Yuletide!!! 2021

ao3 name: specialrhino

Yay we matched on a fandom! Thanks for writing for me! Know that I value internal consistency in fic over anything else, so you can introduce any ridiculous concept or fudge timelines or get one or two details incorrect and I won’t be too fussed about it. No pressure!

Likes: silly characters being competent in their area of interest, failing upwards, people being serious about something ridiculous, people being really comfortable with one another (emotionally or physically), character A being the only person to see a particular side of character B, catharsis (like, if there is angst, hopefully the resulting comfort/vindication/other emotion is of equal or stronger force), precanon meeting and then later identity porn or simmering tension, one person being morally dubious and their other half shrugging and accepting it because nepotism, loyalty, possessive jealousy, shallow pettiness

Dislikes: when there is a cute bunny/kitten/whatever and its cuteness is not intermittently described/it is not cuddled, italics

 

Fandom: Dodosolsollatido
Characters: Gu Rara Sun Woojun

This drama was so cute and funny and lovely! The protag BREAKS THROUGH A WALL for the sake of a kimchi pancake! A hotshot doctor ends up being in an ajumma divorce club and also friends with teens! Rara’s relationship with Hayeong gives me all kinds of warm feelings jfkdls. I was also very into how into Jun found an older woman he was really into and then basically decided to prove his worth to her by providing for her in any way he could while being tsundere about it. So cute! So endearing! What great boyfriend material!

Unlike everything I loved about the show, the cough STUDYING ABROAD cough at the end really did not work for me and I would love an AU where that doesn’t happen, whether that is something a bit plottier that deals with how Jun navigates his mother finding him, or something that completely glosses over that and is set in the future.

If you want to include something crazy side plot where the VP that who stole Rara’s fortune gets his comeuppance via something Jun does or Rara cluelessly does or just by some freak coincidence I would be into it. Rara could even get some of her money back lolol although she doesn’t seem to need it.

Rara failing upward by being a nice person is much appreciated.

 

Fandom: Shopping king louis
Characters: Nam Joonhyuck, Hong Jaesook

This drama was so cute but also it gave us that amazing buildup of relationship between Louis’ aunt figure (Hong Jaesook) and the hot young cop (Nam Joonhyuck) and then let it go nowhere! What a crime!!! I don’t really want anything super angsty about divorce or anything like that – if anything, it can be framed as like, her daughter being like, “mom, you’re the lonely type, you should have a boyfriend while dad is in prison” or her husband giving her an IOU for xmas of like “you may have one (1) extramarital relationship,” or even just an odd AU where polyamory is normal.

I love how Jaesook is kind of silly but genuinely means well, even to the point of foiling the evil plots of people she's close to. It would be great if you could include her as an oblivious narrator, not understanding people thanks to being left out of the loop. I love her club of mom friends she acquires thanks to a shared sense of fashion in spite of class differences. I love how it's made really clear that Joonhyuck is aware that he's a young, strapping man who sometimes people want around to feel less lonely. He is so clearly compassionate, if in a fairly passive way.

Some prompts off the top of my head:

Something causes Joonhyuck to see Jaesook in another light!

Jaesook accidentally saves Joonhyuck in some way

Joonhyuck sees Jaesook being helped by cop and is jealous

One of Joonhyuck’s coworkers makes a joke about Jaesook being a MILF and Joonhyuck gets defensive

Joonhyuck is hired to be Jaesook’s security detail for some reason??

Joonhyuck and Jaesook accidentally find out that they have a hobby in common, like they run into one another at the opera/sports game/fancy cheese shop or have the same guilty pleasure favourite tv show

 Joonhyuck is getting uncomfortable with how much he's being pursued by a woman and lets that woman assume that he and Jaesook are an item

Bonus: anything with Jaesook failing upward or accidentally solving crime would be great.

 

Fandom: Nirvana in Fire
Characters: Mei Changsu, Meng Zhi, Lin Chen

I ship Mei Changsu/Prince Jing, ofc, but the show also really, really gave me many feelings about Mei Changsu/General Meng and Mei Changsu/Lin Chen T_T General Meng would do anything for Mei Changsu!!!!! Lin Chen is basicially Mei Changsu's husband!!!! Loyalty and familiarity and intimacy for any combination of General Meng/Mei Changsu/Lin Chen, plsss (I can imagine Lin Chen squinting at General Meng and thinking: "you're really dumb. ...but I can see why MCS likes you"). Or, just Mei Changsu having a lot of husbands. With Fei Liu there as his child, ofc.

 

I love the duality all of these characters have: Meng is often awkward and dumb and earnest (like his childish excitement and then poutiness re: the secret passage he's not allowed to use) but then turns around and is terrifyingly competent. I love how bad he is at lying, haha. Lin Chen has off the charts levels of sass that will suddenly give way to grave empathy. Mei Changsu has the patient, noble face he shows to his noble friends and then the stubborn, petty one he shows to people he's closer with/who work for him. His resistance to doctors is A+. jfdkl;as the characterization in this show is just so delicious and the different reactions each character has to different people in their lives just crank up the loyalty porn I love ittttt.

 

Mei Changsu is drugged or drunk :D he is a bit too honest with people/initiates cuddles/has to be taken care of!

 

Lin Chen (or MCS' in-home physician) is annoyed that Mei Changsu won't stay still, so he turns him into a bunny! And then entrusts him to General Meng's care.

 

The random magic in this series was great, so feel free to incorporate whatever weird shit you want :D

 

General Meng being d o m i n a t e d and being surprised but super into it.

 

in the background, Yujin marries Jingrui to strengthen relations with Southern Chu :D?

 

Lin Chen/General Meng post-canon T_T Please don't make this too sad.

General Meng has an intermittent case of the hiccups that is interfering with his work. Lin Chen keeps trying things, but they don't work very well!

Mei Changsu, Lin Chen and/or General Meng being conspicuously not into women.

Bonus: Prince Jing awkwardly trying to befriend General Meng post-Mei Changsu
