Dear yule writer,

Thank you for writing for me!

First off, please disregard anything in here that doesn't help you; you can skip it all together if you like. As my general lack of DNWs suggests, I don't have any triggers and hardly any squicks; in the realm of fictional storytelling, I have no morals and I like being convinced to like questionable things. If you already had a story in your heart (or your drafts) and it doesn't line up perfectly with my prompts, you have my enthusiastic permission to go ahead and pursue it.

In general, I am a poly-multi-shipper, by which I mean I ship all over the place, often in parallel, and not to exclusivity. I tend to be fond of canon ships and crack pairs in equal measure. Rarepairs are also wonderful. When I say ship, I mean positive or negative, romantic/sexual/platonic, new or established or even sunk; again, I don't have any squicks or triggers and go both weird and hard, kink-wise, but I also really like gen, so please write whatever makes you happy.

I say this every time but I am very fond of crossovers and cross-canon parallels, so if you're familiar with more than one of these canons and want to give it a try, please do!

As a note for these particular fandoms, I really have both a soft spot for traitors and also an iron-clad loyalty kink. If you feel inspired to write something NSFW (I realize Skullgirls is one of my fandoms this year), I'm just as happy with PWP as something more plotty. Kink list for potential inspiration.

I'm not a stickler on canon-details so please play fast and loose to get to the story/impact you want. I enjoy stories that grapple with questions; they don't necessarily need to provide answers. Other tropes I enjoy: identity porn, time-travel, incongruous social media, long-distant communication, posthuman morality questions, science and pseudoscience, well-researched finicky details (if research is your thing--no pressure if not), longing, partial/incomplete satisfaction, creepiness.

Prompt links: [3gatsu][NiF][SG][Dune]

1. 3月のライオン | March Comes in Like A Lion (Manga)
Shimada Kai; Hayashida Takashi; Kawamoto Akari; Kiriyama Rei; Souya Touji
I would be happy with a story that doesn't include all of these characters.
DNW: A ship that is only between Shimada and Akari or only between Akari and Hayashida.


So if you choose to write them in a ship, I would prefer an OT3 or something on its way to becoming one. But if you would like to write them Gen, I would still love that. I really enjoyed the parallels between Rei and Souya and the moments they shared after their match, and I would love to see more of them together. I remember when I watched the anime, that I was really happy about the lack of romances, but when I caught up through the manga, I also really enjoyed all the ship tensions. Like, ah yes, this is indeed the writer of Honey and Clover.


2. 琅琊榜 | Nirvana in Fire (TV)
Xiāo Jǐnghuán (Nirvana in Fire TV); Princess Xuanji (Nirvana in Fire TV)

When I made this request, I was picturing alternate universe baby Xiao Jinghuan trailing after his brilliant strategist Hua auntie with stars in his eyes. If you want to write something a little more angsty, canon also has plenty of space for such a thing. Prince Yu is my favourite character in a cast of favourite characters, and I love him for his foibles as much as his narrative weight. I do, absolutely, ship him tragically and (probably) one-sidedly with MCS.


3. Skullgirls (Video Game)
Annie (Skullgirls); Double (Skullgirls); Parasoul (Skullgirls); Valentine (Skullgirls)
I would be happy with a story that doesn't include all of these characters.


Since I've included prompts with Double, let me explicitly state that I enjoy noncon, xeno, and selfcest. I was surprised by how much loved this game and it's strange, not terribly deep lore. I really enjoyed Parasoul's fannish feelings for Annie and the hints at her contentious history with Valentine. I am so curious about Double's motivations and the identity porn potential of her alternate identity as Sister Agatha; I would love to see her relationships with Selene or Queen Nancy before each betrayal.


4. Dune Series - Frank Herbert
Duncan Idaho; Leto Atreides I

My first book was House Atreides and, while I have almost no loyalty to the non-Frank books now, I have always shipped these two as a result. (If you haven't read it, it may not be worth it.) Requited or not, and sincere or manipulation, loyalty-kink is the key to my heart here. Bonus points if you can work in the relationship between Miles Teg and the last Duncan Idaho ghola, because when I got to that part, oh, yule writer, I just died.
