jennariaDear Yuletide writer,
Hi! And Thank you! Which is a predictable opening, but still true.
Overall:
I am a hardcore romantic. You might have guessed that, given that pretty much all of my requests are fluff. I have nothing against angst! I just prefer a happy ending - or at least the happiest ending possible, whatever that winds up meaning. (Love does not solve all problems, sadly.) My most infallible plot-kink is trust, and my biggest plot-squick is partner betrayal.
Now, getting down to the nitty-gritty of the fandoms I requested, including links to canons where available:
Inu Boku Shīkuretto Sābisu | The Dog and I Secret Service - Shirakiin Ririchiyo, Miketsukami Sōshi - The anime gives us happily ever after - but what would happily ever after really look like with these two? What plans (if any) does Ririchiyo have for life after high school, and how does Soshi fit into them? Smut a plus, other side characters also a plus.
Source material: Available for free at Crunchyroll, only 13 episodes.
I saw this series last year, and oh dear heaven. So fucked up! But so adorable! But so fucked up! Seriously, both of them have Problems. But they're also both well aware of those problems, and call each other on them as necessary, so I'm willing to believe that happily ever after is possible. There's just some assembly required. And hopefully a minimum amount of interference from outside, which is probably a lost cause given where they live and who their friends are.
Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl - Kurusu Tomari, Osaragi Hazumu, Kamiizumi Yasuna - A happy AU wherein they really do go for the threesome option? A happy post-canon piece where Yasuna sorts out how to deal with the girl she loves finding happily ever after with someone else (and Tomari and Hazumu sort out how to work 'happily ever after')? So long as it's happy, I'm good. Smut a plus but not required, inclusion of the other kid characters also a plus but not required.
Source material: Manga (up to chapter 29) is available on Mangareader: complete anime (subbed, 11 episodes) is available on Veoh.
The thing that amazes me about this canon is that the plot is, uh, deeply silly, and shows its seams very blatantly - more than once, it seemed like I could see the mangaka all like, 'um, dammit, what should I do now?' But the characters, especially (but not exclusively) the main three, are so well-drawn and so real in how they react to the dippy situations they find themselves in. ...okay, and there really was a point about half-way through where I was like, 'wait, no, seriously? They're going to go there?' I read the manga before watching the anime, and tend to prefer it: the anime handles Yasuna very differently, to say nothing of the ending. But you should go with what appeals to you.
Sword Art Online - Asuna! How did she meet Lisbeth, and become friends with her? Was Kirito amazing in bed that first time, or was it a comedy of errors that at least wound up with orgasms all 'round? Had she ever watched her brother play MMOs? I love Kirito and the other characters, but I heart Asuna the most.
Source material: Available for free on Crunchyroll, 26 episodes.
Seriously how the hell was Asuna not a listed character to request. WTF.
Anyway! The thing I love about this series, in addition to Kirito being a total badass, is the development of both him and Asuna as people, and the natural development of their relationship as something that feels like a real thing, not just AND NOW A HOT GIRL FALLS FOR KIRITO. I loved Asuna in particular because she got to be both a girly-girl and kick ass - and Kirito acknowledged and respected that. The second half of the series frustrated me, mostly because it turned Asuna into a damsel in distress. So whether you want to delve into Asuna's background, give me a missing scene, or AU the series so Asuna gets to continue kicking ass alongside her husband, I would be overjoyed.
Kamen Rider Kabuto - Kagami Arata, Tendou Souji - Slash these two. During canon, post canon. Is Tendou capable of saying anything directly to Kagami? ...without having hinted at it, or ducked around it, or assumed-that-Kagami-would-figure-it-out? (Probably not. But we can hope!)
Source material: available subbed on Dramacrazy.
I think I first encountered Kamen Rider Kabuto via fanfic. But one of those writers linked to the series, and somebody else linked tobeckerbell's running commentary on the series, and then I rashly offered to write it for Yuletide three years ago so I wound up marathoning it and enjoying it hugely. Unfortunately, it is a tiny little fandom, and I want more. So. Um.
Whatever you write, thank you again, and I look forward to reading it!
