patroklaDear Yuletide Author,
Thanks in advance for whatever you write! I'm very excited to read it.
Couple flat DNWs: character death for any nominated characters (even if it's canonical...let Smike live...), incest, CSA, really graphic gore. Body horror is like...as long as it isn't in the graphic/gratuitous gore side of things, that's alright.
General likes: niche AUs, explorations of internalized homophobia and/or abuse, tenderness.
Nicholas Nickleby
As you may or may not be aware, dear author, there are approximately 15 Nicholas Nickleby fics on AO3, so like, I'll take anything as long as Smike lives through it. I tend to think canon setting for Nicholas/Smike, but if you've got an idea for an AU, I'd be interested in that as well.
The Penumbra Podcast: Juno Steel
I just got into this podcast in the last month, and I'm still not totally caught up - in the backhalf of s2, currently, although I'm sure I'll be caught up by the time posting dates come around. Anyway, I'm especially interested in Buddy/Vespa, which is the romance of the century imo, Juno/Peter, general crime family shenanigans, and character study stuff on Juno and Peter. I love the whole premise and setting of the Juno Steel stories, so anything that features that would be really cool!
God's Own Country
Post-canon 'how do they actually make it work' stuff would be especially interesting for Johnny and Gheorghe - I liked the ending of the movie, but I think getting to that initial point of 'I am willing to be brave enough to tell you I want this to work' is a really different proposition to like, Johnny being willing to acknowledge Gheorghe as his partner when they go down to the local. So - how does it work?
The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, The Fall, and Kentucky Route Zero
I don't really have any specific ideas for these fandoms - I'd just be fascinated to see what you can come up with.
I can say that Keita Mori is one of the most interesting characters I've read about in a long time, and the entire thing with him and Thaniel is so intriguing - how does it work out, post-canon?
The Fall is beautiful, and sad, and a little ambiguous. I think this could be hard to write for. Roy POV during canon? Finding a way to spin out that same atmosphere post-canon? idk!
Kentucky Route Zero...oh man. So much to explore there, in terms of the setting and the economic commentary. I'm very fond of Junebug, Johnny, Conway, and Shannon, and also that kid who got carried off by an eagle whose name I've forgotten, but yknow, whatever you can think of!
Looking forward to reveals, and good luck with the writing!
