merryghoul | Yuletide letter 2020 (Reply)

Hi, Yuletide writer! I'm

hurt/comfort

alternate universes: canon-divergence, different profession AUs, different time period AUs, different setting AUs

Westworld (TV) fusions

angst

fluff

the friends to lovers trope (where applicable)

fantasy elements (magic, fantastic creatures, etc. al.)

sharing a bed

pretend couples

friends to lovers

enemies to lovers

enemies to friends to lovers

My favorite kinks include:

bloodplay

knifeplay

spanking

bondage and restraints

begging

femdom

sex toys and strap-ons

the "aliens made them do it" trope

the "sex pollen" trope

cunnilingus

tribadism

mutual masturbation

piercings and tattoos (either getting these types of body modifications or playing with these type of body modifications)

anal play (teasing the anus in some way)

worship (either erotic worshipping of a character or specific body part worship)

I have no problem with consensual, noncon, or dubcon porn. I like plotty porn and porn without plot fics equally.

DNWs
I would like to not see or read about the following:

character bashing

unrequested crossovers

characters getting pregnant with and/or raising original child characters (I’m cool with fics with children that already exist in the canon when applicable)

fics written in second person POV

Don't worry about following prompts to the letter or at all--I'm sure what you write for me will be amazing.

All Elite Wrestling
Joey Janela (All Elite Wrestling), Sonny Kiss (All Elite Wrestling)

Anything with these two would be great! I liked their video segment where they’re fighting off these guys ganging up on Sonny at a convenience store, and I wouldn’t mind adventures for these two in a similar vein. I also wouldn’t mind fic more tied into their matches on AEW and their battles against the Inner Circle. I also wouldn’t mind complete AUs, either. I’m happy with either slash or gen.

Homecoming (TV 2018)
Jackie (Homecoming TV), Audrey Temple (Homecoming TV)

Prompt contains second season spoilers.

I want to see Audrey and Jackie together, somehow. I found Jackie—when she was known as Alex—and her job as a fixer enthralling during the second season, and I’d love to see something set before the second season (at the very least) exploring Alex and how her job impacts her life with Audrey. Alternatively, I’d like a fic set after season two—how do Jackie and Audrey rebuild after the events of season two?

Mr. Robot (TV)
Darlene Alderson, Dominique DiPierro

I really wanted Darlene and Dominique to work out their issues and be together, but the ending of Mr. Robot left their relationship unresolved in favor of resolving individual arcs for the two of them. Is there a universe where the two of them could’ve been by Elliot’s bedside at the end of the series and/or in Croatia?

Alternatively, feel free to explore their relationship in canon. Or explore what could’ve happened differently. What could’ve happened if Darlene was more honest in their relationship? Could the two of them work out their issues after Dom was forced to join the Dark Army? Could they coexist in peace in a world without Elliot and fsociety?

Preacher (TV)
Jesse Custer (Preacher TV), Proinsias Cassidy (Preacher TV), Tulip O'Hare (Preacher TV)

Fandom-specific DNW: shipfic between Jesse and Tulip’s daughter and Jesse, Tulip, and/or Cassidy.

I ship Jesse/Tulip, Tulip/Cassidy, Jesse/Tulip/Cassidy, and Jesse/Cassidy. Gen is also cool with me.

These are various ideas for prompts that I’ve copied from earlier letters, but feel free to write whatever makes you happy, including (but not limited to) complete AU situations.

Tulip and Cassidy reluctantly helping Jesse in Annville. Or anything involving the three in Annville.

Something wacky that happened during a pit stop (between the first and second seasons). The crew have to get blood for Cassidy, or have to rescue Cassidy from someone that doesn't notice he's a vampire and have to rescue him from cold storage or the like. Pub crawl down time away from searching for God. Or anything that could've occurred on their road trip to New Orleans, or anything that happened in New Orleans.

What if Jesse allowed Tulip to become a vampire instead of hoping she can be revived at Angelville? How would their lives have changed?

Anything pre-series: Jesse and Tulip together—as kids, as a young couple, committing crimes together. Cassidy before he met Jesse and Tulip, with or without his son.

Anything set while Tulip and Jesse were trying to save Cassidy from the Grail.

Anything set while Tulip and Cassidy were looking for Jesse or trying to hold Humperdoo ransom.

Anything set between the main storyline and when Cassidy commits suicide: Tulip and Jesse raising their child. What do they tell her about Cassidy? Why does their daughter really, really look like Tulip? As originally the offspring of an angel and a demon, does she have Genesis-like powers, or is she mostly human?

What Cassidy did past the last time he saw Tulip and Jesse alive.

An AU situation where Cassidy is involved in Tulip, Jesse, and their daughter’s lives.

Westworld (TV)
Maeve Millay

Please, none of the following: Maeve/William, Maeve/her daughter (gen with William and/or Maeve’s daughter is okay); depowered and/or completely human versions of any of the Hosts.

I’m only requiring Maeve, but I’m not opposed to shipfic. I ship Maeve/Clementine and Maeve/Hector, but I’ll also be happy with gen.

Missing scenes and/or pre-show fic in canon and AUs (canon or not) are welcomed.

Below are prompts I’ve used for previous Yuletide letters, but you don’t have to use them.

What if Maeve found a way to revive Clementine instead of leaving her behind in Cold Storage, and Clementine joined her search party?

What if Clementine became as aware of her surroundings like Maeve was and assisted her in gaining control over the Mesa Hub?

What if Hector was programmed to specifically love Maeve from the start? How would Maeve react?

What if Maeve took Hector with her as she initially attempted to leave Westworld?

What if Hector and Maeve both survived and made it to the Valley Beyond? Would they live together as a family with Maeve’s daughter there?

Scenes from Maeve’s life in Escalante.

Scenes from her life with her "daughter" before William killed the two of them and Maeve was reprogrammed.

Scenes not shown in the show as the search party traveled through Westworld and Shogun World.

Maeve staying with her daughter until they reached the Valley Beyond with her search party, instead of being forced to have her protected by Ghost Nation.

What if, after meeting Akecheta and Wanahton before finding her daughter, she decided to join forces with Ghost Nation to find her daughter?
Hector/Ettore somehow escaping his control unit crushed by Charlotte, and he managed to escape Warworld.

What if Maeve was able to save, and maybe restore, Dolores’ memories?

What We Do in the Shadows (TV)
(Any: Colin Robinson, Guillermo de la Cruz, Laszlo Cravensworth, Baron Afanas, Jenna, Nadja, Nandor the Relentless, Shanice, Simon the Devious)

DNW: depowered and/or completely human versions of any supernatural characters.

I was too shy to ask for this more general request last year, but I’m happy with any story you can write with the characters in this tag set. I feel there are so many stories canonically mentioned in the What We Do in the Shadows TV show that can be explored more. I’m also up for any AUs you can come up with for this canon, just as long as the supernatural characters stay supernatural. As for ships, I’m down with any pairing you feel like writing. I’ll also be happy with gen. I feel most anything goes with this canon.
