traykorThanks for writing for me! I love Yuletide and I love treats too.
A few notes to start:
I sure do love a good world build, and this year that's a focus of the picks, as these are all 5 minute fandoms.
I like romance that is present but takes a back seat to friendship, or slow burns. I adore found family, and people being good parents. I like hurt comfort, and people taking care of each other.
Happy endings only please. Do be as funny or as zany as you like. These songs and art are mostly already on the way to silly.
Do Not Wants:
AUs that change the setting, POVs. or professions--high school AU, Coffee Shop AU types, modern set aus.
I absolutely do no want porn. Romance is fine, fade to black for the sex like you're on broadcast TV. No infidelity.
No non-canon character death, and definitely no killing either song heroine.
Please keep sexual violence to aired on TV levels too--in general think 'safe for network broadcast'.
Do not give any protagonist a problem with drugs or alcohol, or treat narcotic use for pain as bad.
The Outlandish Knight (Traditional Ballad):
Playlist: www.youtube.com/playlist
Take your pick of versions--"Lady Isabel & the Elf Knight" is what Child titled the set, so feel free to pick and choose from the 8 variants, but I prefer the elements from the Outlandish Knight versions such as the parrot. I really like that sassy parrot.
How did she get a snarky parrot anyway? Do also keep her alive--there's the one variation where he does manage to kill her, my least favorite--but you don't have to have the knight dead if you want to play around with it.
If you want to do a bigger worldbuild, both Isabel and Margaret are names used in a lot of ballads. Are they the same? different?
Do they all meet for tea every other Tuesday with the rest of the ladies from ballads and complain about the men in their lives?

Tell me everything and anything about this princess/queen and her dirty rotten husband. Does she take over with her handmaidens? How did she get into this mess?

What even is going on here? I've loved this video for decades now, I love how it tells a story of these two musicians and their journey even if you don't know Japanese. I love it so much, build as much more or little of the story as you like. What are the lights? Who are the musicians? What happens to them?
can't believe u forgot the scrolls, how am i supposed to resurrect the dragon now?

I adore Tomislav's quirky art. Please, tell me about this necromancer, his giant minion, and this poor dead dragon. Or recently resurrected dragon.
Fandom specific DNW: no evil dragon. Be on the dragon's side.
