Dear Yuletide Writer:

First of all, thank so much for signing up to write any of my fandoms! I am so excited for Yultide. It is one of my favorite things of the year. I have tried to give prompts and information so hopefully there is something below that strikes your interest, but if not go with your muse and have fun.

While I do list for pairings I like for some fandoms, I would be just as happy with gen. My general likes and dislikes are below and I've added some notes to each fandom. I generally prefer things to level out at R rated, but for some of my prompts below, it can go further if you want. Or if you want to set up and fade to black that works for me as well.

Things I like in fic (not necessarily all together): lightness, humor, wistfulness, silliness, things that are reflective, fun, wacky hijinks, and getting into (and out of) trouble. I am a sucker for a happy ending.

Things I do not really like in fic: violence, animal harm, in story character death (things that deal with canon character death is okay), lots of darkness (a little is okay), non-con, and character bashing.

Call the Midwife

Characters:
Tom Hereward
Barbara Gilbert

Prompt:

I love this show so much, and I would love anything with these two. For specific prompts: Tom and Barbara out on a date, Tom and Barbara dealing with a crisis in poplar, a day out in the country where all sorts of things go wrong and they carry on and have a lovely day anyway, really anything light and fun (though I love how the show mixes light and fun with more serious issues, and that is welcome as well). I also love their interactions with the sisters and other nurses so please include anyone you need to make the story work.

Things I do not really like in fic: violence, animal harm, in story character death (things that deal with canon character death is okay), lots of darkness (a little is okay), non-con, and character bashing.

Additional notes:
I have watched this shows entire run twice and I love it so much. Every time I watch it I spot something new. I loved the original cast and I love how organic each new addition has been. I really like Barbara and I love her relationship as roomies with Nurse Crane, and how Sister Evangelina mentored her and I just like how the whole thing with her and Tom is playing out. I feel like they did a good job of addressing it the issues with Trixie. Also the scene with the brill cream in the parlor cracks me up.

Dark Matter (TV)

Characters:
Three | Marcus Boone
Five | Das

Prompt:

The interactions between Three and Five are fast becoming my favorite on the show. I would love a story about the two of them getting into and out of trouble. Wacky hijinks galone! I love her brain and the good qualities that he tries to pretend he doesn't have.

Please no ship fic on Five/Three. You can put Three with whomever else you want if you need it for the story to work.

Additional notes:
I am a complete and total multi-shipper on this show. When I say you can put three with whomever, I really mean it. One, the Android, Six, Four, etc.

I really love how Five has become sort of the compass for the crew of the raza and how she is just so smart. I also like her darker side (the "kill them all" and showing no hesitation in killing the transfer transit doubles of Three and Four when they were stealing the blink drive). And her relationship with the Android! I love it!

Madam Secretary

Characters:
Henry McCord
Elizabeth McCord
Russell Jackson

Prompt:

Henry and Elizabeth are one of my favorite married couples on TV. They both have these amazing high powered jobs and they manage to have a good marriage through the good, bad, and the ugly. I love Elizabeth's interactions with Russell and Henry's interactions with Russell and when the three of them team up, I love it. I would be happy with Henry/Elizabeth ship fic with a side of Russell or I would totally be down with a threesome. While I don't think either Elizabeth or Henry would cheat without the other, I could see the the two of them inviting in a third person, especially after a stressful situation, and I love how much Russell respects Elizabeth (and at the same time gets frustrated when she doesn't play ball).

Additional notes:
This show is just my happy place. It fills the hole left behind by the west wing. And I just love Elizabeth. And Henry. And their kids (for the most part). And her staff (especially Blake)! Having them all deal with a crisis would be fun as well if you want to go that route. I love Elizabeth's ability to manage crisis and I love it when she and Russell challenge each other and come to resolutions.



Characters:
Lemon Breeland
Lavon Hayes
Zoe Hart
Wade Kinsella

Prompt

I am so very very sad this show ended and I miss checking in with the residents of Bluebell, Alabama. I would love some post series finale fic with Zoe and Wade still living in the guest house and Lavon and Lemon married and living in the main house. Especially dealing with raising kids.

Or really anything about any combination of these four. I loved how Zoe and Lemon's relationship developed over the series and I really think they ended in a good place though I'm sure Lemon will never be able to avoid schemes and dragging Zoe into them or vice versa. and Lavon and Zoe - I loved that they just became fast friends!

I also would totally be cool with Lemon/Lavon or Wade/Zoe ship fic with a side of the other two. I loved it when Zoe and Wade were friends with benefits and how they carried that forward into a real relationship.

I also love everyone else in the town - Tom and Wanda and Annabelle and George, etc. Include anyone you need to make the story work.

Additional notes:
This show is just so fun and light and wacky and awesome. I have watched a lot of it twice, including the last season. I was very happy with how it all ended. Now I just want more!



Characters:
Lucy (Killjoys)
Johnny Jaqobis
Pawter Simms

Prompts:

I love Pawter and Johnny and Lucy and Johnny. I would love something that is Pawter/Johnny and Lucy keeps interrupting and just being the awesome ship that she is. Or Johnny and Lucy helping Pawter out. Add in any character you need to make it work - I like everyone in the tag set (especially Pree) and if you need others to make the plot work - go for it.

For specific prompts - something from when Pawter was stuck behind the wall and Johnny would come visit, or after Pawter took over her family and Johnny interacting with the other members of the Nine.

I would prefer something that occurs before the events at the end of the season that doesn't deal with what happened to Pawter. I'm burying my head in the sand on that one.

Additional notes:
I am in so much #denial about what happened to Pawter. I keep expecting her to just pop back up again. I love how she stayed in Westerly and fought for the people.

If you want to go back in time, go back to Pawter's first days in Westerly after she got banished - how she ended up at Pree's bar, more stories of her first times meeting Dutch and Johnny.

Or if you want to write a fic about her and Johnny chasing down a warrant with Dutch and Dav and Lucy and dealing with the fact Lucy loves Johnny and Lucy being silly about Pawter being on the ship.

Faking It (TV 2014)

Characters:
Felix Turner (Faking It)
Karma Ashcroft

Prompt:

I really liked how the end of last season played out between Karma and Felix and how they both kinda realized they liked each other at the end and dealing with their feelings for Amy. I would love a fic that explores what comes after - a crazy hook up, a mad cap caper, hiding in the closet to avoid being caught doing something they shouldn't have been doing (or being somewhere they shouldn't have been). I love the tone and humor mixed with serious issues.

Ship or gen is fine. I pretty much ship anyone/everyone in the show so do whatever you need, but if you want to go the ship fic route, I would like the primary ship in the fic to be Felix and Karma.

Also, I love Lauren and Shane to pieces and especially the developments with Lauren and Liam at the end of the season.

Additional notes:
I am a huge multi-shipper on this show. Karma/Amy, Karma/Liam, Amy/Felix, Karma/Felix, Lauren/Liam, Shane/Noah, Shane/Duke, Amy/Sabrina. I am super bummed this show was canceled because it just totally cracks me up and makes me smile and it handles tough issues and was just good. I will seriously take anything in this show.
