Welcome!
Thank you so much for writing for me this year. I’m really looking forward to seeing what you create for me.
I'm generally okay with most things as long as you don't hit any of my DNWs. So if any of the prompts listed here don't work for you, or if you can't work with my kinks, that's fine! Just write whatever you'd like and, so long as you avoid the DNW list, I'll probably love it.
DNW: Rape/Non-con, Major Character Death, A/B/O, Non-Canon Setting AUs, Gaslighting, Scat, Watersports, Crack fic, MPreg
There are a few fandoms in which I have exceptions to those, so I'll go into more detail when breaking down prompts.
Favourite Tropes: Canon Divergent AUs & Fix-It Fic, Time Travel, Domestic Fluff, Established Relationships, Secret Relationships
I'm happy to receive smut as well as lower-rated fic. If you want to give a porny Yuletide gift, then my favourite kinks are as follows:
Breath-play, knife-play, blood-play, daddy kink, lingerie, rough sex, topping from the bottom
Smut is not necessary for me to enjoy fic, though, so don't worry about it.
Fandoms:
The Fall of the House of Usher (TV - 2023)
Camille L’Espanaye, Verna, Napoleon Usher, Victorine LaFourcade
I am completely in love with this series, and Camille is my favourite - but I'd be delighted to receive fic about any of the listed characters in any combination. I'd love to see something exploring their relationships with each other, either pre-canon and during. Their relationships are all so toxic, but there seems to be some degree of genuine fondness between Leo and Camille.
If you want to write ship fic, I'm all for it, but I'm happy to receive gen fic as well.
I'd also like to see more of Verna haunting the Ushers. Did she turn up in their lives just before their deaths? Or did she watch them for longer? In some cases, the Ushers could have escaped their fates by making different choices (e.g. Camille didn't need to enter the lab) but were those the only times they made decisions that brought them closer to their ends? Did she encounter them before that? Make it as ghostly and sinister as you like.
Carmilla - J. Sheridan LeFanu
Carmilla, Laura
For this, I would love to receive romance. Whether you want to make it fluffy, or hurt/comfort, or more angsty, that's up to you. I'd be happy with something set during canon, or post-canon with a Carmilla survives!AU (or even something angsty with the canon ending).
Cthulhu Mythos - HP Lovecraft
Randolph Carter, Nyarlathotep, worldbuilding
Nyarlathotep/Randolph Carter OTP
Okay, so this is where my DNW's become an issue, because this ship is the exact opposite of warm and fluffy. So, if it works for your story, then feel free to include some of the following: gaslighting, self-harm, and dub-con. If you do go this route, though, please remember to warn for them in your tags so that I'm prepared.
If you're here for the 'wordbuilding' tag, I would like to see something exploring Nyarlathotep’s role as messenger between the worlds. What messages does he pass on? Has he ever been injured while delivering a message and if so, how does he recover?
I’d also like to see something about Nyarlathotep’s relationship to the dream worlds and how he views dreamers – does he prey on them often? Does he think of Carter at all after their encounter and Carter’s escape, and if so, what does he think? Does he follow/haunt Carter on his later travels through the universes?
Havemercy - Jaida Jones & Danielle Bennett
Alcibiades, Caius Greylace
I suppose I'm pretty predictable in that I ship the hell out of Alcibiades and Caius, and I'd love absolutely anything about their relationship (whether slash or pre-slash or just the canonical flirting/what-the-fuck-is-this-guy-doing-and-why). If you want to make this a buddy!fic, though, then I fully support that. Either way, something set during or after Shadow Magic would be amazing.
I'd also like to see something where they're already together instead of a get-together fic. Do they keep it a secret or are they fairly open about it? What does Alcibiades think of Caius' very public flirting if they're keeping things quiet - does it become a form of foreplay for them? If they're openly together, then how do they negotiate the homophobia in Thremedon's society?
That's it, that's the letter. If none of these prompts have appealed to you, that's fine! I'm happy to receive anything that doesn't clash with my DNWs.
Thanks again for writing for me!
