yuletide 2023!
Hello! How nice to meet someone who loves some of these ridiculous things! Overall, I will be thrilled with anything you write—but if you want a little more guidance, here we go:
Generally, I don't care for: major character death, pining that doesn't get resolved, infidelity, rape, torture and abuse, high levels of gore, incest.
Generally, I like: gender weirdness, worldbuilding, snappy dialogue & banter, domesticity, teams, found families, smart and competent characters, characters who BECOME smarter and more competent over the course of the story, absurdly codependent bff pairings, absurdly codependent frenemies-turned-relucatant-allies-turned-lovers pairings, outsider POV, pining that gets resolved, bodyswap, telepathy, fucking around with gender, fake dating / pretending to be married / woke up married, nonsexual intimacy, cuddling (for warmth or otherwise), characters taking care of each other, negotiation of kinks, characters being awkward about their kinks but then finding a partner who validates and supports them, shenanigans.
More specifically:
Humans Are Space Orcs: I love stories about aliens that are truly alien, and the ways in which humans are alien to everybody else out there. How do people bridge those gaps—especially the gaps they're not expecting? Bringing an alien home to meet the parents? Things inter-species couples argue about? If you bring in language-related issues / the inherent challenges of a universal translation mechanism, I will fall over in glee, but really, anything here will be amazing. Weird alien gender shit mandatory; porn encouraged but not required! [If you're not familiar with the canon, it's a pretty easy one: start here!]
Sins of the Cities: PEN GIVE ME MORE PEN I WANT MORE PEN. I don't think a character has ever hit me more directly in the heart than Pen did, and I just—anything. Gender stuff! Relationship stuff! Stuff with Gret! ANYTHING. Futurefic would be great! Slice of life fic? Amazing, incredible. Bonkers tropes? Why not!!
Nimona: Again, I'm very flexible here. I love found families, and I love Gender Vibes, and I love a redemption arc, and this story delivers in spades.
Worlds Beyond Number: Literally anything in this world will make me EXTREMELY happy. In particular, though, the Witch class materials that have been released so far are absolutely fascinating, and I'd love anything that digs into that. What would Ame have been like as a Coven of the Claw witch? What happens when the three meet a Coven of the Wicked witch? And of course the spell Othershoes seems written as an invitation for shenanigans and/or emotional damage, either of which I would love. I'd also love to learn more about Sir Curran, or about Grandmother Wren (even though she wasn't nominated as a character). BUT if you don't feel like any of those are inspiring you, I'd be very happy with a story about Ame, Suvi, and Ersulon, either as kids or as adults, in any configuration.
