Dear Author (Yuletide 2017)
Oct. 8th, 2017 08:45 pmStatus: Mostly Complete (10/11/2017)
Platonic Relationships – I love friendship. I’m always a sucker for platonic cuddling, hair ruffling, and just people being protective/supportive of each other.
Families of Choice – This is pretty much my favorite trope of all time. People choosing to be each other’s families and just platonically loving each other is my favorite thing in the entire world.
Trust/Communication – I really love this theme. People talking out their issues and trusting each other with their entire being, just gives me the all the feels.
Hello Author! Thanks so much for taking the time and effort into writing my Yuletide fic this year! (Also for reading this letter… which may get a little bit long).
(Also, I apologize for the lack of information in optional details… I may have forgotten about sign-ups until the day they closed…)
This letter certainly doesn’t cover everything I like, and don’t feel forced to exactly follow any of my prompts or try to fit everything in!

AUs/Tropes I Like:
Soulmate AUs – I’m a sucker for a good soulmate AU. I especially love the one where what you write on your skin also appears on your soulmate’s skin and soulmate identifying marks. (I also love, love Platonic Soulmate AUs, which are a lot less prevalent in fic)
Famous/Not Famous AUs – I really love when one person is famous/rich and the other isn’t and they have to navigate their relationship amongst this.
Breakfast Club AU – I feel like I’ve read every Breakfast Club AU in every fandom that I’m in (and even a couple in fandoms I’m not in). I love this for the same reason I love “families of choice” theme – a bunch of misfit kids finding family in each other.

DNWs:
I feel like most of these are pretty self-explanatory:
- Rape/Non-con
- Incest
- Character Death
- PWP/Explicit Sex
- Unhappy Endings (Feel free to include some angst, but please, please let the fic end happily).
Royal Tutor:
I don’t think I have to repeat this, but I really, really don’t want incest between the brothers. I’d also like to request that none of them be in a romantic/sexual relationship with Heine. (I’d also prefer that Bruno doesn’t call Heine “Master”).
Out of all of my requests, this is the fandom that I would most want to have a mostly platonic fic. I really just want a fic where the brothers are supportive/protective of each other, preferably with lots of family feels and/or fluff.
Tantei Team KZ Jiken Note:
This was a show I never expected to watch, but then ended up binging in one night (The 10 minute episodes really help with that).
The show as always been more about the relationship between the characters, rather than them solving the mysteries. I’d love to see a high school or college AU of the show. One of my favorite parts of the show is how supportive the boys are of Aya (and the reactions of her classmates that she somehow knows these really popular guys). I really love how all their strengths complement each other and how much of a team they are.
Fune wo Amu:
I’ve been in love with this dictionary anime since it came out last year.
I’d really love a fic that focuses on the (platonic) relationship between Nishioka and Majime. I also really love the relationship between them and the entire dictionary-making team. I especially love how all of them found a place that they belong.
