Hello Yuletide author! Welcome to my letter! I want to start by saying I am someone who loves creative freedom and my greatest wish is for you to write something you can have fun with and love for yourself, not only for me. I have some assorted prompts here, but I'll also share some general tropes and themes I love that you are more than welcome to run with!

If you have questions or want to run an idea by someone who knows me well, you're welcome to go through my roommate! She's @hobihomi on twitter and @nebularity on tumblr.

General Squicks/DNWs:

• gore
• non-con
• incest
• eating disorders
• transphobia
• A/B/O
• PWP (E-rated stuff is fine and I frequently enjoy it, I just prefer it to be primarily plotty! Some exceptions in the prompts/further fandom details below)
• any mention or use of COVID-19 as a plot point/setting
• cheating/infidelity
• characters that are adults being de-aged into kids, either via magic or in a high school setting, etc

General things I love:

• People with history! Exes, former best friends, people who knew each other well in childhood but drifted apart. I love people renegotiating who and what they are to each other.
• Protectiveness ;____;
• Established relationship, especially the bit right after they get together & have to navigate being in a relationship
• Hurt/comfort (could be after an injury or purely emotional! I love seeing people take care of each other)
• Mature communication!! Miscommunication isn't a total no-go but when a whole plot could be resolved with a 5 minute conversation I get a little antsy. I love characters who are empathetic and think about how they impact other people (or who learn to be better at that during the course of the fic).
• Action! Adventure! A plot that gets your blood pumping!
• Conversely: quiet fics about the day to day that ache
• Canon divergence
• Fake dating
• Character study & ambitious character work - is the author doing something really interesting with this character? Is it a side of them we don't always get to see in canon? Are they a little mean sometimes? A little realer, more human? Sign me the hell up.

Onto the fandoms and specific prompts:

GFRIEND

• My best girls! I love them a lot. My favorite ship at the moment is Sinb/Yerin and they are my two favorites in the group, but I'm open to others!
• I am always down for an AU but I also ADORE idolverse/canon compliant fics.
• Love anything where the whole group is present or at least referenced! They don't have to all be central but I do love them all a lot.
• Some prompts:
• —— Yerin is the queen of gay chicken! She loves to kiss girls and tell them how pretty they are. My kingdom for a fic with her/anyone where it starts as a game and then gets serious. Bonus points if the love interest starts to fall for her but sees that she's like this with everyone so they assume they don't have a chance.
• —— Apple video-adjacent AU where they are WITCHES!! honestly go wild here, would love anything from cottagecore wives to estranged childhood friends executing a dark and ominous ritual, and anywhere in between.
• —— Yerin sexy criminal! SinB is the normie tsundere-but-harmless girl who loves her! I saw a picture of Yerin in leather pants and it made me feel like I could lift a car. Anything in this realm makes me [aaaaaa].
• (In terms of names, I generally prefer real names, so Eunbi > SinB, but I know that gets complicated with 2 Eunbis in the group so do what you need to!)

Where Your Eyes Linger

• I am such a goddamn sucker for the bodyguard trope and it's why I love this drama so much! If you write for this fandom I would love it if you kept it so that Kanggook is Taejoo's bodyguard because it's so important to my heart. Canon compliant, divergent, or AU that maintains the dynamic all good!
• Some prompts:
• —— Post-canon but before the finale's coda scene where Taejoo goes off and has adventures and struggles! Would love a character study of him trying to be a person in the real world without the familiarity of home and Kanggook. Gen is fine, or maybe canon diverges and Kanggook comes to find him earlier....
• —— Threatened beatdown of Kanggook by Taejoo's father at the end of the show actually happens, Taejoo has to watch without being able to stop it. (This would just be whump and ideally hurt/comfort, honestly! The whole "he will be punished for your mistakes" thing really got into my brain.)
• —— Post-canon for Real where they navigate entering a relationship! Give me the relationship negotiations, the careful boundaries, give me Taejoo messing up and ordering Kanggook around without realizing and the ensuing hurt and complications, give me a mellower and sweeter version of both of them that they each have to relearn...god......

Six of Crows

• Ah my kids :') I wrote a Crooked Kingdom coda for this fandom last year for this exchange and I still have so many feelings!
• Tippy top favorite ship is Inej/Nina and you would have my whole entire heart if you wrote them. But I also really love Kaz/Inej, Nina/Matthias, and feel peripheral feelings about Wylan/Jesper (feel free to include this ship but I'd prefer the fic doesn't center it!)
• I also looooove gen fic! No need to ship here.
• If you want to pull in King of Scars lore for Nina specifically you're welcome to but I've only read 2/3 of the book haha, I don't mind spoilers, just maybe flag them so I'm not super confused! Totally fine if you want to ignore it and diverge canonically so Nina is still with the group at the end of Crooked Kingdom.
• Love the canon here, but totally open to AUs, especially if they are also magical/fantastical in some way.
• Some prompts:
• —— The next big job after Crooked Kingdom. The crew has a lot to deal with! How does this look different from what they've done before now that they know what they do?
• —— A quiet moment with Nina and Inej after the fighting is over. Getting together or pre-slash are both totally fine. I just want to see them talk to each other and maybe find something blooming between them.
• —— Canon divergence where Matthias LIVES and the whole gang gets to have a nice night celebrating their success. Can be bittersweet (in fact I'd love that) but the tone and content are up to you!

Feel Special Video

• [Twice!] Wow my other girls! This video is SO glitzy and magical and gorgeous.
• My fave twice ships are Jihyo/Nayeon, Sana/Dahyun, and Jeongyeon/Nayeon, but I also love poly ships and I don't think there's a single combination of girls that wouldn't delight me.
• Bonus points if you are gentle and loving toward Mina in the narration it's what she deserves!
• Some prompts:
• ——Twice are all magical girls who practice different kinds of magic; Mina comes home after time away for [whatever reason you want] and is welcomed back with a glorious and beautiful homecoming! Can be a big party, a scene for each girl welcoming her back, her two girlfriends being excited to have her back, whatever you want! Open to this being someone else, too, I just love Mina!
• —— Jihyo/Nayeon based on This image: dbkpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/TWICE_Feel_Special_Jihyo_7.jpg. Is Jihyo missing Nayeon, who left, and watching old videos of her? Did they use to perform together? Is Nayeon trying to reach out to her from a different dimension? 
• —— Sana is a socialite, and she's a little bit dangerous. She introduces one of the others to the dark and glamorous world of underground clubbing. Maybe it's magical! Maybe it's just about rich people dancing and drinking champagne and indulging in the finer things. Totally cool with an E rating for this one, and pairing is your choice!

dirty computer

• God I wish I had more specific prompts for this but I feel like literally ANYTHING I am given for dirty computer would be SO EXCITING for me!
• I would love if you kept it in the canon verse, either before the big dystopian shift in the halcyon songs or during the sterile ~present day moment or into the future when they run away together!! 
• Jane and Zen are my favorites, but if you want to include Che in an ot3 I would be totally into that too.
• Honestly my biggest desire for this is a post-canon fic about healing and processing the trauma of the events of the video.
• Totally cool with sexual content here—I said no PWP in my DNWs but for this fandom if you can incorporate character study into PWP I woud be totally cool with that honestly.
• Am okay with descriptions/depictions of violence and trauma, but I'd rather you not linger on gratuitous violence against black people or medical trauma around needles.
• Keywords: Healing, Futurism, Joy, Freedom!!!
