2021 Yuletide letter

neveralarchHello author! Hope you're as excited about Yuletide as I am :)
Let me make this easy-ish: I'm probably going to be happy with whatever you're thinking of writing. In general terms, I really like happy fics, funny fics, and I always have a serious craving for fics where someone has screwed up or is just stressed out and someone else helps them out. I will read most things and love them, including dark fic, plotty fic, ship fic, and so on and so on. I will love your gen fic, and I will also love your smut - I do have some notes about pairings in my requests, but please don't take them as demands, just suggestions.
Some specific things I hope you'll avoid: I generally have to be careful reading things with horror (especially body horror), acute embarrassment, death as a major plot point (or philosophical discussion), incest, underage character/of age character, and rape/non-con. If it's something incidental, I can probably deal, but a fic focusing on any of these things would be really difficult for me to read. Also, zombies. I almost can't do zombies at all - I've had to stop reading/watching many things because there were zombies. (It's mostly the cannibalism that gets me.) I've made a specific note about this in the fandoms where it could be an issue.
Otherwise: go wild. Specific requests are reposted here for your convenience.
Astielle - Kitty Unpretty
Karzarul, Leonas, Minnow
I really like the dom/sub vibe in Astielle and would LOVE to see more of the trio navigating sex and intimacy with two very traumatized people (Kazarul and Leonas) and one very enthusiastic but not entirely confident Minnow. Would also be up for just a scene with th three of them on an adventure or trying to have date(s) - I prefer at least some plot with my fluff, but I'm very easy for messy threesomes, haha.
Things I especially like about these three:
-Leonas struggling to come to grips with his fears, insecurities, and unquestioned beliefs
-Karzarul navigating the difference between Scary or Hot or Both
-Minnow getting embarrassed by only SOME sex stuff
-Leonas touch sensitivity (but also him curling up in Kazarul's lap hnnnn)
-The way Minnow understands each of them so intuitively, but can't quite explain them to each other
Really excited to see anything you're thinking about!
Gideon the Ninth
John Gaius, Mercymorn, Augustine
Hello I'm Nev and I LOVE messy threesomes. I just. Want to know everything about this giant mess of necromancers. I'd be especially interested to read something about the long period of plotting and the way John as an idol slowly soured to John as an obstacle for the others - but would also happily eat up a character study, pwp, coffeeshop AU, whatever strikes you when you're thinking of these three characters. I also really like Harrow looking in on this like UGH and would be happy to read more in her pov.
Two big caveats: I like this series, but am easily squicked by zombies and character death (the books tend to be right at the edge of what I can handle). If you could tone down any horror elements for me, I would really appreciate it :)
Murderbot Diaries
Murderbot
What I would love most of all for this series is some kind of nonsense AU. You know how people complain that there's a coffeeshop AU in every fandom? I want a coffeeshop AU in Murderbot. Other AUs I would love to see you try, preferably in the silliest/most off-the-wall way:
-Highschool AU
-amateur theater AU
-historical AU
-(platonic) soulmates AU
-AU where Murderbot has to do your job
-etc etc etc
I only listed Murderbot because they're the only character I really would miss having in a fic like this, but I love pretty much the whole cast, especially all of the other bots. Murderbot having found family and dealing with the fact that people inexplicably like them is always gold. The only thing I really wouldn't be interested in is a shippy, taken seriously romance involving Murderbot (though Murderbot trying to understand romance is super fun).
