I’m on vacation. Here are some past letters that I’m making new again, rather than leaving them to wilt in the archives.

1. I worked for my mom and now she won’t stop bugging me with work questions

Five years ago, I was offered a job at the company my mom had been working at for 20+ years. At the time, I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my career and I needed the insurance and a higher wage, so I accepted the offer despite my knowing it was ultimately going to be a bad situation.

Unfortunately, I stayed for five years in the horrible working conditions. One of which was working directly for my mom all five years. During my five years at that company, I took it upon myself to change/update many processes and procedures to enable people work more effectively and efficiently. I also created many instructions on how to do my job so if and when I left, anyone would be able to sit down and do my job.

On my departure this past November, I made it clear I would be available to answer questions, but they would have to contract me for work if necessary. I also strongly recommended they hire at least a temp for my last two weeks so I could teach them before I left. Unfortunately, the COO decided they didn’t need to replace me and my mom could take on my job. This is not the case, but it’s their business, not mine.

Because of this, I keep getting calls from my mom. These calls are for things I left instructions for, things she used to do for 20 years, things I trained her on prior to my departure, and things you could easily Google. I would understand if it was a question about where some information was, but when she calls me on a Friday afternoon on my way home from my current job asking if I could stop by the office and help her create a PowerPoint for a big meeting, it feels like she is crossing a boundary. Sometimes, she’ll even call and text me about work-related issues while I’m at my new job until I respond.

When I tell her I cannot help her in this manner, but she could contract me, she pulls the “daughter card” and says I should do it for her as a favor. I don’t know how to react to this. I keep trying to remind her that I can’t do this as a favor because it used to be my job, she gets silent and offended and eventually hangs up. Is there some other way I could get my old boss/mom to stop calling me with work-related questions?

If your mom is generally reasonable, you could try talking to her about this at a time when she’s not calling you looking for help. Go out to lunch with her or something and say, “Mom, it’s really important to me to make a clean break from Old Company and be able to focus on my new job. It’s not healthy for me to get pulled back into Old Company, and I definitely can’t answer question while I’m at my new job. I tried to leave a lot of documentation when I left, but I can’t help beyond that.” You could even say, “One reason I left was because it wasn’t good for our relationship to be working together and I was looking forward to just being mother/daughter again.”

But if she’s not generally reasonable — and I suspect she might not be, based on what you’ve described — then you’ll need to just keep repeating, “No, I’m sorry, I can’t help with that.” Say it kindly but hold firm. At some point she’s likely to figure out she’s not getting anything from you and it will lessen (one hopes). But be aware that you’ll need to be consistent; if you give in and help one time in 10, you’ll train her to keep asking. If you’re really backed into a corner, though, you can also try, “Hmmm, I don’t remember — it’s been a few months now.”

Also, consider screening her calls for a while. Call her back a day or two later so that she doesn’t get the immediate gratification of reaching you instantly when she has a work question. And mute phone notifications from her while you’re at work.

2. I don’t get my own parking pass because I’m married to a coworker

I recently started working at the same company as my husband. We are in different departments, have different schedules, and are in buildings three blocks apart. Both buildings are in the downtown area of our city where parking is prohibitively expensive. The company offers reimbursement for a parking space in local parking garages that brings the cost down to about $40 a quarter from $300 a quarter.

I never planned on commuting with my husband. I have not been bashful about saying this to anyone who asks. He runs late and we have different work schedules. I also don’t want the responsibility and stress of waking him up and keeping him on task. He is getting better at doing this on his own, but the progress has been hard fought due to mental illness. I’m afraid if I’m around pushing and pulling, he will lose that progress.

My company (specifically the HR department) is now saying that as we are a married couple we can only have reimbursement for one parking pass. I reemphasized that I wanted my own pass and pointed out that we have schedules that sometimes vary by multiple hours. They talked to my manager and she said that I can move my schedule to match his when it is only an hour or two separate. HR also said I could use the bus when our schedule varies too much.

Is this something I can/should push back on? I want to be viewed as an individual employee not the wife of so-and-so. I kind of feel like a brat being stuck on this but it is one of a couple surprises in the first week that mean I am taking a larger pay cut than I initially thought.

Yes, push back on it. They’re making presumptuous assumptions about what will work for your marriage, and it’s odd. I could maybe see them asking if you’d need a pass or not, but their insistence on this once you said you did is bizarre.

You shouldn’t receive fewer benefits simply because you’re married to another employee. I’d say it this way: “It’s not possible for me to share a parking pass with my husband because we’ll be driving to work separately, due to often having different commitments in the evenings. My understanding is that this is part of the benefits package offered to all employees, and I don’t want to miss out on part of the compensation package simply because of my marital status. Since I won’t be driving to work with Bob, I do need my own pass, like any other employee would.”

Present “we won’t be driving to work together” as an unalterable fact — regardless of any schedule changes they offer — and see where that gets you.

3. Should I send employers a lottery ticket with my resume?

I have been job hunting for a while now without much success. I’m looking for creative ways to get noticed by employers, and I had the idea to send my resume along with a lottery ticket and the message “Take a chance on meeting me!” My thinking is that it’s a cute way to stand out and some hiring managers might be intrigued enough to call me for an interview. Do you see any downsides to this?

Nooooo, do not do this. It’s really gimmicky, and it’ll look like you don’t trust your qualifications to merit an interview on their own (or understand why people get hired). It’s so gimmicky, in fact, that if I would have called you for an interview without the lottery ticket, this would make me hesitate to do it, both because the gimmick would raise questions about your judgment and understanding of professional norms and because I’d have qualms about reinforcing whatever thought process led to this.

The way you stand out to employers is by being a highly qualified candidate with a resume that shows a track record of achievement and writing a compelling, personalized cover letter. I know that’s frustrating — how will you stand out if other people have those things too, after all? — but that’s the only way to do it, at least if you want to screen for good employers who hire competently.

4. My office wants to make me use a nickname

My name is, let’s say, Jane Smith. I just received this communication on messenger from my office manager:

Quick question: do you have a fav nickname you like to go by?
How do you feel about “JS”‘? lol
On a scale of 1-10, how excited are you about Smithy?

I believe this is part of an overall strategy to improve office culture. How do I politely say I like to go by my first name/last name combination. Or just the former. Apparently everyone in the office got the same request and it’s mandatory. I have to submit a nickname by Monday! I honestly don’t have a nickname. My boyfriend suggested that I request to be referred to as “Your Majesty” but I’m a little worried that my coworkers might actually start calling me that.

“I feel strongly that names are personal and I don’t go by a nickname or want to go by one. So just Jane for me.”

If you’re pressed, “Really, I’m just Jane. In my family, names are a meaningful and personal thing and I would feel really uncomfortable having a nickname.”

And if you’re up for it: “I appreciate that this is an attempt to make the culture here friendlier. Being forced to go by a nickname I don’t like and don’t use would be the opposite of morale-boosting for me. If we want to improve the culture, maybe we can talk about (insert actually useful thing your office needs here).”

I headcanon them both strongly as bi and would rather that is not explicitly contradicted in the fic. But just not mentioning orientation (whether it's a slash fic or not) is perfectly fine.

PH #184: Aveyond (Video Games), Quasimorph (Video Game), Geneforge

Request 1 by DreckDetritusAndDross
Aveyond (Video Games)
Characters: Te'ijal Ravenfoot
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I have a headcanon that Te'ijal Ravenfoot is a psychopath. I would love a story that explored this concept further, delving into how Te'ijal's psychopathy would affect/recontextualize both her interactions with her colleagues and her actions throughout the Aveyond games. Furthermore, content that supplements those already in the Aveyond games, such as extra conversations or scenes, would also be welcome.
DNW: Unrequested kinks, mundane/setting change AUs, Te'ijal being "cured" of her psychopathy (i.e. being made neurotypical), Te’ijal character bashing*, neurodivergence being used to excuse bad behavior**.
*Given the stigma surrounding psychopathy, I understand if there is any confusion over this specific DNW. Let me make this clear: psychopaths are still people; having little or no empathy or emotional intelligence does not make one categorically evil or dangerous. For the purposes of this prompt, Te’ijal should be a person with both rights and accountability.
**Using neurodivergence to excuse bad behavior sounds something like this: “She can’t take responsibility for her actions because she can’t control herself/she doesn’t know what she’s doing/her brain isn’t wired correctly/etc.”
On a related note, I am fine with the inclusion of sanist language, bigotry, and/or violence as long as it is not presented as ethically/morally correct by the story itself. Keep in mind that hostility towards a neurodivergent offender in retaliation to the offender perpetrating antisocial behavior, such as inflicting harm upon or violating the rights of others, is not necessarily sanism.
On another related note, I am also fine with Te'ijal receiving treatment for her psychopathy as long as it does not fall into the trope of curing neurodivergence.
Disclaimer: Psychopathy is not a condition that one can be clinically diagnosed with. The proper diagnostic term for people exhibiting behavior commonly associated with psychopathy is antisocial personality disorder. However, the term "psychopathy" is still useful as a descriptor for a distinct pattern of behavior within the spectrum of antisocial personality disorder.
P.S.: Below are some helpful resources if you need to do research on psychopathy or antisocial personality disorder. Of course, feel free to use other sources for further research.

P.P.S.: If you are unfamiliar with the concept of sanism, several definitions with sources are provided below. Like before, feel free to consult additional resources.
From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanism): “Sanism, saneism, mentalism, or psychophobia refers to the systemic discrimination against or oppression of individuals perceived to have a mental disorder or cognitive impairment.”
From The Ability Toolbox (https://theabilitytoolbox.com/sanism-mental-illness/): “Sanism is prejudice against people with mental illness. Sanism can take the form of harassment, bullying, violence, and discrimination in healthcare, employment, housing, and other aspects of daily life.”
From Simmons University Library (https://simmons.libguides.com/anti-oppression/anti-sanism): “Sanism often stems from the "pathology paradigm [that] ultimately boils down to just two fundamental assumptions:
1. There is one 'right,' 'normal,' or 'healthy' way for human brains and human minds to be configured and to function (or one relatively narrow 'normal' range into which the configuration and functioning of human brains and minds ought to fall).
2. If your neurological configuration and functioning (and, as a result, your ways of thinking and behaving) diverge substantially from the dominant standard of 'normal,' then there is Something Wrong With You." (from Nick Walker)”

Quasimorph (Video Game)
Characters: Francis Reid-Daly, John Hawkwood
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Quasimorph has become my greatest special interest over the past couple of years. One of the most fascinating things about it is the cyberpunk, science-fantasy dystopia portrayed in that game. I'd love a story that explores not just the lives of those who live in the anarcho-capitalist paradigm in Quasimorph. The scope of the available characters in this request covers the most violent, destructive, and brutal element of Quasimorph's society: the private military sector, as exemplified by both the soldier Francis Reid-Daly, and the proprietor John Hawkwood. My interests for a story in this fandom include: character studies, worldbuilding, action scenes, and violence (including blood and gore). Darkfics are welcome for this request.
DNW: Mundane/setting change AU.

Request 3 by DreckDetritusAndDross
Geneforge
Characters: Litalia (Geneforge)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I would love a story detailing how Litalia's tumultuous life and fight against the Shapers has affected her, both physically and mentally, as I feel that there's a lot of potential for a compelling narrative that is sadly underexplored, in my opinion, in the Geneforge saga.
DNW: Mundane/setting change AU.

PH #185: Przyłbice i kaptury – Kazimierz Korkozowicz, Knights of the Teutonic Order (1960), Piraci północy – Dariusz Domagalski, Grunwald Monument

Request 1 by FakeCirilla9
Przyłbice i kaptury – Kazimierz Korkozowicz
Characters: Ulryk von Jungingen (Przyłbice i kaptury – Kazimierz Korkozowicz)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Optional details:
The first chapter of this book is such a peanut gallery of all the adversaries of the story. This is my favourite characterisation of Ulryk in the literature so far. He's described in an incredibly sexy way, too, with eyes darkening in anger or sparkling in joy. During the introductory conversation, his mood switches from ire to amusement with the speed of a falling blade, and he manages to offend his late brother in front of a stranger.
And then there's Kuno! Obviously used to his master's volatile nature and making snarky remarks about it. Isn't that an interesting relationship? Why is the grand commander allowed to laugh at Ulryk's expense? How close are those two? Is there friendship or something more between them? Or maybe they're just two like-minded baddies united by common politics?
DNWs:
Animal death, especially no dead horses in the Battle of Grunwald, please. Don't hurt any dogs too.
(I'm fine with the characters eating meat or hunting for food, but if it's for sport, let them rather hunt pagans. Murder as many human characters as you wish. MCD is allowed by all means.)

Knights of the Teutonic Order (1960)
Characters: Ulrich von Jungingen - Knights of the Teutonic Order (1960)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Optional details:
Ulrich has a golden armour here! How cool is that? I'd be satisfied to receive a short piece with an armour kink.
Or, if you're thinking of something with a more ambitious plot, feel free to use Rotgier as well. Does Ulrich confront him about the kidnapped girl after the heroes of the story complain about it to the grand master of the Order? Or is he too busy seizing power or mourning his brother's death or both? If he acknowledges his underling’s fault, is he angry at him or does he brush the whole affair off, maybe even providing some plausible excuses to help to sweep it under the rug?
Or, a darker take: I've heard that the punishment for a Teutonic knight who broke the chastity vows was flogging administered by the grand master himself. I'd adore to see such a scene unfolding between Ulrich and Rotgier.

This is an easy-to-read book, in which the characters have emotional depth as thick as a sheet of printing paper. Ulryk is evil here because the plot demands a punching bag for the main hero. But I love that for the main adversary of the story, of all the possible Teutonic knights, the author chose Ulryk. The idea that Ulryk von Jungingen and Klaus Störtebeker met in person is glorious. They also got an incredibly ~~cool~~ hot sword-fighting scene in the book. Maybe the fic could deal with the aftermath of that encounter?

Animal death, especially no dead horses in the Battle of Grunwald, please. Don't hurt any dogs too.

Optional details:
I know it was erected to honour king Jagiełło, but I'm not a big fan of him, and he's so distant on his high horse there. Whereas Ulrich is literally within one's hand reach (as you can see by his statue's fingers polished to gold by countless tourists). And isn't the sprawled pose marvellous? It's oddly satisfying on a primal level to see him thrown there at Vytautas’ feet, like one more war trophy from the battlefield.

DC vs. Vampires (DC Comics)
Characters: Dick Grayson (DC vs. Vampires), Koriand'r (DC vs. Vampires), Jason Todd (DC vs. Vampires), Hal Jordan (DC vs. Vampires)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

DC DNW:

- Dick whump, hurt!Dick, comparing Dick’s trauma to Jason’s as if they’re equal (no mentioning Catalina, no implying that Dick's heart stopping in Forever Evil is equivalent to Jason's death etc.)
- Tim whump, hurt!Tim, mentions of Titan's Tower incident, implying Tim is a victim of any sort (when in doubt just don't write him)
- / ships for solo Jason (other than childhood noncon, Dick/Jay, and background canon ships)
- purely platonic Dick & Jay (“will they won’t they,” pre-slash both fine, but if they’re not shipped together I’d rather Dick be mean to Jason)
- reverse Robins or AUs where Jason and Dick's age difference is shortened significantly or reversed (if topic comes up Dick being 3+ yrs older is fine, but preferably their canon 6+ yrs)
- top!Jason, Jason being the only one who smokes or swears, Jason characterized as "illiterate/dumb"
- bottom Dick (when penetration is concerned, however oral is fine no matter who's receiving), sub/"subby" Dick
- Jason having facial scars or crooked features
- Jason being described as overly bulky or "big" (especially if he's Robin or pre/without Lazarus pit, then he should stay small)
- Dick being described as physically small or thin or weak or "feminine", exaggerating Dick and Jason's body size difference
- (if A/B/O) Dick being anything other than alpha
- Dick being characterized as a ray of sunshine, a self-sacrificing martyr, or is unsure and lacking self-confidence
- side/implied/potential pairings involving Dick unless it's clear he's the top and the "leading party" of that relationship; no side/past/potential Sladick
- Dick Grayson having prey features for animal features AUs
- Romani Dick
- focusing on Dick's ass, ass jokes

DNW-general:

- discussing "social issues" (gender politics, racism etc.)
- Unrequested gender swap
- unrequested trans/ace headcanons
- Non-con when the victim stays unaroused (fine if orgasm/arousal is forced)
- Permanent non-canon character death or injury/mutilation for requested ships (fine for unrequested chars, for example feel free to kill off Bruce if he isn't requested)
- race change from canon (except Romani!Dick, which is a dnw)
- Raceplay
- xeno pronouns (“they/them” = great; “it/its” = great in a dehumanization/degradation context or to show how inhuman a character is; “xe/ze” = not these please)
- Spitting in mouth
- vomit kink
- weight gain
- food used in sex (things like hand feeding as a part of D/s relationship is fine, but no food going near places other than hands and mouth please)
- Religion being discussed as a major philosophical topic while presenting it as unironically positive (religious fanaticism/piety as character trait/period-typical religion is fine, just not the narration itself being "preachy").

Treats are welcome!
Dick with Jason, Hal, or Kory. Dick is the only required character, but I definitely don't mind more characters added as long as I get the sexy evil vampire Nightwing I crave. (Dick with his harem of willing and unwilling thralls? YES PLEASE)
Vampire King Dick is the best thing ever. He's so evil and ruthless and I just want to see him fuck everyone up and laugh while drinking their loved ones' blood out of a cup while sadistically taunting them. Tell me there wasn't sexual tension when he had dying Jason at his mercy and pulled off his mask, or a huge D/s undertone in his Lord/Lieutenant relationship with Hal. Or the part where he implied having Kory as a prisoner while using her blood as a temporary "cure" for signs of vampirism. Just want to see Dick as a dominant, totally remorseless vampire villain who you want to hate but also can't help but be enthralled by because "sexy vampires" and stuff.
Kinda into any kind of kinky scenario where Dick keeps Jason or Kory prisoner as unturned blood cows/sex toys, or Hal being a good little submissive vampire servant, or Jason being a good little submissive vampire servant in a world where Dick turns him. Of course if shippy/NSFW isn't your thing I'm just really into Dick being a demanding vampire lord in general so him basically commanding Jason or Hal or keeping Kory as a prisoner with heavy seductive undertones would be awesome too.
Evil Dick and top Dick (if you want to go shippy at all) only please. I have a huge squick with fanon's obsession with whumping Dick Grayson and bottom Dick so that's the only thing I ask. That includes things like typically OOC "bottom" traits (see DNW breakdown). Also, Jason is my blorbo so if you're writing him, please don't write him as ugly or dumb or "always bad" (turning bad from vampirism is very good however!).

DNW-general:

- Unrequested gender swap

- food used in sex (things like hand feeding as a part of D/s relationship is fine, but no food going near places other than hands and mouth please)

Would love worldbuilding or something that tells me more about the characters.
The full game gave us a lot of info on what exactly caused the visitors, but there’s still a lot we don’t know. Why is the pale man so in control while the cashier girl so lost? Are there different kinds of visitors? Are the visitors caused by fungus or the bug in the ears? Are they revived from the dead? Are some of them more “original” or “powerful” than the others? Do they really wear human skin (other than the pale man, the old granny also has a face that droops the longer you speak to her)? And how do the sun and FEMA play into all of this?
Are the visitors like vampires—risen from the dead, can’t enter without an invitation, and anyone can become one?
You don’t have to include all the requested characters, but please include the Protagonist.
The protagonist—his backstory is so intriguing. I want to know more. I want to know why he’s the way he is—lonely and borderline suicidal, but has to learn to open his heart for his guests. One thing the game really left me wanting is that there isn’t a single ending that’s objectively “good.” No… I didn’t really like the death ending in which we assume the Protagonist just… died. I’d love to see your take on a “good ending” in which the Protagonist not only survives but… is grateful that he does. Maybe with some of the guests being his found family. Perhaps he ends up fulfilling the neighbor’s last wish and adopts his daughter (damaged man reluctantly adopting an orphaned child is one of my all-time favorite tropes!). Or forming a bond with the widow and raising the neighbor’s daughter with her?
Other guests—not all listed, but I’d also love to learn more about any of the other guests that you find interesting.
I also find the demon baby ending really creepy and would love the backstory of the seductive woman and the cult.
Since only a few characters have canonical names, I’d love for you to come up with names for characters who don’t, but would prefer them to be other Eastern European names to fit with the setting.

Dread Weight (Video Game)
Characters: Kurt (Dread Weight), Dimitri (Dread Weight), Protagonist (Dread Weight)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

DNW-general:

- real-life politics (for this canon, it's fine to touch on politics, but if you do, I prefer that you either don't mention specific historical leaders' names or events, or just make up fictional names for them)
- Unrequested gender swap
- unrequested trans/ace headcanons
- Non-con when the victim stays unaroused (fine if orgasm/arousal is forced)
- Permanent non-canon character death or injury/mutilation for requested ships
- race change from canon
- Raceplay
- xeno pronouns (“they/them” = great; “it/its” = great in a dehumanization/degradation context or to show how inhuman a character is; “xe/ze” = not these please)
- Spitting in mouth
- vomit kink
- weight gain
- food used in sex (things like hand feeding as a part of D/s relationship is fine, but no food going near places other than hands and mouth please)

Can be Dimitri &/ Kurt; Dimitri &/ Protagonist; Kurt &/ Protagonist; OR Dimitri &/ Kurt &/ Protagonist. I'd really really love for this to be either romantic, sexual, or something similar, no matter which character group you're picking. But if that's really not your thing, that's fine, I just really want to see these characters! I have a slight preference for plot focus rather than platonic relationship focus if romance/smut is off the table.
I'll admit, I haven't played the game hands-on, only watched numerous playthrough videos of it. I think I've seen all the routes, however, so I should understand whichever detail you want to focus on. What I like about the relationships from this game is that... they're all kinda fucked up? Kurt's manipulation of everyone around him; Dimitri being a doctor who wants to do good but is inexcusable in enabling Kurt's evil deeds (possibly blinded by love?); the Protagonist being the player character connecting the most with us but ends up revealing as an enforcer of a tyrannical regime... Messy feelings and fucked up power dynamics all around!!! Kurt keeping Dimitri by his side using sweet talk but holds unspoken power over him; Kurt being all around creepy and fucked up with Protagonist when she lost her memories (I think the whole non-consensual mind/body modification alone is a HUGE assault on someone's person); Dimitri trauma bonding with the Protagonist over Kurt's manipulations... Or put them together, have Dimitri bonding with Protagonist only for Kurt to discover them and punish them both, or let Kurt be at their mercy. Going darker: Kurt forcing them into doing things they aren't comfortable with as punishment, or something with an unbalanced V-type relationship where Kurt clearly prefers one of them but keeps the other around anyway just to be cruel.
Other random ideas:
- anything similar to the Dimitri ending (possibly without the deaths?) where they successfully run away together (whether in a romantic way or not)
- I kept having thoughts about Kurt sexually assaulting the protagonist what with undressing in front of her and sleeping in her bed... but I'd also love to see more of the Anime-esque "bastard boyfriend" trope where he essentially tortures her (traps her in a toxic relationship) even though he's written as the pretty boy male love interest stereotype
- Kurt and Dimitri's backstory, how they got together, etc. I see their relationship being a bit more consensual than the above, but I will never say no to noncon either, especially with how fucked up Kurt is.
- Kurt arrested by Protagonist ending: the potential ramifications of that. Also I get really excited thinking about a Protagonist with her memories back giving Kurt a taste of his own medicine. Her torturing Kurt (whether in a kinky way or not) for information or for what he'd done would be great, as does a wider look at the people she works for and the attempt at recreating Kurt's brand of immortality
- something gen (or not so gen) horror involving Kurt's fate or Dimitri crawling inside the mansion walls would be GREAT
For Protagonist (if you're including her), I'm fine with any OC name you want to give her as long as it's reasonably believable for a female character with an Eastern European-esque background. I'm also fine with either second or third-person narration with her as long as it's not literally readerfic (no stuff like y/n or deliberating involving the reader, just treat her as her own character please.)

DNW-general:

- underage human/human sex for this canon (parasitic erotic horror involving underage characters, with canon-typical body horror elements, is welcome for this canon! eg. mpreg with worms)
- discussing "social issues" (gender politics, racism etc.)
- Unrequested gender swap
- unrequested trans/ace headcanons
- race change from canon
- xeno pronouns (“they/them” = great; “it/its” = great in a dehumanization/degradation context or to show how inhuman a character is; “xe/ze” = not these please)

- Religion being discussed as a major philosophical topic while presenting it as unironically positive (religious fanaticism/piety as character trait/period-typical religion is fine, just not the narration itself being "preachy").

I’m a sucker for stories where the trauma that characters face is treated with care. The middle of the book nearly lost me, but the ending pulled me back full force!
Damn! I was hoping for Newton to survive, but I can’t complain that it ended up being Max. The chapter dedicated to his lasting trauma is sad but so well done that I can even forgive the turtle scene. I really want to see some form of happy ending where both boys survive and grow into adulthood, or just anything that’s less sad than the canon ending. And what about the aftermath? How would Newton corroborate with Max’s version of events? How would the parents cope? Would the two surviving boys form some kind of a trauma bond? Max/Newton is just as good as Max & Newton, so gimme shippy or gen content, I love them both!
I also love dark shit and the body horror of this book, especially when the worms are making Shelley believe that he’s pregnant and must now protect his “babies.” That’s both fucked up and has a… strange erotic undertone that makes you kinda uncomfortable. I love body horror, especially the type when a foreign parasitic entity is rewiring someone’s brain or modifying their body, severing their identity and making them into tools for the entity’s procreation. I like Shelley’s psychopathic creepiness as well as the scifi horror of the worms. Gimme something creepy, if you’d like! I’d love to see whump in which Shelley gets his hands (or the worms make him get his hands) on Max or Newton or both. Torturing them or making them into hosts just like Shelley. No happy ending is required for this, especially if you want to fully embrace the horror!

So many ideas could be explored! If you already have something in mind, go for it—and if you'd like to hear suggestions from me, read on! (And don't worry about whether you're fulfilling the "Worldbuilding" tag—anything you write will count as worldbuilding to me, even if the story just focuses on small corners of the world.)
Who was building the gigantic cat statue, and why? It's not clear exactly how long ago the human abandonment of the area took place, but I've considered the possibility that the left-behind drawings that look so much like the cat are actually of that very same cat, and whatever happened, happened recently enough that the cat and the people who left would have known each other. (Certainly it's clear that the water never rose this high before, since those drawings were left previously undamaged by water.) I get the impression also that the humans may simply have left this area and gone Somewhere Else (rather than vanishing entirely—though you may have other ideas!)—in which case, perhaps a human who knew the cat could learn something from the news about the place they left the cat behind in? (Whether they learn anything about the cat specifically or not.) Or further exploration of any of the animals' individual stories would be interesting, before or after the events of the movie—whether the nominated characters or any of the other creatures they encounter.

"I think we're even dealing with some sort of test. To take the idea further, it may be precisely because we can now envision the idea of being programs that the simulation is offering us this test. And we'd better get it right, or at least make something interesting out of it."
"Why's that?" Silveria asks.
"Because if we fail, the entities running this simulation could just shut it down."
Anything: I'm interested in anything you do for this! (Don't worry about whether you're fulfilling the "Worldbuilding" tag—anything you write will count as worldbuilding to me, even if the story just focuses on individual characters.)
I otherwise haven't found the idea that we're all living in a simulation all that compelling, but I find it so interesting that the test is clearly failed and the simulation ends on the last page. And to think: the Chinese government hiding the existence of their duplicate plane and sequestering the passengers (apparently permanently) didn't fail the test. Even the malicious killing of one set of duplicates caused by the (publicly-known) duplicate plane that landed in the US didn't fail the test. But the American president choosing to shoot down the next duplicate of the same plane (…the triplicate??), killing all aboard: that failed the test and ended the simulation. What does this suggest about the priorities and ethical standards of the entities running the test? Could there be other conditions that would also fail the test, and if so, I wonder what they are?
What would have happened if the triplicate plane had been allowed to land? Would the same plane just have kept coming again and again? Were there/would there have been any future versions of the duplicate plane that landed in China? Do any other places see their own versions of a duplicate plane? Do any other strange events start occurring as part of this phenomenon? Or you could do a close-in focus on any of the characters—what additional alternate branching pathways could unfold for them?
Or you could explore further into the entities running the simulation! Who are they? What are the goals of the simulation? Is this a serious-business experiment or just some folks fucking around? Is there future IRB overseeing experiments on virtual subjects? Who's funding this? (If any of these questions even apply..?)
Or: there were a lot of other people on the plane! What are any of their stories?

Fandom promo post from last year with more information about the source! https://yuletide.dreamwidth.org/326270.html?thread=5443198#cmt5443198
I don't even have a clear idea of what kind of story I want to request here, it just makes me happy every time I think of Myrna, so I'd like to see more of her!
She knows Phil so well! She knows she can't be with him anymore! She still loves him and wishes him well! She can predict the exact way he is going to be a dumbass on his sailing trip adventure and mitigate it pre-emptively. She KNOWS what is UP. She knows what she wants out of life, and I hope she gets it.
(Phil doesn't have to be in or even mentioned in the story, of course—which maybe you would have assumed from the nomination and character request anyway!—it's just hard for me to talk about what I like about her without mentioning him at all, since in the book we only know about her via that context.)

"You like him."
"Yes. I do."
"I see the way you are with one another."
"Are you jealous?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I know you love me. And because I believe we must be free to feel whatever we feel, so that we never mistake rebellion for reality. Because I like his company too."
"You like his company?"
"I do."
Man, for like a minute there I thought they were heading for a happy threesome! And then that did not happen. But it could in fanfiction! What if they all got to love each other at the same time? I loved loved loved those glimpses of the physical affection between François and Louis, and Barbe-Nicole's lack of jealousy, and how much Barbe-Nicole and François loved each other—put these ingredients together!
If you want to write about sexytimes with any/all of them—some possible elements I find interesting are: involving any of the accoutrements of wine production (from tasting the finished products all the way to the mud of the fields the grapes grow in); reading/quoting sexy literature/letters to each other; the domineering streak in Barbe-Nicole demonstrated when she kisses Louis and then tells him "Now, get out of my office." (I LOVED that line.) And I always love non-heteronormative sex.
I'm not sure I see a way to a happy alternate ending for all three of them, without any way of identifying in nineteenth-century France whatever mental illness François is dealing with, much less how to treat it. But the three of them can share happiness along the way, even if it still leads to sadness.
Even if they're not all together at the same time, focusing on the important relationships between each pair of them would make me happy. For instance, would Barbe-Nicole and Louis ever talk about Louis' past relationship with François after Barbe-Nicole and Louis get together after François' death?
Barbe-Nicole tells her father-in-law that they both failed to recognize that François needed help, and that's why he's dead—she must feel such grief and guilt over her perception of failing him. That line she and François exchange about "wanting to die in your arms" is really striking, especially how in the end François said he wanted to die in Barbe-Nicole's arms...and then he died alone.
I really feel for Barbe-Nicole being so haunted by François in every corner of their home, even as she tries to move ahead alone into the future they had planned for themselves together. Perhaps the haunting could even be literal, and François could be a ghost?
François singing to the vines and getting Barbe-Nicole to do so as well reminded me of a beekeeping tradition I've heard about, where when the beekeeper marries, the new spouse has to be introduced to the bees, and somebody also needs to tell the bees when the old beekeeper has died. Perhaps the vines kept growing so well for Barbe-Nicole because she already sang for them and they knew her?
If you do want to try for a happy ending, I'll also note that in general, the approach I prefer for a "happy ending" with mental illness in stories is that of characters finding ways to manage it/work around it/live with it, although the effects never go away entirely—and not a solution that magically fixes everything.
Reading the book the movie is based on showed me that the character dynamics I was so interested in were entirely invented for the movie :-D That being the case, feel free to port the character dynamics into a different setting if you'd like to play around with it (or just don't want to do historical research :-P)—an alternate past with magic (like the couple of magic ideas I have above)? an In Space AU is always fun? or bring your own ideas!

I'd be very happy with anything that fills in some of the details (mundane or fascinating) between the hourly updates in the Bluesky account. (Like, what does the contract for the weekly garbage pickup by the monster who eats it look like?) There are also hints of a tragic backstory that could be fascinating to explore.
I only nominated the wizard, but any other characters you want to bring in as well are very welcome! In fact, maybe it could be interesting to see characters in combination that the wizard usually interacts with separately? I do love the whole little social network the wizard has around himself!
I do especially love the close relationship between the wizard and the ex-paladin (the ex-paladin minds the wizard's stall at the weekly market for him and BRUSHES CRUMBS off the wizard's CHEEK when they eat together!) and I'd love to see more elaboration on it (whether romantic, platonic, or [vaguely handwaves]. I believe the ex-paladin's gender is never specified, so you can do whatever you want with it!
I also love how the wizard takes care of the little cat and would be delighted to see more of that! Also, what's going on those times when the little cat appears to be reading a tome/grimoire/spellbook at night when the wizard is asleep?

The 19th Annual Fandom Holiday of More Joy Day will be Thursday, January 8th, 2026.

What is More Joy Day? In short it's this: in 2008, in the interest of spreading more joy,

sdwolfpup proposed that on a designated day in early January we each engage in one or more acts, either online or in physical space (or both!), which bring joy to another person, and which might even inspire that person to spread joy further, exponentially onward.

For more details, and to see where to post on Dreamwidth your More Joy Day action(s), click here for

sdwolfpup's post.

And here's a Fanlore entry about More Joy Day.

SPREAD JOY!

Saw an interesting thing today for the second time: an ad on the back end of an OC Transpo bus for Hanhwa Ocean's KS-III submarines. Hanhwa Ocean is one of the firms competing for contracts to build submarines for the Canadian Navy. I'd expect to see the ads in the tunnel under MacKenzie King Bridge that connects the Rideau Centre with DND HQ. Not on a bus out in the eastern suburbs of Ottawa.

(I'll try to remember to upload the picture soon.)

Do you have a rec for this week? Just reply to this post with something queer or queer-adjacent (such as, soap made by a queer person that isn't necessarily queer themed) that you'd, well, recommend. Self-recs are welcome, as are recs for fandom-related content!

Or have you tried something that's been recced here? Do you have your own report to share about it? I'd love to hear about it!

when your boyfriend, who turned out to be a fabulously wealthy member of the magical nobility, insists on buying you an expensive ring, and not just to get at his awful family who all hate you?

Last time that happened to me, I told him, "The ring is nice, but seriously, get your shit together and stand up to your folks, or the wedding's off." And this is why I'm not married today. Fabulous wealth is all well and good, but there are limits, and realistically speaking, you probably can't murder all your inlaws.

Alas, our protagonist is going to take the next book and a half to put her foot down. I can just tell. Unlike any sensible heroine, she's going to spend all her time trying to placate those assholes instead. Honey, it's a wasted effort! If you insist on standing by your man, stand by him by booking a couples spa date - no parents allowed.

(The ring isn't even magical. It's just expensive. I mean, honestly, I would not put up with those people for a nonmagical ring, and here she is insisting that it's all too much, it's too valuable, is he sure he wants to spend what, to him, amounts to pocket change on little old her? Please.)

I made a cake for my dad's book group, as is customary, and it wasn't until late in the day, long after dropping it off, that I found out the book group had cancelled its in-person meeting - to be fair, they hadn't known that until the afternoon, what with someone coming down with something and everyone else electing not to drive.

It also turns out that my parents had a building party scheduled that same night. One my dad thought he wouldn't go to with the book group, but could attend since the commute would only be from the lobby to the apartment. One where he could bring a cake that I'd happened to have dropped off earlier that day.

The group had been reading Charles Dickens, and I thought an apple ginger spice cake would be fitting to the general vibe of the novel. It turned out to be a set of flavors that were just as fitting for a near-solstice wintertime party.

I'm always happy when something I've baked finds its way to a good home, and I'm even happier when there's a little story to go along with the cake.

Read A Truce That Is Not Peace by Miriam Toews, a slim, unconventional memoir. Framed as her repeated failure to respond to the prompt why do you write? to the satisfaction of a literary conference in Mexico City (she was eventually uninvited), it reads like a commonplace book: a mix of anecdotes, and copies of letters Toews exchanged with her sister over the years (the answer to why do you write? being, originally, because she asked me to), and musings on how to go about creating a "wind museum", and random quotes and poetry and the names/details of historical figures who died by suicide. It helped to know a bit about Toews' background - mostly that she was raised Mennonite and that both her father and sister died by suicide - because eventually both of those things are clearly stated, but I did get a sense that she presumed someone picking up Toews' personal non-fiction on why she writes has already read at least some of her novels, many of which have drawn-from-life elements.

In other writing about writing, I received This Year: 365 Songs Annotated: A Book of Days by John Darnielle as an early birthday/Christmas gift - an illustrated, annotated collection of the Mountain Goats' lyrics - and, of course, immediately just skimmed it for my favorite songs, which quickly turned into reading random chunks because each "annotation" is a short paragraph, max - sometimes about the context for writing the song, or commentary on the characters/story, or what inspired it, or how people respond to it, or some observation/quote/etc. that is not obviously related to the song in any way - so once you've opened it to a specific page it's easy to just keep going for a while, and anyway, now I have to figure out to actually read this book. Just read it cover to cover? Listen to each song in the order they appear, and read the accompanying passage? (Which is a cool idea, but would take forever. Theoretically, I could do one song per day, devotional-style, but I know my attention span well enough to know that's not happening.)

No, I did not spend all the money in my wallet on chocolate*, but I treated us to a box of chocolates from Serenade, the chocolatier in Brookline with a wide selection of vegan chocolates.

I took the bus to Brookline Village, walked a little extra because I was wrong about which bus stop to use, walked into the shop, and asked for a one-pound box.

I bought two vegan caramels, which Adrian had asked for; I'd have gotten more, but I wasn't sure what she or Cattitude think of sea salt caramel. Just for myself, I got six dairy truffles, three lemon and three lime. The rest was a few (vegan) chocolate creams, and a lot of chocolate-dipped fruit and nuts, including several of their excellent chocolate covered plums, a candy I haven't seen anywhere else.

I came home via Trader Joe's, where I bought fruit, a bell pepper, hummus, pre-cooked chicken sausages, a carton of chocolate ice cream, and a box of frozen vanilla and chocolate macarons.

Even counting the chocolate part of the groceries, I would have had money left from the $79 that happens to be how much cash is in my wallet right now. That's a pretty arbitrary metric, since I don't always have the same amount of cash (I do make a point of having some, because cash still comes in handy sometimes).

Last night I discovered that Kiiras had released a Christmas song, called "Kiirasmas." I don't think I'd objectively say it's a good song, but it's still fun to listen to.
Watch on YouTube
A few years ago, I did a K-pop Christmas song Advent calendar. This morning, as I added "Kiirasmas" to my K-pop Christmas playlist, I realized that if I wanted to post the whole playlist one song a day, I'd have had to start back on October 15! ^^
After having to spend 40 minutes listening to the store playing Christmas music while I waited for the pharmacy to fill a prescription. I'd like to say: No matter how Christmas-adjacent some of its lyrics may be, "My Favorite Things" is not a Christmas song. I'm willing to get seriously injured on this hill. However, if it means that I'll hear "The Christmas Song" less often, I'm willing to act like it's a Christmas song.

https://www.askamanager.org/2025/12/updates-employee-lies-about-overtime-coworker-blames-sexism-just-is-just-bad-at-her-job-and-more.html

https://www.askamanager.org/?p=34811

It’s “where are you now?” month at Ask a Manager, and all December I’m running updates from people who had their letters here answered in the past. Here are three updates from past letter-writers.

1. Employee keeps working unpaid overtime and lies about it (#5 at the link)

When I had a stern talk to Pam warning her she would be fired for any further unapproved overtime, she wrote an email to say she was suing us.

This bizarre announcement prompted me to start poking around as you advised. I discovered Pam had been stealing cash from work. It explained a lot about her eagerness to do overtime. She was outraged when confronted. Pam declared that she was innocent before god and swore to her recently passed mother’s name she never stole. She wept and pleaded innocence so convincingly that I would’ve believed her if not for the CCTV evidence.

After she was fired, she reported us for migrant exploitation. She alleged (falsely) we forced her to work 100 hour weeks without pay. She would also call me 40-50 times a day and send threatening emails demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This was bewildering because Pam was pleasant, popular with customers, and mild mannered. She did lie about weird personal things unrelated to work, but otherwise she was a good worker.

I wasn’t particularly concerned with her threats because she went back to the her home country after being fired and her work visa automatically cancelled. None of the official investigations came to anything because we clearly had done no wrong, but had plenty of evidence of her wrongdoing.

When she continued the harassment, however, I sent her an email explaining if she contacted me one more time I would post CCTV footage of her stealing on YouTube and forward it to everyone I knew in the local community. She completely stopped after this — except the one time when she listed me as a work reference months later (!!!!)

She did not get a good work reference.

2. My coworker blames sexism when she’s just bad at her job

The coworker was let go, and it’s been a lot easier without her.

They hired someone more experienced to a similar role who was also a woman, and this new employee has been doing well.

I’ve worked a little more directly with the supervisor in question, and I don’t know what he’s like as a manager, but overall he’s much more competent than she portrayed him.

In my original letter, I left out some things like her utter lack of a filter and tendency to carelessly gossip about sensitive things that were grating on me as well, so overall it’s such a relief not to have to work with her anymore.

Thanks for your advice and to the commenters! It was excellent as always.

3. How can I get what I need from my flaky boss?

I really appreciated you publishing my question. I don’t have much of an update to share which is why I was waiting – I am still in the same job with the same boss. She has improved somewhat but I still struggle to get reliable responses/follow through from her throughout the workweek. Your advice was helpful and I’ve found that it’s gotten easier to deal with this as I’ve become more comfortable in my position and confident in my own knowledge and decision making. She has become more self-aware in some ways and has been better about keeping our meetings, documenting things, etc. I also have learned I have to document everything so that I can go back and remind her what she said before! At this point she is generally happy to give me a lot of autonomy and I feel a little more prepared now to operate with that autonomy/get help from other sources. It was just scary at first when I was a new grad working with our vulnerable client population with so little guidance! I am also prepping for the next step in my career so it is much easier to deal with all of this knowing I have an end date!

Thank you so much again for your help! I really appreciated everyone’s comments and thoughts.

Hi there, thank you so much for writing me a fic! I hope the information below will help you in your creative process. I am generally very open about my requests so don't let the optional details shackle you. Just mind the DNWs. TREATS ARE WELCOME!
LIKES: Angst (both light and heavy) • Hurt and comfort (any type) • Forced proximity • Pining • Banter • First times (meeting, kiss, sex etc.) • Character studies and introspection • Mildly dark fics (just mind the DNWs) • Sexual/Emotional Tension (Resolved and Unresolved) • Mild D/s dynamics (can be non-sexual) • Possessive behaviour • Canon divergence and Fix-It • Prequels to canon • Missing Scenes • Enemies to friends to lovers (doesn't have to follow this order) • Falling in love/lust unexpectedly • Slow burn • Conflicting/ambiguous desires (love but hates, wants but can’t have, etc.)
DNWs: Rape and violent sex (dub-con is 100% fine though) • Gore, vore, snuff, scat, necrophilia • Graphic canon-atypical violence/torture (mentions of it are perfectly fine if it's a canon-typical element, just don’t make it the centrepiece) • AUs in general, aside from canon divergence and fix-it • Underage (keep it 17yo+) • Character bashing
Character Exceptions & Optional Details:
I love Eastern Promises! Nikolai is such an intriguing character, there is just so much about him we… don't know. I also love the way his and Anna’s connection develops, even though it never becomes fully romantic in the film. So any story exploring their relationship, either canon compliant, post-canon or divergent AU, are welcome. I personally love shippy fics, but you are free to make it Gen if it makes more sense to you. Regarding Kirill, you can definitely add him to the story if you want, as long as it doesn’t focus too much on him.

Character Exceptions & Optional Details:
I re-watched Kindred: The Embraced this year and I felt like Frank and Julian’s relationship never really got the deepening it deserved. I mean… they interact in the first episodes, come to an agreement (something that sort of defies The Masquerade, right?), Julian actually puts Kohanek under his protection and after that… not much else happens between them. So I’d love a fic that could fill in the gaps, or expand the canon in this regard. I like shippy, but non-shippy is just as good. Ah, and because it involves vampires, bloodplay is fine too.

Ralph Fiennes, Gerard Butler and Shakespearean tragedy. What more can we ask for? I love the modern twist this film gave to the Shakespeare's original play and now I want more of Aufidius & Coriolanus together. Anything goes (I'm all in for shippy, or whatever it can possibly be for these two), really, just avoid the DNWs. By the way, you can take elements from the original play if you like, but I prefer that the fic focuses on the movie-verse.

I especially love the idea that Salieri's love language is jealousy, and also of Wolfie giving him trouble and testing his patience. Whump!Mozart having to rely on Salieri is also a nice one. Or Salieri actually missing Mozart after he's gone (or some afterlife interaction). Anyway, feel free to explore it as you wish. Is pairing is a big no-no for you, a Gen fic is just fine!

This is another film I love and when it comes to Alejandro and Matt… anything goes for me! Shippy or not shippy, I would love to see more of their dynamic, the strange friendship (?) between them. Feel free to explore back stories, missing scenes, character study, after-canon possibilities… You can focus on any of the two films as well. If you want to include Kate (from the first film), that’s alright too because I really like her character, as long as the focus is on Matt and Alejandro’s… thing. Whatever that thing might be. I understand the films are very violent and it’s ok to include it in the story as long as it’s not too graphic (like, really gorey descriptions). Shippy is always a plus but never a must.

พิพิธภัณฑ์รัตติกาล | Midnight Museum (TV)
Characters: Khatha (Midnight Museum)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

This show was bananananas and I love it. Every episode a wilder explanation of what was going on than the last. I've requested Khatha alone because I'm fascinated by him but I'd love a fic that includes Chan or Dome, or if you wanted, Boon. The Boon Khatha Chan love triangle is very juicy and the idea that they've both just been living in the world, both trying to live up to Chan's legacy, is a lot.
What I liked best about the show is the strong interpersonal relationships and the really cool worldbuilding and I'd love to see more of that. I'm a believer that when Khatha asked Chan to be brothers he was doing a romantic confession and using the strongest language he could, like saying hey I want to be bonded forever. Anything that talks about their relationship and its legacy would be really cool
Prompts:
- Immortal Khatha training montage! We know that he heals when he's on museum ground, how did he figure that out? I'm also presuming he did a Bruce Wayne style travel the world and learn all about cursed artifacts and also learn languages and martial arts and stuff. All of that would be cool to read about
- Chan and Khatha and their years together before Chan got into the village healing business. Just the two outcasts against the world. Sweet times of them swimming in lakes and making out under waterfalls, pointing out constellations. And difficult moments of them avoiding others, figuring out food. Anything about them during that time
- Post-canon Khatha and Dome. He went through time and space to find him, we need that sequel. How do they get back? Do they get back. Are they both immortal beings with cosmic powers? Maybe it's a historical fic set during wwii with them trying to avoid getting discovered but getting entangled in things anyway - love a reluctant hero situation. Maybe they get back to the future and its about them re-learning each other and taking down Boon.
- Khatha/Chan/Dome. How does it happen? Dealer's choice. Maybe there's more time shenanigans, maybe Chan didn't really die to break the curse and he's just about, maybe they hop a dimension who knows, this canon allows for many possibilities. I just think it would be SO fraught and sexy. Dome who hasn't been betrayed and his honest love, Chan with the knowledge of Khatha and the complexity and the devotion, and Khatha who presumably is the most turned on a person could possibly be and ALSO has angst and stuff. Bonus if Khatha is worried that he's projecting his feelings about Chan onto Dome and then this threesome teaches him that he really, really isn't
- sex! magic! This canon needs so many sex magic fics. Where's the fuck or die pollen, where's the possessed locket that forces proximity until they have sex. Please write me an elaborate sex ritual that has to be done to uncurse an artifact. Ooh maybe it needs a virgin and Dome is the only one. We had Dome tied to a table and no one had a dubconny orgasm out of it, this is a crime. Maybe it's part of Khatha's training montage where he has to learn the various sex arcane techniques... maybe he has to teach them to someone else

PEBACA Concert RPF
Characters: Gun Atthaphan Phunsawat (PEBACA Concert RPF)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I'm happy to feature a story about Gun alone or in a ship. I like OffGun, TayGun, and OffGunTay. If you want to include New, Krist, Singto or any other GMM members, please feel free!

OffGun prompts:
- fic centred on Off's breakup with Mook. What did that do to the dynamic? Also Gun is in interviews saying he was having a hard time with people gossiping about him, I'd be interested in seeing that explored
- I love the narrative of Off opening up to Gun so anything about that. A moment where Off decided to change, 5x Gun reached for Off and 1x Off did, a time when Gun thought about ending their CP
- Gun being anxious or nervous at events and how Off has a routine for him or a system or whatever I just love knowledge and intimacy and being partners
- so Off was different in private with Gun... let's take that all the way. Prompt where they're hooking up but in public Off acts like Gun's touch is a burden AND they're having to perform boyfriendness. You cannot go too angsty with this, I loved theory of love, I like only friends, I wanna be miserable. Or funny if you prefer! But just the various mental loop de loops going on. Eventual happy ending pls pls
- Off and Gun covering for each other's secret dating lives. Maybe they make alibis for each other? And then Off realises actually, maybe he doesn't want to be keeping track of Gun's dating life to help cover it maybe he'd like to be part of that dating life!
- Off needing comfort after the big scene where Black beats up Sean, maybe him dealing with how hard it was for someone with Gun's face to look at him like that
- Off getting character bleed from playing Rome during Our Skyy and dealing with how he looks at Gun differently now
- the first time Gun called Off Papii and how he reacted
- 5 secret gestures they use to communicate in public

TayGun are sooooo 😵
They need to be snuggling or they will perish. I love how whipped Tay is. Like he was roasting Off's bag and then Gun said actually that's my bag and Tay IMMEDIATELY said oh that's a cute bag. Like oh my god. They've known each other almost as long as Off has known Gun, Tay was there at the dedication ceremony for Puppy Honey and Kiss the Series.
Things about TayGun that are very juicy to me
- Off and Tay were roommates and really close friends. The idea of introducing your friend to your fake boyfriend and then them becoming real boyfriends... the emotional experience of your friend realising they like someone else more than you... the tension of the fake boyfriend v secret real boyfriend + friendship. But it's good, isn't it? To have everything be tangled up in people you like and trust already
- The way when people were hashtagging KristGun Krist basically stopped being in frame with Gun but when people called out Tay for snuggling with Gun he was like SHUT UP IM GONNA HUG HIM HARDER
- the way Gun and Tay are magnetically connected to each other
- Gun going to visit Tay's grandma and sitting and hanging out with her for hours
- Tay participating in the shipping of OffGun. Most of the 'best' OffGun moments were documented by Tay. The idea of a romantic partner supporting their babe's career by framing them as romantic with someone else
- PET
- WHEN IM PET I HAVE TO DO WHAT HE SAYS
- IM PRETTY SURE HE LET GUN BE OWNER WHENEVER HE WANTED
- Tay reads self-help books and instagrams Sarah McLachlan lyrics and Gun goes out and pops his pussy every Saturday, their mixture of vibes

Characters: Linus Ek
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I've seen epilogen pt 2!
I'm happy to receive fic about Linus and any of the other nominated characters but I'm particularly interested in Tanja. I'm really sad she died! I think their relationship was so interesting. I'm especially interested in a scenario where she survived and was hiding out in that house in s6 while they were under siege. The other partners were like this is messed up!! and scary!!! and I just think Tanja would have had a different perspective on that. She's been in that world longer and is no questions ride or die for the dangerous things Linus was doing. I'd love to see her have an in-law dinner with Sonja.
I'm also interested in his relationship with Emil, the kind of honorary uncle who is like pleeeeeeease stop doing crimes. Especially in some of those earlier periods; like Linus totally stole that scooter and Emil was like he's a good kid let him off. Like what was going on with them. Man is so beleagured. And after Linus stopped trusting the family (but still showed up) he clearly still trusted Emil.
Aside from that, I'd like anything about Linus. He has the worst time in that show--and that's tough competition considering everything that happens. I'm happy to see that continue. Or give him a nice day.

Young Royals (TV 2021) RPF
Characters: Edvin Ryding (Young Royals RPF), Omar Rudberg (Young Royals RPF)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

London rewired my brain and I ship them. I have written for them on my ao3 as Rioana if you are curious to some of my takes. What I love about Edmar is the way they take turns supporting each other in different areas. Edvin helped Omar be comfortable acting on camera, Omar helped Edvin learn to navigate fame, Edvin learned from Omar about running a business, now Edvin supports Omar in that business (that they CO-OWN). They are both incredible in their spheres and still growing! And they'll always be the guys that got famous together; that's an incredible bond. No one can know what that was like but them.
I love that being in YR helped Omar feel more comfortable expressing himself and his sexuality, especially after feeling internalised shame and struggling with it for ages. I'd be interested in seeing that more explored.
In general, I would prefer if Edvin didn't fall into a clueless straight boy trope.
Prompts:
- navigating long distance. They're both all over the map (literal) how do they connect with each other? Feel free to take this angsty or sweet
- 5 joint vacations edmar went on
- similar vein, 5 major accomplishments they supported each other in (edvin's first oscar, omar's first arena show, let's get omar that EGOT)
- songwriting session with Edvin hanging out and soaking it up
- BEACH TRIP. let's get omar in the OCEAN
- i always say that one day they'll be like ian mckellan and patrick stewart and still besties in their 70s so like gimme that old man hang, has omar learned how to take a shot yet

Warchild Series - Karin Lowachee
Characters: Jos Musey, Evan D'Silva
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

otp of my LIFE. They are homeship to each other. Evan tried to stay behind with Jos. Jos is ready at all times to defend Evan with his life. I have not and will never be normal about their level of devotion and codependency.
prompts:
- Any whump scenario where Evan is in danger and Jos saves him. Die Hard scenario where the negotiation meeting they're at gets taken hostage and Jos crawls through the vents to rescue him. Evan gets kidnapped for leverage against Jos and Jos is like I have a particular set of skills, I will find you and I will kill you. There's a jet hazing ritual of some kind and jos goes ballistic. I've always regretted so much that we never got the scene in warchild where Jos goes and finds the jets who beat up Evan and ruins their day i want it x1000. Bonus points if afterwards Evan washes the blood out of Jos' knuckles
- station shoreleave where they get a whole bunch of random street vendor food to try. just like uncomplicated joy and fun and both of them being able to be open with each other in a way they can't with others and sharing reference points
- you know that scene where even sleeps with a stressed out jos and then jos freaks out later? what if they get to the place where they both like the nighttime bunkmate sleeping together thing. maybe evan has nightmares
- listen. if you're up for some increased intimacy between them i am also. i think they could both do with some being treated with care and recontextualising their bodies. esp since the newer novellas have jos doing some kissing
when it comes to Ryan, I'm happy ignoring anything that isn't in the main trilogy, or having him on the side, or as a friend. If you can make some convoluted proxy fucking thing work too I'm fine with that as well, but I'd prefer a fic that focuses on Jos and Evan.
