Yuletide 2019!
Oct. 27th, 2019 10:47 am*sings* It's the moooost wonderful time of the yeaaaar!
It's Yuletide! This is my most favorite fic exchange because I get to write tiny book fandoms and receive things that would never see the light of day otherwise. It's the best. So you're already my favorite (reference to one of my nominated fandoms unintended) for agreeing to write one of these. I like a wide variety of things - my current favorite fic is an HP/FMA gen WIP that lives on hilarious dialogue and the inner desire of the POV character to murder the incompetent people around him, but I've also been known to enjoy your garden variety coffee shop AU or Avengers canon-related Bucky/Steve, as well as reading fic for fandoms I've never encountered in the wild. It's mostly about the writing quality, really.
Things I like:
OT3s if the fandom lends itself to it, well-earned happy endings (I love a bit of conflict and complications), found families, spies, pining (if a pairing fic), plotty gen, mystery stories, hurt/comfort, cuddling for warmth, heist stories, cleverness, magic, unexpected crossovers.
Things I don't enjoy:
Rape, explicit torture, bleakness - specifically situations where there's no light at all, so to speak, major character death, bashing female characters.
Here are the fandoms:
The Favourite (2018)
Oh, these three. Abigail! Sarah! THE QUEEN. I specifically don't want anything where they end up unhappy, but gen, OT3, whatever, as long as they get to be their delightful selves and be HAPPY. And intrigue is fine - intrigue where they outmaneuver some fucking men would be ace. I want them all to win the game, essentially, and if that happens via getting Abigail pregnant and passing her child off as Anne's somehow (I realize royal succession is complicated) that also works. They could also just spend the entire story having delightful sex and enjoying one another. The movie was so gorgeous and so sexy, and the women were so compelling. I adored it so much.
Rocketman (2019)
Ray was the most darling bit of sunshine, incredibly in love with Elton, and so tragically quiet about it. My fucking heart, essentially. The one thing I don't want is tragic pining and no happy ending, because there's so much tragic queer stuff out there and while it's beautiful I need a little more joy in my life. That isn't to say it can't be sad along the way but I want Ray to be happy at the end, please. With Elton, if possible. All the movie was missing (for me) was a duet between the two of them before they rode into the sunset (I'm aware Elton's actual husband turned up later, but poetic license, please, he COULD have been named Ray, I mean, the movie had plenty of more fantastical things happening).
Green Men Series - K. J. Charles
Somehow Max didn't get nominated. I wish I'd known! You're not required to include all the characters here - what I super would adore would be the Hugh/Max sequel to Green Men, micro (just a day in the life) or macro (they're the cavalry, after all), or how they get together as a couple, or the expanded prequel (we got how Randolph recruited them in a KJ Charles short, but an extended version of that would be amazing - how did they start trusting him?). I'd ALSO be thrilled with Saul and Randolph, because this is my very favorite KJ Charles book and more - just more! - would be excellent.
