dear Yuletide writer '23

[elidelio]

Hi, thanks so much for making something, I'm sure I'll love whatever you come up with. I'm very easy to please and I don't really have many DNWs aside from those explicitly listed, so if it's not on the list assume I'm cool with it and feel free to get creative! I'm also down to receive fic of any rating from Gen to Explicit, shippy or non-shippy, so just go where the story takes you :)

Find me as timegoesby on AO3, I'm also open to treats (*￣3￣)╭

Smut-related DNWs:

Daddy/Mommy Kink | Infantilisation | Piss/Scat/Vomit | Pregnancy | Underage (under 16)

蟲師 | Mushishi (Anime & Manga)

Character: Ginko
Ginko is a must for a Mushishi fic, but I would also love if it included Adashino and/or Tanyuu! Anyone else from the tagset is fine as well, those are just my faves <3

I love the mushishi vibes and I just want more of Ginko and what he gets up to during his various travels, as well as the relationships he makes while out in the world and how these are affected by their transitory nature. Bonus points for mushi shenanigans since he and everyone he knows are all tied together by mushi and the effect those things have had on their lives. I'm a big fan of casefic/episode-style fic and character studies, but it can be just a slice of life or something less involved.

さんかく窓の外側は夜 | Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa wa Yoru | The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window (Manga)

Characters: Mikado Kosuke, Hiyakawa Rihito
Kosuke and Rihito are a must for me, since I really like the nature of their relationship and their contrasting views of the world, but I would also enjoy the inclusion any other character in the tagset. I love everyone in the gang!

I'm really mostly interested in post-canon interactions and how they deal with the aftermath of the show, though I'm also interested in missing scenes/canon divergence scenarios. I'm also open to relationship-focused fics or worldbuilding/plotty fics since I'm a big fan of the ghost cases and how the two work together to solve things!
Some ideas:
- Finally fitting in with one another
- Mentor & student relationships (conventional or unconventional, eg. the student becomes the master, etc.)
- Growing from trauma
- Creepy ghost shit
- Hanzawa being a father-figure to Hiyakawa
- Mikado learning to use and embrace his abilities
- All the guys being terrible (/jk) influences for Erika

鹿の王 | The Deer King (2021)

Characters (any, giver's choice): Van Gansa, Sae, Hohssalle Yuguraul

I really loved the world of this story and would love anything from any point. Some thoughts include:
- Pre-canon lives, especially Van's with the Lone Antlers
- Missing scenes, what where any of them thinking/doing while they weren't being shown in the main story?
- Post-canon, how are they getting by? How's Hohssalle's research? Has Sae adopted Yuna? What really happened to Van? Will any of them ever see each other again?
Any bits of worldbuilding you want to throw in there would be greatly appreciated, the movie left me with so many questions and so many possibilities for what magic (is it even magic?) is like in the world.
I also noticed that of the three fics that exist for this fandom two are focused on the Hohssalle/Van ship, which I do totally ship but don't feel pressured to make it a ship fic if gen is more your calling, or if you do want a ship fic just know I would be totally cool with any combination of the three characters mentioned above!

侠探简不知 | Ancient Detective (TV)

Characters: Jian Buzhi, Zhao Wohuan
Featuring any other character from the tagset as well as the two I tagged is fine!

I just want to put it out there that I picked those two not because I ship them (which I do but that's besides the point) but because I really like their crime-solving dynamics and I'm a big fan of casefic in general, so I would be totally stoked to get some sort of mystery-solving scenario, whether it's a ship thing or just a sweet bromance.
If casefic isn't your thing, I would also just love some character studies or glimpses of their relationship (again, romantic or not), I'm really just looking for more of these two interacting with each other and the world.
