Letter for yuletide.

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Thanks for writing for me! Below is more information about my general likes and what I like about each fandom. However, please don't let this letter confine you if your muse comes up with something else. I look forward to your spin on the characters and the fandom. :3

My General Likes

- stories with a touch of humor here and there
- bittersweet turns of events that come with happy endings that are earned
- or just happy endings in general
- exploration on how a character gets from one point to the next
- tone that follows the original source
- gen (not focused on romance; background pairings are fine)
- underdogs
- exploration of bonds shared between characters
- secrets
- familial bonds
- friendship
- rivalry
- plotty fic

If you want to see what kind of fics I've enjoyed in the past, you can find my favorited fics and bookmarks here and here. I am fine with spoilers for any ongoing series.

Bokura no Kiseki

Requested Characters: Minami Harusumi, Zeze Ryou

What I like about the series: BnK has kept me guessing a lot. I love the mystery and the complicated relationships, as well as the world-building and laws of magic. Even though there are tons of characters, I find them memorable and never have a hard time keeping them straight. Minami has been a fascinating protagonist with the way he responds to conflicts, never afraid to play the bad guy. He's every bit a teenager in the present life, yet he carries a regal air with him. Zeze, on the other hand, is as different from his past self as anyone can be. Will his past life end up changing him, or will he be able to remain carefree?

Prompts:
1) Zeze accidentally regains his memories much earlier on. How does that change things?
2) Minami and/or Zeze momentarily forget the present and are instead their past selves, living in the present, while everyone else tries to help them get back to normal. How do their past selves react to learning what happened, and what do they think of the present?
3) Minami helps Zeze practice magic, triggering an incomplete memory that leads to an apology.

Shishunki Bitter Change

Requested Characters: Kimura Yuuta, Ootsuka Yui

What I like about the series: I've never read a body-swapping story where the characters stay as each other for such a long period of time and end up having to experience growing up as the other person. From how long they've been each other, will they truly be used to going back to their own bodies after this? I hope for a happy ending for them, whether they're stuck as each other forever, or they find their way back to their original bodies.

Prompts:
1) Yuuta, Yui, and Kazuma decide to move in together.
2) Years down the line, they still haven't switched back. They have their hearts set on a future career, but do they go for the dream career they want for themselves, or the career that the other person wants in hopes that they will eventually switch back?
3) Back in their own bodies, they don't really know what's normal anymore. Other people are surprised by the change in their personalities.

(I am requesting the printed comic version and not the web version.)

Shingeki no Bahamut | Rage of Bahamut

Requested Characters: Azazel, Mugaro

What I like about the series: Shingeki no Bahamut is such an epic anime, both season 1 and season 2. I love how the characters come together and just how thrilling many scenes are. The quieter scenes are equally lovely, and I came out of s2 fascinated by Azazel and his ward. I never paid Azazel much attention in season 1, haha, but he shot up to favorite character in season 2. It's fun getting to see him riled up and having a soft spot for Mugaro.

Prompts:
1) Azazel tries to leave Mugaro behind but fails each time.
2) What is going through Azazel's mind when he decides to make an instrument for Mugaro? How does Mugaro respond to receiving the instrument?
3) For a while, their lives are almost peaceful.
4) It's a day to celebrate fathers. Mugaro can only think of one person to celebrate with.
