Dear Creator - Yuletide

Thank you so very much! Happy Yuletide to you and yours! Feel free to ask any questions here (anon commenting on, and i'm way too lazy to watch IPs or whatever) or you can ask through the Yuletide mods (yuletideadmin at gmail.com). Questions can range from needing prompts for crossovers, clarifying DNWs, more ship options, and/or in the case of Castlevania 'how's this bit of canon for you?' There are no silly questions; I welcome them all :D

Big Little Lies

Celeste Wright
Jane Chapman

Miscellaneous Feels/Prompts/Thoughts
I ship them. I'd prefer at least pre-slash for them. However, if you would prefer, you are welcome to write about just one lady, as it will not ruin my Yuletide :D

I'm open to all the characters appearing in the fic, as long as Jane and/or Celeste are the focus.

Other ships I like: Madeline/Bonnie, Madeline/Renata, canon ships

You can see my requests for these characters and more in the following two letters: Trick or Treat, Multifandom Tropefest

Celeste - I loved the subtlety of the build-up of what she's endured. It was a wonderful unraveling, and imo, an important story to be told. I'd love her continuing seeing the therapist. Her subletting that new apartment to someone (Jane and Ziggy, whose house needs fumigating/repairs maybe?), her bonding with Max and Josh, her feeling and rebuilding her own strength, her and Bonnie talking (or talking around) the fundraiser, her missing him as if missing a part of herself, the next school year, do they ever get prosecuted for things, maybe she keeps the apartment and sells the house?

Jane - kind, tough Jane. Aftermath of the fundraiser. Her and Bonnie connecting? Her and Celeste!!! They have stuff to talk about! Or talk around. I actually started shipping them when they met in the show. It... they both conveyed 'we are damaged, we have seen things, but we are still here'. I was fascinated from then on. I'd love playtime with Ziggy! Also, what does she do for money? Also, how supportive are her parents? There's just so much mystery to her. Open her up for me! (er, since this isn't a Crueltide request, I mean that metaphorically lol)

Castlevania (Cartoon)

Alucard | Adrian Tepes
Trevor Belmont

Miscellaneous Feels/Prompts/Thoughts
I ship them. I'd prefer at least pre-slash for them. However, if you would prefer, you are welcome to write about just one fella, as it will not ruin my Yuletide. Also, if you can't write anything ship-wise but an OT3 with Sypha, I'm very down with that. Sypha rocks. Her doing a spell and it backfiring into a sex pollen type scenario would be welcome.

I will have seen season 2, so feel free to play with the new canon! I'm up for as dark as you want to go while avoiding my DNWs! For instance, as long as no permadeath happens, kill them as much as needed.

Alucard - He purty. But also competent. His amusement with Trevor pleases me greatly. His defiance of his father, his devotion to his mother. How'd he set up all that machinery to surround him while he slept? Is he a tinkerer? Doing science/doctoring with mom! Swordsmanship, is he a natural or did he have to learn? Getting along with his father when young. Learning how his healing/vampirism works.

Trevor - oh my sloppy yet competent ruffian noble. His done'ness with everything is great. I love his straightforwardness. He's handsome. He can't hold his liquor (or can he?). He loathes hypocrisy, which I really adore. What does it really mean to be the last of the House of Belmont? Would love if a child started following him around when they're in a town, a street urchin who thinks he's awesome. Trevor would SO not be down with that kind of hero worship. I'd love if he saved the kid or the kid's family before leaving town.

Sypha matchmaking or yelling 'Just kiss!' in frustration or the equivalent would be amazing.

I'm also down if either Trevor or Alucard have unrequited feelings for Sypha, but not so much the other way around.

Monster hunting/battling in general would be a delight!

The old lady (and her fam?) that Vlad talked to at the ruins of the house... does she/they have a role to play?

Endless Summer Characters wiki

You can choose whichever ending you want for book 3. I uh, may have chosen the one where MC stays on La Huerta and the rest of the world continues to burn so MC/Jake could be in paradise? I wouldn't mind MC joining back with Vaanu though (would love if he came back for Jake though). Or the Rourke ending, as I don't know about that one at all.

The name for my MC when I played was Datass, but you can go with whatever name you want if he's involved.

Diego - HE IS SUNSHINE AND POP CULTURE REFERENCES. I love him. And I'd love love love that missing six months. Some things he and Varyyn did, like Varyyn learning English. But I'd also love quiet nights and learning the culture of the Vaanti. Also any time adventures. And post-handfasting. And futures. And his memories of MC at Hartfeld! I also wouldn't mind a different ship than with Varyyn, though I love and adore them. It'd be interesting to see, especially with Grace or Craig.

Jake - Soooo, I'm obsessed with Matthew Mercer, and he voices McCree in Overwatch, and that's the voice I hear for Jake (he's from Louisiana so add a bit more Creole influence). And he and McCree and Mercer all bear a resemblance. So yeah, I got hooked on Jake because of that, but the character himself is why I adore him.
Jake's devotion to Mike is so great. Jake's need to do the right thing, but also keep his head down and that causing conflict. His biting humor. His terrible luck flying even though he's an ace pilot. I just love everything to do with the man.

Main Character - I prefer male MC, but because they're the same character, I'm a-okay with a female MC. Humor and heroics are the keys for my love of MC. It's such a good character to play. And the Endless reveal is... yeah. I love that. I would love that explored. I would also love Vaanu explored. Also just a relaxing day would be nice (this goes for all the characters honestly). I would also love more adventures in time. Also what if MC took in the heart instead of Quinn? Or what if Raj was the Endless instead? I'd love MC bonding with any one of the Catalysts or Vaanti or the Clockmaker.

Varyyn - I just love that stoic badass who's also a bit of an awkward duck. Maybe after he and Diego are handfasted, Seraxa trains Diego in combat? I'd also love anything to do with his growing up, his feelings in general/how they grew for Diego, his knowledge of Vaanti history, he and Seraxa being competitive, courtly etiquette. I'd love him visiting Hartfeld.

The Royal Romance Characters wiki

I'm open to all characters from the books appearing, as long as Drake, Liam, Maxwell, and/or Olivia are the focus.

The name for my MC when I played was Datass, but you can go with whatever name you want if she's involved.

Ships I like: Liam/Olivia, Drake/Maxwell, Drake/Liam, Hana/MC, Bertrand/Savannah, Hana/Drake, Olivia/Madeleine, Leo/MC of Rules of Engagement, Madeleine/Happiness, Penelope/Ezekiel, Maxwell/Happiness, Mara/Kiara, maybe poly

Drake - My sourpuss! He's so jaded, but also so dedicated. I love his devotion to Liam and also Savannah, and his sense of justice. I'd love hurt/comfort after he gets shot. I'd love his first taste of whiskey. Him, Liam, and Maxwell working out or childhood shenanigans. Post-canon hanging out with Datass. Night of drinking with Maxwell. Childhood shenanigans with Savannah. Him and Olivia having to work together more.

Liam - He's so stalwart and kind, with a bit of mischief. I'd love future fic, ruling Cordonia. Having another suitor quest or him getting with Drake or Olivia? I wouldn't mind him pining a bit for the MC, but definitely do not want them together. I'd love scenes of his growing up and his and Drake and Maxwell's shenanigans. Learning Cordonian history. His first memory of a Cordonian Red apple.

Maxwell - Dat squid suit and breakdancing. I love this good goof. He's all heart and fun. How does he always get up so early? Beaumont Bash, any of them. He's way more capable of organization than Bertrand gives him credit for. I'd love to see him go to cooking school or open his own bar/pub/discotheque. Organizing parties for all of royalty. Money ideas for House Beaumont.

Olivia - She is such a badass with a bad attitude, but there's so much heart underneath! I adore her. I wouldn't mind The Crown and The Flame references (as Nevrakis) or general Lythikos history. I'd love interactions with her subjects. I'd love combat training. Her bonding with the other suitors (a comedy with her and Penelope perhaps? Olivia having to watch the poodles?). Post-canon hanging out with Duchess Datass. Her and Liam dancing around each other?

Your Dry Delight (Video Game)

ANY aka...
August Richter
Leslie Clark
Meyer Eastman

Miscellaneous Feels/Prompts/Thoughts
The Characters @ VNDb

Description of the game: Richter and his boss, Leslie, are private detectives hired to help enforce Prohibition in Cleveland, Ohio. However, when Richter catches the eye of a charismatic mob boss, a different story falls into place....

Easily obtain it! Official Site. Also on Steam for free. Takes half an hour to play through one route, and there are only two routes. It's basically a Visual Novel.

The music is wonderful. The setting is A+ (you even get factoids about the era!). And canon m/m (and if you play both routes, a canon V where the two love interests share Richter, or you can interpret it as full OT3). I'd love either poly OT3 or the V, post-canon. I'm also cool with any pairings between them, like Leslie/Meyer as well.

Richter - The flustering and deep sigh of him. "Woe is me and my delicate tongue" xD I'd love his thoughts post-canon about these two men who want him. I'd also love him finding a cocktail he actually likes. Casefic! The detective agency burns down and Richter and Leslie have to get a new office (Meyer might offer?). His angsty young life. Other cases he and Leslie have worked on.

Leslie - That sweet tooth! "My appetite for food is never sated, just like my appetite for justice." This NERD. I love his suit so much. I love everything about him. I'd love an exploration of his early detective days. Exploring his liking men. Liaising with the police/fbi. Falling asleep during sex or fights. His feels about Richter's hair. Plotting to flirt with Richter. He and Meyer must rescue Richter. He needs to be rescued!

Meyer - That perpetual chinhand! xD He's super competent, and he may be a mob boss, but he's a caring mob boss xD I truly enjoy his flirting with Richter and his verbal fencing with Leslie. Would love fic of him growing up, especially the Jewish traditions he loves/hates (we know he's willing to be non-kosher with his cake consumption). I'd love an underling gets belligerent with Richter or Leslie or both, and Meyer takes care of it. I'd love post-mob civilian life.

I'd also be down with exploring Richter taking care of Leslie, and Meyer taking care of Richter.
