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.

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)

Dear Chocolatier, thank you very much for choosing my fandoms! I can't wait to see what kind of fancy chocolate you'll whip up.

I like iddy, all-out stuff - and if you look at my prompts and our ids don't quite match, definitely go with yours! I'm really looking forward to seeing what story you'll enjoy writing; I love those fandoms, I'm excited to find out new things to love about them, it's all good. As long as you meet my DNW, feel free to mix and match and ODAO as much as your heart desires.

Links:

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).

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.

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.

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.

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!

The Tarot Sequence - K.D. Edwards
Rune Saint John & Brandon Saint John (The Tarot Sequence)
Fanfiction

This book was a bit of unexpected delight I've caught in 2018, and so much fun, on so many different levels - from it's Chronicles of Amber-reminiscent setting to the narrative voice to relationships within. I am especially invested into the idea of the Companion bond, and whatever it entails, and the way Rune and Brand sort this particular thing between themselves: where Brand is Rune's companion, and a bodyguard, and a partner, and a best friend, and a nagging caretaker, and a first and last line of defense, and a deeply treasured loved one, and everything in-between, and the most important relationship there could be. 
Some prompts, just to get things rolling!
Prompts )

Guardian (TV)
Shen Wei/Zhаo Yunlan 
Fanfiction


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.

So, for example:

Final Fantasy XV
Noctis Lucis Caelum/Lunafreya Nox Fleuret/Ignis Scientia 
Fanfiction


Ignis/Noct/Luna is the tiny treasured OT3 of my heart, and I'm leaping on the chance to request it! I love Ignis and Noct and the intensity of their relationship in all permutations, and I love the potential what-may-have-been in Noct and Luna, and I think those three together would be really - interesting, and grander than each pairing separately. I basically like the idea of Ignis being included in their relationship by the nature of being, well, Ignis, and also Ignis transferring part of his loyalty/fealty to Luna, first for Noct's sake and then for her own, and how they navigate those waters. 

Some prompts!

Dear Fandom5K writer, hello! Thank you so much for choosing my fandoms and writing for me; I hope you're going to enjoy writing whatever you pick, and that my prompts will be helpful to you. I'll try to have a mix of specific and general prompts, but if nothing quite works for you, feel free to ODOA, as long as you don't hit my DNWs and have fun.

I'm reusing requests for some of my fandoms because they've netted me amazing stories in the previous challenges and made me want more, too.

With that in mind:

General likes:
- Hurt/comfort! Physical h/c, emotional h/c, captivity scenarios, torture, whipping, crucifixion, dungeons, bullet wounds, you name it and I've been into it for decades. If it's your kink as well, don't tone it down! Just go all out. I love h/c 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, for each fandom, is who is getting hurt and who is doing the comforting.
- 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).
- Non-mundane, tropey AUs - space opera! high fantasy! historical! pirates!
- Outsider POVs.

DNWs:
- Character death.
- Infidelity and partner betrayal of any kind.
- Hurt without comfort.
- A/B/O universes and mpreg.
- Mundane AUs (coffeeshops, high schools, et cetera)
- Grimdark stories and unhappy endings.
- PWPs.

Dear Chocolate Box author, hi! Last year doing this challenge was great fun, and I hope this one will be no less, for you and for me. Thanks for matching up on my fandoms and writing or drawing for me! I hope you'll find my prompts fun, and if you don't, feel free to ODAO everything but my DNWs, and just create whatever works for you, I'm going to be happy with anything done with love in those fandoms of my heart.

For reference, al my previous fic challenge posts are here, and my AO3 bookmarks are here.

- 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).
- Non-mundane, tropey AUs - space opera! high fantasy! historical! pirates!
- Outsider POVs.

DNWs:
- Character death.
- Infidelity and partner betrayal of any kind.
- Hurt without comfort.
- A/B/O universes and mpreg.
- Grimdark stories and unhappy endings.
- PWPs.



Onwards to specific fandoms! Some of those carry over from Yuletide, some of those are new, I love all of them and want alll the things.

fandom5k stories are up!

i've gotten a really amazing, thoughtful and lovingly written babylon 5 story about valen (just in case, if you haven't seen the show and plan on doing so, which you should, even the summary is a huge spoiler), and it delivered pretty much everything i ever wanted out of dealing with this character in all his complicated glory. i'm so happy!

the fic is here - city of sorrow, city of peace - and if you've watched babylon 5, you should absolutely check it out.

(my recipient loved their fic, so i'm quite content. spot me in the archive! tv fandom, very obviously me, i think).

showing off my wonderful gifts for chocolate box! that was an extremely lovely challenge, and i'm so happy with the results.

the mystery of the missing horses (2891 words) by anonymous
fandom: the librarians (tv 2014)
characters: cassandra cillian, eve baird, jenkins | galahad, jake stone, ezekiel jones
additional tags: season/series 03, unicorns, hurt/comfort

a magical mystery leads to eve getting injured.

my delightful gift! eve gets injured, cassandra gets worried and protective, and topics such as military stoicism, unicorns vs. virgins and troubles of finding a date while being a librarian are discussed. a delight of a story.

"We've had a hard day," Eve said, changing the subject.

"That's an understatement." And Eve was perfectly fine, but Cassandra was still scared about something happening to her.

"So I think we've earned a break," Eve went on, but the corners of her mouth twitched at Cassandra's interruption. "Let's go get a drink. If Stone and Ezekiel don't stop arguing, they can buy the drinks."

Cassandra smiled. "Or we'll just sit at a different table. On the other side of the bar."


psmith and the after-lunch winter (3272 words) by anonymous
fandom: psmith - p. g. wodehouse, chronicles of narnia - c. s. lewis
characters: rupert psmith, jadis | the white witch, mike jackson, edmund pevensie
additional tags: crossover

when psmith was still just a wee smith, he had a very strange adventure in some beautifully crafted cabinetry...

psmith meets narnia, and narnia meets psmith: it's hard to say who's shaken more. written in amazing psmith voice, with a perfect edmund to boot, and therefore is hysterically funny.

“I will feel Comrade Jackson’s desertion cruelly, but your solidarity is much appreciated, Comrade Pevensie.”

“Are you a socialist, Smith?” Pevensie asked.

“I am. May I spend the evening swaying you to the cause?”

Pevensie shook his head. “I’m a monarchist, through and through.”

“Constitutional or absolutist?”

Pevensie thought. “Absolute, I suppose. But in practice, I was always open to something a bit more democratic.”


(safe) house in the woods (1851 words) by anonymous
fandom: wynonna earp (tv)
relationships: xavier dolls/wynonna earp/doc holliday, canon relationship(s)
characters: xavier dolls, wynonna earp, doc holliday (wynonna earp)
additional tags: pre-relationship, hurt/comfort, post-season/series 01, withdrawal, implied/referenced torture

of course wynonna's going to get dolls. and of course doc is going with her.

pitch-perfect hurt/comfort follow up to season 1: wynonna and doc rescue dolls and bring him home. seen via doc, who loves almost despite himself and can't let go if he tried, and goes in circles until he ends where he should be. the way these three take care of each other is just so - right; together, they will shake the world.

Doc tries the bed again that night. After about an hour, he heads out to the living room. Wynonna's sitting on the couch, Dolls's head on her lap. Doc considers going to the loveseat, but decides against it, instead sitting on the other side of the sofa, lifting Dolls' feet and setting them in his own lap.

Dolls is breathing heavily, and the shakes are back. Wynonna says, "We're gonna fix this."

Dolls reaches out with one of his hands and squeezes at her knee. Doc says, "Well yeah, we've already gotta plan, haven't we?"

Dolls laughs, a short, huffing noise, but Doc is pretty sure the amusement is genuine. "Yeah," he says. "A plan. Those never go wrong with us."

"Never," Wynonna agrees, with a laugh of her own.

i come bearing yuletide gifts! i had an extremely amazing yuletide, with gorgeous gifts and generous feedback, and so i return over sixty recs for glorious fics in amazing fandoms. enjoy!

first of all, MY LOVELY GIFTS:

playing cards on a marriage bed
the fire's stone - tanya huff  
words: 1,280

darvish, chandra and aaron on the wedding night. careful, gentle, loving exploration, with some beautiful details thrown in - like darvish and chandra playing cards for flower petals, and the petals in aaron color being the most valuable.

(especially adorable: chandra's prowess at cards).

aaron is skittish but learning to trust, chandra is practical and kind, and darvish can't stop himself from giving poetry; and i'm so happy.

pink iris (important to me)
赤髪の白雪姫 | akagami no shirayukihime
words: 4,883

the last words anyone expected to hear coming out of shirayuki’s mouth were, “zen’s been kidnapped!” but that was what had happened, and now it was up to shirayuki, obi, kiki, and mitsuhide to get him back.

if only they would let shirayuki help!

an excellent action/adventure story that reads straight like a missing episode from canon. shenanigans in the woods! crafty bandits! zen lying his head off for shirayuki, obi trying to be do things all by himself and needing help, kiki and matsuhide bailing everybody out with quite competence and shirayuki ruling the day with her secret herbalist badassery. so awesome.

the change: family
the changes series - rachel manija brown & sherwood smith
words: 17,150

mia lee has to check a pipe leak, and rather than have the horror patrol of the century along with her, asks ross and jennie to act as her support team. kerry, at loose ends, invites herself along on what they all anticipate will be a pleasant outing.

what could possibly go wrong?

well, starting with kerry's dysfunctional family. . .

i absolutely don't know what i did to deserve it, but this is an amazing fic. it's practically a sequel to hostage, slotting into place surely and steadily, and it has everything i love about these books - steadiness, friendship, love, negotiating complicating relationships, aiming for love and cooperation rather than strife and conflict. and all the character beats were perfect - kerry not regretting her princess life but missing it (and gloating in the end over the death of her enemies, and knowing not to show it; i loved it so much), felicite angry, ross self-sacrificial but willing to learn other way, mia bashful but valiant, jenny longing but learning to be different. and the action sequence was hair-rising, and the conclusion extremely satisfying. go read it, if you didn't; it'll tide us over until the third book is out.

Dearest Yuletide writer, hello! I'm so happy we've matched, and I hope you'll enjoy writing for me and find something here to your liking. These four picks are very tiny fandoms very dear to my heart, and so whatever you choose to write will absolutely delight me. Here are some preferences and likes and prompt ideas, but really, at the heart of - anything goes! Just enjoy yourself and write what works for you.

With that in mind, here we go for generalities! (some things are carried over from my previous letters, some are new).

I like:
- You literally can't go wrong with hurt/comfort. It's my oldest and dearest bulletproof narrative kink, and if you're into it, just be as indulgent as you like. I love physical hurt/comfort, I love emotional hurt/comfort, I love various (AU or canon-compliant) captivity scenarios, I adore nursing-from-wounds-or-sickness stuff, I'm hugely into any opportunity for the characters to showcase their care and love for each other. I love hurt/comfort mostly within the context of the relationship (not necessarily romantic - filial ties, friendship, brothers-in-arms comradeship, whichever fits), as an opening for one character to be hurt and for other to be outraged/terrified/comforting on their behalf.
- Found families, everlasting friendships, us-against-the-world - I love the stories where people keep and find warmth and meaning in each other within the larger universe even when said universe is not generally benevolent. I love people holding each other against the dark.
- Complicated and deep relationship between women - love, friendship, family ties, rivalries, loyalties.
- Hope and kindness - I love, in general, Clair universes, stories where there is, ultimately, meaning and hope instead of just entropy and neverending misery. Sometimes against all odds and sometimes at a great price, but getting there in the end.
- Loyalty - there's pretty much nothing I don't love about loyalty kink in all it forms! From its ritualized forms (royalty AUs, knights, oaths, kneeling, whatever you want) to more mundane of being unquestionably and in all events there for the other person.
- Self-sacrifice and martyrdom - give me people sacrificing themselves for others and suffering for the sake of something greater or somebody they love, and I'm a happy, happy reader.

I would prefer not to read about:
- Character death.
- Infidelity and partner betrayal of any kind.
- Hurt not followed by sufficient comfort; it's a very well-respected genre, but it's definitely not my thing (as for grievous hurt followed by comfort, then yes, see above and go ahead!).
- A/B/O universes and mpreg.
- Grimdark stories and unhappy endings.

I like gen and shipping fics alike, and porny shippy fics are fine as well, but I would prefer not to receive a PWP story, if possible.


If you want some other info on my preferences or are just curious in a great Yuletide-stalking tradition, my previous yuletide letters and gifts are unlocked, and also there are: my greatly disorganized tumblr, my fics and bookmarks and some of my book reviews.
