Hello Gifter!


Nice to meet you, my Yuletide compatriot! I go by Medusa, she/her, antimony_medusa on
Ao3 or antimony-medusa on tumblr. This is my third time doing Yuletide, and I feel like I finally know what I’m doing. (Note: this is probably hubris.) (Edit after fighting the html for this letter: it was absolutely hubris.) I hope you are having an excellent exchange and end-of-year season, and thank you for taking on this gift! I have attempted to organise my thoughts in this letter, let’s go.


Some of these fandoms I have lots of thoughts about and some of them I have little– that is because with some of these ideas I just become the “brainful” emoji and stare at them with no thoughts in my head. But I still love them. I would be equally happy to get a gift for literally anything I requested, I did not request anything I would not be delighted with.


Note that I only requested porn in one fandom, but I am good with smut in any other fandom that I didn't DNW it for— I just don't have very specific prompts or ideas for it outside of that one fandom. Feel free to do smut in another fandom if you feel it fits, but equally do not feel compelled in any way. I included my smut DNW and my likes out of a sense of wanting to cover my bases, not intending to demand anything. I don't have strong feelings about top/bottom or dom/sub dynamics in any fandom, feel free to follow your bliss.


DNW
Hopefully everyone’s on the same page with this, but just in case it isn’t or I hit your specific likes: nothing in my DNW is a value judgement, it’s just a list of specific triggers and squicks and preferences within the specific fandoms I’m operating in. If you love Major Character Death fic, you go on with your bad self. Just not for me, in this exchange, please. Awesome, thank you.


I have done my best to make sure my prompts and my DNW do not contradict, but if the specifics of a prompt specify something that contradicts the DNW– for example MCD is on my DNW, but some of the prompts include MCD in alternate
timelines or backstory–I assume the prompt to take priority. I have a general DNW here, and have listed some fandom-specific DNWs where appropriate. I assume that if a thing comes up significantly in canon it’s okay to include with the
characters who have it as a strong part of their narrative– I’d prefer not grief stories in general but Maia’s story is definitely informed by grief in canon–and have attempted to specify any exceptions to that in fandoms-specific DNWs


DNW:

  • Grief/Death/Illness:


    • Grief narratives except canon instances referenced in backstory

    • Cancer/Chemotherapy/Terminal Illness

    • Childhood Cancer/Child death

    • Artificially shortened or magically shortened lifespan

    • Covid

    • MCD except in canon instances or referenced in backstory, and still, if it's
      a world with respawn, I'd prefer if we end with some form of the person
      back

    • Suicide (self sacrifice okay)

    • Infertility/Miscarriage/Abortion

    • Death of a parent

    • Hurt No Comfort/Unhappy Endings (bittersweet/open endings okay)

      function

    • Eating disorders/disordered eating unless specifically indicated in the
      prompt


  • Relational:


    • Incest

    • Grooming (the predatory behaviour, hair brushing is fine)

    • Underage (under 18s being in age-appropriate romantic relationships with
      other minors/having crushes are fine, I am specifically talking about sexual
      content)

    • Age regression (de-aging is fine, prohibitions about adult/minor ships and
      underage extend to de-aged characters)

    • Stalking


  • Violence:


    • Hand trauma

    • Harry Potter AUs (fantasy or magic school not in hogwarts okay)

  • Societal:


    • Magical cure of disability or illness (assistive coping techniques or
      devices okay)

    • Anarchists repeating conservative talking points (just get a job, etc)

    • Phonetically spelled baby talk or speech impediments. Dropping your gs and
      things like “wanna” are fine, but I would prefer to avoid straight up
      eye-dialect for accents.

    • Any named character as modern/mundane law enforcement (superhero au
      fine)

    • Girlboss/Failhusband characterization for F/M

    • Therapy-speak/characters being extremely emotionally literate and
      emotionally intelligent

    • characters speaking about mental health or identity as though they had a
      tumblr account/knew all the online lingo






NSFW DNW:

  • Oral Knotting

  • Scat or Piss

  • Felching

  • CG/L

  • daddy/mommy kink

SMPEarth
*Techno Voice* Antarctic Empire Rules The World!


Ahem. Right. I mean, yeah. Hi, it’s me, I’m the predictable aeduo/techza person in the SMPEarth tag. I just. I like them. *The camera pans to where I have a SMPEarth vod open in my tabs. Or wait, is that two VODS, one from
Techno’s POV and one from Phil’s? Wow.* Ahahahah. We don’t have to go into how abnormal I am about those guys, it’s fine, it’s all FINE.


Antarctic Empire! We live in the cold at the bottom of the world, and it sucks, but it’s home. We’ll take over the world together, follow each other to the gates of hell. It’s about being absolutely ride or die besties, while also just casually trusting each other with your back. Anything worth doing is worth doing way, way too hard, from building a house to claiming land to being friends. The aeduo/techza relationship is the core of the interest for me, but I also really love worldbuilding (including political worldbuilding) on this absolutely bonkers map, i love plays on the canon taking over the world or moon battle, I love aus taking the canon and flying into the horizon with it, and I love inventing some more peril and then doing hurt/comfort about it.


I am good with AEduo being platonic, war buddies, besties, qpr, or romantic, and I’m good with appearances from other characters, especially Sophie, Tommy, Sneeg, or FitMC, and I didn’t even know that Quackity was on this server but if you wanted to work him into the lore too that would be fascinating. Also note that I’m also fine with a populated world for SMPEarth, and feel free to make up some OCs about it.


Fandom-specific DNW: Any reference to CC!techno’s death | Any
reference to a death for C!Techno | bad dad phil or abusive family dynamics |
Tommy-centric | Wilbur Soot | Techno or Tommy as Phil's children


Fandom-specific Likes: AEduo/Techza, Techno being an undisputed
badass and also having social anxiety (and phil showing up to be his support),
Phil being the Angel of Death here to cause mayhem and also being terrifyingly
competent (And techno being so impressed by Phil’s competence), playing with the
very real foe that is the antarctic cold, aus, friendship in general,
worldbuilding, loyalty, friendship.


If you would like prompts,


  • PREQUEL where they were NOT allies and they have to work together, and learn
    they can trust each other?

  • Character taken prisoner; expects torture/humiliation; gets kind & honorable
    treatment: Another one where what IF they were enemies and THEN?

  • Time Travel - Meeting younger version of loved one and finding them in a bad
    state: You KNOW these boys come with traumatic backstory.

  • king's health linked to kingdom's: Oh? LIke you could do SO MUCH with
    worldbuilding with this one.

  • Married for Tax Benefits/So You Can't Testify Against Someone in Court: I
    just think this could be very funny. What is SMPEarth if not a comedy
    series?

  • Characters involuntarily soulbonded by authorities use soulbond to rebel
    against the authority? Eh? Eh? If you want a crazy AU? Play with the san malo
    trials with this?

  • Okay this one takes a little more to explain, but specifically one of the
    characters (I'm thinking techno) stuck in a time loop where he keeps seeing
    massive military losses, loosing all his people he's responsible for and also
    his co-emperor dies. It seems like the only way out of the time loop is
    "accepting the loss" but he refuses to do that, because surely if he does this
    enough times he can figure out a way to save people? And then by pure
    stubbornness and tactics and don’t ever ever say die he defeats the time loop
    and saves people? (Note that with this prompt I’m okay with major character
    death cause it doesn’t stick.)

  • Retelling the taking over the world in a new funky format-- script, or 2nd
    person, or found footage, or epistolary-- go for it!

  • Wingfic - Comforter's wings as warm covering for hurt/sick character. What
    if they were COZY.

  • Dehumanized and Abused Character is Shown Genuine Love and Affection– either
    taking this in a literal and au direction (i’m literally always at home to this
    trope) or playing with how Techno was increasingly never seen as a person, just
    a threat or an opportunity for advancement– except for his very few
    friends.





Origins SMP
Origins my beloved. Alive and dead and alive and dead and alive and dead again. AND ALIVE IN OUR HEARTS. I love the sort of wacky hijinks tone, and the sense of community and care, and the idea that despite some of these people being villains they have a network of people they love.


I’m fine with sneegza as friends/crime buddies, some kind of henchman QPR, or something romantic/sexual! I’m also okay with other characters being included as well, with DNW exceptions– I have a special fondness for Techno, Ranboo, Tubbo,
Bekyamon, or Shubble. I’m good with both aus and things set in canon!


Fandom-specific DNW: Any reference to CC!techno’s death | Any
reference to a death for C!Techno | bad dad phil or abusive family dynamics |
techno as phil's son | Tommy-centric | Phil's story revolving on or centering on
wilbur | Wilbur-centric | Hybrid Hunters, Hybrid Racism.


Fandom-specific Likes: Crowfather being a silly supervillain,
Sneeg being delighted to be a henchman, wacky hijinks/capers/goofs/crime,
loyalty and friendship, hybrid-accessible world and worldbuilding, banter and
bits being a cover for genuine care which may or may not ever be spoken aloud,
but it’s there– oh the care is there.


If you would like prompts:

  • Cooking food to comfort but it doesn’t go well – i do not believe either of
    those guys can cook

  • Cursebreaking and ensuing delight and relief

  • Big Trip AU! They have to get through public transit/the airport/the snack
    buying/customs/a storm shutting down the ferry/etc. Slice of life only with
    Travel Woes.

  • Bodyswap--character's hidden or downplayed pain/illness is discovered
    because of bodyswap

  • Waiting by someone’s bed for them to wake up after an injury.

  • Wingfic - Comforter's wings as warm covering for hurt/sick character





The Basement Yard (Podcast)
Okay so here is where I admit that my actual contact with the podcast has been spotty, I mostly know them from my friend linking tiktoks of them and saying “they know each other carnally” and I watch the clip and I go “that’s INSANE– and this was posted on the podcast channel?” and then my friend claws at his face. I am not a huge canon knower here, however– they compel me. Does a guy need to know the source material to say I would like to see more of these little guys? I ask you.


This does offer you the opportunity to avow that nearly anything can happen in an imaginary episode of the podcast and I’ll believe it, so, y’know, if that’s a plus.


Fandom-specific DNW: The presence of any real people younger
than 18 | focus on cheating | conservative politics | setting-change AUs for
this fandom


Fandom-specific Likes: look. They compel me. I am a sucker for a friendship and and I am a sucker for a friendship where you’re like okay arguably we are actually in love and I am a sucker for then going WHAT IF THEY KISSED. I love the horrible banter and how fond they are of each other. Equally happy with friendship, some sort of QPR bro-mance, or them kissing.


If you would like prompts:

  • Look. This is not mandatory but this is a request for porn. They’ve explored
    each other’s bodies I just know it. Give me the porn. They’re literally posting
    tiktoks about being each other’s type. They want to see the porn. Let’s make
    this happen. They don’t even have to be romantic about it, but what if they
    kissed.

  • Drag episode TWO

  • Just guys being bros talking about how they love each other and then
    swerving away, so y’know, just a podcast episode.




Tommy's 2024 Minecraft Let's Play (Web
Series)

What a wild fandom. I’m so delighted that this one made it into the tag set. Me every week opening up youtube.com/tommyinnit to see what new horror is happening. And boy does Tommy deliver. What the fuck is GODORP™.

I’m happy for any combination of characters to be focused on (and as of October 13th as I write this, I’m also fine if you want to include canon characters who joined in later weeks,) if you want to delve into schlumbo’s doomed romance,
have some guys who didn’t overlap meet each other, or do Tommy-centric. I’m equally okay with an approach to this where fourth wall breaks are common in humour and it’s more streamers fucking around in minecraft, and a dedicated minecraft worldbuilding approach where you dig into the crumbs of lore we’ve gotten and take things seriously. Is t!phil also the angel of death? Is t!schlatt a ram hybrid? Are people isekaied into this world or did they get here on purpose? You tell me!


Fandom-specific DNW: focus on irl interpersonal drama in any
more detailed way than tommy's jokes about his former friends being bad people |
infidelity jokes | Wilbur Soot (vague mentions okay but no detail and no
character/t!Wilbur) | focus on Techno's death in any way more detailed than
Tommy's jokes about resurrecting his friend, and if you do include that I'd
prefer you include Techno as a character | phil/tommy shipping (tommy flirting
is fine but I would prefer phil not reciprocate)


Fandom-specific Likes: Banter oh god the horrible banter in
this series has my heart, I’d be delighted to see what you do with any ships you
want to spin up, worldbuilding on the one hand or a very “this is taking place
in minecraft” approach on the other, i am always a sucker for phil-focus but I
also love the other guys in this


If you would like prompts,

  • Pride on the QSMP. I said what I said. (Though if you do this, please don’t
    emphasise anyone being straight and unincluded in the community as a punch line–
    I am completely fine with Tommy assigning Charlie bisexual while he goes wait
    what– am I???? and similar methods of making someone part of the gang.)

  • Looks at how bad so many of these people are at minecraft and how often
    someone’s calling in on their phone from a boat. You know I’d love to see the
    gang fight a wither or everybody trial chamber. Phil’s life is suffering.

  • If you offered this fandom I think there’s a decent chance you’re a MCYT
    fan. You know the fandom. What on EARTH would happen if you superhero au out of
    this gang? Are the goats the adversaries? Are they all vigilantes or is someone
    organised?

  • Imaginary video where Techno is there. How? I leave that in your court,
    whether you’re going with a “never died”, “in minecraft the character is here”,
    “ghost”, or something else. Happy ending for this one please though.





Astreiant Series - Melissa Scott & Lisa A.
Barnett

Any constellation of characters in the tag set would delight me. I would literally be happy with anything in this world, I'm subscribed to the author's patreon for extra snippets. I love the main characters, I love the worldbuilding, and I love Istre b'Estorr (loyal survivalist necromancer of my heart). Go crazy.


This is a situation where I don't have a lot of words to say because I am just failing madly at you about this world and these guys. Friendship! Romance! Murder! Tea! Astrology! It's all here! Anything you can do would please me!


Fandom-specific DNW: The points presented as always right or
always moral, though I'm fine with our GUYS being good/moral. Just I'd like the
fact that most of the others take fees not to be forgotten if we get into
discussions of justice | breaking up Rathe/Eslingen


Fandom-specific Likes: Worldbuilding, domesticity, characters
doing their best in a flawed system, information about necromancy, astrology, or
how the magic works, peril resolved happily.


If you would like prompts, some things that would be fun me would be:

  • A backstory piece— maybe b'Estorr's time in court, or Rathe as a tiny runner
    or just starting out with the Points.

  • Something soft and slice of life, maybe around sharing a meal or escaping
    from weather, just highlighting trust and friendship.

  • Casefic (would I be a fan of this series if I didn't mention casefic, but
    that one's a big ask so don't feel compelled)

  • Ghosts And Peril????????????





The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine
Addison

Goblin Emperor my absolute beloved. I requested Maia, but I’d also be happy with any combination of Cala Athmaza, Csethiro Ceredin, Csevet Aisava, and/or Deret Beshelar. I’d also be happy with things featuring worldbuilding, as that's a big
draw of the series for me. I love the strong platonic bonds in the series, and the continual choosing of friendship and kindness despite it all, and the hope, and the formal grammar (with incredibly important breaks into informality), and
did I mention the friendship?


This series is so close to my heart. I just want to spend time in the world, with the loyalties and friendships and trusting in the goodness of people despite it all. Anything you do will be good. :D


Fandom-specific DNW: Noncon | Dubcon | Smut/NSFW |
Torture | Non-canon romantic or sexual ships. I would like to specify that I
know that underage is strongly implied as part of canon backstory for some
characters, so I don't feel like DNWing it is fair, but I'd prefer if any
narrative not dwell on it if possible.


Fandom-specific Likes: Maia being kindhearted despite
it all, a curiosity about technology and the future, all the characters being
awkward and not necessarily good with emotions because of the formality of the
situation but being caring so much, grammar and language, earnestness and
sincerity in the face of court politics and this not being punished by the
narrative, these people becoming family even or maybe especially
because family is so complex.


Some prompts— none of these are required, feel free to come up with something
else, but if you want something to jump off of.

  • A road trip, perhaps for the emperor's court to visit the bridge, or the
    steppes?

  • A side scene from the original book, perhaps around Maia's visits to the
    chapel?

  • Or, if you want some more AUs type situations, perhaps Time Travel -
    Meeting younger version of loved one and finding them in a bad state
    :
    delving into traumatic backstory but we can make it BETTER.

  • Or, king's health linked to kingdom's? Like you could do SO MUCH
    with worldbuilding with this one.
