Yuletide 2019!
Oct. 21st, 2019 09:46 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Hello! I'm so excited! This is my tenth Yuletide and there are some fun fandoms to write for this year. Please join me in this adventure.
A general disclaimer: I unapologetically love a good love story. Most of requests are shippy in nature; the heart wants what it wants. But I am so okay with gen if that's where your own heart leads you. It's all good! I will be happy with any kind of story you write for me because you wrote it for me!
LIKES: Most of my ships are older man/younger woman with questionable power dynamics, student/teacher, boss/employee kind of situations, but my requests this year are a little different, with the exception of Longmire. I've also always been a sucker for a good friends to lovers trope. It's like crack to me and I will eat it with a spoon. I am always riveted with stories about people with complicated pasts and histories and how they find their way to each other, or back to each other if they've been apart.
I love complications and angst and frustrations that get in the way of true love--as long as those details are eventually solved/forgiven/forgotten. Also: making out, first times, people being really good at their jobs, workplace affairs, pining and longing (even if unrequited), nostalgia, canon references, karma and fate and the universe, doggies, confessions, confrontations. Infidelity and betrayal is okay with me--if it works out in favor of True!Love happening in the end (does that make me a bad person?!) Supernatural elements could be fun--vampires, ghosts, time travel, etc. I'm also a huge fan of angst with a happy ending--I want my characters to earn and deserve the things that make them happy.
Give me all the age difference/imbalance of power/etc. I'm into it.
DISLIKES: - Epithets, character bashing, graphic violence, total fluff without any hint of angst, but also not complete angst and death and sadness without a bit of fluff, etc, A/B/O, animal abuse, pregnancy/babies (existing kids are cool but not a big fan as pregnancy plot twists and babies as the main theme of the story).
Other shows I dig include: Friends, CSI (GSR 4ever), Grey's Anatomy, Gilmore Girls, Vampire Diaries, Big Bang Theory, The West Wing, etc. Holiday fic can be cute and such but it's not required. I'm cool with Christmas and all other associated religious and non-religious holidays/gatherings.
PORN: - I can dig it. I like handcuffs and other assorted light bondage situations, dub con, rough sex (hair pulling and spanking for example) lip biting, teasing/build-up/foreplay, etc. Also: Bonus points for sexy times near/on a piano...that scene in Pretty Woman left a very long lasting impression on my psyche, if you know what I mean. Please note: I'm seriously good with or without sexy times.
Whatever you have in your heart, give it to me. I will love it.

I always feel compelled to mention that I have had a love affair with Axl Rose/Guns N' Roses for the past 27 years of my life. I've seen them live 8 times (the last time being just a few weeks ago at ACL), and basically Axl is the love of my life. This doesn't have to do with anything that matters for Yuletide but I just thought I'd mention it. I was going to request the November Rain video but decided not to in the end. But anyway.
Anyway! Let's get to the interesting part.
SUCCESSION
Characters: Gerri Kellman, Roman Roy
You are currently joining me in mid-fangirl meltdown over these two. The season has ended and there are still so many questions! What intrigues me the most about them is that it kind of came out of left field but it was also kind of there from the beginning (in their first scene together, Roman checks her out like 12 times, he says he just wants to "lube up and fuck" regarding asking her to take over while Logan is unconscious, she says "And you say you don't know how to flirt...," etc.). Gerri clearly has most of the power here and even more clearly, Roman is into it, even if she is not conventionally the type of woman he usually has relationships with.
Some prompts! I have so many. J. Smith-Cameron said that there were a few missing GerriXRoman scenes that they shot from the 2x09 and 2x10 (possibly having to do with the proposal) and I am positively obsessed with what these scenes entailed. The biggest question mark is where the hell were they in between breakfast/the blood sacrifice and dinner? We see what everyone else is up to but they are missing. I want to know what happened, damn it! Give me the missing scene. Please. Also: do they team up after Kendall drops the Logan bomb and starts a shitstorm? They are kind of a dream team and I would love to see what their partnership together would entail. I feel like they can really take care of each other and I'm into it. Um, basically anyfuckingthing you write for these two will make me happy. Porn or not. But yeah... porn is certainly welcome here. I'm cool with exploring their current dynamic with the humiliation stuff and what not in this particular situation, or any other touching/not touching scene they get up to. I like how Gerri seems to be the only one who gets Roman's mysterious sexuality and I can dig it.
This is my first older woman/younger man ship, I'm usually really predictable when it comes to older man/younger woman, so give me what you got here. The rest of the family are of course welcome to make an appearance, but these are the two I'm the most emotionally invested in currently.
THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE:
Characters: Henry, Clare, Alba
This is the fourth year I've nominated/requested this because I just love it so much. I love the book, the movie, the characters, the story, everything about it. I love that Henry finds himself traveling back to when Clare was a girl, and I love that Clare has been in love with him since she was a little girl. They have an epic love story, in my opinion. So what I'd like to see here is, well, anything? But more specifically... like what happened when Henry visited Clare when she was in her eighties. Or more about Alba and her time traveling adventures. Or maybe Clare is able to time travel one time, where does she go and why? Or a bonus episode of when Henry visits her as a little girl/teenager. I'd be happy with literally anything with these characters.
Bonus: crossover with any of my other requested fandoms. Can you imagine?!
MY SO-CALLED LIFE:
Characters: Angela Chase, Patty Chase
I think I've literally requested this fandom every single year and I've gotten some pretty amazing stuff. It's been 25 years since this show aired and guess what--I was Angela's age when it first aired and now I'm Patty's age. Oh, the humanity! Time is so weird.
In that regard, I only asked for Angela and Patty, mostly because Jordan wasn't included in the tag set, ha. I'm pretty sure Angela/Jordan was my first OTP, so I'd love anything that included Jordan, but I'm gonna go for a different angle this year. Maybe Angela is her mom's age and questioning all her choices in life and goes to her mom for advice, they have a heart to heart. Bonus points if Angela doesn't have kids and is fine with this decision. I mostly am looking for an older Angela and her mom bonding in some way, but obviously you can take it in whatever direction your heart leads you. Angela has always been near and dear to me in my list of favorite characters ever, so anything you write about her will be appreciated.
Love me some Rayanne obviously, please feel free to add her into the mix, as well as everyone else on the show.
LONGMIRE:
Characters: Walt Longmire, Vic Moretti
Walt and Vic had me from the very first episode until the last when they finalllly get together. My first real OTP was Sara/Grissom on CSI and these two had the same vibes. Here's where that age difference--teacher/student--power inbalance thing comes into play. Really, I'd just like to know what happens next. Walt goes searching for treasure, what does Vic do in the meantime? Does she help Cady with sheriff stuff? And what kind of adventures is Walt having? But mostly, I just want to know more about their story. Vic is worried she'll never love him as much as the baby she lost and that he'll never love her as much as he loved his wife. So... how do they move past that? Do they move past it? Also, porny things are very welcome here. It's hard to top the actual sex scene (thank you, Netflix), but giving it a shot gets a thumbs up from me. When they go to a motel and have separate rooms (in season 3 I think?) but are clearly pining after each other... so many opportunities for activities.
Also, maybe a look into when Vic first moved there and convinced Walt, still heartbroken after his wife's death, to give her the job. That would be fun, too.
That about wraps it up. I'm keeping it simple this year. Let's have some fun, and thank you so much for your service.
