Da uomo a uomo | Death Rides a Horse (1967)
The music in this movie is amazing and in general I really like it. It is free to watch on Youtube (2 hours).
The Big Combo (1955)
The third movie with Lee van Cleef, and just as amazing (he plays a secondary character, one of two evil henchmen to the mob boss and the other henchman is clearly slightly in love with him). I got this movie recommended on tumblr and since then I've been slightly obsessed with it. It is also free to watch on Youtube (1,5 hours).

Da uomo a uomo | Death Rides a Horse (1967)
The music in this movie is amazing and in general I really like it. It is free to watch on Youtube (2 hours).
Prompts:
I would love a ship fic with either Bill/Ryan or Ryan/Walcott
- For Ryan/Walcott it can be pretty dark. Personally I think there is subtext that these two had a history and a potential relationship could tie in really well with the betrayal of the gang that resulted in Ryan going to prison.
- For Bill/Ryan, maybe a post-movie fic? Exploration of their character, hidden scenes. I'm not picky.
The scene in the bar(?) in El Viento with Bill and Martita is so interesting, because he realises something is going on and changes his behaviour accordingly in her presence. A fic exploring Martita's character (together with Ryan as a child, or on her own) could be really interesting. (Also I have a secret wish for reading a WLW Death Rides a Horse fic, and she is one of two and a half women in the entire movie...)
Specific DNW explained
Ryan's decision to go back to the Meceita farm could be seen as a form of passive suicidal ideation, and it is fine if this is explored. (It is also fine if he dies by other hands than his own, as long as he doesn't stay dead through (supernatural means or otherwise)(sad endings are fine))
Per qualche dollaro in più | For a Few Dollars More (1965)
Again, amazing music in this movie and about three hours worth of staring into your co-stars eyes.

Prompts:
I would love a ship fic with either Manco/Mortimer or El Indio/Niño
For Manco/Mortimer
- An exploration of their past/future, maybe a missing scene, and the 'how did Manco get his hands on Mortimer's watch' question answered
- Trans headcanons for either are very much appreciated
For El Indio/Niño
- Maybe an exploration of their past, who did they used to be and how/why did they end up in the situation where they are during the movie?
- Toxic relationship between a madman/his loyal follower
- Was Indio truly going to take all the money so he could run away with Niño into the sunset?
A fic where both relationships are present is also very much appreciated
- Both Manco and Mortimer infiltrate the gang and Indio gets curious as to what they do in their spare time?
Specific DNW exception
An exploration of Mortimer's grief after his sister's suicide is fine, though I would prefer not to read a fic from his sister's pov in the scene before her death
The Big Combo (1955)
The third movie with Lee van Cleef, and just as amazing (he plays a secondary character, one of two evil henchmen to the mob boss and the other henchman is clearly slightly in love with him). I got this movie recommended on tumblr and since then I've been slightly obsessed with it. It is also free to watch on Youtube (1,5 hours).
Prompts:
- Missing scenes where they go on a date
- Them being on a date with an unwilling third (Mr Brown or Miss Lowle (see the restaurant scene)
- What happened before they got called out of bed to kill someone
- Their last scene, what/where they planning to go together
- Happy ending with Mr Brown not being a heartless monster
- Why was Mingo suddenly fine with selling out Mr Brown after seeing Fante
- Mingo surviving against all odds and now being all alone (in prison or not)
Sad endings are totally fine (as are deep explorations of grief)
Ocean's 8
Choosing between 8 and 11 was hard, but in the end the femslash won the battle.
Ocean's 8
Choosing between 8 and 11 was hard, but in the end the femslash won the battle.
A crossover with Ocean's 11 is absolutely fine
Prompts:
- pre-canon, how did they meet?
- everything in this movie sounds like they had a very messy break-up and then Debbie started dating dude who send her to prison, and now they are again messily dating (but everything is still a mess and they break up several times during the span of the movie)
- missing scenes during the movies
- either or both had something with Tammie, which they did not know about the other until a dramatic reveal

Prompts:
Darcy/Elizabeth
- I would really like to see a genderbend -> slash (either way around), but otherwise is also fine
- I love these idiots, anything is fine really
Elizabeth/Charlotte
- exploration of a WLW relationship in the beginning of 1800
- the true reason why Elizabeth was so distressed at Charlotte marrying?

Watership Down - Richard Adams
I've been on and off obsessed with this book for the last decade, so I really couldn't miss the opportunity.
Prompts:
- I'm not a huge fan on shipping with any of the characters of this book (but feel free to surprise me) (on the other hand, I just had a vision of Fiver/the Black Rabbit, so really, feel free to go wild)
- maybe an exploration of the ending with Hazel & the Black Rabbit of Inlé
- pre/post-canon musings of the individual characters
Specific DNW explanation
- I did not like the Netflix adaptation, please keep out specific canon details that were invented here
Brief voor de koning | Letter for the king (series) - Tonke Dragt

Brief voor de koning | Letter for the king (series) - Tonke Dragt
I am a huge fan of Tonke Dragt (and was therefore less than amused with the Netflix adaptation). But the existence of an English adaptation does ensure that there is a bigger base of people who are able to come into contact with the story, so we'll try it here. (And maybe there is someone who like me didn't think of a book and then sees it in the taglist either way).
Prompts:
I love the world this story exists in (and that is explored even more in the sequel) and the characters I listen are more prominent people in the background than well-known beings.
- I would love an exploration as to who they were before the story caught up with them
- maybe a bit of missing scenes between the two books
- maybe some lost love and relationships (would not mind a Ristridin/Edwinem fic at all)
General DNW
Suicide (details explained per fandom), reader-fic, 1st/2nd POV, PWP (smut is fine as long as it's not the focus of the story, scat, watersports, beastiality, incest, Netflix adaptation canon
Kinderen van Moeder Aarde | Children of Mother Earth - Thea Beckman
I was so surprised to see this book in the taglist (and very ashamed that I was not the one to prompt it). I've been obsessed with her books for the majority of my life, the world that was created and is so interesting to see when you have a bit more knowledge about the history of Europe. (I really need to reread these books). I don't think there is an English version available of this book, but I'm more than happy to talk about/explain the story.
Since this series is in Dutch (and as far as I know there are no translations), it is absolute fine to write in Dutch if that easier, but English is also fine.

Prompts:
- Honestly, anything and everything
- Exploration of Thule (maybe especially it's history and those missing years between book 2 and 3)
- Friendship (relationship) between Elvira and Shasita (I am always done for femslash)
- Tjalf musing about the world that has changed so much since he was born and learning with Elvira how much difference hope can make when interacting with nature
- Would not mind Elvira befriending older Badeners that stayed in Thule in book 1 and 2 (for example Kilian). And thinking/talking about the way Baden has changed since they left or how they experience living in Thule as foreigners/failed colonizers.

Dear Yuletide Write 2026
Oct. 19th, 2026 09:54 pmDear Yuletide Writer
Thank you for writing for me! I am delighted you also enjoy these characters and fandoms :D
I have rambled about each one to give you a starting point, please write what you feel moved to write. I am very into stories about relationships - platonic, romantic, sexual and all the overlaps. I definitely enjoy an E rated fic but I’m always there for the characters first and foremost. I am open to BDSM, omegaverse and other ‘role based’ scenes or world building, if that’s your thing.
Just getting one fic about any of these would be a dream, but I am absolutely open to treats!
