she could steal, but she could not rob

Dear yuletide writer:

Hello! Let me say right off the bat that I don't want to risk stifling your creativity or anything. I'll be easy to please. But if you're looking for a little more detail to work with, I can try to help you out.

Where all of my requests are concerned, you really can't go wrong with genfic. I'm a real sucker for slice-of-life pieces.

I like banter. I like three-dimensional characters. I like scenes involving rain. I like tight friendships, especially when they're formed in unlikely ways.

Though I'm most interested in genfic, if there is smut involved I'd prefer something consensual, no incest, nothing AU. I like things -- whether we're talking genfic or smut or whatever -- that make sense for those characters as if they were ripped straight from their intended canon, if I can get away with saying that and still make sense myself. In other words, I'd really love something that I can believe is a canonical moment, that could be part of an issue or episode or chapter that I just so happened to skip over and not read or see until you were lovely enough to show it to me.

Lastly, just for the record, please don't think that I'm less interested in my third request just because it was by far the vaguest request. I honestly am perfectly happy to be surprised on that one. My only possible prompt for the characters I selected is that I'd probably most enjoy something set in the time period covered by the first book in the series, maybe fairly early on in their friendship.

Thanks for reading! And for writing. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
