Yuletide

I ended up not signing up for Yuletide. Since I missed nominations, there just weren't enough fandoms/characters that I felt passionate about requesting this year. But for me the point of Yuletide is writing as much as receiving, so I'm planning to write at least one treat--I've already seen some letters that intrigued me, and I'm kind of looking forward to doing Yuletide this way instead.

If someone should feel like writing something for me (totally not something I am expecting, though), this request from last year was the one I really would have liked to ask for this year:

Aubrey-Maturin series, by Patrick O'Brian (Diana Villiers)
I find Diana fascinating, and would love to read more about her. You could go pretty much anywhere (except character-bashing, and I would also prefer that you not break up Diana and Stephen) and I would be happy. Some concrete ideas: Diana/Clarissa has always struck me as an interesting possibility. Clarissa canonically doesn't enjoy sex with men; could it be because she's a lesbian? I am sure Diana and Stephen could come to some sensible arrangement for the times when they are apart. I would also love further exploration of Diana's relationship with Stephen; I really ship them together, especially in the later parts of the series. I also like Diana and Sophie together, but usually not in a slashy sense. (Though feel free to go there if you really ship them--actually, it would be cool with a sedoretu-style group marriage.) You could also write Diana gen, that would also be very welcome: Diana being competent, flamboyant, independent, emotional, and occasionally selfish, but also occasionally great-hearted. Or however you see her.
