Dear Creator!

[tjs_whatnot]

IF YOU ARE HERE FOR YULETIDE 2025 MY ACTUAL LETTER IS HERE! For some reason, when I copied my link, a few other posts from previous years and previous exchanges slotted themselves in instead. SO WEIRD. Sorry about that.

---

Hello hello hello! I love you already!

I'm so excited to be taking part in this awesome fest again this year. I choose just 4 fandoms this round (two new faves and one forever fandom and an oldy-but-close-to-my-hearty). All of them I feel a bit weird about requesting because I've been gifted some great works for them already, but can you really have too much of the things you love? I think not!

So, even if I ask for the same exact thing, your interpretation is what I want. I want all the interpretations! A bit about my likes and whatnot first-- I'll try and keep this short because I know the writing window is, and the fic more than likely will be and I'm cool with all of that.

For art, I feel like I have absolutely no authority to tell anyone what to do, so you do your thing and I'm SURE I will love it. I don't even know what the rules and regulations of podfic is, but I've just fallen in love with listening to stories, so any you want to tell would be ah-maze!♥

My likes in general are:
Character studies
Witty dialogue
Road Trips
angst, but not dismal
feeeeeeelings
shenanigans

My dislikes are:
character bashing
non-canon levels of violence, torture or gore

Absolute DNW:

Incest

My fandoms:

Boyfriend Material: Okay, I fell HARD for Luc and Oliver and their story! As a couple and individually.  I could go on... and on and on... but how about a list of my favorite things instead (do with them what you'd like:

The conversations through doors. ❤️
Bacon Sandwiches. ❤️
French toast. ❤️
Rainbow Archs.  🌈
Dick Pics 😍
Oliver Calling Luc Lucien (though maybe that's just because of the narrator, but JEEEEZUS it was hot!

And what I really loved was how I got halfway through the book and thought, "What, we got a whole half of a book to read and Luc has already been sort of... fixed? Now what? Like, it didn't even occur to me that they BOTH had issues to work through. I was so invested in Luc as the protagonist and this being his story and him being so very messed up and then what? Oliver isn't perfect? Oliver has self-esteem problems? Oliver has a horrible father too? I was so blown away!

I saw this thing on Tumbr and it has stayed with me to best articulate my thoughts and feelings on this ship and also the difference between it and my other love this year Alex/Henry from Red White and Royal Blue.

Red, White and Royal Blue made me fall in love with Alex and Henry falling in love despite them hating each other.

Boyfriend Material made me fall in love with Luc and Oliver falling in love despite them hating themselves. 

Like right? Didn’t they just? And how they both thought they didn’t deserve the other? And how they both thought they were just doing it for the agreement GUHHHHH!

*Oh, also, I have read the sequel, so you can include anything (or not) from that if you'd like.

Red White and Royal Blue: While I would love to just get more Alex/Henry basically doing anything anywhere, I also really love the family of Alex with Nora and June. So, any exploring of those relationships would also be great!  Like, maybe a Alex/Henry story through their POV? Or maybe letters (letters were a BIG thing that I loved from the book) between Alex and them--and Henry and them maybe?

 

 

Other ideas? Honestly, anything. Pre-canon, maybe a look at their first meeting, or any other time when they snubbed and were mean to each other. Or post-canon… from maybe doing very bad things in Alex’s childhood home the night of the election to what comes next. OR, OR… you know all that montage bits? I’d love to read a story of what happened during those. Especially after seeing this:

Inkheart Series:

 

I've been nomming and requesting this series for FOREVER, and I'm so glad that it FINALLY seems to be getting some love! I'm always greedy for Inkheart fic, but Imust admit, I'm way overdo for a re-read and that's why I only requested Mo/Resa/Dustfinger as that is the relationship I remember the strongest and the one I want explored the most.  Any thing you want to tell me, any ETA of their separate and joint entanglements I am HERE for! ♥

Miranda:

This show is just... it's just my Happy Place. For a long time, when people wanted to get up know me, I'm sit them down to watch her. ❤️ And I loved Gary for her, I loved that even though he was outwardly cooler than her, he was still a huge need, and I REALLY loved how he appreciated her just the way she was.  ❤️❤️ 

I would love to see them when they were young, or later, after the show. I'd pretty much love anything you want to share about these two. ❤️❤️
