Dear Yuletide Writer!
Hi! I am so, so happy you will be writing me a story! I am extremely easy to please :))
General likes: Happy/hopeful endings, romance, character studies
General Dislikes: deathfic, sad endings, rape/non-con
Request 1
Weekend (2011) - Russell/Glen
Weekend is very much like Before Sunrise in its setup and content. Jesse and Celine got their sequel -- now how about Russell and Glen. I would love to see them meet again, doesn't matter where -- it could be the US this time. I'd like it to be a few years down the road and to explore what happens when someone you developed an intense connection with in such a short period suddenly pops up. Are either of them in relationships? Do they talk and fall into conversation as easy as it always was? I'd love it for either a happy or ambiguous ending. I'd love real-life issues and how matters of the heart aren't always easy yet so powerful that you just want to forget about reality for a while.
Additional notes: I think this kind of says it all :)) Although I prefer happy endings like I stated above an open-ending is totally fine -- and even a bittersweet one is alright. No particular character's POV preference. You might be able to find Weekend on demand through your local cable company.

The Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight (song) - Boy/Girl
I would love an exploration of the relationship in the story; the background of how they got to this place and what happens afterward, if anything. The reason I love this song so much is because it's in 2nd person, and I have a sucker for songs that make use of that POV. I would naturally prefer the story to be in second person to, but if you can't do that, I understand.
Additional notes: Um, again, I think it kind of says it all? I'm fine if this one has an unhappy ending. I loved the imagery in the song, so that'd be really awesome in a story as well.
Request 3
Mysterious Skin (2005) Neil McCormick & / Brian Lackey
I would love to see a complex look at Neil and Brian's relationship after the end of the book/film. Do they begin a friendship? Can it form into something more down the road, after a lot healing? I'd love something beautiful, delicate and realistic that doesn't shy away from the themes but also tries to give some hope and love into a bleak story.
Additional notes: I would just love something delicate and understated and really attempting to to delve into the complexity of the characters and the reality of this kind of knoweldge and how healing and love can possibly be found with the person you share this pain with -- how it can blossom into something beyond pain and hurt. For either person's POV would be fine here, or even alternating if that's your bag.
Request 4
El Cor de la Ciutat Iago Vilches/Max Carbo
I would love to see a story set within the early days of their relationship. I loved Max's struggle with his attraction to Iago and I'd love to see that explored deeper. Their first time in the store, Max's feelings when Iago leaves and then comes back at the beginning. Alternatively, you could do something that takes place with Max's return at the end and their reunion and life after they leave. Honestly, anything would be perfect.
Additional notes: Honestly, I'm not picky with this one. Whatever you want to give, as long as it centers around the storyline (no AUs please!), is fine by me. Character studies with either of them is great too, and how their relationship plays into who they are -- maybe how Max made Iago want to be a better person. I'm not picky on a particular point of view. A while back I posted a picspam of the boys and a link to their entire story from youtube. You can find that here
