Yuletide letter
Dear Yuletide creator,
Thank you for signing up and for coming to read this letter. I am already looking forward to the reveals!
My requests are:
Dragon Quest Heroes: Aurora, Luceus, Alena, Kiryl
Dragon’s Dogma: Female Arisen, Quina, Main Pawn
Pillars of Eternity: Female Watcher, Aloth, Eder, Vetnir
The Arcana: The Apprentice, Asra, Julian, Nadia
Kingdoms of Amalur: Fateless One, Agarth, Gwyn Anwy
Mostly I hope that you make something that you enjoy, however I do have a few preferences if that is okay.
Ratings: Anything from G – E is fine, however, please no non/dubcon, extreme/unusual kinks, or graphic violence. Basically, nothing that needs a trigger warning, thanks.
Genre: Anything goes, however if there is any angst I would prefer it to end at least bittersweetly. I am equally happy with shippy fics and friendship fics. I would also prefer canon settings, but if you do go down the au route please no high school/coffee shop/medical settings.
Tropes I do enjoy in no particular order: Courting, getting over first impressions/cultural differences, mutual pining where everyone around them is facepalming at their ridiculousness, emphasis on size difference, letter-writing, soulmates, good old hurt/comfort fics, first time fics, fake relationship/fake marriage that becomes real, sleepy affection, outsider perspectives on the relationship, affectionate bickering, friends supporting each other, private jokes and domestic scenes.
More specific info: For Dragon Quest Heroes I absolutely adore the dynamic between Aurora and Luceus, whether that is friendship, them pining for each other, or if they actually start a relationship. I also think that the friendship between Aurora and Alena is adorable, as is Kiryl and Luceus bonding over having a crush on a strong willed lady warrior. Luceus making some sort of strategy would be appreciated. If the rescue scene comes up, I would prefer if Aurora was doing the rescuing.
My dragon quest heroes tag is here.
For Dragon’s Dogma, Pillars of Eternity, The Arcana and Kingdoms of Amalur I am completely 100% happy with a default or blank slate character (as long as that character is snarky) but if you would like some information about my own characters I have included them below.
My Arisen in Dragon’s Dogma is called Alina. She’s a couple of years younger than Quina and has been in love with her for as long as she can remember. She got the scar on her eyebrow from defending Quina from bullies when they were kids. She’s got a bit of a temper – despite being tiny she won’t hesitate to get into a fight if she feels the need – but is generally kindhearted. She became a magic archer in game. Her main Pawn is called Wren, who is a warrior. Any interactions between the three of them would be perfect!
My Watcher in Pillars of Eternity is called Nelda, a dwarf moon godlike from Rauatai. She is a Kind Wayfarer Paladin who multi-classed to Ranger in Deadfire. A former slave on a pirate ship, she is dedicated to helping and protecting people in need. She generally switches between a poleaxe and a war bow when in combat. Her highest personality traits are benevolence, diplomatic and rational, with a few ranks in clever. Her ranger antelope is called Fern. She hates being at sea with a passion. She canonically romanced Aloth. Her closest friends are Vetnir and Eder. Again, any interactions between them would be welcome, whether the romance is mentioned or not. I have a special soft spot for Vetnir finding his place on her crew.
My apprentice from The Arcana is called Seren – she generally chooses the shy/uncertain responses but is happy to tease and joke a bit. I have done all three routes and would be happy with her in a romance with any, or a happy friendship fic with all four. If a shippy fic then any of them pining for each other would be amazing.
My Fateless One from Kingdoms of Amalur is called Briar, a ljosalfar jack-of-all-trades. She is quite a melancholic character with a grim sense of humour who is troubled by all the hints about the kind of person she was before she died (cruel), and constantly strives to do better. I ship her with Gwyn and/or Agarth, but any way to have the three of them interacting would be great, romance or not (please don’t worry about the ot3 if you are not comfortable with it!). I like to imagine the two of them supporting Briar when she gets down.
My oc tag is here.
These are just a few details or ideas. However, if there is nothing on that list that appeals to you, please don’t feel like you have to write anything from it! I am very easy to please so don’t worry!
I hope you have fun! I have anon turned on if you want any questions or clarifications.
Thank you again!
