yuletide 2023

Hi! I'm sulfate (also at pyrophane) and first of all, thank you so much for participating! I'm so excited to see what you create. I’ve written some prompts, but by no means do you have to include all or any of them—so long as you steer clear of my DNWs, if you have a particular idea you’re burning to write, go for it! Feel free to spin something entirely out of my likes list and disregard the prompts as well.

You can find me elsewhere on twitter ennezahard or highrankership, and on tumblr delineative. If you’re really stuck, my previous Yuletide letters can be found in this tag—if the prompts for any of those fandoms are striking a chord, I’d be happy to receive fic for them instead. The most important thing is that you have fun writing the rare fandoms we both adore!

Treats of any kind and length are welcome ❤️

General | 7 Seeds | Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy | Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash

General likes:

• apocalypse or post-apocalypse settings
• characters being stabbed or otherwise injured on the shoulder
• clashing worldviews
• dreams
• enemies to lovers where there's still some form of rivalry or resentment, friends to enemies (to lovers optional), rivals to enemies (to lovers optional)
• espionage AU, casefic, fakeout makeouts, undercover as a couple
• fate and/or doom—in the sense of some unavoidable tragedy looming on the horizon even if the characters don't know it yet, or starcrossed lovers, or characters railing against their fate but ultimately unable to avert it, or characters being soulmates except one (or both) is horrified by the idea of predestined love (particularly where they're enemies before they find out they're soulmates). On a happier note, I also like fate in the sense of serendipitous meetings and reunions, and ships that are Meant To Be, in whatever capacity
• leader x second-in-command dynamics
• lotus-eater machines
• magical realism, urban fantasy, any magic/superpowers/witchcraft AU in general
• mentorships
• physicality and nonverbal communication
• pining and repressed feelings, repressed characters finally admitting what they want
• pop idol AU, Bleak Boyband Bingo tropes
• power dynamics, power imbalances, difficult/ambiguous/dysfunctional relationships
• roadtrips
• rarepairs, minor characters, multishipping, friendships, ensemble casts, casual/background poly
• sparring
• time loops
• unusual/experimental prose style and structure
• worldbuilding, histories, strong sense of setting
• wound care

NSFW likes (see here for more details):

• breathplay/choking
• competition, violence or rivalry elements
• D/s undertones, undernegotiated or non-negotiated D/s
• edging
• focus on hands/wrists/throats/collarbones, pretty much just throats in general
• power dynamics and authority kink
• praise as a form of degradation
• sex pollen-style dubcon
• basically, if it involves the combination of violence and tenderness, I'm in!

General dislikes:

• anything involving pregnancy or raising kids
• daddy kink
• formal BDSM
• graphic descriptions of broken bones—unless there's a supernatural healing mechanic at play, in which case go wild. But either way, other injuries in the nature of bruises, cuts, dislocations, stabbings, etc are all fine!
• graphic descriptions of unsanitary situations, including infections
• graphic medical experimentation
• homophobia (internalised or societal)
• infidelity
• lengthy kink negotiations
• noncon
• public humiliation
• reincarnation AU, A/B/O, high school AU
