Yuletide Reveals!

A pretty good yuletide all around - it has certainly kickstarted me to write more! After thinking I would barely get my assignment done, I wound up writing two treats!

I received a fic in Trollhunters which is mostly about Barbara's relationship with Jim after the series finale, even though he isn't in it :3

Dear Chocolatier :3

Dear...confectioner,

I just wanted to give some general likes/dislikes beyond what I put in the specific sections of my signup (which are repeated below). This is pretty much the same as my last year's letter, though!

I'm really interested in the dynamics of relationships - what people are bringing to the table, what do they want to get, what do they want to give, and what happens where the needs and desires of two individuals meet. Do they compliment or conflict? Do they build up or tear down? How do they resolve? I think there are lots of ways of getting at these questions as well, from throwing them into wacky hijinks to see how they execute (or not) a particular caper, to throwing them in bed and seeing what they want when they're there. So, I'm not necessarily looking for any kind of introspection in a story, I just want to know a little more about what makes these people work (or not) as a unit. I know there are some really talented artists out there, as well as writers, and I'm interested to see how these can be conveyed visually as well as textually.

I am definitely up for explicit stories for any of the requested "/" pairings! I don't have a list of specific squicks - I'm pretty open to stuff, and the delivery is really what's important. So to speak. As for kinks, I like power dynamics, negotiation, all levels of consent (enthusiastic consent, ambiguous consent, dubcon, noncon), all kinds of sex (vaginal, anal, oral, intercrural, frottage, clothed, semiclothed, public, whatever!) knifeplay, breathplay, bdsm, blood, loyalty, kissing...a million other things I'm probably not thinking of. Basically, this is me.

As far as art goes, I should also note that I am interested in a variety of body shapes/sizes/colours, and I am also interested in symbolic representation and stylized art as well as more representational perspectives, as long as the requested characters are in some way identifiable in the piece.

And now, Requests!

Diablotin
Art or Fic
César Nazarius/Sendhel, Denise Murodea & Hettienne Murodea, Irrez ur N'mar/B'razvi ar Szedlec, Justen Olivier/Xandhìl Órecalo, Justen Olivier/Xandhìl Órecalo/Sirris (Diablotin), Ralf Enderlen/Ander Suterre, Sanadhìl Órecalo & Ilphère de Quessenet (Diablotin), Sendhel/anyone (Diablotin)

If you are offering this you probably already have a good idea of what I'd like, and I'd trust you give it to me!

I am up for any tone here, from Srs Bsns to fluff to utter crack. I really enjoy all the dynamics between the characters here, and that goes double for Sendhel/Anyone :V On that note, I am totally open to crossovers for that last one, so if you're feeling inspired, go nuts! I would actually be very interested in AUs for any of these though. Feel free to include Janelle as well with Ralf/Ander.

Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
Ayel/Nero (AOS)
Art or Fic

Ooooh, give me the angst, the twenty-five years of being each other's main support, give me that deeply committed loyalty, the passion, the focused hate. Make the hot angry Romulans kiss!

Original Work
Art or Fic
Explorer/Forgotten Deity of a Long Lost Shrine, Lonely Librarian/Sentient Book, Lover in Mourning/Lover Who's Been Dead for A Year and a Day, Older Woman from Proud Alien Warrior Culture/Half-Human Teenage Girl Who Wants To Learn To Fight, Dethroned and Dishonored Queen/Lone Loyal Female Knight ×Male Orc General/Male Captured Elf Prince, Mob Boss In Love With Man He Knows Is An Undercover Cop/Cop Who Doesn't Realize He's Been Found Out , Shapeshifting Dragon/Runaway Noble, Incubus/Straight Male Victim, Demoness/Female Fae Tithed to Hell

Basically what I am here for is things that aren't as straightforwards as they seem on the surface. I am really into complicated power dynamics, especially in sexual relationships. Some of these suggest interesting power dynamics because of the positions of the characters involved, but feel free to play around with it! I'm interesting in how social and cultural differences play into these dynamics as well, so free free to play around with that in terms of the fantasy races, and certainly don't feel bound by fantasy stereotypes! The possible exception to this is the 'Lover in Mourning/Lover Who's Been Dead for A Year and a Day' pairing, where I would definitely be interested in the 'Unquiet Grave'/'Cold blows the wind' take on that, where the dead lover warns the other what will happen if they kiss them (nothing good).

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018)
Art or Fic
Adora/Bow/Glimmer (She-Ra 2018), Adora/Catra (She-Ra 2018), Bow/Sea Hawk (She-Ra (2018), Catra/Scorpia (She-Ra 2018), Mermista/Sea Hawk (She-Ra 2018), Netossa/Spinnerella (She-Ra 2018)

I really enjoyed the relationships on this show more than I expected to, but these are some ones I feel would be particularly fun to play with! They've all got an adorable side, and then some of them can go pretty dark too. Same things apply here as elsewhere - complicated relationships and power dynamics, please!

I pretty much assume any sexual people in this setting are bi or pan ;p

Trollhunters (Cartoon)
Art or Fic
Draal/Nomura (Trollhunters)

I'm really interested in the history between them! How did they meet - was it on the batlefield? Did Nomura target him on purpose because of his father, or was it coincidence? Did she have real feelings? Was it hard for her to get him hooked? And of course, where are their feelings when they meet again in the show? :3

3 Below (Cartoon)
Art or Fic
Izita/Zadra (3 Below), Nancy Domzalski/Varvatos Vex

I was mainlining this show basically as I was doing my noms, so given Im'a weirdo who likes minor alien characters, this is where we've wound up :x

Izita and Zadra are great together, from what we see. They have a lot to each other, I think, and I like the contrasts in their personalities despite sharing a lot of character traits in common. And Nancy and VV are just amusing, because you know she schools him at more than just chess, and he comes crawling back for more ;)

Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells
Art or Fic
Malachite/Pearl (Raksura), Consolation/Kethel (Raksura), Consolation/First (Raksura)

I've read all the books and all the patreon stories, so feel free to draw on any of the resources you have access to! I found a lot of the relationships coming out of the last books really interesting and would love to see them explored. I was really intrigued by the characters from the Fell Flight and would love to see more of them learning to be people. I was also....fascinated, let's say, by how Pearl and Malachite got along so incredibly well and would love seeing hat explored in greater depth.
