dear creator letter (@yuletide)

Hello! I posted this letter after assignments went out, so please feel free to use my base sign-up if that's easier for you! I'm very damn easy to please. (Final update: 01/11/2020)

Likes: angst with an unhappy ending, apocalypse AU, bittersweet endings, canon divergences, character studies, dubcon due to power imbalances/altered states, drunk confessions, fake dating, first times, five times fic, huddling for warmth, light bondage, on the run from the law, orgasm delay/denial, pegging, pining (requited or not), rough sex, smutty character studies, soulmate AUs (both inverted and played straight), time-travel, unconventional formats and POVs (e.g. mixed media, interactive fiction, first/second person, outsider POV), watersports.

DNWs: age play, animal play, bestiality, blood-related parent-child incest, explicit underage (under 16), foot fetish (shoes okay!), mpreg, omegaverse, physically violent noncon, raceplay, scat, unrequested gender headcanons, unrequested asexuality headcanons, vore.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Rebecca Bunch, Audra Levine, Nathaniel Plimpton III, Valencia Perez

(Note: I have a fandom-specific DNW of Paula being present in the fic. Mentions are fine, however!) 

As mentioned in my sign-up, I'm cool with any two or more of these characters being included! In terms of ships, I love Rebecca/Audra, Rebecca/Nathaniel, and Rebecca/Valencia. I really enjoy the parallels between Rebecca and Audra, and how they come to realise just how similar they are towards the end of the series. I'm super invested in the idea of Audra being inspired to find her happiness, and am happy to read explorations of this with any of the other characters as well (platonically or romatically, I am here for it.) Let Audra be part of the girl gang, why not! I'd love to see her butt heads with Nathaniel, too. 

I loved all the explorations of Rebecca's canonical romance options, but Rebecca/Nathaniel is the one I'm really hankering for fic of out of the three main men in her life. I'd love to see them give things a real shot once Nathaniel returns from his sabbatical, and bond further over the shared experiences of relieving themselves of the burdens of other people's expectations! 

I think Rebecca and Valencia had intense chemistry from the very beginning, and there'll always be a little part of me that's sad the show didn't go the route of Rebecca's bi awakening (in addition to Darryl's excellent one). And Valencia's happened off-screen. Let them make out a little! God, if you wanted to go the smutty route and included any variation of watersports somehow, I would cry. 

Fear not if you are not in the mood to write shippy stuff because I also love gen about these four dorks, shenanigans in West Covina, and esp seasonal stuff given the time of year! I like explorations of their relationships with families, of forging friendships and overcoming the odds. It's time for another California Christmas! If you want to go the ensemble cast route, some of my other faves are: Bert, Darryl, Maya, Tim, Jim, White Josh, Josh Chan, Greg, AJ, Naomi... 


The Outer Worlds
Ellie Fenhill, Theodora Fenhill, Lionel Witherspoon


Ellie was hands down my favourite character in The Outer Worlds, and her personal quest really resonated with me. I'd love to see her mounting frustration with Byzantium: what other ways did she act out before leaving for good?
 Had she previously developed a taste for bringing unsuitable partners home to her parents in the past? Is there a story behind her getting the name 'Ellie' out of 'Marilyn'? 

I'm also down for Ellie being shipped with any Captain who's not a cishet male, if you want to go the later canon route! I'd also be down for her regaling tales of her family to her lover, or on a more tragic/fucked up note, fighting with a Captain who's basically murdered her parents. 🙃

Note: I've not had a chance to play the DLC yet, but am not avoiding spoilers! 

To the Moon
Eva Rosalene, Neil Watts

I ship them a lot, but honestly, I'm so thirsty for any content between them that I'll take anything! For ship stuff, I'd love to see first times/getting together, and for gen I'm here for any exploration of their working relationship, and whatever history they had before working for Sigmund Corp. Regardless of the particulars of their relationship, what do they think about going through the memory modification process themselves? Have they had more disagreements about ethics in their field? 

The Handmaid's Tale
Serena Joy Waterford, June Osborne

I just love seeing these two being unable to extract themselves from each other's lives and being codependent, platonically or sexually. Do they reunite somehow after the events of Season 3, and do they continue trying to play each other like fiddles? I would like the primary canon source to be the TV show, but feel free to supplement with information from the books!
