free to dissolve in streaming in summer

Dear Chocolatier, thank you so much for writing for me! I hope you'll find something you like in my prompts; those are fandoms close and dear to my heart, so feel free to mix and match! As long as you avoid my DNWs, I'm good.

Things I like:
- Hurt/comfort in all its forms is always a sure bet. All the hurt/comfort, you can't do wrong (or be too hardcore) with it. Physical h/c, emotional h/c, captivity scenarios, caretaking, whipping, dungeons, bullet wounds, wilderness survival, whatever. I love hurt/comfort mostly within the context of a relationship (not necessarily romantic - filial ties, friendship, brothers-in-arms comradeship, whichever fits), as an opening for one character to be hurt and for the other to be outraged/terrified/comforting on their behalf. The only thing I'm particular about is who in a particular gets whumped.
- 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
- A/B/O, hurtcomfortverse, any other 'verses with built-in biology-based inequality
- Hanahaki AUs and variations thereof
- Soulmate AUs
- Mundane AUs
- PWPs

Dear author, welcome! Thank you so much for matching on those fandoms of my heart, and I hope you're going to enjoy writing for them. As always - feel free to mix and match the prompts or go ODAO if needed, as long as you meet my DNWs, and hopefully have fun.

バチカン奇跡調査官 | Vatican Kiseki Chousakan | Vatican Miracle Examiner (Anime)
Roberto Nicholas, Hiraga Josef Kou
Action/Adventure, Angst, AU - Canon Divergence, AU - Genre Shift, Character Development, Established Relationship, Hurt/Comfort, Interpersonal Drama, scifi/fantasy

VME continues to be my delight and joy; I'm reusing my previous requests because they already netted me some great fics and I want more. So; VME being sparkly, completely ridiculous, somehow deadly serious despite being completely ridiculous, and full of gorgeous, warm, feelings-filled devotion between Roberto and Hiraga, and I loved each of its weird and wonderful story beats. It's also hella whiplashy in tone, and I guess my prompts will reflect that. In general: bring on candlelit dinners, creepy and twisted cases, true and false miracles, Roberto whump, pining, science, tears and hugs.

In particular:

The Goblin Emperor - Katherine Addison
Maia Drazhar (TGE)
Action/Adventure, Angst, AU - Canon Divergence, AU - Genre Shift, Character Development, Established Relationship, Hurt/Comfort, Interpersonal Drama, scifi/fantasy

I absolutely adore this book, a story of a previously powerless, painfully self-conscious, horribly isolated person doing his utmost and careful best to do what he has to do. Maia's, at his core, first and foremost kind, and he brings this kindness with him as a banner and as a shield, into a situation over which he has little control and in which he has initially no allies, and sets out to reclaim his empire, one person at a time.

Some prompts that come to mind (but by no means feel constrained by them):

Psmith - P. G. Wodehouse
Group: Mike Jackson/Rupert Psmith
Action/Adventure, Angst, AU - Canon Divergence, AU - Genre Shift, Character Development, Established Relationship, Hurt/Comfort, Interpersonal Drama, scifi/fantasy

Those books are my perennial favorites; I adore the kind hilarity of them, and the intensity of the relationship (whether it's taken as friendship or romance). Psmith is one of my most favorite characters of all time. I love his surety and his unflappability, his low key but endless loyalty and protectiveness, the way he manages to warp the world around himself but does it with benevolence, the way the narrative pokes fun at him but allows him to stand unhumiliated. And I love that Mike is his foil but never the butt of the narrative joke, that Mike's intrinsic value is never questioned or doubted, by the text or by each other. I love how different they are and how wholeheartedly they embrace each other nevertheless, neither trying to change or undermine each other, how much they just - adore and accept and support each other.

And so!

Dear Yuletide writer, welcome! Thank you for sharing my taste in fandoms, and I hope you have fun with my prompts.

I'm going to list some general likes and some specific prompts for every fandom, but if none of the specifics work for you, feel free to mix and match or just ODAO and go for whatever tickles your fancy; I'm sure there are things I haven't thought about that would be super exciting, and as long as DNWs are met, everything else is fair game.

镇魂 | Guardian (TV)
Zhào Yúnlán, Shěn Wēi

Guardian is my newest obsession, and I adore those two and their deep, unshakable, staggeringly important love for each other. This entire show was an unexpected gift to some deep and unplumbed depths of my id - the loyalty, the longing, the identity porn, the mutual protectiveness, the mutual adoration, people getting tied to the pillars and whipped left and right, self-sacrifice, grand gestures and domestic comforts. I love the mix of ridiculous hijinks and darker themes and full-on grand drama intensity. I love Shen Wei's unapologetic intensity and his rather horrible attempts at subterfuge, I love Zhao Yunlan's frank adoration and ferocious protectiveness, I love their ridiculous team and overall found family vibes, and I just want all the stories. All of them.
