Thank you for writing for me. I love holiday themed fic either cases or fluff. I don't particularly like dark fic. I'm ok with gen fic up to explicit but I'm not ok with water sports/ non con/ BDSM/ incest. I'm not comfortable with partner betrayal.

As you can see I'm a Jensen Ackles fan. There is a theme going on. I'm not sorry about it.

Countdown (US TV 2025)
Ship: Mark Meachum/Amber Oliveras
I ship Mark/ Amber like Fed Ex. Cae fic? Love it. Cute going to the pumpkin patch fic? Great. Undercover with a fake relationship? Best with only one bed. Them dressed up and handing out candy at Mark's place? Fun. Any of these, a combination or something else would be good.
Set it during the series or after I don't care. But if during episodes 11-13, please find a way to end things with Juilo before getting Amber and Mark together. The Doctor is a good guy and deserves not to be cheated on.

I love that they are both so great undercover and actually are able to roll with the punches so well. An undercover fic would be welcome. I like their banter and really do thing Mark was being honest in the season finale when he was talking about their easy magic so however you want to show that magic would be welcome.

Big Sky (US TV)
Beau Arlen
Emily Arlen
Jenny Hoyt
Ship: Beau Arlen/Jenny Hoyt

I love Beau/ Jenny and would love to see what would have happened if the show hadn't faded out on the hand on her knee and her hand covering it.

But if that doesn't do it for you. A Case fic, a slice of life, or a holiday fic works.

If you want to write Daddy Beau being a good Dad to Emily with or without adding Jenny as Step Mom or Potential Step Mom, I'm good with that too. I love how he has such a good relationship with his daughter.

I just really like Beau. I love him in his Sherif role. I love him as the soft girl Dad. I love him in a romantic setting with Jenny. But I also like Jenny and Beau's working relationship and their friendship. Any of it is good with me.

Tracker (TV 2024)
Colter Shaw
Russel Shaw

I just want more of the Shaw Brothers being brothers. Either with or without a case.

I reiterate I am NOT into incest. Just siblings being siblings.

The Boys (TV 2019)
Soldier Boy
Ship: Crimson Countess/Soldier Boy
Ship: Grace Mallory/Soldier Boy

The Boys is a difficult fandom for me. I am not really into the potty humor, blood splatter, gore, or the more kinky parts of the canon.

But the show Soldier Boy intrigues me.

I'd love to see the relationship behind closed doors of Crimson Countess and Soldier Boy. Why did he think he loved her? Or them showing up to a Vought Halloween event to publicize Payback.

or
After the thaw, Soldier Boy finds the older Grace Mallory and he is just as attracted to her as he was when she was younger. We know Ben likes the Grandma type and she is that now.

Dark Angel (TV)
Alec
Max

I'd like to believe that after the founding of Freak Nation, Max and Logan are broken up for good so there is no partner betrayal. So fic set after that is fair game for shipping. Fic set prior to that , Logan needs to be dealt with (not necessarily killed but broken up with) even if Max is insisting "They're not like that."

I love the way Max and Alec spark against each other. I also enjoy how he gets serious and real with her and she's always surprised by it.

Silly day in the life fic, Alec and Max running Freak Nation, romance fic, or some combination of it is all good with me. Also just them being friends is also good though I do ship it.

Thank you for writing for me. I recognize that this is a gift of your time and mental energy so I appreciate it. In general I love Christmas and like to see characters I love enjoying the holiday in their own way. Most of my suggested prompts are holiday fics but I'd be happy with anything especially if it explores the greater family together, be it blood and or chosen family.

I don't mind explicit sex but it isn't needed. I do not enjoy potty humor, water sports, scatological acts, or hardcore BDSM (light bondage ie teasing with handcuffs or tieing to the bed can be fun) I really dislike established couples betraying their partners. Also I prefer characters to keep their established sexuality. I ship het couples where there is no established couple. I also don't want AUs like Coffee Shop or University. Canon Divergance AUs are good but I enjoy these characters in their settings.

Walker Independance

Abby Walker
Hoyt Rawlins
Tom Davidson
Kate Carver

I do ship Abby and Hoyt but their friendship is fun too. I enjoy the friendship of Kate and Abby. I'd love to see how a relationship between Abby and Tom would play out. But a plain old Christmas in Independance would be fun. What kind of show does Kate design for the hotel? Does Hoyt bring some kind of stolen gift to Abby? Does Abby find a way to host some kind of town/family Christmas dinner?

Dark Angel
Max Guevara | X5-452
Alec McDowell | X5-494

I don't car for Logan at all so if he must be mentioned I prefer it to be in the past and brief. I ship Alec and Max but I like their friendship too. Christmas in Terminal City could be an interesting exploration.

Big Sky
Beau Arlen
Denise Brisbane
Jenny Hoyt
Emily Arlen

In this one I Ship both Beau / Denise and Beau Jenny but not at the same time. Your choice if you want to write one couple or the other. I enjoy Beau's friendship with both ladies. I also enjoy Daddy!Beau with Emily. I love how both Jenny and Denise interact with Emily too. A case fic or family Christmas would be awesome. I don't mind if Carla makes a brief appearance or is referred to.

Almost Paradise
Alex Walker
Kai Mendoza
Ernesto Alamares

I enjoy Alex and the found family he's building in the Philippines .

I don't mind explicit sex but it isn't needed. I do not enjoy potty humor, water sports, scatological acts, or hardcore BDSM (light bondage ie teasing with handcuffs or tieing to the bed can be fun) I really dislike established couples betraying their partners. Also I prefer characters to keep their established sexuality. I ship het couples where there is no established couple. I also don't want AUs like Coffee Shop or University. Canon Divergence AUs are good but I enjoy these characters in their settings. Canon consistent levels explicit language is preferred.

Treats are always welcome.

Big Sky
I would welcome either or both combined.
Denise/Beau
I love the flirting between Beau and Denise. If you just want to have more flirting over food. I'm good with that but if you want to go further I'm not opposed to that. If you want to have the flirting over holiday specific food go for it. Seasonal fics make me happy.

Beau & Emily
I love the Father and Daughter relationship. Any fun interaction between them is welcome but Beau being around when a boy picks Emily up for a Valentine's date would be fun.

Leverage
Eliot and Sophie or Eliot/Sophie
I just like these two together whether they are shipped or not, I like them either way.


Supernatural
Dean Winchester & Sam Winchester

I'm of the Platonic Soulmate Brothers camp. I love their unhinged Brother love. I would love a fic when they are in their sweet spot between the end of 15.19 and the start of 15.20. What would Valentine's day look like. Would either go out on a date or would they stay home and watch horror movies together? On the other hand a story set any where in canon is welcome. Or a post canon Sam missing his brother on "Unattached Drifter Christmas" would be sweetly sad.

Music & Lyrics
Sophie/ Alex
Sophie/ Alex
I just think they are fun and would love more of them. Does he write her another love song for Valentine's day? Or does it go sideways but they have a good day anyway?

Thank you for writing for me. I recognize that this is a gift of your time and mental energy so I appreciate it. In general I love Christmas and like to see characters I love enjoying the holiday in their own way. Most of my suggested prompts are holiday fics but I'd be happy with anything especially if it explores the greater family together, be it blood and or chosen family.

Knives Out
Marta/Ransom
I ship them but if you want to write mearly friendship I’m good with that. Maybe Marta visits him in jail and they become pen pals. Maybe something else happened while they were on the run together. I just enjoyed them together.


Slings & Arrows
The whole cast
I had a weird thought and would love to see what someone could do with it. It's Christmas and New Burbage is putting on either The Christmas Carol or the musical Scrooge as a gala fundraiser. All the wacky usual suspects are there doing their thing. If you want to set it after the end of the series with Ellen and Geoffrey are together that would be awesome.

Other than the canon couples, I don't care who is with whom. You want Darren and Anna in a drunken post rehersal thing? Go for it? Maria finding herself in bed with Darren in some kind of hate sex ? That would be awesome. Richard and Anna finally getting it on? Great. None of those would also be awesome. Wacky hijinks of putting on another play with Oliver's ghost meddling is an awesome idea too. New Burbage being New Burbage is the key.


The Spy Who Dumped Me
Audrey Stockton
Morgan Freeman
Sebastian Henshaw
I ship Audrey with Sebastian but enjoy the friendship with all three of them. I love me some holiday fic of them on case or just hanging out.

Ten Inch Hero
Boaz Priestly
Tish
I ship Priestly and Tish like Fed Ex. I would love to see their relationship grow. Does he stay “normal” or go back to the funky hair and piercings? Or does he do some combination of of the t-shirts but leave off the piercings and funky hair? I love the group at the sandwich shop and they way they interact so if you want to include them go for it. Does Tish try her tricks on Priestly or has she found the guy who doesn’t need them? What dies she tell Piper and Jen the morning after?

Walker (2021)
Emily Walker
Cordell Walker
August Walker
Stella Walker

I love the cop stuff but the thing I love about the show is the family. I really love the flashbacks to the happy Walker family contrasted with the current dysfunctional on. A happy holiday contrasted with the one while Cordell was undercover would be heartbreakingly good but if the family leads you in a different direction ok. I just really like Cordell and Emily together. If the other Walkers by blood or family acceptance want to make an appearance that would be great as well. If you want to give me Emily and Cordell smut and leave the kids out of it, I wouldn’t be disappointed.

Thank you for writing for me and Happy Holidays,

What's Your Number

I love Holiday fic. I love this movie to bits and the way Colin just sets Daisy on edge and the way he gets Aly is one of my favorate things. So I'd love to see Christmas at Ava's house with Daisy and Eddie and their kid's first Christmas with Aly and Colin showing up. If you want to bring Mr. Darling and his girlfriend by to add to the family chaos that would be great. Also a scene of Colin and Aly doing it in her childhood bedroom would be bonus.

I just love Colin and Aly and how fun they are together and how sometimes they clash with her family.

Knives Out

I just love the bit in the movie where Marta and Ransom are on the run together and would love a scene of him trying to seduce her get her more firmly on his side. Or even Marta visiting him in prison at Christmas because despite herself she has feelings for him.
I will admit it, I'm a Chris Evans fangirl. I loved the way we thought Ransom was going to be a good guy with him rescuing Marta and then it turned out he was the mastermind after all. I enjoy the thought of them together.

Notting Hill

I love the way William and Spike bicker as roommates. And the idea of them at a family gathering with their respective ladies amuses me. Some kind of family holiday fic with William, Anna, and their kid home in Notting Hill between her movies and Spike and Honey leading some kind of holiday hijinks would be fabulous. If you want to involve the rest of their friends, that would be fun too.

It's been a while since I watched the movie but I love Spike, the crazy Welsh roommate. I just kind of want a continuation of the family story fitting Anna in seamlessly despite her fame.

I hope I've given you some ideas. I can't wait to read what you wrote. I hope you have a very happy holiday season.
Happy Yuletide,

Thank you for writing for me. I love these fandoms so I'm sure I'll love whatever you write. There are a few things I don't like and those are non con, slash and femslash, partner betrayal, and blood/scat paly. I'm a strictly het kind of person but I don't mind explicit.

Outlander -A family Christmas either at Leoch or Lollybroch before Wentworth or in Paris afterward. I don't mind if Ian and Jenny and Young Jamie and Murtagh and Fergus are included. I'm looking for a heart warming holiday story featuring Jamie and Claire before she goes back through the stones. I'd love for whatever other family members to be drawn in but focus and Jamie and Claire. I'd greatly prefer no Black Jack or Frank Randall (though I don't hate either character I just don't want them at Christmas.)

The Americans- It's Christmas and Claudia has a mission for Philip and Elizabeth. Paige must help her parents keep Henry from finding out.
If you write the family please include Henry in some manner. Also, as of 10=8-17, I have yet to see season 5 and I'm not sure the DVDs will be out before the stories so if you set the story in season 5 I'll be a bit lost.

The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond- I have always wanted something more after the end of the movie. Something that has Jimmy and Fisher work it out to end up at least contentedly ever after together. Happily ever after would be preffered but contentedly will do. I've never figured out what was needed but something that has them firmly a couple would be great.I just love me some Jimmy Dobyne an Fisher Willow when they are getting along and Fisher isn't being a spoiled brat. They seem to be the boy and girl next door that went their sepparate ways for awhile but could find their way back to each other and I would love to see that.

[Unknown site tag]Thanks for writing for me.In general, I'm a het shipper and don't mind explict sex and don't mind violence but graphic descriptions of blood and gore does nothing for me and prefer to avoid too much of it. Adult language is ok but try to keep it to only the really needed instances. Slash and fem slash are on my no read list. I also have a thing against partner betrayal so if the character is married in canon, I don't like the character to cheat on them. Also I dislike incest weather the characters are related by blood or not. If a character is an adopted family member (legally not the "adopted" relative of close family friends) please treat them as if they were related by blood.

I like plot and I like character studies. I'm a fluffy person so if you whamp the characters please find a way to a happy ending. I also enjoy Christmas stories for Yuletide.

Americans - Philip Jennings, Elizabeth Jennings, Paige Jennings, and Henry Jennings

Here's where I confess, I don't actually have cable so I'm a season behind. I'm still waiting for season 4 DVDs to be released so I can watch it.

I do love the Jennings family dynamics and anything with the Philip and Elizabeth being fabulous parents while being cold blooded spies is great. I also love Philip and Elizabeth trying to navigate their personal feelings within their cover.



Outlander TV- Jamie Fraser, Jenny Fraser, Frank Randall, Claire Beauchamp
I read the first four books 19 years ago and kept up through the 7 book. I've reread the first book recently, but otherwise the details are fuzzy so I prefer the TV canon though if you take spoiler bits from the first four books I won't care.

I loved the friendship that was developing between Jenny and Claire. I love Claire and Jamie and their tempestuous relationship. I like Claire telling Jamie about the future. I would love to see Jamie and Claire discussing Frank. That was the thing I missed from the book in the show - Jamie on their wedding night asking about Frank because he knew Claire had to be thinking about him. A post secret reveal discussion of Frank and his connection to Black Jack would be great. As would a Christmas at Lallybroch (or Leoch since Jamie did say at the campfire before the Grants attacked that it would be Yuletide by the time they got back to the Castle so with fudging Christmas could end up either place.)

Death Comes to Pemberley - Fitzwilliam Darcy, Elizabeth Darcy

I really like this portrayal of Elizabeth and Darcy. Anything with them as a couple either pre or post series.

Anything that flushes out this couple is welcome.

Today's entry in the Spy Cats universe is a fun day in the life of the human. http://agentsofmeow.blogspot.com/2016/06/a-day-in-life-of-angus-macdougal.html

New Spy Cats http://agentsofmeow.blogspot.com/2016/05/taking-your-work-home-with-you.html

I have plantar faciaitis and it hurts like holy hell. I keep trying to Zumba enough to burn calories because I'm still working on getting in shape and losing weight.

But I have a four day streak of 10,000 steps going and I'm 1,110 from making it five but I think the feet won't let me.

This weekend I bowed to peer pressure and did 100 Burpees (in batches of 5) between customers at Grand Thing on Saturday. I helped herald Royal Court on Sunday (a great birthday present). On Monday on the way home from the event Monday, we stopped and climbed all 164 stairs of the Astoria Column.

Year number 38 is shaping up to be more active and awesome then ever. I have finally decided if it is fun I'm doing it even if I look silly doing it.
