Graceling Realm Series - Kristin Cashore
Any
Just a small sample of combinations of characters I love... Bitterblue & Katsa, or Bitterblue & Po – I love their big/little sibling dynamic. Katsa/Po, having their wild, glorious, adventurous mostly-shared life, where they go their separate ways, do their separate good works, but always find their way back to each other. I am a big sap for Giddon's undying devotion to Bitterblue. :-) Fire and Brigan (and Hanna) and the peaceful, loving, strong family space Fire has determinedly carved out for herself out of so much adversity. Raffin/Bann? Giddon/Po? More in my letter!
DNW: Major character death, non-con/dub-con, or graphic violence. Death, cancer, loss of a loved one.
Yes, I'm open to treats!

Darius the Great Series - Adib Khorram
Any
Sohrab is going to be in Canada? He and Darius will be able to visit?? I'm especially interested in the unexpected ways it might change their friendship. Are there some hurdles to overcome on the way to finding a new (and even better?) way to be friends. Or: what does Darius decide to do next? He's pretty definite about not-college, so what might he do instead? All the characters here are great, so if you want to explore the relationships between Darius and his dad, his mom, or Laleh, go for it! More in my letter!

Seraphina Series - Rachel Hartman
Any
Orma and Seraphina, their awkward, dragon-ish, and yet ultimately very loving bond; how Orma looks out for Seraphina even though he doesn't entirely understand her. Seraphina and Tess! Fumbling to get to know each other after having had massively different experiences of their (somewhat) shared childhood. Seraphina/Kiggs/Glisselda: the dynamics of this relationship, what kind of day-to-day life the three of them build for themselves. Spira/Hami – what does life end up being like for this unexpected and yet incredibly sweet pairing? Or just explore more this fascinating world: the cultural differences between dragons and humans. Dragons and quigutl. Quigutl and humans. Sabak? More in my letter!

Call Me By Your Name (2017)
Any
Elio/Oliver: during that summer, the longing before they confess their feelings, the stolen moments once they’ve come together, the bittersweetness as the summer rushes to its close; or give me the story of after – do they stay together? do they find each other again 20 years later? or something in between?I'm appreciative of fics that work through all the obstacles they face; if you can bring them back together in a way that feels earned, I'd love that.
I also love Elio's parents, and love seeing their dynamic with Elio, or with Oliver.
Or a fic that involves Judaism being an important point of connection between them. Celebrating a holiday or tradition together? Sharing favorite family foods? Discovering unexpected differences between the traditions they grew up with (Oliver in the US, Elio in Italy)? Or anything else that acknowledges their Jewishness as a shared identity, something that draws Elio toward Oliver.
More in my letter!

London Calling Series - Alexis Hall
Any
I fell so hard for this series – how Luc and Oliver are both complicated characters trying really hard to do better. How the plot arc of their romance isn't about overcoming arbitrary external obstacles; it's about the two of them learning about themselves as people, recognizing their issues and working on them, and how that individual stuff intersects with their attempts to have a functional relationship together.
For me, these books strike the perfect balance of treating the characters and their relationship really earnestly and honestly, but also having the off-the-wall marvelous ridiculousness of the supporting characters. Show me Alex Twaddle being his marvelously ridiculous self. Or Odile being her marvelously ridiculous self. Or any of the other supporting characters, frankly.
Just tell me more about these wonderful, ridiculous, yet somehow real and sympathetic characters. More in my letter!

John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme
Any
I will never say no to a "Since You Ask Me..." tale! I love the virtuosic wordplay and unrepentant silliness. And though I see "Finnemore | The Storyteller" is the only character nominated, I'm up for any characters or sketch you want to riff on. (The goldfish and King Neptune? The animal designers, with their personal life crises bleeding into their work? More animal interviews? Catching up with the proprietor of the "slightly off" ice cream van ten years later? Or play around with the brilliant structure and entwining story threads of Series 9!) I love John Finnemore's writing, with its combination of humor and kindness, and I'm basically just a fan of everything. So pick your favorite corner of this sprawling 9-series show and take this as carte blanche to have fun!
