Dear Yuletide Author
Nov. 3rd, 2019 08:07 amDear Yuletide Author,
First, thank you so much for signing up to write a fic for me! I'm excited about each of my requested fandoms, so I'm certain I'm going to love whatever you come up with!
I wanted to start by giving you some general information about my likes and dislikes. I like slow build, banter. I like characters who like each other. Teasing, humour, fluff, smut. I like slice of life fic, character studies, bed sharing, trapped in confined spaces--basically, any romantic cliche you can come up with. I love tropes and trope subversion. Marriage of convenience, pining, soulmates, D/s. I love phone sex and sexting.
I think I'd prefer canon fic, unless stated otherwise in the prompt, BUT if you have an AU idea that really speaks to you, please feel free to run with that! I'd rather you write something you're really excited about than try to stick to my prompts if none of them excite you! So really use anything I say as guidelines (except for my dislikes, please!) As I said above, you really can't go wrong with tropes. I love me a good tropey fic. I am also here for trope inversion, so anything you want to take and spin around on its head, I am also 100% here for that.
As for dislikes, there's not a lot I outright don't like. Please don't make me super sad. I'm okay with some angst, but happy endings, please! I don't like infidelity, watersports, or character death. I'm pretty much up for anything else! I love all the characters I've requested, and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Onto the specifics!
Big Bad Wolf Series - Charlie Adhara
Cooper Dayton, Oliver Park
I would love to see anything with Cooper and Park not at work, maybe Cooper figuring out more about Park's family and challenging what he thought he knew about werewolves.
As I said in my signup I also love their sexual chemistry so if you wanted to do a straight PWP I'd be supr happy with that too! Or anything that explores what their future might be like would be super interesting and enjoyable to me as well. I loved this series so much and will be absolutely thrilled with anything you come up with!
The Bright Sessions
Caleb Michaels, Adam Hayes
Sweet jocks are basically my kyrptonite, so I was destined to love Caleb, but throw in NERD/JOCK shenangians and I was a goner. I have read The Infinite Noise, so if you want to use anything from the book I'm good with that. I haven't listened to The AM Archives, so please nothing that relies on too much knowledge with that source material.
They just announced The College Tapes coming next fall, which I am SO EXCITED FOR. I'd be delighted with anything that explores their relationship in college, given it was such a source of angst for the two of them. I'd love to see them happy and thriving, or figuring how to make their relationship work in a new and challenging setting.
I'm also interested in Caleb continuing to grow and evolve with his powers. How does he handle that being surrounded by people at college? Or if you just wanted to do something like a slice of life, or missing scene from in series, I'd be totally thrilled with that as well. Or figuring out what they like in bed and how Caleb's powers impact that.
I love all the other characters from the podcast, so don't shy away from bringing any of them in, if that floats your boat! Especially Dr. Bright.
Critical Role (Webseries) RPF
Liam O'Brien, Sam Riegel
I love Liam and Sam so much. I'm such a sucker for best friends in love, and these two are absolutely RIFE with possibilities. As I said in the signup, any configuration you want to do for these two would be absolutely wonderful for me. I love a chaotic bisexual, and these two obviously both fit the bill.
Feel free to include any of the other cast members, I love them all dearly and would be happy to see them in the fic as well.
Rocketman (2019) RPF
Taron Egerton, Richard Madden
This is a little less specific than my other prompts, but I really would love anything you could come up with for these guys. If you have an AU you idea you'd like to write for these two, I'd be totally down with that, otherwise as I said in my signup, the two of them figuring out how to work a long distance romance would be a delight. Maybe you through in some epistolary themes! Maybe not! It's totally up to you, I'm excited to read whatever you come up with.
I think that's it for this year. Once again, thank you for signing up to write for one of these fandoms. I'm going to be thrilled with the end result. I can't wait!

Big Bad Wolf Series - Charlie Adhara
Cooper Dayton, Oliver Park
I loved this series so much when I read the first three books earlier this year. Cooper and Park are excellent together both as working and romantic partners. I enjoy their sexual chemistry A LOT, so anything you want to do with that would be A+. I'm also intrigued by what's possibly to come for them going forward. I also love the pack politics we saw in the last book, and would love to read more about that and how Cooper will find a place for himself as Park's partner among his family.
I would love to see anything with Cooper and Park not at work, maybe Cooper figuring out more about Park's family and challenging what he thought he knew about werewolves.
As I said in my signup I also love their sexual chemistry so if you wanted to do a straight PWP I'd be supr happy with that too!

The Bright Sessions
Caleb Michaels, Adam Hayes
Caleb and Adam are so wonderful, and I was immediately in love with them upon listening to the podcast. I'd really like to see something with them post The Bright Sessions, whether it be figuring out how to navigate their relationship or college, or both! I'd also love to read any missing scene or slice of life fic you could come up with. Or something sexy!

Critical Role (Webseries) RPF
Liam O'Brien, Sam Riegel
BEST FRIENDS! WHO ARE IN LOVE! I will literally be so thrilled to get anything with these two. Whether it's them exploring their feelings for each other back when they were in college, or through the show. Is it something they've always known but never acknowledged? Does someone (Liam) only figure out his feelings now? PINING FOR YEARS? Please, I want it all.
I love Liam and Sam so much. I'm such a sucker for best friends in love, and these two are absolutely RIFE with possibilities. As I said in the signup, any configuration you want to do for these two would be absolutely wonderful for me. I love a chaotic bisexual, and these two obviously both fit the bill.

Rocketman (2019) RPF
Taron Egerton, Richard Madden
These two are so freaking hot together. I would love to see anything with them from their time on set, to how they make a relationship work long distance, to just a straight up PWP. I love their dynamic and I would absolutely enjoy anything you come up with.
This is a little less specific than my other prompts, but I really would love anything you could come up with for these guys. If you have an AU you idea you'd like to write for these two, I'd be totally down with that, otherwise as I said in my signup, the two of them figuring out how to work a long distance romance would be a delight.

Onto the specifics!
The Bright Sessions
Caleb Michaels, Adam Hayes
I came into the Bright Sessions, quite late (I think it was around episode 50), so I got to binge through most of it, and I just fell in love with the whole world, and Caleb and Adam in particular. Sweet jocks are basically my kyrptonite, so I was destined to love Caleb, but throw in NERD/JOCK shenangians and I was a goner.
I know Lauren has future plans for Caleb and Adam, but I'd be delighted with anything that explores their relationship in college, given it was such a source of angst for the two of them. I'd love to see them happy and thriving, or dealing with a long distance relationship and all of the challenges therein.
I'm also interested in Caleb continuing to grow and evolve with his powers. How does he handle that being surrounded by people at college? Or if you just wanted to do something like a slice of life, or missing scene from in series, I'd be totally thrilled with that as well.
I love all the other characters from the podcast, so don't shy away from bringing any of them in, if that floats your boat! Especially Dr. Bright.
Kingston Cycle (Witchmark)
Tristan Hunter, Miles Singer
As I said in my intro, I love soulmates! It's definitely one of my favourite tropes, so I was super excited to see it show up in Miles and Tristan's relationship. My only complaint is that we didn't get enough of them!
Anything you want to do with the world building of this universe, I'd be beyond down for. It was so interesting, and I really feel like we didn't get to sink deep enough into it. I think Miles and Tristan would be good candidates for trope inversion, given Miles's history, but really I'd just love to see more of the two of them as they explore their relationship and their bond.
I'd also totally be down for a modern AU with these two, if that interests you!
Heartstopper
Charlie Spring, Nick Nelson
I love Heartstopper, and I love Nick and Charlie so much. If you don't follow the webcomic, dear Yuletide Author, I definitely encourage you to check it out! It's very cute and sweet, and it doesn't take long to get through the whole thing, which you can find here
What I love most about Hearstopper is how every time I think there might be drama or that something will go wrong for Nick and Charlie instead it's soft and everything is okay!!! The future liberals want.
As I said in my sign up, I'd love to see more of them figuring out their relationship now that Nick's ready to start coming out. Whether that means current or future fic, I'll leave totally up to you! I loved the one future snippet Alice shared with us, so if you wanted to do more with Charlie and Nick in university, or even later, I'm absolutely into it!
I'll Give You the Sun
Noah Sweetwine, Brian Connelly
Nerd/Jock relationships are a particular favourite of mine, as evidenced by this entire sign up request. I really loved I'll Give You the Sun, and I loved Noah and Brian a lot. I'd love to see them working out their relationship, moving on from Noah's outing of Brian, and figuring out how they can be together. I'd really prefer future fic for them, but if you have idea for something you'd like to write during the book canon, definitely go for it!
Salt Magic Skin Magic
John Blake, Soren Thornby
This world was so interesting! I really felt like I didn't get to see enough of it, so if worldbuilding is your jam please feel free to go wild! Also, as is a recurring request in this sign up, if you just wanted to do something with the two of them being togehter, I'd be totally thrilled with that as well. I think a modern au could also be really interesting with these two, if that interests you.
Alright, I think I have rambled long enough, so I'll just say thank you one more time, and that I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

The Bright Sessions
Caleb Michaels, Adam Hayes
I fell in love with Caleb from his first appearance on the podcast, and was delighted when what I thought was cute gay subtext turned out to be cute gay actual text. I'll be delighted with anything you want to do with the two of them, from a missing scene, to future fic. I JUST LOVE AND MISS THEM!
I came into the Bright Sessions, quite late (I think it was around episode 50), so I got to binge through most of it, and I just fell in love with the whole world, and Caleb and Adam in particular.

Kingston Cycle (Witchmark)
Tristan Hunter, Miles Singer
This was one of my favourite books of 2018. I was completely sucked into both the world building, the characters, and the relationship. I'd love to see more of Tristan and Miles's relationship post book. SOULMATES! Witchy soulmates!
As I said in my intro, I love soulmates! It's definitely one of my favourite tropes, so I was super excited to see it show up in Miles and Tristan's relationship. My only complaint is that we didn't get enough of them!

Heartstopper
Charlie Spring, Nick Nelson
Heartstopper is a highlight of my day any time we get a new installment. I'd love to see more of Nick and Charlie's relationship, especially now as they start to explore being out to other people. Slice of life, missing scenes, fluff, smut, whatever speaks to you, I'm sure I'll enjoy it immensely!
I love Heartstopper, and I love Nick and Charlie so much. If you don't follow the webcomic, dear Yuletide Author, I definitely encourage you to check it out! It's very cute and sweet, and it doesn't take long to get through the whole thing, which you can find here

I'll Give You the Sun
Noah Sweetwine, Brian Connelly
This is one of my favourite books, I just love everything about it, especially Noah and Brian and their sweet and fraught relationship. I'd really love to see more of Noan and Brian post book, working out how to be together. Jock Brian and his sweet tall artist boyfriend is everything I want!
Nerd/Jock relationships are a particular favourite of mine, as evidenced by this entire sign up request. I really loved I'll Give You the Sun, and I loved Noah and Brian a lot. I'd love to see them working out their relationship, moving on from Noah's outing of Brian, and figuring out how they can be together. I'd really prefer future fic for them, but if you have idea for something you'd like to write during the book canon, definitely go for it!
Salt Magic Skin Magic
John Blake, Soren Thornby
Another favourite 2018 read! The world was SO FASCINATING, and I of course loved John and Soren's relationship. I'm particularly curious about John's magic, so anything you wanted to explore along those lines, I'd be thrilled to read it! I'd also be interested in Soren exploring his selkie heritage, or anything that combines the two!
This world was so interesting! I really felt like I didn't get to see enough of it, so if worldbuilding is your jam please feel free to go wild! Also, as is a recurring request in this sign up, if you just wanted to do something with the two of them being togehter, I'd be totally thrilled with that as well. I think a modern au could also be really interesting with these two, if that interests you.
Alright, I think I have rambled long enough, so I'll just say thank you one more time, and that I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Hockey Holidays Exchange Letter
Oct. 29th, 2017 06:12 pmDear Hockey Holiday Exchange Author,
First of all, I apologize that this is a little late. Hope it wasn't too stressful and that there was enough details in my signup to help you start thinking. Thank you so much for singing up for one of my pairings! I'm so excited to see what you write, and I'm certain I will love whatever you come up with.
First, some general information about my likes and dislikes. I like slow build, banter. I like characters who like each other. Teasing, humour, fluff, smut. I like slice of life fic, character studies, bed sharing, trapped in confined spaces--basically, any romantic cliche you can come up with. I love tropes and trope subversion. Marriage of convenience, pining, soulmates, D/s. I love phone sex and sexting.
As for dislikes, there's not a lot I outright don't like. Please don't make me super sad. I'm okay with some angst, but happy endings, please! I don't like infidelity, watersports, or character death. I'm pretty much up for anything else! I love all the characters I've requested, and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
I'm happy with AU or canon fic for all pairings. All the pining is amazing. I love any an all AUs. I love them trying to figure out their relationship in the NHL (long distance for Mitch and Dylan), I love them being dumb about their feelings and figuring out how they feel about each other.
As I said above, you really can't go wrong with tropes. I love me a good tropey fic. I am also here for trope inversion, so anything you want to take and spin around on its head, I am also 100% here for that. I am a fan of soulmates as I said above (it's a particular fav), but if you just want to write a good old fashion canon fic, I am here for dumb hockey boys being dumb hockey boys in love.
Pairing specific thoughts:
Mitch Marner/Dylan Strome
I love these two so much. Real life enemies to friends (to lovers)!!! Whether you want to go au or deal with something in canon, I will be thrilled.
If you want to go the au route: the two of them in university. Or soulmates! Love me a good soulmate au.
If you want to stick to real life, I'd love something that deals with the two of them in the present or in the future. I think a lot has already been written about their OHL careers, so if you wanted to explore a long distance relationship, or how they deal with Dylan being in the AHL and Mitch being in the NHL I'd be super super into that. Or something down the line. A break up/make up scenario or a continued hook up that turns more serious under the right circumstances.
My only ask is: please no sadness porn about Dylan. I know he's been through a lot of disappointments, but I think he's on the upswing and I'd rather read more of that than wallowing on the things that didn't happen. Not to say you can't have angst or not mention it! Just don't have it as the main focus, would be my ask.
I love Mitch and Dylan so much, they are a particular OTP of mine. I will be very very thrilled with any fic for them, so if none of my ideas strike your fancy, please don't feel constrained to just that (that goes for all pairings!)
I'd love to see the two of them working out their relationship either in the present or the future. How do they work the long distance? Or if they can't figure out long distance as young idiots, how do they make it work down the line? As I said above, my only real ask is not to wallow in angst for Dylan. Not to say there can't be any angst!! These two are ripe for pining fic, but I would just rather not see him presented as some kind of tragic figure, when I personally feel like he's doing really well and will continue to do so!
Tyson Barrie/Gabriel Landeskog
These two are too much, and there isn't enough fic about them by far.
Pretty much anything you want to do with them I'll be over the moon. The aftermath of the Valentine's video? The game show thing the Avs just did with EJ? Coffeeshop au? Suddenly realise they're soulmates? (I love soulmates). Go wild.
I'll be honest, I'm really only starting to get into these two, so really anything you write will be wonderful. Plus, there really isn't enough fic of them so you'll not only be giving me a present but you'll be doing the world a favour.
I'd love to see something from Gabe's POV, if that floats your boat. And pining! these two are perfect for pining.
Beau Bennett/Robert Bortuzzo
REUNION FIC. Were they together on the penguins and then had to break up because of long distance? Did they never get together but something was always there? did they only realise their feelings after the trade and pine endlessly? I MUST KNOW.
I MUST KNOW!!! Oooh, or maybe some kind of epistolary fic? I'd be a fan. If that's not your jam, any kind of au that deals with the two of them being dumb and in love will just be wonderful. Remember that time they went to Target or whatever and bought all those pillows. Delightful.
So yeah, those are just some ideas! Again sorry for posting this late, but please don't feel obligated to go with anything I've said here. If you have some idea that's really calling to you, follow your heart! I'm sure I will love it.
Thanks again! Can't wait to see what you come up with!! :D

I'd love to see something from Gabe's POV, if that floats your boat. And pining! these two are perfect for pining.
Beau Bennett/Robert Bortuzzo
REUNION FIC. Were they together on the penguins and then had to break up because of long distance? Did they never get together but something was always there? did they only realise their feelings after the trade and pine endlessly? I MUST KNOW.
I MUST KNOW!!! Oooh, or maybe some kind of epistolary fic? I'd be a fan. If that's not your jam, any kind of au that deals with the two of them being dumb and in love will just be wonderful. Remember that time they went to Target or whatever and bought all those pillows. Delightful.
So yeah, those are just some ideas! Again sorry for posting this late, but please don't feel obligated to go with anything I've said here. If you have some idea that's really calling to you, follow your heart! I'm sure I will love it.
Thanks again! Can't wait to see what you come up with!! :D
Dear Yuletide Author
Oct. 7th, 2017 10:25 amDear Yuletide Author,
Thank you so much for singing up to write one of these fandoms! I'm so excited to see what you write, and I'm certain I will love whatever you come up with.
First, some general information about my likes and dislikes. I like slow build, banter. I like characters who like each other. Teasing, humour, fluff, smut. I like slice of life fic, character studies, bed sharing, trapped in confined spaces--basically, any romantic cliche you can come up with. I love tropes and trope subversion. Marriage of convenience, pining, soulmates, D/s. I love phone sex and sexting.
As for dislikes, there's not a lot I outright don't like. Please don't make me super sad on Christmas. I'm okay with some angst, but happy endings, please! I don't like infidelity, watersports, or character death. I'm pretty much up for anything else! I love all the characters I've requested, and the ones I didn't, so please don't bash them.
Bend or Break Series - Amy Jo Cousins
Stephany Tyler, Charles "Cash" Carmichael
I couldn't believe it. All that talk about pegging and Cash taking it and then THEY NEVER EVEN DID IT ON SCREEN. What a ripoff! So basically, anything you want to do with that will send me over the moon. I really loved their relationship, I am such a sucker for jocks with a heart of gold, and from the first book in the series I was sold on these two.
If you're not into the pegging thing, anything exploring Cash's bisexuality (because let's be real here), or even just the two of them figuring out their relationship would be awesome.
I love all the characters from this series, so if you wanted to introduce any other crossover I'm totally down with that. I also nominated Sean and Austin, so if those two inspire you, I'd be down with a story about them as well (and if you haven't read their novella I totally recommend it!
In a Heartbeat (Short Film)
Sherwin, Jonathan
Okay, so if you haven't watched this, you absolutely should take a five minute break from reading my letter and go watch it here. In fact, even if you've already watched it, you should go watch it again. This can wait.
Okay, you're back? Excellent. IT'S JUST SO CUTE. I don't know how I feel such a range of emotions over the course of 4 minutes BUT I DO. I REALLY DO. Anyway, I kinda said everything above so really whatever you want to do with this prompt is really great.
You Could Make a Life Series - Taylor Fitzpatrick
David Chapman, Jake Lourdes
I love these two so much. I can't believe we got to watch David Chapman learn all the names of his emotions and how to share them with other people!!! He becomes a real boy and I'm so glad.
Lately, Taylor's been killing me with the sad Jake feels, so maybe... less of that. OR if you want to explore some of how Jake was feeling (because let's be real here, David was a huge asshole a lot of the time), please please just make it end happy. I do love Jake so much, remember what I said above about jocks with a heart of gold? YES. I just love him, so if you wanted to do something more Jake centric I am on board with that!
Anything you want to explore with their future, be it sort of "current day" or post retirement, I'm into that as well.
Long Exposure (Webcomic)
Jonas Wagner, Mitch Mueller
So this was a last minute addition to my requests, and there's a lot we still really don't know about these two and the direction the story and their powers are going to take. If you wanted to explore some of that, I'm way into it. If you want to do something a bit more slice of life, with the two of them going on a date or just hanging out, I'm into that. If you wanted to write some good ol' fashion fucking I'm WAY into it. The "just the tip" idea came to me when I was driving home from work the other day and it's what made me add this to my requests, SO.
OKAY SO THOSE ARE MY REQUESTS. As I said above, I know I'm going to love whatever you write, and just thank you again for writing me a story. Can't wait!

Bend or Break Series - Amy Jo Cousins
Stephany Tyler, Charles "Cash" Carmichael
I can't believe this series teased pegging as much as it did and then never delivered on screen. I feel incredibly cheated and betrayed, honestly.
I'm also really into the idea of Cash and Steph having a standing booty type arrangement with Varun whenever they're in the same place, so if you wanted to explore that dynamic, whether it be purely friends with benefits, to something merging more on poly, I'm totally down for that!
If neither of these options strike you, or are too explicit, by all means anything with them just being domestic and happy together would be a wonderful start to my Christmas as well :)

Sherwin, Jonathan
This short is so cute! I was immediately in love.
I feel like the great thing about this short (aside from how adorable it is), is how wide open it is for writing. I don't particularly have specific prompts for this source material. Want to do something with the worldbuilding? With Jonathan and Sherwin as kids, or down the road? Go for it!
I'd be interesting in seeing anything that expands on this adorable story, really. Does everyone's heart run away from them from time to time? Is this a world were people literally wear the hearts on their sleeves? Do Jonathan and Sherwin get along once they get to know each other or is their relationship more rocky? You tell me!
Okay, so if you haven't watched this, you absolutely should take a five minute break from reading my letter and go watch it here. In fact, even if you've already watched it, you should go watch it again. This can wait.

David Chapman, Jake Lourdes
JAKE! DAVID!! MY BOYS!!!!
I love these two so much, I will be absolutely thrilled to get anything for them. If you want to do something as a deleted scene or look to their future, either way I AM DOWN. My only ask if that if you do something in the timeline that it's not too angsty, because I am a delicate, delicate flower (like David).
I love these two so much. I can't believe we got to watch David Chapman learn all the names of his emotions and how to share them with other people!!! He becomes a real boy and I'm so glad.

Long Exposure (Webcomic)
Jonas Wagner, Mitch Mueller
There's not a whole lot of canon for these two yet, but I'm already super enamoured with them. So pretty much anything you want to do from G rated (just hanging out and getting to know each other!) to explicit I'm super down with it.
(If, uh, you do want to go the explicit route, these two are PERFECT candidates for just the tip fic, I am SAYING.)
So this was a last minute addition to my requests, and there's a lot we still really don't know about these two and the direction the story and their powers are going to take. If you wanted to explore some of that, I'm way into it. If you want to do something a bit more slice of life, with the two of them going on a date or just hanging out, I'm into that.

Dear Hockey Holiday Exchange Author
Oct. 28th, 2016 09:46 pmDear Hockey Holiday Exchange Author,
Thank you so much for singing up for one of my pairings! I'm so excited to see what you write, and I'm certain I will love whatever you come up with.
First, some general information about my likes and dislikes. I like slow build, banter. I like characters who like each other. Teasing, humour, fluff, smut. I like slice of life fic, character studies, bed sharing, trapped in confined spaces--basically, any romantic cliche you can come up with. I love tropes and trope subversion. Marriage of convenience, pining, soulmates, D/s. I love phone sex and sexting.
As for dislikes, there's not a lot I outright don't like. Please don't make me super sad on Christmas. I'm okay with some angst, but happy endings, please! I don't like infidelity, watersports, or character death. I'm pretty much up for anything else! I love all the characters I've requested, and the ones I didn't, so please don't bash them.
I'm happy with AU or canon fic for all pairings. All the pining for Mitch/Dylan and Alex/Brendan is amazing. I love any an all AUs. I love them trying to figure out their relationship in the NHL (long distance for Mitch and Dylan), I love them being dumb about their feelings and figuring out how they feel about each other. I'm desperate for Max/Duke fic. DO THEY KNOW THEY'RE IN LOVE? I'm concerned they don't know they are in love. I know I said I liked pining but THESE TWO ARE REALLY SOFT, PLEASE BE GENTLE.
As I said above, you really can't go wrong with tropes. I love me a good tropey fic. I am also here for trope inversion, so anything you want to take and spin around on its head, I am also 100% here for that. I am here for always a girl fic, if that's your thing. I am a fan of soulmates as I said above (it's a particular fav), but if you just want to write a good old fashion canon fic, I am here for dumb hockey boys being dumb hockey boys in love.
Pairing specific thoughts:
Mitch Marner/Dylan Strome
- future fic, making it work in the NHL. I also imagine them being in love for years and never really acting on it because what are they supposed to do being so far away? So it's just kinda understood that they love each other but nothing can happen with it... until it does
- established relationship, being super gross and solid and domestic
- tiny magical witch, Mitch Marner
Max Domi/Anthony Duclair
- arranged marriage (!!!) or regency au
- magic au or any kind of urban fantasy
- established relationship, really soft domestic fic
Alex Galchenyuk/Brendan Gallagher
- I have a yearning for a king and lionheart AU for these two. Anything with royalty/knights, etc. Is my jam.
- CUTTING EDGE AU. Washed up hockey star Brendan Gallagher and prim and proper figure skater Alex Galchenyuk
- sexting the wrong person and leading to accidental phone sex helLO
If none of these prompts inspire you, please feel free to stretch your wings in whatever manner you see fit. Telepathically bonded! Rivals to lovers! Any kind of canon fic you like! I can't wait to see what you you come up with!!! ANYWAY you can tell I am excited, and waiting for fic with bated breath. Thank you once again for agreeing to write for me!!
Looking forward to reveals,
torigates

Dear Yuletide Author
Oct. 8th, 2016 10:01 pmDear Yuletide Author,
Thank you so much for singing up for one of my fandoms! I'm so excited to see what you write.
First, some general information about my likes and dislikes. I picked three fandoms I'm really excited about this year, so I know I'll be thrilled to get any fic you write with these characters. I like slow build, banter. I like characters who like each other. Teasing, humour, fluff, smut. I like slice of life fic, character studies, bed sharing, trapped in confined spaces--basically, any romantic cliche you can come up with. While I'm normally a big AU fan, for the purpose of these fandoms, I'd really rather prefer in universe fic.
As for dislikes, there's not a lot I outright don't like. Please don't make me super sad on Christmas. I'm okay with some angst, but happy endings, please! I love all the characters I've requested, and the ones I didn't, so please don't bash them.
Brooklyn (2015), Eilis Lacey, Tony Fiorello
I saw this film in theatres with my mom, and I kinda knew it was going to fuck me up, but boy did it fuck me up. I immediately fell for Eilis and Tony, Tony was just so sweet and kind and eager, and he liked Eilis so much. I'd like to see more of them building a life together, so any kind of domestic fic with them figuring things out and making it work would be amazing. If you wanted to explore Eilis's emotions towards Tony more I would be interested in that. She's so much more muted with her feelings and expressions, it would be great to see if and how she finds herself catching up to Tony's regard, if she ever becomes comfortable expressing herself in the exuberant way, or if she stays reserved. Does Tony get that, or does it bother him?
Really, anything you wanted to write about regarding their relationship would be so wonderful and loved. I'm familiar with both the book and the movie so pulling from either one is fine too.
Cainsville - Kelley Armstrong, Olivia Taylor-Jones, Ricky Gallagher, Gabriel Walsh
The closer this series draws to an end, the more I want a romantic poly endgame for these three. The books are just set up perfectly for it, and I need it desperately. Any aspect of the triad that you wanted to explore would be wonderful. Romance wise I prefer poly (whether a true triad or poly-v), or Gabriel/Olivia. If you wanted to explore Gabriel and Ricky's relationship I would love that as well. An individual character study would also be something I would enjoy, or even a case-type fic with the three of them working together. I just love these three, and they love each other in so many different and fascinating ways. Anything you want to do with that or explore I guarantee I will love.
Society of Gentlemen - KJ Charles, Julius Norreys, Harry Vane, Francis Webster, Gabriel Ashleigh
I just devoured these books so quickly, I loved them so much. As I said in my signup I'd be thrilled with a fic that focused on either Harry/Julius or Gabriel/Francis, don't feel as though you have to incorporate both by any means (of course, if you want to...)
For Harry/Julius, I'd really love to see something with the two of them as a more established/settled couple. Obviously, their relationship is really fraught with outside drama at the beginning, so seeing them together with less high stakes would be great. How do they settle into their relationship? What comes next for them? I really liked their dynamic, the difference between the way they were in company vs in private. Julius especially really fascinated me as this kind of intense dandy that shouldn't be fucked with (the moment in Silas and Dom's book where he's like "I won't let anyone hurt Harry" really stood out to me). How do they navigate society and their relationship together?
Obviously Francis and Gabriel's novella was extremely hot, but it was so short it left me wanting so much more! Their shared history makes it seem impossible that they'd be able to come together but they're both so drawn to each other and I'm so interested in just seeing really ANY glimpse of what their relationship is like. Francis is so serious and Gabriel is seemingly so lighthearted, but they fit together and I love that.
So that's that! Like I said, I'm really thrilled about all of these fandoms, and I look forward to reading whatever you may come up with! Thank you in advance for writing my story, I am sure I'm going to love it!

Brooklyn (2015), Eilis Lacey, Tony Fiorello
Post movie fic is my dream. I just want all the domestic fic about them moving to Long Island together and making it work.
I saw this film in theatres with my mom, and I kinda knew it was going to fuck me up, but boy did it fuck me up. I immediately fell for Eilis and Tony, Tony was just so sweet and kind and eager, and he liked Eilis so much. I'd like to see more of them building a life together, so any kind of domestic fic with them figuring things out and making it work would be amazing.

Cainsville - Kelley Armstrong, Olivia Taylor-Jones, Ricky Gallagher, Gabriel Walsh
POLY FIC. Please, poly fic. Either romantic or platonic. Romantic Olivia/Gabriel, or endgame romantic poly.
The closer this series draws to an end, the more I want a romantic poly endgame for these three. The books are just set up perfectly for it, and I need it desperately. Any aspect of the triad that you wanted to explore would be wonderful. Romance wise I prefer poly (whether a true triad or poly-v), or Gabriel/Olivia.

I just love these three, and they love each other in so many different and fascinating ways. Anything you want to do with that or explore I guarantee I will love.
Society of Gentlemen - KJ Charles, Julius Norreys, Harry Vane, Francis Webster, Gabriel Ashleigh
This is really an either/or prompt - Harry/Julius or Gabriel/Francis. If you wanted to work both couples into one fic that would be amazing, but I would be just as happy with a fic focusing on one pairing.
I just devoured these books so quickly, I loved them so much. As I said in my signup I'd be thrilled with a fic that focused on either Harry/Julius or Gabriel/Francis, don't feel as though you have to incorporate both by any means (of course, if you want to...)

Poly Hockey Exchange Dear Author Letter
May. 28th, 2016 08:00 pmDear Poly Author!
Thank you so much for signing up to write one of these pairigs! I'm really excited about getting any fic for them, so I'm sure I will absolutely love whatever you come up with!!
Generally speaking I'm good with true poly, or poly-v for each of these groups. AU or canon is also fine. I tend to like canon divergence AUs a lot. What if they were supernatural creatures who played in the NHL! What if soulbonds! etc. etc. I love pining, and miscommunication, bikering, D/s, soulbonds (I know I said this already but it's a favourite), arranged marriage or marriage of convienence, etc. etc.
I like when one character (or characters) are seemingly less invested until ~dramatic reveals, I have a soft spot for pining and characters being insecure--and then reassured! Angst is okay, but please give me a happy ending. Don't kill anyone, and don't give me watersports, and I'm probably gonna be super pumped.
My individual requests are below, please feel free to take the prompts as guidelines, or to disregard them entirely! Like I said above, I'm going to be thrilled with whatever fic you end up writing me!
Alex Galchenyuk/Brendan Gallagher/Nail Yakupov
Alex and Nail have a platonic soulbond that everyone assumes is romantic. Gally knows he never has a chance with Brendan because how do you compete with someone's soulmate? You don't, that's how! Miscommunication and pining ahoy. Or maybe Alex and Nail's bond IS romantic! Maybe it becomes romantic!
I think anything with Gally and Nail loving Alex and trying to make a relationship work, either as true poly or a poly-v would be super super enjoyable. Gally and Nail getting to know each other through Alex and developping their own relationship! Navigating long distance with one of them apart and the other two together! Being dumb boys in love! Any and all are great!
Aaron Ekblad/Megan Mitchell/Willie Mitchell
I am desperate for fic for these three. I love them so much and there is so little of it. Aaron Ekblad: nerotic and stressed out lost baby is kind of my jam. I'd love anything exploring their relationship now that Aaron has moved out of the house, and how that affects their relationship. Navigating Aaron's second year in the NHL.
Maybe Willie and Meg never moved on their feelings while he was living with them because that would be INAPPROPRIATE! but he's out on his own now and they miss him like super crazy. Or future fic maybe after Willie is retired and figuring out their relationship. How does Aaron navigate coming into a relationship with SO MUCH history? How can he ever live up to that?
If you're going to go poly-v for this one I'd prefer Willie/Aaron and Willie/Meg, please.
Angela Price/Carey Price/P. K. Subban
PK moves in at the start of the season to help Carey and Angela with their new baby... and then just never leaves. He's been putting on a good show this offseason to prove to Carey and Angela how good he is with kids!
If kidfic isn't your thing, really anything with these three would be super. Angela and Carey being equally charmed and enamoured with PK and trying to woo him to be their third! Carey developping feelings for PK, but not knowing how to act on them without hurting Angela, and the two of them working through it and coming up with a plan to make it work (now they only have to convince PK). PK going to visit Carey in BC over the summer and just having ALL HIS FEELINGS come out to the surface.
Again, really anything you want to write and are excited to write about is going to be something I love to read. Thank you so much in advance, I can't wait!

I am desperate for fic for these three. I love them so much and there is so little of it. Aaron Ekblad: nerotic and stressed out lost baby is kind of my jam. I'd love anything exploring their relationship now that Aaron has moved out of the house, and how that affects their relationship. Navigating Aaron's second year in the NHL.
Maybe Willie and Meg never moved on their feelings while he was living with them because that would be INAPPROPRIATE! but he's out on his own now and they miss him like super crazy. Or future fic maybe after Willie is retired and figuring out their relationship. How does Aaron navigate coming into a relationship with SO MUCH history? How can he ever live up to that?
If you're going to go poly-v for this one I'd prefer Willie/Aaron and Willie/Meg, please.
Angela Price/Carey Price/P. K. Subban
PK moves in at the start of the season to help Carey and Angela with their new baby... and then just never leaves. He's been putting on a good show this offseason to prove to Carey and Angela how good he is with kids!
If kidfic isn't your thing, really anything with these three would be super. Angela and Carey being equally charmed and enamoured with PK and trying to woo him to be their third! Carey developping feelings for PK, but not knowing how to act on them without hurting Angela, and the two of them working through it and coming up with a plan to make it work (now they only have to convince PK). PK going to visit Carey in BC over the summer and just having ALL HIS FEELINGS come out to the surface.
Again, really anything you want to write and are excited to write about is going to be something I love to read. Thank you so much in advance, I can't wait!

Hockey Exchange Letter
Feb. 21st, 2016 10:20 pmDear Hockey Exchange Writer,
First of all, thank you for signing up to write one of these pairings. I'm already so excited to see what you'll come up with, and I'm sure I will love whatever it is!
From my signup:
As I said above, you really can't go wrong with tropes. I love me a good tropey fic. I am also here for trope inversion, so anything you want to take and spin around on its head, I am also 100% here for that. I am here for always a girl fic, if that's your thing. I am a fan of A/B/O, soulmates as I said above (it's a particular fav), but if you just want to write a good old fashion canon fic, I am here for dumb hockey boys being dumb hockey boys.
Pairing specific thoughts:
Alex Galchenyuk/Brendan Gallagher
My two dummies. I love everything about them. I have a soft spot for insecure Brendan Gallagher, so a character study exploring that would hit my id delightfully.
- I have a yearning for a king and lionheart AU for these two. Anything with royalty/knights, etc. Is my jam.
- ALL STAR VACATION FIC. Banging will on vacation and then having to face the reality of hooking up when back in Montreal
- CUTTING EDGE AU. Washed up hockey star Brendan Gallagher and prim and proper figure skater Alex Galchenyuk
- THIS NONSENSE - honestly anything you want to do with that, but sexting the wrong person and leading to accidental phone sex helLO
Mitch Marner/Dylan Strome
My other two dummies (I have so many dummies and I love them all equally).
- future fic, making it work in the NHL. I also imagine them being in love for years and never really acting on it because what are they supposed to do being so far away? So it's just kinda understood that they love each other but nothing can happen with it... until it does.
- telepathically bonded...IN SPACE!
- Regency AU. That Pride and Prejudice feeling
- any and all rivals to lovers
Willie Mitchell/Aaron Ekblad
THERE IS SO LITTLE FIC ABOUT THESE TWO I WILL LITERALLY LOVE ANYTHING. Aaron Ekblad is such a beautiful dummy (you're sensing a theme right about now) and I love him so much. I am also more than happy if you want to include Megan. I am all about the polyamory for these guys. I am also fine if you don't want to include her, so no pressure! But as I said above, please no infidelity so just write her out if that's the case.
I have less specific prompts for this pairing because there's so little fic I'm so desperate for anything. I'd love anything exploring their relationship now that Aaron has moved out of the house, and how that affects their relationship. Or future fic maybe after Willie is retired and figuring out their relationship.
Any of the above prompts for the other two pairings can also be applied to Ekblad/Mitchell if you want. TELEPATHY IN SPACE!!! Regency AU. Ooooh, arranged marriage fic!!! Please. Anything.
ANYWAY you can tell I am excited, and waiting for fic with bated breath. Thank you once again for agreeing to write for me!!
Looking forward to reveals,
torigates
First of all, thank you for signing up to write one of these pairings. I'm already so excited to see what you'll come up with, and I'm sure I will love whatever it is!
From my signup:
Likes:
- Tropes, tropes, tropes
- bed sharing
- secret/pretend dating
- marriage of convenience
- banter
- pining
- soulmates
I'm happy with AU or canon fic for all pairings, although if I had a preference I think I'd prefer canon for Aaron/Willie. Also for them, I'm fine if you want to bring Megan into it and do some poly! I'm also fine if you don't, but if that's the case, I'd prefer she not be around at all. Please no infidelity.
For the Gallys and Dylan/Mitch I'll be thrilled with honestly anything. I have a lot of feelings about Mitch and Brendan, tiny hockey players just trying to make it in the world. All the pining for these two relationships is amazing. I love any an all AUs. I love them trying to figure out their relationship in the NHL (long distance for Mitch and Dylan), I love them being dumb about their feelings and figuring out how they feel about each other. Really, truly, anything will be amazing and great.
Dislikes:
- not much. Like, no watersports, please. Infidelity, and character death are also a no go. Please don't give me a sad ending. Otherwise I'm sure I will love anything.
