Dear Author Letter (Yuletide 2021)

[silverfoxflower]

Hello dearest creator!

 

AO3/Tumblr/Discord: greyduckgreygoose

 

Thank you so much for writing my request this year! I apologize about the lateness of this letter, but life has been, to say the least, quite hectic this year. But I'm quite easy to please and I'm sure I will adore whatever you have in store for me :) The following prompts will lean massively towards stories focusing on shipping. However, I am always eager to read gen, found family, character studies and world-building fics! 

Favorite tropes (gen):

• Kitten!fic (either one or multiple characters being turned into kittens, or always being cats)
• Found family
• World-building (particularly societal structures)
• Comedic misunderstandings
• Crack and humor
• Mutual pining
• Period pieces: particularly Medieval, Regency and Victorian/Gaslamp
• Child soldiers/human weapons learning how to regain their humanity
• Fairy tales
• Twist endings
• Ghost stories
• Non-european fantasy settings

Favorite tropes (shipping):

• Arranged marriage/relationship of convenience to lovers
• Loyalty-based relationships (knights, bodyguards, mafia au) 
• Relationships which begin with a large power imbalance (age gap, contractual relationships for protection etc.) which grows more equitable (or not)
• Not being able to forget a one night stand/brief fling/almost relationship and reconnecting several years down the road
• "Just one night" scenarios (before going off to war or an execution, pre-agreement not to meet again etc.)
• Experience gap (very experienced partner/inexperienced partner), sex and relationship-wise
• A/B/O and D/s universes
• One character is inexperienced with sex/dating and the other character offers to be their guide (basically "practice dating/sex") but it turns to love
• Casual sex/FWB turns to love
• Flirty character/oblivious character
• Flirty character/flustered character
• Self-hatred/self-doubt prevents progression of relationship
• Can't Stop Thinking About (seeing other character naked/seeing other character's porn/seeing other character with another love interest)
   

Favorite tropes (NSFW):

• • Bondage
  • Sex toys
  • Overstimulation/multiple orgasms
  • One partner under an aphrodisiac, other(s) not
  • Feral/animalistic - biting, possessiveness, scent kink
  • Porn with feelings 
  • Sex for reasons (ostensibly) other than desire 
  • Crying
  • Size difference
  • Dirty talk
  • D/s with male subs
  • Dub-con/sex that starts as obligatory/reluctant for both parties (fuck or die scenarios, consummating a marriage of convenience etc.)
  • Sounding
  • Double penetration
  • Prostate orgasms
  • Pegging
  • Humiliation/embarrassment
  • Hair-pulling
  • Objectification
  • Body worship
  • Wet dreams/repeated sex dreams about object of longing

DNWs:

• Villanizing female characters/canon romantic interests
• Incest
• Graphic non-con or sexual abuse of female characters (references are fine)
• Femsub
• Cheating
• On-again, off-again " relationships
• Sexism/racism/homophobia/transphobia etc., if references are necessary to the plot that's fine, but I prefer the story didn't revolve around it
• Mpreg/pregnancy
• Kidfic where characters parent OC kid (characters turned into kids are ok)
• Beastiality/monsterfucking (with non-human monsters)
• Whump/Gore/Torture porn/permanent consensual body modification (moderate violence/horror okay for plot)
• MCD or hopeless endings

Fandom 1:  The Elduin and Donestan Chronicles - Velvet Toucher 
Characters: Eldruin, Donestan

 

In line with the original webcomic, it's gotta be Elduin/Donestan. I would love a focus on the dynamic of their relationship, since Elduin is very cold/entitled/haughty and Donestan is quite loyal/adoring. How can they maneuver a healthy relationship from such an unequal beginning?

• My massive want would be a continuation of the first arc of the webcomic. Where will their story go from there? What will their next adventure be? How will their relationship develop and what will challenge it?
• H/C: Hit that loyalty kink hard by having Donestan serve and defend Elduin, perhaps getting hurt in the process? Donestan learning about the abuse Elduin was subjected to and getting extremely outraged/sad?
• Fluff: Elduin's haughty facade cracking around Donestan and acting soft/needy around him. Or Donestan's POV on how he adores Elduin.
• Pure smut: Elduin topping for the first time and being gentle with a virginal Donestan. Kinky sex with bondage/toys. Donestan worshipping Elduin's body and bringing him to multiple orgasms/overstimulation. 
• AUs: A/B/O or D/s, soulmates, I also think an arranged marriage/marriage of convenience AU might work well for them? 

Fandom 2: The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf (2021)  
Characters: Luka, Filavandrel, Vesemir

• No need to write all three of the characters if you want to focus on Luka/Vesemir or Filavandrel/Vesemir (or hell, Luka/Filavandrel if you want to get real wild)
• Luka is just so fun ... please give me some backstory on this sadly underutilized character, or a day-on-the-Path in his endless search for some good D. Or a fix-it fic for the ending :(
• Vesemir being the "bad boy" and Filavandrel not knowing why he keeps falling into bed with him 
• Case fic with a bickering buddy-cop dynamic between any/all of the requested characters

Fandom 3: Astra Lost in Space (Manga)  

Characters: Luca Esposito, Ulgar Zweig

• I just LOVE Luca ... I added Ulgar because I thought Luca/Ulgar had some real chemistry/possibility but feel free to go Luca-centric
• Luca's life after his space adventure? Coming to terms with his gender presentation/identity?
• More of Luca teasing Ulgar by disrobing in front of him/acting shy.
• Luca/Ulgar PWP - I'd prefer any sexual contact to occur after the events of Lost in Space (when they're older). Just playful, sweet exploration, some friends-to-lovers and Luca drawing Ulgar out of his angsty shell
• Ulgar being protective of Luca, quietly adoring him and trying his best to hide it
• Ulgar hiding his pining with gruff silence, Luca hiding his pining with jokes, the rest of the crew playing matchmaker?
• How does Luca feel about Ulgar going up in space again (leaving him)? AU where Luca goes with him?
