2022 Yuletide letter

neveralarchHello author! Hope you're as excited about Yuletide as I am :) Treats are also welcome, if anyone's wondering!
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 is mildly sick/injured, 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.
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.
Transformers (IDW 2019)
I would love to see any combination of these characters, to be honest, or a character study of any of them on their own. I really like the Big Lady Generals, Cyclonus walking around with his memories of his friends always colored by their deaths, Jumpstream's cheerful determination and loyalty to Pyra Magna... Some specific prompts for your consideration:
1. Cyclonus and Pyra Magna really exploring this deep well of resentment Cyclonus has held for her for so long, over a strategic decision Pyra Magna made without even thinking about at all. Maybe they should also kiss about it, in a sad/angry/condescending way. Maybe Jumpstream should also be there to defend her general? Hello I'm always thinking about messy threesomes.
2. Pyra Magna and Strika 'discussing' their new alliances and their new war, also possibly with kissing. Jumpstream could be there again! There's the potential for something really fun with Jumpstream being sent back and forth between them, with messages and other more personal notes...
I'd really prefer no humanformers, but any other AUs totally fair game. Explicit or gen equally welcome. I'm sensitive to body horror and character death - Cyclonus and his ghosts are right at the edge of what I can enjoy. I'd appreciate it if you didn't linger on gory descriptions of the ghosts or their deaths.
The Greenhollow Series - Emily Tesh
What I would honestly love most of all is messy unhealthy Fabian/Henry while Tobias watches and is torn between stopping it and joining in. I'd prefer it if you'd avoid any brutal rape/noncon, but hypnosis/light mind control, and/or conditioning very welcome - anything where Henry feels like something is off but he's enjoying himself anyway...
Alternatively, I'd also be super interested in an AU where Fabian makes it out into the living world in a more permanent way, and then Henry and Tobias just have to Deal With This (and maybe figure out how to send Fabian back).
Explicit or gen equally welcome! I'm sensitive to body horror, character death, and especially zombies - Fabian's appearances in the book were sometimes right at the edge of what I could do. I'd appreciate it if you didn't linger on gory descriptions (but creepy is totally okay). I haven't read Drowned Country yet and I MIGHT have by the time Yuletide rolls around, but no guarantees. I don't mind mild spoilers, but nothing I'd need to have read that for in order to understand, please!
Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers
Peter/Harriet are the ONLY valid canon couple in classic mystery, and they invented romance. I love how careful they are with each other, and how hard they try to understand, and how surprised and a little unsettled they are to have found each other. I have tried to write collar fic and pegging for them twice, and failed both times. If you can manage it, I would be thrilled (especially if Peter's in the collar).
Alternatively, I'd also love to see a Peter and Harriet adventure, or them trying to fit in to Society (in town or the country), or navigating Children. Explicit or gen equally welcome!
