Rare Ship Swap: Dear Author Letter
d&d roll
gryvon
Hello, author and thank you for writing for me. Please know that I will like pretty much anything you write simply because you wrote it for me. ^_^

In general, I like: snark, banter, teasing dialogue, witty humor, domesticity, geeks, sex with plot, sex with only vague plot, sex without plot, plot without sex, threesomes, moresomes, kink, angst, "damsels" in distress, hurt/comfort

I do not like: Drug use. Watersports. Scat.

Teen Wolf
Peter/Stiles or Derek/Stiles
(I also like Chris Argent/Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski threesomes if you want to throw that in)

I prefer Bottom Stiles. I'm a big fan of Alive Hale Family, Searching Ceremonies, or Werewolves are Known universes. I love hurt/comfort, especially if Stiles is the one getting hurt. If you need some prompts:

1) Peter lost his soulmate in the fire set by Kate Argent, which is why he's surprised to find the mark on his wrist - the mark that constantly reminded him of his dead wife (or husband) - matches the sheriff's son, one Stiles Stilinski, an annoying but intelligent brat who knows nothing about werewolves and is way to young for Peter to even consider, especially when the very thought of having a second mate seems like betraying his lost love.

2) Stiles's mom taught him more than just cooking, she taught him the superstitions and hedge magic that has been in her family for generations. His magic didn't go away with her death but rather has been growing stronger, almost too strong for him to control. He has trouble keeping it under wraps, especially around Cora Hale's older brother Derek. There's something about the Hales that just makes his magic want to curl up around them, but if there's one thing his mother taught him, it's that secrets like his are best kept hidden.

Original Work

I really like seeing academic or diplomatic characters discovering/exploring new worlds or new creatures. Some prompts:

1) The nerdy bookworm accidentally hooks up with an incubus (or other supernatural creature) and is amazed that all of the mythology he's been hooked on is actually real. The incubus just wants to bask in the afterglow of sex but bookworm has a million questions. Round two shuts him up.

2) Diplomatic character is sent to arrange a trade agreement, peace treaty, etc with an alien race. He finds himself fascinated by this new species and their world. Alien character gives him a reason to stay on that world.

Hannibal
Hannibal/Will

I really, really want to see an AU where Will actually goes off with Hannibal and Abigail and they're one big happy family together.

Grimm
Sean/Nick or Juliette/Sean/Nick

Things I love to see: Renard in charge, other characters giving Nick an unexpected helping hand when he needs it the most.

I love (LOVE) fairy tales and fairy tales mixed with the real world and the gritty realness of this show. I love that each episode is based on a specific fairy tale. Some of my favorite fairy tales if you need inspiration and want to go the Grimm retelling route: Rumpelstiltskin, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids (Not really good fic/episode material but I really like it for some reason), The Elves and the Shoemaker, Briar Rose, The Water Nixie, Twelve Dancing Princesses, Bluebeard, Six Swans

Dear Yuletide Letter!
d&d roll
gryvon
Dear Yuletide Writer,

I like porn. If there is porn of the characters I mention, I will be happy. If porn is not your thing, I like domesticity and that will also make me happy.

Requests:

Valdemar
Tylendel/Vanyel
Fix-it fic. I wanna see what life would be like if Tylendel didn't die. Maybe he'd never been a twin at all and thus didn't need to go on a mad killing spree. I just wanna see Vanyel and Tylendel be happy and maybe do a giant middle finger to Vanyel's dad.

Hellboy (Movies)
Nuada/Myers or Hellboy/Myers
Anything slashy involving Myers would make me happy. I'm of fan of Hellboy/Myers and Nuada/Myers but anything'll make me happy. What if Hellboy liked Myers and was jealous of how much time he spent with Liz? What if Nuada hadn't died? What if John hadn't been sent to Antarctica? What if Nuada survives and ends up in Antarctica with Myers? What if Nuada was recruited to work for the BRPD? Snark between any of the characters would be lovely.

Love Mode
Jin/Katsuki
I adore Jin and Katsuki beyond words. Really, I'd like to see them actually getting together on a more permanent basis, and Jin fessing up to his love for Katsuki. I've always loved the teasing dynamic between the two, and Jin's subtlety. For background characters (or side-characters) pretty much anyone goes. I adore Aoe and Naoya, Kiichi and Haruomi, Seiichi, etc. Anything with the bar crowd (Touma, Jin, Seiichi, Katsuki) or the Aoe's would be interesting, and though it'd be possibly a little strange to work in, having Katsuki interacting more with the Aoe's on a friendly basis would be rather interesting. I have to admit I have a fondness for situations where Katsuki is targeted by people at Blue Boy (or elsewhere), prompting Jin to save him.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Alan Quartermain/Tom Sawyer
Okay, so I'm a fan of age gaps. Can be set during the movie or after or AU or whatever. Maybe Tom and Alan were sort of a thing during the movies, and then Alan dies and Tom is grieving, and then Alan comes back. Or an adventure fic with the League. Side Dorian Grey/Huckleberry Finn would be amazeballs.

Hannibal Exchange

Apparently I'm a complete and utter twit and forgot to subscribe to the Hannibal Exchange and only just now realized "hey, shouldn't stories be out by now". >.> Fail.

But anyways, I received a brilliant, lovely fic from Luvkurai called Acceptance and my own story Blood Born, featuring wendigo!Hannibal, is up as well.

The Blanket Permission Post
d&d roll
gryvon
Since I occasionally (read: vary rarely) get asked, if you want to:
- translate
- podfic
- remix
- make fanart
- make fanmixes
- etc

any of my work, consider this my permission to do so with two caveats.

1) Credit me (preferably by linking to the original work on whatever site you prefer - AO3, LJ, DW, gryvon.com, FF.net)

2) Let me know so I can squee appropriately.

Yuletide Reveals
d&d roll
gryvon
Author reveals are up for Yuletide. I wrote two fics, the first of which ended up in the top 20 most read fics of Yuletide, which was awesome. ^_^

Belonging - (Suits, Harvey/Mike, NC-17, Includes BDSM and Sounding) When Harvey catches Mike at a BDSM club, he expects to be fired. He doesn't expect Harvey to pull out his checkbook and buy him.

Bad Ideas and Better Company - (Junjou Romantica, Gen) He knew buying the book was a bad idea. He didn't need it, really, but it called to him. He wasn't the only one it called to.

Also, finally got a chance to repost the HP fic I wrote earlier in the year:

In Shadows Found - (Harry Potter, Severus/Draco/Harry, NC-17) Harry goes missing during an investigation. Draco and Severus team up to search for him.

Yuletide Recs - Part 1
d&d roll
gryvon
So, Yuletide was awesome this year. I wrote two fics, one of which was a brand new kink for me. I was all "this is the first I've run across this, must not be a very popular kink but seems okay to me" and then I wrote fic and the Yuletide readers have been proving how very wrong I was about that kink. Like whoa.

Author reveals are this weekend. Whee!

So, to start off, I got five fic. FIVE. And they're all awesome. ^___^

Just a Little Slip - (Grimm, PG, Eddie/Nick) It started with I need you and I trust you and protect my aunt and please. And it’s been so long since Eddie’s been wanted that he just couldn’t say no.
I asked for a fic about Eddie going all animalistic and this fit that to a T.

Not My Type - (Hellboy, PG, Nuada/John) When John gets back, a lot of things are different around the BPRD. Most notably all the elves.
More Nuada/John!!! There is so not enough of this pairing!

Tree Dreams - (Hellboy, PG, Nuada/John) John Myers: Tree Hugger.
Even more Nuada/John, with a slight humor bent and a setup full of awesome and win.

Stop and Smell the Grimm - (Grimm, R, Eddie/Nick) Sometimes Nick forgets exactly how good Monroe's sense of smell is.
THIS!! OMG THIS!!! *flails*

Little Details - (Hanna is Not a Boy's Name, G, Gen) It's not that he minds - but Hanna doesn't share much, so when he does, it feels extraordinarily important.
Fic! For HiNaBN!! Happy, happy case fic!

And other fic I enjoyed, sorted by fandom, with a mix of genres and pairings or lack thereof:

Cowboys and Aliens comes out this weekend! So looking forward to its campy goodness.
In the recent LJ downtime, crossposting of the latest fanfic may have gotten swallowed in the news feed. So, just in case:

Thicker Than Water (The Vampire Remix)
Naruto, Kakashi/Iruka, R
Remix for kakairu_fest from kiterie's Vampire?

New story announcements are always posted on Dreamwidth, gryvon.com (has an RSS feed), and Twitter (along with babbling and fandom chatting).

Progress is coming along on the apocalyptothon fanfic. New fandom! Apocalypse! Whee!

Started playing around comment_fic. First resultant fic:

Lassiter/Shawn, ironic t-shirts

few more recs
d&d roll
gryvon
Twelfth Night - The First Twelve - ...nights of Viola and Orsino's marriage. Cute and awkward and entirely fitting for the play... and yes, I read het, but it's not graphic and I make an exception for those two...

The Strange and Not Entirely Ineffective Courting of Jon Stewart by Stephen T. Colbert - Not overly slashy, just a kind of funny look at what would happen if Colbert decided he and Jon should be together. And 'running mates' takes a whole new connotation.

How I Met Your Mother/Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Slayed in Manhattan - Mostly gen, with implied Giles/Robin. Robin gets attacked by a vampire on camera, but of course the Slayer girls are there to help out. Wonderful dialogue, including Marshal freaking out and Lily worrying that Robin things Willow is cooler than she is.

And anothern rec.
d&d roll

Wonderfalls - Jesus Complex - Jane gets institutionalized. A rather humurous story about the psychiatrist that's sent to deal with her, and the weird things that start happeneing in the mental ward while she's there.
