Yuletide 2024

[owlbeer]

Hi!

Thank you so much for offering to write one of these awesome things!

Sorry this letter was a bit late!

Things I like

• fluffy and happy endings, but also love fics with bittersweet and open ended ones too



• political intrigue/spies/court politics



• epistolary or other format experiments (if you're feeling like it)



• people finishing each others sentences, knowing each other's looks, generally knowing someone better than anyone else



• backstory



• PINING

Things I don't like so much:

• non-con or some dub-con - drunk sex is okay



• A/B/O



• humiliation/embarrassment



• heavy/lifestyle d/s, spanking



• stories that focus on pregnancy/any sort of breeding kink

I am absolutely fine with AUs, canon divergent especially but if you think there is another kind I might enjoy based on my other interests feel free.

Explicit fic is fine.

Treats

I am very happy to receive Yuletide treats! :)

If you want more clues about what I like, you can check out my Tumblr or my pinboard.

The prompts below are just to give you a guide and help you along if you want it, if you have a great idea of your own I'd love to read it!

Rook and Rose

Vargo was my fave reading these books and honestly I am just keen more of him.

I would be especially interested in any stuff with Alsius, but honestly anything would be great. Future fic or backstory.

Of course feel free to include Ren, Gray, Sedge, Iascat - whoever suits the story you want to write - but I'd love the focus to be Vargo.

I finished this trilogy this year and enjoyed it a lot - especially the characters and especially Vargo. I was fascinated by his journey, his knowledge of numinatra, his relationship with Alsius and how he kept most people at arm’s length.

Whatever you’d like to write at Vargo would be welcome. I also love his deepening friendship and connections to Grey and Rey and his situation with Iascat so if you wanted to write about them that would be cool. Shippy is fine, explicit fic is fine.

High Rollers DND

I loved the Aerois campaign and I especially loved Kalus. How Mark played him, and how twisty and turny he is and the the ending!!

When we found out what happened between Kalus and Siaska all those years ago, I was intrigued to learn even more. How their relationship developed, one of their I am sure many arguments as things were failing apart. Or maybe Kalus looking back on anything he may have regretted.

Feel free to include Vala too - but I am mostly curious to learn more about Kalus and Siaska and their backstory or future together or how their feelings change/evolve over the course of the campaign.

Honestly the above says pretty much all of it. I love them and would love to read more about them - set in campaign or the hundreds of years before. Explicit fic is fine if you do want to go that route.


Shadow of the Leviathan

I was very intrigued by Strovi and Kol's interactions in the book and I would just like to see more. A new case? When do they see each other next? Or a POV moment from the first book. Why was Strovi drawn to him? What do they do together before Kol has to move on at the end of the book?

I like Ana a lot and she would be a welcome addition, but she is not necessary if you're not feeling it.

Mostly say it all up there tbh. I liked them a lot, I liked the worldbuilding, I would like to know more. :) Explicit fic is fine.



The Expanse

Drummer was one of my faves on the show and I love the different stages her journey takes.

I would just like a look into whichever of those stages takes your fancy, from working with Fred to being in charge of her ship and the toll that takes on her/the occasional joy it brings her, to where the show ends with her in a real position of authority. How did her and Holden come to that agreement?

I especially like her with Naomi if you'd like to include her and I also enjoy David Straitharn's Ashford if your idea included him, but these are just ideas. Whatever stage of Drummer's journey inspires you is great. :)

Drummer is great and I can’t quite believe I haven’t requested fic about her before.

Character study is totally fine or if you do want something to write something to shippy with her and Naomi then that’s cool. Explicit fic fine. Or something with her crew when she is running the ship.

Anything with Ashford - maybe more platonic but idk I’m open to being convinced.

Or feel free to do something post show canon.

Thanks again for writing one of these cool things!
