HP Single Mums Ficathon

Welcome and thank you, Yule Goat! Help yourself to some snacks of your choosing!

AO3: ChokolatteJedi

Things I love, in general:

• Tropes: aliens made us do it, cooking, dress uniforms/suiting up, glasses (and/or glasses!kink), goddesses/gods, goth or punk AUs
• Archetypes: antisocial geniuses, boys in eyeliner, chaotic neutral or similar characters, double agents, found families, geeks and geekery, spies, spunky chicks, team-as-family, tomboys, tough-on-the-outside bishies, tricks and tricksters
• Animals: animal sidekicks/pets, dragons, kitties, being adopted by the pet/familiar in question, other mythological creatures
• Dark: angst, apocalypses, bittersweet endings, blood, dark themes, death, dub-con, dystopias, evil cliffhanger endings, hurt/comfort, illness, insanity, unhappy endings, whump
• Light: comedy, fluff, happy endings, hijinks, shenanigans, shiny things, snark, sneaking, sparkly things, squee
• Queers: bi- or pansexuality, drag queens, established pairs bringing in a mutual third, OT3s, rainbow representation in all forms
• Relationships: gen, femslash, slash, het, multi
• Style: drabbles, drabble series, episoliary, IF, meta, ploty things, random little life/death snippets, worldbuilding

Things I DNW, in general:

• Subjects: animal cruelty, bashing requested characters, dentistry (seriously, no teeth pulling, dentist visits, those drill noises, none of it!), infidelity
• Kink: coprophilia/watersports/focus on bodily waste, explicit sex scenes/pwp, A/B/O, non-con
• Real Life: COVID, current events, glorified gay bashing, issuefic,** politics (fictional fantasy world political intrigue is fine as long as it doesn't mirror the US dumpster fire I'm living in)
• Style: 2nd Person POV, reader insert

** "issuefic" has a variety of meanings. My meaning: a story where the fact that something could be an issue is the focus. For example, if I ask for slash A/B, and they are in the military, a story about how they can't be out as gay because military - that's issuefic. If chara C is ace, a story about how her mother thinks that ace is a made up thing, or that gays should burn in hell - that's issuefic. They can be gay and fix the spaceship! Or they can be ace and win the spelling bee! Just, I don't want the story to be about how *whatever* is problematic or hard or dangerous in the wider sociopolitical context. I have real life for that. I hope that makes sense, and if you have any questions, please feel free to have the mods ask me for clarification.

Other things, in general:

• For canons where we know the characters as children, please age them to at least 15 before putting them in romantic relationships
• Feel free to treat my character matching as "or" not "and" — as long as one of my faves is there, I'll be happy!
• Generic potential spoiler warning for any and all canons that follow

The above may or may not apply to any of my current requests, which I'll detail now.

Request Fandom 1: Dragonriders of Pern – Anne McCaffrey
Menolly, Robinton, Sebell, Oldive

Request: Harpers! I'd love something set right after Menolly's second book, when she's in the hall and finding her place. Please treat as an OR request, and feel free to invite other Harpers like Piemur, Domick, and Silvina. And of course fire lizards!

More Details: Pretty much I always ask for Harpers, because the world just needs more Harper-fic. I realize that Oldive is not a Harper, but he lives in their Hall and plays a prominent roll in Dragonsinger. In addition to the time period mentioned above, Menolly or Sebell before coming to the Hall, anything in Robinton's or Oldive's history, or anything with any of them in the AIVIS era. Menolly/Sebell, Menolly/Robinton, Menolly/Robinton/Sebell or gen, please.


Request Fandom 2: The Outer Worlds (Video Game)
Any

Request: Okay, I love this game. I would love something character specific or something world building. ADA is so sassy and savage. So is Nyoka. Parvati is such a sweet, innocent, ace bean. Anything with them interacting with each other or with the others would be great. But also, what is it like to live in this world? What is it like to be a marauder, or an iconoclast, or to bend the rules on Groundbreaker or Monarch? Heck, what is it like to be a rapt or manti? Are they sentient at all? Gimmie! (Crueltide ok)

More Details: No characters were nominated, so feel free to focus on any or none of them. I do love Parvati, Nyoka, ADA, Ellie, and SAM the most. Sometimes the background conversations between the companions are hilarious, so anything exploring their interrelationships would be hilarious. Alternatively, pick any community in the 'verse and delve into it. There are hints of cannibalism and cruel experiments and vicious monsters, so if you want to explore the darker side, I'm all for that too. Crueltide ok. (See deets) Parvati/Nyoka, Parvati/Junlei, Parvati/Ellie, Nyoka/Ellie, ADA/SAM, ADA/Parvati, Felix/Max and gen are all great.


Request Fandom 3: iZombie (TV)
Liv Moore Ravi Chakrabarti

Request: I love the friendship between these two, especially in the early seasons. The way he figures out her secret, but then geeks out about it. The way they try to science the shit out of zombieism. The playful banter about brains and bodies and video games and pop culture and whatever. Whey they try to go "undercover" to get info on the blue cobras and are just the worst at it! Just anything with these dorks having fun together would be great! (Crueltide ok)

More Details: Basically, I just want more of these two and their morgue shenanigans. Ravi is this brilliant mix of skeptic scientist and geek who believes in the impossible. Liv is just so full on ennui until Ravi lets her know that she's not alone. He is the only one that knows her secret all through the series, and he's got her back, even in the most unconventional ways. (See above re: blue cobra disaster). Ravi/Liv, Liv/Major, Ravi/Peyton, Liv/Peyton, Ravi/Major and gen are all great. On the other hand, zombies gonna zombie, so Crueltide ok. (See deets)


Request Fandom 4: Askewniverse
Bartleby, Loki

Request: I really just want Bartleby and Loki, being themselves, in their quasi couple-y way, going through history on earth. When did Loki want to kill people? When did Bartleby go off on one of his lecture tangents? What was their perspective on certain historical events?

More Details: I love this duo, and how they have so much in common and yet some very big differences. Their arcs through the movie are compelling. Loki seems to have nothing but a "hard on for killing" and yet at the end is the one who wants to stop killing. Bartleby is theoretically the logical one, but by the end is just determined to blaze forward. Anything looking at that would be great. But also, these two have been living together on Earth for centuries, right? What shenanigans have they been getting up to? Like, they were supposedly banished to Wisconsin, but we see them travel in the movie, so it seems that they can make short jaunts, yeah? So pick a time, a place, a historic event, and plonk one or both of our duo there. :) Gen or Bartleby/Loki, please. :) Crueltide ok. (See deets)


Request Fandom 5: Are You Being Served?
Any

Request: I only selected Mr. Humphries, but any of the others are welcome to come out and play as well. I grew up watching this show, and Mr. Humphries holds such a special place in my heart. I love his outrageous costumes and excuses for them. I love the way he practically sings "I'm free" and then deepens his voice to say "Menswear." I love how campy he is and the expressions he gives the camera when he breaks the fourth wall. I'd love something set in the store, like a typical episode. Or one of his hijinks that lead to him showing up to work in a crazy outfit and having to explain to Mr. Lucas what happened. Go nuts! :D

More Details: I grew up watching this show; it was one of my first British comedies and started me on the path that led to Fawlty Towers and Monty Python. Thus, it holds a very special place in my heart. And Mr. Humphries is the specialest. I'd love something like an episode, with the hijinks and shenanigans that they get up to. Or, like I said, what he gets up to in his off hours. Pick a crazy outfit and figure out how to get him into it! (And of course who was trying to get him out of it. ;) ). In that sense, Mr Humphries/OMC is fine, in a regaling-the-others-with-his-tale kind of way, but I'd rather it not be all about the guy, you know? Other than that, Gen is great, and implied offscreen relationships are fine.

Request Fandom 6: Ghost Soup Infidel Blue 
Any

Request: Okay, what I really want here is an alternative POV of the octopi saga from Indigo. They had to be more than mindless drones under the control of Dr. Zoill. I mean, what was their motivation? From their own POV? What were they fighting for? Alternatively Moira/Angela/Angela's Clone girly night sexy times with sensual, UST-filled massages and mani-pedis. There could even be pillow fights! (Crueltide ok)

More Details: I just really want tentacle-y fun, you know? Octopus/Octopus, Octopus/Zoill, Moira/Angela/Angela's Clone, Angela/Angela's Clone and Angela's Clone/Ship are all my jam. Plus gen, I suppose. If, you know, you're into that. The ship obviously is the most important character, and should always be the focus. Crueltide ok. (See deets)


Additionally, browsing me on AO3 will lead you to my writings, including stuff in Pern, iZombie, Ghost Soup, and Dogma, if you think that would be helpful or fun. :D

I think that's everything! Thanks so much!!!

As usual, I am going to liberally copy and paste much from past letters. :D

Things I love, in general: Aliens made us do it, amazing hair, angst, animal sidekicks/pets, antisocial geniuses, bi- or pansexuality, blood, boys in eyeliner, chaotic neutral or similar characters, chocolate, comedy, cooking, dark themes, death, dragons, drag queens, dress uniforms/suiting up, double agents, dub-con, evil cliffhanger endings, femslash, fluff, geekboys, geekery, geekgirls, gen, glasses (and/or glasses!kink), goddesses/gods, goth or punk AUs, happy endings, het, hijinks, hurt/comfort, illness, insanity, kitties, meta, OT3s, ploty things, random little life/death snippets, shenanigans, shiny things, slash, snark, sneaking, sparkly things, spies, spunky chicks, squee, tomboys, tough-on-the-outside bishies, tricks and tricksters, unhappy endings, whump… and more, I'm sure.

Things I dislike, in general: character bashing, glorified gay bashing (where the basher doesn't get comeuppance later), cheating on partners, dental practice AUs, non-con, pwp, graphic sex scenes, scatology, watersports.

Other things, in general: You may treat my character requests as "OR" requests, not "And" requests. That is, if I request A, B and C, and you have a great idea for just B, go for it!

Oh, and because I know some people are tetchy about it: if you would like to attempt a Misses Claus fill or a Chromatic fill with one of my prompts, that's cool. :D

Author, if you saw that I posted in the Crueltide post, but you just can't do darkfic, please don't worry. I would genuinely love any of my lighter prompts! :D

The above may or may not apply to any of my current requests, which I'll detail now.

Request Fandom 1: Tricksters - Tamora Pierce
Alianne Cooper, Dovasary Balitang

Request: Basically I am so starved for anything in this fandom that I'll take whatever you give me. Aly being sneaky and awesome? Done! Aly and Nawat being all adorable together? Fantastic! Aly and Dove being all awesome and/or perhaps slighty shippy together? Love! Dove getting her imperial groove on and showing someone not to underestimate this young girl? Gimmie! Aly and Taybur talking spy-speak together? Sweet! Kyprioth sending them off on another task/adventure? Wonderful!

Again, those're just a few thoughts off the top of my head. I will really take ANYTHING you are willing to give me in this world. (Obviously you don't have to include Nawat, Taybur, or Kyprioth, but just throwing them in as ideas. :D )

**If you get stuck and want to read these, Aly and Dove only appear in the two Trickster's books: Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen. It is entirely possible to write about these characters without having read the other three Tortall quartets, and if you wrote a story set in/before Choice, then you would only have to read one of them. **

I love the Trickster series best of all the Tortall Books. Anything based around these characters, either before, during, or after the books would be great! I also love the entire Tortall world for the amazingly strong, well detailed, and so very different from each other female characters!

I love Aly's love of life and the pleasure she gets from doing spy things. Her depth of knowledge and sneaky ways are very impressive. Her way of living with one finger stuck in everyone else's business while seeming to be nowhere near them is great as well. In Choice, the way she moves between the family, the conspirators, and her day job with the goats and crows and Kyprioth is fascinating. In Queen, the way she knows what everyone is doing, including her fellows, by way of the darkings is fabulous. The way she moves in the shadows for so long and then all of a sudden there is a huge result (a la Topabaw) is fascinating. And her personality in general I just adore.

I love how calculating Dove is; she thinks before she speaks and she always wants to learn more about everything. The loyalty/friendship/potentially love between her and Aly is fabulous to watch as it develops. I also love the differences between her and Sarai, and how the Raka have to get used to her. As a bookworm myself, her quieter personality, and the way various people interpret it, really hit home with me.

I would love anything set during or after the books. Gen, Aly, Dove, Aly/Dove, Aly/Nawat, Dove/Aly/Nawat, even Aly/Kyprioth or Aly/Nawat/Kyprioth if it pleases you (I truly have no preference among all those options). Any scenes from within the rebellion, Dove and Aly talking late at night, Dove being queen, Aly being spymaster, Kyprioth interfering in either of those two jobs, Kyprioth making another wager with/assignment for Aly and Dove… or whatever you can think of.

Request Fandom 2: Dragonriders of Pern – Anne McCaffrey
Menolly, Sorka Hanrahan, Emily Boll, Silvina

Request: Right off the bat, feel free to only write about one or two of these characters. No need to try to include all four in one fic. :)

Menolly and Silvina:
For Menolly, anything! I'd love something set between Dragonsinger and Dragondrums; more of her coming into her own as a Harper. Or even something set later – obtaining her Mastery, becoming a mother, the excitement of AIVIS, life many years after AIVIS as the world deals with his changes, Harpers leading the way… anything! For Silvina, oh my god the tragedy of her life with Robinton! Always competing with his memories, Camo's issues... And still she is this amazing strong woman who makes her own choices and goes after Robinton knowing she'll never have his whole heart and competently runs the hall, and everything! She rocks my world! Anything set at any time in her life! (Also, what was life like for her once Robinton retired and the Menolly/Sebell generation took over? Did she retire south and take care of the Robinton trio or did she go do something on her own? Did she stay at the Hall and take care of the next generation of Harpers, or go on to Landing and learn something new? Write me anything! :D

Sorka and Emily:
I really love anything about the Landing era. Or the post-landing era. Anything in her lifetime. I love Sorka, Sean, Sallah, Pol and Bay, Emily and Paul, and all of the other initial dragonriders. So any of them popping up would be fun! For Sorka, I'd love something set either during Sorka's childhood, during the missing 8 years, or during the time just after the transition North, when they're getting the idea of a weyr together. For Emily, anything from her life before the Pern trip, those missing 8 years, or trying to deal with the resettlement north and the injuries and such. But really, anything else in either woman's lifetime would be great too, as I said.

**Sorka and Emily only appear in Dragonsdawn, which is essentially the prequel book to the entire Dragonriders world. So if you'd like to jump into this one, there's really only one book that you'd need to read/review. Menolly and Silvina are featured in several books, namely the Dragonsong/singer duo and All the Weyrs of Pern for Menolly and Dragonharper and Dragonsinger for Silvina. Again, only a few books for each woman, and easy to jump in without reading the rest of the series.**

More Details:
Sorka and Emily:
So yes, Dragonsdawn is one of my favorite Pern books, and I want to smish Sorka. But really, the main thing is THE EIGHT YEAR GAP! I mean, I know there was so much story to tell after that, and you had to get to thread and dragons and North and whatnot, but I'd really just love more of those first 8 (relatively) idyllic years. Show Sorka and the others growing up. Does she ever make friends with the other kids besides Sean? (Maybe future riders?) When does Sean realize what she might mean to him? Vet shenanigans! Dragonet shenanigans! Emily settling into life on Pern, dating Piere, hanging out with some of the other older generation, etc. Maybe Sorka and Emily run into each other for some reason?

Alternatively, I'd love to see something from the ending. They make it North and there's this triumphant Fall over Fort and then… Nothing. Okay, but somehow they had to create the Weyr and Emily and Paul at Fort, and the injuries, and all of those traditions and there was the first mating flight and how did Sorka and Sean become THE leaders and their kids and new colors of dragon and did anyone else besides the riders, like Pol and Bay, live at the Weyr as the first weyrfolk, or or or… *sigh* So much that could happen, so few words! If you ship, Sorka/Sean, Sorka/Catherine, Emily/Paul, or Emily/Piere, please. No cross-generation ships, please.

Menolly and Silvina
I love love love Dragonsinger, and that time period in the Harper Hall. I love Menolly's group with Sebell, Talmor, and Domick. I love the mentorship relationship with Menolly and Robinton, and also the kind of mentorship/mother relationship between Menolly and Silvina. I'd love anything set in that era!

For Silvina, there's this whole life that she's lived that we've only seen on the fringes of Robinton and Menolly's stories. What else happens in that Hall? You know she runs the place, like her mother. How was that transition? What other shenanigans has Silvina had to deal with? Or just a day in the life for her surrounded by these artist types.

I just don't even think I can express how much I love Harpers, and this period of Pern History, and the Harper Hall, and oh, Peimur and Robinton and Sebell and anyone else are welcome to come to the party too! If you ship, Menolly/Sebell, Menolly/Talmor, Menolly/Peimur, or Robinton/Silvina please. No cross-generation ships, please.

o)(O)(o

Request Fandom 3: Gunnerkrigg Court
Reynardine, Coyote

Request: I'd love more from the past, with Rey and Coyote getting up to hijinks! Or perhaps one of them getting up to hijinks now! Rey is slowly changing, thanks to Annie; maybe how does coyote feel about that? Again, feel free to treat these as "Or" not "And." I'd love a story about either one of them alone, too! :D

**This is a webcomic, and each of these characters appears throughout, but have a few personal arcs that you could focus on. All in all, just a few hours worth of reading to get into this.**

More Details:
I love tricksters, and both of these characters fall into that niche for me. At the same time, they are both these big strong appearing characters, who are really softies when it comes to Annie. Rey more than Coyote, but still. They've both obviously got a long history with the woods and the court, so I'm sure there are plenty of interesting stories from that era. I also love the sneak peaks we get into what Rey does when Annie and Kat are in classes. His tea parties and such must be the stuff of legends! Little Rey getting up to hijinks in the school and then being back in time to greet the girls would also be great! :D Robot, Shadow, Annie, Kat, and Ysengrin are of course welcome to come play too!

If you ship, Reynardine/Coyote, unrequited Rey/Surma, unrequited Rey/Antimony, or unrequited Ysengrin/Coyote please.

o)(O)(o

Request Fandom 4: Cracked: After Hours
Any

Request: I am not-so-secretly addicted to this youtube series! I love the character interactions, I love the geeky references, and I love the hints of subtext/backstory! Poor Dan's issues and obsession with Spiderman! Soren's obsession with perfection (and maybe Daniel ;) )! Michael's inappropriateness and obsession with food! Katie's feminism and gothy tendancies! I love it all! I'd love to see what happens before or after the After Hours, or an AH-like episode!

**This is a web series, with most episodes coming in under ten minutes. So in the time it would take you to watch a normal movie you can crank through a dozen of these.**

More Details: Okay, so this is about as close to RPF as I get. I mean, I know that CAH are personas, but they are close to the real people, too. So what I'm saying is that you are an RPFer you can feel free to include real life stuff for them and I will think you are very clever, but the ties to their real selves will just go over my head. :D

Okay, with that disclaimer out of the way, on to what I love. I love the fact that these are just four best friends/frenemies/people whiling away their time until they inevitably drift apart (as Soren likes to think) who just gather around to talk meta. I love that there are rules (sometimes) but that the person demanding to adhere to them changes (Usually Daniel, but Katie in that epilogue episode that Soren derails. JUMANJI!).

Michael's occasional insightfulness (calling that racism in Forest Gump thing without even seeing it!) is also fun, as is his usual oblivious dofusness (I already took the red pill. Put ranch on it!). Dan's issues are hilarious to watch, especially in the episodes where they specifically tear into him. (The wooing episode, the cops episode, the zombie episode: "You all've been zombies for weeks. Months for some of you." "Sure.")

I love Soren's jock tendancies, and how he every so often lets them slip aside and lets his inner geek come out. (Though, as he states in the comicon episode, he isn't "out" as a geek, like them). :D Katie's alternating between sweet and girly (Katie's House of Pies and Little Cat Pies) and bloodthirsty and vicious ("There's brain and blood spatter, and everything! It's the best!") is probably my favorite!

Also, the background characters are great, like that guy-who-works-here-but-also-at-the-other-diner (which mysteriously burned down and Michael had nothing to do with it, he swears!). Ooh, and what about the blue gloves at the end of the Firefly episode! I would read the heck out of that AU-verse!

Also, I love how each of them had to go through that episode where their love was torn down: Batman/Bond for Soren, Spidy for Dan ("I'm Spiderman in mine"), Star Trek for Michael, and... come to think of it, I don't think Katie's had this episode, though she got close to it when she teamed up with Dan...

If you ship, Dan/Soren (those looks! so close to being canon!), Soren/Katie (all the subtext in the Batman episode!), Dan/Michael (the Mario episode!), Dan/Soren/Katie/Michael (Because why not?) please.

o)(O)(o

Request Fandom 5: The IT Crowd
Maurice Moss

Request: I love Moss! He is just too zany and out there. My favorite episode his hands down "The Final Countdown." "I've come here to drink milk, and kick ass. And I've just finished my milk." (I *died* of glee) I love the way Moss talks, the way he thinks, his absurd lying, and the way he is sometimes so ridiculously competent and sometimes so insanely not. :D I'd love something with Moss (and/or Roy, and/or Jen and/or Richmond) getting up to shenanigans and hijinks.

**This is a relatively short TV series, but it does take a couple of episodes to really get the characters. Especially Moss. ;) Each season is only six episodes long, however, so you can get through a season pretty quickly.**

More Details: I don't actually have much more for this one. :P I love Moss. I love Countdown. I love Roy and Richmond. I like Jen. I love the zany ideas and hijinks that Moss and Roy come up with. I also love the zany idea and hijinks that the Reynholms always come up with to make the boys miserable. I love the website to teach them to talk like real men. I love the time Moss plays DM for the VIPs. I love the way Roy (and to a lesser extent Moss) always get hurt. I love the fact that Moss's first reaction in a panic situation when the cops approach is to wildly kiss Roy. And that even after being called on it, a few minutes later his reaction is still the same. Do I spy a ship? I think I do! And if not, then gen please. :D Though, now that I'm thinking about it though, Moss/Richmond could be really interesting (maybe Moss worked late one night and things happened) - with the way the boys panic about the door... Ooh! What's behind the other door in that episode?

Request Fandom 6: Are You Being Served?
Mr. Humphries

Request: I only selected Mr. Humphries, but any of the others are welcome to come out and play as well. I grew up watching this show, and Mr. Humphries holds such a special place in my heart. I love his outrageous costumes and excuses for them. I love the way he practically sings "I'm free" and then deepens his voice to say "Menswear." I love how campy he is and the expressions he gives the camera when he breaks the fourth wall. I'd love something set in the store, like a typical episode. Or one of his hijinks that lead to him showing up to work in a crazy outfit and having to explain to Mr. Lucas what happened. Go nuts! :D

**This one is a bit harder to get into for the first time, as it is a 10 season TV series, and the disks can be hard to find, but many episodes are on youtube. Fortunately you can grasp the concept and the basics of the characters just from watching a few half-hour episodes. But basically, if you skim the Wikipedia and watch any, say 3 or 4 episodes - or aprox the length of a regular movie - you'll know pretty much all you need to, to write for this one.**

More Details: I grew up watching this show; it was one of my first British comedies and started me on the path that led to Fawlty Towers and Monty Python. Thus, it holds a very special place in my heart. And Mr. Humphries is the specialest.

I'd love something like an episode, with the hijinks and shenanigans that they get up to. Or, like I said, what he gets up to in his off hours. Pick a crazy outfit and figure out how to get him into it! (And of course who was trying to get him out of it. ;) ). Also, please don't feel that the shorness of this entry reflects how much I care about this fandom. I really really do love it; I just don't have more to say about this awesome show! :D

Additionally, browsing me on AO3 will lead you to my writings, including stuff in Pern, Tortall, and Cracked AntiherOs, if you think that would be helpful or fun. :D

I think that's everything! Thanks so much!!!

Yuletide!!! *flails* My holiday season is now officially underway! I am going to liberally copy and paste much from past letters. :D

Things I love, in general: Aliens made us do it, amazing hair, angst, animal sidekicks/pets, antisocial geniuses, bi- or pansexuality, blood, boys in eyeliner, chaotic neutral or similar characters, chocolate, comedy, cooking, dark themes, death, dragons, drag queens, dress uniforms/suiting up, double agents, dub-con, evil cliffhanger endings, femslash, fluff, geekboys, geekery, geekgirls, gen, glasses (and/or glasses!kink), goddesses/gods, goth or punk AUs, happy endings, het, hijinks, hurt/comfort, illness, insanity, kitties, meta, OT3s, ploty things, random little life/death snippets, shenanigans, shiny things, slash, snark, sneaking, sparkly things, spies, spunky chicks, squee, tomboys, tough-on-the-outside bishies, tricks and tricksters, unhappy endings, whump… and more, I'm sure.

Things I dislike, in general: character bashing, glorified gay bashing (where the basher doesn't get comeuppance later), cheating on partners, dental practice AUs, non-con, pwp, scatology, watersports.

Other things, in general: You may treat my character requests as "OR" requests, not "And" requests. That is, if I request A, B and C, and you have a great idea for just B, go for it!

Oh, and because I know some people are tetchy about it: if you would like to attempt a Misses Claus fill or a Chromatic fill with one of my prompts, that's cool. :D

Author, if you saw that I posted in the Crueltide post, but you just can't do darkfic, please don't worry. I would genuinely love any of my lighter prompts! :D

The above may or may not apply to any of my current requests, which I'll detail now.

Request Fandom 1: Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce
Keladry of Mindelan

Request: I'd love a missing scene from Kel's page/squire years. Something with Neal and her group of friends, or a moment with Raoul or the men of the Own. Or perhaps something from her second year as a Knight. I'd love something set in New Hope, maybe with Neal, Owen, Tobe, Raoul, Dom, or anyone else you'd like to add. Could Kel one day take on a squire of her own? Or train young girls in some other fashion? Just give me something Kel-centric and I'll love it!

**If you get stuck and want to read these, Kel's first two books are very short. Squire and Lady Knight can be read on their own with minimal confusion – in fact, Squire is the first Tortall book I ever read, and I didn't even realize there were two quartets and two Kel books I'd totally missed until I finished and looked at the back jacket. :D **

More Details: I love Kel's strength through everything. Not physically, though she's got that too, but her unwavering dedication to her goal. I love her quiet sense of humor, and her amused tolerance of Neal's wild antics, and her compassion for others. I love how she takes on Tobe, and Jump, and the Sparrows, and Owen, and everyone else she "adopts" at one point.

I love her friendships with Neal and the other boys, and her motherly ways towards Lalasa, the younger pages, and Tobe. I love her mentor-student relationship with Raoul, and the hints of one with Alanna (what about that moment Aly dreamt of – does Kel finally get to hang out with Alanna for a while?). I love the hints of a relationship with Dom, and that would be a great thing to explore. Also the comradery with the men of the Own or the Haven convicts/soldiers/people.

As I said, I'd love a missing scene from her Page or Squire years. Maybe something with Neal, or Lalassa, or the Sparrows. Maybe a moment with Edna the Wildcat.

Or, something from her future as a Lady Knight. How long was she at New Hope? What happened there as the war drew on? Was she ever assigned elsewhere? Was she ever injured in battle? What happened afterwards? Did she and Dom ever hook up? How did her relationships with Tobe and the Haven/New Hope people evolve/stay the same? Gimmie gimmie!

If you ship, Kel/Dom or Kel/Lalasa please. No cross-generation ships, please.

Request Fandom 2: M*A*S*H
Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce

Request: I love Hawkeye! I think there is so much depth to him, and he's really got levels to explore. He's also witty, hilarious, crazy, and adorable. I love the dynamic he has with Margaret through the series, and also his dynamics with Trapper and BJ. These can all lean towards shippy or platonic. I also love Hawkeye and Trapper/BJ/Klinger/Radar getting up to hijinks, and Radar being awesome. Potter, Henry, Mulcahy and Sidney are welcome to come along for the ride. And Frank or Charles too of course. A fic set during any season, with any supporting cast, but focused around Hawkeye would be fabulous!

**This one is a bit harder to get into for the first time, as it is an 11 season TV series, and the disks can be hard to find, but fortunately you can grasp the concept and the basics of the characters just from watching a few half-hour episodes. With the exception of the first handful of episodes of season 1, when they were still ironing out the characters, they are fairly consistent throughout, excepting the magical ability to spawn and then erase stateside siblings like there's no tomorrow. Also people who have been in the show since season 1 are discovering that their wives are magically pregnant 3 seasons later, but that's what happens when you stretch a 3 year period over 11 seasons, so I can forgive it. But basically, if you skim the Wikipedia and watch any, say 3 or 4 episodes - or aprox the length of a regular movie - you'll know pretty much all you need to, to write for this one.**

More Details: This is another one that I will continue to request, though I did get an awesome gift in it a few years back. But there will never be enough Hawkeye! ;) My favorite episodes of MASH are the ones that focus on Hawkeye, Radar, pranks, or throwing Margaret and Hawkeye together in tough circumstances. Oh, and poker nights, especially on the rare occasion that Sidney or Margaret join the game. I love the will they/won't they relationship between Margaret and Hawkeye, the paternal/minion relationship between Hawk and Radar, and the friends/brothers relationship between Hawk and Trapper/BJ/Sidney/Sometimes Charles.

I love Carry On Hawkeye, where he's faced with the Herculean task of taking care of the entire sick camp with just Radar and the nurses for help while he himself slowly succumbs to it. I also like Aid Station, Bug Out and all the other episodes where Hawkeye, Margaret, and Radar/Klinger are left behind/sent to the front/whatever. Pranking and bet-related episodes and Hawkeye and BJ/Trapper's war against Frank/Charles are also fun times.

If you're in the mood for some deep thinking, I love when the show goes all psychological on Hawkeye. For example: the episode where he goes crazy because of his suppressed memories, the one where he pretends to go crazy to get a trip to Tokyo, any of the ones where he loses a patient and freaks out, Sons and Bowlers with Hawkeye and Charles, and essentially the whole of the last few episodes.

Basically I love Hawkeye, and anything that focuses on him and/or his relationship with the others would be marvelous, but I would especially love an episodic type piece where hijinks ensue.

If you ship, Hawkeye/Margaret, Hawkeye/Trapper, or Hawkeye/BJ please.

Request Fandom 3:
Jack Carter

Request: Something set early in the series please, before they started messing with timelines and getting all crazy.

Jack! Jack driving Jo or Nathan crazy! Jack being driven crazy by SARAH/Zoe/Fargo/Nathan/anyone in this town! Jack and Zane WhiteCollar-esque banter! Vincent or Henry being friends with Jack. Will-they-won't-they with Jack and Alison or Nathan or both! Or Jack, gen, just chilling or doing paperwork or anything.

Basically give me something Jack-centric in this world and I will be a happy camper! :)

**Again, this is a TV show with a few seasons to it (though not as many as MASH) but Jack is the main character, so he's easy to find. And, as I said in the prompt, I'd love something from early in the show, so you'd only need to watch the first handful of episodes and not worry about any future spoilery backstory or anything, and I'd be thrilled with it I'm sure!**

More Details: Yes, I love Jack. I got a lovely drabble for him last year and I want more! :D I love how at sea he is in this strange geeky world, and how he deals with the constant inferiority complex of being a 'norm' in a town full of geniuses. I also love how so often his 'dumb-guy normal' ideas so often save the day. His desire to just do his job, go home and drink a beer to the game without all of these shenanigans is just never, NEVER, going to go right, and I love that frustration for him.

Also, the frequent whump/why am I invisible/Why am I the only one who can dismantle the bomb/etc plays right into my H/C kink, so feel free to go there too. :D

Anything in the tone of the show would be great, but if you wanted to get meta about his place in Eureka and his life as a norm and what have you, and really get into the deep thinking, I'd enjoy that too. But if that isn't your thing, lighthearted bantery/fluffy like the show is great too!

If you ship, Jack/Nathan, Jack/Allison, or Nathan/Jack/Allison please.

Request Fandom 4: Warm Bodies (2013)
Any (R, Julie Grigio, Nora, Marcus)

Request: Oh my god I love this movie! I would love literally anything set before or during or after the movie (well, that pretty much covers all my bases, doesn't it ;) ). How did the outbreak start? What was anyone's life like before the outbreak? What was anyone's life like after the outbreak but before the movie? How did they exhume the world? Was there a happily ever after? You totally don't have to include all four characters in one story. Just one or two is fine too.

**This movie is short and sweet and wonderful and very easy to get into. :D **

More Details: Er, pretty much what it says on the tin. I love love love this movie and just want more from this universe. I love the campy nature of it, and the hesitant voiceover from R, and the hints of a past from everyone. I love the ending, with the humans and corpses fighting together against the Boneys, and the slow rehabilitation of the not-quite-dead-yet. I also love the music, and the quirky humor, and basically just everything!

So, for prompts: who were these people before the outbreak? What happened when all of a sudden zombies! and WTF, and becoming either a survivor or a corpse. (Feel free to get a bit bloody with that, if you want. This is a zombie movie, after all).

Obviously several years have gone by since the outbreak, so what were any of these folk up to during that time? Or what about after the movie? How do they exhume the world? Who is involved? Whatever happened with Marcus and the umbrella girl? What did Nora do? Did she find her own former zombie boyfriend? What did Julie and R do? Did Mr. Grigio ever warm up (hee) to R?

Also, worldbuilding is great for this one. Focusing on someone (minor chara or OC) other than the main crew an how they dealt with this insanity would be lovely. Or strait up person-less worldbuilding, if that's your thing. :D

If you ship, R/Julie, Julie/Nora, R/M, or OCs are fine too please.

Request Fandom 5: Dragonriders of Pern – Anne McCaffrey
Menolly, Robinton, Sebell, Talmor

Request: Harper quartet! Thank you to whoever nominated this group! I'd love something set right after Menolly's second book, when she's in the hall and finding her place. Alternatively, something from before she came – what was life in the Harper Hall like for one or both of the boys? Or life before? Or anything from Robinton's life! You totally don't have to include all four characters in one story. Just one or two is fine too.

**Talmor only appears in Dragonsinger, which also features the other three, and is really the time period I'm interested in. So if you'd like to jump into this one, there's really only one book that you'd need to read/review. Reading Dragonsong first would give a bit more to Menolly's backstory, too. Alternatively, something from Robinton's life when he's a bit younger would mean reading Dragonharper, but again, easy to jump in without reading the rest of the series.**

More Details:
I love love love Dragonsinger, and that time period in the Harper Hall. I love Menolly's group with Sebell, Talmor, and Domick. I love the mentorship relationship with Menolly and Robinton, and also the kind of mentorship/sibling relationship between Menolly and Sebell and/or Talmor. I'd love anything set in that era!

Something from right before Menolly got to the Hall, focusing on one of the boys could also be great. How did Sebell or Talmor come to the Hall? What was their life like before? How did they feel about walking the tables? Ooh, or what was the conversation when Sebell and Talmor each refused to give way in walking Menolly?

Or anything in Robinton's life. I love love love him and his so so tragic backstory and dear god Anne what were you trying to do to me in that book!!! So yes, anything else with him! (and I know his book actually sort of covers Sebell coming to the Hall, but elaborating on that or handwaving it if you have a cooler idea;) )

I just don't even think I can express how much I love Harpers, and this period of Pern History, and the Harper Hall, and oh, Peimur and Silvina and anyone else are welcome to come to the party too!

If you ship, Menolly/Sebell, Menolly/Talmor, Menolly/Peimur, or Robinton/Silvina please. No cross-generation ships, please.

Request Fandom 6: To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)
Vida Boheme, Noxeema

Request: I'd love something from before the movie, exploring the friendship between these two, or either one of them first exploring their lovely drag queen selves. Alternatively, after the movie, now that they're older and wiser, how do they proceed? Is coming back home to their life in New York a shock after those few days in the country? Or is it business as usual? If your muse isn't feeling both ladies, feel free to only write about one or the other.

**Again, a single movie, so watch it! :D**

More Details: Okay, so my queer little heart absolutely loves this movie. Just, to-die-for loves it. I really would love any *any* thing you could write here. But yes, pretty much what I said on the tin. I'd love some back story for the ladies. It is clear at the start of the movie that they have some history, though clearly they aren't always on the same page with everything else. How did they meet? Or how did they become *the* Vida Boheme and Noxeema?

Or, what is the fallout from the movie? Their worlds were so completely turned on ear by that week of crazy, and there has to be some moment of reconciliation later. Or do they (or one of them) return to Snydersville one day?

No Chi-Chi please.

Also, thanks to the Crueltide post, I now kind of want to see Vida and Noxie in a zombie or outbreak apocalypse. I know they'd find a way to make it fabulous! :D

If you ship, Vida/Noxie please.

Additionally, browsing me on AO3 will lead you to my writings, including stuff in MASH, Pern, Eureka, Warm Bodies, and Tortall, if you think that would be helpful or fun. :D

I think that's everything! Thanks so much!!!
