Dear Yuletide

[redbrunja]

Dear Yuletide Author,

First of all, let me sincerely say that I requested fandoms and characters I absolutely love, so please do not feel at all wedded to my insane optional details. Ignore them all entirely, pick and choose what works for you, optional details are optional.

If you're looking for more insight into general tropes that I like, check out my tag of bulletproof kinks. (Short list: banter, sex against walls, competency, characters respecting each other, tragic backstories, biting/love marks.)

Things I do not like: noncon, ladies needed to be saved, ladies being treated disrespectfully by the narrative, bleak and hopeless endings.

The Dark Knight Legacy: John Blake, Stephanie Brown

I cannot express how much I want to know how Stephanie Brown became known as a good cop in Gotham's corrupt police force. Why did John trust her rep?

And/or, please give me Stephanie reluctantly (and maybe then not so reluctantly?) working with Blake.

Also, I wouldn't say no to makeouts.

Batgirl: Stephanie Brown, Nick Gage, Damian Wayne

Yes, this is a Stephanie Brown-centric Yuletide request.

First of all, my true otp for Stephanie is Stephanie Brown/fighting crime and getting respect.

Here are some other dynamics that I am interested in reading about:

-Stephanie and Nick romantically hooking up, especially in the context of Stephanie being in an adult, consensual relationship after her history of sexual abuse and sexual torture. One of the reasons that I really enjoy Nick and Stephanie's dynamic is that, like being Batgirl, romantically speaking Nick is a fresh start for Stephanie. Steph's Batgirl run is full of Steph succeeding and being treated with respect and I love it.

-Stephanie/Damian. Either platonically, or (in the future) romantically.

-Also, this is totally cheating, but if you want to write something where Jason Todd and Stephanie interact (romantically! platonically! either is great!)

Rose Under Fire: Maddie Brodatt, Jamie Beaufort-Stuart

I desperately want to see more of Jamie and Maddie's romance. One of the things I loved about Rose Under Fire is that we got to see how much Jamie respects Maddie, that he didn't soften what he was seeing in France for her benefit. Also, I want Maddie flying after the war. As both she and Jamie are pilots, and Jamie owns a castle, I think they can swing a plane and an airstrip in the scottish highlands.

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Lizzie Bennet, William Darcy, Gigi Darcy, Caroline Lee

I just cannot read too many fics about Lizzie and Darcy smushing their faces together.

Also, I kinda ship Gigi and Caroline. Or, if you're not interested in that, I'd love to see Gigi and Caroline being friends. Maybe a fic where Gigi really gets that Caroline loved Darcy and wants Caroline to be happy, so she's decides to be Caroline's wing-woman?

The Kate Daniels series, Derek Gaunt, Julie Olsen

These two kids need to kiss. Or use their complementarily skills to solve some dangerous problem together. Or do both.
