Dear Fellow Yuletide Writer,
I’m Calacious on A03. Thank you for sharing your gift of words with me. I am super excited to read what you write.
I am open to treats.
First, I do have some triggers that need to be avoided so that I can truly enjoy what you write.
DNW:
Prison (even mentioned; avoid canonical prison mentions as well)
Gender-bending
Excessive torture or angst
Pining
Hurt without comfort
Sex (mentioned is okay, but I do not read sex scenes)
Descriptions of bathing someone or washing their hair
Robots that are like humans
Main character (nominated characters) death, unless they enter another realm and have a happy ending there
Unhappy endings
Excessive worldbuilding that focuses heavily on the description of elements in the room or what characters are wearing, etc. (I do not need to know the color of the drapes and how they match the character’s eye color, but the fact that the wallpaper is peeling (as long as it is relevant and important to the story, like in “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Stetson) it’s okay)
Second, these are things that I typically love in a story.
General Likes:
Mpreg
De-age (but not where the person retains adult memories)
Found family
Domestic fluff
AU (except high school and space)
Soulmates (except the one where people don’t see colors until they meet their soulmate)
Hurt with tons of comfort
Character-driven stories
Crossovers
Kid!fic
M/M slash
Vampires
Survival
Recovery
Third, if you’re anything like me, a prompt helps stir the creative juices (if you don’t need prompts or find them too restrictive, then no worries).
Far Away Wanderers
Zhou Zishu/Wen Kexing
Modern AU in which they are married and raising a kid together (maybe a couple of kids).
Ghost hunter AU (modern)
Tender, domestic moments
Wen Kexing tending to a wounded Zhou Zishu
Detective AU - they work together to solve a serial killer case
Groundhog Day
Phil and Punxsutawney Phil
When I saw that this was nommed and that Punxsutawney Phil was nommed as well, I was thrilled.
Phil and Phil shenanigans
An AU where Punxsutawney Phil is a shape-shifter (perhaps even a love story for the two of them)
Wherein Phil and Phil become best buds (after a fashion)
Phil adopts Phil
Something fun and fluffy
Lego Batman Movie
Bruce/Clark, Dick, and Alfred
An exasperated Bruce and Clark dealing with an over-energetic Dick with Alfred in the background just shaking his head, or providing cookies, or both
Tender family moments
Clark getting tickets to Bruce’s favorite band and maybe taking him on a not-date date.
Domestic fluff and shenanigans.
History 3: Trapped
Meng Shoafei/Tang Yi
This is my comfort fandom and comfort couple. I can never get enough of these two. Please do not mention Tang Yi and prison unless you write that he does not have to serve a prison sentence at all due to some technicality.
An extended stay in the wilderness for the boys with Tang Yi tending to an injured Meng Shaofei (something I often request).
Tang Yi races across town to remove an antique canon because he fears that Meng Shaofei’s claim of that he can only be killed by a canon is about to come true.
Tang Yi and Meng Shaofei married with kids.
KeiYaku
Hanabuso Shiro/Kunishita Ichirou
I am so happy that the manga is being translated into English, and I have been reading it as it is translated. I do like the show as well. I just want more of these two.
An injured Kunishita Ichirou being cared for by Hanabuso
A soulmate AU (soul marks or something similar)
Werewolf/Vampire AU
Ichirou and Shiro moving on from the show's events and living together.
The boys cooking for each other (their love language)
In which Ichirou doesn’t need his own bed because he’s already sharing with Shiro
Shazam movies (Sandberg)
Billy, Darla, Freddy, Rosa
Found family vibes
Holiday fluff
Billy and Freddy hijinks (I am okay with them being shipped, but kind of like them as bros as well)
Please DO NOT ship Billy with Darla or Rosa.
