Yuletide Letter 2025

[crantz]

Hello! I'm Rosencrantz on AO3 and this is my Yuletide letter! Thank you for reading it!

DNW: Dub/noncon, underage (-18/-18 sexual, -18/+18 anything)
WANT: Casefic, adventure, romance, epistolary, ghosts, heavy character interaction.

ALSO: Treats very welcome!

ALSO ALSO: I have opted in for the IF mini-challenge (all my fandoms, but especially Citizen Kane) and the unusual formats challenge (all my fandoms! Academia stuff especially for BPRD), and Yulebuilding (the worldbuilding challenge! Just Hellboy for that one)


Fandoms:

• Hellboy (Comics)


• X-Men: The Animated Series (1992)


• Citizen Kane

Fandom: Hellboy (Comics)
Characters:
Hellboy
Abe Sapien
Kate Corrigan


Fandom specific DNW: The Apocalypse storyline stuff. You can avoid it by setting it before everything goes to hell.

Ship stuff: I would be happy with any combo of the above, if you want to write that!

Prompts:

• Your favourite folklore or cryptid for them to encounter! Or your favourite urban legend!


• Academia stuff


• Work training/team building exercise


• Beach day


• Movie night

Fandom: X-Men: The Animated Series (1992)
Characters:
Remy LeBeau
Rogue
Ororo Munroe

Shipping: I enjoy Remy/Rogue and Rogue/Ororo. No Remy/Storm.

Things I like from the comics that might work well here: Remy as a little brother figure to Ororo. Ororo and Gambit being thieves together.

NOTE: I have not seen the '97 sequel cartoon.

Prompts:

• Okay so you know how Rogue has Carol's mind in her? What if that was the only way to 'save' a dying Gambit and she ends up with him like a shoulder angel/devil after that? Or other sort of mind-fuckery?


• Team building exercise


• Slow day at the mansion.


• Learning some new technology together


• Housemate Troubles


• Someone gets a pet

---

Fandom: Citizen Kane
Characters:
Charles Foster Kane
Jed Leland


Shipping: I am in fact encouraging Kane/Leland but gen is also cromulent.

I would like something about Kane and Leland's whole VIBE. I want something delving into it. It can be shippy, it can be otherwise. I started being intrigued by the fact they were sharing a room at the newspaper office and well, Leland's whole Lelandery.

I would enjoy types of fic for this:

• Plotty


• Shippy


• Character dynamic gen


• Character study


• Epistolary (letters, articles written at each other or with each other, journal entries, interviews)


• After the fact by other characters ABOUT these characters


• In the moment alternate views of scenes we witnessed
