dear yuletide letter

acerbictomes Okay, before my computer crashes yet again, let's see if I can't finish my Yuletide letter. Sorry it's so late! And short D: . I will make this fancier and more eloquent once I've posted it, promise!
First: If you like the fandoms I like, you have excellent taste already. A++! Optional details are optional, especially because this letter is so late, and if you don't need any prompting, feel free to write whatever!
General likes and dislikes: I really like AUs and worldbuilding and character development, but I'd prefer not to read explicit torture, noncon, scat, vore or watersports... mostly because I'm a wimp, haha.
Archer
I ship Archer/Lana massively, but gen or shipping them with anyone else is fine, too! Archer's the kind of show where basically any dynamic can be hilarious, so feel free to write anything! I really like the funny juxtaposition between super dangerous spy stuff and petty office stuff, but if you want to go dramatic, I'm really interested in seeing that tonal shift!
Some prompts: the company softball game versus ODIN, Archer and Lana duking it out over fridge space in the break room, an AU where Archer was raised by Nikolai Jakov, an AU where Lana actually took that job at ODIN, or maybe a flashback to Archer and Lana's relationship!
Sungkyunkwan Scandal
I really like the wacky tropey elements here, like Moon Jae Shin's ridiculous double life as the Scarlet Pamphleteer and how Yong Ha seems to know everything and Yoon Hee's apparent eidetic memory and Cho Seon's secret ninja skills (lol wtf). I also really like how the show fused modern day college things with ancient history things, too, like the random archery contest and pranks.
Some prompts: futurefic where everyone is secretly either a politician or a spy, an AU where they're all Ocean's Eleven style thieves headed by Yong Ha, a modern Korea AU (pop stars? law students? WHO KNOWS) or the one where everyone gets a masked identity, not just Moon Jae Shin.
Disney Princesses
I'd like these characters to interact. Maybe have some meet, maybe have all of them meet... I'd also really like femslash, but otherwise go with canon pairings or no pairings at all. When I was a kid, I made my kindergarten teacher call me Mulan, but I love all these characters pretty much equally. Maybe it's just that I look the most like Mulan, :P.
Some prompts: the other princesses start hanging out at Tiana's Palace and eating her food and getting into hijinks, Belle is a librarian in a generic fantasy AU ("the library between worrrrrrrrlds), Mulan gets sent on a diplomatic mission and ends up meeting a friend, or maybe Merida decides to see the world after one of her brothers gets married and starts begetting heirs. A space AU where Tiana runs an intergalactic restaurant would be amazing, or a college AU where Merida's an archery champ, but not so good at academics, and all the other characters are TAs, or a superhero AU where Mulan's the most put-upon vigilante in the city.
Cucumber Quest
If you're the one who nominated this, then you are my hero! I really love Peridot and Almond, especially Almond's knightly heroism. One caveat, though: if you're going to write smut, can you age them up a little?
Some prompts: futurefic where Almond is an actual knight, or a fic where Almond and Peridot were raised in different kingdoms (like, the Ripple Kingdom, for example) or a fic where they get lost while fighting and have to try and find their way back to the boss battle so they can rejoin it properly. An AU where Almond was the witch and Peridot the hero would be fun, too!
Motorcity
Wow, do I miss this show! Texas was always my favorite, just 'cause he's the funniest, but Foxy's amazing, too. Shipwise, I ship Texas with basically everyone, but Foxy with Claire. I really like the world of Motorcity... I think amazing weird cyberpunk Detroit is one of the best settings ever, LOL.
Some prompts: Texas and Foxy before the Burners: would they have been left alone by Kane? Was Texas in a different gang? Maybe a fic about Foxy showing Claire the coolest parts of the city, or Texas and the Burners trying to find out what's outside Detroit, or futurefic after people've overthrown Kane and the city below and city above have to integrate.
Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant
I think Delilah/Selim is super cute, but if you want to keep it platonic, that's fine by me too! As long as they're hanging out and having amazing adventures together, that'd be swell.
Some prompts: a modern AU where Selim runs a teashop, the five meals Selim made for Delilah, that one time they went to meet the parents, the legends people tell about them after they're gone. Epistolary fic especially would be aces!
Anyway, that's about it! Thanks for being here, and have a great Yuletide!
