yuletide 2020
general yes: hurt/comfort, mindscrew, body horror, supernatural AU, fairy tale AU, memory loss, gore/guro, vampires, 'and there was only one bed,' power dynamics, nightmares, dubious consent, black comedy, fluff, intimacy, comedy, leaning into the canon-typical ridiculousness, post-canon.
dnw: noncon, scat, watersports, modern AUs, coffee shop AUs, high school/college AUs, bestiality, specific character bashing, omegaverse, gratuitous descriptions of bodily functions, second person fic, any non-canon death or serious injury of a child under 13, fic where the main focus is a character's sexuality/gender identity.
CONFESSIONS OF DORIAN GRAY
general likes/dislikes:
The more gore the better, baby. Take full advantage of Dorian's healing factor to put him through some nasty shit. Dorian dealing with some other supernatural or literary nasty he hasn't dealt with in canon. 'Here's what happened off-screen' or backstory fic. Characters dealing with past transgressions come to light. Attempts at domesticity that go horribly, horribly wrong because nothing ever goes good for people in CODG. I'm fine with first or third person. Feel free to ignore the series finale.
character likes/dislikes:
- Any focus on how Toby's kind of a possessive jerk sometimes (after all, he mindwiped Simon) and also how his mental state is kind of garbage. Likewise, any Toby backstory fic would be amazing.
- Simon fic post 'Fallen King of Britain', pre 'The Needle.' How do you adjust back to life when you've dealt with possibly demonic cocaine? How much of Dorian's story does he REALLY believe?
- What happened to Isadora in between getting married & her ending up in Singapore? How much of Dorian's exploits did she know about?
- Dorian! The garbage immortal trashlord himself. Any sort of 'been there, shaped history' fic would be interesting. Are you particularly knowledgeable about a famous literary movement, historical event, or art scene? Shove Dorian there and see what happens. Alternatively, I love me some gore and I love the ridiculous nonsense that you can put Dorian through because of his healing factor. If you can beat him up to the point where limbs regrow, I'd love that.
- fic dealing with some random original side character of the episode getting stuck with Dorian. One of the things that I really like about the series is just how much more of a JERK Dorian is when you take away the first person POV. Any sort of fic that could slot into a missing canon episode is the best.
- write the post-canon ending of your heart because what the fuck, Scott Hancock.
shippy likes/dislikes:
- Kinky vampire & immortal bedroom smut. Bleeding, fangs, healing, pain, the messier and bloodier the better.
- Dorian getting turned on by pain or danger, Simon not knowing what the FUCK to do about that.
- Any sort of dubious consent or identity porn with regards to Dorian or Toby lying about their immortal status/pretending to be what they aren't and their partner having no idea what the hell they're getting into. I really loved the identity porn aspect of "The Living Image" so while I don't want something that directly copies that, something in that vein would be loved.
PIRANESI
general likes/dislikes:
This really is an amazing puzzle of a book, isn't it. I fell in love with the idea of the House and would love anything/everything exploring it. The dead really interest me and any fic focused on them or giving them backstories would be appreciated. As a note, though I absolutely adore JS&MN, I'd prefer no crossovers or even hints of crossovers between it & Piranesi.
character likes/dislikes:
- Matthew/Piranesi precanon: more about what drew him into learning about Sayles, his first few days in the House, or even just a fun little side story of Piranesi finding a new room and exploring it. Super nerdy request, Matthew when he's in academia.
- Matthew/Piranesi postcanon: he's kind of a new person now, how does he bridge the gap between Matthew & Piranesi. Readjusting to the world, learning about what he missed. Anything with him and Sixteen at the end of the book as he readjusts to modern life would be aces.
- What the fuck is Ketterly doing in between all his visits? What does he really think about Piranesi? What sort of pretentious asshole nicknames someone 'Piranesi' to begin with? He's so fascinating in such a terrible way so anything exploring him would be loved.
- I'd prefer genfic over shipfic.
PRINCESS TUTU
general likes/dislikes:
Metafiction, story-telling beats, gratuitous ballet references, Drosselmeyer fucking things up for everybody. Raven's blood s2 Mytho, the Raven being a horrible dad. ANGST and dancing out that angst via feelings. AU IT UP, BABY. What does the new story that Mytho and Rue are going back to actually look like? It's a different story now than The Prince and the Raven. What is it? As a note, though I'll be using Duck in my letter, it doesn't matter to me whether you call her Duck or Ahiru. Third-person, please.
character likes/dislikes:
- Adjusting to things post-canon. Whether it's Rue adjusting to her princess life (as well as the fact that someone actually loves her and good things are happening to her for once), Fakir adjusting to Duck's duckness, Mytho adjusting to having his heart & memories back, or Duck adjusting to being a duck again, any sort of post-canon adjustment fic would work.
- Fakir learning how his authorial powers actually work. His authorial powers felt like such a last-minute addition that any world-building on the Bookmen or what Fakir can actually do would be appreciated.
- Duck doing ballet as a duck. Duck having a big girl crush on Rue but not really knowing how to get it out. Anything focused on Duck & Rue's friendship.
- POV or character-focused fic for Raven's blood midcanon Mytho.
- Uzura's neat. She doesn't have to play a prominent role but I always like it when she shows up in things.
shippy likes/dislikes:
- I'm up for any combination of the main 4 (Duck, Rue, Mytho, & Fakir) in any form (m/m, m/f, f/f, poly, etc.)
- Keep it PG or PG-13, please. Nothing explicit for these children & a literal duck.
- How the hell do you show affection to a duck anyway? Fakir doesn't know, but he wants to find out.
PUPPET HISTORY
general likes/dislikes:
Write your own Puppet History fan episode focused on that one bit of obscure history you absolutely adore with Ryan and Kate as the guests! Honestly, this is a very silly show so if I can have a very silly fic, I would appreciate that. No puppet angst here (puppet black comedy is aokay and the Donner Party deserves to be dunked on), no crossovers please (with the exception Buzzfeed Unsolved), no focus on any historical event post-1950, and please keep any history references thematically appropriate (let's not have the Professor teach people about some horrible genocide).
character likes/dislikes:
- Professor backstory!!! How'd he find that genie anyway? Does the genie ever show back up again to rub salt in the Professor's wounds? Likewise, any fic where the Professor bops around history with his little time traveling self would be adorable. That being said, I would love you forever if I got 'Professor meets Donner Party' (or really, any 'Professor meets group of people who are just so fuckin' doomed.' Let's try and give some jellybeans to John Franklin or Percy Fawcett)
- The genie is NOT Shane but instead is its own separate entity.
- No shipfic! Please do not fuck the puppet.
- Ryan wins one for once.
- Kate gets to be delightful.
