 Dear Yuletide Author,

I'm blastellanos on AO3 and I'm really glad to get you as my author. <3 I can't wait to see the amazing story that you come up with and I hope your gift is as amazing as you are. 

My prompts are very touch and go, so if you have a great idea, go for it! My pairings are a little more set in stone, so please keep that in mind for your ideas! 



I'll go over my likes and dislikes and preferences before I get into the pairings and prompts. Overall, I'm not super hard to please, I'm just happy to participate and as long as you're happy, I'm happy! 

Likes and Preferences

I mostly like slash and gen but as some of these dues are married, I wouldn't mind their wives making an appearance. I love a lot of tropes, it's honestly easier to list things I don't want at all. 

No villainizing the wives of characters -- I hate that! If it's porn-- no A/B/O stuff, no mpreg, no bathroom stuff. Everything else is fine! 

I love romance, character pieces, emotional stories and angst but with a hopeful ending! I love found family stuff and AUs. 

Go wild though, otherwise! 

Pairing Specific Preferences (Keep in mind the prompts are suggestions but the pairings are not!) 

José Iglsias/James McCann -- dealing with their relationship after José hits free agency; single parent AU, specifically in the sense of a dating website meet-cute. 

James McCann/Daniel Norris -- James tries to get Daniel out of his own way. 

Nick Castellanos/James McCann -- they meet in the minors; when Jess McCann files for divorce, James goes to Nick to help come to terms with it. 

- 

Ginny Baker/Livan Duarte - Mike gets together with Amelia and feeling betrayed, Ginny goes with Livan to decompress; Ginny doesn't date ballplayers but that doesn't mean she and Livan can't have fun; Livan steps in when Ginny gets pregnant and the dad bails. 

Ginny Baker/Mike Lawson - anything goes. 

Livan Duarte/Mike Lawson - teaching the rookie. 

Pitch General Preference: Please do not have Ginny not be a player. Just do not. 

- 

Dan Rydell/Casey McCall - anything goes.

Again, I appreciate you participating and I can't wait for the gift to be revealed. <3 

Love,
