Dear Author_Yuletide 2025

Dear Author, thank you so much for writing a story for me.

You can find me as Claire_cz on AO3.

Here’s a list of my general likes, DNWs, some prompts for individual requests and finally, I talk about the mini-challenges I participate in ;)

The first thing I’d like to point out is: I love the atmosphere of the requested shows/books. I love them and I want to have moooore of it, so I usually prefer the canon-verse or some smaller (or bigger) canon divergence over a totally alternate universe (unless stated otherwise).

I went all in with crime novels and crime series this year and I do love casefics but I also love friendship fics, fluff, humor, future fics and hurt/comfort… I really love hurt/comfort and will squeal in joy at whatever mention of it ;)

I have to admit that I’m not really much into romance - as the main focus of the fic. But please don’t worry ‘I can’t mention A’s parents because they are married’ or ‘Can I say that after solving the case they’ll finally enjoy the date night?’ - Yes, absolutely, that’s fine. Background romance is fine. I just prefer the fic to be also about something else.

Under every request I’ve added my favourite friendships (and relationships), sometimes even including characters who are not in the tagset so feel free to ignore them.

Though there are some romantic ships and I’d like to clarify that I don’t need romance and kisses in every paragraph of the fic. I’d love to know that my beloved characters are in a relationship or are trying to get together but feel free to focus more on my other general likes and genres and tropes and just add this new layer of two characters being in a relationship in smaller measures.

Treats are enabled and welcome ;)

I never see it as a problem in letters of other people so I have never mentioned it but the varying length dedicated to individual requests and the varying number of prompts do not mean I like some fandoms less. I love them all. These are the eight most favourite ones that made it on the list! ;) For some it’s just easy to say: I love canon, please give me more; and elsewhere I have lots of thoughts (looking at you, SEAL Team producers).

Starfall Stories 50

I've left it a while since I did a crosspost for [community profile] rainbowfic, which was because I was doing a very long sequence divided up into five parts and wasn't sure what to do about it now it's complete - it's something like 28k altogether (this is what has been absorbing my whole writing time for four months, when I've had any). Anyway, I've decided I might as well crosspost all the parts at once and move on. People certainly aren't obliged to read any of it, let alone all of it.

Now that the work week includes two office days, it feels like this:

Monday = Monday
Tuesday = Office Monday
Wednesday = Office Friday
Thursday = ????? (THIS DAY SHOULD OBVIOUSLY BE FRIDAY; THAT'S THE PATTERN)
Friday = Friday

Somehow, it is not Friday?!?!?!? Tomorrow is Friday?!?!?!?! Inconceivable.

ST:TOS Drabble

Musical Duel or read at Ad Astra (100 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Spock (Star Trek), Nyota Uhura
Additional Tags: Drabble
Summary:

Just a friendly improv session






Uhura smiled mischievously, and Spock let an eyebrow rise at the look. She shifted the tempo of the song she was playing on the dulcimer, and he adjusted his own on the Vulcan harp. The crew that were enjoying the musical duel-duet smiled approvingly.

The idea of it had settled into Spock's mind as a game. He played a few more measures, then changed the harmony, making Uhura adjust to him.

Back and forth they went, with encouragement from the crew, while Spock found himself rising to the challenge and Uhura enjoying it.

They were both winners in the end.

Stolen from a few of you.

Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for [starting] a fic title? One fic per line, ‘A’ and 'The’ do not count for 'a’ and ’t’. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count.

A — And The World Has Changed So Much Since You've Been Gone (Yellowjackets, Jeff. I really want to see this in canon)
B — Be Devil May Care, Fulfil Your Dream (The Way Home. My newest show)
C — Caught Somewhere In Time (Dark. This is the one I've been agonising over for ages because it's taking me towards an ending I started this trying to avoid. Moral of the story is to never mess with a timeline as complicated as Dark's.)
D — Dominic Cummings's Leaving Present (Real cat fiction, Larry the Cat. These got me through lockdowns)
E — Everything That's Broke, Leave It to The Breeze (Sweet Valley High, Bruce/Amy. Because this loose end needed tying up)
F — Five People Sawyer Visited Off-Island In The 1970s (Lost. Because obviously he would have.)
G — Got A Secret, Can You Keep It (Control Z)
H — Heavenly Hosts Sing Alleluia (Doctor Who. A sequel to Voyage of the Damned)
I — In Violet's Place (Light as a Feather. I'm actually revisiting this for spook_me)
J — Just To Get It All Out What's In My Head (Yellowjackets, Taissa/Van)
K — Knock, Knock, Knocking On Heaven's Door (The Haunting of Hill House)
L — Loophole (Lost/From crossover. Because what better punishment for Smokey McSmokeFace than trapping him in the From town with those things?)
M — Maybe, You're Gonna Be The One That Saves Me (Being Human UK/Lost crossover. Because Mitchell and Charlie had their common ground and they needed to meet.)
N — No One Here Is Free (From, the history of Colony House, written for sunshine_revival prompt to write a house's POV)
O — Our Lives Will Change When Tomorrow Comes, Tonight Our Hearts Drown the Distant Drums (Lost, Desmond/Sayid, my ultimate OTP)
P — Please Don't Bother Trying To Find Her, She's Not There (School Spirits, Simon, a S2 prediction before it aired).
Q — Q is for Quiet (Pretty Little Liars, Bethany. Part of a series.)
R — Reverse Flashpoint (The Flash. This is the hill I will die on. Eobard should have manipulated Nora into giving Barry the cure, and Cicada could have been skipped altogether.)
S — Sing With Me The Songs We Knew (Hunger Games-verse, Haymitch)
T — The Thunder Cracks, And The Sea Is Rolling (The Wilds. Because the Twilight of Adam group deserve some love.)
U — Uncomfortably Numb (Lost, Locke)
V — V is for Vengeance (Pretty Little Liars, Charlotte).
W — Will The World Remember You When You Fall, Could It Be Your Death Means Nothing At All? (Hunger Games, Chaff and Haymitch the night before the Quarter Quell. A personal favourite)
X — X is for X-ray (Pretty Little Liars, Wren. From what I remember, it did take me a while to come up with an X at the time.)
Y — You're Brand New, The Power of Death Couldn't Hold You (School Spirits, Maddie)
Z — Zelena Street (Once Upon a Time, Zelena. Inspired by a real trip to Bratislava)


So, I managed it. Having said that, back in 2014 I did set out to write an alphabet series (titles in the same format as Sue Grafton's alphabet series, which I've read most of and planning to finish over the next few weeks). She didn't end up making it to Z, I did. So I did end up using that series for three letters (I was a bit surprised that one of them ended up being V because I didn't think that was obscure. I think I need to go back to cross posting my old Lost fics to AO3 where they'll be easier to find, I still have a lot that haven't been done.)

Quite a few of these are from the Ultimate Top Five (Lost, Dark, From, Yellowjackets and School Spirits) but some from others as well.

Dear Yuletide Writer

First, I would like to say thank you for the time and effort that you are willing to put into creating for me! Length of fandom sections or the order the fandoms are in do not indicate how much I want fic for any given fandom; I would be absolutely delighted to receive fic in any of the fandoms I asked for. I've tried to provide some details on the sorts of things I like (and don't) and give prompts for each of my fandoms/characters!

workaday Wednesday

OH BOY after the rest of the team all had their one on one meetings with the new executive in charge of our department, today it's my turn! ::weak celebratory wave::

(I don't know their title, because I genuinely can't keep track of the random titles the company assigns -- there's "my team" and "my boss" and then there's "people I try not to be noticed by.")

Anyway, I am nervous, because that's pretty much a constant state of existence for me, but I think it's pretty unlikely that anything I do or say will have much of an impact on any decisions that will be made. Which is a relief, I guess? But I will definitely be trying to NOT SAY ANYTHING OFF THE CUFF. (Trying to connect with others through humor! My greatest workplace weakness!)

And, just so that I absolutely will NOT say this in the meeting, I'll get it out in writing first: The last person I trusted in that role was SEVEN transitions back (depending on how you count the 'interim' people), which SURE IS SOMETHING.

Music Tuesday

THIS SONG! Hoo boy, I've been looking for an anthem for the hellscape we're in right now and I think this is the one.

“The song is my way of saying to these men that you have more in common with me, you have more in common with everyday women than the billionaires and the manosphere ‘role models’ that you idolize and uplift with no reward,” Paloma said in a previewing video on Instagram. “Not even a ‘well done’ or a ‘good boy.’”

21/26! I am surprised I didn't have a fic with the letter "K" but I did find out that I had two fics with the exact same title! Whoops. I also seem to have a lot of fics that start with "i" or variations of that, which I didn't realize until I saw it laid out like that. Also I was reminded how I have written 1/3 of the Clark/Oliver tag on AO3, which is kinda fun. Someone left a comment on one of my fics a couple of months ago (after going through a lot of them) and was like "you are holding the Clark/Oliver tag down" (paraphrasing), which was not something I expected to hear in 2025 but I do love it. :D

Here's the meme for anyone who is interested!

Doctor Who: "The Time Warrior"

So today's "first" is Sontarans and Sarah Jane Smith.

They really went for competent, feisty, and full of gumption off the bat with Sarah, didn't they?

Linx was an interesting introduction to the Sontarans, actually.

Irongron is a pill of a brute of a villain, but I really liked Eleanor of the other castle.

This is the best line: "Is this Doctor a long shank rascal with a mighty nose?" and sums up the Third Doctor well.

Deep Space Nine Drabble

Testing, Always or read at Ad Astra (100 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Elim Garak, Julian Bashir
Additional Tags: Drabble
Summary:

Someday, Julian will avoid the test






Julian did his best to ignore Garak with his unblinking stare, focusing on his own meal. Surely he could be patient enough to let Garak come to his conclusions and speak first.

It couldn't be that hard to ignore the pointed behavior.

Really.

"Alright, what is it? Denebian spots on my face today?" Julian demanded when he still had at least five bites left of the salad.

Garak smiled. "A new record for you, my dear doctor," he said, and Julian flushed as that made it another psychological test.

"Someday, I will make it a full meal."

Garak laughed skeptically.
