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, what-if’s, 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
Do Not Want’s: explicit sex, rape/non con, A/B/O, soulmates, incest, one-sided pining, Hanahaki disease, mundane AU’s (i.e. coffee shop, high school), reader or author inserts, sickfic, de-aging, accidental child acquisition, major character death, references to current global events. Also, I’d rather not get a Christmas-themed fic.
The Fugitive (TV 1963) (Richard Kimble, Philip Gerard)
I have many many feelings about Richard Kimble and his ability to reach out and connect with people over and over. Also feelings over the fact that he doesn’t turn his back on society even when it’s failed him and is determined to see him dead. My favorite episodes are ones where Kimble encounters a situation that parallels his own, ones where he faces a particularly tough moral choice, and ones where escape seems particularly hopeless.
I didn't specifically request Donna in my sign-up, but if you want to include her, she is very welcome. I did request both Kimble and Gerard, but if the story you want to write only features one of them, I'm okay with that.
Prompts:
* Any classic situation where Kimble can’t stop himself from helping someone, and gets in trouble for it.
* Kimble and Gerard in some sort of dangerous situation together, where they have to rely on each other to get out of it but also they both keep trying to get the upper hand.
* Fantasy or magical realism AU where Kimble’s skill as a healer is literally magical and maybe so is Gerard’s ability to always find him
MythQuest (TV) (Any)
I very much enjoyed the whole “modern character thrown into a historical/mythological situation and applying modern solutions and making modern references” thing that Alex always did when he was the one to go into myths, and I loved how smart and brave Cleo was and the clever solutions she was able to come up with by taking advantage of her knowledge of the genre and the myth she was in.
Prompts:
* Alex or Cleo goes into any myth that wasn’t featured on the show
* Philthy finds out about the Cybermuseum and accidentally ends up in a myth (I would absolutely love if it was the myth of Prince Ivan but it doesn’t have to be)
* A conclusion to the cliffhanger at the end of the last episode
Witch King - Martha Wells (Kai, Ramad)
I read Witch King on an airplane, and when I got to the part where it was confirmed that Bashat had betrayed Kai and that Ramad was his spy, I was basically vibrating trying not to scream out loud in public. I loved the dynamic they had - that Ramad really did care about Kai, but his first and foremost loyalty was to his prince. And that Kai wanted to let himself care about Ramad but he never could quite bring himself to trust him. I think it could be interesting to explore what kind of a relationship (either platonic or romantic) they could have with each other now that Kai knows Ramad’s secret.
Prompts:
* Ramad gets himself into trouble while on a mission and needs to convince Kai to help him out of it
* Kai gets himself into trouble and needs to decide if he trusts Ramad to get him out of it
* What could happen that would convince Ramad to betray Bashat on Kai’s behalf?
Again, thank you, and I can’t wait to read what you write for me!
