Dear Yuletide Writer
2022-10-13 11:04 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
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/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. ⁕ landscapes/cityscapes ⁕ concept art. I’ve no particular preferences when it comes to colour schemes.

General Likes:
Le Bazar de la Charité | The Bonfire of Destiny (TV) - Adrienne de Lenverpré, Alice de Jeansin, Rose Rivière, Victor Minville
Some suggestions for what you could write for each of the characters, but feel free to mix and match if 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
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/any other canon or original 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 robots, the numerous colonies that are hinted at, or Chroma – no need to be more modern or politically correct than 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
설강화 | Snowdrop (TV) – Im Soo Ho, Kang Cheong Ya, Lee Kang Moo, Pi Seung Hee
Something I’d like for this fandom in general, combined with all prompts: character death fix-its for more or less anyone: Soo-ho, of course, but also Gyeok-chan, Eun-cheol, Yeong-u or even Man-dong, if you think it would make for a better story! And of course all the Canon Divergence AUs that lead to/result from it, featuring any of the characters I requested! Or just Canon Divergence in general, even if it’s just a relatively short glimpse into a what if universe.
Im Soo Ho: For Soo-ho, I’d like some shippy fic featuring him and Yeong-ro, for example an AU where he survives, or something featuring him and his fellow spies. Does he end up in prison? With a new identity? What does he do once he’s no longer a spy for his father and gets to choose his own life? And, of course, something about his friendship with Gang-mu, in any context. An AU branching out from the post-credit scene where Gang-mu is blindfolded, or just them dealing with their friendship in a post-canon AU setting where Soo-ho lives.
Kang Cheong Ya: I’m not too hot on the love angle for her in canon, but I absolutely adored her being a badass spy! So, anything that focusses on that: some pre-canon spy shenanigans • seducing her marks • her having settled down with a family post-canon and her past getting in the way • saving her comrades’ families • an AU where she manages to keep Man-dong from killing the others or one where she saves Soo-ho one last time (main character death of Cheong-ya optional, so long as it’s all about her/from her POV) • I really loved her relationship with Han-na, so a mission where they’re pitted against each other or have to work together, or just some bonding for them, would be much appreciated
Lee Kang Moo: For Gang-mu, I’d love something about his relationship with either Soo-ho or Han-na. I loved both their relationships in canon, and would love to see more, like how Gang-mu and Han-na make things work post canon, or a look at how their relationship fell apart pre-canon. As for Gang-mu and Soo-ho: an AU where Soo-ho survives and they work together on some mission post-canon or both retire and have trouble coping with civillian life. Or an AU branching out from that one post-credit scene set in Poland where Gang-mu’s eyes are bandaged.
Pi Seung Hee: She was one of my favourites in the show, and what I loved about her the most was her protecting the girls in her charge. How often has she run interference with the ANSP? How often has she covered something up before? How often has she turned a blind eye? How often has she done something subtle to prevent other girls from falling into the hands of the ANSP? And how often has she failed? Feel free to let yourself be inspired by The Lives of Others – or straight up go meta and have her watch the movie and be interviewed about her own, similar experiences eventually. I’m also especially interested in her relationship with Bun-ok, how it started, changed over the course of the series and of course how it develops post-canon or could have developed in an AU
Optional pairings: Soo-ho/Yeong-ro, Gang-mu/Han-na, Bun-ok/Gyeok-chan Cheong-ya/OCs

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
- non-Canon Divergence AUs (coffeeshop, space, A/B/O, etc.)
- 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
- humour
- worldbuilding
