Dear Yuletide Writer,
Hi! I’m 27twinsister, and this is a letter detailing my requests for 2023. I accept treats for all my requests. I also love poetry, so if you want to make a poem as a treat I'm cool with that :) (If you want to make a very long poem or a collection of poems a total of 1000+ words long, you can, but good luck.)
Blanket DNWs: Unrequested Smut, Graphic Blood/Injury, Major Character Death, Pregnancy, Genderswap, Script Format, Mentions of Covid-19, Unrequested Romantic Relationships, Unrequested Gender/Sexuality Headcanons, Animal Abuse
General likes: Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Sickfic, Epistolary, Pre-Canon, N Times/N Things, Soulmate AUs (platonic, or romantic if I requested romance)
Epistolary does apply to any format (letters, diaries, social media posts, newspapers, etc). You can write script format for texting/internet messages/emails if you go with that. Otherwise, the Script Format DNW applies.
Fics can be set during the holidays or not, depending on your preference. I'm fine with it either way. I've noted a couple "This character canonically celebrates this/has a canon birthday/this is a significant date in canon" according to my knowledge in fandom-specific sections.
Generally I headcanon all my gender headcanons as "how characters present in the show matches how they want to present." Character-specific gender/sexuality headcanons will be in their fandom’s section if they apply. If you want me to ramble about my gender/sexuality headcanons (or have a question about if you can include something in a fic, which is more relevant) I am happy to answer, but Yuletide rules say if you have questions for your recipient you have to ask via mods.
หอมกลิ่นความรัก | I Feel You Linger in the Air
This show is currently airing, as of sign-ups closing there will only be 2 episodes left (out of 12). It’s amazing. If you’re thinking of watching this show in order to write me a gift, know that there are…a decent amount? Of trigger warnings. (As in mature content, but also flashing lights warnings.) I have a separate post on my journal detailing timestamps so you can avoid them.
Characters: Jom, Khun Yai, Khun Lek
Romance allowed: Jom/Yai
Platonic Relationships allowed: Khun Yai & Khun Lek (sibling fluff) or all requested characters (Yai&Lek&Jom)
Regarding canon arranged marriages that involve Jom or Yai, just...pretend they don't exist. I want Jom and Yai to be with each other, not with girls. For other canon arranged marriages, mentioning them is fine, but as they don't involve characters I requested they shouldn't be focused on.
Fandom-Specific DNW: Modern AU and futuristic/sci-fi AUs
Regarding the Fandom-specific DNW, adding fantasy and magic and even technology that exists in to the canon time period is fine (cars existed in the 1920s, but nobody canonically has one/they're not common). Exploring the inherent time shenanigans that come with this series is definitely allowed. But don’t make the main story set in the 2020s with a focus on the modern world, technology, social media, etc. The main show is set in the 1920s and I like it there. You CAN write AUs that change the setting, like University AU, but it should still be set in the 1920s-ish.
For epistolary, diaries and journals and letters are always allowed. Khun Yai writing a very long poem expressing his feelings for Jom is very much allowed, lol.
I approve of romance and smut between Yai/Jom, if the smut is consensual and appropriate for the time period. Like, these characters are gay in the 1920s and share a house with other people and whatnot, they would have to be quiet and discreet. Episode 6 establishes a kinda 1920s-version-of-a-gay-bar and while they’re generally accepting I don’t know how acceptable sex in public would be there.
If you hurt Lek (for hurt/comfort or angst reasons) don’t make it super-serious. He’s a kid, he’ll cry over a little bruise or papercut.
The characters in this show canonically celebrate Christmas in episode 6 (there's a Christmas party, though we don't see Lek during it because it's adults-only). As of episode 9, I don't think there's been any mention of the new year?
Also I didn’t nominate them because they’re not really a distinct character but Hope the piglet is very much allowed. Hurting Hope the piglet is not allowed.
Click for links to some official clips from episodes 4-9 that may be relevant (and even if not, they're really cute)
This clip of episode 4 has a couple things: 0:12-3:05 is Khun Yai and Jom using a typewriter together. 3:09-7:57 is a nice scene with them drawing, and is also a scene featuring Khun Lek. However, it does have some dissociation/derealization from about 6:12-7:35 so you can skip that or just end the clip early if you want
This (entire) clip of episode 5 has Khun Yai teaching Jom how to make flower garlands
This clip of episode 5 from 2:11-4:45 has some good comfort with Jom and drunk Khun Yai
This clip of episode 5 from 1:08-2:46 has Jom recreating the above clip with now-sober Khun Yai. It also later (about 5 mins-end) has the same scene of them making garlands
The first minute of this clip from episode 5 is very fluffy and actually has all three of my requested characters
This clip from episode 6 has Khun Yai's love confession from 2:00-2:57
This whole clip from episode 6 has gift-giving and their first kiss (first kiss: 2:18-2:50) and is just really cute (but the clip might have audio issues, at least after the kiss for me)
This clip from episode 7 starts with, uh, lowkey smut (M-rated at most) before cutting away, but it's not clickbait because it has the same scene from 2:52-9:11 and it's actually a good example of what I mean I like for smut with these two. Like, technically it's not sex/masturbation, and it's not kinky, but it's still intimate and sexy and quiet
This clip from episode 8 has more, uh, like, definitely sexy/making out until about 5 mins. (Still YouTube-appropriate, not too explicit)
This is a nice clip from episode 9 talking about Yai's dreams/backstory/relationship with his father
This clip from episode 9 has hurt/comfort romance vibes (Yai taking care of Jom).
From 3:06 to basically the end of this clip Jom and Yai talk about how when they saw the other person it was love at first sight and all that cute sappy stuff.
I couldn't find an official clip of the scene, but episode 9 has a scene with Jom and Lek, and mentions Yai. (It's very plot-relevant, but it's information the audience is supposed to know at that point) 35:34-37:53 in the uncut version, and 24:40-26:45 in the TV version. (Links go to the full episodes, but to the starting time specified)
ジャックフロスト | Jack o' Frost
Characters: Ritsu
Portraying Ritsu and Fumiya as romantic or platonic is allowed!
Ritsu is the cutest ever. Ritsu not knowing that he dated Fumiya and going "I have a really nice roommate :)" is very good. Ritsu fluff please uwu. (Ritsu, my beloved, there is only one bed. Why do you think there is only one bed.)
Fumiya will likely be necessary for plot reasons, but is not required to appear or have a prominent role. I’d like the gift to focus on Ritsu and his perspective, perhaps falling for Fumiya with no idea that they’re kinda exes. Romance and dating encouraged. Ritsu awkwardly coming out to his kinda-ex-boyfriend because he doesn’t remember coming out to him before (because amnesia) encouraged, that’s a really good (if angsty) idea.
Ritsu's birthday is canonically February 16th according to a calendar in the show.
Power Rangers SPD
Characters: Bridge, Boom, Kat (are all the characters in the tag set)
No romance, please!
These are my favourite SPD characters. I will take works focused on any or all of them. We are so close to 2025 and I’m very normal about that.
One thing I always think about for SPD is that the B-squad are 2000s kids- Bridge is canonically born in 2004 and Boom is…maybe born very late 90s? I’m not sure he has a canon age but he’s not that much older than Bridge. And pre-canon about the B-squad in general is always good. I have a headcanon that Bridge’s favourite Disney movie is Frozen, you don’t have to include/agree with that but like, think about things like that when writing them.
Kat Manx is not a 2000s kid. But exploring what she was doing pre-canon would be interesting too. You could also use Kat to explore how New Tech City formed and how nonhuman characters are treated in SPD's world in general.
In terms of holiday fic, it’s canon that Bridge is Jewish. I don't know if it's canon that my other requested characters celebrate Christmas or something, but still. Also, Boom and his parents would have THE dumbest holiday traditions and Boom would find them so childish (like, he’s an adult now they don’t have to do traditions from when he was little but his parents love him and ask him to come over for the holidays and make a gingerbread house while wearing the ugliest Christmas sweaters possible or something)
I headcanon Bridge as aromantic and love him in the most queerplatonic way possible. He is very good. I like the colour green. He’s green. He’s my fave.
I also headcanon both Boom and Bridge as using He/They/Xe pronouns (He/Him, They/Them, Xe/Xeir/Xem). I also legit headcanon Kat as Catgender for the most obvious reasons, but I don’t headcanon her as trans.
Click here if you wanna read more about how I use the label trans because I went on a tangent
Basically, I use the label trans to mean characters don’t identify with what they were assigned at birth. As Kat isn’t human, and we don’t know how her species’ society works, technically we don’t know if she was assigned female at birth. So I headcanon Kat, and many other nonhumans, as "not male or female but not necessarily trans or nonbinary" if their society doesn’t have the same gender binary our human world does.
I also use the label trans for human characters sometimes, and use it the way you probably expect, but I very rarely use the label trans for human characters, because…like, I don’t use that label for myself? I’m genderqueer, and to me genderqueer is a more broad umbrella term than trans, so I tend to headcanon characters with labels I use or relate to more, and the label trans just doesn’t end up used as often.
Kamen Rider Gotchard
Characters: Houtarou, Rinne, Renge, Sabimaru
No romance, please!
Platonic relationships I would like focus on (either/or, you pick): Hotaro&Rinne, Sabimaru&Renge
Kinda-Fandom-Specific DNW: the "DNW: animal abuse" applies to chemmies as well as regular animals
These are my children I love them all. You can include all of them, or just Hotaro&Rinne and Renge&Sabimaru in pairs (Gen, not romance please). Also, feel free to involve (friendly) Chemmies, especially Hopper1, but that’s not required.
Hotaro is a sweetheart he’s just a little guy I love him I love his (kinda weird) cooking. Him making food for the others, holiday-related or not, would be fun. Rinne might disagree. (Though make the food…like, it can be whatever, and doesn’t have to be holiday-related, but make it taste at least a little good. If it’s made with love that means it tastes good, right?)
Sabimaru&Renge don’t have much focus yet (as of sign-ups) but they’re those characters that got 2 seconds of screentime and consumed my brain. They appear for more than just a few seconds in episode 5 and become more prominent as of episode 7. (Note: episode 8 airs after sign-ups close) They definitely knew each other pre-canon (like, maybe not since childhood, but at least since a previous year of high school) and it could be interesting to explore how they met and what their relationship was like early on.
I haven’t come up with any sexuality or gender headcanons for Gotchard yet so like, if you have a gender or sexuality headcanon and want to include it you can ask, but I might not share that headcanon/might not want it in my fic.
Also if I can say a formatting thing about Sabimaru, I tend to put his dialogue using Isaac in italics (of course whispering/quiet talking is formatted as regular dialogue). Nobody else has written fic with Sabimaru yet, so I haven’t seen any other way of writing dialogue for Isaac, so I’m just saying what I do/prefer as a writer. (Script format DNW still applies, but besides that do whatever.)
Kamen Rider Zi-O
Characters: Heure, Woz
No romance, please!
I want platonic Heure&Woz. Whether that's fluffy, angsty, whatever. Other Zi-O characters are allowed to exist/be mentioned but shouldn't be the focus of the story.
They are both so good and I want to see them together. They have such different views on Ohma Zi-O I’m interested in what they think of each other (you could say that about Woz and any Time Jacker, but I’m specifying Heure because he’s my fave and there was a limited amount of nominations.)
Also these are just my two favourite people from Zi-O in general. Woz is a cute boy with a book, what more can I say. Heure is a baby I need to protect him, what more can I say. (But seriously, if you go with hurt/comfort for this pair either make Woz the hurt one or make Heure not get hurt too badly.)
Zi-O episode 16 is canonically set at Christmas, and as of episode 17 it's officially the new year.
Heure and Woz are from the future (2068) and I’d like to think that being LGBTQ+ is much more normalized by then. I headcanon Woz as agender and aroace. I don’t want to dump all the neopronouns on you so I’ll go with He/They/Ze, (He/Him, They/Them, Ze/Zem/Zeir) whether you alternate between them or just use one set is up to you. For Heure, I headcanon him as nonbinary and using He/They/Ve pronouns (He/Him, They/Them, Ve/Vir/Virs). Heure is also canonically gay I don’t make the rules on that part. (I’m not requesting shipfic, though.)
ALSO, when I say I like pre-canon and also these characters are from 2068, yes I absolutely mean "I wanna see what they were doing in 2068, before they went back in time".
I’ve seen a ton of Heisei Rider (and all of Reiwa) but am not interested in crossovers with other seasons for this exchange.
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger
Characters: Captain Marvelous, Gai, Luka, Ahim
Romance Allowed: OT6 (Marvelous/Ahim/Joe/Doc/Luka/Gai) see below for sub-pairings I especially like but all combinations of Gokaigers are allowed. Kinky smut is also allowed for this request, I'll list smut-specific likes and DNWs at the end.
I am not immune to the Gokaiger OT6. My favourite sub-pairs are Marvelous/Any Gokaiger, Gai/Luka and Ahim/Luka if you want to focus on them. I am okay with any combination of the OT6, including ones with Joe and/or Doc and I (obviously) like gen, but the sign-up forced me to pick my fave characters or go with Any, and I didn’t want to select Any.
Note regarding "DNW: Unrequested Romantic Relationships" for this request: any combination of the OT6 is allowed, including ones with Joe and/or Doc, but I still kept that DNW in my request just in case because I don’t want shipping outside of the OT6, like with Jealoushto (who’s also in the tagset).
Anyways, my main reason for this request is because the Gokaigers are aliens/not human except Gai, and I like the idea of exploring cultural differences, love languages, different writing systems, etc. Xenobiology is also allowed, as long as it doesn't break any DNWs, smut-specific or otherwise. (Although, now that I've said that, I'm wondering if the Gokaigers can get covid...don't make it about covid, but general sickfic can be good if you're now thinking about that too.)
Episode 44 of Gokaiger is the Christmas episode, if the episode title didn't make it obvious, lol.
Gokaiger Gender/Sexuality/Pronoun headcanons
First of all, I don’t think Captain Marvelous identifies with any labels. Like, maybe I could come up with specific labels, but he wouldn’t actually describe himself as any of those words. If you asked, he’d just say he’s Captain Marvelous.
I really like the Gokaiger body swap episode (episode 27). I liked seeing Luka (in Doc’s body) getting to experiment with her presentation. I headcanon Luka as queer and using She/He/They pronouns (She/Her, He/Him, They/Them).
For Ahim, I headcanon her as demi-panromantic asexual, and using the pronouns Ae/Aer/Aers in addition to She/Her, they just fit aer so well imo.
I headcanon Gai as queer and using He/She pronouns (He/Him, She/Her).
Again, if you want more gender/sexuality headcanon rambling, I am happy to provide answers.
Smutty likes and DNWs
Smutty likes: Dubcon due to alcohol/drugs, Oral Sex, Dom/sub, Collars and/or jewelry to represent consensual ownership/possessiveness, Bladder control, Omorashi, Scat, Lingerie, Tentacles, Rope Bondage, Handcuffs, Consensual Exhibitionism/Voyeurism, Sex Toys
Smutty DNWs: Rape/Non-con (including past/implied), Ageplay, Vomit/Emetophilia, Weapon kinks (guns, knives, etc.), Bloodplay, Pregnancy/Breeding/Menstruation kinks, Mommy/Daddy kinks, Eating faeces (scat) I’ve seen a lot of Sentai both pre- and post-Gokaiger, but am not interested in crossovers with other seasons for this exchange.
