Yuletide Letter 2022
Oct. 21st, 2022 09:51 amDear Yuletide Author,
Welcome and thank you in advance!
My likes: angst, pining, sadness, romance, friendship, adventure. I'm good with both happy or unhappy endings. But an unhappy/sad ending is better if it has a dash of hope for the future thrown in. I like post-canon (what happens to the characters after the final episode?) and pre-canon (what were they up to before the first episode?). I like missing scene fics and fix-it fics. Any rating is fine--I don't mind mild to moderate smut or mild to moderate whump. I'm basically going to be stoked to see these characters do anything.
My dislikes: reader insert, second person POV, fluff with no plot. I'm pretty good with any topics but I guess I'm less interested in pregnancy/baby plots and extreme AUs.
Even though I have more ideas for some fandoms than others, I love all of the requested fandoms equally and am excited to read your ideas!
Treats are a yes.
Request 1: Rush (Lawson, Josh, Kerry)
I like all of the Rush characters but especially Lawson (and Josh and Kerry). I can get behind almost anything as long as Lawson is involved. Sad and hopeless, pining and romantic, action and adventure. All of the team and their working relationships and friendships are great. Lawson/Josh or Lawson/Kerry or Lawson/OC. Kerry is very intriguing--she's absolutely wild in her personal life but she literally wrote the book on tactical response.
Request 2: Cardinal (John, Lise)
I love the way they work together. I love how they go from distrust when they first get partnered together to totally on the same page by the end of it. I love the friendship between them as much as the hookup. It would be cool to see what happens next. Do they make things work even though she moves to Toronto or does something else happen entirely? Maybe they reconnect over a case that brings him to the city or her back to town? I think it's so interesting that we got to see a bit of John and Catherine's relationship as well as knowing a bit of Lise and Josh's marriage. Not sure how their previous partners and relationships play into their current lives, but it's something to ponder.
Request 3: Mare of Easttown (Mare, Colin)
Mare is badass and I love her so much. Then Colin shows up with his wide-eyed youth and gives us all a flash of what could be. Do they make sense together? Not really, but I'd root for them anyway. What if Colin was around at the end of the case? What if he doesn't die? What if he gets injured instead? What if Mare's the one who gets shot? Or, what if we accept his death--how does that play out for Mare?
Request 4: Mystery Road (Jay, Mary, Crystal, Simon)
Any character. Jay Swan is one of my favorite characters. Brooding, mysterious, so great at his job to the detriment of his personal life. His ex, Mary and their kid, Crystal--what a family dynamic (I've seen Mystery Road: Origins so don't worry about spoilers). Mary's boyfriend/fling/whatever-they-are, Simon, who ends up being not a great person is another interesting relationship. Jay's reaction to her seeing Simon--how much is that being him upset that Mary is moving on when Jay himself hasn't (?) and how much is him just looking out for her when he realizes Simon isn't what he seems? What about a Jay pov watching everything in his life constantly being a disaster so he anchors himself in work? Or a Mary or Crystal pov watching Jay distance himself constantly? You could weave in the movies and both tv seasons or just focus on one of the tv seasons.
Request 5: Rescue: Special Ops (Jordan, Dean, Chase)
Great team, love all of them. Jordan seems like the black sheep of the team and I love how sometimes he's an extension of the Gallagher brothers and other times he's clearly not included as one of them. Just how shady is Jordan's past? Street racing and boxing? Jordan's my favorite but I definitely also enjoy the shenanigans that Dean and Chase get up to. Throw in Heidi, Lara, Michelle or an OC and make some romance happen or stick with a gen fic of them all hanging out on a day off or doing a rescue together.
Welcome and thank you in advance!
