Christmas Comment!fics

[soera]

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Sometimes I write seasonal fics for various events. This Christmas, I thought I’d do something different instead.

I’m taking prompts for ficlets in any of the fandoms listed below. Please have a look at what I will/won’t write for each fandom before making your requests.

How this works:
Just leave a comment in this post with the fandom, pairing (if applicable) and prompt you’d like.

Prompts can be anything from random words for inspiration, to a specific scenario you’d like to see played out. They can be as specific or as general as you’d like, and I’ll do my best to stick to them.

ONE PROMPT per post. If you have multiple prompts, I’ll do the first one first, then go back to the others after I’m done with prompts from other people. So put the one you most want to see done first!

I will NOT write:
Anything with dark/unpleasant themes. It’s Christmas; let’s keep it happy. That said, I’ll take angst if I think it’s okay.

Some fandoms also have a specific listing for things I won’t write (don’t break up my OTPs please), so pay attention!

Character bashing.

Character death (except as in canon).

Note:
A slash denotes a pairing (e.g. Jack/Ianto), whereas a plus sign denotes friendship (e.g. Ianto+Tosh).

The latter doesn’t mean you can’t request friendship fics between people I haven’t listed; it just means that I’m particularly comfortable writing those two.

Simple enough, yes? Here are the fandoms I can write for, in alphabetical order:


Batman:

CAVEAT: I haven’t kept up with the latest news in the Bat-verse, and I personally Retcon any terrible characterisations etc. If you want something related to a specific event, please provide me with at least basic information about it. Generic stuff I can do without trouble, though. I also haven’t written a whole heap in this fandom, just fyi.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Bruce/Dick, Tim, Barbara

I WON’T WRITE: Anything pairing Bruce or Dick up with others. Any fics involving anyone not in the character list (I don’t know the others well enough!).


Harry Potter: :

CAVEAT: It’s been ages since I’ve written in this fandom, so any old fics you might have read are vastly out of date with my style now. … You might actually get better fics now than I used to write.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Harry/Severus, Harry/Remus, Harry/Bill, Harry/Charlie, Harry/Neville, Harry/Luna, Harry/Hermione, Hermione/Ron, Ron/Luna, Neville/Luna, friendships between anyone (including Fawkes, Buckbeak and other animals), the list is kind of endless.

I WON’T WRITE: Harry/Draco, Harry/Ginny, Severus/Remus, Sirius/Remus


Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike!: :

CAVEAT: While I know the gist of the entire storyline, I’ve only read the scanlations up to the first chapter of Volume 13. I’ve not written extensively in this fandom, and what I do have, I haven’t posted. I think I’ve got a decently good grasp on the characters though, at least up to Vol. 12.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Kiyomine/Takara, ensemble cast

I WON’T WRITE: Anything pairing Kiyomine or Takara up with others. Go ahead and mix and match anyone else if you’d like.


Naruto: :

CAVEAT: I would prefer to write post-time-skip for anything with pairings (outside of canon crushes). If it’s gen, go ahead and request any time-frame. I’m most familiar with the Konoha characters and the Sand siblings, so request anyone else at your own risk. Also, it’s been ages since I’ve written in this fandom, but I think I’ve got an okay grasp on them.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Naruto/Kakashi, Naruto/Sakura (post-time-skip), Naruto+Kakashi+Sakura, Naruto+Tsunade

I WON’T WRITE: Anything with post-betrayal Sasuke (especially Naruto/Sasuke). I would in fact prefer to avoid writing Sasuke altogether.


Prince of Tennis: :

CAVEAT: Only Seigaku members, please. I’m not really familiar with the other schools. Also, I have a tendency to ignore both the manga and anime endings because they both get ridiculous, so feel free to request something set in an AUish ending.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Tezuka/Ryoma, ensemble cast.

I WILL WRITE: Fics set in ‘verses I’ve already posted. If you like one of them and you’d like to see more in that verse, you can request that specifically. I’m thinking Kaleidoscope and The Winding Path in particular.

I WON’T WRITE: Anything pairing Tezuka or Ryoma up with others. Go ahead and mix and match anyone else if you’d like.


Princess Princess: :

CAVEAT: I’ve not written extensively in this fandom; request at your own risk.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Yuujirou/Tooru, Yuujirou+Tooru+Mikoto+Akira, ensemble cast

I WON’T WRITE: Anything pairing Yuujirou or Tooru up with others. Go ahead and mix and match anyone else if you’d like. I’d also prefer not to write the school council members, since I’m not very comfortable with them.


RPS: :

CAVEAT: I’ve not written this much, and none of what I’ve written has been posted; request at your own risk.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Frank/Gerard, My Chemical Romance ensemble cast

I WILL WRITE: I’m most comfortable with AUs of any sort. If it’s canon-based, I prefer ‘girlfriends/wives never existed’ fic.

I WON’T WRITE: Drunken/high shenanigans (so keep it post-sobering up); the aftermath is fine, though.


The Sentinel: :

CAVEAT: I’ve not written extensively in this fandom, though I think my grasp on the characters has improved a little from the few I’ve posted. Still, request at your own risk.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Jim/Blair, Jim+Blair+Simon, ensemble cast

I WON’T WRITE: Anything pairing Jim or Blair up with others. Go ahead and mix and match anyone else if you’d like.


Star Trek (TOS/2009): :

CAVEAT: I’ve not written extensively in this fandom, and none of what I’ve written is posted online. Request at your own risk.
Specify if you want TOS or 2009!

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Kirk/Spock, Bones+Kirk+Spock, ensemble cast

I WON’T WRITE: Anything pairing Kirk or Spock up with others. Go ahead and mix and match anyone else if you’d like.


Torchwood: :

CAVEAT: Children of Earth does not exist for me. Stick to the first two seasons; that’s all I acknowledge as canon.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Jack/Ianto, Owen/Tosh, Gwen/Rhys, Ianto/Lisa (pre-Canary Wharf only), Owen/Gwen (Season 1 only), team-fic, Ianto+Tosh, Jack+Gwen, Ianto+Owen

I WILL WRITE: Fics set in ‘verses I’ve already posted. If you like one of them and you’d like to see more in that verse, you can request that specifically.

I WON’T WRITE: Anything pairing Jack or Ianto up with others (other than pre-Jack Ianto/Lisa). You can mix and match anyone else, and I’ll give it a shot, though.




Enjoy!

ETA: Prompts don't have to be Christmas-related, if that's not your thing. Anything goes. =D

ETA 2: Prompt-taking closes at midnight here - which is 14 hours from the time of this post (count it off yourself, as applicable to wherever you are).

ETA 3: PROMPT-TAKING IS NOW CLOSED. Those whose prompts I haven't filled yet, expect them over the next couple of days. Thanks for joining in the fun, and I hope you like what I came up with for you!

ETA 4: DONE, DONE, DONE! I hope you all like what you got. Thank you especially to those who requested MCR, KomaHoshi and Batman fic - I desperately wanted to play in those fandoms. ♥ Merry Christmas!

[They don't quite get home, but they're on the way at least? =D]

he is dashing, you have to give him that

The thing that makes Jack truly strong is that he takes the blame for bad missions.

The rest of them have death to take the guilt from them. Jack alone doesn’t have that eventual comfort, and yet he insists on shouldering burdens that any of the rest of them could eventually lay down. That, Ianto thinks, is what makes Jack a true hero.

But it doesn’t mean the guilt doesn’t wear on Jack.

Ianto watches Jack on the cameras. Jack is standing atop the invisible lift, looking at the people hurrying by. When Jack, louder-than-life, flamboyant, theatrical Jack – when Jack goes still and seeks obscurity, Ianto knows that the weight of Jack’s guilt and that of countless others is pressing heavily on him. There is nothing that Ianto can do to remove that burden, because Jack refuses to let it be taken from him.

Sometimes, Ianto thinks that Jack is trying to atone for something. Ianto wishes Jack would realise that he’s done more than his share of penance.

Ianto switches off the monitors, puts his coat and scarf on, and heads out of the Hub. He takes the tourist entrance and walks towards the water tower so that Jack can see him approaching. The air around Jack shimmers with the instruction to look away, there’s nothing here, but Ianto knows there is and so he focuses on Jack, standing silent and still in the dancing air.

“It’s about time we got home,” Ianto says when he’s close enough not to get any strange looks.

Jack looks like he’s considering the statement.

“Let’s go,” Ianto says, and holds out his hand a little.

After a moment, Jack steps off the lift and down to where Ianto is. He slips his gloved hand into Ianto’s and laces their fingers together. Ianto raises their joined hands and presses a quick kiss to the back of Jack’s hand.

“I thought you didn’t like public displays,” Jack says with a crooked smile. “Aren’t they too undignified?”

“Torchwood has long since rid me of any dignity I had,” Ianto says, and tugs Jack a little closer. He brings their hands up between their chests, puts his other arm around Jack and draws them together.

“And besides, some things are worth it,” Ianto adds.

He doesn’t think he imagines the way Jack leans into his hold.
