Dear Yuletide Letter 2021
Dearest Yuletide Writer,

Thank you so much for creating something for me! These are all fandoms of my hear and I can assure you be absolutely thrilled about anything you can create about the fandoms and relationships I requested, and everything important is already in the requests themselves and repeated here, but if you'd like more information about what I like and why I like and picked these fandoms, you can find it in this letter.

Yang Wen-li
This request is for the 1988 OVA but I know pretty much all the versions – old anime, Neue These, novels, and both manga adaptations. If there are particular elements you want to use from any of these fuses as you see fit or explain to me how these senses would fit in with the 1988 OVA canon that expanded and editorialized many details from the novels.
The character selection may already be giving it away but, I’m absolutely a Yang Fleet/Free planets girl. But if you want to build a plot that also involves the Empire side and Reinhard and the amazing people he has gathered around himself or involve the political machinations going on in this version of space from (Heinessen to Phezzan and Odin) go right ahead by showing both sides of the greater conflict that is also fine with me. There are no characters you need to avoid.
Any character story piece that gets a bit into Yang’s head would be loved.
I’d especially love Yang's friends, Julian and Frederica to be included in any plot where it makes sense. I love Frederica and her relationship with Yang too, so please be kind to her. Or if you want to explore Katerose and her dad getting to know each other more, that would also be amazing. (Background Julian/Karin also more than welcome. As would be past or unrequitted Dusty/Yang. Jealousy is fine!)
I have an abundance of love for this canon and all the political complications, even though I don’t always agree with Tanaka Yoshiki’s view of humanity or his conclusions. (Constitutional monarchy has not figured it all out, sorry.)
I was always fascinated by how Yang was the brillant, kind person he is who always ended up having to follow paths that he wouldn’t have chosen otherwise. So much in his life was pushed on him by circumstances that were outside of his control or in areas where he wasn’t willing to play the ruthless power games even though he was quite aware of them. There are so many ways his life could have gone differently and even though the tragedy of his end appeals to me too, I’d love to see any way you can find to give him a happier ending. I wish poor Yang had had more luck outside of the job that he was so damn good at even if he never wanted to have it. Anything that at least gives him a chance to decide his own fate or to find a way to live away from it all (would he miss it, maybe?) would be amazing.
I’m a sucker for scenes like Yang having to face the Patriotic Knights Corps, or being detained for the unlawful inquiry, smart tactics like seizing Iserlohn and getting it back later, and all his guerilla tactics. Anything that has them saving each other in some way, any missions where they end up on the run or having to outmaneuver their enemies to get away would be awesome! Hut/Comfort with someone being hurt badly would also fit well with this canon.

Anything focusing on Yang will be loved! I like anything that focuses on him, his backstory, canon divergent AUs or stories dealing with him ad his fleet.
Ships and relationships that I like:
Schönkopf/Yang
Frederica/Yang
Schönkopf/Yang/Frederica
Jessica/Jean Robert Lapp/Yang
Reinhard/Yang
Kircheis/Yang
Reuenthal/Yang
Yang & Julian
Prompts/ideas: Yang lives, being rescued from imprisonment, battlefield wounds, philosophical debates, New Years Celebrations on Iserlohn, making a home in a war zone, unexpected allies, writing your own history, Yang gets to drink tea and read books – and maybe finally study history, Julian’s first days with Yang after the adoption, peace treaties, for once things go Yang’s way and no politician on the home front or Earth cults or anyone turns things on him; A murder mystery on Iserlohn; any sort of mission/battle gone wrong scenario; Yang is trapped somewhere with one other character -friend or foe; flirting to get an emotional response from Yang turns very real, very fast; solving problems with history knowledge
Albert de Morcerf; Count of Monte Cristo; Haydée
If you haven’t seen it but are looking into other things in my requests, this is a 26 episode anime series based on the Count of Monte Cristo novel by Dumas - but with a darker sci-fic twist based on the fact that the Japanese translation of the title is “Gakutsuou” (meaning “cave king”) and a very specific visual aesthetic.
I’m extremely fascinated by the sci-fi elements and if you have ideas for world-buidling around these I would love to see it. There are so many elements from the way data is transmitted and how spaceships work and Haydée is an alien princess - and yet we see something like roaring 20’s Paris with aristocrats and steampunk elements where duels are fought with giant, knightly armors. Anything you want to do to play with these elements or expand on them, or even ideas you have to play on the use of art, music and design in the series - I’d love it!
Albert and the way he’s the focus of this adaptation as the outsider who learns of Edmond’s and the roles the people in his life played in it is my favorite thing. I love how he starts out as a very naive if good hearted boy and ends up growing by learning about other people’s pain (like Valentine’s) and through all he loses. There’s something very fascinating in the way he meets Haydée for the first time and what he thinks of her role in the Count’s life, and in general how he has his big crush on the Count that blinds him to a lot of what's going on. (Poor Franz who has this crush on him in turn and can’t stop any of it…) It always strikes me as tragic how Edmond was brought down by Albert’s father and his friends, and Haydée’s family was destroyed by them - and then in turn they first meet Albert who crushes on hem immediately and then the Count destroyed nearly everything in Albert’s life and Haydée is the catalyst to bring down his dad. (In all the versions it strikes me how poor Mercedes is dealt THE WORST HAND - none of this is her fault and yet she loses twice… If you want to reflect on that feel free...)
I’d like to see all three deal with their feelings of guilt and find ways to live with them and each other - this could be good and healthy or dark and complicated. I’m fine with either.
This adaption certainly didn’t shy away from going the darker routes of the revenge plot and human tragedy - from Gankutusou beng this vengeful cold being taking over Edmond and him not getting the happily ever after to Franz sacrificing himself to Morcerf shooting both Mercedes and Albert “he loves them” etc. One of my favorite scenes is Albert begging his father to spare Haydee and then Fernand begging for Albert’s and everything going to hell to the point where Gakutsuou takes over and despite everything Albert tries to save him.
If you want to explore in that vein.

I've recently watched the play based on the anime and it brought back my fascination and all the questions I had for the setting of this adaption
Ships and relationships that I like or would be fine to see:
canon relationships
Count/Albert
Count/Haydée
Count/Albert/Haydée
Haydée/Albert
Background or the canonically unrequited Franz/Albert would be fine with me too. I adore the tragedy of it all.
Prompts/ideas: Anything involving Albert or Albert & Haydée finding a way to free Edmond of Gankutsuou without him dying, Gankutsuou as a being that gets passed on to other people gets passed on to Albert - Edmond lives or not?; Post canon Albert travels space and later time; Albert and Haydée grief together; exploration of this world's space travel and alien races and how it shaped or reflects on human society and on the events we and characters we know; anything where the revenge plot takes a dirty-bad-wrong shape and the Count tries to corrupt Albert with sex games and grooming; what f he really was a vampire?; Haydée and Albert take Edmond away to a far away planet where they live together - revenge plot abandoned and without Albert even knowing about it - will ghosts come to haunt anyway? Will his friends think he needs rescuing?
If you were to go with a version of events where Albert feels guilt over Franz's death and that actually leads to a fucked up relationship with the Count who is more Gankutsuou than Edmond at that point I'd be fine with it too. (After all Franz told him not to hate anyone in his letter, right?); Gankutusuou is dead and so is Edmond - but he has become an entity living among the stars and in their dreams; part of his revenge isn't just breaking up Albert's engagement but to force him into an arranged marriage or whatever Easter Space equivalents of it you can think of
For everything involving sex I'd prefer it to be a bit after canon though where Albert is an adult rather than turning sixteen.
Char/Amuro
Char/Amuro/Lalah
I’m fascinated by Newtype powers and love that Amuro defies expectation as an Earthnoid - and that Lalah, also born on Earth, is another equally powerful Newtype. I wonder what that says about all the theories of Zeon that new humanity develops in space?
Amuro really is one of my all time faces and I would have loved his PTSD to be explored even more - and honestly I would have loved him to survive and mourn Char - even though quite honestly them dying together meets quite a few of my narrative kinks. There’s so much here to explore - the seven years between MSG and Zeta, canon divergence where he and Char get to work together more, where he goes to space with “Quattro” after all - anything really. How would that change things for them and for Kamille? Or any AU that spins out of Origins - their mother comes with them, they get groomed by the Zabis, they get to stay in Spain and everyone forgets about them - what would that mean for “Edouard” who never meets a Char. Does he end up in space or going to Zeon anyway or does he end up with Sayla on Side 7? I admit I enjoy Char’s darker side and his archnemisis qualities - but I also like it when he shows that he cares and that he's just very much broken in too many ways to ever live a normal life. He does try to mentor Kamille, he does try to get Amuro to come with him, he really cared for Lalah or her death wouldn’t have meant so much - and he did try to get Sayla to leave White Base to be safe…
Char is just one of the best and most complicated antagonists and Zeta he is turned protagonist and mentor and even sort of an uneasy ally to Amuro - at the same time he really is an ass. He manipulates people until everything falls in place for him and his on plans - and he has so many reasons to want revenge, to want to shape a new world - to even think he’s entitled to - but at the same time he had so many chances to stop, to stop fighting and hating or making Amuro his forever rival. It’s funny that Newtypes could in theros communicate so much better and yet he never understands Amuro fully even though the one canon where they get really, really close is Zeta. Take all that and turn it into a bit of a possessive streak that makes him realize he really wants something from Amuro that isn’t fighting and I’m all there...
And, Kamille…. Talk about a troubled young man. He starts out so very much a brat and then sees so much suffering and is often treated shittily by adults (which very much is supposed to be a “grow up this is war thing” but comes across like violent and abusive :P) on his way to become an amazing Gundam pilot and strong Newtype. I always felt he got a really bad deal with all of this and the ending he gets is really bleak. I’d love to see more of Char and Amuro mentoring him and helping him to don’t repeat their mistakes. I’d love anything - maybe Amuro’s involvement saving him for his fate in that fight against. A better ending with Four would also be very appreciated.
Time travel in this fandom for added angst and discovery about backstories would be loved too.
Crossovers with GinEiDen would also be cool!
From sign up
Ships and relationships that I like:
Char/Amuro is my fave
Kamille/Amuro would also be interesting
Char/Amuro/Kamille would also work
I'm okay with a bit of one-sidedness in either of those
I'd also be okay with Amuro/Beltorchika and Kamille/Fa, Kamille/Four and anything that deals with memories of Lalah in a Lalah/Amuro, Lalah/Char or Lalah/Char/Amuro dynamic.
I'd prefer Kamille to be aged up for anything involving sex.
I also nominated Emma and would love to see her around because I love her to pieces.
Prompts/ideas: anything that deals with Amuro going to space with char after all; interactions between Amuro and Kamille, bonding over the similarities of the fate of Four and Lalah, generally I'd love for Amuro to be there when they face their two big enemies in space, helping Kamille to get through that last fight unharmed, mentoring Kamille together, Char and Amuro having more interactions and dealing with their feelings, exploring the things that Amuro experienced wen trapped in his state of house arrest; learning more about each other;
Amuro is kept under house arrest in his fancy home in Cheyenne, isolated from friends and the rest of the world, the army pulling him in as Newtype guinea pig now and then. Char learns about it years before Zeta Gundam and doesn’t even know why he feels compelled to chec up on him. (Obviously someone has to make Amuro run away for his own good.)
this is my very first proper Yuletide and I’m very excited for this exchange! I’m wibbling with excitement! (≧◡≦) ♡♡♡♡

Amuro is kept under house arrest in his fancy home in Cheyenne, isolated from friends and the rest of the world, the army pulling him in as Newtype guinea pig now and then. Char learns about it years before Zeta Gundam and doesn’t even know why he feels compelled to chec up on him. (Obviously someone has to make Amuro run away for his own good.)
