wolfraven80Dear Yuletide author,
First of all thank you so much for signing up and writing something for me. I look forward to this exchange every year. I hope you have fun with your assignment. Please take the prompts and ideas below as nothing more than suggestions. If you have another plot bunny nipping at your ankles, go for it!
Also, I've listed the characters as pairs but if you don't ship them writing about them as friends is fine too.
Happy Yuletide!

My Time At Portia (Video Game)-- Ginger/Female Builder
I think it's really interesting that they chose to include a character with a serious medical condition as a possible love interest in this game. I like that Ginger is very sweet and loves reading and that she often asks to just spend more time with builder, just talking. For ideas, maybe the builder taking Ginger out to one of the festivals or telling her about her adventures, or trying to find the perfect book to giver her, or about how she's looking for relics and discs in the ruins hoping to uncover something that would help treat Ginger. Whatever you choose to write I'd ask that Ginger be alive—no tear-jerker stories about her inevitable or untimely demise please. Also I stuck with the default name of Linda for the builder, btw.
Teixcalaan Series – Mahit/Three Seagrass
Really I'd love to see anything about these two--there's so little fic for them. I love how smart and witty they both are and how important language and poetry are in these books. I also found the lack of resolution at the end of the second book really bothersome so if you're up for something post-canon I'd love to see that. But really anything dealing with either of the books would be great. How does their correspondence get on after book two? Does Three Seagrass ever get to read the rest of that Stationer comic? Does Mahit every go back to The City? How do they learn to navigate the cultural differences that cause them so much difficulty in book two?
Sunless Skies -- The Felined Eccentric
The Felined Eccentric was one of my favourite crew stories in the game. I love the "Encounter with the Eccentric" scene, how they work quietly and companionably together. And I also find the scene with Paimon really funny, how he separates them when she sits next to the captain. I'd love to see anything about her travels on the locomotive--a day-in-life, a strange adventure, a problem with cats--anything really. And I'd love to know more about her feelings about what's she's become, about the remnants of her past following her in feline form, or about how she feels about the captain and crew since it sounds like it's her first time having companions.
I'm fine with the level of weirdness and vaguely violent events in the game but I'd like to avoid anything super dark or gory. Also, if you end up including the sky captain I'd really appreciate a female captain. And of course, feel free to add in any other characters you'd like.
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time -- Nel/Clair
I played this game years and years ago and the whole way through I just thought Nel and Clair were way to close to be just friends. Also the NPCs were always talking about them together "Lady Nel and Lady Clair" as if they were an established pair. I always wondered if the fact of Clair technically being Nel's commander caused them problems, if they had to try to hide their relationship or if there was some sort of exception made for them. A post-canon glimpse of them would be fun, or a story about how they deal with the anxiety and separation if Nel travels with Fayt. And the addition of Adray and his misguided attempts to marry off Clair are always fun too.
Masters of the Universe: Revelation (Netflix 2021) -- Teela/Andra
I really enjoyed this series. Having Teela take centre-stage was just amazing. In a lot of the show I watched growing up girls didn't get to do anything interesting. They mostly got kidnapped and rescued. And they were certainly never the hero. So it's amazing to see a show from back in the day get revamped like this and they did such a fantastic job with it. And I love how they team her up with Andra who's super competent and a brilliant engineer. I'd love to learn more about what they did before the show—how they met, or some of the jobs they've done together, or just to see them spend some quiet time together. Appearance by the rest of the case are welcome too if you want to try something set during the show or after.
