 There are many ways of queering texts and characters. This challenge is for any and all of them! The widest possible definition of queering is used here. If you think your prompt counts, then do so we.


To participate, leave a comment on this post linking to your letter, so anyone interested in queering your canon for yuletide can find you. Tag any fics for this mini-challenge with Queering The Tide. (I suggest you tag both Queering the Tide and TransTide if the two happen to overlap.)

Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc.:
The first of these is a film about T.E. Lawrence, who was gay in real life; I prefer interpretations of the film that see his bond with Emir Faisal as romantic/sexual, and got a great story on that last year! Most of the characters in Utena are various types of queer. The character Omar Little from The Wire is canonically gay (and I am requesting shippy stuff between him and the character Brother Mouzone), and Rosemary and Sissix in Wayfarers are in a canonical F/F relationship. I tend to interpret several of the characters from Legend of Galactic Heroes as queer, and particularly Yang as asexual and Siegfried Kircheis/Reinhard von Lohengramm as having had a sexual and romantic relationship. I don't specifically require it, but I am open to queer interpretations of the characters from Princess Tutu, including same-gender relationships and trans headcanons.
