciate much is when a fic ends with the "Do you want to be my girlfriend/boyfriend?" question. Anything less explicit and formal is okay though. Same goes for fluff: established relationship fic where characters are just being sappy to each other or cuddling fluffy animals? Not really my kind of jam. By this I do not mean that I absolutely don't want any of that in my gift, but just that I'd prefer if it wasn't the main focus of the fic.
And a little explanation about the adultery DNW: I am generally made very uncomfortable by stories in which a character cheats on their partner (inside of an established relationship) for a prolonged span of time, I simply cannot stand the tension that generates, but I am okay with a one time slip or open relationships; and, just saying it because you never know: having multiple crushes at the same time is totally valid.
About my darkfic DNW: what I don't want is the kind of darkfic where a lot of characters are evil and, more or less subtly, scheming against some other character, voluntarily inflicting them physical and/or psychological pain and often going into the illegal to do so. On the other hand I like the angst that comes from within, self deprecation, self doubt, the conviction of not being enough etch... but also the angst that comes from outside - just not so much when it's purposefully inflicted - the sour taste of a defeat, the sorrow of a broken heart, the mourning of a loss...
Does this mean that I would be disappointed if my gift had an happy ending? Not at all! I would probably love it all the same, I just think that a happy ending is not always necessary. Another kind of ending that I particularly like is one where characters end up going their separate ways, because that's how life goes sometimes, right? And that doesn't necessarily mean that they will stop caring about each other ;)
And that's pretty much all about what I don't like, for the rest, feel free to go wild, you can totally disregard my prompts, I won't mind! Surprise me!
If you want to write smut, I'm open to it for any of my requests
Here's what I do not like to read in smut:
- lingerie kink
- non canonical big cocks
- in het ships, he pleasuring her without her reciprocating
- unprotected sex outside of a longterm, exclusive relationship
- daddy kink
- sex pollen
And here what I do like to read:
- talk during sex ( not necessarily dirty talk but also just communication about how they feel, or even random chatting)
- dom/sub
- spanking
- appreciations of backs, extra points if they're nicely bendy
- voyeurism
- characters being very eager to give head
- appreciation of forearms

Love. In Cyberia
Disclaimer: of the whole Justine Duval series I have only read this and the first book.
I have read this book as a teenager, and reread it many times during those years. It's extremely fascinating but it leaves you inevitably unsatisfied. I need more.
I need more Justine/Los moments.
What if they keep in touch via emails? What if with the advancing of technology they end up video chatting?
Will Justine be her reckless self and follow him in another time? How will she deal with the different views they have about love relationships?
Or what if Los completely cuts ties with Justine but never forgets about her, bringing her in his heart in all his time travels? Will he go in, say 2097, and look for Justine's niece? Niece of which Chuck could be the grandpa...
I can appreciate a post canon in which Justine and Chuck get together, even if what she experienced changed her forever.
Or I can totally see a post canon where she's still all over Los and has some misadventures going after him, and Chuck is always there to help her clean up the mess she makes or save her from something and eventually - eventually - she sees what she's go in front of her.
I would also love some Chuck&Los bonding over having to fix all the crazy things Justine does.
Honestly, there's so much material revolving around time jumps and ethics!
Ski Jumping RPF
I have a really soft spot for Daniel and almost as much for Ryoyu. Do I ship them together? Absolutely. But I also love some disastrous Tandlinger or a cliché roommates Naoki/Ryoyu - I mean, they are roommates!!
A good idea about that last ship came to me some time ago when Nao posted a story pic with Tatsunao: Naoki involuntarily messing up with the Kobayashi family. Something like he's crushing on Roy and spending time with Tatsu, who listens to his love ramblings; Roy misunderstands and gets jealous. Extra kudos for bringing into the picture Yuka and Junshiro too!
But really, I'll take anything! Naoki is the purest ray of sunshine ever, always smiling and taking time to make the others smile around him too (do we need to talk about that one time in june when he did a joined insta live just because he had an hunch Roy was feeling lonely and wanted to cheer him up? That was absolutely golden).
Ryoyu is just the coolest king and Daniel too is an absolute sunshine, and I'm so amazed by his determination! I'd love some hurt/comfort set after his terrible fall this spring.
Also I am very emo about Andy finally being back in a good shape after all the struggles that he had last season.
I just love ski jumping a lot and love even more their friendship and their shenanigans... and the friendly atmosphere of this sport in general, so if you prefer genfic that is fine too, I'm just really starved for this fandom! Also feel free to add other jumpers if you want, there's space for everyone in my heart!

Disclaimer: I have not watched the last season of this show yet, tho I fully intend to, so my prompts may not totally alight with the events of it But feel free to write about that season if you want, I definitely plan on watching it before the end of the year!
The cases of the series may be good, but the rest sometimes it's so cliché it's ridiculous, I've lost count of how many tropes they've used. But, honestly? I love it all.
One thing of this ship that absolutely fascinates me is the way they have of talking to each other: one second calling the other by surname, the other by the first name, some other times with their role; and constantly switching between formal and informal language, even if I know this one part doesn't translate too well in english, so, in case you want to, for this one I'm also open to fic in french, italian or spanish, all languages which have formal grammatical forms.
Another thing I enjoy is how these two are constantly at each other's throats, and yet they're always there to comfort and support each other. Both their characters tend to have outbursts of anger or frustration and that puts them in contrast but at the same time brings them closer, with Florence a bit more in control: she apologizes right after and is always there to remind Pascal to keep his cool; how does he feel about this?
I'm a sucker for unfulfilled desires, and the sexual tension through out all the series is so strong, I would just love something that concentrates on how they dance around each other, tying to remain professional but evidently struggling to do it. Are they having ethic dilemmas over it? In season four we see how both of them sort of try to get distracted with someone else, both attempts failing....
I'm okay with any setting change AU as long as it somehow keeps the power imbalance, even if it gets switched.
Also, let's not forget the age difference! In the first season I kind of felt that she was much more mature than him, even if the gap slowly seemed to lose relevance as the series went on. I love that she is a mature woman which has already had husband and a kid and which has somehow abandoned her hopes of a successful career, and that he has an obscure, secret past that his tattoos constantly remind everybody of.
And feel free to add other tropes or just expand on the ones they used already, that sharing a room situation was cut disappointingly short... what if they had stayed there one night already before the dude attacked the priest?
I really hope you liked my prompts and found them inspiring, and whatever you'll make of it I'll be
your happy receiver
