nerakroseDEAR YULETIDE WRITER
Whatever you choose to write for me I will be very grateful, so don't worry too hard. Have fun!
GENERAL LIKES:
-queer stuff - alllll the queer things ever, every single request i've made is for queer fic
- fluff, domestic shit, getting togethers, slow burn/slow romance, characters being genuinely head over heels for each other, lots of love, snarky assholes, confused babies, exploration of gender/sexuality, fake dating, breezy fun plots, characters who speak their minds (paired with characters who don’t), god I love so many things
-hilarious/funny things - i love aus and the wilder the better? like honestly, an au that couldn't be further from the canon is a++, i love it. also general humour, absurd situations, weird plots--if you've been looking for an excuse to go wild, here you go!
-HAPPY ENDINGS
GENERAL DISLIKES:
eh, anything that's overly smutty (no on-screen smut please), kinky, and dark.
onwards!
OCEAN'S 8
Debbie, Lou
I would love to see a take on what happened before they broke up and Debbie hooked up with whatshisface and went to prison, or how they got together the first time, or what happened after the end of the movie. a heist fic maybe - what was the first heist they pulled off? successfully? or not? how does their relationship progress from there? what do they DO after they just pulled that heist off??? sweet retirement?? with tHOSE personalities??
if you choose to do cameos from the Ocean's 11 trilogy, then I would love and appreciate an inclusion (even if just a hint) of the Tess/Danny, Danny/Rusty, Rusty/Isabel polyamorous chain. (it might exist only in my head, but, like, I'm absolutely convinced it's real.)
the rest of the cast of the film are ok to use as supporting characters! as are characters from the Ocean's 11 trilogy.
GLOW
Bash, Florian
first of all I'm sorry that for a TV series with so many women in it I'm zeroing in on Bash (and Florian) but listen, the moment I realised that Bash was asexual and gay, there was no turning back. the ace character is always my fave, that's just...how it is.
so! what i'd love is literally ANYTHING about that. a character study, ship fic, friendship fic (feel free to include the rest of the cast - such as carmen - as supporting characters) whatever, i don't really care how you do it, i'd just love to see Bash deal with it and ideally, be happy (or, happyish) at the end. you don't have to include Florian, I mean, canon is pretty clear on the fact that Bash was unaware that Florian was gay, so was most likely also unaware (or in denial) about his own feelings for him, and paired with his being asexual might not even have realised...etc.etc.
anyway, my point is, some words about Bash's journey of self-discovery would be excellent. ANGST IS OK BUT I LIVE FOR HAPPY ACE CHARACTERS so please some kind of happy ending would be GREAT.
SIERRA BURGESS IS A LOSER
Sierra, Veronica
I really like this movie but I would've just...loved it so much more if the Veronica/Sierra trajectory had stayed on track and they'd realised they're in loooove. so basically that's what i want :D after the fight (and the reveal) i'd just love for them to realise that what's most important is them, not Jamey (though he can stay on as a friend or whatever). i can easily see how Veronica might have realised long before Sierra did, and that Sierra might be more confused about what she's feeling.
i would also be ok with friendship fic! :D
SENSE8
Detective Mun, Sun
(shhh I know he has a name but I just love how 'detective Mun' sounds)
my feelings and love for them can best be summed up by this twitter thread i wrote when i watched season 2. basically, i'd love some kind of exploration of how much detective Mun just absolutely fucking loves Sun and would be happy to have her beat him* every day for the rest of his life. that boy clearly has a Thing. mutual support and gentleness and equality with some hints of D/s dynamic? hellll yeah.
*i do mean in martial arts, not like, domestic violence
GOD'S OWN COUNTRY
Johnny, Gheorghe
i've seen this movie like four times and it's so ? good? It took me a while to warm up to John, who was an asshole for much of the movie, but at the end of it I was rooting for him - primarily, I think, because he was actively trying to get better at that point. And Gheorghe was lovely, so soft. Such a soft boy. anyway, it's one of those messy life movies and what I thought was especially fantastic was that it wasn't the being gay thing that made life messy - it wasn't even a concern. Like, yes! We queer people can have messy lives that aren't about being gay! Thank you!
ANYWAY I like to think that five years from now they may have ironed out most of their problems, turned the farm around and are getting established with an artisanal sheep cheese brand with a snazzy label designed by one of those friends John had who went away to university. you don't have to write me exactly that, but I'd love something soft and peaceful and gentle, maybe there's still some grit there, but they're happy - things are looking up, they're progressing as a couple and as people and with the farm, and, well, everything.
MULAN
Mulan, Shang
yeah so, keeping in with the general theme of this year's sign up which is ALL THE QUEER THINGS EVER, please let me have genderqueer Mulan and Shang being queer and happy together. I don't really care how you do it, if it's going to be an AU or canon-compliant, or what, I just want something that takes that "oh look it's ok she's a woman after all!" vibe away from Shang's attraction to Mulan and actually turns it all queer. as it should be. Mulan's gender identity I'm not too fussed about, if you want to write a trans!male Mulan (Ping?) that's fine by me, trans!nonbinary is A-OK, genderfluid, agender, etc. it's all good. Let Shang be queer, let Mulan be queer, let them be queer and happy together.
Whatever you choose to write for me I will be very grateful, so don't worry too hard. Have fun!
