dear yuletide writer

Hello, writer! These are some general ideas and things I like. If you're really not feeling my prompts, I'd rather you write something you're excited about. I'm hard to squick and easy to please.

AO3 name: darkrosaleen

LIKES: complex characters, unhealthy relationships, codependency, hurt/comfort, weird or dangerous magic, darkfic, domestic fic, humor, shenanigans, personality clashes, historical AUs, happy endings, unhappy endings, violence, cuddling

KINKS: rough sex, bad decision sex, blood/pain/bruise play, dominant men, submissive men, uniforms, abuse of power, obedience, loyalty, genderfuck (including exaggerated heteronormativity), infidelity, dirty talk

1. HIP HOP RPF (Beyonce Knowles, Jay-Z)

I'd love something set in the courtship phase, when Beyonce was just breaking into a solo career and they were flirting all over "Crazy in Love." Or something based on the sexier moments of Beyonce - there were some seriously kinky undercurrents to that album. How does a woman as publicly feminist as Beyonce handle the fact that she wants her man to punish her ("Rocket") or slap her ("Haunted") or come on her dress ("Partition")? I would love smut, but I'd go for something sweet too. I just love how much they respect and adore each other, and how their strong personalities work together.


2. RAVEN CYCLE (Niall Lynch)

He's such a fascinating character and I doubt the books are going to give me enough background on him. What was he like as a teenager or a young man, living in war-torn Northern Ireland with the ability to magic things out of his dreams? What was his courtship with Aurora like - did he create her, or did he find her in a dream and fall in love? What were the Lynch brothers like as kids? Anything about the Lynch family would be an awesome gift. Niall's such a sexy scoundrel that you can't really go too dark.

Also, I didn't request them, but I totally wouldn't say no to some Declan/Ronan. Or Niall/Ronan, eek. I like my incest filthy and fucked up and have no problem with fictional abuse.

Edit for non-spoilery BLLB requests: I'm totally fine with Greenmantle, Piper (Greenmantle AND Piper?) or Dean making a scary/sexy/violent appearance. 


3. ULTRAVIOLENCE RPF (Lana Del Rey, Dan Auerbach)

See my primer for more ideas. Like with Bey and Jay, I'm interested in how such strong personalities come together creatively and romantically. That said, I would also love a fifties AU or B-movie AU or any kind of AU that plays with their shared retro sensibilities. Or maybe something based on either of their music videos? Infidelity or domestic BDSM could be really hot, or just something where they're awkward and cute around each other. Feel free to include Patrick Carney (or ~include Patrick Carney, if the spirit moves you). Maybe he sets them up? Maybe it's a high school AU and Lana is way out of Dan's league? There's no fic for this pairing, so go nuts.

Why you should request Ultraviolence RPF for Yuletide

Do you like sexy music and sexy musicians? Do you like strong creative personalities who respect and inspire each other? Do you like sultry vixens and scruffy garage rockers? If so, I have just the pairing for you.

This is Lana Del Rey:

"" (Watch on YouTube)

A singer-songwriter who rocketed to fame in 2012, Lana blends hip hop production, orchestral strings, and morbid romanticism with torch singer desperation and references to mid-century pop culture. She likes older men, heavy makeup, and doomed relationships.

This is Dan Auerbach:

"" (Watch on YouTube)

Dan is the guitarist and lead singer of blues rock band The Black Keys. He recently notched himself a Producer of the Year Grammy. He likes beards, leather jackets, and quietly smoldering with his guitar.

This is Lana Del Rey's latest album, which was produced by Dan Auerbach:

"" (Watch on YouTube)

Ultraviolence is available via Spotify and questionable youtube upload. It's dark and sexy and guitar-heavy and sounds exactly like you'd expect the brain child of Dan and Lana to sound. 

Here are ten reasons why you should request them for Yuletide.
