Yuletide letter

Dear Yuletide Author,
I have no DNWs.
I hope you write the story of your heart for whatever fandom we've matched on. Anything goes. If you want to write a crossover, that's fine with me. If you want to write an AU or mpreg or wingfic or character death or infidelity or whatever, go for it. I'm equally happy with gen, slash, het, or femslash. I'm equally happy with rated g and explicit. I have chosen any character for all these fandoms, so write about whoever you'd like, and feel free to include characters not mentioned in the tag set.
I'm going to tell you some of the things I like about these canons and give you some suggestions for things you might write about, but the bottom line is that I think of Yuletide as an opportunity for a writer to explore the smaller fandoms of their heart with a guaranteed audience, and I will be thrilled with whatever you want to write for me.
Moths
Here's the post I made about Moths and why everyone should read it.
The characters in the tag set this year are Fuschia, Jeanne, Correze, and Vere.
In terms of prompts, I would love to see any and all iterations of Vere and Correze living happily ever after. If you want to go the dark fic route, Zouroff sexually menacing Vere is prime real estate. I would love to see Fuschia and/or Nadine interacting with Vere and being her friend after the divorce. I think Nadine/Fuschia could be really interesting. And I am super interested in what Jeanne's life is like after the novel's close, once she's "won."
Coldfire Trilogy
The characters in the tag set are Damien Vyrce and Gerald Tarrant.
I just reread this series in 2021, and it's such a slashy set of books. I am 100% down for any sort of romance between these two, but I'm equally interested in friendship between them and in the relationships they have with other people. I would be just as satisfied with a story you wrote in which Damien falls in love with Hesseth or a character study in which Tarrant contemplates an eternity of burning in a shaft of sunlight. Romance or the lack thereof is perfectly fine with me.
I am really interested in what happens next after everything has changed at the end of the series. Magic is different and aliens are real and Tarrant has been given a new lease on life (and he has a kiddo running around the world to boot)! What do they do? Dare they interact with each other?
Locked Tomb Series
The tag set is huge. I am not going to give prompts for everybody in the tag set, but I promise I will be very happy with whatever you want to write. :)
Worldbuilding is very welcome. I would love to know more about how anything works in this world--the pre-apocalyptic times, John's godhood, necromancy, lyctorhood, any of it.
Absolutely love Abigail and would love to spend more time with her, maybe a glimpse of her courtship with Magnus or something from their past.
Ortus and his poetry was one of my favorite parts of the second book. I'd love seeing something more about him.
I'd love to see your predictions of what will happen next in the third book. It's harder for me to give prompts for this series because I don't have a good sense of what will happen next LOL. I'm all *mind blown*, but I love Gideon and Harrow very much, I grew to love Ianthe over the course of the second book, and I would sincerely love to read anything about any of the characters who inhabit this world (or the world itself!).
Thank you again for writing for me.
