Dear Yuletide Author:

A really big THANK YOU for writing for me. This seems to be the only fanfic challenge that I'm doing right now and it's nice to have a way to have more of the fandoms we love out in the universe. Also, yes, this is a copy/paste from last year without the URL thing.

In general, I dislike watersports and incest. That's the only things I don't want. I am OKAY with sex fic if you want to write that. Or not sex fic. I'm also okay with characters who are not nominated or asked for being used in what you write. The only thing I DO ask is that you make the characters nominated the star of the story. It could be all of them or one of them, but that would be for the best.

Okay, requests!

Request #1
Fandom: Murder in a Small Town (TV 2024)
Characters: Cassandra Lee, Karl Alberg, Steph Alberg, Holly Alberg
Preferred Pairings: Cassandra/Karl
Prompt Ideas: Slice of Life fic where it's a slow day in town; case fic if that is something that tickles your fancy; Holly dealing with being a teenager when your dad is the Chief of Police, and so on.
Notes: I do not mind if you want to use characters that were not nominated. This fandom didn't even exist on Ao3 until I nominated it and I wanted to make sure that I got the two mains plus his family. There are so many others that could contribute to whatever you decide to write, so feel free to use any. Also, do not worry about spoilers - I am up to date with the series.
Where to find Hulu for seasons 1 and 2; Fox for most recent episodes only.

Request #2
Fandom: Brilliant Minds (TV 2024)
Characters: Oliver Wolf, Josh Nichols, Carol Pierce
Preferred Pairings: Oliver/Josh; friendship for all three!
Prompt Ideas: Comfort fic for either Oliver or Josh (both of the idiots need hugs); speculation on what's happening in the Six Months Later parts of season 2; the three of them having dinner or drinks after a hard day at work
Notes: This is one of my new favorite shows and has been since it came on the scene. Oliver and Josh are adorable (and idiots) and I love how both are just quietly showing up for each other. Carol is clearly the sane one of the friend group and I love that about her. I'm up to date with the fandom so no worries about spoilers.
Where to find Peacock for season 1 and 2; NBC for most recent season 2 episodes.

Request #3
Fandom: Slow Horses
Characters: River Cartwright, Diana Taverner, Jackson Lamb, Catherine Standish
Preferred Pairings: Um... none romantic, but antagonistic mentor/student fits Lamb and River SO well. Don't deny it.
Prompt Ideas: River needs a hug (and therapy); backstory on WHY Lady Di trusts Lamb so much; Standish giving Lamb a piece of her mind; slow day at the office
Notes: I'm up to date with the most recent season. I'm still debating if River needs a hug, a Gibbs slap, therapy, or some combo of the three. And I'm talking about real therapy, not Coe therapy.
Where to find Apple TV

Request #4
Fandom: Watson (TV 2025)
Characters: Ingrid Derian, Sasha Lubbock, Shinwell Johnson, John Watson
Preferred Pairings: I'm not saying that Ingrid and Sasha SHOULD hook up but I won't be mad if they do.
Prompt Ideas: Ingrid and Sasha hash everything out; Shinwell on nurse rotation; Watson doing Watson things
Notes: I am up to date with this fandom, so no worries about spoilers.
Where to find Paramount+, CBS

One of my favorite comfort shows. I'm a camper and seeing them out in nature scratches the itch. I love their friendships. Both one on one and in a group.

Its a great low stakes anime that still takes time to show the day to day inconveniences and problems that come along with travel and life.

Would love anything from a new camping adventure. To life when they are older and stakes are a little higher. Or a day at room camp, dealing with school stuff.


So yeah this movie took me by all the tropey soft spots and shook. It's been years since I had a car movie that hit like this. I went into it with minimal hopes since we have had so many car movies as a vehicle for a spy thriller lately.

Sonny as the unchanging traveler. Asshole but working to stay on the right side of the line where he's not doing intentional harm.

Ruben as one of the oldest friends who's survived the years long periods of Sonny's breakdowns and comebacks. Needing a return favor but also offering another comeback. Protective but also an undercurrent of his own issues leaving the sport and past rivalry with Sonny.

Just give me an hour of them in random hole in the wall eateries. The cynic and the optimist. With some Cinderella stuff thrown in. And various intersections with ApexGP who are still a large part of Rubens life even if Sonny is trying to move on.

Kate! She's soooo pretty and her accent and how well she knows herself. And deserves all the pretty people she wants. Sonny as her cocky bad idea. But also kinda freeing that's he is enough of a selfcontained ass that he wouldn't expect her to change for him. Or do something she didn't want like her ex did.

Bernadette Pearce absolutely stole the show. No nonsense able to keep all the mem folk in line. Her sweet relationship with Ruben. Would love anything precanon. What does it look like raising a racer when you already lost a husband in the sport?

Charlie! OMG season 2 so excite. Her relationship is Nat in ep 1 is so sweet. I love how much they caretake for each other. Charlie all bold and brash and ready to kick teeth and Nat with actual long term consequences and an understanding of what their place in the world is.

I'd love to see Nat survive and them run off together to be codetectives and life partners in whatever level of platonic or sexiness that you prefer.

Or precanon, how Charlie ran from her life in Atlantic City and ended up in Vegas. What is it like to lose relationship with one family on one coast and end up trying to build your own life and found family on the other. Against a backdrop of two similar cultural cities.

Never understand why this didn't make a bigger splash like most of Shin'ichirô Watanabe's other series. The music, the pacing, the signature anti-hero with boundaries characters he's known for.

Would love a post canon fixit where Twelve and Nine survive. Healing up, learning to move on, etc as indicated in my likes.
