Christmas Comment!fics [2012]

Merry Christmas, everyone!

So this is turning into a yearly thing, apparently. Christmas comment!fics for all you lovely folk in fandom! I’m experimenting with the timeline this year, so this post is going up a bit later than previous years. For those who’ve been here before, do check the updated list of fandoms, and the time that prompt-taking closes. For those who haven’t, 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 the 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 previously posted fics).

ONE PROMPT per comment. Multiple prompts are fine, but put each in its own comment. Your first prompt gets ficced first; the others will go to the end of the queue and I’ll get back to them 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 31st December where I am – that’s UTC+8. Do note that I won’t be taking any prompts after the stated deadline. Due to Reasons, I’ll likely be slower in posting up my comment!fics, but look for them in the first couple of weeks of the new year.

Due to RL reasons, I'm not advertising this post in any communities this year – which means I'll be relying on word of mouth to get this out.Okay, I managed to find the time to post to a few comms. But still, feel free to spread the word to your other fandom friends who might not know about this post. They don’t have to know me to request a ficlet!

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:


Bleach:
CAVEAT: I skipped a lot of the Aizen/Arrancar/Visored stuff because I got bored with the endless fighting. I know the gist of what happened, but if you’re requesting something based on a specific moment, give me chapter numbers at the least.
I’m better at these guys than I used to be, though, so don’t take previous works as proof of (non-)talent.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Ichigo/Byakuya, Urahara, Rukia, Orihime, Shinigami ensemble (not as familiar with the Visored and Arrancar though)

I WON’T WRITE: If you request a scenario I don’t know and am not comfortable with, I might ask you a) if I can write something only tangentially related to the idea you’ve put forth, or b) to give me another prompt.


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.


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.


Kyou Kara Maoh!:

CAVEAT: I didn’t watch S3 and didn’t finish S2, though I do know how it ends. I’m terrible at keeping track of the ensemble cast, so sticking to the major players is best.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Conrad/Yuuri, Gwendal, Gunter, possibly Wolfram and Cecilie. Pick anyone else at your own risk – I’m not quite comfortable writing anyone outside of these I’ve listed.

I WON’T WRITE: Anything pairing Conrad or Yuuri up with others (I’m fine with acknowledging the Wolfram/Yuuri engagement, but not as a serious pairing). Go ahead and mix and match anyone else if you’d like.
Anything with Shinou, because I can’t quite wrap my writerly brain around him yet.


Naruto:

CAVEAT: I know the gist of what’s been happening, but I’ve only been reading sporadically since Kakashi’s resurrection. If you want something to do with a specific incident, give me details (at least chapter numbers so I can look it up).
I 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: Naruto/Sasuke. Anything with post-betrayal Sasuke (I’d 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.
Moriarty. Or Irene. Sorry, not interested.


Star Trek (TOS/2009):

CAVEAT: I’ve not written extensively in either 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, Ianto/Lisa (pre-Canary Wharf only), Ianto+Tosh, team, Rhys

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.


Young Avengers:

CAVEAT: I haven’t posted anything I’ve written in this fandom, so you’re requesting at your own risk. Also, I’m not doing anything based on speculation/teasers about the upcoming series.

CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Billy/Teddy, Kate, Eli, Tommy, Cassie, Nate

I WON’T WRITE: Anything pairing Billy or Teddy up with others. You can mix and match anyone else, and I’ll give it a shot, though.



And have a happy new year, everyone!

ETA: Prompt-taking is now closed.

ETA 2: Done! Thanks for playing, everyone!

Oh, what a lovely idea! I've got one.

John/Sherlock, maybe a little Mrs Hudson or Lestrade thrown in, John is cooking and Sherlock is doing housework but complaining about it.


Happy New Year to you as well!

[identity profile] skylark-cee.livejournal.com 2012-12-29 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
I would love to see something in the same 'verse as your Sherlock fic Great Puzzle. Anything really, but maybe the first case or the first situation that goes wrong after John's previous experience runs out. How does John feel after knowing what was going to happen for so long?

[identity profile] itsmeyousee.livejournal.com 2012-12-29 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Torchwood team fic so canon relationships Season two but concentrating on Ianto and Tosh skills in research/tech to solve the problem but Jack Owen and Gwen are there as well just not the main players, thank you

[identity profile] scandalbaby.livejournal.com 2012-12-29 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Bleach, Orihime & Hisagi: They both know what it's like to love someone from afar (Ichigo for Orihime, Matsumoto for Hisagi) and have them just out of reach, and so they bond.

[identity profile] scandalbaby.livejournal.com 2012-12-29 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Bleach - Ichigo & Ishida (if you'll write him): Twenty-five years later, they are forced to get along when their children start dating. Go ahead and set it post any arc you feel comfortable with (though I'm not reading the current one, so please don't spoil me).

Torchwood Jack/Ianto

Christmas day and Jack and Ianto have to celebrate it with both jack and Ianto's family. Preferably jack has never met Ianto's family before and Ianto hasn't met Jack's

Hopefully this is acceptable, i know you said no season 3 so you can make up Iantos family and Jacks family

Thanks and Happy holidays!

I come from the conradxyuuri community!
If you don't mind me requesting, I'd like Conrad/Yuuri with prompt - fluff, Yuuri's down with fever and Conrad's doing his best to take care of him. They're having a talk, maybe? which brings them closer to each other. Thanks! ♥

[identity profile] la-prime.livejournal.com 2012-12-29 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yummy, such a Christmas miracle! May I?
Kyou Kara Maoh!, Conrad/Yuuri. The five times when Conrad gave a slap to Yuuri (by mistake or?..) and the one time Yuuri gave a slap to Conrad (for real marriage).

Kakashi/Naruto: Something fluffy and porny? Kakashi can't show how much he cares about Naruto in public so in private he lets it all out.

Thanks so much!!! ^_^

Jack/Ianto
Completely AU
Obviously it's a up to you how you want to write this, it doesn't necessarily be really smutty but, anyway...
Either Jack and Ianto are porn stars who are 'working' together in this year's gay-porn blockbuster, when things start to get real and they realise they're in love with each other or, if you don't want it to be too smutty, it could just be a regular movie with an intense sex scene with the same conclusion.
Merry Janto Christmas!

[identity profile] jaune-chat.livejournal.com 2012-12-29 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooo, exellent! And thank you!

John/Sherlock - "Get out of my brain!"

[identity profile] gravitule.livejournal.com 2012-12-29 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Jack/Ianto , anything happening during the famous 4 weeks suspension after Cyberwomanl. I still wish they had do some episodes during that time....

[identity profile] duochan-maxwell.livejournal.com 2012-12-29 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Jack/Ianto + Team
Ianto convinces the team to have Christmas dinner in the Hub so Jack can properly celebrate it for the first time. Bonus for mistletoe naughtiness :D
sunshine304: (Sherlock - You're crazy I love you)

[personal profile] sunshine304 2012-12-29 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
What a lovely idea! Hopefully, you can do something with this:

Sherlock/John or Sherlock&John, AU - hostage situation in a bank or shop. The boys are both there for some reason, but don't know each other. Perhaps Sherlock's also distracted because of some other case, so he notices the hostagetaker(s) too late. Sherlock and John work together to resolve the situation after a few hours. John's army training is helpful and Sherlock is intrigued by this resourceful and level-headed guy. Cue "Hey you'd be the perfect flatmate!". Injured hostage, so that John can show of his doctor skills, and John being a crack shot optional.

BTW I just re-read your story "Waiting to be know". So lovely!

[identity profile] ariadnechan.livejournal.com 2012-12-29 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks you for this!!!

I would love a crossover or fussion au!

With Sherlock characters in a sentinel au! Where John is a sentinel and Sherlock is the guardian! John/Sherlock
And maybe with Jim/Blair as chief of the the sentinel/guardian federation or secret organization. Mycroft as the britain off course is the representant of the federation of secret society in england. Maybe John met Jim in the war?

Torchwood; Sixty Minutes an Hour - Dan asks for a sibling for Christmas, will Jack & Ianto grant his wish...

[identity profile] crsg.livejournal.com 2012-12-30 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a huge Conrad/Yuuri fan so might I request something for that pairing? Feeling a bit naughty rather than nice (although that doesn't necessarily mean it has to be smuteriffic) - my prompt is 'bondage'... however you'd like to interpret that. ;)

[identity profile] ichiniifan.livejournal.com 2012-12-30 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Kakashi/naruto with a more mature naruto and he knows of the kyuubi before mizuki tells him.
And if you can i would like it to be around the time naruto and the gang get there teams sorted, preferably a happy ending.

[identity profile] frozengothic.livejournal.com 2012-12-31 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Torchwood- Ianto/Jack. I'd love to see a BAMF!Ianto, since there really isn't enough of this around. And I'd love it if Jack and the team and surprised by just how BAMF! Ianto actually is. :)

Hope you had a happy holidays etc, and a good new year. :D

[identity profile] oninomaggie.livejournal.com 2012-12-31 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
Like the person above, I'd like a BAMF! Ianto - specifically, I'd like to see him (and the team) dealing with a second Cyberman invasion, with all the memories that would bring up for him (the friends lost at TW 1, as well as of course Lisa). After he realizes what's going on (and probably breaks down a couple times), he leads the Team in the assault on their base, avenging her and all those he's lost.

That would be awesome.

[I am! RL’s just been really hectic… I was considering not doing this this year – but it’s been so long since I’ve managed to write anything for fandom, I figured this would be a good excuse. =D]

the fidelity of dogs

He moves out of 221B Baker Street.

It is remarkably easy to let every relationship he’d built over the last year or so die. Mrs Hudson and Lestrade hold out the longest (and John suspects that Mycroft keeps a subtle eye on him) but eventually even they too drift away. Once that had happened, John had moved again, this time telling no one his new address. A clean break’s the best, he thinks. The bone will knit back nice and strong.

It is difficult dealing with people when they know him as either a conman or a fool. For that reason, he decides to work with animals instead.

He begins to volunteer at a small shelter that’s overworked enough to disregard John’s poor reputation. The other workers and volunteers there are even polite enough not to disparage Sherlock in John’s hearing. He puts together meals and cleans up shit. In some ways, John thinks on the good days, it’s similar to living with Sherlock.

He finds that he has a deft hand with the animals, and that they calm for him quickly. It’s not something he’d expected, given that he’d only ever had a dog before, and that had been as a child. Still, there’s a kind of pleasure that comes from discovering a new talent, and John jumps at the chance to lose himself in something new.

(There is a pattern to his life. He’d escaped his family by joining the army. He’d escaped the numbing boredom of civilian life by living with Sherlock. It stands to reason that he’d escape the reality of Sherlock’s death by throwing himself into something else.)

Working with the dogs, in particular, is the kind of medicine that John could never have dared dream of. They’re uncomplicated creatures, and demand nothing of him but the ability to move on. If he forgets, their restless anxiety reminds him. As long as he is centred and certain of himself, they’re unflinchingly loyal. They don’t judge, and that is a gift infinitely more precious than John had ever known before.

(He still misses Sherlock. Part of him wonders if working at the shelter is his way of running away from people, because god, he can’t deal with everything they say and think about Sherlock. Too late to realise how he felt, too late for much of anything except coping, which he only manages because the dogs remind him to do so.)

But there is something about them, about the straightforward, uncompromising lives of the animals, that soothes that raw and aching part of him he won’t let anyone see. So John turns his volunteerism into a job and lets them heal him, and dreams about a life in which he could have shared this with Sherlock.

[identity profile] soera.livejournal.com 2013-01-17 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Thank you for the V-gift! =D
I think this fill was accidentally also inspired by a couple of others commenters who requested BAMF!Ianto. So, um. Even though we don’t see Ianto actually fixing things, I hope this works for you!]

an instinct deeply ingrained

Say what you will about old-fashioned projectile weapons. The sound of a round being chambered is as terrifying as any sonic weapon charge-up.

John turns slowly, hands up in front of him, high enough to make him look harmless, low enough so that he can grab for his own gun (sonic, thank you) if the opportunity presents itself.

“What is it this time?” he asks casually. “The good Captain forget something else?”

“Kneel,” Eye Candy says.

“Kinky,” John says.

Eye Candy lashes out with his foot, a sharp kick to the back of John’s knees knocking him to the ground. John tries, but doesn’t manage to get to his gun before Eye Candy’s there, wrenching his arms behind his back and cuffing him. Okay, not a problem, they’re just your average handcuffs, he can get out of those easy. Just take him a few seconds, once Eye Candy looks away –

He’s not looking away. He looks angry, the kind of angry that goes cold and refines every act it drives. John frowns slightly. This could be a problem.

“Look, they’re not as valuable as you probably think they are,” he tries. “I just didn’t figure you’d need them, and I happen to need some for the next place I’m going. Things to buy, you know. The chips wouldn’t be useful to you.”

“I honestly don’t care about your thieving tendencies,” Eye Candy says, flatly. He produces a – oh god, is that a syringe, the medicine of this time is so barbaric – out of his suit pocket and moves around to John’s side. He still has a clear line of fire, he’s moved himself out of easy striking distance, and if John struggles, all he’ll accomplish is breaking the needle off in his flesh.

John grits his teeth against the sharp pain, wondering what Eye Candy’s up to. If the lot of them weren’t so bloody nice, he’d be honestly worried.

“It’s the collateral damage I don’t appreciate,” Eye Candy says, stepping out in front of him again. He holsters his gun and watches John casually. “Do you happen to recall that box of photos on Jack’s desk? The one you accidentally destroyed?”

John feels very cold. It takes him a moment to realise the sensation’s centred on the injection site, but radiating rapidly throughout the rest of his body. It comes and goes in waves. He doesn’t know what Eye Candy might have used, but it’s making it hard to think and he’s getting dizzy.

Eye Candy watches him with a little smile on his face. Suddenly, John’s not too sure about the whole “being nice” thing. That smile does not look nice. That smile looks like something he’d once seen on people who still gave him nightmares, decades later.

“Let’s have a little talk, John.”

the illusion of change

It has taken four months, three lectures, two scoldings and one A&E visit to achieve the impossible.

Sherlock is cleaning the house.

Apparently, John accidentally poisoning himself with one of Sherlock’s experiments is all it takes. Sherlock’s still not conducting himself with any graciousness though, acting instead as if John had poisoned himself solely to inconvenience Sherlock. If Sherlock hadn’t spent the entirety of John’s hospital stay worrying himself sick, John might have been insulted. As it is, he knows perfectly well what lies beneath the snide commentary about being beyond little things like housework or categorising his experiments, anyone could have told that bread was poisoned if only they’d paid attention, honestly, John.

John shakes his head at himself and returns his attention to the sandwiches he’s putting together (there is no more poisoned food in the kitchen, Sherlock assures him). There’s something very wrong with him, he’s sure, when he gets poisoned through Sherlock’s carelessness and all he can think is that at least that’s got Sherlock’s pasty arse moving. He’d recovered fine; all’s well.

He knows that this state of affairs cannot possibly last. Sooner or later, Sherlock will get distracted and he’ll go right back to what he used to do. John’s determined to enjoy having a slightly less lethal home while it lasts.

“John! John, look what I found. Old case notes! There’s some fascinating material here, you know, and some truly inspired work. Ah, here’s my analysis on decomposition rates in various media. Come have a look, you never know when you’ll need this sort of knowledge –”

John plates the sandwiches and wonders if anything could possibly rein Sherlock in for good.
