Dear Yuletide Writer

[rosanicus]

Hello!

This year I am prompting for Biggles, The Goblin Emperor Series and Worrals.

General ❤️: Presumed Dead, Hurt/Comfort, Identity Porn, Established Relationship, Time Travel/Time Loops, Outsider POV, Curtain Fic, Casefic, Whump

General DNWS: Major Character Death, Terminal Illness, Infidelity, Rape/Non-Con between protagonists, Hate Crime/Violent Homophobia, MPreg, Omegaverse

Biggles (James "Biggles" Bigglesworth, Erich von Stalhein, Algy Lacey, Ginger Hebblethwaite)

• Series specific ❤️: Canon-typical hurt/comfort (e.g. firing squads, imprisoned in a castle, dramatic last stands, scorpion/tarantula related injury etc.), Best Enemies, Enemies to Friends, Fantasy Elements, Canon-typical crossdressing, Snark, Cultural exchange
• Series specific DNWs: fic based on Takes A Holiday/Flies North/No Rest, fic set during WW2, canon-typical racism/endorsement of colonialism (very down for deconstruction!)
• In general, I would love any fic which features something from either Likes section in this post! I struggle with coming up with specific prompts because they tend to end up growing legs and walking into my own Google Drive, so feel free to go wild :)
• Speaking of queer gen: I would love to see fic of any permutation of characters interacting with gay nightlife in London during canon. I think Ginger in particular would like drag. Additionally, I would adore AU fic where one or multiple of the main characters are trans and/or GNC.
• The character limit for signups was torturous for me so please feel free to include any other series regulars in your fic!
• A fic set in the Interwar period (even though the dating makes my head hurt a bit...), in that nebulous period where Ginger is in training and Biggles and Algy are essentially co-parenting him. I think that there is a lot of potential for fun hijinks and the struggles of looking after a teenager who is already shockingly self-sufficient.
• This fandom will never have too many post-Hatchet recovery fics. I love stories which explore how everyone learns to live in the same city as each other - whether that's Algy learning to tolerate von Stalhein for Biggles' sake (and eventually liking him, however annoyed it makes him), or Bertie sweeping EvS off to ride horses and generally return him to a golden moment of pre-WW1 simplicity, or Biggles just looking after him in his own inimitable way, I love all of it. And many variations besides!
• Something set between Flies East and & Co which deals with an alternate reunion for &Co and EvS. I've written my own version but it's a concept which begs for exploration IMO.
• Pairings: Generally speaking I prefer Biggles/EvS and Algy/Ginger, but I would be happy with any combination of these guys! I think the dynamics are all interesting as fuck to be honest.

The Goblin Emperor Series (Thara Celehar, Iana Pel-Thenhior, Maia Drazhar)

• Series specific ❤️: Worldbuilding about Amalo, Linguistics, Cultural Exchange between Goblins and Elves
• Series specific DNWs: Excessive canon-typical homophobia (I don't mind reference to canon-typical attitudes towards marnei but please don't make it a central part of the fic/expressed violently)
• I love Thara Celehar’s web of relationships very much but particularly (of course) I love Anora’s concerned yet slightly bitchy best friendship and Iana’s head-over-heels but still sensible about it love.
• I also adore Thara and his colony of Definitely Not His Cats - so any fic about him looking after them, or Iana meeting the cats, or just general fluff about him spending time with them would be Fine By Me
• While we wait for the conclusion of the trilogy I continue to yearn for more Thara & Maia interaction. Now that Thara is more settled in Amalo (even with the events of The Grief of Stones) I would love to see he and Maia catching up in some way, whether through letters or in person during an Imperial visit to Amalo
• How would Iana and Thara navigate actually being in a relationship? I'm talking small things here - who sleeps on which side of the bed, who irritates the other by leaving empty teacups on the table without a coaster - tiny domestic issues or indeed domestic joys.
• Otherwise, anything featuring a general ❤️  would be great
• Pairing: If you write something ship based then Thara/Iana is preferred

Worrals (Joan "Worrals" Worralson, Betty "Frecks" Lovell)

• Series specific ❤️: Worrals/Frecks(/Bill, Worrals does have two hands), Grand Theft Auto (or Aero, or bike...o...), Presumed Dead, Competence in all its forms
• Series specific DNWs: I've only read the WW2 based books so please avoid any major spoilers for after that period.
• My main desire in Worrals fic is for something along the lines of Worrals Learns To Fly - there's tiny hints of that backstory in WAAF and I yearn for more so desperately. Worrals sneaking out of school to go to flying lessons! Worrals and Frecks' first meeting - I would be interested in anything here, did they instantly fall into friendship or did it take longer for easygoing Frecks to get along with practical Worrals? Did they meet at school or on their first day at the aerodrome? I would love anything set pre-canon here.
• Personally I think Frecks gets a raw deal in the books I've read thus far because she is always the one presuming that Worrals is dead. It's clearly Worrals' turn to have a minor breakdown over her best friend (/girlfriend) being dead and then being comforted when Frecks shows up alive and well.
• Fic which explores the only-one-bed situation described in Worrals Flies Again. It just begs for more I think, whether it's arguing about who hogs the covers or thank-god-you're-still-alive cuddling turning to something more...
• If you go for casefic, I'd be intrigued by something where Worrals and Frecks are sent to investigate something mysterious happening in a predominately female environment - maybe there's a murder at a house where land girls are billeted, or even an illicit airfield setup in the grounds of a convent. I just long for them getting to hang out with other women for a bit.
