My second year doing Yuletide!! Hooray! The first two fandoms are self-published book series, so they may be pretty long shots haha but hope springs eternal.

The majority of this likely will have already been in the prompts. Basically, I like hopeful/positive with some thoughtful ideas content, romance when applicable, and found family/friendship dynamics as well. Since we are still having a Really Bad Time this year, I'm definitely not looking for angsty/traumatic/any fic dealing with the current state of things (covid-19/politics), or just deeply negative in general. I'm also somewhat adverse to deep dives into religious thought or focusing on the ins and outs of religion (it's just not what I'm interested in reading!)

I'm always down for humor, if you enjoy writing that! If there is hurt/angst, I'd really like it resolved/to have comfort at the end of it. I'm not particularly looking for smut this particular Yuletide.

I like fic that's character focused, slice of life/daily life focused, and interpersonal relationships (platonic, romantic, familial) focused. Especially if fic acknowledges the uniqueness of the character (like an artist integrating art/their practice into their life, or a magic-user studying up on their magic to improve their life.) I, as someone who works in education, am a huuuge fan of lifelong learning/self improvement, although I know that's a fairly niche thing to write about ^^; But it's an idea, if you want to write about it for any of the below fandoms!

My AO3 is https://archiveofourown.org/users/stifledlaughter/pseuds/stifledlaughter if you'd like to see the kind of fics I like!

My requests:

The Magpie Chronicles - Michaela Ro
Characters requested: Yamazaki Youji, Nakahara Shiori, Akaryu Masaomi, Kitahara Hinami
DNW: major character death, depression/major illness, events in the real world/our Earth, focusing on religious themes, genderswap, smut
(The below ideas are not required/necessary, just ideas/prompts!)
Unlike most of my Yuletide requests, I am actually ok with AUs for this one!! As far as we know in the books, these four are not together (yet.... hehehe) but in this fic, you can write them as together, still getting close to each other, good friends, etc. I'd love a canonverse "small moments" sort of fic, like any time between their missions, maybe one of them asking each of the other members of this team a question and going to each member musing on it, or one character assessing their different relationships with the others. If you're doing an AU, well, I just want to see these four in it! Heist AU? Pride and Prejudice AU? Your favorite anime AU? I just wanna see these four together (platonic or otherwise, can be mixed who is platonic and who is not, etc, I'm flexible lol).

The Warrior's Guild - Scarlett Gale
Characters: Lucían (The Warrior's Guild) Glory (The Warrior's Guild)
DNW: major character death, depression/major illness, noncon/infidelity, smut, AUs
(The below ideas are not required/necessary, just ideas/prompts!)
If this had a tag, I'd want it to be "Lucían and Glory living their best lives"! What other jobs do they do with the Warrior's Guild? How does Lucían improve his magic? How do they deepen their relationships with the people they met along the way in their journey in the books? Do they take up knitting, gardening, or (gasp) get a pet? How is the abbey doing, and do they help out a lot? Basically this is me asking for any sort of continuation after the books!

Yuru Camp
Characters: Kagamihara Nadeshiko and Shima Rin

DNW: dark themes (depression/major illness, major character death, infidelity), genderswap, smut, AUs, references to covid-19
(The below ideas are not required/necessary, just ideas/prompts!)

I’d love to see a fic (either romantic or platonic, up to your comfort level!) between these two. (The other characters are welcome to show up but I’d like to focus on these two.) It could be present-day, maybe them on a camping trip to a specific location in Japan that you’d do research on (if you enjoy doing that!) or perhaps you make up an ideal campsite and scenery that they’d absolutely love. Or maybe it’s a future fic where they’re fitting in camping while attending college, or working, or figuring it all out, not sure where their paths are going but loving the time they spend outdoors. Other characters can be present but I’d like the focus to be on Nadeshiko and Rin. Sticking with the mood of the show would probably be a great guiding line for this!

I’d really prefer it be kept to canon-verse and not an AU.
