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.

Links:

• My exchange tag (letters, recs et cetera)
• AO3 (fics and bookmarks)
• Tumblr

Likes:

• Hurt/comfort! When in doubt, go with h/c: physical, emotional, 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 gets 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.
• Non-con and dub-con front and center in the story (as a piece of backstory or an implied threat it's fine).

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.

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.

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 both fine)
• A/B/O, hurtcomfortverse, any other 'verses with built-in biology-based inequality
• Hanahaki AUs, soulmates AUs and variations thereof
• Mundane AUs
• Non-con and dub-con (threat of non-con or mentioned past dub/non-con is fine, but not as a central theme of the fic)

My dear Yuletide writer, hello! Thank you for loving my little fandoms, and thank you matching for me, and I can't wait to see what you'll create. I'm pretty easy to please, I love tropey, heartfelt and all-out stuff, and I'm earnestly fine with ODAO stories if my DNWs are followed; if our ids don't match or my prompts don't do it for you, go for something you would love to write!

hiraga falls asleep at roberto's apartment.

turning down a job request makes the yorozuya a dangerous enemy - one who will use any means necessary to get gintoki under his control.

alice will make michael proud if it kills her.

“were you ever going to tell me?”

“of course not,” ignis says. there’s no need for explanations: of course not. it’s a horrible thing, the weight of ignis’ love, had always been. the burns are rough and cold under noctis’ fingers.

(au where the conversation in cartanica goes very differently.)

the story of my ignominious descent into ffxv is best left for another time, but here's an attempt to recreate and somehow fix all the devastation this damned game visited on me, with as much high drama as humanly possible. with bonus impalement.

can't wait for the next year to play again.
