noblealice | My 2025 "Dear Yuletide Writer" Request Letter

1. Percy Jackson and the Olympians (TV 2023) - Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase

I'm a new fan to the Percy Jackson universe because I watched the first season of PJO and then read the first four books because I just needed more of Annabeth and Percy. I like all the changes the show made from the books and really enjoy the chemistry between Leah and Walker. I especially like the teaser we saw of the taxi scene of S2 where Annabeth is all "I NEVER SAID BOYFRIEND!" and they share these glances while they wait for the cab to start. I'd love anything set in S2 or the gap between S1 and S2. I like missing scenes and AU what if scenes and just want more gooey pre-relationship Percabeth in the city/at camp/travelling to get Grover. I don't think Percy is THAT obtuse/oblivious/in denial of his own feelings and that Annabeth is a bit more in touch with how Percy makes her feel.

Do No Wants: overly heavy angst - sure, they deal with monsters and prophecies and end of the world type stuff but that's action-heavy, not terribly sad and I don't want them to be too upset but instead 'just be kids' to paraphrase Percy's advice to Annabeth. I don't want any racism against Annabeth.

2. Penelope (2006) - Johnny Martin, Penelope Wilhern

One day my request for this will get filled! Maybe this year?

I'd love a post-movie fic that keeps with the overall tone of the movie, but also dives into Johnny's gambling and how he quits and how they deal with that in a new relationship. If you don't want to touch on the gambling, that's okay, anything post-movie would work....maybe you want to deal with Penelope managing a relationship with her parents and Johnny when they don't see eye to eye about Penelope herself?

Do No Wants: suicide, self-harm, substance/alcohol abuse, basically anything that doesn't feel like it'd fit into this twee world of curses, phone booths, and thriving print journalism. (That may sound like I don't adore this movie, but I truly watch it at least once a year and always find something new to love).

3. Why Didn't They Ask Evans (TV 2022) - Bobby Jones, Frances "Frankie" Derwent

I adore this couple from this miniseries and one thing I want more of in fic is Frankie GETTING TO CLIMB HIM LIKE A TREE AS SHE SO DESPERATELY WANTS. (https://www.tumblr.com/noblealice/792603540497530880/useyourtelescope-frankies-not-so-subtle?source=share) So I don't really want a blushing wedding night fic where they are fumbling and unsure and a bit timid. I want an established marriage fic, where they are well and truly known to each other and comfortable. (Well, maybe Bobby is still shy in public)

Some random ideas: Bobby has to go visit his father and Frankie misses him and welcomes him home enthusiastically; they bump into each other in their tiny kitchen in their flat in London a bunch while making dinner and decide to go to bed to solve the problem; Bobby hasn't sold a car in months and having no meat to eat, just making things work for awhile without extras, but finding sweetness in each other.

Do Not Wants: racism against Knocker, surprise pregnancy/miscarriage, I can't think of a third thing

4. Star Trek: Lower Decks (Cartoon) - Alternate Universe T'Pol, Becket Mariner, Brad Boimler

Okay, so technically all the alternate universe rifts were sealed and everything was fixed in season five, BUT I just want more time of this T'Pol (who was 'married to a human for 63 years') to watch Mariner and Boimler and give them some advice/guidance/a nudge. This could be about realizing their feelings for each other (ONLY IF YOU WANT), if they remain friends and the advice is just general life stuff, that'd be okay too. To increase the chance of matching, I'm clicking the 'exceptions' box so that if you didn't select T'Pol as someone to write, I may still get a Mariner & Boimler fun time shenanigans story from you.

Do Not Wants: I have seen every ep of Lower Decks, Voyager, Enterprise, Strange New Worlds and the first season of Picard, but I haven't watched all of TOS, Discovery, Deep Space Nine, or most of TNG so no VERY deep cuts that would take more than a surface googling/wiki to ge (like, character names are fine, but an alien species that causes body swaps would need to be explained). And even for the shows/seasons I've watched, that's a lot of tv to remember, so if you are referencing a specific episode, please leave an author's note of the episode to watch to understand and I will watch it! I want to love what you love about Star Trek! Of the movies, I've seen First Contact and all the Alternate (Kelvin) Timeline ones. Otherwise, I can't think of many other restrictions? Go wild about science utopia (and maybe romance between friends?)! Oh, I have also read the Warp Your Own Way graphic novel in case that matters?

General Likes:
Romance, friends to lovers, sweet or silly fluff, smut, curtain fic, established relationships, pre-relationship pining, situations that are obvious to everyone else but the people in them, light angst that makes the happy ending even more earned, dancing/hugging/kissing/signs of affection etc.

General Dislikes:
Suicide, self harm, fat-phobia, homophobia, racism, transphobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, rape/non-con, killing or torturing a female character to get a reaction from a male character

Thank you for whatever you write, I am sure that I will love it and I plan to comment early (in ET not UST) on December 25th, which may not be early for you though (apologies, if so). I'm so pleased that we matched on a fandom and I hope that my prompts inspire you, but if you go in a different direction, I'll be okay with that as well!
