myrtlebroadbeltDear Yuletide Writer,
Thank you so much for writing a story for me! I'm so excited to read whatever you come up with.
I've included some prompts for each of my requested fandoms below, but please don't feel obligated to stick to what I mention here. I'm on AO3![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)

***SPOILER WARNINGS for all fandoms listed below***
Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)
Llewyn Davis
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)
I love so many things about this movie (The music! The cat(s)!), but I especially love the narrative structure, and how it makes it seem like Llewyn is trapped in a time loop. I'd love something that turns the story into an actual time loop. Does Llewyn ever get things right, or is he doomed?
Also please feel free to kill him! I've seen interpretations of the movie as Llewyn's personal purgatory, which would be fun to explore. Then there's the fact that Bud Grossman tells him to get back together with Mike, which would of course involve dying. What's that reunion like in the afterlife? Is Llewyn reincarnated as a cat?
Everything mentioned above is pretty supernatural, but I'm also cool with something more down-to-earth. Does Llewyn ever go to Akron to see Diane? Does he meet Bob Dylan? Something that plays into the movie's many references to The Odyssey would also be cool.
Fargo (TV)
Lorraine Lyon, Danish Graves
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form
I went into Season 5 expecting a lot of things, but shipping these two was not one of them. I love Danish's loyalty to Lorraine and how that's tested throughout the story, and I love that Lorraine basically has zero interactions with her actual husband, but Danish is almost always by her side. They even enter the season together, for Pete's sake!
I'm completely okay with reading about these two having an affair, and I'm a total Wayne Graves truther, so feel free to imply (or outright state) that Danish is his biological father. I'm also cool with them pining for each other but never acting on their feelings, or with them being together in the past but no longer, and the angst that invites.
Would I also be okay with a more supernatural approach in which Lorraine is a witch who put a spell on Danish so that he would always do her bidding? Yes, I absolutely would. This is Fargo, after all.
One thing I'm not really interested in is a fix-it where Danish survives. The tragedy of him dying is part of the appeal of this pairing for me. If you want to write something about Lorraine's grief that doesn't directly feature Danish but is still focused on their relationship, that's cool too. I waive my "all characters" preference in that case.
Black Books (TV)
Bernard Black, Manny Bianco, Fran Katzenjammer
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)
I find myself returning to this series at least once a year. I love how witty and weird it is, and my favorite episodes are the ones that focus on all three main characters together. (“A Nice Change” and “Party” come to mind.) They're a total OT3 for me, but gen fic is also welcome.
Anything that feels like it could be from a lost episode of the show is a win -- the wackier, the better. Time travel? Dream sequences? An event told from each of their different perspectives? Blurring the line between Bernard’s writing and reality? It's all good.
If you do go the shippy route, I would prefer them all together, rather than having one of them as a third wheel. I am also very happy to receive a story themed to the holidays and/or the winter season for this fandom, if you feel so inspired.
Thank you again, and I hope you have a happy Yuletide! ❄️☃️❄️
