Fluffy Treats Please!
Fluffy Tags
Alternate Universe - Romantic Fairytale Retelling – Exactly what it sounds like. If you want to go vaguely Tudor/Regency/Victorian influences, I am here for it.
Canon Divergence AU – I’m a fan of this in general, obviously here I’m specifically here for how it makes the fluffy pairing possible.
Character A had a secret admirer that keeps delivering gifts but doesn’t know it’s Character B – Obviously please no stalker vibes, but I like the whole curiosity about who is sending the gifts and trying to catch them in the act.
Fake/Pretend Relationship – Here for the fake to real pipeline, possibly faking a relationship in the moment to convinvce an unwanted hitter-on to STOP but then it just grows.
Leaving Notes in Books – Whether it starts intentionally or accidentally, I love this sneaky way to communicate.
Not The Pair Everyone Expected – I am a sucker for the couples that don’t seem obvious or seem to be extra “opposites-attract”.
Picking Out Clothes Together – There’s an intimacy to this I really enjoy.
Romantic Fluff – Pretty wide open here, but I like to lean towards the romantic/intimate – quiet moments on dark nights, stealing moments alone, people just being romantic.
Your Partner Draping Their Jacket Over Your Shoulders - I generally prefer this for het couples, but the whole feeling of his warmth/smelling cologne etc on wearing the jacket. Really love it with formal dress but unexpected cold/rain is good too. Especially if you then get to notice how he looks in shirtsleeves/tie.
Vacation – Enjoying being alone on a romantic vacation is the vibe we want here.
Perfect Gift for Your Partner – I like both ends of this – the hunting for the perfect gift for your partner, your partner getting the gift.
Some Broken Things Can't Be Fixed Only Maintained – I’m a major SNW fan and S2E8 nails this about PTSD. It doesn’t ever get fixed, you just get to a point where it’s managed/maintained.
Telling a child a fairytale; it's based on canonical events/backstory – I don’t know who suggested this but I LOVE it, especially if the kids think it’s a fairytale and the couple can have that moment of connection.
Enjoying a day on the beach – Beaches are nice on sunny days, and when you’re all alone at night…
Established Relationship – I like the ease, the comfort, the intimacy.
Flower Crowns – I just like them. Making them, wearing them, kissing someone when you put it on them, having to pick up the pieces of the crown after…
Only a true love’s kiss can break the spell or curse – Exactly what it sounds like.
Standing together at the end of the world – There’s no one I’d rather do this with than you…
cuddling in front of a fire – the fire warmth against the cool evening, the sounds and smell, the feeling that you could be the only ones in the whole world…
Feelings Realization – I like the slow onset where you just slide in OR the sudden thunderbolt…
First Kiss – Exactly what it sounds like.
Seeing each other for the first time after a long time apart – That little hesitation before you throw yourself at each other… I am here for it.
Found or Chosen Family – I love these.
A Brief Fluffy Respite in Hard Times – Exactly what it sounds like, that short sweet moment that will be gone in an instant, so you had better enjoy it while you can.
Seashells – Random, but I like them.
Thank god you're alive/we're alive! Sex – Exactly what it sounds like, a little bit of never let you go.
Thank god you're alive/we're alive! kissing - Exactly what it sounds like, a little bit of never let you go.
Watching the stars together – A nice quiet private moment under the stars, laying on the ground optional.
dancing in the moonlight – Exactly what it sounds like – intimate, private, romantic interlude from the crush in the ballroom, and a touch of naughtiness in sneaking out.
Dancing Lessons – The pair learning together, taking advantage of some private moments.
Finding Joy After Hardship or Trauma – Different from the brief moment, this is more lasting. This is moving on.
Star Crossed Lovers Who End Up Happy – Exactly what it sounds like.
Resolved Mutual Pining – Stop pining and start kissing.

MY ID REALLY LOVES TREATS!
Tags I Like
Since this exchange is all about iddy things, I like to talk about the tags up front.
Other Tags I Like (Not Nominated but Nice to Have)
( Optional Tags I Like )
My general preferences are here, but I will save you the trouble and copy in my Star Wars section:
Legends | Stackpole | Zahn | Didn’t we just leave this party? | ROTJ | Rogue One | Kenobi | Lego SW | Wedge Antilles | Rogue Squadron | Mara Jade | Witches of Dathomir | Biggs Darklighter
So, I'm a Star Wars fan who's a little sad that the Extended Universe got handwaved away - I really loved Timothy Zahn and Michael Stackpole, and my requests tend to reflect that. I am a Legends girl at heart, and you can’t go wrong if you write me something that belongs in either a Timothy Zahn book or one of Stackpole’s Rogue Squadron books. Please don't refer to anything that happened after the godawful Vector Prime and switch to Del Rey. No Yuuzhan Vong, no Mara Jade gets weird wasting disease, no Teneniel getting put in the freezer.
I'm also not a very active Star Wars fan. I’m not into the games, am not reading the new EU stuff, so don’t write anything that requires a lot of homework to GET.
However, I'm also a Star Wars fan who thought Rogue One totally and completely rocked it out of the park. Loved it loved it loved it! Went and saw it in the theaters like 4 times, including giving up a free day to go see it on a BIG screen. It’s so good. The novelization was good too. I’m a fan of Everyone Lives/Krennic dies AUs or Some People Live/Some People Die.
I love the original three (ROTJ is my favorite).
I enjoyed the sequels (although that like is dwindling more every time I see a stupid handwave plot post) but didn’t LOVE them, especially after the ridiculously evident fact that they DIDN’T HAVE A PLAN.
I am NOT a fan of the prequels. I wanted to like them, but I just couldn’t get past Phantom Menace and the stupidity of traveling around with young Obi-Wan Kenobi and falling for Anakin.
I’m not familiar with the animated SW shows, and my ignoring the prequels means I also missed all the “Jedi don’t have emotional attachments” which maybe should have gone down as a bad idea.
I’m not familiar with most of the Disney shows BUT I did enjoy Kenobi quite a bit. I loved Tala and little Leia and Beru.
I did enjoy the zaniness of the Star Wars Lego Holiday special, so feel free to play off that.
My heart is with the original 3 (and Rogue One, now that it exists) and the "waved away" Extended Universe. The more they make me feel like it requires me to do homework, the less interested I am.
I'm also not really a Luke fan. Give me Han and Wedge any day of the week. And maybe Ben Kenobi.
Or an AU where Biggs Darklighter becomes the most famous pilot from Tatooine. And maybe find some way to make Rey a Kenobi descendant…? I really wanted her to be a Kenobi descendant. I still want her to be a Kenobi somehow.

I would LOVE treats.
( The Prompts to Build On... )
My general preferences are here.
So I really love this challenge. It gives me a chance to step outside the sort of thing I normally write, and it gives me the opportunity to get some nice ghost encounter stories and/or a mythology fix.
General: Try not to make everything too dark - some darkness in the progress of the story is fine, but don't end it that way. Bittersweet or slightly creepy "do I want to turn on the lights before I go up" is always good.
I also LOVE crossovers. If you want to smash a few of the prompts together, I would be A-OK with that. I'd also be cool with you dragging in characters from other fandoms (Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys investigate the Ocean-Born Mary house. Go for it.)
NO: unrequested mundane AU | female characters in fridges | non-con | violent dub-con | graphic violence | gore | graphic sexual violence | cruelty/death to animals | cruelty/death to children | requested character death | unrelieved grimdark | bigotry by the good guys | first or second POV | reader fic | ABO | soulbonds | wildly OOC in a non-cracky way

Crossover Fandom
Adam | He-Man (He-Man MOTU 1983)/Castaspella (She-Ra 1985)
Allura (Voltron Lion Force 1984) & Sarek (TOS)
Romelle (Voltron Lion Force 1984) & La'an Noonien-Singh (SNW)
Marlena Glenn (He-Man MOTU 1983) & La'an Noonien-Singh (SNW)
Marlena Glenn (He-Man MOTU 1983) & Christopher Pike (SNW)
Marlena Glenn (He-Man MOTU 1983) & Amanda Grayson (TOS)
Adam | He-Man (He-Man MOTU 1983) & La'an Noonien-Singh (SNW)
So these could all be played super straight and serious or cracky.
Adam/Castaspella – I just love the vibe these two have with each other, how Adam doesn’t have to hide on Eternia.
Voltron & Star Trek: I just feel like this could be interesting. For Allura & Sarek, something diplomatic? For Romelle & La’an, I feel like these two have a lot in common (trauma, anyone) and could be fun.
So in case it’s not obvious, Queen Marlena in He-Man is my favorite character AND she’s an astronaut and she would probably enjoy meeting this crew. Marlena and Amanda could trade some advice? Do they know who she is? Is Starfleet from a different Earth? Just roll with it.

Nyota Uhura & La'an Noonien-Singh (ST:SNW)Fanfiction
Worldbuilding: Life on United Earth Fleet Enterprise (ST:SNW)
Worldbuilding: What Happened in the Alternate Timeline before S1E10 (ST:SNW)
So of all the new Trek things, this is my favorite. I love La'an way more than I thought I would, especially with Kirk. Also a diehard Pike/Number One shipper.
More in the letter!
I'm current on Season 2, and very interested in Season 2 specific stories! Especially what happens after To Be Continued. WHAT DO YOU MEAN “TO BE CONTINUED”?
I am personally on the SNW doesn’t have to lead to our TOS train – I am totally okay with assuming it spins out/plays out differently. If you want to get inspired by TOS episodes, go right ahead.
In retrospect, I think La’an & Khan are misplaced in the tag set (also in Star Trek crossover) but go ahead and put him in.
La’an & Sam: Interested in how they interact. Play it into La’an wanting to weasel out more info about James or not. Also, when does Sam realize he is never getting away from little brother?
Erica & M'Benga & Sam & La'an: What happens after the end of S2E10? – So once we realized what had happened, my only thought was how the Gorn captured themselves the wrong group of people… How does that work out for them? Feel free to include people developing coping mechanisms that aren’t the healthiest (if M’Benga channeled the Elysian Kingdom I would be there for that). Obviously want this crew to live.
La’an & M’Benga – Interested in how these 2 are working through their trauma together and separately, love the sparring partner bit. Also, La’an totally knows what went down in S2E8. And she understands the final line of that episode. Some broken things can’t be fixed, only maintained. That’s a super good take on the PTSD issue, honestly – as a veteran.
La'an/James: AU or continuation of what we’ve seen – after all we know Carol and Kirk don’t work out…. I lean towards the AU though. Interested in seeing how his Tarsus 4 background plays in. What Happened in the Alternate Timeline before S1E10 would also be a great place for La’an and James to hook up again…
La'an /UEF James: I would be very into a S2E3 AU where he does not die and comes back with her (feel free to play on the scene she imagines in S2 E9 where he is holding out his hand because damn intensity I’ll take him!). Maybe they aren’t quite finished yet?
Pike/Una: I ship these two so hard. I am a lifelong shipper for these two. Hook me up with some thing good – sweet and/or sexy! I’ve been a Pike/Number One shipper since the first time I saw The Cage (in the 90s, I think) and I want to see how these two would play it. I’m totally here for an AU after the comet episode (they’re so close why didn’t you kiss?). They need a clue brick.
La'an & Nyota: Ladies night out or badass mission time? Either/both
Any combining any and all of these is just fine!
So let’s talk about Season 2 peeps! The Hippocratic Oath is fuzzy on the subject of kneecaps and throats! Yay Una is back! No, they’re still pushing the Pike/Batel thing (I am not into it, it is not my thing, why does she never eat the fabulous food?). La’an and star-crossed doomed time-travel love. I fly the ship (on Alpha shift). Why is Spock eating bacon? Why is Sam Kirk suddenly missing from the cleanest science lab in history? We finally meet the real Kirk! Kirk meets Spock (and Uhura doesn’t know this is her life for the next 50 years). Cartoon crossover! M’Benga gets away with murder (and can we please leave the PTSD crew ALONE?). All systems stable! Why are we singing? Who’s going to be Gorn chow? WHAT DO YOU MEAN “TO BE CONTINUED”?
I am personally on the SNW doesn’t have to lead to our TOS train – I am totally okay with assuming it spins out/plays out differently. If you want to get inspired by TOS episodes, go right ahead. I kind of wish that they had called the Gorn something else, because I feel like it would make things stronger.
Just inject it into my veins. After sitting out several of the newer shows, I dove into this one and please just give me more more more. I think the things I REALLY want to know is, what all was happening in that alternate timeline before we got dropped into it.
If you’d like to play with the La’an meets Khan in Space Seed with La’an/James, I am here for it.
I really love this new show, although I am wondering about continuity but NOT REALLY CARING I LOVE THIS CREW.
I haveread the comic, it was okay.
So this is obviously the one I have the most thoughts on, but don’t feel weird if we didn’t match on it. I’ve been creating for this one quite a bit lately, so it’s just on my mind more.

Worldbuilding: Eternia makes contact with Earth (MOTU 1983)
Worldbuilding: Earth Space Rover lands on Eternia (MOTU 1983)
Worldbuilding: Constellations of Eternia (MOTU 1983)
Crazy, I know - He-Man in an outer space exchange...except it totally fits here. If you didn't guess by the Crossover tag, I'm a huge Queen Marlena fan.
More in letter!
So I was sort of expecting to have to defend this one, because He-Man and Space Swap? But the facts are pretty clear.
Marlena Glenn is an astronaut from Earth who crashes on Eternia, falls for the king, and never goes home. Oh yeah, and her kids are superheroes.
There is an episode where Eternia and Earth make contact, but it's not the best. So give me a better one! Maybe some sort of rover/probe/space machine ends up on Eternia (yes, I would totally love a happy ending for a little space machine whose battery is running low and it's dark) and this leads to them making contact? I'd love to see Marlena at least visit home, or have vistors from home, or somehow open up communications.
I especially like the little space machines. Man-at-Arms could fix and improve it! I would also love the idea that Earth has been looking for Marlena. I'd also love a hint of the two of them sharing mechanical skills?
Or if you want to go a different route, what constellations do the Eternians see? What are their stories? (Maybe one could be the Tiger? or the Champion? or the Falcon? or Duncan's Hammer?) Is Sol visible from Eternia?
The space corridors, one of the really useful plot devices that...could have been used to send a young astronaut home? Is there one that can reach Earth? Pretty open here. Or is there a reason the Sorceress never offers that up?
I am a Man-At-Arms/Sorceress shipper.
I have seen Revelations but not the reboot, so if you want to play on that I am in. Obviously the space machine would be more of a probe than a rover, but that is Opportunity focused. I'm good with something more introspective/romantic with the constellations one, and I would enjoy seeing Marlena get a message from home or even the chance to visit.

Ael t'Rllaillieu (Rihannsu) & Christopher Pike (SNW)
Ael t'Rllaillieu (Rihannsu) & La'an Noonien-Singh (SNW)
More in letter but I love characters connecting across time and am 100000% down with cracky handwaved mechanics.
Crusher & Bones – While I have received a lovely story where he is an instructor at the Academy, I’d love a story where these two are being badasses together at their primes. I would prefer she gets sent back in time.
Elizabeth & Una (& La’an if you like) – The no fun badasses get together thru time travel. Bonus points if you work in Mac/Shelby and Una/Chris.
M’Benga & M’Benga – Versions of the same character? Relations, perhaps?
For either of the 2 Jack Crusher crossovers, anything goes?
La’an & Khan: So I would totally be down for a story where La'an is on the ship when Khan gets picked up. Up to you if we slide the event forward to Pike's time or have her on the ship, but I think it would be really interesting. I’d really be interested in how La’an handles this. Obviously there would be no BS trying to figure out who they were, whether they could trust them, but how would he react to her? I find it really intriguing. La’an being on the Enterprise when they pick up Khan (who’s clearly a known baddie) – how does that go? Maybe they don’t drop him off at Ceti Alpha V? Also sounds like a good opportunity for some La’an/James?
All SNW crossovers involving Ael: I want to see how she would interact with this crew. Obviously the timelines don’t add up but I am totally here for crazy time-travel multiverse, and if you pick Spock, contemplating how he is different from the Spock she knows is totally welcome.
Vulcan Academy Murders & IDIC Epidemic Novels - Jean Lorrah
T'Pina/Sendet (Lorrah Novels)
T'Mir/Daniel Corrigan (Lorrah Novels)
Spock/Nyota Uhura (Lorrah Novels)
Amanda Grayson & T'Mir (Lorrah Novels)
Daniel Corrigan & Amanda Grayson (Lorrah Novels)
These books are a total guilty pleasure for me, but I love the reactions and how the VSA comes off.
More in letter.
Definitely here for what happens next or an AU where Sendet will NOT give up. (I don't want them to end up together but adventure times!). My teen and I are actually reading this now. I’d love an AU where Sendet continues to be trouble (I didn’t want a story solely focusing on Beau/T’Pina but feel free to let him apply himself to solving that problem!) for T’Pina.
Daniel/T’Mir – I’d love to see more of them post-canon. Do they decide to have children? How does that work? Their relationship with Amanda, together or separately?
I am interested in how either Daniel or T'Mir might use Amanda as a sounding board/friend... and maybe some pondering about how other Vulcans of her acquaintance might not marry Vulcans...
I’d be very interested in how Amanda relates to either of these two. She and Corrigan have very similar experiences, but what sort of friendship does she build with T’Mir?
Spock/Nyota – How might their relationship look after the events of the book?
Apologies for the lateness!

Fairy Tail
Cana Alberona/Laxus Dreyar
Laxus Dreyar/Mirajane Strauss
Levy McGarden/Gajeel Redfox
Evergreen/Elfman Strauss
I love the shippiness in all of these. Sweet or sexy is all good.
Laxus/Mirajane - totally sneaking around
Cana/Laxus - fling
Evergreen/Elfman - get a room
Levy/Gajeel - my Fairy Tail OTP
I don’t have a ton more to say. Evergreen & Mira could be interesting on a mission, but anything is good. But with Ever “not dating” Mira’s brother and Mira “possibly” sneaking around with one of Ever’s besties, it could be entertaining. Anthing sexy/sweet for Levy/Gajeel. A Cana/Laxus fling/one-night sounds very plausible.
Baby-Sitters Club - Ann M. Martin
Maureen Spencer McGill/Richard Spier (Baby-Sitters Club - Martin)
I just really am intrigued by the idea of these two hooking up instead of Richard/Sharon. Here for getting together, meet cutes, established relationship, adult extracurriculars...
I’ve asked about this one before. I am totally part of the part of BSC fandom more invested in the parents and wondering if Stoneybrooke is like Peyton Place. Bonus points if Elizabeth is helping fix them up! I’ve received a lovely story for FIAB 2023 about Richard being a ball of anxiety and I’d be down for either of them experiencing jitters. I’ve never been a Dawn fan, TBH, or any of the Schaefer crew. But what kind of tensions do we have in the group if these two hook up? If they got married, how would the “Mary Anne & Stacey are stepsisters” play out – as opposed to bringing in an outsider, it crosses the 2 main pairs of besties)? Do they have a meet cute? Did Elizabeth engineer it? Does Maureen need to make the first move? Is there some angst along the way? Do they get down?
Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold
Delia Koudelka & Tej Arqua Vorpatril
Duv Galeni/Delia Koudelka
Duv Galeni & Tej Arqua Vorpatril
Ludmilla "Drou" Droushnakovi/Clement Koudelka
Ivan Vorpatril/Tej Arqua Vorpatril
So I clearly have a favorite character in later LMB and it is Tej, closely followed by Duv/Delia. Interested in sweet/sexy for her and Ivan. How might Cordelia like her newest "daughter"? Or Aral for that matter? How does Falco deal with them in the long run? I loved the interactions with Alys (and Simon). Do she and Laisa bond over "Barrayarans!"
Duv/Delia - love getting together and dealing with prejudice, interacting with Drou/Kou and others
How might Tej deal with each half of that couple?
Drou/Kou - a little flashback to younger days?
I lied, I don’t really have more to add. I would love to see more of the Vorpatril dynamics. Winterfair reunion anyone? Give me some modern stories of Vorbarr Sultana – I’m a huge Winterfair fan.
G.I. Joe (Cartoon)
Cover Girl/Wayne "Beach Head" Sneeden (G.I. Joe Cartoon)
Blaine "Mainframe" L. Parker/Zarana (G.I. Joe Cartoon)
Flashback time! CG/BH is a formative ship for me - I love sexy/sweet (for them, anyway).
Mainframe/Zarana - starcrossed lovers (or maybe she is a triple agent?)
I have not written for them in awhile, but BH/CG takes me back to a warm little fandom place. I also love love love Mainframe/Zarana – but how much more fun would it be if she really was working for GI Joe? I’m seeing a rescue story here as a possibility.
Jem and the Holograms (Cartoon)
Jacqui Benton & Jerrica Benton | Jem (Jem Cartoon)
Giselle "Danse" Dvorak & Nadia Dvorak (Jem Cartoon)
Mary "Stormer" Phillips & Aja Leith (Jem Cartoon)
Rory "Riot" Llewelyn/Mary "Stormer" Phillips (Jem Cartoon)
So 3 of these are all about families. Jacqui & Jerrica, either AU or set before her death. Danse finding her mother (or Nadia finding her?). How do Mary & Aja get along outside of music when it comes to Craig?
Riot/Stormer I think could be good and intense, focused on working on a song.
I enjoy when this fandom revels in its Eighties roots, so if you want to involve Unsolved Mysteries or some such, go for it.
What might Stormer & Aja bond over besides Craig?
Riot/Stormer just strikes me as having interesting possibilities, since they are both the serious musician/creator in their group. It seems like it would also be a huge shock to everyone else.
Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light
Cryotek/Galadria (Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light)
I just love these two together.
I love their vibe – the playfulness, that the gruff guy gets the girl, dealing with their very different totems.

Teela (MOTU R 2022) & Cassandra (Rapunzel's Tangled Adventures)
Interested in the 2 versions of He-Man and Casta.
Crusher & Bones – While I have received a lovely story where he is an instructor at the Academy, I’d love a story where these two are being badasses together at their primes.
So in case it’s not obvious, Queen Marlena in He-Man is my favorite character AND she’s an astronaut and she would probably enjoy meeting this crew. Marlena and Amanda could trade some advice?
Teela & Cassandra - these two have SOOO MUCH in common
Forgot to actually request Nancy & Cherry
I love the He-Man/Casta ship, and would be interested to see it play out in a Revelations style story. I prefer to ship Adam with Castaspella, and I love seeing the difference between how Adam acts on Eternia and Etheria. I’d love to see her figure out his secret. Or an AU where Adam was taken, not Adora?
Most of my thoughts are In the prompts. For Crusher & Bones, I’d prefer she be the one stuck back in time.
The IDIC Epidemic - Jean Lorrah (Star Trek Novel)
Sendet/T'Pina (IDIC Epidemic)
T'Pina & T'Mir (IDIC Epidemic)
Daniel Corrigan/T'Mir & Amanda Grayson (IDIC Epidemic)
Daniel Corrigan & Amanda Grayson (IDIC Epidemic)
Definitely here for what happens next or an AU where Sendet will NOT give up. (I don't want them to end up together but adventure times!). My teen and I are actually reading this now. I’d love an AU where Sendet continues to be trouble (I didn’t want a story solely focusing on Beau/T’Pina but feel free to let him apply himself to solving that problem!) for T’Pina.
Daniel/T’Mir – I’d love to see more of them post-canon. Do they decide to have children? How does that work? Their relationship with Amanda, together or separately?
T'Pina & T'Mir - logical sisterly bonding. How does T’Mir feel about having a little sister (and an Orion brother-in-law)?
I am interested in how either Daniel or T'Mir might use Amanda as a sounding board/friend... and maybe some pondering about how other Vulcans of her acquaintance might not marry Vulcans...
I’d be very interested in how Amanda relates to either of these two. She and Corrigan have very similar experiences, but what sort of friendship does she build with T’Mir?
I pretty much put all my thoughts from the previous letter in the prompt, so have fun.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV)
James T. Kirk/La'an Noonien-Singh (SNW)
Erica Ortegas & La'an Noonien-Singh & Joseph M'Benga & Sam Kirk (SNW)
La'an Noonien-Singh & Sam Kirk (SNW)
Joseph M'Benga & La'an Noonien-Singh (SNW)
La'an Noonien-Singh/UEF James T. Kirk (SNW)
Marie Batel & Christine Chapel (SNW)
La'an Noonien-Singh & Nyota Uhura (SNW)
I'm current on Season 2, and very interested in Season 2 specific stories! Especially what happens after To Be Continued. WHAT DO YOU MEAN “TO BE CONTINUED”?
I am personally on the SNW doesn’t have to lead to our TOS train – I am totally okay with assuming it spins out/plays out differently. If you want to get inspired by TOS episodes, go right ahead.
La'an /UEF James: I would be very into a S2E3 AU where he does not die and comes back with her (feel free to play on the scene she imagines in S2 E9 where he is holding out his hand because damn intensity I’ll take him!). Maybe they aren’t quite finished yet?
La’an & Sam: Interested in how they interact. Play it into La’an wanting to weasel out more info about James or not.
Erica & M'Benga & Sam & La'an: What happens after the end of S2E10? – So once we realized what had happened, my only thought was how the Gorn captured themselves the wrong group of people… How does that work out for them? Feel free to include people developing coping mechanisms that aren’t the healthiest (if M’Benga channeled the Elysian Kingdom I would be there for that). Obviously want this crew to live.
La’an & M’Benga – Interested in how these 2 are working through their trauma together and separately, love the sparring partner bit. Also, La’an totally knows what went down in S2E8. And she understands the final line of that episode. Some broken things can’t be fixed, only maintained. That’s a super good take on the PTSD issue, honestly.
La'an/James: AU or continuation of what we’ve seen – after all we know Carol and Kirk don’t work out…. I lean towards the AU though. Interested in seeing how his Tarsus 4 background plays in. What Happened in the Alternate Timeline before S1E10 would also be a great place for La’an and James to hook up again…
Batel & Chapel : Interested in how these two interact with each other before S2E10 opens but I am also 100% here for a storyline where Chapel has to honor Batel’s wishes not to become Gorn chow over Pike’s desire to save her.
La'an & Nyota: Ladies night out or badass mission time? Either/both
And I somehow failed to nominate them but feel free to work Pike/Una in with any of these?
So let’s talk about Season 2 peeps! The Hippocratic Oath is fuzzy on the subject of kneecaps and throats! Yay Una is back! No, they’re still pushing the Pike/Batel thing (I am not into it, it is not my thing, why does she never eat the fabulous food?). La’an and star-crossed doomed time-travel love. I fly the ship (on Alpha shift). Why is Spock eating bacon? Why is Sam Kirk suddenly missing from the cleanest science lab in history? We finally meet the real Kirk! Kirk meets Spock (and Uhura doesn’t know this is her life for the next 50 years). Cartoon crossover! M’Benga gets away with murder (and can we please leave the PTSD crew ALONE?). All systems stable! Why are we singing? Who’s going to be Gorn chow? WHAT DO YOU MEAN “TO BE CONTINUED”?
I am personally on the SNW doesn’t have to lead to our TOS train – I am totally okay with assuming it spins out/plays out differently. If you want to get inspired by TOS episodes, go right ahead. I kind of wish that they had called the Gorn something else, because I feel like it would make things stronger.
I put most of the last letter in the prompts.
Number One/Pike: I am a lifelong shipper for these two. Hook me up with some thing good – sweet and/or sexy! I’ve been a Pike/Number One shipper since the first time I saw The Cage (in the 90s, I think) and I want to see how these two would play it. I’m totally here for an AU after the comet episode (they’re so close why didn’t you kiss?). They need a clue brick.
La’an & Sam: Also, when does Sam realize he is never getting away from little brother?
Just inject it into my veins. After sitting out several of the newer shows, I dove into this one and please just give me more more more. I think the things I REALLY want to know is, what all was happening in that alternate timeline before we got dropped into it.
If you’d like to play with the La’an meets Khan in Space Seed with La’an/James, I am here for it.
I really love this new show, although I am wondering about continuity but NOT REALLY CARING I LOVE THIS CREW.
I still have not read the comic, but it’s pretty close to the top of the TBR if you have read it.
So this is obviously the one I have the most thoughts on, but don’t feel weird if we didn’t match on it. I’ve been creating for this one quite a bit lately, so it’s just on my mind more.
Original Work
Male Owner of Remote Inn/Lost Female Tourist (M/F)
Clever Golddigger in Arranged Marriage/Apparently Dumb Husband With A Dark Secret (F/M)
Wallflower who wishes to be married/Rake who is her best friend's older brother (F/M) (OW)
Rake/Regency Lady Who Wants Him To Ruin Her Reputation (OW)
Ancient Forgotten Goddess/Clueless Historian Obsessed With Her (F/M)
Explorer/Member of Rival Exploration Party (M/F)Fanfic
So on the Inn Owner/Tourist, I’d like there to be a menacing feeling but not have him be actually menacing. Think like the urban legend where the guy keeps flashing his high beams and the woman is scared of him, but there’s actually another threat that he’s trying to save her from? Bingo. Also, if you read Georgette Heyer and are familiar with her short story “Night at the Inn”, same vibes are good!
On the Historian/Goddess, I just love the guy finally experiencing her, perhaps proving that she was truly worshipped?
Clever Golddigger - here for her trying to turn him up sweet or them turning the tables on each other
Rakes - If you read Amanda Quick you know my jam.
Exploration - Still Amanda Quick, and a little of the vibe from the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew TV show... feel free to have members of their party "trap" them somewhere to Work It Out...
Pretty much what it says! If you remember the Amanda Quick Regencies with the Quirky Heroine and Dark Brooding Hero and some kind of cool mystery… I loved those. Also love people snarking/sniping at each other.
My general preferences are here.
It's my 15th Yuletide!
You can also use the "dear writer" tag but TBH I copy/paste letters a lot. The general preferences were updated and restyled this year, so if you've written for me before, definitely give it a look!
My DNW list: unrequested mundane AU | female characters in fridges | non-con | violent dub-con | graphic violence | gore | graphic sexual violence | cruelty/death to animals | cruelty/death to children | requested character death | unrelieved grimdark | bigotry by the good guys | first or second POV | reader fic | ABO | soulbonds | wildly OOC in a non-cracky way
I AM OPEN TO TREATS, ALL THE TREATS YOU WANT TO WRITE.
Optional details are optional, but I love a good chatty letter. I want to give you something to latch on to but don't feel constrained. I have more to say about some but some of that is just more time requesting them.
Remember, whatever you write, I will love! I know 2020 2021 2022 2023 has been rough on a lot of people, so please don't stress out too much because Yuletide will be wonderful! It's definitely been full of challenges for me, so let's celebrate with awesome fic! These are a mix - 3 repeat requests and 2 new (for Yuletide) requests.
Crossovers are definitely welcome, as are AUs! If you cross it over with Clue or an Agatha Christie fandom/detective (Poirot, Marple, Ariadne Oliver, And Then There Were None) I'm good with anything - otherwise, see my preferences - cracky or serious crossovers welcome. I also welcome any and all crossovers involving Nancy Drew.
I do enjoy the trappings of the Christmas holiday (mistletoe, gifts, hot chocolate, oh no we're snowed in together and must stay warm somehow... or we're trapped with a killer, family togetherness, snowball fights, traveling over the river and through the terminal) but do not require them. If they work though, by all means, take advantage of it.
And again, have fun!

I got my letter up before assignments went out TWICE IN A ROW, give me a crossover cookie. (Just kidding, I was late on two other exchanges.)
Have fun crossing over and fusing. I'm down for serious or cracky. I LOVE crossovers.
