Dear Yuletide Writer

rodofirst off, I hope you're going to have fun writing for me and that this letter helps. I'd also like to say that I'd like fic for all the characters/fandoms I'm requesting here, whether it follows my prompts or not. If you have an idea that you absolutely want to write about these characters and it doesn't go against my DNWs, feel free to write it. The “optional pairings” I mention in the fandom sections are all pairings I'd be interested in reading about, but you're not obliged to include any of them.

General Do Not Wants: detailed depictions of depression and alcoholism, a story being in both first person and present tense (exception: Renegade X fanfic), unrequested non-canon pairings, setting AUs (like coffeeshop!AUs or space!AUs)
General Likes: stories with a similar tone and theme as canon, casefic, plotty fics in general, complicated interpersonal relationships, post-canon fic, canon-divergence AUs
Now for the canons:
아스달 연대기 | Arthdal Chronicles (TV) – Eunseom, Nunbyeol, Tanya, Saya:
First off: You do not need to write about all of these characters. I'm fine with fic about any of them individually. As for what I want the most: post-canon fic that wraps up just about any of the myriad of plot strings we're left with, or at least develops them further. I want to see Eunseom and his rebellion. I want him and Saya to finally meet. I want Tanya to work on her power base in Tagon's shadow. I want Nunbyeol to meet up with the Neantals or Eunseom to work on her revenge, and I'd like to see more of what awaits her and her sister in the future.
I'm also interested in the relationship between Tanya and Saya and how they work together and against each other. And I'd love to see how Saya reacts to Tagon and Taealha having a child together that will replace him, slowly turning him against his father and Arthdal in general. Another one of my favourite characters is Mubaek, and I'd like to see him interact with any of the nominated characters.
I know I'd be asking too much of you if I asked you to include all of this, but a resolution/continuation of any of the plot strings left dangling would mean a lot to me.
Optional pairings: Eunseom/Tanya, Nunbyeol/Saya, Chaeeun/Saya, Chaeeun/Rottip, Chaeeun/Yiseorub
군함도 | The Battleship Island (2017) – Any:
I pretty much want all the post-canon fic and fix-its. I just loved the characters and they dynamics we see in the movie, especially between Mu-young and So-hee and Chil-sung and Mal-nyeon. I'd love to read about any of them taking care of So-hee in some way, either on the island or after. I'd love to see Mu-young taking care of So-hee and how he adjusts to that change in his life. I'd love a character death fix-it for Chil-sung and Mal-nyeon. We don't really see Mu-young interact with either Chil-sung or Mal-nyeon, but I'd love to see that too. I think he and Chil-sung would clash a lot but develop an antagonistic friendship in the end.
Anyway, I'd love fic that explores how they'd all adjust to being back in Korea after everything.
Optional pairings: Chil-sung/Mal-nyeon
Carnival Row (TV) – Rycroft Philostrate, Vignette Stonemoss, Absalom Breakspeak, Jonah Breakspear:
Canon-specific DNWs: Philo/Vignette breaking up post-season 1, Philo having wings
This is currently my main fandom, and I've read all the fics for this that aren't in Russian, at the time of writing this letter. I will read pretty much anything.
First off: You don't have to write all of these characters, I'm fine with a story about any one of them.
Some of the things I'd like to read about: An AU where Absalom doesn't get killed by Piety and shit still happens. Jonah and Philo meeting and discovering what it means to be brothers, or not. Exploring Vignette's past, for example her time working as a sparrowhawk. Philo and Vignette building a life together in the ghetto. Philo adjusting to living as a critch. Jonah trying to find his place in the world and having an antagonistic/romantic/fucked-up thing going on with Sophie. A story about how Absalom became the man we meet in the series after losing Aisling. Philo working on a case pre-canon. Philo and Vignette working on a case post-season 1. Absalom and Philo developing a relationship, political manoeuvring … as I said, there isn't much I won't read for these characters and so little has been written.
I also wouldn't mind the inclusion of any of the other characters.
Optional pairings: Philo/Vignette, Philo/Portia (pre- or during season 1), Vignette/Tourmaline (pre-season 1), Jonah/Sophie, Absalom/Piety, Absalom/Aisling
La casa de papel | Money Heist (TV) – Helsinki, Nairobi, the Professor, Raquel Murillo:
Canon-specific DNW: Helsinki being heterosexual. If you write Helsinki/Nairobi, I'd prefer it if she was the only woman he has an interest in while otherwise still being very much into men.
You can write a story about either Helsinki and Nairobi or the Professor and Raquel, if you don't want to go all out and include all four. I ship both configurations, but with Helsinki and Nairobi I'm also totally fine with them being platonic life partners. I want to read about all of their adventures in the time between season 2 and season 3: was there ever a time when they were almost caught or got into some sort of trouble? I'd also love to know what happens post-season 3, providing Nairobi survives.
Optional pairings: Helsinki/Nairobi, the Professor/Raquel
Designated Survivor: 60 Days – Any
For this canon, I'd most like teamfic or anything post-canon really. I'd love to see how Young-jin and Soo-jung's date went, eventually. I'd love to see all of them trying to make their way in the world after leaving the Blue House. I'd love to see them becoming closer friends after all they've been through, and I'd love to see them campaign for some political cause (if they can convince Mu-jin to run, maybe that). I'd love to get some backstory on Nam-wook too, and I really enjoyed his friendship with both Young-jin and Soo-jung in canon, so I'd love more of their dynamic.
Optional pairings: Young-jin/Soo-jung, Mu-jin/Kang-yeon, Young-jin/Soo-jung/Nam-wook, Mu-jin/Kang-yeon/Nam-wook
The Renegade X Series – Damien Locke, Gordon Tines:
I really crave more about the family life of Damien Locke, particularly his relationship with his father and the adults in his life. I would life to read about how he deals with his crazy mother and her son and husband and his father's family some more. I would also like to get a look at Damien from Gordon's point of view. Maybe a fic about him attending some family gathering or someone throws a party for him when he passes summer school after book 4. What I love most about the books – besides Damien, of course – is the way the characters define themselves by being heroes or villains and the way especially the adults don't deal well with the other.
Optional pairings: Damien/Kat, Gordon/Helen
