Dear Yuletide Writer

Hello, dear writer! I'm 13lackbirds on ao3, and I hope you're enjoying the exchange so far! This is my first Yuletide and I'm really excited about it. :D

I have some ideas and squee to share, but if you want to mix and match prompts or come up with your own ideas from my general likes, please feel free! I deeply love all of these fandoms and am really excited to read about them, so I can't wait to see what you come up with. In any case, thank you for creating something for me, and for taking the time to read this. :)

Before the fandom-specific prompts, I've got some lists of basic info that might help you out. 

General Likes

• Missing scenes, canon-divergent AUs
• Body care - characters brushing their partner's hair, bathing each other, tending to their partner’s wounds, etc.
• Battling together / survival scenarios / trapped-on-a-deserted-island / one character rescuing the other
• Loyalty kink
• Unorthodox expressions of caring
• Relationships with experience/age/power differences that still work for the people involved, especially if the imbalance of power isn’t as clear-cut as it appears at first

Do Not Want

• Non-con (except in Lady of the Shard)
• Extreme underage (13 and under)
• Unrequested pairings
• Omegaverse, mundane AUs, soulmate AUs
• Incest

Lady of the Shard

Requested characters: Acolyte, Old God, Radiant Goddess

I love this comic and all of these characters so much, and ship every possible combination of the three of them (so I’m okay if all three of them don’t appear in the story, but I’d prefer something that focuses on the relationship between at least two of them). I'm equally okay with sweetness or something dark! There's a ton of potential for h/c, something melancholy, fluff, gentle devotion, fucked-up consent issues (I'm okay with noncon for this fandom!), cosmic horror, pretty much anything depending on how you want to play around with their dynamic(s), and I love all of it.

General likes for this fandom: Loyalty kink, shapeshifting, wholeheartedly loving a monster, love as a force of redemption, love as a force of destruction, anything that highlights the divine/mortal divide (size difference; strength difference; telepathic sex; cosmic, emotionally-overwhelming experiences that happen when they kiss; etc.), domesticity contrasted with the fantastical setting, worldbuilding

Prompts:

• The Radiant Goddess’ past as a temple girl, and how she and the Old God fell in love
• “I think you’re beautiful as a horrible monster, too!” - the Acolyte turns out to be into shapeshifting/cosmic smut with the Old God in her true form/xeno stuff
• The Acolyte discovers the Old God’s vulnerable side and need to be loved before the big climactic fight - how might things play out differently?
• The Acolyte having racy dreams about the Radiant Goddess
• Something about the Acolyte is like catnip to goddesses
• The Old God and/or Radiant Goddess appreciates the Acolyte's meals so much and decides to cook a meal for her for a change (and possibly screws it up beyond the point that even divine intervention can help)
• The Old God puts both the Acolyte and the Radiant Goddess under mind control - it’s impossible for her to be lonely if she has two devoted pets constantly eager to service and fawn over her
• The Acolyte or the Radiant Goddess nobly volunteers to go through various unpleasant ordeals (torture, extremely difficult physical tasks, doing humiliating sexual acts for the Old God, whatever you'd like) as long as the Old God saves/spares the other. The Old God has her fun with them, then reverses events, mindwipes them, and makes them redo it again and again, varying events as she pleases.
• Tender, healing love scenes with All-Goddess/Acolyte; bonus for overwhelmed crying, consciousness-sharing, religious ecstasy in general

Mob Psycho 100

Requested characters: Kageyama “Mob” Shigeo, Reigen Arataka

 

This is a brand-new fandom for me, and I fell head-over-heels in love with their relationship and would love to see more of it! I love what an odd pair they are, and how they’re hugely influential on each other’s lives in a quiet, understated way. I love how their relationship is founded on this weird duality of Reigen exploiting Mob while still genuinely caring for him, and how Mob’s biggest role model is a lying con man who’s at heart a good person.

A couple small notes: Since I got into the series very recently via the anime, I’m unfortunately not caught up on the manga - I’m in the process of reading it and know a lot of spoilers, but I don’t have any manga-specific prompts, sorry! Also, I ship these two, and while I’m okay with friendship/gen I really don’t see their relationship as familial at all, so I’d prefer no ‘Reigen is Mob’s surrogate dad’-type headcanons.

Other things I like for this fandom: Humor and canon-typical wackiness, crack played straight, casual touching on Reigen’s part, little ways they influence each other’s lives, small kindnesses that have big impacts, being foils for each other, get-together or first time fic, praise kink, underage as long as Mob is at least 14 (but if you want to age him up that's okay too), using psychic powers in bed (intentionally or accidentally)

Prompts:

• Some tropes I’d love to see with them: accidental animal acquisition, bodyswap, body sharing, temporary soulbonding, a plot device of your choice traps them together and they have to huddle for warmth, they end up locked in a tiny space together, they’re away on a case overnight and the hotel only has one bed
• The two of them out on the job! Maybe they have to go undercover or disguise themselves for a case (again)? Maybe they get horribly lost on the way to/from a fake exorcism and end up stumbling into a real haunting/possession/etc., possibly without realizing they went to the wrong address?
• Mob acting differently around Reigen after reaching 1000% Gratitude during the showdown with Claw, whether because of unconscious leftover clinginess from his powers hitching a ride in Reigen’s body, him wanting to be around an adult he can trust not to hurt him after a bunch of other adults kicked the unholy shit out of him and his brother and friend, or a crush (or all of the above)
• Reigen’s life outside his job is pretty boring (on a tangent I love that moment in the ED when Mob literally brings color to his world, ahh my heart), so it’d be fun to see Reigen decide he will follow Mob’s lead and try to Live Every Day To The Fullest, with comedic/disastrous results. Maybe he enters some oddball contest or competition and needs Mob to compete with him? Maybe he gets a hobby and is super annoying about it?
• Budding relationship fluff - expressing affection/flirting/courting each other in very idiosyncratic ways; they’ve gone out to dinner countless times but it’s different when they know it’s A Date; an attempt at romance is interrupted by supernatural hijinks
• Reigen teaching Mob how to have sex
• Time passes and they don’t start a relationship so much as realize that they’re already in one

When Women Were Warriors

Requested characters: Maara, Tamras

I love these books so, so much, and Tamras and Maara’s relationship is such a beautiful epic romance. I knew I would love their relationship as soon as Tamras saved Maara’s life out of spite, and I was so happy to see the way they went from quietly disliking each other to sharing such deep love, understanding, and loyalty. I love how fiercely protective they are of each other, I love the lengths they’re willing to go to for each other, I love how they teach each other how to be more complete people, I love how they have this near-reverent love for each other yet are still able to see each others’ flaws. Maara is such a fascinating character to me - I love the fact that she has a ton of baggage and issues with emotional repression, and that her apparent assholery at the beginning of the story masks hidden depths and a heart of gold, while at the same time she’s a skilled warrior. I love Tamras too, especially her emotional intelligence and the way she wears her heart on her sleeve, in contrast to Maara.

General likes for this fandom: Body care, rituals, understanding someone better than they sometimes understand themselves, seeing someone’s flaws and loving them in spite of them, Maara being an Iron Woobie

Prompts:

• Anything from Maara’s point of view. When did she start falling for Tamras? Does she ask Namet for advice about Tamras the way Tamras turns to Gnith for advice about Maara? I’d love to see her pining for Tamras during their separation in book 3 as well!
• An AU that adds more elements of traditional fantasy. Maybe they fight a dragon? Or one of them is kidnapped by elves and the other has to get her back?
• Loyalty kink, armor kink, body worship
• The two of them sharing a lighthearted moment - teasing each other; sneaking away from Serious Duties in order to go into the woods and relax; cuddling turns to tickling turns to makeouts or sex
• Sickfic, whump, or hurt/comfort - I loved what canon gave us, but I'm always eager for more
• A missing scene from Tamras' apprenticeship or their time hiding in the forest
• I really liked the focus on spiritual experiences in the books and would love to see more of that, whether it's a marriage/partnership ceremony, more sex-with-feelings, or something tropey like the two of them swapping bodies, temporary soulbonding/sharing a consciousness, Tamras traveling back in time into Maara’s past, etc.
• Something set post-canon - I'd love anything with the two of them as old ladies, or with Tamras in her prime after she’s inherited Merin’s household
