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CAVEAT: It’s been ages since I’ve written in this fandom, so any old fics you might have read are vastly out of date with my style now.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!

[Not quite Janto, more of the trio!friendship. Hope you like it!]

a time for family

The thing was, Christmas had always been an excuse for her entire extended family to get together. Christmas had always been full of laughter and camaraderie, all the things that Toshiko sorely missed in the rest of her life. Christmas meant pretending she was a normal person, someone who could become friends with her colleagues, who was important to them, who had people who cared about her.

Christmas made her able to survive the rest of the year, so having her family Christmases taken from her had been worse than anything else UNIT had done.

The first time had very nearly killed her. She’d spent hours sobbing in bed before she’d gotten a call from Jack, and had been forced to go out to round up some Weevils. At least it had gotten her mind off the fact that she wasn’t with her family.

She didn’t cry, the subsequent Christmases, but they never got easier. This year, Toshiko thought, might be the worst of all. She only had another year to go and then her case would be reviewed by UNIT and – and then maybe, maybe, she’d get to see her family again at last.

The hope was almost unbearable.

Someone rang her doorbell.

Toshiko nearly fell off the couch, where she’d been curled up in a thoroughly miserable little ball. She was just pondering the merits of ignoring the bell – surely it was someone having gotten the wrong place, or a salesman, even if it was Christmas – when it rang again.

She got up and padded over to the door, peered through the peep-hole, took a deep breath and opened the door.

“Hi, Jack, Ianto,” she said. “Sorry, I didn’t hear my phone – has something happened?”

“Nope,” Jack said cheerfully.

“We brought turkey,” Ianto said, holding up a cloth bag that looked crammed with Tupperware containers. “My next-door neighbour, she likes to feed me.”

“And potatoes, and mince pies,” Jack added. “She gave us enough to feed an army.”

“Plus, pudding and eggnog,” Ianto said. “Both courtesy of Jack.”

“I can cook,” Jack said, nodding seriously.

Toshiko tried to fight back a grin at the bantering tone the two men had adopted. “And how do I figure into this?” she asked, letting them in and closing the door.

“Well, we couldn’t have Christmas dinner without our sister, could we?” Ianto said reasonably.

“Your –” Toshiko said, and then inexplicably burst into tears.

“Oh,” Jack said, and wrapped his arms around Toshiko, hushing her quietly and rocking her like her mother had done whenever she’d had a bad dream, which just made Toshiko cry all the more. Ianto patted her back awkwardly, looking like he didn’t quite know what to do. Don’t worry, Toshiko wanted to tell him, but she was crying too hard – don’t worry, it’s just that I’m happy.
