Yuletide 2024 Letter

[prueturner]

Welcome, welcome, creator! Although these are the things I can think of for likes, you're welcome to create outside of these, I'll be pretty happy to receive fic/art of any of the fandoms I like, so long as it adheres to the DNWs. I can clarify if needed! Treats are welcome (and enabled)!

General Likes

Case fic | Episode tags/post-ep fic or moments in between episodes | 5 (or more) + 1 | Time loops, time travel, otherwise messing with the timelines | Looking into the future -- through visions, crystal balls, whatever | Amnesia (complete, only about specific moments, all characters, just one character--it's one of my favorite tropes) | Secrets (being revealed, keeping them, near misses) | Identity Porn | Mutual pining | Teamwork | Fluff | Hurt/Comfort, Sickfic, Whump | Angst with a happy ending | "Oh" moments/realizations | Alternate universe, canon divergence, what if? | epistolary work (especially unsent letters vs what was actually sent!) | power swaps, body swaps, role swaps | empathy (feeling each other's emotions) | character studies!! | established relationships | crushes to relationship | enemies to friends to lovers (i LOVE the friends part in between) | exploring certain aspects (fears, loves, hopes, hates) unwillingly (think where they go into everyone's dreams and have to find a way out, or they’re exploring a mindscape) | non-sexual intimacy | consequences for canon actions (injury leading to disability, relationships changing because somebody said something) | accidental baby acquisition

General DNWs

Explicit smut/NSFW (keep it PG-13 or fade to black, please!) | Underage or considerable age gap relationships (underage being sexual content or implied sexual content between minors, considerable age gap being 30+ years, excepting supernatural species/events or requested pairings) | Noncon/dubcon/rape/sexual assault (referring to characters being unwilling to participate in sexual/romantic activities. Canon mentions or backstory are acceptable, but please don’t go into detail). | Incest (including step-relationships and adopted relationships) | Significant power gaps (teacher/student, boss/employee) | Graphic or non-canon harm to animals | Transphobia/homophobia/racism/bigotry from requested characters or ships that differs from canon. | Major Original Characters (major in this case meaning taking up as much "screentime" as requested characters, exception: worldbuilding) | Branding or carving symbols into skin (tattooing is fine, as are non-graphic descriptions or passing mentions in fic) | Omegaverse/Mpreg | Genderbends | 1st/2nd person POV in non-epistolary | character bashing. in-character disliking of characters is fine, as is criticism of canonically questionable actions | vomit, scat, piss or watersports | mentions of Harry Potter or Harry Potter AUs |

Fandom Specific

Charmed (1998 TV Series)

Prue Halliwell

I miss Prue and I wish they could have either brought her back in the show or had her do some cameos, some implication that she was still helping her sisters out. Some ideas: Prue never died AUs or Prue comes back AUs. Some focus on what her life was like before finding out she was a Charmed One.

You are welcome to ship her however you like (except for incest). My preference (which you might be able to tell from my username) is PrueCole, but other directions are also okay!

Piper Halliwell

I will admit that I am a bit of a sucker for darker Piper stories. I love to see her emotions and things that she usually puts to the side for the sake of others, especially when that means hurting someone else’s feelings or making them do a bit of a double take. I would love to explore what Piper’s biggest changes over the show were, or have a few missing moments about just her life, what she does when she’s not saving innocents.

You are welcome to ship her however you like (except for incest). I do prefer Piper/Leo, but other directions are also okay!

Farscape

Zotoh Zhaan

Zhaan is one of my favorite characters and I especially love her dynamics with the three characters listed below. I think that people often underestimate how much of a leader Zhaan is, and how much she actually brings to the team. At the same time, it’s nice for her to be soft, to take care of people. I think we deserved more Zhaan interactions overall and I would love to explore all the different sides of her.

Rygel XVI

Rygel is so much fun, excellent comic relief, but I think he also has some solid emotional moments when he wants to: play up the comic relief or give me a different side, both are fine options!

Aeryn Sun

Aeryn my beloved <3 toss her into any scenarios, ship her with anybody that my DNWs allow, tell me about her happiest day, her saddest day, what she wanted to be when she grew up and how she has changed over the course of the show.

Pilot

Literally give me anything. What was Pilot’s life like pre-Moya? What if Pilot wasn’t Moya’s pilot? Are there people he misses, things he wants to do that have changed since he bonded with Moya? You are welcome to ship Pilot in any way you like.

Starman (1984)

In General

You are welcome to include their son/focus on that pregnancy if you would like to, but no graphic childbirth/miscarriage/stillbirth/abortion if so.Referring to the Starman as either Starman or Scott is okay, or if you want to give him a different human name that’s fine, too!

Fandom-specific DNW: detailed or graphic vivisection, aftermath is okay in a hurt/comfort fic.

Jenny Hayden/Scott Hayden | Starman:

They have my heart. I love how they grew closer over the movie and the idea of her afterwards going: okay this is my little freak, nobody touch him! is amazing to me. Some prompts/ideas: AUs where Starman/Scott stays, them talking about the differences between the worlds, a scenario where Jenny loses memories of how certain things work and has to be taught with Starman/Scott's (maybe incorrect) understanding, continuing a road trip together, cooking lessons, something from Starman's home planet is applicable to Earth, Jenny and Starman picking out a new name for him when they go to visit her family or people who knew the original Scott Hayden, Jenny bringing him home to her family, Starman missing his home planet.

Superman Returns (2006)

Clark Kent/Lois Lane/Richard White

Prefacing this with: although this is my preferred ship in this canon, you don’t have to write it! Any relationship combination of the characters is okay, so long as they’re not constantly getting into angsty fights. I think they would all balance each other out nicely, and it’s my personal headcanon that Richard would figure out Clark’s secret identity and then just assume that Lois already knew.

I would love fluff for them, identity discovery, swap everyone around and give them a slightly different backstory, mess with canon and chop up the timeline anyways you want!

Clark Kent

The question, “who am I?” seems to be key to Clark’s characterization in this movie and unfortunately he and everyone else involved have no idea how to answer it. Everyone expects Superman to be one way and Clark to be another, and he just manages to strike it down the middle (I think he ends up more on the Clark side)

Lois Lane

She kicks ass. Lois went through so much in the five years, and I’d like to explore her emotions on that, especially if you have her figuring out who Superman is. How does she deal with her son having superpowers? What’s a story that she was really interested in during the five years? How does she feel about her journalism

Richard White

He is a very emotionally intelligent person, this could be used to sort out a conflict or to highlight his own frustrations with others. Have him realize that he’s holding up a mirror for Superman/Clark, reconsider what his relationship with Lois looks like, etc. How much of his career is nepotism/family influence vs. what he actually likes to do?

Terminator (Movies)

John Connor & Kyle Reese

Father-son bonding, what if Kyle lived, what does their relationship in the future look like, does John ever think about telling Kyle the truth, did John ever reconsider sending Kyle back? What does future-life look like?

Sarah Connor/Kyle Reese

What if Kyle lived, missing scenes from the movies, does Sarah still dream about Kyle? What if their roles were reversed? I prefer fluff and angst to smut, a little bit of whump is also good stuff!

John Connor & Sarah Connor

Their earlier years, what was it like to have a kickass mom, what was it like to have to raise a son for war? I imagine Sarah talks to John like an adult pretty early on, what effects did that have on their relationship?

Mrs. Winterbourne

Connie Doyle

Her relationship with the Winterbournes, what she was thinking at the beginning of the movie vs. at the end, comparing herself to others, especially when she’s actually really brave on her own! How does she end up fitting in after the wedding?

Bill Winterbourne

Past romantic relationships? I imagine him as a bit of a romantic (not many people marrying that quickly outside of romcoms).

Grace Winterbourne

What was her life like before she married into the Winterbourne family? What parts of herself did she see in Connie?

Paco

Does Paco consider himself a father/uncle figure? I would love to see more of his relationship with Connie as “outsiders” to the family, especially if he can guide her.
