Dear Yule Goat
Dearest Yuletider of my dreams,
This letter may change and I have time to better contemplate my desires.
First of all, thank you! Know that I will be one grateful elf no matter what!
This year I'm going with all new(ish) fandoms so I'll start with a list of my general likes and dislikes. Likes: hot boys, hot boys sexing, snark, humor, religious kink, areligious kink, language kink, Latin, dead 19th century authors, necks, hot boys sucking on each other's necks, not necessarily vampires, dirty raunchy porn, consensual BDSM, friends to lovers, swords, guns, Operas.
If that was too random for you, wait to you see my dislikes. Here you go, dislikes: mpregs, rape/non-con, gender swap, incest, feminization, kid fic, domestic kink, I prefer h/h to h/c, choking/asphyxiation, bad spelling, when people say "alter" but what they really mean is "altar" and het (unless it's there to subsequently lead to m/m slash). And though it may not seem like something that needs to be said, I'd also not like a death fic for Yuletide. I know, I know, I need Jesus.
And now on to my actual requests:
Defiance: I need some Niles/Connor action in my life. Things that are not okay: Connor Lang being dead. With that in mind, feel free to AU this entire thing. If you'd like to keep it closer to canon, I'd like something about their past. Obviously Connor was important to Niles. What happened to them after the Votan Violation? Halluci-Connor was rather cruel because he was born out of Niles' own mind, but perhaps the real Connor was a lot more understanding. He did, after all, hold him and told him things would be okay. *cue feels* (This is the exception to my "no het" rule: Amanda/Niles and Amanda/Connor is fine but I'd still rather the focus be on Connor/Niles.)
The Mercury Waltz: I know Kathe Koja is already working on another sequel, but I'm greedy. I love all these characters! Rupert and Istvan make me weak in the knees. When Istvan calls Rupert "Mouse" my heart melts and then my legs fail me and I end up in a pile of emotional goo. I don't actually care what you do, as long as you don't hurt my babies. I also really like Haden and Frederic, so feel free to insert them at will and I do mean insert liberally. Insert. If you write me anything from this series, I will love you forever. I will be your slave. I will NOT have your babies, however.
Political Animals: The glorious TJ Hammond is beautiful, heart-breaking, and sexy as hell. Please let him have good things, and by that I mean love and sex. Not with his brother. Anyone else is really okay. Be creative. Oh hey, if you'd like to ship him with Bass Monroe from Revolution, that would be an extra special bonus. Sebastian Stan is so pretty. Basically, that's my guiding life principle.
If you're just here to give me random gifts and can't pick one out from the list above (bless you), I might also enjoy some David/Jack from Kings, some Athos/Aramis from The Three Musketeers (always, I will always enjoy this) or some Opera slash because Verdi composed the most amazing but gayest operas that's ever gayed.
Enjoy, have fun, I know I always do! Happy Yule, everyone!
