Sticky: this journal is friendslocked
.My dear Yulewriter, thank you so much for writing for me! I'm excited to meet you and your story, and I hope my letter will be useful.
My AO3 name is egelantier, my Tumblr is at
egelantier and my various exchange letters are by this tag.
I'm open to treats and love them!
Here are some general likes and dislikes, and an attempt to give a handful of prompts for each fandom. Those are intended to be very loose inspiration - mix and match at will, or discard if you have a different idea that you think will fit better! I like both gen and shipfic, and unless otherwise specified, I'm usually find with pretty much every pairing under the sun, so if you're feeling any of them, include them at will.
I particularly like:
- Hurt/comfort of all kinds! I love it absolutely in my opinion a solid dose of hurt/comfort can improve just about any story. (I'm particular about who is hurt, though.) I like h/c in context of relationship (friendship, romance, fealty, family etc.), with my fave getting hurt and other people rescuing/comforting/witnessing/consoling/helping them. I love iron woobies, but I also love stoic or imperturbable characters being driven to their limit. As for specific subgenres, just about everything (with a slight preference for physical h/c), from imprisonment to whipping to crucifixion to passing out from exhaustion to starvation to torture to isolation to people learning to be loved and to lean on their close ones.
- Loyalty and fealty, from informal to formal (vassal and liege, kings/queens and their knights, nobles and their retainers, etc), with all its trappings from 'I will die for you' to kneeling and ring kissing and whatnot.
- Rebuilding things and communities! People coming together to slowly and painstakingly either create or recreate order and peace out of chaos. Think Pratchett's city books or Mysterious Island or Frostpunk or various building sims.
- Hope and kindness despite adversity.
- Self-sacrifice (metaphorical and quite literal) and martyrdom (ditto).
- Pining (requited or unrequited but actually requited).
- Tropey AUs - space opera! high fantasy! historical! pirates! nomads traveling on winged cat steeds!
- Outsider POVs.
DNWs
- Permanent character death ('they came back' and 'presumed dead' are fine, mentioning canonical character death is fine).
- Unhappy or hopeless endings.
- Partner betrayal of any kind or infidelity.
- Omegaverse, any other 'verses with built-in biology-based inequality.
- Rape/non-con.
- Hanahaki AUs and variations thereof.
- Mundane AUs.
- PWPs.
Rupert Psmith, Mike Jackson
Canon-specific DNW: it can be Psmith/Mike or Psmith&Mike, but please no mention of Psmith or Mike being in a committed heterosexual relationship.
My darling Psmith, so unabashedly weird and so adored by the narrative, and his loyal and kind and steadfast Mike, the man of few words and a well-polished cricket bat, a team made in heaven. I love them, I love that Psmith is an unstoppable force, I love that Mike loves and on some level understand Psmith in his entirety and doesn't want him to change, I love that Psmith is fiercely loyal to Mike and will easily and heroically protect him, I love that Psmith's socialism might be mostly an affectation but his willingness to stick his neck out for people isn't, I love their relationship in whatever form it takes, and I want them to get into all the shenanigans, of all kind. For example:
Canon-specific DNW: cannibalism, sexual slavery or exploitation, mind control (RimWorld is a dangerous place overall and this is more than fine, but I would rather not read about those particular threats).
This game does something to my brain that's probably illegal, in a sense that I played it nonstop for about two years, and will play it nonstop again once I re-fiddle with my thousand mods and run it again. When my little hapless pawns land on this giant, unfamiliar, dangerous, scary world and slowly build their tiny world there, something in me goes brrrrrr. So yeah, my broad prompt is: a colony, coming together amidst all this adversity, ideally while clinging tightly to whatever kindness is available on the Rim. A sole desperate survivor taking in a stranger with paralytic abasia and sharing their dwindling resources, people desperately making it work on the polar ice, going from a tiny village to a thriving megapolis, making connections with other settlements, surviving the skirmishes, searching for the star maps, all that jazz. Queer characters - queer women - are a plus. Pet cats are a plus. Radioactive rain that they have to sit out while their crops are dying outside are a plus. Hail Marys are a plus.
(I'm not super invested in the lore and play on Medieval modset half the time anyway, so don't sweet the details much. You can even let them eat not at the tables and not go berserk immediately, oh no.)
Arthur
Oh, this movie! I'm still crestfallen that we're not going to get a sequel, because it was some perfect intersection of Ritchie's Ritchiness, Arthuriana-adjacent feelings and Shenanigans. And I especially adored Hunnam's Arthur, with his combination of cockiness, competence, humor and vulnerability, his relationship with other characters and his unorthodox approach to management.
I would love to see an exploration of how Arthur deals with his happy endling. Ruling a whole country - and trying to rule it well - is mightily different from running slightly benign mafia, so how is it going to make it work? In the aftermath of Vortigern's rule, with all the neighbors looking over their borders, with the mages just starting to go out of hiding if there are any left but the Mage, with people to feed and wounds to mend and coffers to fill and laws to pass and the knights to keep busy. How would he do it? How many ways would he fail and succeed and fail and succeed again, and how many assassination attempts and harebrained but dangerous scenes will be there on the way?
(Feel free to include any other character and have Arthur be in whatever relationship that you'd like, I'm here for that.)
Lupe dy Cazaril
I'm starting to feel that this year is going to have a theme! So yeah, Lupe dy Cazaril, the retainer turned saint turned courtier, who, having survived all of his trials and tribulations, can now turn to his heart's true passion: building Chalion's roads! Or other things, like sea access, sea ports, diplomatic relationships with other countries, drafting better laws and promises, dealing with inheritance crises, maintaining the balance between various governmental branches, and doing other wonderfully interesting things - while managing (or failing to) his obvious PTSD, his raging case of workaholism, his inevitable spate of assassination attempts and so on. Wars! Attempts on Iselle and Bergon he can heroically prevent at any cost! Famines and droughts! Cazaril is where my love for reading administrivia meets my love for reading whump, and the more you lean into one or another or both, the more I'm going to love you.
Any relationship is fine, any supporting characters are fine (I"m especially partial to see him interacting with Ista, former saint to working saint, but it's by no means necessary).
Maia Drazhar
Canon-specific DNW: Maia and Csethiro can be in a happy marriage, or a happy friendship-under-the-guise-of-political-marriage, or in a happy lavender marriage, but please don't have either of them be made unhappy or trapped by the other.
Maia my beloved overwhelmed teeth-gritting stoic woobie boy, who entered a political intrigue world and made it work through kindness, steadfastness, dealing with people fairly, sticking to his principles and making everybody care about him: yes! I would love - continuing on the theme - to read about his reign way down the road - ten, twenty years later - when he would come into his own and add some earned gravitas to all those qualities, maybe from an outsider's POV, maybe from the point of view of his closest team of people, maybe through the eyes of somebody just coming into the court... It's fascinating to me to see who he will grow into, essentially, and what he'll help Ethuveraz to grow into. Overwork, exhaustion, dangers, assassinations, cultural clashes and diplomatic visits to other countries are a bonus!
Other possible options: Maia and co on the state visit to Barizhan; Maia if Chenelo survived and was with him when the airship crashed; Maia who grew up at court; Maia who ran away from Edonomee and lived some other life until the empire tracked him down; just Maia's everyday palace life at any point during or post-canon.
Any relationships and any supporting characters are welcome.
And that's it! Again, disregard the prompts at will; and thank you; and I'm looking forwards to your words in December ♥
my dearest author, i'm INCREDIBLY SORRY, life got away from me and this letter got away from me too! i imagine you have a story in the works now, based on my prompts, likes and your awesome ideas, and you have my complete blessing and adoration for it in advance. sorry for letting you down! i promise i'm extremely easy to please and happily waiting for my whump.
(if you ARE still waiting on me, give me a nudge through the mods please, and i'll do my best to whip it up? but at this point i'd rather not risk interfering with your process. thank you so much for your patience.)
Dear friend,
I've never done this challenge before, and while I'm hoping to get its spirit correctly, forgive me if something goes wrong. I love those fandoms (I've loved some of them over two decades, hah), I'm incredibly excited about all the opt-in options I picked, and while I'm going to give you some preferences and some likes, at the end of the day I just want the comfort and joy of reading or seeing something done just for me! that hopefully brought you joy to make. I like gen fics, shippy fics, found family fics, you name it. Most of my prompts are written with fic in mind, so if you need to discard or shuffle or remix them or invent something new for any of the medium opt-ins, go for it! Let's have fun.

god, autumn! please be cold, autumn. i'm just about done with this weather.
we've bought a couple of spray painters and started being uncareful at night (spoiler: yes, it's swastika underneath. fckn ultras.)
going to ask psychiatrist №3 on tuesday whether he thinks it's worth tinkering with meds more to resurrect my dead and gone executive function, or if at that point things just Be Like That.
going to sofia on sunday-tuesday to apply for Kot's citizenship, keep your fingers crossed for us. bulgaria has officially prohibited official documents change and transition, which sucks of them, but their chance of fixing it are much more than russia's are, so there's that.
zhelezhnichar's tatiana has invited me to talk to people who're doing a big project in four varna cities providing therapy support to refugees with oncology. they've SUDDENLY realized that they actually lack russian and ukrainian-speaking refugees, and they're scouting for people. cons: if there's a more triggering and miserable work than the intersection of oncology, medical abuse and refugee discrimination for me personally, i don't know it. pros: as i'm doing it anyway, i might as well get paid for it, we've been fucked sideways moneywise for two years running. ah well, they didn't even invite me yet, i'll go talk and see if they want me and if i can cram it in-between my practice.
as it's last day to sign up (i think?), tell me:
yay or nay?
nay! you still owe 10k fic and you haven't been able to write for months and months
0 (0.0%)
yay! maybe having a tangible dealine and several prompts will unlock you and you'll be able to write again
6 (42.9%)
just go back to sleep, oh my god
8 (57.1%)
My dear Yulewriter, hello! Thank you for writing for me, and for loving those fandoms.
I list specific prompts below to give you a sort of starting point, but I'm also sure that there are things that I haven't thought of that I would absolutely love - so if you have ideas you're really passionate about, I'm deeply curious to know what they are, and to read your story. ODAO is fine! Mix, match and invent at will, please, and I'm looking forward to seeing you in December.
I'm also super okay with treats, including treats that use prompts from the last couple of challenges.

( Psmith, Disco Elysium, The Goblin Emperor, Till We Have Faces, Piranesi )
i fall into a proper gaming binge every half a year or so, and then forget that computers games exist altogether. my last bout of addiction was hades, a gorgeous roguelite about trying to get out of the underworld and dealing with family, bigger on the inside than it seemed outside. now i've spent a week headfirst into the beautiful madness of disco elysium, and i'm nowhere close to done. middle of the second playthrough, at least a couple more ahead, maybe three, maybe five - this kind of not closer to be done. finally, almost a decade later, there's a spiritual successor to planescape: torment, perfect, unique and compelling like nothing else. i'm head over heels in love.
(and a note: it's very much a game that can and should be played by non-gamers. it's a true click-and-pointer; the entirety of its action happens through dialogue. give it a try.)
in disco elysium, your character wakes up in an absolutely trashed hotel room, coming off a bender of epic proportions, fucked up beyond recognition, and fully amnesiac. it turns out you're visiting a (very much not) sunny town of revachol, a slowly decaying remnant of revolution and consequent war, and, well. you're a cop, and you're here to investigate a murder. namely, a murder of somebody whose dead body is still hanged in the backyard…
this is a horrendous mess, and you are a horrendous mess - bloated, amnesiac, confused, weird, pathetic, with a host of warring impulses and demands fighting for space in your head - but thankfully there's a pillar of stability and light in your dark world, waiting just downstairs: lieutenant kim katsuragi, your assigned partner from another station, a man with godlike sense of dignity and practically endless amount of quiet patience for your bullshit. together with him, you can investigate a crime, try to stop a small civil war, solve a couple of questions of the universe, and maybe, if you play your cards just once, dance a truly epic dance together in a shot-up church. there are also cryptids, karaoke, board games, collecting bottles for money, a mystery of a crashed police car, discovering your own feelings about the homo-sexual underground, and many, many other things.
(the gameplay: you have four sets of stats (intellect, sensitivity, physicality, interacting with objects) and, depending on how you distribute them, you play a wildly different character every time. there's no way to fail: your detective can be dumb as a bag of rocks but able to get by on intuition and muscle memory, or smart and horrible with people, or empathetic and weak, or - the combinations are endless. the game is conducted via a combination of red stat checks that you can do only once, and white checks that you can try, fail, up your stats and retry again. aside from a handful of cases, a lot of time it's easier - and funnier - to accept failures rather than try for a perfect go every time. you are a hot mess, after all. there are ten game days, a variety of sidequests and tasks, and almost endless variability in how you approach them. everything is connected, except for that one door.)
(there's also a political system, where you eventually pick up your political affiliation: a communist, a libertarian, a fascist, and a wishy-washy uncommitted liberal. the game has a lot of things to tell you about all your choices, most of them funny, some of them horrendous. there's no innocence here, and no way to weasel out of the consequences of your worldview; and you could also see that it was done by eastern europe people.)
and the thing is. the thing is, it's very much the kind of a game where you perform a field autopsy on a three days old corpse while a couple of preteen kids are watching avidly and offering their color commentary, and at some point you have to rummage in the corpse's mouth and feel its brain stem. a lot of very, very bad things happen or happened - to you, to the people around you, to the town around you, to the world around you. where in fallout you rolled into town with your stats jacked high and your blaster in hand, and solved ancient disputes and established peace, here the weight of the history is very, very heavy, and you're very, very small. you can't solve the decades of violence and war and trauma and colonization and poverty with the power of your save-scumming and pithy one liners, alas; but you can solve a murder. you can help a sweet and worried old woman. you can put your cheek to a kid's fuzzy plush toy, when offered. you can tell a person, gently, that their loved one is dead, and lie about how drunk they were when they did that. you can replace a taxidermied bird you broke. you can sit on the swing with your partner, waiting for the low tide, and whistle together - two birds on the wire…
it's the gentlest, kindest, sweetest, most hopeful game i've seen in the last decade. it's a goddamn manifesto to human spirit, and to how only - well, love - holds the world, always falling apart, together. a huge part of it is your relationship with kim, because believe me, whoever you are, most of your playthrough would be dedicated to chasing kim's approval and to winning his trust. but it also sneaks into all the cases, all the dialogues, all the little throwaway details. everybody is human; everybody is awful; everybody is holy, even you. oh, even you.
(there are storylines you can or can not discover. about why harry is such a mess - and it's awful and i loved how it was done, with empathy and grace and no judgement; about the state of the world, a bit of eldritch horror so throwaway and beautiful i would read entire volumes just about that; about the city of locusts; about a small girls' memory of playing in the reeds; about the scar of the revolution. suliram, ram, ram…)
(it's also brilliantly, awfully, absurdly, hysterically funny. Art Cop run alone makes me just about die. every failure is funnier than the other. you can be as weird as you want to - in fact, the game encourages you to be as weird as you want to be - and the world around will react accordingly, outperforming you in sheer absurdity. there's a war-and-peace sized amount of dialogue and description in the game, and it's written by some damn genius of pratchettian caliber.)
and, and and. honestly, the best way to get sucked into this game is not reviews, it's random quotes and screenshots, out -of-context spoilers - it's more or less impossible to resist. but please, oh please, give it a try.
>Someone's been walking around in your dreams lately, looking for something. Tidying up, rearranging. Storing away all the unrealized dreams, putting old pains in boxes. The worst nightmares have settled down for a while. A spot of light on the bedroom door after the dark. The fluttering of eyelids in the spring sun. A thought that arises, only to disappear again. And yet there's a pattern emerging…
What if you didn’t lose your memory? What if something in Martinaise came and stored it all away. For you to slowly open one box at a time. So you can choose which parts to keep. Keep almost none of it. Only the flowers on the windowsill. Only the distant sound of a radio. Lose all the actors, the dark shadows, leave only the still lifes, the blissful distant wash of waves. If everybody knew -- you never did. She’ll be coming soon. That is all.
My dear writer, hello! Thank you for matching to me, and I hope you'll enjoy writing your story. Feel free to mix and match my likes, prompts and ideas for different fandoms, or come up with scenarios I did not come up with, or experimenting; as long as my DNWs are met, I'm completely fine with you going ODAO. I love all the iddy, all-out, unrestrained things, and I can't wait to see what you write.

Dearest author, hello! Thank you so much for picking my fandoms, and enjoying the same tags I do; I'm incredibly excited for this challenge, my favorite of the year, and and those canons, and I want everything.
There are so many tags that I've definitely missed something interesting! I'll try to give some prompts for every fandom, some riffing off the tags and some not. Feel free to mix, match, disregard and ODAO at will, as long as my DNWs are kept. Bring all the tropes to my yard! I can't wait.
Links:
General hurt/comfort preferences: I like my hurt hardcore and physical, and my comfort at least somehow proportional and ending on at least a hopeful note, and I like it in context of any given relationship (i.e. the character getting hurt in sight of / for the sake of / in relation to other characters, and them reacting / rescuing / comforting / rehabilitating them, et cetera, not just the character suffering in the vacuum).
I love reading about the aftermaths of disasters as much as I love reading about disasters itself - the recovery, the backsliding, the acceptance, the assistance. Permanent injuries and consequences yes! Adjusting to the new circumstances yes! New understanding yes! And I especially love all those things in the context of larger-than-life, codependent loyalty (formalized or not), self-sacrifice and self-negation.
In particular, the physical kinks especially dear to my heart: torture, dungeons or cages, and rescue thereof, starvation, exhaustion, hand injuries, whipping, crucifixion, various mobility issues, chronic pain, all variations on accepting injuries for somebody's sake. For the emotional hurt/comfort, all variations on pining (and/or mutual pining!) and characters (mistakenly) thinking that they're either unloved or undeserving of being loved or protected, and being shown they're wrong.
I prefer my woobies competent, BAMF-y and fighting every step of the way, or going into the self-sacrifice determinedly and with their eyes open.
I really love non-mundane AUs (high fantasy, pirates, space opera, et cetera), so go there without hesitation if it's your thing.

I'll be super excited to learn what it is.

Hurt/comfort in all its forms is always a sure bet. Physical h/c, emotional h/c, captivity scenarios, caretaking, whipping, dungeons, bullet wounds, wilderness survival, whatever. I love hurt/comfort within a relationship context (ships or gen: family ties, friendship, comradeship, all is good), as an opening for one character to be hurt and for the other(s) to be outraged/terrified/comforting on their behalf. I am particular about who etss whumped, and will usually indicate so in prompts.
Found families, tight friendships, us-against-the-world, people finding and keeping each other, providing kindness and warmth against the dark.
Hope and kindness, Clair universes, stories where the entropy tries its hardest but doesn't win.
Loyalty in all forms! From ritualized (oaths, kneeling, ring-kissing, knights and bodyguards and henchmen and so on) to more casual ways, like standing up for your friends.
Self-sacrifice (metaphorical and quite literal) and martyrdom (ditto).
Tropey AUs - space opera! high fantasy! historical! pirates!
Outsider POVs.
DNWs:
Hurt no comfort.
Partner betrayal of any kind or infidelity.
Unhappy endings and permanent character death ("presumed dead" and "died but got better" are fine).
A/B/O, hurtcomfortverse, any other 'verses with built-in biology-based inequality.
Hanahaki AUs and variations thereof.
Mundane AUs.
Thank you in advance - and see you in December!

(spot me in the collection! i only wrote on fic, relatively long-ish (for-me). if you'd do and if you'd like, i'll write you a drabble on request :D)
Dear author, welcome! I'm unbelievably excited about this challenge, and I can't wait to see the fic that it brings. I've done my best to prune down the freeform multitude, but I'm 100% sure that there were tags that I have missed, so if there's something in tagset or outside of it that fits my requests or that you particularly like - go for it! Bring all the tropes to my yard, please.
I'll try to give my general likes and some fandom-specific preferences, but feel free to mix and match, or ODAO if nothing in particular strikes your fancy; as long as it doesn't hit my DNWs, I'm good! I'm deeply in love with all those fandoms, and I'll be super, super happy with fic for any of them.

- Non-con and all forms of sexual assault
General hurt/comfort preferences:
I like my hurt hardcore and physical, and my comfort at least somehow proportional and ending on at least a hopeful note, and I like it in context of any given relationship (i.e. the character getting hurt in sight of / for the sake of / in relation to other characters, and them reacting / rescuing / comforting / rehabilitating them, et cetera, not just the character suffering in the vacuum). I love reading about the aftermaths of disasters as much as I love reading about disasters itself - the recovery, the backsliding, the acceptance, the assistance. Permanent injuries and consequences yes! Adjusting to the new circumstances yes! New understanding yes! And I especially love all those things in the context of larger-than-life, codependent loyalty (formalized or not), self-sacrifice and self-negation.
In particular, the physical kinks especially dear to my heart: torture, dungeons or cages, and rescue thereof, starvation, exhaustion, hand injuries, whipping, crucifixion, carious mobility issues, chronic pain, all variations on accepting injuries for somebody's sake. For the emotional hurt/comfort, all variations on pining (and/or mutual pining!) and characters (mistakenly) thinking that they're either unloved or undeserving of being loved or protected, and being shown they're wrong.
I prefer my woobies competent, BAMF-y and fighting every step of the way, or going into the self-sacrifice determinedly and with their eyes open (as probably evident in my character selection; never let it be said that I don't have a type.)
I really love non-mundane AUs (high fantasy, pirates, space opera, et cetera), so go there without hesitation if it's your thing.
Some prompts for my canons - but also feel free to just go off the freeform tags, or mix them together.
