Yuletide 2018
Oct. 19th, 2018 10:12 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
abluestockingIt’s October! That means it’s finally fall (California has nonsense seasons that keeps it well into the 90s for a ridiculously long time), and that means it’s my favorite time of year! This is my eighth Yuletide, and I’ve loved each and every one of them. :)
So welcome, dear Yuletide writer! Please know that it is incredibly hard to disappoint me. I’m like a kid in a candy store – unless it’s black licorice (i.e., on my DNW list), I pretty much covet anything and everything. I want you to write something you enjoy and love, in one of the fantastic fandoms we share. Does half a prompt inspire you, but you want to mix-and-match it with half of a prompt from another fandom section? Go for it! Do you want to ignore my fandom prompts and take your cue from one of my general likes instead? Fabulous! ♥

~ Any length. Stories all have natural lengths. Write what gives you joy.

•• DNWs ••
~ Pain, horror, and death. This includes torture, gore, and BDSM beyond light spanking. (In mystery canons, canon-typical murders are fine, as long as the graphic details aren’t exceptionally graphic.)
~ Characters with mental illness, including depression.
~ Anything but full consent. This includes non-con, dub-con, incest, and underage sex.
~ Animal harm. This includes bestiality, hunting, and animal death. (In Wimsey, it would be fine to mention that Denver enjoys hunting and include that as one of his topics of conversation, as long as he’s not going into gorily graphic detail, but I would not enjoy a fic set during one of his hunts.)
~ Bodily fluids, excluding non-graphic mentions of offscreen vomiting and mentions of blood at a crime scene. (Natural sexual secretions are fine too but kinking on them – e.g., comeplay – does nothing for me.)
~ Infidelity by requested characters. (If I’m requesting a non-canon ship and the characters already have a canon ship, please don’t give me infidelity-fic. I’m fine with either setting the fic before the beginning of the canon ship or doing a canon-divergence AU.)
~ Any form of abuse in the relationships or friendships of the requested characters. (Fine to include as, say, backstory as to why a murder victim became a murder victim, as long as the details are canon-typical and not exceptionally graphic.) This includes homophobic abuse, even/especially from family members.
~ Unhappy endings; unrelieved angst or angst that doesn’t resolve into a hopeful or happy ending.
~ “Will they or won’t they” tension that resolves into “they won’t”. I love both friendship-fic and friends-to-lovers fic, and am thrilled to receive either (I am a true neutral in the gen vs. ship wars); what I don’t want is cockblocky angst in which a ship I’ve requested ultimately decides to not to take the next step or ignores their attraction.
~ Racism, homophobia, and/or misogyny espoused by requested or friendly characters.
~ Bodyshaming.

FANDOM NUMBER ONE: Damar Series - Robin McKinley
Requests: Harry Crewe, Corlath
To this day, The Blue Sword remains one of my favorite books. I simply adore Harry. I love her journey over the course of the book, her character growth, and her developing relationships with the men and women she meets. Snatched out of her own world, she creates a new life for herself, and oh, wins a war and protects both of her worlds along the way. And there are so many great characters in her worlds – Corlath, Senay, Mathin, Jack, Kentarre, Richard, Gonturan, and the list goes on.
So! If you already have a plotbunny - or if any of the general likes in my letter inspire one - go for it! I love surprises. :) If not, here are some prompts!
• Harry and Corlath having adventures together after their marriage.
• Narknon’s perspective on their relationship.
• Harry or Corlath (or both) telling their child(ren) a bedtime story about how they fell in love.
• Harry or Corlath solving a mystery involving the other (or solving a mystery together).
• Harry and Corlath visiting Ihistan and overcoming awkwardness/difficulties there by working together.
• Harry and Corlath talking about a cultural difference they have.
In addition to my Harry/Corlath prompts, I have a few other ideas (for these, feel free to leave Corlath out if he doesn’t fit.)
• How about a five-times fic looking at Harry’s different friendships?
• An AU in which Corlath doesn’t kidnap Harry; how does her life in Istan unfold differently? (Does she still end up in Damar somehow?)
• Outsider POV is one of my favorite writing styles. To take only a couple of examples (feel free to create your own!), I’d love to see Mathin’s view of Harry’s training and transformation, Jack’s impressions of the changed Harry and her new role in Damar, or Lady Amelia’s version of her visit when Aerin Amelia is born.
• Canon-divergence AU in which Harry and Senay are the ones who fall in love.
• Does Harry ever travel back Home, whether as a diplomat/emissary for Damar or as a private citizen? Does anyone go with her (Corlath, Jack, Richard, one of her children, etc.)?
• What does Harry teach her children about her old world (or does she?)
Please do feel free to consult my general likes to supplement these prompts! And thank you again for writing for me. ♥

FANDOM NUMBER TWO:
Miss Marple - Agatha Christie
Requests: Jane Marple
Jane Marple is my heroine. She’s both utterly badass and utterly adorable, and I love stories that balance the two. Jane will solve murders and win hearts at the same time, and finish her knitting projects while she’s at it. She’s one of my favorite characters in fiction, so I will love any story about her, whether you set it when she’s ten or when she’s ninety.
I love the way Jane comes across as so sweetly dotty and harmless to people who don’t know her (including murderers whom she’s chasing), and how word of her skills spreads among people in the business. I love how she truly cares about her community, and thus does what she can to keep it humming along, while having an astute view of the seamier side of human nature. I love the way her detecting mind works, and how she solves big mysteries by seeing the patterns she’s observed in smaller mysteries.
My topmost, pie-in-the-sky wish would be for a casefic in which Jane was either already in a romantic relationship with a woman, or fell in love with her over the course of the case. But I don’t have my heart set on it, and I’d be totally thrilled with either a casefic sans romance or a romance sans casefic. :) The only thing I ask is that there be no angst in Jane’s love life (unless it’s of the “she might be a murderer! oh hooray, she isn’t” type).
Some prompts:
• Casefic! (You knew that was coming, lol.)
• An AU which adds a long-term female partner to Jane’s life and detecting career would be wonderful.
• Alternatively, a fic about Jane falling in love (whether as a younger woman or at her canonical advanced age) would be fantastic too!
• Outsider POV is one of my favorite writing styles. How does someone who’s not Jane (a detective? A village resident? A relative? A housemaid? A murderer? Jane’s long-term partner? A woman falling in love with Jane?) observe her habits and method during a murder case?
• Does Jane ever try her hand at writing a mystery? Alternatively, does she read mysteries and point out their flaws? (Perhaps to the woman she loves? Or to her cat?)
• What was the first murder Jane solved? Was that the first time she recognized her extraordinary deductive gifts, or were they previously useful in other contexts?
• Does Jane ever train an apprentice/join up with another detective? (Does she end up falling in love with her?)
• Crossovers with other mystery series are great! (Please no Sherlock, however, except perhaps as part of a five-times fic.) Jane and Poirot or Ariadne Oliver, Jane and Harriet or Peter or the Dowager Duchess, Jane and Nero Wolfe, Jane and Amelia Peabody, Jane and Phryne Fisher – I would love to read all of these. (NB: I do ship Jane/the Dowager Duchess and Jane/Amelia, but am happy to read friendship gen for them as well.)
Please do feel free to consult my general likes to supplement these prompts! And thank you again for writing for me. ♥

FANDOM NUMBER THREE:
Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers
Requests: Honoria Lucasta Dowager Duchess of Denver, Harriet Vane, Peter Wimsey, Helen Duchess of Denver
First of all, this is one of my favorite fictional universes of all time. A fic about any of these characters being in love/having fun/in the middle of adventures/solving a mystery together/telling each other stories/etc. will make me very happy indeed. :) Not all of the prompts below include all the requested characters, and you don’t have to force all four in to a story where they don’t fit.
The Dowager Duchess
• When Peter tells her about the murder he’s currently investigating, Honoria realizes with a jolt that the bereaved widow of the deceased is her girlhood sweetheart who she hasn’t seen in forty years. Can she help Peter clear her beloved’s name? And will love re-spark?
• As she gets to know Harriet, Honoria is reminded powerfully of the woman she loved.
• Peter or Peter & Harriet are in trouble! Honoria needs help to save him/clear their names/etc. She’ll have to go to the woman she thought she’d never speak to again.
• Honoria falls in love for the first time in her life, and is as giddy as a schoolgirl about it (much to Helen’s chagrin).
• Honoria writes a letter home to Harriet & Peter from a cruise/Orient Express/American trip, and they read between the lines and realize that she’s fallen in love with someone she’s met along the way.
The Dowager Duchess & Harriet Vane
• Harriet & Honoria bonding doing just about anything.
• Peter is away on Foreign Office work. Harriet & Honoria have to solve a mystery while he’s away.
• Honoria tries her hand at writing a mystery (or other type of novel). What does Harriet think of it?
• Honoria and Harriet (& Peter if you want) go on a trip together. Does it stay uneventful? (If so, fluffy bonding is totally something I enjoy!) Does it turn dramatic? (Time to solve a murder/theft/etc.!)
• (during the courtship years) Peter is out in London when he happens upon a teashop in which (gasp!) he sees his mother & Harriet chatting together. What can they be talking about? Should he join them?
Helen Duchess of Denver & Harriet Vane
So my main prompt for this relationship is: Harriet & Helen are forced to work together somehow. Some ideas:
• Harriet & Helen are kidnapped by a murderer (do they know too much? Stumbled upon a clue? Happened upon a murder in process?) and have to work together to escape.
• Some indiscreet letters of Helen’s are being used to blackmail her. She can’t face going to Peter to help, so she comes to Harriet in confidence instead (even though it galls).
• Gerald either dies or runs off with a younger woman, and Harriet helps Helen put her life back together.
• Winifred (Helen’s daughter) has written a scandalous book, and actually sent it off to a publisher! Helen, blaming Harriet for this development, comes to her to ask her to try to get the manuscript back before it shames the family.
Harriet Vane/Peter Wimsey
• Harriet and Peter solve a domestic mystery together.
• Peter writes a mystery story for Harriet’s birthday. What’s his style, and what does Harriet think of it?
• Harriet and Peter enjoy setting up small mysteries/puzzles for the other to solve. But does Harriet always play exactly fair?
• I really enjoy canon-divergence AUs. How might Harriet & Peter have fallen in love in a slightly different universe? What if Harriet had never lived with Boyes, for example? What if Peter read one of her mysteries and then met her at a party? Etc.
• Outside-POV of Harriet & Peter’s relationship! I adore the letters at the beginning of Busman’s Honeymoon, so anything in that style would be fantastic. But also any story from outside POV, really. Helen, St. George, the Dowager, Gerald, Miss Climpson, an OC murderer caught by Harriet & Peter – they all sound great.
• Harriet tells Peter about the punt incident. They go punting again. ;)
• AU in which Peter is the detective novelist, and Harriet the detective who rescues him from the noose.
• Harriet spots the clues and deduces that they’re going to be grandparents before Peter does.
• Harriet and Peter solve a mystery at their thirtieth-wedding-anniversary party.

Hopefully this letter has been helpful! :) If you want more info, feel free to check out my other fandoms for ideas, and/or my past letters (under the exchange letters tag). A lot of my favorite tropes and plotbunnies are panfandom (with variations, of course, for different characters), and can be stolen for other fandoms or used as inspiration.
Thank you again for offering one of my fandoms! ♥ I’ll love whatever you write. :)
