Dear Mistletoe Author,




Hello and thank you for writing something for me. This was a very last-minute sign-up, so forgive if my letter is a little messy. I divide my letters into preferences and prompts as much as I can. Preferences apply to all media in general, and you can use them as ideas and guidance for anything. Prompts are specific ideas for particular fandoms/characters/pairings. If you think there's a contradiction between the preferences and prompts, please consider the prompt to override any particular contradiction with a preference.

Oh, and I am okay with any of the casts of the fandoms I have requested appearing in your story.

That said, follow your muse and write something you want to write!

Happy holidays, I hope.

NSFW

I like character-driven smut if I receive smut. Please feel free to be as detailed or not-detailed as you like. I also enjoy a smattering of plot or context even if you mostly want to write smut. I don't so much have specific kinks I want characters to act out on my behalf as I would like to see any sexuality be an extension of the characters' dynamic and feelings. I am content with vanilla or kinky, first-time or experienced/established relationship, and so on, bearing in mind my DNWs.

Prompts



Fate/stay night



Emiya Shirou/Arturia Pendragon | Saber/Tohsaka Rin

Note: For any of these, Archer could come too, if you want.

- When Shirou and Rin are attending Clock Tower, what does Artoria get up to, being back in England? If you wanted to go that route, maybe they actually lost Artoria at the end of the HGW but get her back after their visit to Glastonbury. On the other hand, if she is their familiar, I would love a story about her being a historical tour guide for them. Or they could have an adventure with something to do with Arthurian lore, magic, or other local folklore.

- In the Sunny Day ending, Rin remarks that she will need a steady supply of mana to help keep up her flow of mana for Saber. I guess this means that the three of them need a healthy sex life, if you want to write something about that.

- Shirou has a hard time putting himself first and deals with a lot of survivor's guilt. I would love a fic involving Rin and Artoria helping him with that in their own ways.

- Rin feels a lot of the weight of her family's legacy bearing down on her shoulders, even though she is ultimately content with not doing something she doesn't want to do. I would be interested in a fic either about how she copes with learning some negative things about her family's history, particularly after learning the full truth about Kirei, or perhaps how she intends to teach her eventual child about their responsibilities and rights as a magus.

Emiya Shirou/Tohsaka Rin

Note: Archer or Saber could appear in any of these fics if you choose.

- I would love a fic about the two of them being mutually supportive as they grieve the loss of Archer and Saber in the time after UBW ends. I would like a story about them needing to have patience with each other. I would like them figuring out their boundaries and their strangely-formed intimacy in the midst of a chaotic time in their lives.

- Any kind of fic about things they do at Clock Tower, particularly with regard to Rin's role in sort of school-intrigue or in how Shirou is sort of an outsider, culturally-speaking, with very magi-like magi.

- I would like a fic about the active process of preventing Shirou from going down the path that would make him like Archer, bitter, alone, and betrayed.

- A more tasteful, fully in-character take on their H-scene.

Steins;Gate



Makise Kurisu/Okabe Rintarou

- A fic about navigating early attempts at intimacy in their relationship. It could be a sexting/social media-based fic, or it could be about when they are together in person. It can be anything from just heavy kissing to actual sex. I am most-interested in their emotions and how they would both be really sweetly awkward with it, I think. I would love to see your take on it.

- A fic about Kurisu saving Okabe and the day. It could be in one of the bad worldlines where she either saves that worldline, the Steins Gate worldline, or both. It could be about salvaging something with saving, or it could be a heroic sacrifice as long as there is hope that everyone gets to live reasonably happy somewhere. I just don't want a super grimdark ending, but a dark fic is fine!

- A story about Okabe developing healthy coping mechanisms, getting help for his PTSD, and maybe even dealing with some guilt because he is a little bit of an adrenaline-junkie-who-hates-it after all he's been through, or something. We see him dealing with that in 0, but we only got a little taste of how it would be with Kurisu being around.

- I would enjoy a fic about their lives a few years down the road, whether it is a relatively mundane slice-of-life fic or a saving-the-world fic centered around the events of Robotics;Notes or something else entirely. I would just like to see that they are still together and to see how they have matured and grown together.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer & RF



Cordelia Chase/Xander Harris

- A 'missing scene' or two from their relationship during the show that gives voice to some of the depth of their relationship which is occasionally referenced on-screen. They get to know each other quite a bit off-screen, and I would love to have a glimpse at more of that.

- An AU where the whole cheating plotline doesn't happen. What does it change? I would love if it had an appreciable, positive impact on their lives if they worked out.

- A fic where they meet again during the course of Angel. They don't necessarily have to get back together, but if they did, I would enjoy it. If not, then I would love for them to have a more solid, old-friends-who-still-care-about-each-other relationship.

- A fic that happens after Cordelia's canonical death where she influences Xander's life and possibly eventually de-ascends to be with him. I'm only vaguely familiar with the comics plot-lines, so you could reference those or go your own way. Fix-it.

Marvel Cinematic Universe (Agents of SHIELD)



Daisy Johnson/Grant Ward

- Any canon-divergent fic that gives Ward a real second chance fairly early on. It could happen during the collapse at the end of S1, or it could happen sometime in S2. I would be very interested in what would happen if Skye | Daisy didn't shoot Ward or if what Ward made it seem his plans for Kara were had been genuine. I would also love to see a fic where Skye somehow let herself give into her better angels of understanding that Ward was, in fact, brainwashed in a different way and to get to see her response to that.

- Characters in comic-based media come back from the dead all the time. I would love to see a fic where Skye | Daisy meets Ward again after her time with Hive or in the Framework. She understands him better now, and she never got the chance for it to matter. I would love to see her get to tell him and get to act accordingly.

- I would love a slice of life fic from further out in an AU where either Ward was saved from Garrett and himself earlier in the story or where Skye | Daisy and Ward went and made their own side of things away from the rest of the world and their allegiances.

- A fic where Ward is an Inhuman instead/too and this changes things. He could have pyromancy powers, or anything else you think is appropriate.

Daisy Johnson/Framework Grant Ward

- Some handwave-y magical way that Framework!Ward can come back with them out of the Framework and stay in Skye|Daisy's life. If you want to go into the how/why, that would be cool. If you just want to say that it happened and focus on the adjustment and reality of it, that would be great, too!

- I would love a fic about the Framework world as if it were the 'real' one. I see a lot of people talk about how Framework!Ward didn't care that his Skye was Hydra and then didn't care that she was Inhuman. He was just so in love with her that he was willing to do anything to make sure it worked out for them. I would love a fic about Framework!Skye/Framework!Ward.

- Alternatively, I would love a fic that just explicitly dealt with canon!Skye|Daisy actually reckoning with how much he loved his Skye and how this is kind of a loss for him, too.

- Some kind of thing where canon happened as it happened but through their timeline hopping in S7, Skye|Daisy ultimately ends up finding him through the multiplicity of timelines. I know it doesn't quite make sense, but it's just an idea.

Portal



Chell/Wheatley

Note: I know a lot of fans are hardcore into the idea that human Wheatley must look like and be Stephen Merchant. I'm more on the fence. This is fine, but it doesn't have to be that way if you go a route where it's relevant.

- AU where most of Portal 2 didn't happen and the escape plan went off as-planned. I would just love to see what would happen if they did just quickly and relatively easily escape. What are they going to do now? It's fine if he remains a robot ball or somehow gains a human form.

- I am familiar with the popular Blue Sky fanfic and would read anything set in that 'universe.'

- AU where Wheatley inhabited an android body that was so convincing that Chell originally believed he was human. She might feel betrayed when she finds out he is, in fact, a machine. Was he always a machine? How does this affect the rest of what happens throughout Portal 2 and beyond?

- Standard Wheatley somehow gets his chance to apologize fic. Is he in a humanoid body or not? Either way, how do they navigate their relationship? I would honestly be interested in Chell initially finding herself attached to and maybe falling for his personality while he is still in this weird-to-have-a-relationship-with shape but eventually getting her Beast-turns-to-Prince moment with him.

DC's Arrowverse (Arrow)



Laurel Lance/Tommy Merlyn

- Tommy miraculously survives the end of S1. Then what?

- Tommy becomes a superhero (or temporary villain turned hero/antihero) and Laurel deals with this information. Is it before or after she has become the Black Canary? Is she mortified because she is anti-vigilante? Does this constitute him coming back from the dead, too?

- Tommy somehow comes back during the time that Laurel is dead in canon. He is determined to get her back and succeeds.

- Oliver actually freaking fixed Laurel's death, too, in addition to Tommy, because undoing Laurel's pointless death doesn't negate that Earth-2 Laurel matters, too. I just really want Laurel and Tommy to get a fair shot and life and being together.
