I love you, and I'm easy to please, I promise! My fandoms are pretty rare/ nonexistent and just by writing in one of them you have made very happy!

I like character driven fic, missing moments from canon, angst and hurt/ comfort and crazy AUs. I'm not so into PWPs, extreme fluff, or the second person POV.

Here are some specifics for each of my fandoms. Feel free to ignore them if you have an idea already. Optional details are optional.

Play It Again, Dick:
I was a huge Logan/ Veronica shipper, but this series cracks me up in its own right and I'd like anything, whether it's a "Making Of" documentary, a partial script for a Dick episode, or Jason and Ryan hanging out and playing video games. Or even Ryan/ Jason or Ryan/ Jason/ Kristen.

Patricia Briggs/ Mercy Thompson series:
I'd love an exploration of Leah and Bran's relationship, done in a way that doesn't vilify anyone. But I love all the canon characters, too and any kind of slice of life fic would be great, too. For example, something involving Mercy's growing up in Bran's house, her pre-series relationship with Adam, etc.

Sarah Smith/ Vanished Child series:
Reisden-- "Immoral, unstable and intellectual" is pretty much my favorite character description EVER. Anything you feel inspired to write would be awesome-- from Richard Knight's journey to Africa through Reisden and Perdita in WWI France.

Ben Aaronovitch/ Rivers of London:
I'm not opposed to Peter/ Nightingale! But Broken Homes fix-it-fic, or casefic, or a Nightingale character sketch would also be great. I will hopefully have read Foxglove Summer by the time Yuletide goes live, so don't worry about spoilers-- but if you haven't read it, or if you are done writing by then, that's fine!

Scandal:
The more I see of Fitz and Liv, the more I love Mellie! I'd love to see things go well for her. I also really enjoy Mellie and Cyrus as conspirators. If you wanted to do something like an AU in which Mellie was President instead of Fitz, that would be great.

Summary: Anything can happen in a World Cup year.

( By the time he got to Heathrow and parked, he was ten minutes late, and coming in to International Arrivals he realized with horror it was full of press. If they brought up the tabloid rumors, Draco was likely to go ballistic. But when he finally saw Draco, it looked like things were peaceful enough, and as he got closer Harry realized they weren't from the tabs-- they were from <i>Q.E.D.</i> and the sporting section of the <i>Prophet</i>. )

Title: Score

Current Music: Passenger, Let It Go

Thank you for writing for me! You clearly have awesome taste.

I find writing these letters horribly nervewracking,and you should feel free to stop here and write the story you wanted to write all along. But if you, like me, panic when you get your assignment, here are some ideas. Remember, they're optional-- I love all of these fandoms and will be happy to read whatever you write. I read gen, het, and slash/ femmeslash. I'm good with character exploration or plot, and I'm game for porn as long as it's in the spirit of the original work. I have a weakness for AUs that retain the canon characterization. I also have a weakness for happy (ish) endings, an inability to take BDSM seriously and a fear of dentists.

Specifics:

The Doctrine of Labyrinths
I'd love to see another Felix/ Murtagh scene, or Mildmay's take on the two of them, or even just Felix and Mildmay continuing to work things out.

Mercy Thompson
I'm intrigued by Leah, who married for power and didn't get it. Or Adam and Mercy, coming to Bran's for Christmas. I really like the world Patricia Briggs built, the struggling for dominance, the balancing acts.

The Raven Cycle
I think the whole Glendower thing is both crazy and crazy cool, but I really like the human aspect, too, the threads of relationships. I could go with pretty much any pairing here.

Rivers of London
The Nightingale! Thomas Nightingale being fabulous at pretty much any point in history. Ettersburg. Teaching fic with Peter and Lesley. Fusion with The Once and Future King. Fix-it fic for Broken Homes. Maybe the big twist was planned all along, and everyone knew except Peter. Purposely vague because of spoilers although hopefully you've read it!

I Drive Your Truck-- Lee Brice (music video)
This song makes me tear up, and I want a different finish! Like, maybe, they are boyfriends/ partners/ husbands, and "You" gets captured and is MIA and the Narrator thinks he's dead, but he makes it back somehow? And reunites with the Narrator and they drive around in the truck together. Or maybe the Narrator's wife and daughter have been waiting for him to get it together and he finally does, so that's why he gives up the keys? I know, it's pretty lame.

The Bolinvars http://www.amazon.com/The-Bolinvars-Marguerite-F-Bayliss/dp/B002QCKS48
This is my out-of-left-field, no-hope nomination. It's like The Lymond Chronicles meets Gone With the Wind. I 'm pretty sure no one else has read it, ever. But on the offchance that you have, and are going to write fic, I'd like something exploring Dev and Hugo's relationship, either as cousins and friends, or as lovers. This book is an epic bromance, and I want to see that realized, but if you're not comfortable writing incest gen is great.

Derek and Laura, at the end of the road. Very loosely based on Eliot's "The Wasteland". Probably AU and certainly depressing. Non explicit dubcon, violence.

( Draco got up ridiculously early the next morning and left for practice before Harry was out of bed. He didn't seem to be hungover, which was unfair, but Harry was too worried too be jealous. He ducked out of work after only an hour and picked up a caramel latte for Hermione on the way to Unspeakable headquarters. )

Summary: Anything can happen in a World Cup year.

( It was their first Christmas as a family, and Harry wanted it to be perfect. Last year Astoria had had Scorpius, and Ginny'd had Lil and the boys. Draco had gone to his parents' for Christmas and Harry had gone to Ron and Hermione's, and they'd both gone to a drinks party at Andromeda Tonks' on Boxing Day and pretended not to recognize each other. The only decent part had been the sex afterward. )
