Dear YesFest participant:

Thank you for creating for me!

My number one want: I hope you write something you enjoy, and have fun.

My Ao3 name is firecat

Art

I'm afraid I know very little about fanfic art and it's the first time I've requested any. So all I can say is surprise me and I'll praise your work in an artfully-uninformed manner. :D

Request-specific notes:

Loki/Óðinn | Odin (Norse Religion & Lore)
The tags I selected mostly angle toward hate sex and S/M but I would also be happy to see tenderness between them if that's what appeals to you. Maybe Odin decides Loki has been punished enough and wants to comfort or heal him. Maybe Loki is always trying to seduce Odin, and this time Odin decides to go for it. Maybe Loki's a masochist, and his punishment has left him with a high pain tolerance, and Odin really wants to blow off some steam.

Tags officially selected:Aftercare, Anal Sex, Blow Jobs, Body Hair, Body Worship, Bondage, Character Has Both Cock And Cunt, Coming Untouched, Consensual Cock And Ball Torture, Dirty Talk, Dom/sub, Face Slapping, Gags, Healing Sex, Knifeplay, Let's forget we hate each other long enough to have sex, Orgasm Control, Ritual Sex

Beauty & the Beast
Wants: Beast-in-Beast-form sex; tenderness; happy ending

In my headcanon/AU, the Beast remains in Beast form after the end of the movie, to Beauty's delight. Or it could be set before the end, with Beauty tending the Beast's wounds. How would they deal with the size/strength differences between them? Why does Beauty find the Beast's form sexually attractive? I've written a fic about this but I'd love to see another take on it. Or maybe the way it works out is that both of them can transform between beast and human form at will. I'd be more than happy to see the palace servants get in on the act, in human or magical form.

Tags officially selected: Body Hair, Honour Bondage, Size Kink, Bondage, Playful Sex, Orgasm Control, Body Worship, Coming Untouched

Coriolanus - Shakespeare
If you're keeping the original setting, I would especially like it set between Act IV, Scene five (when Martius allies with Aufidius) and Act V, Scene six (when the alliance ends).

This is a four-minute, captioned video from the filmed stage play starring Tom Hiddleston. It explains why and how I ship Aufidius and Martius. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSQOdP56W-Q
But I'm open to other interpretations!

Tags officially selected: You're the Only One I Trust Enough to Fuck, Wall Sex, unexpected tenderness, Undressing Each Other, Turned on by demonstration of loyalty, Thank-God-We're-Alive Sex, Size Kink, Sex While Injured or Wounded, Rough Sex, Body Worship, Deepthroating, Bloodplay, Bathing/Washing Someone, Biting

The Umbrella Academy
I see Klaus as having a hard shell around a vulnerable and yearning center, and I would like him to get something he wants.

Klaus/Dave: I would prefer both characters to be adults or an AU where they're both teens. They're both experiencing something emotionally bigger than they've experienced before. Some of what they're experiencing they have in common but other parts of it are very different for each of them.

Klaus/Diego: Diego envies what he sees as Klaus's easy, happy-go-lucky approach to life (if only he knew what that approach really came from, or what it costs Klaus). But he might not be fully aware of envying it, or the envy might come and go. Klaus flirts with Diego, both because he really wants him and to annoy him. Usually Diego doesn't bite, but some circumstances make him tempted. Klaus has nurturing urges, so hurt/comfort is one way to go.

Klaus/Ben: What happens between them when Ben can manifest physically? We've seen Ben possess and control Klaus's body, but maybe they also have the ability to share the body as equals—what would masturbation be like then? If they're having sex with partner(s), how would the partner(s) experience their different ways of using Klaus's body?
