Chromatic Yuletide 2025

Chromatic Yuletide is a collection post for Yuletide requests that include characters of colour. Posting here doesn't obligate you to do anything, but it helps writers find your requests and treat you.

Posting requirements:

Your request centers around at least one character of colour.

(I acknowledge there are some shortcomings with the "person of colour" descriptor. I'm also not going to police who is or isn't a character of colour; please just use your best judgment.)

To participate, simply copy-paste the following into a comment:

AO3 name:
Letter link:

Characters:
What is it? description of canon or a link to a canon promo (optional)
What kind of thing am I requesting? also optional



If you post a fic for Yuletide with one or more POC characters, tag it with Chromatic Yuletide so people can find it easily!

Fandom: Star Trek: Lower Decks
Characters: Samanthan Rutherford
What kind of thing am I requesting? I want to know so much more about Rutherford! He's voiced by Filipino actor Eugene Cordero and in the one episode where we learn anything about his past a racing ship he built is named the Sampaguita, which is the national flower of the Philippines. Clearly his ancestry is important to him, or at least, the "old" version of him. How does "our" Rutherford feel about it? Who is Rutherford's family? What does any of this mean in the mono-culture of Starfleet?

Fandom: Some Like it Hot - Shaiman/Wittman & Shaiman/López & Ruffin
Characters: Jerry | Daphne
What is it? A musical adaptation of the 1959 movie
What kind of thing am I requesting? Daphne is a black trans woman and such a wonderful character. I would love to know more about she interacts with and understands all the aspects of her identity. The musical also makes Osgood Fielding mixed race, and his song, 'Mariposa,' is one of my favorites. The way the two of them can explore being themselves together is lovely.
