Yuletide 2023

fajrdrakoHow quickly another Yuletide rolls around. I missed it last year. This year... well, here I am. Part of this is copied from last time, because some things just don't change.
My tastes and desires don't change much from year to year, though new fannish loves get added to the mix. So here I am again - with new fannish loves, and many old ones. The options are a little different this year, so I'm trying to make my requests different this time.
I'm always happy to get new prompts for stories about beloved characters, and always happy to get stories, so it's a good trade.
As always, the template here is taken from [personal profile] triplesalto.
Hello and welcome to my Yuletide letter! Thank you for writing for me.
AO3 name: fajrdrako
General likes: Competence, heroism, adventures, slow burn romance, passionate feelings, first times, five-times fics, happy endings, history. Good grammar and good spelling and that more nebulous thing, good style, are all very important to me - more important than story content. I love in-character fanfic that makes me feel I know a character better than I did before. More...
Smut Likes: Detailed explicit sex, sex in which the characters are really eager for it, M/M, F/F, MMF, FFM, threesomes or sexual groupings of any configuration, bisexual characters, teasing, romantic sex, passionate feelings, bondage, sexual tension and/or delayed gratification.
DNWs: unhappy endings, character death, rape, extreme changes from canon characterization, explicit gore and violence.
Fandoms Requested this year: (1) 1st Century BCE Roman Politics RPF, (2) Falco Series - Lindsay Davis, (3) Swordspoint Series - Ellen Kushner, (4) Warchild Series - Karin Lovachee, (5) The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison,
~~~
Fandom 1: Books: Lymond Chronickles
Francis Crawford as hero, vagabond, wit, friend, traitor, adventurer, clown, and all his connections. Colourful, complex, conflicted Lymond.
~~~
Fandom 2: Books: Falco Series - Lindsay Davis
I love Falco himself, and Helena Justina, of course. I love Falco's particular view of the world, and his trials and tribulations.
~~~
Fandom 3: Books: Swordspoint Series - Ellen Kushner
Most of all, I love people duelling. I love the glamour of the setting: the fancy clothes of the elite, the dinginess of the poor. I love Katherine and Richard and Alec; the uncertainties of their lives, the acuity of their ambitions. I love Riverside and their roles in it.
~~~
Fandom 4: Books: Warchild Series - Karin Lowachee
Any interaction that explores the characters and the world, not to mention life on the Macedon, would be welcome.
~~~
Fandom 5: Books: The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison
I loved the world, the conflicts and tensions within it, the magic, the political finagling, the impossible names and ranks, the potentials. So colourful and dramatic that the personal seems lost in it. Fascinating world and people.
