Words of Wood

Hello! Welcome to my letter.

General likes: Hurt/comfort (this is my fave genre), team feels, characters supporting each other, episode tags/missing scenes

Dislike: Pure fluff, sex scenes (fade-to-black is my preference!), AU settings (all the canons below I feel are really strongly tied to their setting)

Specific fandoms:

Wolf 359
Isabel Lovelace & Renée Minkowski, Mr. Koudelka/Renée Minkowski, Isabel Lovelace/Renée Minkowski, Hera & Renée Minkowski, Hera & Isabel Lovelace, Doug Eiffel & Hera

As you can possibly guess, Minkowski and Lovelace are my favourite characters. I love how they've gone from suspicion to absolute trust and will each risk themselves to save the other. I also love Hera and the relationships she has with the crew.
I'm very fond of the early season 4 dynamic between all four main characters, and also definitely subscribe to the opinion that all of them are living together in a house on Earth post-finale.

Fic-wise, I'd love either something dealing with a slice of daily wtf/peril on the Hephaestus, or something back on Earth of characters adjusting or failing to do so. (You'd be welcome to include Jacobi in this if you wanted!)

October Daye
October "Toby" Daye/Tybalt, Raj/Quentin Sollys, Dean Lorden/Quentin Sollys, Bridget Ames/Etienne, October "Toby" Daye & The Luideag, Quentin Sollys & Raj, Dianda Lorden & October Daye, Raj & Tybalt, Raj & Quentin Sollys, Quentin Sollys & Tybalt, Quentin Sollys & October "Toby" Daye, Chelsea Ames/Raj

This is a canon where I actually *am* interested in seeing what more normal daily life is like for the characters, especially since we see most of them purely through Toby's eyes while some crisis is going on. Especially with the human/&fae character combinations, I love stuff where one of them introduces the other to a cultural thing that's very normal to one and completely bizarre to the other, and I guess this also works with fae characters who each come from very different backgrounds.

The Old Kingdom
Lirael & Sabriel, Ellimere & Sabriel, Lirael & Sameth, Ferin & Lirael, Ellimere & Sabriel & Sameth & Touchstone, Lirael & Mogget

I'm really interested in the workings of Sabriel's family, and also how Lireal learns to fit into both it and her new role (and how they adapt to her appearance, new expectations for Sam, etc). Something set before Goldenhand, while everyone's still getting used to it all, would be lovely. Or something set not long after Goldenhand and dealing with events from there, including now Ferin's experiences settling in.
I didn't list Nick in the tags, but I'm not at all averse to him being included.

-

Vorkosigan
Simon Illyan/Aral Vorkosigan/Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan, Simon Illyan & Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan

In this fandom I am all about the relationship between Cordelia & Illyan (gen or part of OT3), and hurt/comfort for Illyan. I have a definite preference for fics set during the regency. I also really like Alys, so feel free to include her (as friendship or preship) if you want!

Sunless Sea
Anything dark and atmospheric, using whichever characters you like (or even no characters at all) would be wonderful. I feel this game is so much about the whole experience and the atmosphere and the setting, while all the characters are so open to interpretation, that I don't really hold any particular "canon" in my head and just love seeing other people share what they get out of this game.
(I really hope this isn't so loose as to be completely unhelpful...)

Signal boost for all interested parties: aftertheendtimes is now open for business!

This is a community for fans of all of Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant's series: Newsflesh, October Daye, InCryptid, and all shorter works. It's a place for discussions as well as posting any and all fic/art/meta/etc. I believe there's going to be an upcoming read-along of Newsflesh, to commemerate the in-universe date for the Rising. (You may wish to avoid the SDCC this year...)

Anyway, come say hi :)
