Dear Yuletide Author,

Hi! I'm Grave (ao3 user

graveexcitement). Thanks in advance for writing for me. I hope one or more of these prompts inspires you, but optional details are optional; feel free to ignore the prompts or only use part of them if a different idea strikes you!

The length of my prompts may vary between my requested fandoms, especially in places where I've been able to reuse prompts from previous exchanges. Don't worry - if I requested a fandom, I want it just as much as I want the other fandoms here, regardless of prompt length!

Do Not Wants:
-Non-con. (To clarify: I don't want non-con but I am fine with some dub-con, like sex pollen or other mind-altering substances.)
-Watersports/scat.

General likes/favored tropes:
I didn't really put most of these into my fandom-specific prompts, but if you want to jump off one of these tropes instead of or in addition to using the specific prompts, that's cool too!

-Telepathy
-Bodyswapping or bodysharing
-Bickering/bantering
-Time travel/time loops
-Cuddling/snuggling/falling asleep together
-Hurt/comfort (especially sickfic)
-Humor

Smut likes/favored tropes:
In general I don't tend to think of prompts that are all that explicit, so my fandom-specific prompts probably won't have any smutty prompts, but if you do want to take it in a smutty direction, I'm down!

I like:
-mind-altering substances (alcohol, recreational drugs, sex pollen, aphrodisiacs)
-telepathy/mind-melding
-xeno
-tentacles

Non-kinky/vanilla smut also fine, don't worry.

My requested fandoms:

The Expanse Series - James S.A. Corey
キミガシネ | Kimi ga Shine | Your Turn To Die
Zero Escape

The Expanse Series - James S.A. Corey

Requested character: Amos Burton

I love the Expanse verse so much! The politics, the worldbuilding, it really feels to me as if this actually could be our reality in a few hundred years' time. And everything about the protomolecule fascinates me, especially when it comes to the blending of human and protomolecule...

Warning: the following prompts include spoilers for the later books, including Tiamat's Wrath.

Amos! I recently reread Nemesis Games, and on this read I realized how much I absolutely love Amos' POV. His perspective is just fascinating; my favorite example has to be this quote:

"Thing is, for us to be in lockdown, this has to be a prison. For this to be a prison, there has to be, you know, a civilization out there. I think this just turned into a big hole in the ground with a bunch of dangerous people in it. We should leave."

So anything taking a look at Amos' perspective on things would be great. I am also fascinated by protomolecule!Amos in Tiamat's Wrath, so Amos' POV on that would be amazing. Also, I can't help but think that Amos and Holden should talk about their protomolecule experiences at some point.

Other Expanse characters are welcome. I love Amos' relationships with the crew, especially his devotion to Naomi & Holden. The Amos & Clarissa friendship is also fun, as well as Amos & Prax (Prax/Amos also welcome! Oh man, how would Prax react to protomolecule!Amos?)

キミガシネ | Kimi ga Shine | Your Turn to Die

Requested characters: Chidouin Sara, Hiyori Sou | Tsukimi Shin, Shinogi Keiji

I'm a big fan of the genre of "an eclectic cast of characters is kidnapped and forced into a death game," which is rather specific but bigger than you'd think (see also Zero Escape, below.) Your Turn To Die in particular has some interesting twists on this "genre," especially the Werewolf/Mafia-esque "hidden role" aspect of the Main Game segments.

Sara and Keiji have such a good partnership; I'm interested in what might have happened if Sou had been able/willing to work more closely with them. Or, is there any way Sou might be reconciled with them, post-Chapter 2 (on the Sou lives route)?

Other things you could explore: why does Keiji trust Sara so much, and how does he feel about Sou? What would any of them do if they were a time traveler or time looper who had been through the game before?

Ships: I'm good with any combo of ships between these three (including OT3), or completely gen.

Zero Escape

Requested character: Light Field | Snake

Zero Escape has so many of my favorite tropes -- telepathy, time travel, alternate universes, among others -- so I suppose it's only natural that I've fallen in love with this series. And of course, anything that plays with those favorite tropes would be lovely!

Ever since I first played 999, I've been ever so taken with Light. He's very charming, a tad condescending, and so, so protective of & devoted to Clover.

As you might be able to imagine, I was sad that Light appeared in neither VLR nor ZTD. What might have happened in VLR if Light was present? Either as a person preserved in cold sleep (like Clover), or an older Light (like Tenmyouji). Similarly, how might ZTD have gone down if one of the players was swapped out for Light? (Consider: a C-team consisting of Carlos, Light, and Junpei. Snarking ensues. Maybe romance also ensues??)

Or perhaps something set outside of a Nonary Game. Light putting his and Clover's lives back together after the events of 999; Light becoming an accomplished harpist (perhaps other ZE character(s) hear him play?) Maybe Light is approached by Crash Keys for help, after ZTD?

Feel free to include any of the other nominated ZE characters. Ship-wise, I'm fond of Light/Junpei, but I'm definitely open to others (Light/Carlos would be cute, and Light/Carlos/Junpei. Light/Sigma would be interesting...)

I hope you are inspired by something in this letter! Good luck, and have fun!
