kay_obsessiveDear Yuletide Writer,
First of all, thank you so much for writing something for me! I really love all of these fandoms and characters I’m requesting, so I’m sure I’ll like anything you make for any of them!
My previous exchange letters can be found here, my AO3 account is here, and my tumblr is here.
General Likes/Dislikes
Likes: Characters who know each other better than anyone else, whether they are friends, lovers, colleagues, enemies, or any combination of the above. Trust and loyalty. Competence kink. Casually intimate body language. People who have no sense of personal space with each other. Outsider POVs. Interweaving plots. Slice of life. Weird domesticity. Roadtrips. Mission fic. Future fic. Canon divergence AUs. Supernatural/fantasy/______punk/in space! AUs. Interesting little worldbuilding details. Undercover as a couple. Sharing a bed. Culture clashes. People who are bad at communicating finally managing it. Drabbles and drabble sequences. Epistolary formats. 5+1 things format.
DNWs: Non-canon permanent major character death. Explicit, onscreen non-con. Underage sex under 15 or so. Unrequested parent-child incest. Unrequested crossovers. ‘Modern mundane’/high school/coffee shop-type AUs. Anything A/B/O, dom/sub world AU, soulmates, or soulbonds (canonical supernatural bonds and connections are fine).
Requests
Any prompts listed are just ideas and suggestions, and if you have your own super great idea for any of these fandoms and relationships you should totally go for it!
Girl Genius
Requested Characters: Gilgamesh Wulfenbach, Zeetha Daughter of Chump
I’ve been following this delightfully ridiculous series on and off for ages now, and back when I first caught up, the hints about Gil and Zeetha being siblings were just beginning to really drop. It was one of my favorite little unravelling plot/character threads. And now, all this time later, there’s still barely been anything more on that front. Oh, Girl Genius...
Anyway, I would love to see anything exploring more about that. Maybe fic of them working it all out, on their own or otherwise - Zeetha seemed to have a bit more of an idea what’s going on; did she already know from their mother that she had a missing brother? - and talking to each other or other characters about it. Or something later on where they’ve settled into being siblings. Or other characters reacting to the revelation, or them visiting family in Skifander, or an AU where they were raised together in either the Wulfenbach Empire or in Skifander, or anything else really. Gil/Agatha, Gil/Agatha/Tarvek, and Zeetha/Higgs are all fine for background ships.
Lackadaisy
Requested Characters: Ivy Pepper, Viktor Vasko
Ivy and Viktor have my favorite relationship in this comic. Big, strong, curmudgeonly characters who have a not-so-secret soft spot for small, sweet, perky characters are a weakness of mine. I love that he can be murderously protective of her, but she also has a clear power over him, to the point where others will bring Ivy along as a shield if they think Viktor might be unhappy with them. I love how Ivy reacts to Viktor being in danger by being aggressively cheerful and unwilling to let him mope alone, while Viktor reacts to Ivy being in danger by being an asshole and trying to drive her away – and neither of them quite understands what the other is doing and they just wind up arguing. I do ship it and would enjoy some tension in that direction – doesn’t have to be anything explicitly stated – but I also genuinely enjoy their platonic relationship and would enjoy more of that as well.
I’m really interested in where their recent (well, in comic time, anyway) falling out has left them, with Viktor obviously terrified of the danger Ivy is in now that she’s starting to get deeper into the Lackadaisy’s more unpleasant business and lashing out, and Ivy frustrated with him getting way too involved in her personal life while also trying to push her away, plus her dealing with all this new information she has about Viktor’s past now. I would love anything exploring where they might go from there. Or something looking at where they might be further down the line – does Ivy get in even deeper, maybe under Viktor’s reluctant tutelage, or do they both manage to get out and do their own thing?
Wolfwalkers
Requested Characters: Mebh MacTíre, Robyn Goodfellowe
This is a beautiful movie, and the relationship between the two leads was wonderful. How happy they are together once they actually meet and start talking, the freedom and affection and acceptance they get from each other after being so alone and separated/alienated from the only other person they have in the world. And I love that the happy ending was Everyone Is Wolves instead of there being some tragic separation.
Shippiness or platonic friendship are both equally good by me for these two! I’d just love to see them getting to know each other even more, sharing their pasts and cultures with each other as they find and settle in to wherever their new home winds up being and Robyn learns even more about being a wolfwalker. I also loved the parents in this movie and how much they truly love their daughters, so I would be happy to see something about them getting to know each other and each other’s family and everyone (including the wolves and Merlyn!) all settling in to becoming a pack.
Well, that about sums it up, I think. Again, thank you so much for writing something for me! If you like prompts, I hope what I gave you is helpful. If you prefer to work without them, I look forward to seeing whatever you come up with. I’m sure whatever you make will be awesome!
