Christmas Comment!fics [2011]

[soera]

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Last year, I offered comment!fic in a number of fandoms as a Christmas present to all you lovely folk out there. I got some wonderful prompts and really enjoyed myself writing ficlets for them, so I’ve decided to do the same this year. For those of you who don’t know how this works, let’s go over things:

[Hee! Something Asian, though none of the places you guessed~
Also, this turned out much sadder than I thought it would be. Hope it works for you anyway? *sheepish*]

sorrows know how to swimIanto considers the question, then reaches for the salt

[trialanderror12]

Awwwwww. : ( Sad, so sad, but really well done. I love this pairing. <3 And poor, poor Ianto! (Eternally poor Jack, but in this case...oh Ianto. *sigh*) Also I love the way you kept Jack's question from us til the end, and revealed it by Ianto calling it a repeat-question. Really well done, writing-wise. ^^

Loved it! Even as it broke my heart. :)

This is so nice! I'd love to read about Steve/Danny on a ski or snowboarding trip!

[soera]

lesson #1

Steve moves a few feet, then falls over in a heap of limbs and skis and poles. Danny’s still cackling with glee when Steve finally manages to untangle himself and gingerly get to his feet again.

“You’re enjoying this far too much,” Steve tells Danny.

“I’m enjoying this the same way you enjoyed my surfing lessons,” Danny replies.

“Did you grow up skiing?” Steve asks. Does New Jersey have skiing? He thinks it does, but he really isn’t sure. He carefully shuffles forward, and looks alarmed when a step turns into an inadvertent glide.

“We went to the Alps every winter,” Danny lies blithely. “You’re going to -”

Steve falls. This time, he stays down, staring up at the sky wistfully and wishing he’d never let Danny talk him into this.

“Actually, I didn’t ski all that much,” Danny says, coming over with an easy grace that Steve is not at all jealous of. Danny does offer him a hand up, though, so Steve grudgingly accepts that Danny’s not completely evil

[rocsfan]

That is wonderful!!! How clever to compare ski lessons with surfboarding lessons, and put the "ski on the other foot." Adn this is so perfectly the wayt they would behave. I love the "Occasisionally, maybe." Perfect way to end it. Thank you SO much!!

[trialanderror12]

Hahahahaha. Not about to fold, huh? Didn't take him long to do so, considering ;) Of course, in the face of a smiling Danny, what else could he do?! Hee. Love it! I love Dany's unholy glee and the fact that he actually took surfing lessons! And I so love that Steve did cave in in the end, because omg he would have. They're just so adorable. Haha. Thank you for writing this! Love it : D

Sherlock/John, starting with them to go undercover as Santa and an Elf for a case. Maybe their Christmas Eve after that. :)

[soera]

naughty and nice“I just want to say, Sherlock, I’ve done a lot for you,” John says, “and mostly I’m happy to do it. But this? This, you’ll be paying off for months

[baka_yu]

Oh this is perfect, thank you for filling my prompt! :)

[trialanderror12]

I don't watch the new show, but I did so love reading the books as a child! So this was adorable and hilarious, and I love that Watson has pictures : D And Sherlock's line about returning his Christmas present--brilliant. Great story!!

[tess_faulkner]

Steve/Danny, it turns out Danny's not actually all that great of a swimmer, despite his claims? XD

[trialanderror12]

Oh, that is a great prompt! I cannot wait to read this one : D

[soera]

distraction“That could, maybe, on another planet, be called swimming,” Steve tells Danny

[tess_faulkner]

Can I just say that I love you? I'm biting my lip not to squeal during church right now, god, this is just perfect in so many ways!

...are we allowed to make more than one request? 8D

fem!Sherlock+/fem!John (I don't know your policy on femslash so m!John is fine as well), fem!Sherlock is frustrated by her hair and fem!John helps.

[soera]

Working on it, but first - do you have any preferences for fem!Sherlock's and fem!John's names?
[ETA: Because if you don't, I'm probably going to go with Rowena and Joan...]

[rattyjol]

Not particularly, no. But just out of curiosity, why Rowena?

[soera]

Mostly because Sherlock and Rowena both have roughly the same meaning - white/fair-haired; and also because I like the sound of the name and I think it fits with the naming scheme the Holmes parents seem to have been going with. =D It's a bit odd, I know - people seem to generally go with either Sherlock, or something that sounds similar...
