Yuletide 2021

[cienna]

Dear Yuletide Author,

I apologize for this late letter so feel free to disregard if you've already started something! I am sure I will enjoy whatever you write! My absolute favorite is hurt/comfort fic or fic that incorporates a hurt/comfort element, but if that's not your thing I'm also fine with most other things.



Likes:

Hurt/Comfort either physical or emotional
angst with happy endings
found family
humor
wilderness survival
mindbonding
awkward first times (and first times in general)
action/adventure
slow build romance/sex scenes
amnesia
aliens/demons/whatever made them do it
pining
misunderstandings
close friendships
smut (preferably with some build-up)



Dislikes/DNWs:

unhappy endings
deathfic (other than canon death)
curtain fic
kid fic or fic involving babies/pregnancy (mentioning is okay, I just wouldn't want this to be the focus)
extreme dark fic
PWPs
non-canon AUs
five times fic




棋魂 | Hikaru no Go (Live Action TV)
Requested Characters - Shi Guang, Yu Liang

I love their friendship/rivalry and how it developed gradually over the course of the series. I would love a fic that takes place after the series ends that shows how their relationship has developed. I think some sort of fake dating fic with these two could also be fun. Alternately, something super angsty where one of them has to stop playing go.




成化十四年 | The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty (TV)
Requested Characters - Wang Zhi, Ding Rong

I absolutely adore Wang Zhi and particularly his relationship with Ding Rong in the show. I would be happy to see any missing scenes with them that explore their relationship further, as well as anything that takes place after the series ends where they go off together for Wang Zhi's new position. I do enjoy all the other characters in the show too so I'm fine if they're included. I would also enjoy any sort of h/c scenario where either of the characters is sick/injured or something that addresses both of them dealing with the aftereffects of Ding Rong's betrayal at the end of the series.




Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian
Requested Characters - Jack Aubrey, Stephen Maturin

I adore this series of books! I have read up through The Yellow Admiral so I am fine with spoilers up until that point or even something based on just the film canon. The heart of the book for me is definitely Jack and Stephen's relationship so anything dealing with that is going to be a win. I love how they are kind of opposites, with Jack being completely useless on land and Stephen being kind of inept with sea-related things, and the humor that goes along with that. It can be either platonic friendship or slashy, I am good with either.

I love h/c, so something where one of them gets hurt or is threatened in some way and the other one freaks out would be amazing. I really like Sophie, so I'm fine with her being mentioned or included, but I'm not a big fan of Diana, purely because of all the crap she puts Stephen through. For me Jack and Stephen are basically married, so I'm good with either established relationship or first time for them.




琅琊榜 | Nirvana in Fire (TV)
Requested Characters - Lin Shu|Mei Changsu|Su Zhe, Xiao Jingyan

I watched this series kind of late, but really fell in love with it and especially with the Mei Changsu/Xiao Jingyan pairing. Any sort of fix-it fic would always be welcomed as the ending was way too painful. Alternately, something that takes place during the series that has either of them taking care of the other.
