[YULETIDE] Dear Yuletide Writer...

[tigerine]

Firstly, thank you so much for your time and attention to my yuletide request. This is my second yuletide and I had so much fun last year that I decided to do it again. I'll try to be direct and to-the-point.  Anonymous comments are on if you have any questions about the prompts. 

Things I like, in general: 
--Explicit sexual content is always welcome, with appropriate lube usage
--Bittersweet; something gained but 'at what cost'
--Presence of the seasons and natural world in fiction
--High sensuality, especially with scent, color, fabric, and sound
--Bondage and/or light BDSM play
--Yearning/pining, ESPECIALLY with slow burn
--Politeness kink (playing with moving back and forth through private and public spaces as indicated by keigo, mode of address, and bodily closeness)
--Deep introspective dives into regret, followed by a single light at the end of the tunnel


OK in moderation:
--Drugs
--Gratuitous violence that is not canon-appropriate
--Dub-con
--Knife/Bladeplay


Things I do not want, in general  (further DNWs under each request):
--No scat, watersports, extended descriptions of vomit, rape, gratuitous gore or eye horror
--No nicknames or affectionate pet names (honey, darling, etc)
--Intense, protracted social embarrassment and/or shame on the part of any character, or continued teasing/shaming of that character (embarrassed about a boner? okay. ashamed of their bad decisions and told about it for pages? not okay)
--Pregnancy, kids, mpreg
--ABO (I actually love ABO but I am so picky about it it's better to Just Say No)
--Death.
--"Crack"fic
--Issuefic. 

Yuletide Request 1: Thunderbolt Fantasy, Shang + Lin
DNW: References to LinSha, except as a past thing. 
Optional bonus: Appearances by Lang and his Rowdy Lute

I feel like Lin and Shang have a very contentious relationship, but while Lin might be the kind to hatefuck, Shang is not. One of my friends recently brought up the idea of Shang very aggressively 'lovefucking' Lin. So maybe Shang is well aware of what kind of people are chasing him across the Wasteland of Spirits. Lin, being as overleveled as he is, might not take it seriously, but Shang might feel the need to give Lin the slip to spare him being caught up in the schemes and machinations of his old enemies-- not that he thinks Lin can't handle himself (or that Lin doesn't deserve all the trouble he gets into)... It's more like Lin is unpredictable with new sources of power around. Let him chase after Shang some other time, trying to discover and then claim that intangible something that no one else can steal. What happens if Lin doesn't take the hint when Shang cuts him loose? Or takes the WRONG hint? Feel free to incorporate stuff from Season 2 as it happens, esp if Lin figures out that Lang and Shang were an item in the past and Lang got cut loose just like he's been cut loose. I don't care how you get there or what shady decisions you have Lin make to get there. Just have Shang aggressively 'lovefuck' Lin and we'll be good. 

Yuletide Request 2: Hypnosis Mic OT3, Doppo + Jakurai + Hifumi polyship
DNW: Not even a whisper of RamuJaku. References to Ramuda should be as cursory as possible. 
Optional bonus: References to Samatoki and Jyuto in a dysfunctional (working and romantic) relationship
Additional bonus: A kiss under a big Christmas tree between Jakuhifu and Doppojaku followed by Doppohifu holding hands on the way home

Please give me a Japanese Christmas fic with Doppo having to work late/overtime, his boss snapping that he doesn't have a girlfriend so he doesn't have any excuse to get out early, and Jakurai and Hifumi each trying to procure (1) bucket of KFC and (1) Christmas Cake despite the late hour and no plans made. Hijinks ensue. Maybe they can find the chicken and cake, maybe not. . Romantic dinner for three may take place anywhere, after any amount of comedic or fluffy slice-of-life relationship exploration. Feel free to allow Hifumi to use his connections in host-mode to get what he wants. Some 'Gift of the Magi' energy would be nice (as long as Jakurai doesn't cut his hair!) example: Doppo trying to work overtime on Christmas in order to be able to take an extra day off at New Year or something, but Jakurai taking Christmas off because he has to be on-call at the hospital on New Year's Eve. More big bonus points to Hifumi being a good wife to them both. 



Yuletide Request 3: KADO The Right Answer, Yaha-kui zaShunina + Shindou Kojirou, (with optional guest Hanamori Shun)
DNW: Any mentions of Kanata.
Optional bonus: A scene with Shindou talking with his mother (a la that one episode where she talks about zaShunina's family) where he realizes he loves zaShunina

I would like to see a treatment of zaShunina as potentially insecure lover. The more human he becomes, the more he becomes aware of the ways in which Shindou is tied to those around him. Is Shindou just a dependable senpai to Hanamori? Or something more? zaShunina and Shindou need not be in a relationship for zaShunina to develop these insecurities (and it might be more painfully sweet if they are not, but then Shindou realizes he needs zaShunina in his life.) Would super love to see this culminate in a tender, private kiss (and maybe fucking?? IDK go wild)



Yuletide Request 4: Today's Menu For the Emiya Family, Lancer and Archer
DNW: None I can think of
Optional bonus: Attach an Actual Recipe you've found/tested.

I'm a disgusting Fate/Casual but I'd love to see Lancer taking care of Archer when he's sick, especially if he can make him some salmon ochazuke to help him through the cold/flu. Bonus points to you if you pick some fishy thing other than salmon ochazuke that Lancer can make and feed to Archer to help him get better. Also big big bonus points if Archer is being a bit tsun about the whole thing but gives him a grudging 'thanks' at the end of it, which encourages Lancer's big puppy affection even more. 



Yuletide Request 5: 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 Mo Dao Zu Shi by Moxiang Tongsiu, Lan WangJi with Wei WuXian and Wen Ning
DNW: Ribbon bondage with LWJ's headband
Optional bonus: scene where Wen Ning, who was set to watch over LWJ while WWX was out doing stuff, faces the decision of describing LWJ's activities to WWX or letting it slide. 

Post Sunshot and post-resurrection, I'd like to see Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian traveling, and Lan WangJi trying to take advantage of Wei WuXian's absence (your choice as to why he's not present) to get a chance to masturbate to thoughts of Wei WuXian. However, he cannot shake the feeling of being watched, and instead of it dampening his lust, it only serves to enflame it. Wen Ning is really cute, and I want to see your take on whether he'd realize the object of Lan WangJi's lusts and tell Wei WuXian or if he'd keep it to himself. (Also would Wei WuXian even notice, since he kinda dense when it comes to his feelings about Lan WangJi...) Basically, Wen Ning being a cute third wheel to slightly sexually-frustrated Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian, who can see that Lan WangJi is head over heels for Wei WuXian and his master hasn't realized his own feelings. 

Yuletide Request 6: Natsume Yuujinchou (Natsume's Book of Friends), Natsume Takashi and Matoba Seiji
DNW: Mentions of Tanuma
Optional bonus: 'Friendly' handjobs? 

I'm not a HUGE Natsume fan but I do love the series. Even though my main ship is Natsume and Tanuma, I can't deny that Matoba hits a lot of my switches, so I want to see something with him and Natsume. I'd like it to be dripping with intrigue or have preludes to skirmishes with youkai. Maybe Matoba is planning something big and sees Natsume as an asset he wants at his disposal. Maybe he's actually open to viewing him as an equal (regardless of how correct his interpretation of Natsume's relationship with youkai is). I want to see Matoba more aggressively pursuing Natsume, even wooing him. Use whatever other characters you want to make your arguments for or against the relationship within the narrative, but Natsume eventually goes to see Matoba. How does he invite him? How close can Matoba get to him? How far will Natsume let him get? Can he get away with holding hands? A kiss? Even more? I want to see Matoba simmering with barely-contained desire--up to you what he desires (cough THE BOOK coughcough), and how far he goes to get it.
