dear yuletide author

It's that time of year again! YAY YULETIDE.

GENERAL LIKES/DISLIKES: I do have a really eclectic collection of requests this year, but I am always easy for found family and characters who really love one another. I like my Yuletide story on the happier side, though if you specialize in melancholy and feels-punchy I will absolutely love that too. And but optional details are of course optional! If there is a fic you're burning to write in the fandom assigned you, please go as your heart moves you.

CAPTIVE PRINCE: I'd love something post-series that addresses how exactly Damen and Laurent start the political process of uniting their kingdoms -- how do they reconcile their cultures? What are they going to do about an heir/the long-term viability of ruling together? How do their various ways of being politically competent compliment each other? Otoh if you don't want to do plotty politicking, any nice post-series slice-of-life with the two of them (porny or not!) would also/or instead be a delight.

WAYFARERS: Again, something post-series would be great! I'd love a story about the crew dealing with Ohan as a single entity, and how the dynamics among them change; if you want to do something plotty, I'd be fascinated to see how Ohan feels post-virus, and whether he is content to just stay on the ship or wants to connect with the others of his species who are also single entities now. I'm also up for anything about Dr. Chef (I love Dr. Chef so much!) or indeed anything about the crew as a family. I'd also be really into a story about Rosemary and Sissix's relationship -- visiting Sissix's relatives, or having Sissix hang out with some humans, or just a day in the life with the two of them, whatever! Honestly anything about the Wayfarer crew as found family would be wonderful.

PROVENANCE: I would love anything about any of these ridiculous people! How does the Tic/Garal and Ingray/Taucris double date go? What adventures do Tic and Garal get up to together? What's Ingray's life like after the events of the book? Do any of them end up going to the Conclave? I also just love this universe as a whole, so if you want, say, any of these characters meeting any of the characters from the Radch trilogy, that would be really cool! These are all just suggestions off the top of my head, really anything about any of them would be lovely.

CRIMSON PEAK: Sorry, this is one of my more specific requests! What I'd really love from a Crimson Peak story is a weird gothic Thomas/Lucille/Edith threesome, though I have no preference for whether this is an AU where no one is trying to kill anyone or an extra layer to the existing story. If a weird gothic threesome really isn't your jam, though, that's okay! I'd also take a story about Thomas and Lucille before Edith turned up, or a story about Edith writing her sensational novel after the events of the movie, etc.

ROAD TO EL DORADO: I would love really any story about Miguel and Tulio and Chel! An OT3 would be particularly delightful, as would a ridiculous heist, but I'd also take a story about any of them pre-movie, or really whatever strikes your fancy.
