2017 Dear Yuletide Letter

Thank you for writing for me! I included specific notes about each fandom in my nomination, so here's a little bit about my general preferences.
I have a very broad range of enjoyment when it comes to stories. I like slash (both dudes and ladies), het and gen. I'm into reading explicit sex if you're into writing it, but all ratings are good. I love relationship stories that show the deepening sense of intimacy between two people, whether it's a romance or a friendship. I also adore plotty stories, casefiles, action/adventure, future fic, backstory, and my great love for fan fiction cliches never dies! I appreciate angst in a story, especially if the source material really calls for it, but I also enjoy when a story ends on a hopeful note.
A few things I'm not really into are: non-con, graphic violence, and gore. I'd prefer not to receive a crossover or totally non-canonical AU.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend:
Nathaniel Plimpton, Paula Proctor, Rebecca Bunch, Valencia Perez
One of the things I enjoyed most about the show's second season was the addition of Nathaniel and the way his relationship has developed with Rebecca. I found the Santa Ana wind ep hot, Nathaniel's arranging for Rebecca's dad to come to her wedding touching, and his smugness about his good deed hilarious. I'd love to see more of these two bantering, matching wits, teaming up to do brilliant legal stuff, working out their various issues, and dealing with the sexual tension between them, whether you choose to resolve it or not. It would be especially interesting to explore what happens in the aftermath of Rebecca being jilted. I included Paula because I <3 Paula, and I really enjoyed how her friendship with Rebecca developed in the second season, becoming more balanced and healthy. I threw in Valencia, because I also really enjoyed how she came into her own as a character in the second season and how her friendship with Rebecca has evolved. If it doesn't feel organic to fit all of these characters into a story, no prob! Something that's centered on Rebecca and Nathaniel would be great.
Life:
Dani Reese, Charlie Crews
I loved this show so much! I rewatch it regularly and still mourn its premature demise. There were so many good things about this series, but my favorite was the partnership between Crews and Reese. I'm a sucker for relationships in which the two people just get each other in a way that no one else does. The trust, the understanding, the respect, the fact that they're smarter, better, stronger together than they are apart. Please give me more of that! A missing scene. A simple moment when we see their closeness. A case file. Or if you really want to make my day, what happened after Charlie got in that mini van and they got back home? Where did their relationship go from there? Could be romantic. Could be platonic. It's all good!
Moonlight:
Chiron, Juan, Kevin, Teresa
I went away from the movie wanting to know more about Teresa, so I'd love a story that's told from her perspective or focused on her. It would be lovely to read about Chiron bringing Kevin to her house for a holiday or Sunday dinner or some other family occasion. But I'd also love to know more about Teresa herself. What were her childhood and coming of age like? How did she meet Juan? What are her hopes and dreams? Please give me more insight into this wonderful woman!
Stuart Dynasty RPF:
Esmé Stewart 1st Duke of Lennox, George Villiers 1st Duke of Buckingham, James I of Great Britain, Robert Carr 1st Earl of Somerset
I would like to read about King James and any or all of his boyfriends. No need to include all of the characters if you prefer to focus on one particular relationship. I'd enjoy something romantic and sexy, or if that's not your thing, some platonic intrigue and adventure would be equally awesome.
