Letter to Author - Yuletide 2017

[twizzle_eeyore]

Optional details letter for Yuletide 2017
AO3: twizzle

Hello Author! Thank you for signing up for the exchange, sorry I got this letter done after assignments went out but as they only came out today I hope this hasn't been too much of a problem. Here I've put some ideas in case you're at a loss or would like some prompts - but if you have your own idea and it avoids my DNWs, roll with it! This is meant to be helpful, not awkward :)

I'm happy with gen fics and friendship fics, as well as shippy fics and sexy fics. Smut is great but by no means required! I'm happy with festive and Christmassy fics, but equally happy with fics set at other times of the year or not festive/celebratory. I love fluff, but I also love angst - even if it's festive, it doesn't have to be happy!

If you go the smut route, things I really like are biting, leaving marks, posessiveness, bdsm (especially powerplay, bondage, pain play), voyeurism, rough sex, semi-public sex, forced deepthroat.

There are a few ships I see as being only/primarily non/dub-con - I've indicated this where appropriate.

General Do Not Wants - these apply to every fandom, and all requests: first or second person POV, incest, underage, pregnancy (magic-induced fel-spawn is exempt from this), bestiality, necrophilia, vomit/piss/shit in a sexual context, anal without lube, ass-to-mouth/vagina, genderswap, mundane AUs, zombies, vore

Most of my requests I'm happy for other characters to be featured, and do not require all the characters I've requested to be in it. Ideas that include characters I haven't requested are in italics.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

EDIT 12/10: I've added this letter to Crueltide and Yuleporn, links go to my comments.

Fandom 1 - Warcraft (2016)

Characters: Medivh, Khadgar, Lothar, Gul'dan

My ships: Medivh/Khadgar, Khadgar/Lothar, Khadgar/Gul'dan (non/dub-con), Medivh/Lothar, Medivh/Lothar/Khadgar, Medivh/Gul'dan (non/dub-con from the POV of the part of Medivh that's not posessed)
Ships I like including other characters: Medivh/Llane, Medivh/Lothar/Llane, Llane/Lothar, (Llane/Taria, Taria/Garona), Garona/Lothar

Extra DNWs: suicide

I'd be happy with a story that doesn't include all my requested characters - I'd also be happy with a story that includes characters I haven't requested (as well as ones I have), but would like the focus to be on the ones I have.

If you want to go the smut route, I don't mind who tops/bottoms for most pairings (and indeed deviating from the usual can be very interesting) but for Khadgar/Gul'dan I see Khadgar bottoming, and with Medivh/Gul'dan I see Gul'dan bottoming. If you want to bring in power exchange, I don't see Medivh submitting to Khadgar, or Llane submitting to Medivh - and I think Medivh would be a brat to Llane.

Festive Ideas:
The game has the "Feast of Winter Veil" as an end-of-year holiday, with gift giving, trees, and "Greatfather Winter" (for the Alliance, a Dwarf dressed like Santa in Ironforge). I would imagine this would carry to the film verse.
- Lothar taking Khadgar to visit Greatfather Winter for the first time
- Lothar, Medivh, (and Llane) as young men celebrating together before Medivh shut himself away/had his coma in Karazhan
- Medivh being a grump when Khadgar or Lothar tries to decorate Karazhan/make him do something festive
- Khadgar being given a gift and being awed because he didn't get any while he was with the Kirin Tor
- discussions of what gift to get people (eg Medivh asking Lothar for help about what to get Khadgar, Lothar asking Taria what to get Llane, someone reacting to a gift from Garona that's inappropriate becasue of different customs)
- Khadgar being amazed by the festivities in Stormwind
- Medivh explaining the holiday to Gul'dan, or using it as a distraction to get Gul'dan to capture people/land while people are celebrating and distracted
- smutty presents

On another hand, Dun Morogh is very cold and snowy, and is the zone Ironforge is in - so a less festive but still wintery setting is easy to find there.
- snowball fights/snowman building
- snuggling/fucking for warmth

But it would be cold in Stormwind too (but probably not down by the dark portal), so frosty walks and hot drinks and huddling by fires could be carried there.

Also, Medivh and Khadgar have access to frost magic, which could bring the snow inside/direct snow and ice somewhere/prank people/sexytimes.

Non-Festive Ideas:
- Khadgar practicing spells, maybe with help of someone else (as a target or mentor)
- Gul'dan captures Khadgar
- posessed!Medivh manipulates Khadgar

Fandom 2 - Peter Pan (2003)

Characters: Captain Hook

Ships I like including other characters: Hook/adult!Wendy, Hook/Mrs Darling, Hook/Mr Darling, Hook/Mrs Darling/Mr Darling

Extra DNWs: character death

Two things I really loved about this version of Hook are his hook and how it attached to his arm, and the theme that he was "old, alone, done for" (and the contrast with how happy Peter was with Wendy). I also love that he remains a villain: He has soft moments, but they're undercut by bitterness; he's a gentleman, but he has ulterior motives.

If you want to go the smut route, I'd prefer masturbation, m/f, or Hook topping for m/m; with Hook as the initiator and quite aggressive sex.

Festive Ideas:
- Hook with a general 'bah humbug' attitude to Christmas, annoyed with how the time of year makes his loneliness seem sharper, and how he's surrounded by crew but is still so very alone
- Hook secretly REALLY into Christmas, but not wanting to show it to his crew becasue he has a reputation to uphold and Christmas is a time of goodwill and frivolity which doesn't really go with pirating
- Hook reminiscing about better Christmasses he's had in the past (maybe ones with friends/lovers)
- adult!Wendy wishing to share Christmas cheer and somehow returning to Neverland to share it with Hook

Non-Festive Ideas:
- Hook imagining himself in that dance in the woods Wendy and Peter did, with a woman of his choice (imagined, from his past, or adult!Wendy)
- Hook trying to prove he's not old/alone/done for - maybe he leaves Neverland to go whoring, or brings someone from his past to Neverland to be with him, maybe Neverland being the magical place it is constructs someone for him to ~romance for one evening

Fandom 3 - Quacks

Characters: William Agar, Caroline Lessing, Robert Lessing, John Sutton

My ships: William/Caroline, Caroline/Robert, William/John, William/Caroline/Robert
Ships I like including other characters: Dupont/Robert (dub-con), John/Dupont (dub-con), John/Rosie (I think her name was Rosie, I'll have to double check - the woman he dictated his drug diary to)

Extra DNWs: non-con, character death

I'd be happy with a story that doesn't include all my requested characters - I'd also be happy with a story that includes characters I haven't requested (as well as ones I have), but would like the focus to be on the ones I have.

If you want to go the smut route, I see Caroline as being in control of the sex (and not afraid to go eg 'no- that's wrong, do it this way instead'). Other than that, I don't think there'd be anything too rough with any pairing (except dub-con with Dupont), and I don't have a preference for who tops or bottoms. Because of when it's set however, I have a preference for non-anal sex, as I see these characters as being quite aware and wary of the illegality of sodomy.

Festive Ideas:
- Christmas at the Lessing household - what would Caroline and Robert disagree about? Who would do what? Who would they invite (or not invite?)? Would Robert carve the meat with as much fanfare and flourish as he does his surgery?
- Robert trying to show Caroline how much he loves her through awful presents and Christmassy gestures
- William unwinding from spending Christmas with his family/Mina by taking a lot of drugs (and having sex?) with John
- Caroline unwinding from and complaining about Christmas with Robert, with William
- John spending Christmas with Rosie becasue they both have nowhere better to be and finding taking drugs and fucking is a good way to spend Christmas.

Non-Festive Ideas:
- Robert needing more tips from William about how to show his love to Caroline
- Robert 'trying' to support Caroline in her wish to open the women-only clinic
- Robert realising Caroline really does make quite a fetching man
- Caroline having adventures dressed as a man
- Caroline teaching Robert how female anatomy works in regards to sex to help their sex life be more fulfilling - maybe it helps as it lets him look at it objectively, maybe it doesn't because Victorians, or maybe it doesn't becasue he gets distracted in outrage of Caroline not only knowing all of this from a medical pov but being so openly brazen as to talk about it.
- Dupont and John negotiating John working for him (sex as negotiation? As part of payment? Part of working for him?)
- Dupont and Robert's rivalry making them threaten and one up each other until they reach a point they can't back down from (hatesex woo!)

Fandom 4 - Suicide Squad (2016)

Characters: Enchantress, June Moon, Harleen Quinzel, Joker

My ships: Harley/Joker (inc dub-con), June Moon/Enchantress (dub/non-con), Enchantress/Harley (dub-con), June/Harley
Ships I like including other characters: June Moon/Rick Flag, Joker/Harley/other

Extra DNWs: suicide (I'm aware of the irony)

I'd be happy with a story that doesn't include all my requested characters - I'd also be happy with a story that includes characters I haven't requested (as well as ones I have), but would like the focus to be on the ones I have.

Joker/Harley is an unhealthy relationship, but she seems to have romanticised it in this movie - if you're writing this pairing for me, please don't make it all sunshine and rainbows unless it's clear that's Harley's twisted view of reality.

If you want to go the smut route, I see Harley/Joker as being very rough and physical, the Enchantress and Joker being tops, and Harley topping when putting on a show for the Joker.

Festive Ideas:
- Harley imagining her perfect Christmas with the Joker as her doting partner (and how it contrasts to her actual Christmas)
- Joker 'giving' Harley to someone as a Christmas present, with the aim of watching them have sex
- Harley shopping for the perfect outfit to wear for Christmas for the Joker
- The Enchantress appearing and ruining June's Christmas

Non-Festive Ideas:
- Harley pledges loyalty to the Enchantress instead of using her considering it as a distraction
- June seeks out Harley for mutual support as they're both women with a destructive, controlling influence over their lives
