Dear Yuletide Creator!

[bonstrosity]

Hi! I'm Bonster on AO3. First off, thank you so much! I will be happy with anything that doesn't violate a DNW. So get the worry that I won't like the gift right out of your head this instant :D

Links go to the specific fandom. Some look a lot lighter than others, but that's because I've literally chosen less characters in some xD I would appreciate any gift from any of these wonderful source materials. <3

If you have any questions, please e-mail the yuletide mods or poke them on discord. I'm super happy to answer!

From here, spoilers probably abound. So, on to the meat!

Band Sinister - K. J. Charles

Guy Frisby
Lord Corvin

Miscellaneous Feels/Prompts/Thoughts
I love Guy/Philip a lot, but also. I have this need to see how a relationship with Corvin could go.

Guy's earnestness is endearing and his determination to make the world safer/better for Amanda is so wonderful. Corvin is a disaster and I love him that way (also love his hairpulling kink xD ).

- Either post-Philip or within the OT4 (Philip can go off into John's arms for awhile).
- A slower seduction than Corvin would like probably.
- Guy being more and more attracted to Corvin, yeees.
- Corvin joins Philip and Guy for a night, and Guy fixates on it, leading to just the two of them.
- Corvin wins Guy's heart, not Philip? How does that change things? Or does it really?
- Philip says, 'Now kiss' essentially to the two!
- John drags Philip on a long excursion, leaving Guy and Corvin and... needs (physical and/or emotional).
- Painting. Naked! Okay, anything naked.

If you can't ship these two in some way, I'm fine with them bonding over something either ridiculous or quiet. Or bringing in Amanda and/or David for a dinner or day trip with the two of them (John and Philip as well).

Cinderella Phenomenon (Visual Novel)

Delora
Emelaigne Widdensov
Fritzgerald Aiden Leverton
Karma
Lucette Riella Britton
Parfait
Rod Benedikt Widdensov
Waltz Cresswell

Miscellaneous Feels/Thoughts
Free on Steam and itch.io! Each route is amazing and fraught. The wiki

Lucette is so worth the multiple journeys. She's so very prickly and a snot, but she was forged that way. I love her journey to being less self-centered. I love the support all the characters, except Alcaster lol, give her. The bad endings freakin depressed me, man. I had to take a lot of breaks, then just look at guides xD However, I would love to see a Dark!Lucette who goes full evil, or a world in which that happens. What happens to the others/kingdom?

Lucette ships: Any that do not violate a DNW. Ace!Lucette would also be welcome. My one incest like for this fandom is Emelaigne/Lucette/Rod, so feel free to include that one.


Karma. I love me some androgyny. And then he brought out the competent swordsman. Very yes. His emo'ness is a little less appealing to me, but it's very understandable, so I don't mind an exploration that touches on that.

Karma ships: Lucette, Rumpel, Fritz, Varg, Waltz, Mythros


Rod. 'Strong arms' catching Lucette before she'd drop stuff and fall, and well. I fell. I am all about that kind of stuff. Let's have everyone swoon into Rod's arms! Sebby commentary is always a joy.

Rod ships: Lucette, Rumpel, Annice. Ace!Rod is welcome as well! Emelaigne/Lucette/Rod is, again, the only incest ship I'm okay with for this exchange.


Waltz. Oh man. Met when younger, friends, probably puppy love from his end. And so the angst of all that and his being apprentice to x.... Love his journey a lot. Would love more shows, past, present, or future.

Waltz ships: Lucette, Karma, Mythros, Fritz, Varg, Emelaigne


Fritz. I have a loyalty thing, and Fritz hits that like whoa for me. And I bet his arms are strong too. Varg angst very welcome, or even just a focus/POV on/of Varg.

Fritz ships: Lucette, Mythros, Emelaigne, Garlan, Jurian. Fritz/Genaro/Ophelia I could also get behind.


Emelaigne. She's so sweet and kind and selfless, and I think she's a good influence on Lucette. Anything that brings on the kindness and loyalty overload is super welcome with her. As well as anything angsty.

Emelaigne ships: Any that do not violate my DNWs. Ace!Emelaigne welcome. Again, Emelaigne/Lucette/Rod welcome.


Delora. I love that she cursed Lucette for her own good, and it WAS an act of kindness, though it seems like very tough love. It's a test Lucette deserved, both for her own good and for the greater good. Her snarky humor is grand.

Delora ships: Parfait, Lucette, Varg, Mythros, Rumpel


Parfait. Kind, sweet, determined, and badass Parfait! I adore her optimism.

Parfait ships: Delora, Emelaigne, Karma, Rumpel, Lucette


Rumpel's not an option here, but! I wouldn't mind his inclusion of course. He's wonderful! Also welcome are Annice, Garlan, and/or Jurian. Mythros would also be fun to explore! Shipping, antagonism, his tutelage under x, etc.

Other ships: Garlan/Jurian/Any, Garlan/Jurian

I'm not much interested in Rumpel's ex.

Prompts
- Different fairytale curses.
- Anyone matchmakes.
- Any missing scene (Lucette doing errands/shopping!) or any scenes with a different person there.
- Karma teaches anyone swordsmanship.
- there's a ball for the cursed folks!
- river/sea journey!
- Rumpel takes care of anyone who is injured.
- love potion shenanigans (maybe Lucette finds it hidden, maybe Parfait and Waltz make a mistake with a formula)

Coming Out On Top (Visual Novel)

Alex Davies
Mark Matthews

Miscellaneous Feels/Prompts/Thoughts
Mark is such a dingus and I love him. Alex is hot and should absolutely help Mark live out his fantasies in the classroom okay. I would really really like shipfic for them, because... I never finished Alex's route! Out of sheer frustration and weird principled'ness, I am determined to do it without cheating. Which means I have married Ian and helped Jed achieve his dreams, but I have not achieved MY dream of sweet, sweet professor goodness xD

Basically, spoil me. Or make the route go how you want! I would prefer a happy/hopeful ending (if not happy, I want at least to be hopeful for Mark can be with someone else (don't care who, if he can't have Alex xD )).

- Ian plays wingman. Alex swoops in and saves Mark from those shenanigans.
- Empty classroom, extra credit.
- Mark starts bringing Alex coffee every day.
- bachelor auction of the profs (or students! Alex bids on Mark, vice versa? A bidding war??)
- Penny (and/or Ian) get Mark and/or Alex involved in app shenanigans (i'm sorry i'm using that word so much, but it fits dammit xD )
- bonding with Slurpy! (Yes I've played That Route, even if by accident. I remain amused.)

The Royal Romance (Visual Novel)

Liam (The Royal Romance)
Olivia Nevrakis

Miscellaneous Feels/Prompts/Thoughts
The Royal Romance is part of Choices - Stories You Play, which is a mobile game by Pixelberry.

The Royal Romance Characters wiki


This is my Liam <3 I find him the hottest and every playthrough I choose him.

I ship the heck out of Liam/Olivia. I dearly want a ship fic for them. But! I also understand that I'm not guaranteed that, and that's super okay! I'd love gen as well, as long as the focus is the two of them. :D

They could be training together. Or just having a great time in the snow in Lythikos. Or commiserating about MC. Maybe Maxwell or MC or Drake does some matchmaking! An AU of Rules of Engagement (another Choices book) where Liam and that MC don't get together, but after he comes back, he and Olivia start something. Just having a nice, quiet evening with the main gang or a big party at MC's duchy.

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 flat-out getting with Olivia is a yes. I wouldn't mind him pining a bit at the beginning 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 (including Olivia!). Learning Cordonian history. The first time he really saw Olivia as the radiant being she is.

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 (mentioned this before, but good lord she's hot with her knives and competency. Her bonding with the other suitors (a comedy with her and Penelope perhaps? Olivia having to watch the poodles? Liam helps?).

Other ships I like: MC/Maxwell, MC/Hana, Hana/Drake, Madeleine/Happiness, Bertrand/Savannah, Penelope/Ezekiel, Penelope/Kiara, Kiara/Mara, Drake/Maxwell, Regina/Madeleine

Us (Movie 2019)

Gabe Wilson

Miscellaneous Feels/Prompts/Thoughts
This movie is a masterpiece. Lupita was so beyond amazing. And Winston Duke as Gabe AHHH. I love him so much. What a ridiculous character! Yet loved by Adelaide. I love that.

- Would love anything exploring their relationship, earlier, during or post-canon.
- Would love anything pre-movie, during movie, post-movie just focused on Gabe.
- What has he learned?
- How does he view raising his children in the aftermath?
- Has Adelaide/their relationship changed?
- Do they avoid amusement parks, or view them as challenges?
- What is the world like, and what's Gabe's place in it?
- Recovery from those wounds is gonna be a bitch. How does he cope?
- Gabe's doppelganger, thoughts?

Julia Michael Borge
Hiraga Josef Kou
Lauren Di Luca
Roberto Nicholas

Miscellaneous Feels/Prompts/Thoughts
Basically, when I watched this show, all I could think was "there is no heterosexual explanation for any of this" xD

Also, you have my full permission to focus on just one, two, three, or all four of these characters for my gift. I ship any combo of these four (poly, Vs, monogamous twosome, etc.). If you wanna throw in Father McGee anywhere, that's great as well (as he goes very well with my competency kink). Gen is also very welcome! Love casefic (which is basically the canon anyway!). Heavy emphasis or no emphasis or something in between on Catholicism or any religion. Also anything to do with science.

I would prefer non-nazi focused plots though. Got enough of that in canon and irl. Fleeting mentions of past cases involving it are fine.

Julia - That seductive angel!devil. I love absolutely everything about him. The flagellation! The keeping Hiraga close. The reveal of him being head bad dude! My EMOTIONS. But also, him saving Ryouta. Is that to win over Hiraga, or is it an I told You So? A bit of both?

Hiraga - Sweet badass bean! What is there not to like about him?? His faith is extraordinary and powerful, and he is just wonderful.

Lauren - That cell has to be so boring. But also his life is in the wires, so to speak. I love his devotion to Hiraga a lot. I also love how abrupt he is. Exploration of what he does when he's not doing stuff for Hiraga would be welcome.

Roberto - Josef Lycolas Bartridge's devotion to him, woooo dang. Then Roberto mistaking Hiraga for him and just. Wow. Devotion is definitely the word all around. I view him as jealous of Lauren and Hiraga's burgeoning friendship, and definitely jealous of Julia (though he was having a breakdown so yeah). I love that his answer to most everything is books.

Prompts
- road trip
- "miracle" on a cruise ship
- life in a parish in a small town/village
- Julia's pissed off all of the Galdoune. Where does he go? What does he do?
- Lauren's been tracking Julia, and somehow knows he cured Ryouta.
- Roberto cooks and it goes terribly for once, so they cook together.
- an actual demon
- Somebody's an incubus. (Do they feel bad about it? Do they go with it? Must they be stopped?)
