Yuletide 2023 Exchange Letter

[silverinerivers]

Hi!

Thank you in advance for creating something for me! The thing I love the most about fandom is seeing everyone's different takes on the same canon/premise/characters/ship, etc, you get me, and I'm so excited to see yours! I have some feelings/prompts under each fandom I'm requesting, but no need to go with any of them if it doesn't float your boat. I'm usually not very picky save for my DNWs :) Please feel free to browse any of the below links if they inspire you!

My masterlist of likes (since they got a bit too long for the AO3 sign-up box oops)
My exchange letters | Sorted by fandom tag
My AO3

DNWs:

• Graphic violence/gore/vore
• Crack
• A focus on pregnancy/children/original characters (minor mentions are fine, e.g. canonical children/original villain)
• A focus on any unrequested gender identity headcanons
• Permanent character death of a requested/major character (canonical death and/or temporary death are ok!)
• Genderbending/Rule 63
• First or second person POV narration (in letters/epistolary are ok!)

Notes:

• Things I am okay with that might normally be DNWs: explicit underage sex (age 12+), dub-con/non-con, AUs, unhappy/open endings, longfics
• Treats are very much adored and I'm also happy to receive treats for any of my fandoms at any time into the future. I don't think I ever truly get over things I was into - 'tis the joy of fandom, right?

Birdie Wing

• Amawashi Aoi

Fandom specific notes: I've watched both seasons of the anime! This show grew on me with how ridiculously fun and outrageous the concept is. Feel free to focus more on the 'mafia golf betting' side or the 'cute high school girls golfing' part of this sports anime, or when they collide! I like how the show doesn't take itself too seriously, so lean into that! And oh my god the whole golf dynasty sisters disease drama is just the kind of Birdie Wing energy I love. As for Aoi, I love her and Eve together, platonically or romantically, and would love to read your take on them! Feel free to explore her family dynamics instead, which has sooo much potential.

Some prompts:

• Aoi and Eve golf against each other: Aoi doesn't do bets but Eve bets with herself on the outcome anyway - hilarity/fluff ensues
• That brief moment of time when it seemed like Aoi & Eve were sisters (or an AU where they are?!) - run with it!
• First times/getting together and everything it entails for Aoi & Eve: awkward confession, Eve being forward and sexy, different cultural customs, their caddies stalking them on their first date, etc, up to you!
• An AU where they play another sport of your choosing!
• Aoi gets used to her new family

Oshi no Ko

• Arima Kana

Fandom-specific notes: I've finished the anime and am up to date in the manga (and will remain up to date, currently ch128)! I really love Kana in this most of all, but am happy to read anything with her and Aqua, her rivalry with Akane, the new B Komachi gang together, or anything in between! There's so much to work with in terms of the drama of being in entertainment from a young age to now, the shadowy dealings and the white lies and the dark side of being an idol. I love Kana's personality and her growing into herself, from all her insecurities to her competence and growth and her feelings for Aqua. Happy to see whatever direction you choose to go with this!

Some prompts:

• Being famous means having to lie, a lot.
• The dark side of the industry and how far people will go.
• Kana finds out about Aqua and helps him get his revenge - and then what?
• Even a fake date is still a nice date, Kana repeats to herself.
• Reunion interview, years later. Where are they now

Saki

• Takei Hisa

Fandom-specific notes: I have watched two seasons of the anime, none of the side stories but I don't mind spoilers! Absolutely had fun with this anime and all the crazy mahjong powers but also cute girls doing cute things together! My weakness is Hisa being an excellent but also a little wild captain and her play style! I also love her relationship with Mihoko and definitely ship them together - in the past and present/future! Her obliviousness to how much Mihoko adores her is just so *squee*. I also play riichi mahjong if you want to integrate actual gameplay into the fic, I'll understand :D As an aside that doesn't tie into my request at al but I just have to say - I LOVE Etopen (penguins are my ultimate love)

Some prompts:

• Hisa & Mihoko's backstory more fleshed out or divergence where they get to know each other better
• Every eccentric fun quirky thing Hisa has ever done as school mahjong captain and/or student council president - and perhaps her legacy!
• Training camp shenanigans
• Post high-school - does she still play mahjong? What does she do with her life? Who does she still keep in touch with? Reunion tournament?

Chihayafuru

• Mashima Taichi

Fandom-specific notes: I am caught up with the anime and finished the manga (*cries in there's no more???*) Taichi remains one of my favorite characters ever and just his character arc is just so human and wonderfully developed. If you choose to go shippy, I prefer him in an OT3 situation with Chihaya and Arata, but gen or anyone else you choose would be equally loved!

Some prompts:

• Taichi grows up but never apart from those he cares for. Karuta was never supposed to be forever, but it's close enough. Any sort of character study really, would have my whole heart.
• Taichi hasn't failed much in his life. He got better at karuta through sheer will and practice. He will get better at this dating thing too, probably.
• Taichi isn't meijin or queen, but the three of them are still a package deal. Taichihayarata. Everyone knows it. Everyone also knew the three of them were already dating, except Taichi.
• He has terrible luck, except the one time it truly matters.

• Lu Guang (Link Click)

Fandom-specific details: I have watched s1 and s2 and am having the same mental breakdown the entire fandom is, probably. Gah. What do I even say? Obsessed with Lu Guang's mysteriousness and what was revealed at the end of s2. Also obsessed with his relationship with Cheng Xiaoshi and/or Qiao Ling and how they got to where they are and where they go from here on out. Any amount of time travel fun times or not-so-fun times or backstory in general or s3 guesses will have my whole heart! Run with it :) I do ship Cheng Xiaoshi & Lu Guang but you don't have to go that route if you don't want to!

Some prompts:

• S2 Lu Guang reveal - give me all your hypotheses, backstories, future time travel successes/failures, does he get found out? how does that all roll out?
• Any quiet sweet moments between him and Cheng Xiaoshi and/or Qiao Ling, before all the crazy murder/ability stuff went down and/or maybe after as they recover from it all
• Any kind of first times (or last times....) for Lu Guang
• How did he get his powers and his rules etc? Again, dying for Lu Guang backstory or any kind of adjacent worldbuilding as you can tell!

Thanks!
Lulu
