antonomasiaDear Yuletide Author,
Hi! Happy Yuletide! I’m so excited to see what you write for me. I’ve done my best to give you some ideas, but of course if there’s something you’ve been dying to write for one of these fandoms, absolutely go for it!
General likes: gen, friendships, found families, team as family, plot, character studies, hurt/comfort, humor, angst, banter, competence, magic, mythology, crossovers (as long as I’m familiar with the other fandom - see my ao3 account and my tumblr). I’m okay with relationships, but I prefer a fade to black before anything gets explicit
General dislikes: explicit sex, rape/non con, A/B/O, incest, mundane AU’s (i.e. coffee shop, high school), sickfic, major character death. Also, I’d rather not get a Christmas-themed fic.

In case you’re having trouble figuring out who the characters are, they’re #11, 23, 49, and 120 in this article. I don’t have particular prompts for this, really, but I’d love some worldbuilding and fic about what their jobs entail and maybe also what their lives are like outside of their jobs. What is life like for an abacus musician on a pirate ship, and how did he come to have that job? What exactly is the dry ice inspector inspecting the ice for? What does it fee like to directly manipulate atoms, and what else besides fission can a nuclear engineer do with them? What does a VWR brand fashion show look like?
Killjoys (TV) (any)
My favorite thing about this show was the characters. I love the way they all got a chance to grow over the course of it, they ways they clashed and came together, and that their stories are by no means over, even if the show is.
Prompts:
* The Lady’s ongoing journey towards becoming human, and how her relationship with Dutch changes during the course of it
* Jaq and Delle Seyah working on their plan to take down the Lady - Jaq’s visions, Delle Seyah taking care of them both and also dealing with the lack of resources that she’s accustomed to
* Zeph’s childhood - stuck in the pit, making science into her religion, her time with the Scarbacks after she escaped her family
* The epic post-series adventures of Johnny and Clara/Ollie
The Penumbra Podcast (Juno, Nureyev, Rita, Benten)
Note: It’s okay if you don’t use all of the characters in your story.
Mostly, I like watching Juno suffer (sorry Juno), although I’m perfectly happy having Nureyev suffer too. I love that Rita is a brilliant hacker and incredibly loyal to Juno, and also unwilling to focus on anything other than her streams for more than five minutes. And I love Benten’s optimism and freedom, how different he was from Juno, and how different Juno might have been if Benten had survived.
Prompts:
* AU where Benten is alive and Juno comes to him for help on a case. Or maybe Benten gets a Theia Soul and, instead of Mick, he’s the one trying to convince Juno to just give up?
* Nureyev has to threaten/pretend to hurt/actually slightly injure Juno as part of a job they’re working together, and then has Feelings(TM) about it
* Expand on the hints we got of Juno’s backstory with the HCPD and why he left
* A Rita Minute - style fic, in which she disastrously saves the day
Again, thank you, and I can’t wait to read what you write for me!
