midrashic | Dear Yuletide Writer (Reply)

[waves] I'm so glad we got matched up! You and I will do great things together.

General DNWs:

hardcore kink (ageplay, animalplay, watersports, scat)
rape/non-con
A/B/O or D/s 'verse
character/canon bashing
crossovers

Favorite tropes and kinks:
I love stories dripping in detail about a time or a place. Two of my fandoms are historical, the other has a richly ironic and well-developed space western backdrop. I'm fine with AUs as long as they're fleshed out and detailed. Some of my favorite AUs include:

figure skating at the Olympics AU
debate club AU
high fantasy AU
BNF AU or writer AU
Hunger Games AU

I love most sci-fi tropes like time travel (especially stable time loops), meeting your alternate-dimension counterpart, and Groundhog Days. I'm especially a sucker for soulmate fic. In general, most tropes are good (jealousy? yes. hurt/comfort? yes. fake dating? yes). I love love love casefic, for fandoms in which the source material is obliging.

Anne with an E
This is my fluffy happy fandom, so there are a few more squicks here than usual! Please no: infidelity, major character death, non-canonical abuse, angst with unhappy endings. I really like the lighter stuff here, so my kink is handholding, glancing at each other, Gilbert holding a hand to Anne's cheek and feeling it warm with her blush. I prefer Anne x Gilbert as a pairing if at all possible; side pairings are fine.

Bad Boy!Gilbert. If you can somehow set this in canon, I'll love you forever. Bad-boy!Gilbert smuggling meds to the Bog. Bad-boy!Gilbert practicing guerilla medicine. Just... bad-boy!Gilbert.
Anne playing The Lady of Shallott with Gilbert and having him rescue her.
A post-marriage reunion in that coffeeshop in Charlottetown in which Gilbert confesses to Anne that her telling him to come home soon is the moment when he knew that he would return to Avonlea one day.
Gilbert proposing to Anne the moment they get the results accepting them both to King's College.
A spin on the original Anne books: Gilbert asking Anne to go to a ball and them having a spat about it.

The Hour
My absolute favorite thing about The Hour is the Bel x Freddie x Hector relationship, whether gen or romantic. I love highly competent people having each other's backs and protecting each other in different ways.

The Season 3 that will never be. How do Freddie, Bel, and Hector recover from Cilenti's attack? What's the next story they go on to pursue? How do Bel and Freddie move forward after all the things that have been said and not said?
Contemporary AU. What's a Brightstone in today's parlance? How is Hector the face of the news in a world where cable news is dying as fast as the newsreels then? How is Bel still dealing with sexism, but of a different, more insidious sort? What does a vice sting look like today? Vaping and graffiti? How does Freddie inevitably end up with his heart in his mouth and his story in the news?
The spy AU. Freddie is James, Bel is Moneypenny, and Hector is...? Alternatively, a retelling of the series wherein Freddie was the Brightstone all along.

Sparks Nevada: Marshal on Mars
This is another OTP/OT3 where I just love the relationship between Sparks x Croach (x the Red Plains Rider). Gen or slash, it's all about that core relationship dynamic for me.

One of Sparks and Croach's (and Red's) many adventures before all that pregnancy and Jupiter spy and marriage business happened. Someone's been rustlin' hypercattle, or whatever. Go wild!
Post-series fix-it. What happens after they get back from the surface of the sun? Or, to pick a slightly earlier point in canon to fix it, how do Red and Croach pick themselves up after Sparks goes... to Earth?
Sparks travels back in time to significant moments in his life and gently nudges himself on towards his destiny. Featuring: Sparks realizing how annoying he is, maybe being helplessly charmed at a young Croach,
