Dear Yuletide Author,

Happy best-part-of-the-year, which in my opinion is the end of summer on! Thank you for being interested in writing something for one of my fandoms. Except for my DNW list, please consider my prompts optional and flexible. I want you to write something you find fun!

I divide my letters into preferences and prompts. Preferences cover general things I like or don't like in fiction, while prompts talk about the specific fandoms or characters requested. If you think that a specific prompt is in conflict with one of my more general preferences, please consider the prompt to override any inconsistency. There are some things that I only like in specific fandoms or contexts, so that should help clear up any confusion.

If you would like to stalk me online to get a better vibe for what I'm into, I'm

Prix and here is my carrd.

NSFW

If you have reason to include smut or anything like that, feel free to be as detailed or fade-to-black as you like. I enjoy sexuality in stories when it contributes to the character development of a character or ship. Therefore, I don't have highly specific preferences for kinks usually. I mostly want it to ring true to the characters are you are writing them as long as it stays within my DNW limits.

I do like sex pollen or aliens/magic made them do it tropes if the characters are already attracted to each other and they deal with the consequences or aftermath of the dubcon aspect of that, if it suits your story.

Prompts

WIP - 10/17/21

ロード・エルメロイⅡ世の事件簿 - 三田誠 | Lord El-Melloi II Case Files - Sanda Makoto

Waver Velvet

Relationships I'm into (optional): Waver/Iskandar; Waver(/|&)Luvia; Waver Velvet & Gray; Svin/Gray; Gray & Svin & Flat; Flat(/|&)Svin; Waver(/|&)Melvin; any gen

Optional Prompts:

- I find Waver and Melvin's relationship sort of on the cusp of both very sweet and rather creepy. I would love a fic that sort of fell into a thriller vein where either a) Melvin is doing something creepy and shady or b) it SEEMS that he is doing so where Waver has to deal with the sense of vulnerability of not knowing if Melvin is really on his side or not. I'd prefer an ending that didn't make Melvin actually evil, but complex Clock Tower political BS makes me happy.

- Arranged or fake relationships for political security or gain. It is alright if Waver is one of the people in one of these relationships or if it's someone else from the list above. I just want to see the angst and drama and potential real feelings that these situations reveal. If they involve sexuality for Gray, Svin, or Flat, I'd prefer it be when they were 18+ if it involves anything but kissing or UST.

- Dismantling the Fuyuki Grail and interacting with any of the FSN/Case Files/FZ casts including Iskandar remembering him; stuff involving Chaldea played straight including interaction with Iskandar (any version of him, remembers Waver or not, etc.); World building/exploration with Waver at its center

Kara no Kyoukai | The Garden of Sinners

Ryougi Shiki, Kokutou Mikiya

Relationships I'm into (optional): Shiki/Mikiya; Shiki/Mikiya & Touko; Shiki/Mikiya/Touko; Shiki/Mikiya/Enjou

- Enjou somehow survives or is rebooted as a robot-thing and needs to be helped to continue to survive in this state. Shiki and Mikiya both bonded with him in odd ways, and he's a messed up, traumatized creature. Shiki and Mikiya have different ideas about how to help him.

- Touko has been gone for a while but ends up back in the orbit of Shiki and Mikiya post-Murder Speculation Part 2. She owes Shiki a thumb and maybe Mikiya an eye, right? Even if she can't help with that, some problem-of-the-week shows them that she can't stay away forever.

- Anything about Mikiya and Shiki settling into and negotiating actually being together. This could be shippy and/or sexy fic or curtain fic or anything where their pull to get involved in weird shit around town gets them into trouble but they get through it better this time.

The Flight Attendant (TV)

Cassie Bowden

Relationships I'm into (optional): Cassie & Annie/Max; Cassie/Annie/Max

Fandom-Specific DNWs: Romantic Cassie/Miranda or anything focusing primarily on Miranda's sex/love life (just because that's like... the only thing in the tag right now with Cassie and I want to see some variety, no judgment!)

- Cassie's little mind-hotel space actually turns out to be something other than a trauma coping mechanism. It's an alternate dimension or a power or the result of some kind of Russian black magic. Any of the above. Anything you can think of. I would just love if this spooky aspect of this otherwise mundane-reality world turned out to be substantive rather than just a symptom of Cassie needing help (which it can also be).

- Post-Canon when Cassie becomes a secret agent of whatever, she has to again deal with keeping secrets from Annie. Maybe she disappears for a while, and this is upsetting to Annie and Max. Their lives are in danger and she has to protect them, either through continuing to lie and make stuff up or through illicitly involving them in her super secret double-life (again).

- Cassie accidentally does do something bad, whether it was killing Alex in the first place or something else before or after, and she has to deal with the fallout. Miranda or others could be involved.

- This is super-specific and super-optional crossover/fusion request, but for some reason I got it in my head that it would be cool if Cassie Bowden and Cassie Holmes from Push (2009), a former Yuletide perennial favorite, were somehow the same person??? If you do that, I was always into Cassie/Nick in the past, too, but that would also be optional.
