Dear Yuletide Writer,
First 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/pairings/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. And if you think you have a better idea than me (which is quite likely) the same applies.
I am also open to art treats, in case you’re wondering. Some general art likes, if you’re interested in creating for me: art nouveau ⁕ art déco ⁕ more realistic styles in general ⁕ details, especially when it comes to clothes/costumes. I’ve no particular preferences when it comes to colour schemes.

Now for the canons:
Le Bazar de la Charité | The Bonfire of Destiny (TV) - Adrienne de Lenverpré, Alice de Jeansin, Rose Rivière, Victor Minville
Some suggestions on what you could write about (feel free to mix and match as you want):
Adrienne: I’d really like to read something about the aftermath of her husband turning out to be a traitor. Maybe he sends threatening letters and she has to work with Hennion again? I’d also like an AU where Hugues survives and all three of them leave for England for a while. Or to see her interact with her sister and Alice, since we see so little of that in canon.
Alice: Maybe something about the awkwardness of adjusting to life post-canon, with the family threatened by ruin, her father maybe being in trouble because he took so long to step up and also her love interest being an anarchist. I’d love something that goes into a bit of depth about the problems she and Victor will face and how they might over come them.
Rose: the development of her friendship with Alice now that they’re sort of equals, how people react to her taking up with her “servant”, the relationship with Madame Huchon as she’s dying, having a family, adjusting some more to living as a lady.
Victor: Maybe something about his relationship with Alice and how it might conflict with his anarchist beliefs, especially when it comes to Alice’s family and how he fits and doesn’t fit into their lives. I’d also love something that explores his relationship with Hennion, because I found what little we saw of that in canon fascinating.
Optional pairings: Adrienne/Hennion, Adrienne/Hugues, Alice/Victor, Rose/Jean
The Fall of the Gas-Lit Empire – Rod Duncan – Elizabeth Barnabus, Julia Swain
First of all: I nominated the first trilogy on purpose. I read the second one and liked it just fine, so feel free to set something during or after it if you prefer it, but it’s far from necessary. I’m more attached to the English setting and supporting cast we see there, and am perfectly happy to disregard the second trilogy if you haven't read it.
Also: I ship it, so if you want to write femslash about these two, go for it! If you do, I would prefer you just ignore that their canon love interests are their canon love interests – they’re free to show up in fic, though, and I don’t mind the romance being mentioned in gen fic.
But what I really want, obviously, is fic about these two. I really, really loved their friendship and want to see more of it – maybe from Julia’s point of view, for once. I would love to see them work together on a case. I would love to see Julia (and maybe her family) support Elizabeth while she’s on the run. I would love for them to have an argument over something and make up in the end.
Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013) – Leela Sanera, Ram Rajadi
Okay, so:
1. They really needed to bang. I want to see them bang. I don’t know when or where or how – whether you just make his friends arrive later, or have them get to it in a missing scene before the suicide, or go with an elaborate AU, I don’t care.
2. Any AU that allows them to have a happy ending – maybe they ran away together, or maybe Leela’s sister-in-law arrives to prevent their suicide, maybe she gets to Ram when Leela asks her to – you don’t need to write a complete happy ending, just end in a hopeful enough place that I (and they) can believe that there’ll be one.
내 뒤에 테리우스 | My Secret Terrius – Go Ae-rin, Kim Bon
For this fandom, I’d really love some humour, and also for Ae-rin to continue to be awesome. I’d love for other characters (and JunJun!) to make an appearance as well. Some ideas on what to write:
I ship them (of course!), and I’d also love it if you wrote something that’s a little more shippy than canon.
Raumpatrouille Orion – Lydia van Dyke, Cliff Allister McLane, Tamara Jagellovsk, Worldbuilding (Raumpatrouille Orion)
First of all, you can write about any of these three characters (or worldbuilding featuring none of them or other canon characters). I’m interested in all four options equally. If you’re a native speaker of German, I’d also be really happy to get a story written in German.
What I want most for this canon is more in the vein of canon, since we got so little to begin with. So, I want to see the crew have adventures (or Lydia having adventures on her own, or pre-canon with Cliff), especially including the characters I nominated. I’d also be super happy about anything that explores the worldbuilding a bit more, whether that’s the Frogs, the numerous colonies that are hinted at, or Chroma – no need to be more modern or politically correct that canon is in that regard. The rest of the crew is welcome as well, of course.
As for ships, I’m mostly into Cliff’s thing for women who boss him around.
Optional pairings: Cliff/Tamara, Cliff/Lydia, Cliff/Regent of Chroma

My AO3 Name:
General Do Not Wants:
- detailed depictions of depression and alcoholism
- a story being in both first person and present tense
- unrequested non-canonical pairings for canon characters
- setting AUs (like coffeeshop!AUs or space!AUs)
- Korean speech patterns in English stories. By that I mean use of honorifics (-sshi, -nim), stuff like eomma and hyung, job titles, the use of names when a pronoun would usually be used in English, vocative markers (-(y)ah) or subject markers (-i(e) being the one I usually come across in fic). I am fine with Korean name order, since that is also used in English.
- character/relationship studies
General Likes:
- stories with a similar tone and theme as canon
- casefic
- plotty fics in general
- complicated interpersonal relationships
- nuanced friendships and family relationships
- post-canon fic
- canon-divergence AUs
- pining and slow burn
- deep passion or devotion (to a person or a cause)
- action/adventure, heists and cons
Now for the canons:
- Le Bazar de la Charité | The Bonfire of Destiny (TV)
- The Fall of the Gas-Lit Empire – Rod Duncan
- Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013)
- 내 뒤에 테리우스 | My Secret Terrius
- Raumpatrouille Orion

For this fandom, I’d really love some humour, and also for Ae-rin to continue to be awesome. I’d love for other characters (and JunJun!) to make an appearance as well. Some ideas on what to write:
- wacky spy shenanigans post-canon in New York
- pretending to be a married couple for work while also finally starting to date and failing to keep work and non-work separate
- outsider point of view on their spy shenanigans from the other people in the apartment building
I ship them (of course!), and I’d also love it if you wrote something that’s a little more shippy than canon.
