My birthday is the 17th of this month, and I am greedy. Well, not really. I want some fairly simple things this year, albeit they may not be easy to get. My wishlist for this year’s birthday is:

1. Someone to buy me a kit from Herrschner's.They’ve had some great deals lately, and I’m tired of not having the money to take advantage of it. Le sigh.
   
2. Master the Single Brussles Stitch, also known as the detached buttonhole stitch. It seems like it should be fairly easy, and perhaps I’m doing it with the wrong weight thread, but it’s kicking my arse right now. And it plays a major part in my proposed stumpwork piece for my first SCA Arts & Sciences submission. So, you know, I kinda need to figure it out.
   
3. I’m dying for a long, meaty Mag7 ATF:AU (or Skip Trace, although that may not be possible since Charlotte wants to file the serial numbers off, iirc) casefic told from Chris’s point of view, where:
   
   
   
   1. Buck sees ghosts like they were solid people
      
   2. This turns out to be a major plot point/ help in figuring out the case
      
   3. Vin seriously starts questioning Buck’s sanity, and pulls some stupid stuff because of it
      
   4. JD is afraid of Buck after his gift is revealed
      
   5. Somewhere in the fic is the line: ‘The first time Chris caught Buck talking to a ghost, he almost had him medically discharged from the Navy.’ (This can be modified to fit the scenario if necessary)
      
   6. Adults or other kids in Buck's childhood were physically abusive, and he has the physical scars to prove it. Buck never discusses them with the others (but Chris knows about them)
      
   7. Bonus Points if this is a Chris/Buck fic
      
   8. Points squared if they have a safe-sane-consensual D/S relationship
      
   9. And cubed if that is also a central plot-point somehow…
      
   10. 100 million points if Josiah’s girlfriend is actually a pre-op transgender XY.
       
   11. A Gazillion Million Points Raised To The Infinite Power Times Infinity if you can then transfer all these plot-points into a novel-length Dragonriders of Pern fusion-fic, and make it believable.
       
4. And also, I’d love it if someone made me Dragonrider!7 icons.
   

Pretty please? Someone?
