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.)

Fandom: Alexa & Katie
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: Katie and Alexa being in love with each other, Gwenny having a crush on Alexa in the past and now they hate each other for whatever reason

Fandom: Blossom
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: asexual!Blossom and/or Six, aromantic!Six

Fandom: Degrassi: The Next Generation
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: Paige is canonically bisexual and she's canonically kissed Ellie, who is not bisexual but whom I personally believe should have been, Holly J. is strongly aromantic/a-spec coded

Fandom: Degrassi: Next Class
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: Zoe is canonically a lesbian, Grace is somehow both multisexual coded and aroace coded at the same time (either or both in fic is fine with me)

Fandom: Divergent Series - Veronica Roth
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: I see this trio (Christina, Tris, and Tobias) as bisexual + trans, with Tris optionally also being nonbinary

Fandom: Red Band Society
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: There were enough jokes about Kara being bisexual that they should have made her one (and crushing on Emma, like, it's all there)

Fandom: Roseanne
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: most queer headcanons/interpretations of Darlene's gender/sexuality are okay with me as long as she's not transmasc/a boy at any point in the fic (being masculine as a non-boy is perfectly fine)
