Queering the Tide 2025

[isabrella]

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.)

(many of these things are referenced in my letter!)

Fandom: Frasier
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: Really hoping someone will write me David (Niles's son) as queer because this is what I deserve in 2k25

Fandom: Midnight Burger
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: I forgot until I was relistening to Young Leif that Leif is like, GAY. I mean I knewww he was queer (Verge is always on my mind) but I forgot that he got to space, met this they/them alien of ambiguous gender and he was IN LOVE with them. Open to so much weird, queer and/or alienfucking content from the alienfucker himself <3 OR anything about Verge and their human relationships

Also, David and queerness!!! I don't have more prompts than this (unless it's Caspar meeting one of his boyfriends) but anything exploring that would be rad

Fandom: We Are Lady Parts
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: SO many of my prompts for this fandom are about Ayesha (a lesbian, hijabi Muslim woman in an all-Muslim, all-women rock/punk band)

Fandom: Pentecost & Parker
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: One of the mains (Will Parker) is canonically bi and that's explored throughout a few of the books (set in 1940s New York). More fic about the queer scene at the time, or just some f/f fic for Will, would be lovely.

Fandom: The Good Place
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: This isn't in my prompts but Eleanor is canonically bi. Do you wanna talk about it???
