Yuletide '21 Letter
Oct. 21st, 2021 03:26 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
valiantbarnesHello! Thank you for reading my letter! As usual, feel free to disregard everything but my DNW's; I will be delighted to read anything you write me!! I'm happy to receive crueltide and yuleporn, art treats, AU's, fics of all ratings [am i forgetting anything??]. I've requested most of these fandoms in other exchanges and all letters are on this dw. My AO3 is ValiantBarnes (Cimila). All the manga should be easily findable on mangadex, iirc, and I've linked the novel's translation.
A nice overview/review
I really enjoy the developing and evolving relationship between Gyeong Joon and Cain, the way they're both a mess in very different directions, how quickly they start to gravitate towards each other. Gyeong Joon turns ride or die much faster than he'd like to admit and Cain is possessive, protective, doting, weirdly affectionate - all through a fucked up demon lens, of course. I'd like to see more of that fucked up demon lens! More cultural clashes/miscommunications! Especially if demon/hell culture is, well, hellish. The size difference! It really does kill me, haha.
I'm also just really curious about Aaron! What has he been doing for 500 years, more back story with his lover, how that relates to how he treats/interacts with Cain and Gyeong Joon.
Now, not to steal wholesale from my last years yuletide letter, but: prompts: role reversal au; Gyeong Joon falls into hell (and Cain's arms, literally); full demon form victory fuck; extended Cain pushing Gyeong Joon away for his own good but make it really hurt; alternate first meeting - Gyeong Joon accidentally summons Cain by, idk, rearranging his plants in an odd formation.
Where to read
These two are a ridiculous mess and I love them. *Slaps roof of novel* This baby can fit so many tropes. Wei Yanzi's 'wow I can pretend my cp is real! company mandated fake quasi-relationship!' versus Gu Yiliang's 'I will be Wei Yanzi's sugar daddy to make sure he's safe.' Love the sweetness, the care shown, the humour, the way they both grow to care for each other so quickly - the way that Gu Yiliang secretly cared all along??? We never mention the 'take care of yourself' cat video again???? I feel that it is very important?
Things I would like to see - more tropes? Different tropes? Even more weird fake dating shenanigans? God, imagine if this ridiculous pair had to go undercover for any reason.
PSoH fucked me up! Not the horror stuff, oh no, I wish it were that simple. The fucking... unresolved ending! Leon searching for D for 20 fucking years! And D still running, after all that time! The deep emotional connection formed between the two by the end of the series is intense. Initially reluctant acquaintances on both sides, Leon slowly growing as a person and coming to terms with the supernatural and D's personality - D fighting his affection for Leon at every step and still unable to accept it, at the end and years later simply because Leon is a human.
I love the themes of found family that permeate the series, especially once Chris arrives. I enjoy his character and the impact that he had on Leon and D and the path their relationship took. If you wanna go full horror, I would also love that. The series is good but it's... very Horror Lite. Don't really have any prompts for this (or, nothing comprehensible, haha) but am just as happy to see them in some sort of au, or what could be an au but is just some supernatural fuckery, as I am to see some canon based stuff.
For Mirae and Sang Hwa: they're fools and I love them. I love the canon relationship, the way Sang Hwa does so much personal growth, all of Mirae's aesthetic. It's nice and sweet and I firmly believe they live happily together forever! And get married in their online game in a really cheesy way and then their online friends hold a party for them or something.
Adding Ryuh Han into the mix... hehehehe. Look, for the longest time I thought the story was going to be one of those 'the 2nd male lead realises his feelings too late' type deals, but I was wrong. But... what if I was right! After so long being oblivious about Sang Hwa's feelings (about his own feelings perhaps?), he gets a clue too late and now Sang Hwa's dating a gangster??!? He decides to put a stop to it and ends up dating both of them instead? Mirae thinks it will make Sang Hwa happy and reluctantly befriends this idiot he massively dislikes but then... oh no, he's actually an okay guy.
I really just want Sang Hwa/Mirae/Ryuh Han poly relationship, please! Just Sang Hwa/Mirae is also fine, but... poly! *sparkles* Also, apparently I have internalised the user name Mirae as Gwon Lee Gum's actual name. This is not a preference for how I want it written, I didn't even notice until I wrote this letter haha. Legal or online name fine for all characters.
This series is very fun and I love the canon relationships, the way Tatsu is so devoted and in love with Miku, how that is so clearly reciprocated and the way their relationship is happy and healthy (even if they are both dumb as hell. Himbo4Himbo for life). I also love how well Masa fits; the way he idolises his ex-boss, how he's struggling to figure out what to do with his life in the wake of their gang's dissolution, how easily he gets along with Miku. Masa is literally learning how to be a house husband from Tatsu! Imagine if Miku had two loving house husbands!!!
I would love anything with the three of them in a relationship - getting together, established, weird sometimes threesome that keeps muddying the waters until they're all tangled up about it. Tatsu's life lessons get a bit more hands on? Miku notices Masa's hero worship of Tatsu is not exactly the idolisation she'd thought it was? More birthday party shenanigans? Masa's the one who gets to teach Tatsu and/or Miku something this time?
