Yuletide letter 2022 - Celamity on AO3

[celamity]

Hello, and thank you for writing for me this Yuletide!

To start with the nuts and bolts, I Do Not Want:
* explicit sex scenes/smut
* excessive violence and gore (T rated, including borderline should-this-be-M, is fine. E rated is not.)
* cruelty to children and animals
* non/dubcon
* downer ending
* AU settings - canon divergence is fine, just keep the setting
* crossovers
* reader fic
* character bashing

I do like:
* Romance
* Light Angst
* Hurt/Comfort
* Fluff
* Humour
* Friendships and found family
* Introspection
* Slice of life moments
* Portentous moments (if relevant to the fandom)
* Plots thickening or twisting

Treats are accepted and always welcome.


As for my chosen fandoms:

---

Baldur's Gate 1 and 2
Characters: Anomen Delryn and Charname

Anomen is the character I always ask for in exchanges. As I put it in my prior Yuletide prompt: Anomen is an acquired taste. He is the child of an alcoholic, with so much anger, and so eager to Prove His Father Wrong and Earn His Own Glory - and he starts out the gate as the most pompous and self-absorbed suit of armor you could ever hope not to meet.
But then, he starts growing, one way or another; he either grows into his suit, or he casts it aside.

I would love a story about any version of Anomen, be he lawful good, chaotic neutral, or lawful stupidneutral. As for Charname, their one defining feature is being a Bhaalspawn from Candlekeep. My own tend to be human, non-evil women, and I do prefer non-evil Charnames for stories, but otherwise feel free to go wild with characteristics.

I would enjoy any kind of interaction between these two. Romanced or not, friends or not - even an argument or antagonistic relationship as long as they don't end up outright enemies by the end.

Suggestions:
* Charname's party encounters Anomen on the Sword Coast during the events of BG1 - either set directly during BG1, or retrospective with them meeting in BG2 and realizing they know each other already
* A story set during any stage of ToB
* Someone gets whumped
* A servant of the god of guardians, and a potential godling. They should talk.
* - and maybe Charname is also a divine caster class?
* Anomen and Charname supporting each other

Bone (Comic)
Characters: Lunaria, Thorn

Extremely little is said about Thorn's mother in the story, and I would love a story that explores the relationship between them.

Suggestions:
* Thorn's early childhood
* Lunaria having a dream of what is to come
* An older Thorn getting to see her mother in a dream

The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982)
Characters:Marguerite Blakeney, Percy Blakeney

Suggestions:
* Hurt/Comfort (of course)
* Marguerite finds the room and figures things out way sooner, not long after their falling out - how would her knowing, but not telling him, affect the plot?
* Corollary: if Marguerite figured out his identity earlier, what steps might she then take to figure out why he started shunning her?
* What if they were both sharing his secret by the time her good friend Chauvelin shows up to blackmail her?
