Yuletide 2025

[pent]

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Thank you so much for creating something for me! I've been in fandom for decades, but this is my very first time participating in Yuletide, so I'm very excited. My AO3 username is Pent, and treats are always welcome.

I'm signed up for Crueltide, if you're into that!

Requested Fandoms

Berserk

Characters: Griffith, Guts (...and whoever else you want!)

Request: I've only read the manga. The Golden Age arc is my favorite, so I would love something set during that! And as another bonus, since the manga follows Guts, it would be interesting to see the full extent of Griffith's obsession with power. I'm sure his schemes ran deeper than anyone could ever imagine. I would love a fic that focuses on the Band of the Hawk taking on a commission together.

Likes: Judeau, jealousy, toxic relationships, political drama, canon worldbuilding, Griffith/Guts, the Band of the Hawk hanging out and having a good time at the tavern <3 while they still can

DNW: Well, it's Berserk. Go nuts. Any themes and horrors that happen in the canon are fair game. If rape is involved, please don't frame it to be sexy.

Shoujo Kakumei Utena

Characters: Saionji Kyouichi, Shinohara Wakaba, Kiryuu Touga, Kiryuu Nanami (...anyone else who would be interesting!)

Request: I've only seen the anime. I would love something Saionji-centric. Every character in Utena is fascinating, and Saionji is one of my favorites. I think he has really interesting dynamics with other characters, especially Wakaba and Touga.

Are Saionji and Wakaba friends? I absolutely love Wakaba as well and would love to explore their friendship. Why is Wakaba, the most "normal" student at the school, attracted to Saionji, who -- unbeknownst to her -- is an abusive monster? There's a lot to explore here. Perhaps rooming with Wakaba was Saionji's first glimpse at an ordinary relationship.

What are Saionji and Touga doing during the last arc of the show? How did they manage to distance themselves from Akio? (Can someone please talk to Nanami?!)

tl;dr: Psychoanalyze Saionji

Likes: Abstract narrative with lots of metaphors, toxic Saionji/Touga, toxic Saionji/anyone; the boy is toxic (that's why his hair is green), the shadow girls, the ever-present looming threat of Anthy Akio

DNW: If rape is involved, please don't frame it to be sexy.

Dragon Quest XI

Characters: Sylvando (...and whoever else you want, if they fit your story!)

Request: I love Sylvando! I want a Sylvando-centric fic. There's so much that has gone on in Sylvando's life that would be interesting to focus on: his time in the circus, his bad relationship with his father, missing scenes from the canon... I'm open to anything at all that focuses on Sylvando! Go wild!

Likes: Character study, Mute or Deaf Luminary, Sylvando/Dave, Sylvando's dad being homophobic

DNW: Underage Sex. If rape is involved, please don't frame it to be sexy.
