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 so do 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.)

I would like to see Mensah/Pin-Lee or emotionally onesided Mensah/Pin-Lee playing up Pin-Lee's yearning and the pedestal they put her on. Their devotion to her and the mutual care and understanding between them is interesting to me, especially in light of their canon insecurities/anxieties and boundary issues. Pin-Lee is canonically non-binary, and it would be nice to see Mensah written trans, too.

I would like to see Klak/Sleech, especially fluffy early relationship vibes that highlight their mutual care for each other and how well they know each other (they are canon long-time best friends). It would also be nice to see emotional hurt/comfort vibes in light of Sleech's season 2 health issues and interpersonal insecurities. I'd also like to see an established dynamic set a bit post-canon. A T4T angle on these two would also be lovely to see.
