Yuletide! All right. I admit I finished signing up with minutes to spare.

Constantine (TV)
I couldn't have been more thrilled to see this nominated. What I love about the show: the truly flawed characters. It's spooky. It's miserable. It's delighted. John and Chas are their heartbreaking, f'ed-up selves to the end but Zed and Manny are never sidelined in pursuit of main-character angst. John is not a good man but he is trying very hard, and it turns out trying very hard is probably not enough. I would be happy with pretty much anything in this fandom, from a goofy smutty romp to an intense character study.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
Look there are a lot of characters in Scott Pilgrim but the two best characters are Wallace Wells [DRUNK HOMOSEXUAL] and Knives Chau [17 YEARS OLD]. Really anything, set in the present or in the future, featuring these two would be so welcome. They don't have to be the only thing going on! SPvtW is a rich tapestry of idiots and anything true to the source material and fun is welcome. Only DNW here is heavy duty misery with zero fun times.

The Brothers Sinister Series - Courtney Milan
They're sexy, they're well-intentioned, they're idiots, they're supportive bros. I love them all. The things I like best about these books are the humor and the way every character has a strong sense of self. Hijinks, witty banter, plotting, sex, and true friendship -- I would love any and all of these.

Thin Man (Movies)
Speaking of hijinks! Also speaking of witty banter and plotting. Not canonically speaking of sex but man you could be, these two definitely have an enthusiastic and varied sex life behind the scenes, separate beds be damned. These characters are so powerful that I think they could withstand basically any setting or conceit and come through beautifully. AUs, in-world mysteries, ridiculous vignettes, first-time meetings: bring it on. I love them.

Hello! Thanks for signing up. This is my first year participating in Yuletide (though not in fandom), and, you know, I'm just happy to be here. I don't have particularly strict ideas about my requests -- these are fandoms in which I would be happy to see almost any content.

For all fandoms: any rating! sex good, gen good, chaste kisses all good.
DNWs: rape/non-con. I DNW unhappy endings or major character deaths in the first two, but King Henry IV gets a pass on account of that's very much the canon.

1: Wallflower Series - Lisa Kleypas
The Wallflowers Series! Are these books particularly modern? No they are not. Are they fantastic? Mostly! My favorite Wallflowers pairing is Evie and Sebastian, because he's a smart self-centered dumbass with low self-esteem and she's steady, thoughtful, deeply in love with him, and also totally over his bullshit. I would also be happy with Lillian/Marcus either as the primary pairing or background -- I think the books lend themselves to a madcap ensemble romp where everyone is simultaneously extremely dumb and very clever.

2: England Series - K. J. Charles
Terribly romantic, aren't they? I would love something with a plot to it, either canon or AU. Archie and Daniel working together was one of the absolute highlights of the book for me. (The other highlight was how incredibly hot it was, so I guess take that under advisement.)

3: Henry IV Part 1 - Shakespeare
Boy, did I not remember how many feelings I have about Hal until I saw this tagset posted. Whoof. What a heartbreaker. The nominated characters are Hal, Hotspur, and Kate Percy and I would be happy with 'ship or gen for this -- canon or AU, divergence from the plot or not. I don't think you can hurt me more than the original play did, but hey, I'm okay if you wanna try.

Thanks very much and enjoy!
