Crueltide!
Not every story is pleasant. Not every story has a happy ending, and not all happy endings come without a dark and painful journey. And sometimes, those are the kinds of stories that we really, really want to read.
If you're one of the many people interested in either writing or receiving darkfic or horror, then Crueltide is here for you!
The short version
The long version is beneath the cut.
Why Crueltide?
Because darkfic isn't to everyone's taste. By making it easier to identify darkfic prompts and people open to receiving darkfic in yuletide, we can all indulge our preferences without placing undue pressure on our assigned writers or risking gifting unwelcome fics to our recipients. (And also: the name was the least cutesy of those being thrown around in 2014.)
What is darkfic?
Depends on your definition. But here's a (non-exhaustive) list of darker tropes to get you started:
(White text used as some content may be triggering to some - highlight to read.)
Does a darkfic story have to have an unhappy ending/some other specific trope?
No! Not at all. Just because a story is packed with darkfic tropes doesn't mean there's no light at the end of the tunnel. Also, just because you like one trope, it doesn't mean you like all of them. Feel free to specify your do-not-wants alongside your wants.
Great, how does it work?
-- If you end up writing a darkfic story, just tag it with Crueltide when you upload it to the collection, and that'll help readers find more of what they like. It would also be good to tag any particular tropes you've used, to help readers find/avoid them. That's all you need to do! If your recip requested dark or horror fic but didn't comment on this post, you can still tag it with Crueltide if it fits the theme! The Crueltide tag helps all of us darkfic and horror readers find more things to read. :)
-- If you would like to receive a darkfic story in one of the fandoms you've requested in your yuletide sign-up, you can advertise that here by replying to this post. (The template below is merely a suggestion of what to include - the level of detail in prompts/tropes is entirely up to you. But please do limit yourself to fandoms on your Yuletide sign-up - the Yuletide mods need to be sure you get a fic in one of those, and a treat in an unexpected fandom could make that awkward. )

Fandoms:
The Islanders -- could be cool to write about the island with the thrymes and the creeping horror of realising you haven't fully sealed the tent/there's a thryme in the truck. Or the creepy fear towers are PERFECT Crueltide fodder. It's fine if characters die for this one--just don't dwell on it if it's "on-screen," please.
The Crossing -- what are the cat and the people fleeing from (war, a volcano, some sort of black magic?), or has the Cat kidnapped the people for some reason? And/or what terrifying creatures lurk under the depths? No character death, please.
Le Città Invisibili | Invisible Cities -- I don't have as many ideas off the top of my head for this one, but I am curious to see what you come up with! I really liked the horror take on a Thomas Kinkade painting from last Yuletide.
For all my canons, I'm more interested in the horror aspect coming from an inhuman force or large group of humans such that they aren't acting as individuals (such as thrymes or the fear towers, sea monsters, some horrifying city) rather than one or two people Being Awful to the victim.
Happy Endings Preferred?: don't mind
Yes tropes: Apocalypse, betrayal, body horror, character death (for Islanders), claustrophobia, conspiracy, gaslighting, haunting, invasion of privacy, mind control (that can be resisted or broken, please!), monsters, paranoia, unhappy endings
Unwanted tropes: addiction, animal abuse, brainwashing - cannibalism, character death (for Crossing), child abuse, dystopia, humiliation, insanity, medical experimentation, absolute and unshakeable mind control, murder, mutilation, non-con/dub-con, poisoning, PTSD, slavery, suicide, torture + DNWs from my signup (detailed in letter).

Happy Endings Preferred?: I don't mind them, but I don't need them.
Wanted tropes: Psychological horror, gore, torture (both physical and mental/emotional), PTSD and related issues, trauma recovery (that's actually my favorite thing about dark fic, the fallout and the dealing with that stuff afterwards), kinky sex as an instrument to deal with past trauma, child abuse (if referenced or implied in canon), character death, dystopia and apocalypse, captivity and restraints, body horror (except anything involving eyes), permanent injury (preferably both inflicted and dealt with onscreen), mindfuck and manipulation, unreliable narrator, humiliation and degradation, invasion of privacy, altered perception (for whatever reason) and its consequences, involuntary nudity, coercion, intimacy without love. Incest if it's treated as unhealthy and terrible, soulmates (or most other usually happy tropes) gone wrong, enemies to lovers/lust, power imbalance that is addressed as such and/or skewed in favor of the seemingly weaker party.
Unwanted tropes: I'm picky with consent-related issues, especially when it comes to women -- actually, I'm always pickier when it comes to women, I prefer my guys to do the suffering. Victim blaming, even implied or referenced, is a huge no, though I can be fine with it if the narrative recognizes and acknowledges that the victim isn't actually at fault. Graphic and descriptive non-con is a hard no. Forced nudity and threats of rape or sexual violence, especially in the context of torture, are okay, as long as a rescue happens before said threats are actually followed up on. I don't like feminization of male characters or sexist/gendered slurs, and racism is also a total nope. Please avoid permanent injury. Also, actual slavery, mpreg bestiality, medical experimentation, and anything involving bodily fluids and excrement. I can deal with vomit if it's not graphic, and watersports is okay if it focuses on the desperation and humiliation and not on the fact that it is, well, pissing. Underage below the age of sixteen, and age gaps of more than fifteen years (physically and/or mentally) or with one party below, say, twenty -- meaning, for example, twenty-two and thirty-seven is okay, fifteen and thirty is definitely not. A/B/O is out, so is any kind of kink-based AU universe.
Please keep to the characters requested in this comment, not all in the signup. And generally, don't go overboard and keep it in character and in the context of the source fandom, even if you go for an AU.

Happy Endings Preferred?: Yes, at least some type of hope or redemption.
Wanted tropes: Unreliable narrators, horrors of war, forced to choose between ideals or people, main character death and grief (esp. dealing with canonical death), confronting your worst fears about yourself, unconventional morality, psychological horror, excessive loyalty, alienation, paranoia, corruption, dystopian societies, PTSD, dub-con of the sex pollen/drugged/going into heat variety, fuck-or-die scenarios, blood kink, pain kink, knife play, involving unknowing people in your kink, sex work, 'shoot the dog' to save someone else from having to do it, mind control, hypnosis, brainwashing, gaslighting, possession, xeno, tentacles, controlling (or failing to control) dangerous desires, the subtle, building realization that something is deeply wrong.
Special shout-out to my oh-so-very Crueltide Operation Paperclip AU request for Rivers of London. If you've ever wondered what would happen if, instead of stealing the research of Nazi practitioners at Ettersburg and burying it in the Black Library, the British wizards recruited the defeated practitioners and USED that research to win the war and rule the peace, I'd love to see you write about it!
Unwanted tropes: COVID or related plagues, non-con between main characters (unless forced on them from the outside), suicide, evil for the sake of evil, child abuse, pregnancy and breeding, partner betrayal, forced feminization, graphic on-screen overdose or non-con, focus on mental illness or institutionalization

- 300 (Movies) — Astinos/Stelios
Happy Endings (to a degree) are appreciated, but I have a very flexible definition of 'happy'. My favorite sort of ending is 'happy but fucked up'; if the character has some version of what they want even if the situation is twisted/objectively fucked up beyond belief, that's a happy ending in my book! (My other fandoms are also on the Crueltide table, I just couldn't think of enough prompts for them.)American Horror Stories — Adam/Troy
The Power of the Dog - Thomas Savage — Peter/Phil
Romulus (TV 2020) — Enitos/Yemos, Wiros/Yemos
Unwanted Tropes are permanent requested-character death, noncon where one/both parties hate the sex, torture, humiliation/embarrassing situations by design, & infidelity (AHS being the exemption).
Below are some trope suggestions that I think would work with the fandom, & prompts to go with them. If you can think of something similar or that fits the vibe, please write it instead!

Wanted tropes: Character Death, Lovecraftian Cosmic Horrors, Monsters, Murder, Non-explicit Violence
Unwanted tropes: Animal Abuse, Torture or Slavery beyond the level in source (aka, mentioned, but not explicit), Humiliation, Non-Con
Prompts: Canon-typical levels of violence, crime, death, etc are fine, especially in the context of a case. What with Beka being the chosen of the Black God, and her work with dead spirits, which I'd love to see explored, death, murder, and ghosts are a given. Tortall also has canon monsters/Lovecraftian horrors in the form of the Immortals, and it might be interesting to see one of them venture across the barrier from the Divine Realms early and interact with Beka and company. H/C is always welcome.

Unwanted tropes: Graphic animal abuse (canon typical is fine), Humiliation, Non-con, Slavery, Torture, Graphic gore
Prompts: Feel free to go full Josh on this world, so yes, Crueltide ok. Any kind of apocalyptic or dystopian plot would fit right in here, and the accompanying mayhem, violence, murder and death. If you want to go full Lovecraftian eldritch monster with either the Terminator Bears or Moon Goblins, go for it! If you want to give Grace or another survivor paranoia, PTSD, or insanity, I'm here for it! H/C, light on the C would be fab.
Fandoms: Hercules (1997)
Wanted tropes: Apocalypse, Character Death, Dystopia, Lovecraftian Cosmic Horrors, Murder, Non-explicit Mutilation, Violence, Immortality, Grim Reaper aspects, Manipulation, Canon-typical slavery (how Hades owns Meg's soul), Rituals, Dub-con with Persephone, Dub-con owning of Meg,
Unwanted tropes: Animal Abuse, Humiliation, Non-con, Torture, Graphic gore
Prompts: With Hades being the God of the dead, feel free to play with all kinds of character death/war/violence tropes. He's trying to literally free monsters to bring about the apocalypse — maybe an AU where Pain and Panic didn't screw up so he wins? Dub-con with Persephone is fine, though please don't go all the way to non-con. Dubby stuff with Megara regarding him owing her soul and bending her to his will and sending her out to seduce people is great, but please don't take it all the way to non-con sex.

Fandoms: Gateway - Frederik Pohl. A quick-read SF novel from the 70s about humans discovering alien ships that take you... somewhere... and might make you rich but are more likely to kill you, often in horrible ways.
Thousand Worlds - George R. R. Martin. A bunch of short stories plus two novels with a shared setting; you don't have to read all the canon to write for it. Lush, sense-of-wonder, sometimes horrific space opera setting. Some of the stories, like "Sandkings" and "In the House of the Worm," are horror.
Happy Endings Preferred?: I'm open to either.
Wanted tropes: Weird SF settings/creatures that try to kill you, humans being no match for things they don't understand, gothics, PTSD, cosmic horror, terrifying ancient/unknown alien machinery, things beyond human ken.
Unwanted tropes: Rape, child abuse or death, sadistic cruelty to animals (self-defense/hunting for food is fine), pregnancy, cannibalism, bleak endings of the kind where cruel people triumph and good people are crushed. (Endings where nice people die because space/nature is just like that are fine.)

Happy Endings Preferred: I'm fine with sad endings if that's what works for your fic, but if in doubt I tend to prefer the ambiguous-bittersweet-happy end of the spectrum. Hurt/comfort is kind of my thing: my favourite fics tend to involve someone undergoing extreme suffering and then being looked after; getting to lie down in a nice soft bed etc.
Wanted tropes:
Amputation, Degradation, Mutilation, Non-Con, PTSD, Torture. [These are my five absolute favourites - I'm also more than fine with everything else on the list except ...]
Unwanted tropes:
Animal Abuse, Child Abuse.
I would be ecstatic to receive a fic about any of my nominated characters undergoing any of my wanted tropes, and there's no such thing as 'too extreme'. I prefer to read fics from the point of view of the person suffering, or someone who cares about them, rather from the point of view of someone inflicting suffering.

Fandoms:
The Rake's Progress The Devil ("disguised" as Nick Shadow) visits Tom Rakewell in his idyllic (if slothful) country life to tell him that he's come into an inheritance. He takes him away from his pure-hearted girlfriend to London to learn to spend it and, of course, leads him down the path of destruction. She follows to try to save him, but Tom is pretty much convinced from the first that he's irredeemable. This is partly due to his personal philosophy (fate is fate) and partly due to Shadow's total influence over him. There's a scene in which Shadow tries to talk Tom into killing himself, insisting that it's the price he didn't name "a year and a day" ago when Tom agreed to his services. The dynamic between Nick Shadow and Tom Rakewell is delicious--Shadow is so much in control and Tom is pretty much completely oblivious and pretty darned innocent.
This clip of that scene is from the version I first saw, which imprinted me on the ship. It's got manhandling so much manhandling, real sweat, a little fake blood, strongly implied non-con, suicide talk, loss of sanity,, it technically takes place in a graveyard though you wouldn't know it from the set, and the entire chorus is dressed as naked monkeys wearing white sneakers (and they don't even get to keep those).
Happy Endings Preferred?: No
Wanted tropes: dub/non-con, corruption, mindgames, self-harm, power dynamics, characters stuck in roles
Unwanted tropes: incest, funerary rites and corpses, terminal illness (canonical allegorical "death in bedlam" okay)
