Dear Yuletide Santa 2009,
Nov. 26th, 2009 10:30 pmSo this is going up pretty late and I apologize. Really I'd just be insanely happy with pretty much anything written in these fandoms.
In general, my kinks are world-building, characters who prove to be more than other people expect/treat them like, bittersweet tones with an edge of hope, fairy tale retellings, and really good anthropology/psychology.
I don't have a lot of squicks. I tend to cringe when characters are embarrassed or humiliated.I'm less interested in sex than character/world/plot development but I don't mind PWPs at all.
Peter S Beagle - The Last Unicorn
I love this story. I'm more familiar with the movie than the book but the whole thing is basically awesome. I love the bittersweetness of it. I love the unicorn who learned a bit of humanity.

Jack Carter
This fandom hits my underestimated/underappreciated character kink pretty hard. Basically, I like stories that show Jack Carter as competant. Not necessarily "smart" the way the scientists around him are, but really, really good at his job. My favorite pairing is Stark/Carter. I have not warmed up to Tess. Zoe is awesome. (Secret fantasy: Carter actually knows something that everything else dismisses as ridiculous--magic exists or something.)
Prince of Persia (2008 game)
BACKSTORY! Especially on the "Prince." He sounds like he led an interesting life before wandering into the desert with a donkey carrying packs filled with treasure.
Terry Pratchett - Nation
I'm not entirely sure what to say here. I like the characters and I'd be happy to see more of them. But I'm also drawn to the alternate history--what events went differently in the world set up by Pratchett before the "present-day" epilogue?.
Thank you!
