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:

How it works:

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.

Leave a comment in this post with the fandom, pairing (if applicable; I’ll do gen for all fandoms too) and prompt you’d like.

Prompts can be anything from random words for inspiration, to a scenario you’d like to see played out. They can be as specific or general as you like, and I’ll do my best to stick to them. Alternate universe/alternate canon prompts are welcome, as are prompts to do with any ‘verse I’ve written about before (i.e. it's fine to ask for something based on one of my posted fics).

ONE PROMPT per post. If you have multiple prompts (perfectly fine), 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!

Prompts don’t have to be Christmas/holiday-related, if that’s not your thing. Anything goes!

Porn and I have a love-hate relationship. Sometimes it comes easy; other times, it's hard. (Pun not intended.) Be warned that if you request smut, you may not actually get it – I can give you the prelude and possibly some sexiness, but that might be the best I'll manage.

Prompt-taking closes at midnight on Christmas where I am – that’s UTC+8. Or 24 hours (and 15ish minutes?) from the time of this post, if you want to count it off like that. I'll add a note at the end of this post once prompt-taking is closed.

I will NOT write:
Character bashing.

Character death (except as in canon).

Anything dark/unpleasant. It’s Christmas; let’s keep it happy in here. (This does not mean I won’t take sad/bittersweet/etc prompts – those are fine, but I won’t write, say, a character’s murderous rampage through London.)

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

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:


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.
I much prefer writing friendship/gen to anything with pairings.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: The list is actually kind of endless, especially when it comes to pairing Harry up.

I WON’T WRITE: Harry/Draco, Harry/Ginny, Severus/Remus, Sirius/Remus. I would prefer not to write Draco at all.


Hawaii Five-0:

CAVEAT: I didn’t watch S2, and I didn’t particularly like the end of S1 (Danny!). Sticking with S1 is probably best.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Danny/Steve, Danny/Rachel (pre-divorce), ensemble cast

I WON’T WRITE: Anything pairing Danny or Steve up with others (unless it’s pre-H50). Go ahead and mix and match anyone else if you’d like.


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 Volume 15. 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. 15.

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.


Merlin:

CAVEAT: I’m really hesitant about putting this up because I’ve only just started watching it. It feels like the sort of thing I’d enjoy writing, though, so I’ve decided to just throw this out there anyway. Please just stick to S1, though – I know what happens in later seasons, but I haven’t seen them for myself. Also, I’ll probably be best at writing Arthur or Merlin, so request other characters at your own risk. =P
(I’m gonna repeat myself here because it seems particularly apt: remember that AU settings are perfectly fine to request *cough reincarnation fic cough*.)

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Arthur/Merlin

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


Naruto:

CAVEAT: I haven’t been keeping up with the latest updates (it’s been getting a bit ridiculous for me) so if you want something to do with a specific incident, give me details (at least chapter numbers so I can look it up).
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. I don’t know anything about the second manga series either, so I can’t write anything about that.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Tezuka/Ryoma, ensemble cast.

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


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, 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.


Sherlock (BBC):

CAVEAT: … Yeah, I got nothing.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: John/Sherlock, ensemble cast

I WON’T WRITE: Anything pairing John or Sherlock 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: I didn’t like S3, and didn’t watch S4. Stick to the first two seasons; I won’t be able to do anything from S3/4.

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

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!
(And yes, feel free to share this with any of your friends you think might appreciate this. It's open to absolutely anyone, even people I don't know. =D)

ETA: Prompt-taking is now CLOSED.

ETA 2: Done! Thanks for playing, everyone. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! =D

I know it's cliche like whooa but i love jealous/possessive Jack - Some guy is trying to pick up Ianto so jealous Jack decides to mark his territory ;)

Merry Christmas! ;D

being seen

Ianto knows that he looks decent enough. He also knows he’s not stunning or eye-catching in any way. His face is the sort of face that blends into the crowd, and he rather likes it that way. It makes his job simpler, at any rate, and he quite likes watching the world go by without feeling constantly stared at. People’s eyes glide right over him and land on Jack, or Gwen, or really anyone else who’s attractive and confident and invites attention. Ianto’s just – average, and he’s gotten used to his utter mediocrity.

For this reason, it is always something of a surprise to him when someone flirts with him.

“I am, yes,” he tells the guy who’s just asked him if he’s here with someone. Random Guy (as Ianto mentally dubs him) looks slightly disappointed, but not in the least put off.

“At least let me buy you a drink,” he says, leaning into Ianto’s space. Ianto takes a discreet step back and glances at the bar-tender. He’s still putting Toshiko’s cocktail together.

“Actually, I’m the designated driver today,” Ianto says politely. “Sorry.”

“Buy you something without alcohol, then?” Random Guy asks.

“Um,” Ianto says. The disadvantage of being very rarely hit on is that he’s not very practiced at escaping anyone determined.

(Though – that might be how Jack had eventually lured him into bed, and Ianto’s not complaining about that outcome.)

“Hey, got the drinks yet?” Jack asks, as if summoned by Ianto’s stray thought.

“He’s making them now,” Ianto says, nodding towards the bar-tender.

“Good,” Jack says, and places an open-mouthed kiss on Ianto’s neck. “I’m parched. Friend of yours?” he asks, cocking his head towards Random Guy, who is now wearing a somewhat pole-axed look.

“Oh, we were just talking,” Ianto says. Jack wraps an arm around Ianto’s waist and gives Random Guy a smile that’s all teeth. “This is Jack,” Ianto adds, to Random Guy.

“Mike,” Random Guy says, through a rather fixed smile. “Your boyfriend, I take it?”

Jack hates that word. Ianto’s still not surprised when Jack agrees with another shark-like smile, and tucks his hand into the back pocket of Ianto’s jeans.

Their drinks arrive just then and Random Guy aka Mike takes the opportunity to scarper.

Ianto considers calling Jack out on his behaviour. If Jack can flirt with everyone in sight, surely he should extend the same courtesy to Ianto. But frankly, Ianto feels far too disgustingly gooey and sentimental at the moment to be able to properly dress Jack down for his little display of possessiveness. Jack’s not one for overt gestures, so Ianto will take what he can get.

“Grab the beers, will you?” he asks Jack, as he scoops up the other three glasses and expertly begins winding his way back to the rest of the team. He feels Jack hot on his heels, and a quick glance back tells him that Jack’s eyes are fixed firmly on Ianto’s rear.

If Ianto adds a little swagger to his walk – well, surely no one else will notice.

I love it! :D Thank you!
