Yuletide 2020!
Oct. 16th, 2020 10:42 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
lizwontcryHi friends, this is my 11th Yuletide and I'm super excited about my requested fandoms this year. Thanks for writing stuff for me! You rock.
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: I've found over the years that my absolute bulletproof works 100% of the time favorite is age difference/power dynamics/teacher-student. I just love it, I respect it, I appreciate it, and I admire it. You also can never go wrong with Friends to Lovers, and if you combine it with the age difference/teacher-student thing, there is no way I'm not going to love it with every bone in my body.
Also:
- Angst, complications, frustration, arguments that are eventually resolved/forgiven/forgotten
- Making out
- First times
- Competency at work
- Truth or Dare
- Spin the Bottle
- Workplace affairs
- Shared pining and longing
- Nostalgia
- Canon references
- AUs that make sense for the canon
- Karma and fate and the universe
- Doggies
- Confessions
- Infidelity and betrayal are okay with me, again if it ends happily
- Supernatural elements--Vampires! Ghosts! Time Traveling!
- Tropes--only one bed! Fake dating! Etc.
- Fluff! Usually I need a little angst with my fluff but this year, we're gonna take that fluff and like it.
- Holiday fic can be cute if you're feeling it. I'm cool with Christmas and all other associated religious and non-religious holidays/gatherings
DO NOT WANTS:
- Epithets
- Character bashing
- Graphic violence including beheadings--I didn't think I had to specify this but turns out I do
- Complete angst/death/sadness without a happy ending
- 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 that may be fun for crossover ideas:
- Breaking Bad (obviously)
- Friends
- Russian Doll
- Better Call Saul
- CSI (GSR 4ever)
- Grey's Anatomy
- Gilmore Girls
- Vampire Diaries
- Big Bang Theory
- The West Wing, etc.
- Schitt's Creek (I may be the only person on the planet who ships Stevie/Johnny)
PORN: Yes, please. In particular:
- KISSING, all the time kissing.
- Fingering
- Handjobs
- Handcuffs
- FOREPLAY
- Dirty talk/encouragement during sex
- Dub con
- Nipple play
- Rough sex
- Daddy kink
- Slow/lazy sex
- Anal
- Desperation and passion
- Seriously good with het, slash, femslash, whatever you got for me.
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 am also fine with no porn. Gen is good! Gen is great.
Whatever you have in your heart, give it to me. I will love it. Thank you for writing it!
My fic
Tumblr
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, 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.
Anyway! Let's get to the interesting part.
BREAKING BAD RPF
Characters: Aaron Paul, Bryan Cranston
I have no idea if this has ever been requested before but you are now joining me in the throes of this hyperfixation. I binged Breaking Bad this summer and my whole life as I knew it changed. I not only ship Aaron and Bryan but Jesse/Walt, too. And the crack ship of my heart is Bryan/Jesse (see alternate universe hijinks: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25679356/chapters/62345551, https://archiveofourown.org/works/25675828/chapters/62336488, https://archiveofourown.org/works/26253655/chapters/63904945)
You know you've got it bad when you ship every single imaginable pairing of these two people. I also love that Aaron/Bryan are the complete antithesis of Walt/Jesse, it makes me happy. It's helpful that both of them are nice to look at, too. Aaron's eyes and Bryan's arms/freckles on his arms are my main interests, ha.
Please see my Pantston (my name for them because I'm annoying) tag on Tumblr if you want to travel down this road - https://lizwontcry.tumblr.com/tagged/pantston
They really just love each other so much. So much, in fact, that just in the past couple of years they created a new alcoholic beverage just so they could keep working together. The way they choose to market this brand is by taking the most fascinating pictures where they are lounging around in various poses with their bottle of Dos Hombres somewhere in the background (best example - https://lizwontcry.tumblr.com/post/631817038405517312/i-respect-admire-and-appreciate-the-way-aaron)
I realize these two aren't involved in a romantic relationship to speak of (although solely based on some of their marketing pictures you might wonder a little, just sayin'), but that's what Yuletide is for, right? I'm fine with either not mentioning wives or having them approve of the fun.
I think what I love the most about them is how much they have learned from each other, and how much fun they have together. Bryan has said so many times that Aaron is his friend for life and that will never change, and so far that has proven to be true. The way they gaze at each other is soul-crushing kind of stuff. Their chemistry both on and off screen seems pretty rare to come across and I'm. I'm just obsessed with it.
Porn? Yes. All of it. Any of it. Everything. Thank you.
And obviously gen works too! Tell me about their friendship! It makes me happy!
PROMPTS:
- They spent a lot of time in Mexico finding the right Mezcal for their brand Dos Hombres. What did else did they get up to in Mexico? I can think of a few things.
- First times. Kisses, other things, everything.
- Truth or dare, spin the bottle, tropey things, non-tropey things, ANYTHING.
- Aaron says in every interview about Dos Hombres that Bryan loves to be seduced while Aaron doesn't mind being slapped around. Oh, really? And how exactly did they find this out about each other?
- Bryan (and his wife) spent a week with Aaron (and *his* wife) at Aaron's house in Idaho this August after not having seen each other in 6 months due to the pandemic. It was also Aaron's birthday. They obviously took some promo pictures for Dos Hombres during this time, but what the hell else did they do?
- What are their conversations like when they're coming up with ideas for marketing?
- The early days - Bryan relentlessly teasing Aaron during the show, Aaron learning from Bryan, discovering how amazing their chemistry is, etc.

*Please note - if you are not writing this for me, don't be intimidated by the overly enthusiastic details! There's just a lot going on for these two so I didn't want to leave anything out.*
SUCCESSION
Characters: Roman Roy and Gerri Kellman
Ahh! The season finale aired a year ago and they still haven't started filming the next season. Understandable, but still upsetting.
I love Roman and Gerri's dynamic. I love that Gerri is mostly in charge here but she also wants to help Roman succeed in business. 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.
PROMPTS:
- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM ON THE YACHT?! We will apparently never get to see these deleted scenes so please. Fill me in.
- What happens next after Kendall dropped the bomb/how do they move forward together?
- Telling the family about their relationship. I'm sure that'll go well.
- Sex. They have it.
- They do end up getting married, how does that work?
- I wouldn't mind some quarantine stuff for them. I'll leave that up to your imagination.
Feel free to include the rest of the family!
MY SO-CALLED LIFE
Characters: Jordan Catalano, Angela Chase, Rayanne Graff
It's been [redacted] number of years since this show aired but I have never gotten over it, and have asked for it every single year. Jordan and Angela are my first OTP. I am Angela, she is me. We have very similar backgrounds and the same taste in boys, and we were the same age when it aired. I also shared her sense of fashion. It was the nineties! I have never gotten over Angela Chase.
What I loved about Jordan/Angela was that he was the "bad boy" and the complete opposite of Angela, but he understood that she was different than the other girls he's dated/had sex with (case in point: Rayanne), and he started to figure it out by the end of the show. He has to treat her differently and he wants to because he feels like he needs her. Or whatever.
PROMPTS:
- REUNION! 5, 10, 20 years, it all works. What are the three of them doing? What are their dynamics like now? Do Jordan and Angela still have chemistry, did Angela and Rayanne ever patch up their friendship?
- Another sort of reunion situation - Jordan and Angela got together for a minute or two after high school and broke up again. What happens at the reunion?
- A road trip! Jordan, Angela and Rayanne take a road trip together, maybe after they graduate (*if* Jordan or Rayanne graduate, I suppose) or further down the line.
- Threesome? Okay.
BOJACK HORSEMAN
Characters: Diane Nguyen, Bojack Horseman, Todd Chavez
I just watched this for the first time and I was kind of rooting for Diane and Bojack the entire show. Like, I know Bojack is inherently a piece of shit and terrible for Diane, but what can I say, I love fucked up people finding each other the way they did. You can go wherever your heart leads you here, the only prompt I've got for them really is that Diane didn't marry Mr. PeanutButter (at least not when she did) and she and Bojack do in fact get together for a time.
Porn is cool but let's not spend too much time talking about various parts of the anatomy, I guess?
As for Todd, I just want him somewhere doing what he does. I love him. I love Aaron Paul and I love Todd. Okay thank you.
That's all! All prompts are optional, I completely trust your judgment. Go crazy! Thank you for taking time out of your life to write stuff for me! And rock on.
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!
