Dear Yuletide Author,

I’m glad we matched, and I hope you have fun with your assignment. If you’ve already got an idea of what to write, don’t worry if it doesn’t match any of what I’ve got in my optional details. I am fairly inclusive in my choices, and everything from fluffy gen through screwball comedies and casefic to contemplations and depictions of death and disaster are welcome. I am in no way opposed to graphic depictions of sex and/or violence, but I am also all for saccharine domesticity and romance. Alternate Universes are also very very welcome. My DNW-list is basically no noncanonical deaths (including OCs or other-canon or Real People).

Society of Gentlemen: Dominic Frey, Richard Vane, Harry Vane, Silas Mason
I would love Dominic & Richard's childhood/youth; Harry as a kid with Silas or during the years after his parents' demise; Harry getting comfortable with the ton; Silas' further forays in pamphleteering; Richard coming to terms with Silas because of Dominic & Harry; a night at the club or a stay in Arrandene. I would also be delighted to receive shippy fic for any of them (as explicit or not as you choose), or stories that involve the larger social circle: perhaps a problem in which Silas has to intervene? Also, while I haven't selected Julius or Cyprian, please feel free to include them if you'd like.

Band Sinister: Guy Frisby, Philip Rookwood, John Raven, Lord Corvin
I would like glimpses of the Murder's collective childhood and youthful shenanigans; Raven's career in caricature; Rookwood's scientific experiments; Corvin's deliberate rakery; their domestic arrangements before, during, and after Raven's marriage; Guy Frisby's attempts to cope during Amanda's first season; Frisby/Rookwood post-canon; the Murder's attempts (successes or failures or both) to accommodate Guy; Rookwood's country life. I am equally happy to receive shippy (as explicit as you choose), or gen fic.
While they're not in the list of characters, I would also be happy with stories including Amanda Frisby and David Martelo.

Mahabharata: Bhanumati (Mahabharat), Dushala (Mahabharatha), Gandhari (Mahabharata), Karna (Mahabharata)
I would love stories about the Hastinapuri antarmahal: Gandhari taking the reins after the birth of her sons; Gandhari coping with the Hastinapuri court and councillors; Dushala's childhood and youth as the sole sister among a hundred (and five) brothers; Dushala's marriage and motherhood; Bhanumati's experience of Hastinapuri; Bhanumati and Karna's friendship; Karna's connections with the Kuru women; palace conspiracies, domesticities, hostilities, and the toll of war; the women as survivors of the war; their feelings about their menfolk.
I would also love stories about any or some or all of them interacting with Duryodhana or Shakuni.

The Goblin Emperor: Cala Athmaza, Csevet Aisava, Deret Beshelar, Kiru Athmaza
I would love stories about the Emperor's household in any combination: the mazei training Cala and Kiru received and whether it differs in any way; Csevet's life as a courier; Deret and children; how they're all coming together as the Emperor's dav. I am equally happy to receive shippy (as explicit as you choose) or gen fic.
While they are not in my list, I would also be happy with fic including any of the other characters, especially Maia, Csethiro, Vedero or Arbelan.
ETA: I do not expect all listed characters to be used for any of these fandoms/requests.
