Yuletide 2014
First off, sorry I couldn't have this up when you got your assignment! My laptop is currently in the throws of great woe and, as such, I just didn't have the access needed with the time allotted, so I hope this isn't too late for you!
I have a very short DNW list: scat, non-con, and watersports that occur above the neck. All other things are probably going to be okay. I lean significantly more toward happy and fluffy, but I certainly don't mind having my heart ripped out by a good story. Character death isn't a preference at all, but, again, it can be done well. Dub-con can be very okay, but I really need it to be at least somewhat consensual (so things like Sex Pollen, the X made them do it, lowered inhibitions, bonding, etc. are all quite okay as long as there's still a little choice left in the matter). Any kink other than that if you choose to write porn (because, yes, I'm totally receptive to porn *and* gen *and* fluffy ship fic) is great. I adore size kink and cumplay and dirty talk and power bottoming and double penetration and sex that reads like real sex because it isn't perfect but it's still fun. I love kink (a lot), but vanilla sex is good too as long as you're into writing it. I don't care about length as long as you feel your story is complete. I know full well that sometimes a fic that's 1000 words exactly can be a million times better than one that's 50k.
I guess I should also say that I have a significant preference for third person, but that any tense is okay. I tend to prefer things set in canon, but AUs can be excellent as long as that's what you're into writing. If there are additional characters/pairings that you want to throw into the background, that's welcome. I like het, slash, femslash, etc. and ensembles are awesome, so if you're wanting to write sixteen people in a scene that still just focuses on a few of them? I'll probably enjoy it. I will guarantee you a comment that will gush about the things I love about the fic.
Now, to detail the actual requests I made:
FAKE - Dee/Ryo
I love these guys together in any way, so case fic or sweet moments or porn is all good. Something I'd love to see is maybe an investigation into an ex of Dee's or possibly a hooker who seems to know "Randy" all too well. Domestic fic would also be amazing (cooking together, decorating for the holidays, even talking about adoption... though I'd prefer you only do straight up kidfic if you keep the focus on Dee and Ryo) and I wouldn't mind reading about them taking a vacation together (maybe to Japan?) that goes better than any they take in canon.
Maze Runner - Thomas, Newt, Minho
I've only seen the movie for this and haven't spoiled myself with the books, so if you want to incorporate the canon of the later books? Just explain it for me a bit. Anyway, I really appreciated the dynamics between Thomas and everyone else and would love to see more about the dynamic between these three characters together all at once. I would not be upset with porn at all, but I'm also cool with anything else (if you only want two of them actually together, any variation works as long as it's from those 3 characters). I'd love an AU where Thomas' neighbor and/or landlord (Newt) and his new work buddy (Minho) both end up joining him at a bar. Or canon drinking around the fire followed by skinny dipping. Maybe a quiet walk around the perimeter at dusk, talking about the little blips of things they remember about "before". I would also be cool with Thomas getting some kinky consensual "punishment" for his actions.
Mulan - Fa Mulan/Li Shang
I'm specifically wanting post-movie fic here. I love these two awkward idiots and would prefer adventure and/or sweet silliness over angst or porn. You can go directly post-movie where Shang does stay for dinner and ends up being the one to pour the tea, or maybe they spar and Mulan schools Shang. Does Shang ask for Mulan's hand in marriage from her father who laughs and says he can't give permission for that and to ask her himself? (I know a Mulan II exists, but I haven't seen it so feel free to forget that canon if it gets in the way of what you want to write.) I'd be okay with Shang helping Mulan with a loss (maybe Cri-kee dies of old age or Mulan's father dies and Shang realizes he hasn't truly processed the loss of his own father?) though I'd beg for at least a happy ending there.
How To Get Away With Murder - any
I want worldbuilding here~ I'm not a huge fan of Connor/Wes, but anything else goes (you can certainly write about them interacting, even Connor flirting, but I just don't quite like them as actually being together). Some Laurel/Michaela would not go awry. Connor/Asher or Bonnie/Annalise would also be fab. I'd love to see Wes get into a situation where he has to learn to listen to more than just the loudest voice. Also amazing would be seeing Michaela get schooled on why her fiance didn't need to tell her about Connor before they were even dating (because, seriously, as a bi woman? That pissed me off!) Maybe Annalise realizing she's a hypocrite for her relationship with Nate when her husband's infidelity bothers her so much, but that's why she fights for her clients because guilt by law and by feeling are different things. I'm staying caught up on canon for this, so use as much or as little of the stuff airing now as you'd like.
Catherine - Catherine/Vincent
For me, Catherine > Katherine always. She's who I always end up going for. Anything's good here from Vincent angsting over things to the two of them banging as demons. You can have anyone else in as a character, just don't have Vincent choose Katherine in the end, please. Maybe post-game Vincent remembers a night with Catherine from "before" and muses on why he chose her. Maybe Catherine joins the boys at the bar one night, flirting with Erika to make Vincent jealous. Or maybe Catherine learns to reign in her own jealousy once she realizes just how much Vincent willingly gave up to be with her.
