ceitfiannaThank you so much for writing for me. I love Yuletide, one of my favorite parts of winter. I know how heavy these fandoms can be so if there's any darkness, add some light too. My favorite sorts of stories are missing moments, character studies and that feel as if they fit within the world of the canon.
I love all of these fandoms because of the depth of the worlds and the characters, I enjoy action and plot if it fits. When a writer can pull off a complex plot, I love it as that's something I'm not good at writing. If you choose to include sex and violence, I ask that if they're there; no rape/dubcon or torture. All of the ones I've asked for are from worlds with difficult aspects to them and I enjoy how the characters interact with and are changed by what's around them. Also even though I've only requested one or two characters, all of these canons revolve around large and complex casts, so please add others into the mix.
The Old Kingdom: Sameth, Ferin: Goldenhand made me incredibly happy as Ferin was a wonderful outside perspective on the Old Kingdom. Also Sameth is my favorite character and I loved how he and Ferin interacted. One reason I love Sameth is because of how he doesn't fully fit and that he's still figuring out how to do what he does within his world. I find the ways that he interacts and understands the Charter intriguing and appreciated how Ferin just got him in a way that other characters outside of Nick haven't. I'd love to see more of her interactions with the Old Kingdom, the Charter, with them and how they change each other and the Old Kingdom. One of my favorite things with Sameth is his interactions with Nick, Ellimere, Lirael, his parents and would adore any of them being worked in.
Nine Worlds: Cliopher "Kip" Mdang (Nine Worlds), Artorin Damara | Fitzroy Angursell: I discovered this series over the holidays last year and loved it. I love the complexity of identity and connection and magic. Give me more of these two characters interactions and how they're changing the world and understanding themselves and I'll be happy. Also other perspectives on them are fascinating as so much of this story is about what we show others and what we know of ourselves.
October Daye: the Luidaeg, October "Toby" Daye: The last book was complex and full of history and looking back so I feel like the Luidaeg and Toby make the most sense to request. I'd love to know the ways that their interactions have shifted and how the Luidaeg controls what she can for Toby. Please include anyone else as I always have such a hard time picking which characters to request from this fandom as I love them all so much. Especially since a huge part of why I love this series is how the families we have and those we make is at the center of everything.
Stardust: Tristan, Yvaine: This is one of my favorite movies and I adore this romance and how they reflect the world that they're in. I'd love more of them and either missing moments from their travels or their lives as they learn how to be rulers.
Andor: Cassian Andor: I love Cassian Andor dearly and this show has brought a lot of complicated feelings for me in terms of how it changes his backstory, but I also love seeing Cassian on the screen. I would dearly love some happiness for Cassian in whatever form that might take, but anything with the communities he finds himself within would be lovely. Some of my favorite aspects of his character that they've highlighted in the show are how he reads people, his flying skill and how quickly he thinks on his feet. I'd love to see these skills being appreciated and people seeing Cassian for the good he is. I'm making this request before the series has ended so there is no requirement to rely fully on the entire canon, instead use what makes sense for you, and any Rogue One anything is great too. Also as someone who has trouble with complex plots, mission/heist fics are amazing.
