Yulebuilding 2018: Worldbuilding for Yuletide

Greetings, everyone! Yuletide contains multitudes, and a chunk of those multitudes would really like to request worldbuilding. Thus, here is a sub-challenge post for those of us who love worldbuilding, either on the giving or receiving end.

To participate
  • Leave a comment on this fic with a link to your letter if you are interested in receiving worldbuilding. Optionally, add any extra worldbuilding likes, DNWs, and prompts you may have into your comment.
  • If you don't have a letter, you can still leave prompts here! Please ensure your comment includes your AO3 username, requested fandoms, and any characters you're requesting.
  • When uploading your fic to the archive, tag it with Yulebuilding and Worldbuilding so the rest of us can find it!


It's not necessary to interact with Yulebuilding in any way to give or request worldbuilding for Yuletide, but this post is here to make life easier. Enjoy!

As far as I'm concerned, all the worldbuilding is welcome all the time. But two of my requests this year particularly lend themselves to worldbuilding, and luckily they are both also very quick to pick up!

Le città invisibili | Invisible Cities - Italo Calvino (Berenice; Euphemia)
I link to the (short) relevant canon in my letter (I also say for worldbuilding responses it's fine to ignore my requested cities, and something written for a different city, or some city not covered in the original text.)

Omar Rayyan - Works (Spanish Mackerel)
This is a painting. I'd love to know more about the world depicted - its culture, its politics, its cities, art, kingdoms, way of life. Alternatively (or as well!) I'd be fascinated to see something dealing with what sort a creature might be part human part octopus.
