Yuletide Letter 2021

I am Nimbostratus on AO3!

Thank you for writing for me! I've included the dynamics I like most / some suggestions but I love all these characters a LOT so anything you write about them will make me happy.

General likes: slow burn, femslash, female friendships, women being good at their jobs, friends to lovers, getting together, character study, oblivious lesbian, five times fic, soulmates AU, apocalypse, backstory, fake relationship, accidentally married, jealousy, ladies with anger issues, dealing with past trauma, ptsd / implied ptsd, using first names to demonstrate intimacy, friends find out they're dating, secret relationship, getting caught in a secret relationship, accidentally dating.

Veep - Amy Brookheimer

DNW: degradation, non/dubcon, D/s, safewords, non-canonical character death.

I'm really interested in her relationships with Dan and Selina, romantic or otherwise, and I like when its acknowledged that Amy is good at her job. I also like the ensemble in general being a bunch of useless assholes.

I would be interested in something that digs into why she's stuck it out working for Selina for so long. Doesn't have to be romantic but could be e.g. she's secretly in love with Selina / secretly sleeping with her / slept with her years ago and never got over it.

I don't like the later season dynamic where Amy is suddenly pining over Dan and being humiliated/ pathetic. I would be interested in canon-divergence in their relationship in S6/7 - secret friendship, secret relationship, friends with benefits, fake dating, post-canon they end up working together etc.

Line of Duty - Joanne Davidson & Kate Fleming

DNW: degradation, D/s, safewords, non/dubcon - reference to past abuse fine but no graphic details please, non-canonical character death, setting change AU, pregnancy, kidfic, graphic depictions of self harm.

I’m still obsessed with the dynamic between these two. Some stuff I like:

Kate pushing Jo to tell her the truth & Jo trying to resist but finding it hard because she likes Kate so much, acknowledgment that Jo has done a lot of bad things and Kate is right to be angry with her, Kate wrestling with why she believed Jo despite all evidence to the contrary, Jo struggling with guilt/self-loathing, Steve confronting Kate about the way she acted about Jo, Kate processing her feelings post S6, post S6 reunion, "what if" moments where Jo could have told Kate what was going on, how they became so close pre-s6 with bonus Lomax & Farida team bonding, what if they had got away the night Ryan died, dark!Jo, both manipulating each other but catching feelings etc.

I put setting change AUs in my DNW but I would read an X-Files AU.

The Americans - Elizabeth Jennings

DNW: degradation, non/dubcon - reference to past abuse fine but no graphic details please, D/s, safewords, non-canonical character death, setting change AUs, PWP.

I would be happy with any sort of Elizabeth focused story! Character study, pre-canon - why she joined the KGB or her early relationship with Philip, post-canon settling into Russia with Philip or even seeing Paige again way in the future, case-fic type set during/pre-series when she works with Philip.

Relationships between Elizabeth and Philip, Paige, other women, her dedication to ~ the cause above all else. Interested in exploring her sense of guilt about the things that she's done but ultimately feels were worth it in pursuit of the cause (or does she start feeling disillusioned once they get back to Russia???).

This Way Up - Charlotte & Shona

DNW: degradation, non/dubcon, D/s, safewords, character death, historical AUs.

I was disappointed in the lack of Charlotte / Shona in S2! I would like to see more of them post-kiss, during the affair, what happens post voice mail, "what if" they met / got together earlier.

A focus on Shona understanding her lack of commitment to Vish / previous BFs as a sign that she's a lesbian, moments in her life when she should've realised she was gay etc. where Charlotte is involved but not the main focus would also be great.

The Expanse - Camina Drummer

DNW: degradation, non/dubcon, D/s, safewords, non-canonical character death, setting change AUs, pregnancy, kidfic.

Any sort of character study including pre-canon backstory, something that involves a load of Belter culture / political world building (in awe of the world building on this show!!!), Drummer being extremely competent & badass, focus on her relationships with Oksana and / or Naomi, seeing Naomi again for the first time, rebuilding her relationship with Oksana, how she met Oksana in the first place etc. Only really interested in other members of the polycule as they relate to Drummer.
