Recently the one-year anniversary of owning my Kia Forte and the 19-year anniversary of my brain surgery passed.

During last week's pain management appointment, my doctor brought two trainees/interns in and asked me if they could sit in on our consultation. When I said yes, I didn't realize I'd have to explain some things to them about Chiari I malformation, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, my brain surgery, and other ideas/procedures floated to treat me. It didn't help that I forgot the word "vertebrae" during the surgery talk and had to tell them that some of the small pieces that jut out of my spine were shaved down to make more room for my brain. When my doctor asked if they had questions, the woman asked if any other things were suggested to treat me, at which point I told her traction made things so much worse and I absolutely refused to get my neck fused as a result. (She also thought people realized they had Chiari just in childhood, and I had to say that if it doesn't become obvious in the victim's childhood, it often does in your 30s, which it did for me.)

Then an office worker came by to say there was food in the kitchen area and the two immediately disappeared for it, mid-consultation, while I and my doctor exchanged a "looking into the camera on The Office" look.

I told him that I sometimes get numbness, pain, or a burning agony on the front of my left thigh, which he said came from the spine, like the L3 area, and suggested I do certain stretches for it. The office had me take a cognition test, due to possible side effects of some of the medications I'm on, and I scored average in most areas and above average in one. I discovered during it that I can memorize five numbers at a time but not six.

+++

The "check brake light" dashboard alert is once again randomly coming on and turning itself off in my Kia Forte. Having replaced a wire, which worked for seven months, and replaced the brake light bulb and cleaned its housing, which worked for three months, my mechanics have no other idea what to do, and I don't trust Huntington Volvo, where I bought the car, after they gave me this car with four rotting tires on it and refused to get back to me on anything. Thus, I'm living with the alert when it's there. The way it activates with a loud, distracting ~ding~ every time sucks.

Since the government is still shut down, I'm not getting my November food money.

As part of my birthday month,

spatch just presented me with a little black cat bag containing the Criterion flash sale fruits of Orson Welles' The Immortal Story (1968), which I had loved at the start of this month.

I just want an extra week in the month to do nothing but sleep instead of talking to doctors and bureaucracies. I can't believe we are almost out of October. It should be an inexhaustible resource.

CLAIMED - PH #1: The Children Act - Ian McEwan, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous - Ocean Vuong, Wraeththu - Storm Constantine

Request 1 by 5_Paragraph_Essay
The Children Act - Ian McEwan
Characters: Fiona Maye (Children Act), Adam Henry (Children Act)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Aww, Adam loves Fiona so much! I adore the tenderness of their age-gap relationship as well as its inherent eroticism. Go there, PLEASE! Dive deeper into their feelings for one another, perhaps focus on Adam’s elaborate sexual fantasies of Fiona (he’s a teenage boy; even though he’s ill he must have them) and/or Fiona daring to imagine what it would be like with a much younger man. Alternatively, make them earn that happily-ever-after for real.

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous - Ocean Vuong
Characters: Trevor (On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous - Ocean Vuong), Little Dog (On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous - Ocean Vuong)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

This book and its elegiac prose moved me so much. I just want more of this tender first-love relationship! Outtakes from the farm, the barn, whatever. Even its bad ending, if you want to go there. I’m fine with treatment of drug addiction or excrement during anal sex, assuming that any of these more outré canon elements move you.

Request 3 by 5_Paragraph_Essay
Wraeththu - Storm Constantine
Characters: Abrimel (Wraeththu), Ponclast (Wraeththu)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Ponclast has one of the biggest character arcs of anyone in this mythos, from early Uigenna, to militaristic overlord for the Varr, to black widow mother of monsters, to … a kind of redemption on another planet/dimension? And I love how Abrimel intervenes in Ponclast’s journey, first to be manipulated for strategic gain, later love and be loved in return. I’d love more of their darkly tender relationship, perhaps more about their reunion, after the author leaves them to get on.

CLAIMED - PH #38: The Philosophers Series - Tom Miller, Bluestone 42 (TV), The Snopes Trilogy - William Faulkner

Request 1 by Zabbers
The Philosophers Series - Tom Miller
Characters: Sarah E. Stewart (Philosophers Series), Janet Brock (Philosophers Series), Hortense "Teeny" Millen (Philosophers Series), Worldbuilding (Philosophers Series)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

There's so much fun worldbuilding in these books and many specific possibilities for more worldbuilding, with hints of other spheres of expertise and future and past developments not fully described. There's something about systematized, empirical magic-making that's so satisfying; I enjoy the organized, institutional, even hierarchical touches in this universe. I liked the in-universe quotes from books, and reading about how specific sigils are done and were standardized, and learning about how women discovered and developed magic first as a folk practice and then brought it into the public sphere, and how it complements (and to a light extent even how it clashes with) parallel technological and cultural developments over its history. (The worldbuilding aspect I'm not as interested in is the political, whether that's Washington politics, Trenchers, or coups.)
Some things I'd like to see explored: how hovering develops in the future of the books side by side with conventional aviation (especially post-WWII); traditions and history of the United States Sigilry Corps; the immediately post-canon, pre-WWII lives of the characters nominated; Empirical Philosophy academia and texts and home instruction; County Philosophers and other jobs for sigilrists; Eupheus-powered travel; the General's Cup endurance flight; fiction about sigilry; camaraderie, sisterhood, and love (whether romantic or platonic) between empirical philosophers.
Other characters beyond my request who I also like are Robert Weekes, Gloxinia 'Jake' Jacobi, Edith Rubinski, Missy Pitcairn, Lennox Murchison, Bertie Synge, Emmaline Weekes, Brian Mayweather.
Feel free to diverge from the future hinted at in the books if you have a different idea for how the future of sigilry could go. I'd love it if in the latter half of the 20th century, empirical philosophy is 'allowed' back into legitimate use in the States, or an AU in which its practitioners never go into exile works too. In fact, feel free to diverge from the events in the books if you'd like, as long as you keep the physical way it works and the sense of scientific inquiry and traditions of the Corps and the schools and the many types of work women do with their philosophical skill.
Outside of canon-divergence, I also opt in to any fusion or crossover in which John Sheppard from Stargate Atlantis gets to use the hover sigil (please make him at least eventually as good at it as early Robert, anyone who can make her living at it, or any of the other Threes). I'm signed up for the Two for One sub-challenge. I welcome treats.

Bluestone 42 (TV)
Characters: Nick Medhurst (Bluestone 42), Philip Smith (Bluestone 42)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I just love this show, this unlikely comedy, with its clever humor in the face of very trying, high-tension circumstances, the rough and tumble camaraderie (bad jokes and terrible games to let off steam but also at the end of the day caring about and for each other's hurts and stresses in their awkward way), the fact that they actually are quite reasonably competent and responsible and professional (while acting like they're not) and well-trained even though you can really only be so prepared for something so difficult (and their weaknesses can get in the way), the jargon and protocols, the zippy and irreverent tone, the foibles and the insecurities and the quirks (you might say caricatures) and the way they face their fears.
I like to see them thrive, and for Bluestone 42 and the military in general to be somewhere that works pretty well for them each in their own way, somewhere they belong. They can be irreverent and jaded, but at the end of the day, it's a way of life they've all chosen. (Basically, I'm not looking for a critique or wider political picture beyond the tone of the show.)
This year, I especially have a hankering for Nick and the Colonel, their shared background that they know very well puts them kind of out of touch as much as out of reach, but that defines them for better and worse like any other culture, and they admit it and work with it; and the mentorship, which reflects that and also their personalities (wry and irreverent? perfectly willing to be self-serving sometimes and having to figure out how to turn that off when it's serious and the others' well-being becomes very important to them? reluctant to directly talk about things?). I love the mentorship, and the roundabout way it happens.
Other favorites include Mac, Rocket, and Bird.
I'm also always open to a Stargate Atlantis crossover in which the Bluestone 42 characters get deployed to the Pegasus Galaxy, or John Sheppard is seconded to Helmand, or these characters just know or meet each other. I'm signed up for the Two for One sub-challenge. I welcome treats.

The Snopes Trilogy - William Faulkner
Characters: Jack Houston (Snopes - Faulkner)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

He's a side character, a device for what happens with Mink and ultimately Flem Snopes, but he's so vivid, both in small behavioral details during the main narrative that convey his personality and in the extensive digression into the side story of his life. I have a weakness for his kind of taciturn, uncompromising, stern, prickly, suffers-no-fools, island-like, stoic-yet-deep-feeling character. The sense that what happens with him is kind of inevitable and has a momentum as quietly forceful as he is, and that he knows it and tries to escape it, but can't, is really compelling to me. I especially liked him in the horse-shoeing scene, the way he accepts no nonsense and instead just does what needs to be done himself, but without making a fuss about it or nor any concessions to social lubrication.
I'd just like more of him! Whether in his school years, his years away from home, or after he comes back; if you'd like to see what happens in a canon-divergence AU or somehow extract him from the difficult context of Yoknapatawpha County into an AU or fusion/crossover that's far-flung but preserves what he's like at the core (while exploring the differences the historical and cultural context--and maybe personal history--makes or doesn't make), that'd be very interesting to me too. I'm signed up for the Two for One sub-challenge, though I don't have any specific suggestions for fandoms to pair with. I welcome treats.

This morning was marked by construction on a loudly adjacent street, a constant window-juddering for hours from which I finally managed to fall asleep just in time to wake up for my doctor's apppointment. The amount of sleep on which I have run this last week is not sufficient to sustain intelligence. This meme I stole from

foxmoth might still have required thought to complete: the seven deadly sins of reading.

1. Lust, books I want to read for their cover.

None at the moment, but the mysterious attractiveness of cover art has in the past memorably led me to check out P. C. Hodgell's God Stalk (1982), Larry Niven's The Integral Trees (1984), and Tanith Lee's The Book of the Damned (1988).

2. Pride, challenging books I've finished.

In terms of personal time put in, Alasdair Gray's Lanark: A Life in Four Books (1981), Robert Serber's The Los Alamos Primer: The First Lectures on How to Build an Atomic Bomb (1992), and Yiannis (Anastasios Ioannis) Metaxas' Μετά όμως, μετά . . . (2017).

3. Gluttony, books I've read more than once.

I don't even keep track! Elizabeth Goudge's The Valley of Song (1951), Mary Renault's The Mask of Apollo (1966), Ursula K. Le Guin's The Complete Orsinia (2016).

4. Sloth, books on my to-read list the longest.

I don't keep a to-read list. I have failed to get around to whole chunks of the Western canon in English.

5. Greed, books I own multiple editions of.

Not counting books that had to be re-bought specifically because their original editions were perishing through use, Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita (1967), Patricia A. McKillip's Riddle-Master (1976–79), and Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast (1946–59).

6. Wrath, books I despised.

Books I disliked seem to slip from my mind more easily than the other kind, but I bounced definitely off Josephine Tey's The Franchise Affair (1948), Alan Moore's Watchmen (1987), and A. S. Byatt's The Children's Book (2009).

7. Envy, books I want to live in.

I do not want to live in most of the books I read for a variety of reasons, but from elementary through high school the answer would have been hands-down, one-way, Anne McCaffrey's Pern. These days I would take a study abroad in Greer Gilman's Cloud. Lloyd Alexander's Prydain remains the site of my sole official, never-written self-insert.

Appropriately enough to wind up a book meme, I have just been given two poetry collections in modern Greek by the friend of the family who has the olive groves outside Sparti. I remain amateur in the language and the Nikos Kavvadias looks incredibly maritime.

I did a night run into Manhattan to see window displays and found that I couldn't get close to Saks Fifth Avenue's windows because there was a cordon around the building as workers mounted giant "gems" on the structure, which is probably for the coming Christmas/holiday spectacle. I'm happy about this because last year, after about 15 years of building light shows and amazing things, Saks gave us nothing. Their window displays were sad and basic too. I did one pass of them, I only needed one pass. Bergdorf and Bloomingdale's I visited a few times.

As a reminder for why I was so pissed at Saks last year, this is what they had on the building for the Christmas/holidays in 2023. The zodiac clock for Carousel of Dreams. It would periodically do a whole light show with music. I was so sad when they disassembled it and took it down, the pieces going to parts unknown.

Dior has its whole building shrouded, so I'm wondering if they'll be doing something big. Last Christmas, Dior did this. (This was a temporary location, so they have a different building to work with this year.)

I did the run now because soon there will only be shrouds on window displays for weeks before the grand unveilings, with grand unveilings being anywhere from the teens to the twenties of November.

I've posted 25 photos of my current run--featuring some Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf Goodman, and Saks Fifth Avenue windows--on my Flickr. The Loro Piana displays at Bergdorf Goodman had a placard at the bottom of each explaining things about the House's history or their cashmere. I love the little goats on the scales in this window, Capra hircus goats representing the source of their cashmere. The thistles in one display represent the dried thistles traditionally used for teaseling their cashmere.

Przyłbice i kaptury – Kazimierz Korkozowicz
Characters: Ulryk von Jungingen (Przyłbice i kaptury – Kazimierz Korkozowicz)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Optional details:
The first chapter of this book is such a peanut gallery of all the adversaries of the story. This is my favourite characterisation of Ulryk in the literature so far. He's described in an incredibly sexy way, too, with eyes darkening in anger or sparkling in joy. During the introductory conversation, his mood switches from ire to amusement with the speed of a falling blade, and he manages to offend his late brother in front of a stranger.
And then there's Kuno! Obviously used to his master's volatile nature and making snarky remarks about it. Isn't that an interesting relationship? Why is the grand commander allowed to laugh at Ulryk's expense? How close are those two? Is there friendship or something more between them? Or maybe they're just two like-minded baddies united by common politics?
DNWs:
Animal death, especially no dead horses in the Battle of Grunwald, please. Don't hurt any dogs too.
(I'm fine with the characters eating meat or hunting for food, but if it's for sport, let them rather hunt pagans. Murder as many human characters as you wish. MCD is allowed by all means.)

Knights of the Teutonic Order (1960)
Characters: Ulrich von Jungingen - Knights of the Teutonic Order (1960)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Optional details:
Ulrich has a golden armour here! How cool is that? I'd be satisfied to receive a short piece with an armour kink.
Or, if you're thinking of something with a more ambitious plot, feel free to use Rotgier as well. Does Ulrich confront him about the kidnapped girl after the heroes of the story complain about it to the grand master of the Order? Or is he too busy seizing power or mourning his brother's death or both? If he acknowledges his underling’s fault, is he angry at him or does he brush the whole affair off, maybe even providing some plausible excuses to help to sweep it under the rug?
Or, a darker take: I've heard that the punishment for a Teutonic knight who broke the chastity vows was flogging administered by the grand master himself. I'd adore to see such a scene unfolding between Ulrich and Rotgier.

Piraci północy – Dariusz Domagalski
Characters: Ulryk von Jungingen (Piraci północy – Dariusz Domagalski)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Optional details:
This is an easy-to-read book, in which the characters have emotional depth as thick as a sheet of printing paper. Ulryk is evil here because the plot demands a punching bag for the main hero. But I love that for the main adversary of the story, of all the possible Teutonic knights, the author chose Ulryk. The idea that Ulryk von Jungingen and Klaus Störtebeker met in person is glorious. They also got an incredibly ~~cool~~ hot sword-fighting scene in the book. Maybe the fic could deal with the aftermath of that encounter?

Grunwald Monument
Characters: Ulrich von Jungingen (Grunwald Monument)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Optional details:
I know it was erected to honour king Jagiełło, but I'm not a big fan of him, and he's so distant on his high horse there. Whereas Ulrich is literally within one's hand reach (as you can see by his statue's fingers polished to gold by countless tourists). And isn't the sprawled pose marvellous? It's oddly satisfying on a primal level to see him thrown there at Vytautas’ feet, like one more war trophy from the battlefield.

Bluestone 42 (TV)
Characters: Nick Medhurst (Bluestone 42), Philip Smith (Bluestone 42)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I just love this show, this unlikely comedy, with its clever humor in the face of very trying, high-tension circumstances, the rough and tumble camaraderie (bad jokes and terrible games to let off steam but also at the end of the day caring about and for each other's hurts and stresses in their awkward way), the fact that they actually are quite reasonably competent and responsible and professional (while acting like they're not) and well-trained even though you can really only be so prepared for something so difficult (and their weaknesses can get in the way), the jargon and protocols, the zippy and irreverent tone, the foibles and the insecurities and the quirks (you might say caricatures) and the way they face their fears.
I like to see them thrive, and for Bluestone 42 and the military in general to be somewhere that works pretty well for them each in their own way, somewhere they belong. They can be irreverent and jaded, but at the end of the day, it's a way of life they've all chosen. (Basically, I'm not looking for a critique or wider political picture beyond the tone of the show.)
This year, I especially have a hankering for Nick and the Colonel, their shared background that they know very well puts them kind of out of touch as much as out of reach, but that defines them for better and worse like any other culture, and they admit it and work with it; and the mentorship, which reflects that and also their personalities (wry and irreverent? perfectly willing to be self-serving sometimes and having to figure out how to turn that off when it's serious and the others' well-being becomes very important to them? reluctant to directly talk about things?). I love the mentorship, and the roundabout way it happens.
Other favorites include Mac, Rocket, and Bird.
I'm also always open to a Stargate Atlantis crossover in which the Bluestone 42 characters get deployed to the Pegasus Galaxy, or John Sheppard is seconded to Helmand, or these characters just know or meet each other. I'm signed up for the Two for One sub-challenge. I welcome treats.

The Snopes Trilogy - William Faulkner
Characters: Jack Houston (Snopes - Faulkner)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

He's a side character, a device for what happens with Mink and ultimately Flem Snopes, but he's so vivid, both in small behavioral details during the main narrative that convey his personality and in the extensive digression into the side story of his life. I have a weakness for his kind of taciturn, uncompromising, stern, prickly, suffers-no-fools, island-like, stoic-yet-deep-feeling character. The sense that what happens with him is kind of inevitable and has a momentum as quietly forceful as he is, and that he knows it and tries to escape it, but can't, is really compelling to me. I especially liked him in the horse-shoeing scene, the way he accepts no nonsense and instead just does what needs to be done himself, but without making a fuss about it or nor any concessions to social lubrication.
I'd just like more of him! Whether in his school years, his years away from home, or after he comes back; if you'd like to see what happens in a canon-divergence AU or somehow extract him from the difficult context of Yoknapatawpha County into an AU or fusion/crossover that's far-flung but preserves what he's like at the core (while exploring the differences the historical and cultural context--and maybe personal history--makes or doesn't make), that'd be very interesting to me too. I'm signed up for the Two for One sub-challenge, though I don't have any specific suggestions for fandoms to pair with. I welcome treats.

...and having said that, I promptly noticed another fic starting with A that I could use. (It didn't occur to me till afterwards that I could sort my works page alphabetically in the filter settings, so I was scrolling through the 148 works on my stats page, including my currently anonymous pieces.)

Memed from various people on my flist:

Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for starting a fic title? One fic per line, ‘A’ and 'The’ do not count for 'a’ and ’t’. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count.

23/26 -- I'm missing Q, X, and Z, which is a fairly predictable result when you have over 100 fics published, I feel like. I mostly picked whichever fic for each letter I'm proudest of, or sometimes ones that represented a fandom I've written less, since I could probably have filled most of the list with just X-wing fics if I wanted to.

Somebody remind me to do that alphabet fic meme that's going around closer to the end of the year, because the only "A" fic I have that's neither the article "a" nor painfully old is currently in a fic exchange that's not yet revealed...

Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for starting a fic title? One fic per line, ‘A’ and 'The’ do not count for 'a’ and ’t’. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count.

( Read more... )

Final count: 21/26, from 51 works. The missing letters near the end of the alphabet were expected, but some of the earlier ones were a bit of a surprise.

LIke

astrogirl, I went for the first fic for each letter, saving only once or twice where I really didn't want to, because it's not as if it's a rule in this meme.

A - An Absolutely True And In No Way Fabricated Account of the Difficult, Dangerous and Entirely Improbable Invention of the Biscuit (Bleak Expectations, Sir Philip Bin)
B - Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me (Public Eye, Frank Marker/Helen Mortimer)
C - Cameo (Sapphire & Steel, Jasper, Tin, Jet)
D - Damned Giraffe (Discworld, Death, Death of Rats, A Giraffe)
E - Each A Glimpse And Gone Forever (Chalet School/Doctor Who, Seventh Doctor, Hilda Annersley, Ace McShane)
F - Fading Fast (Spooks, Ruth Evershed/Harry Pearce, Beth Bailey)
G - A Gallifreyan at Blandings (Blandings/Doctor Who, Tenth Doctor, Galahad Threepwood, Earl of Emsworth, Constance Keeble, Beach, the Empress of Blandings).
H - Half an Angel (Shadow of the Tower, Henry VII/Elizabeth of York)
I - I Do, I Do, I Do (The Month of Sundays Remix) (Doctor Who, Thirteenth Doctor/Most of her other selves, Yaz, Graham, Ryan).
J - Jo Grant, Assassin For Hire (Doctor Who. Jo Grant, the Brigadier, Third Doctor).
K - Keeping Secrets (Blake's 7, Dayna Mellanby/Del Tarrant)
L - Ladies in Waiting (The Hardest Part) (15th C RPF, Margaret Beaufort, Elizabeth of York).
M - Made For Each Other (Adam Adamant Lives! Adam Adamant & Georgina Jones).
N - Nature Is Red (Doctor Who, Tenth Doctor/Leela).
O - Of Elements and Existence (Sapphire & Steel/Discworld, Steel, Death, Sapphire, Ridcully, Silver, Nanny Ogg, Granny Weatherwax, Ponder Stibbons).
P - Painted Smiles (Blake's 7, Servalan).
Q - Quandrangle (Sapphire & Steel, Sapphire & Silver & Steel).
R - Random Factors (Good Omens/Doctor Who, Aziraphale, Vicki Pallister).
S - Salt of the Earth (Doctor Who, Mrs Martha Tyler, Jack Harkness, Twelfth Doctor).
T - Take the Second Path (OUaT, Regina Mills/Emma Swan, Rumplestiltskin, Cora Mills).
U - Unbreakable (OUaT, Regina Mills).
V - Valley of the Shadow (Dracula 1968, Jonathan Harker/Mina Harker).
W - Waiting For the Sky to Fall (Enemy at the Door, Philip Martel & Dieter Richter).
X -
Y - you asked me how i knew (my true love was true) (The Lady Vanishes, Iris Henderson/Gilbert Redman).
Z -

That was an interesting way to go through the fic, and a pretty representative mix of fandoms, really. Most surprising thing to me was that I only have one work beginning with K. And that's 24/26, as I don't have either an X or a Z, but those are hard letters to casually have in your titles. I clearly need to work on that, presumably in the SFF fandoms, heh.

This pinch hit is claimed, but you can always write a treat!

Damnation (TV)
Characters: Amelia Davenport (Damnation), Seth Davenport
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I will keep prompting this show even though it is now almost impossible to find. I love Seth and Amelia and I’m forever sad that this show got canceled. There's so little canon for this, and I would love to see their backstory. How did they first get together? Was it while Sal was alive? Were they a throuple? How did they get their (fake) wedding rings? What led them to where we find them at the beginning of the show? I really love the idea that, as little as they know about each other, they are in love/lust and it's not just for practical reasons that they're together, though I do love how well they work together. I've a huge passion for labor history (which is why I love the show!) so any historical details would be lovely.

Rope (1948)
Characters: Phillip Morgan, Brandon Shaw, Rupert Cadell, David Kentley
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I would love for them to get away with it, but I'd also devour any pre-film fic. Make it as fucked up, codependent, and unhealthy as possible, thanks. Give me two people unable to stay apart despite the trauma they cause. Hand in unlovable hand and all that.Them involving other characters in their mind games would be nice! I also LOVE jealousy when it comes to them. If Rupert shows up, please don't make him sympathetic.

Desert Peach
Characters: Pfirsich Rommel, Rosen Kavalier
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I recently got back into this series and I'm obsessed all over again. Pfirsich and Rosen's relationship is just endlessly fascinating to me. I particularly would love to see an exploration of their early days, how they got engaged, and just what keeps them together.

The Will Darling Adventures - K. J. Charles
Characters: Kim Secretan, Will Darling, Alfie Greenaway, Edward Molyneux
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I can never get enough of Will and Kim (and really, anyone in this series, but mostly Will and Kim). Really, write me anything about them and I will love it. I would love anything from the darkest angst to smut to pure fluff. I also love queer history and queer historical spaces, so anything that includes those is a plus. Just some random plot ideas that I would love:
*Anything with Kim crossdressing/crossdressing kink
*Drunk Sex! Intoxicated sex!
*Christmas fic! Buying presents for each other, visiting Phoebe and Maisie, decorating, seeing Kim's family (and everything that would entail)
*We know that Kim has taken abuse for his tastes in bed in the past, but what exactly did that entail? What and who made him feel so shameful about it? An examination of Kim’s past encounters would be great, especially through the lens of his relationship with Will. Go as dark or not as you wish. I’m thinking high levels of hurt/comfort and protective!Will for this one (“bring him round to my place and I’ll teach him some manners”). Will punching anyone who deserves it would be much appreciated.
*I would love something post-canon with Kim introducing Will to the gay sub-culture of 1920s London (or France, so Maisie and Phoebe can tag along?) Unashamedly queer Kim, awkward but game Will, and public displays of affection please! 1920s drink and/or drug use and semi-public sex, maybe? Teddy threesome? Cross-dressing Kim?
*Any emotionally-charged scene from the books from Kim’s POV
*Anything about what happened just before This Lord’s Father, Kim’s fingers, and the aftermath
*Give me a Will and Kim who are 50+ years old. What does that look like?

I'm romantic poet trash. Anything you write featuring these people would be lovely. Serious fic? Smutty threesomes at Lake Geneva? Pure crack? Modern AU text echanges? Whatever floats your boat.

Characters: Any
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Fandom Specific: Oppan, any characters
I would love something about Moe!! If you have seen the movie special I absolutely adore the plotline of her writing the manga about girls baseball, it really meant a lot to me and I would love to see that explored!!
Alternatively the relationship between Makoto and Kakeru is soooo important to me, something to do with Makoto continuing to get to know his son's interests better and Kakeru continuing to confide in him more would be lovely!
Or exploring Moe and Kakeru as siblings is always fun!! I love how much they support each other, maybe exploring putting one of them in a conflict/difficult situation and the other one supporting them through that?

I looooooove the part thats them running off to the safehouse together along with Rei's mother-in-law, I would really enjoy something post-canon, maybe with a road trip type vibe (in a happier circumstance this time) maybe through France ^^ I don't really mind if Yuto is there or not, or if you want to make them platonic or romantic as long as Rei and Eiko are the focus!! Maybe Taki could get to meet her cousin...that would be sweet

Chess - Rice/Ulvaeus/Andersson
Characters: Leonid Viigand, Alexander Molokov
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Fandom Specific: Chess, Leonid Viigand and Alexander Molokov
Lately I have been rotating them in my brain soooo much especially in a relationship. Married man Molokov having a fling with too young for him chess prodigy (I like infidelity plotlines don't be reserved about that if you don't want to)? Obsessed. I like it when Viigand is only focused on chess and kind of disinterested towards the rest of the world but maybe Molokov can coax him out of that, that would also work as a non-romantic dynamic if desired. Also I like it when Viigand is Girl I think she deserves a little transition as a treat.
I also think sex in relation to getting Viigand away from chess/trying to distract him could be fun. Viigand who has not really considered himself as a sexual being as he's too busy with chess discovering that side of things...
I love chess space race aus please put them up there. its fun

A Room with a View (1985)
Characters: Lucy Honeychurch (ARWAV), Mr. Emerson (ARWAV), George Emerson (ARWAV), Freddy Honeychurch (ARWAV)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

This movie has quietly eaten my brain this year, as my AO3 account will tell you. I want way too many things in it, so check out my letter for (way too many) prompts!
Fandom-specific DNWS and Notes: Feel free to use any canon from the book you need to to fill in the narrative cracks, I'm well-versed in it. I don't like much of the book's decades-later-written epilogue, however, so avoid it if you can.
My other caveat, is that if you're going to switch things up and either have them class-swap or put the movie in a different era or setting, please don't simplify the difference between the two of them. By that I mean: do not simply make George just a little poorer than Lucy, like Kevin Kwan did in "Sex and Vanity" and that's it. They should be in two entirely different social or economic classes - and therein the tension.
Also, though I couldn't fit them in, I love Cecil, Marian, The Miss Alans, Minnie, Eleanor and Charlotte and would love to see them pop up in any minor role you might have for them, should you so feel they're necessary. Background Freddy/Ceil and Eleanor/Charlotte always welcomed!

PROMPTS
* All the angry discussions lead to all the angry fucking, lead to accidentally maybe having feelings. Or THANK FUCK YOU'RE ALIVE frantic fucking on the battlefield with accidental love confessions.
* They argue and they spar it out and the sexual tension builds and builds until they can't anymore.
* Some case leads to them having to rough it out in nature and they kind of grow closer while surviving in the (magical) wilderness (hiking! Rockclimbing! Forest survival, huddling for warmth, hunting food, honest conversations by the fireside, oh no there is only one tent/bedroll in the cave).
* Pack dynamics and courting rituals! I don't think we've ever seen Clan Heavy or Herbivore courting rituals. How would those even look? But also all the traditional food related stuff, combined with that Wilmington Pack (mostly safe-house) life. Maybe one of them catches feelings and starts a wooing campaign. Or maybe they've had a casual fucking thing, but something happens that makes one of them decide to go for it for real.
* I'm into allllll the animalistic sex and urges you can think of. Scenting, biting, knotting, claiming, comeplay, bloodplay. Partially shifting during sex, sex in half-form or fully shifted, one or both parties.
* I'm really interested in how different their species and Clan's are, and how that might translate in courting rituals, or just them understanding each other's thinking patterns and body language, and the misunderstandings that might come from that.
* Owen getting hurt and Troy having to heal him hands on, while struggling with his attraction/feelings. Troy having a hard time with Owen always putting himself at risk and throwing himself head first into danger.
Both of them getting a little out of control during a magic flare.

PROMPTS
Anything, seriously. Since this is a Dutch series that's barely been translated, feel free to write in Dutch (I'm from Belgium) if you'd find that easier, but English is definitely okay as well.
* Fic that explores the world-building and expands on the plot. All the rebuilding after the third invasion. How has Thule fundamentally changed? How does the world change? Do the political agreements stick?
* Or fic more focused on the country and nature. Hikes in the wild, romantic dates, family dates, just exploring Thule. I really like the traveling parts of these books, and now that Elvira is actually a part of the ountry, I'd love to see Thule through her eyes now she's no longer constantly fearing for her life.
* Tjalf and Elvira building a life together, including all the culture clashes. Elvira might have fallen in love with Thule and Tjalf, they're both very different people from very different cultures and social classes. How do they deal with this? What will they do in life? Where will they live? Just, Elvira settling in in Thulean culture.
* All the romance. Thulean wooing must be a thing, and I always was super bummed that it was mostly glossed over in the books. They have that glorious moment at the end of book three, but argh, let there be more romancing.
* All the first time fic, especially first times that aren't fraught but a little clumsy and nice. Outdoors sex, because hell yeah nature. Pegging because YES, and also Tjalf seems like someone who'd ask for that himself. I think it'd be fun for Elvira to wrap her head around that and then fully embrace it :) I'm really into the idea of Elvira letting the restraints of Baden go, and exploring her sexuality and findiing freedom in that.

Violent (and bloody) sex is fine, as long as there is some kind of positive resolution at the end.
PROMPTS
* Building directly on the open ending of the book: Will Nori eventually give Condari his shirt back? Will Condari manage to hire Nori as a scout? The politics of this series are so complicated and convoluted, I'd love something that ran with that, and made sense of everything that was set-up in the Wolf in Night Book.
* The sexual tension between these two is so palpable, at some point in their future together it is so going to break. Possibly at the worst possible moment. Ideally somewhere in the wilderness, so they can roll through the leaves, pin each other against trees and destroy some bushes in the process. Blood and violence optional. Another possible scenario for the UST to break would be sparring turning into sex. Have them playfight, train, be all sweaty and filled with adrenaline, and BOOM Condari's nice clothes get shredded. Twice, because obviously Nori was wearing his shirt.
* Obviously the telepathic wolves are canon, but I would love an AU where either one of them is some kind of animal shifter. Cue even more animalistic desires. You can go all out here, empathy, telepathy, throw in soul bonds. The whole plethora of shifter romance tropes are awesome, like Heats, Knotting, Scent Marking, Claiming Bites etc.
* They're both from different countries, so I'm totally here for a political marriage, where they're both convinced the other is only doing it for the political motivations, and all the angst and pining and messy things that come with that.
* Related: the world has a lot of weird and complicated social structures, so I would like to read about them getting married (either established relationship, or arranged marriage for political reasons), and that involving Ritual Sex. There's the whole canon thing of having stones grafted on the breastbones, so I feel like Public Ritual Sex wouldn't be that far off.
* Adventures on the road. These books are filled with rock-climbing, fighting raiders, fighting nature, lots of exciting traveling. I would love for more of that, and them having to work together to survive in the wilderness. Rishte being fond of Hunter would be extra cherries on top.

The Thorne Chronicles - K. Eason
Characters: Samur | The Regent-Consort (The Thorne Chronicles), Rupert | The Vizier (The Thorne Chronicles)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Okay, asking for two side characters in a fandom that doesn't yet exist on AO3 is probably a long shot, but what else is Yuletide for?
A friend gave me the first of these books, and almost immediately, I found myself absorbed less by our heroine's adventures than by the dynamic between her mother and her mentor. Mutual respect and trust heavily underlaid by unspoken, yet obvious, longing for more? Significant use of names vs titles? Characters who put political goals and other loyalties ahead of their personal desires and the serious conflict that results? Complementary competence? Yes please!
I wish we had gotten so much more of Samur, and of this relationship, in the second book.
I'd love to see any missing scenes between the two of them during or between the books, or maybe a future political situation that throws these characters together again and forces them to work through their disagreement--the second book left off with plenty of opportunity for that. There's also lots of scope for canon divergence AUs, with Samur making different choices in the first book as just one branching off point. I absolutely ship this, but I'm good with anything from canon-typical interactions to the two of them reconciling and finding a way to get together despite the political situation.
I'm really interested in further exploration of everything we don't see about Samur, in particular, both in her backstory and through the events of the books. It's mentioned that combat training is important to people from Kreshti--what does that mean to her? Who was she before her first marriage, other than motivated by duty above all else? Why would someone in her position keep, effectively, a mood ring in a pot on her desk?
DNW: non-canonical rape, sexual violence, or threats of either; underage sex; infidelity; PWP; AUs except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap; incest
Re: rape and sexual violence, I don't count obligatory sex between participants in political marriages, even if they aren't particularly attracted to one another, as long as they enter into both the marriage and the sex with some degree of personal choice. Basically, feel free to talk about Samur's second marriage
Re: infidelity--if you write attraction between Samur and Rupert during her first marriage, please make it entirely unspoken and not something either would consider acting on. If you write shipfic during her second marriage, I'd prefer it to occur after an informal separation from her husband or in the context of an open marriage.

Shogun (TV 2024)
Characters: Yoshii Toranaga, Toda Mariko
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

This was one of my favorite shows of 2024! Atmospheric and visually stunning, twisty politics everywhere, and the personal inextricably caught up in the political in ways that are absolute catnip to me.
I found Mariko's character incredibly compelling and was fascinated by her relationship to Toranaga. I would love to see further exploration of that--not only by seeing the two of them interacting directly (though I wish they'd had more one-on-one scenes and would love to read some) but also by seeing them respond to or affect one another from more of a distance. It would be fine to have a story focused on Mariko's perspective where Toranaga is rarely present on-page, for example, as long as his influence is felt throughout. That could include missing scenes from Mariko's youth, details of her father's death and Mariko coming to understand Toranaga's plans afterward, the development of her loyalty to him and the ways in which that's due to family duty vs. personal inclination. How much of her obedience to him is reluctant, and how much comes from genuine trust?
I love canon divergence AUs, and there could be loads of interesting ones for this fandom with all kinds of domino effects. Mariko's marriage is arranged to someone else, for different advantages--perhaps she becomes consort to the late Taikō instead of Ochiba, and Toranaga finds ways to use this? Or she's even married off to Toranaga himself? Her father isn't the one to kill Lord Nobuhisa?
Ships for this fandom: I'm fine with explorations of Mariko's canonical relationships with her husband and Blackthorne as long as the main focus is on Mariko herself, or how those relationships are useful to Toranaga. I'm also interested in her history with Lady Ochiba and am very very open to Mariko/Ochiba. Other references to canon ships are totally fine.
DNW: non-canonical rape, sexual violence, or threats of either (unless specifically in the context of an arranged marriage or a consortship, and then please restrict depictions to fade-to-black); non-canonical underage sex (references to canonical instances are fine, but nothing on-page, please); PWP; AUs except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap; incest
My usual DNWs of infidelity and suicide/suicidal ideation don't apply to this fandom.

Merlin Series - Mary Stewart
Characters: Any
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I always have trouble figuring out how to phrase this request, beyond "Please write me something that makes me feel like I felt when reading these books." To be slightly more specific, I want to drown in the setting, the prose, the particularly numinous quality of the magic, the depictions of music, the characters' sense of history, the loyalty and love Merlin has for Ambrosius and Arthur (and Arthur in particular has for Merlin), all the mentor/protegee dynamics, the beauty and tragedy of the whole thing. Also--these books were terribly good to me in delivering the "I thought you were dead but you're not!" trope, and I absolutely would not say no to more of that.
Would love canon divergence AUs (maybe: Merlin does choose to train Morgause when she asks; Ambrosius lives longer); future fic (maybe: Niniane and Arthur working together to rule his kingdom); action and adventure or worldbuilding or intrigue, give me any or all of it.
I'm open to either gen or shipfic for this fandom and have no real OTP, but Merlin & Ambrosius and Merlin/ or & Arthur are both particularly lovely.
More fandom-specific prompts, plus general likes and preferences, in the letter.
DNW: non-canonical rape, sexual violence, or threats of either; non-canonical underage sex (references to canonical instances are fine, but nothing on-page, please); PWP; canon-atypical infidelity (open or undernegotiated relationships are fine); AUs except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap; references to suicide or suicidal ideation; parent/child incest; Merlin/Morgause unless it's a f!Merlin AU

I love everything about Gyula - I'd love to hear the story of where and how he learned any of the things he knows, including whatever digs he was on with Károly where he learned so much about the Iazyges! I'm also obsessed by how much he wants to just get shit done and how dedicated he is to changing things, even when Károly and the Professor try to talk him down, even when all the rest of them accept life as it is, he just never gives up. I'd love him to be narratively allowed to do the industrial revolution he dreams of :3 Maybe they all (or Gyula alone) time travels to earlier in history, when Mátyás was less constrained by war and necessity and had more time to deal with them? Of course Gyula alone would have difficulties of his own, since he's not exactly a historian, but he'd put his head down and get on with it I'm sure :D
I will happily ship Gyula with anyone and everyone, including OCs <3

I love this version of László - how his grief turns to anger turns to menace so fast when he's dealing with Ulrich and Ladislaus, how passionate he is with Maria, and how sweet he is with Matthias, coaxing him on that of course he'll find some girl who likes him someday :D He contains multitudes! I completely adore how he's so capable, and yet there's still that streak of impulsive overconfidence and that trust that leads him to disaster.
I'd love anything more about him - precanon fic with his parents? More about his relationship with Maria, or his relationship with Matthias? Or AU where he doesn't die (permanently) is also very welcome! Maybe he's imprisoned or banished (I always love a gay-marriage-disinheritance-AU)? I also love ghosts and other supernatural ways for people to not perma-die, as well as time travel! If you're continuing past the point where he dies, feel free to either follow the continuity of the series or go as divergent-AU as you'd like.
I will happily ship László with anyone except King Ladislaus or Ulrich and gen is of course always welcome.
I'm also very fond of the messenger that comes to tell Erzsébet that Ulrich is dead, that poor guy lol. I'd love to know more about him if you'd like to include him. Maybe he was with János and László for a long time? :D

---
There are so many just narratively fascinating stories in this bio that I'd love fic about! Tell me more about Matthias doing his own army's recon, getting captured, and talking himself out of it by pretending to be a local groom! Or what it was like for those months trapped alone in Prague after Ladislaus died, not knowing what was going to happen to him. Or struggling with Mihály for control of the government, or deciding he couldn't risk war with the Ottomans and had to imprison Vlad, or finding out just in time about any of the plots against him... I love terrible things happening to him and him coming back from them stronger, colder, more resilient <3
I'm also very interested though in more slice of life stuff: tell me about a day in the life of the roman military history nerd, the renaissance art superfan, the soldier, the diplomat, the propagandist, the guy who fell in love at first sight at a dance. I am really into the speculations Kubinyi makes about his personality/motivations throughout all these!
And I always love time travel, any variety of it, from historical characters going to the future, people from the future coming back, or people time traveling back to their younger selves.
I'll ship Matthias with anyone who isn't DNWed; ocs are welcome in ship as well as gen fic.r a long time? :D

This is one of my absolute favorite films - the weird, dreamy atmosphere combined with the raw, horny discomfort of being a teenager. Especially being a teenager. I love the metaphorical power of becoming someone else (and having it passed on by other people), I love the way it's about women support each other, I love how gross it is and how… understanding it is of how selfish and kind teen girls can be. I love how it captures that weird complicated feeling of knowing that the adults in your life love you and want to help you however they can, but also that they can't always help you. It's just… urgh. And the way that they all get together to save the girls, the way they defeat her father… urgh. I love it. I love it so much. It's such a weirdly kind film, an understanding film, but also vicious and painful in all the best ways possible. The whole world of it feels so hyper-real, from the way everyone talks to the endless use of mirrors. The way that everything is just a little too gross (… the blood vomit scene) but also so very… real? I think this is the first film I've ever seen where someone's period blood became a plot device, and I'm all for it. And just the… strangeness that comes with growing up, from joining a community, from realizing that you're part of a long line of people who are like and unlike you. I think there's so much fun to be had in this world, with these characters.

This is an odd little film. I didn't entirely know what I was expecting when I put it on, but going from That opening scene (the hanging!) moving to Mother and Izzy singing together in their badass corpse makeup… it all feels so very isolated and off balance, and I mean that as the highest compliment. I love the claustrophobic openness of the setting - the way it's just the two of them in the woods, even after she meets the other girl. And I love the way that so much of it is about the ways people hurt each other, the ways people are connected to the natural world. The way that it's about growing up and finding out who you are - what you are - and how dangerous that can be for those around you, the way you can pull away from your parents and what that might mean. What it means to be part of society versus pointedly not of society, the way that Izzy didn't get a choice of being in society versus Mother did, the dangers of it all… it's such a juicy contrast, and there's so many fun things you can do with it!

I love this movie so much. It's so… ridiculous and so sincere at the same time. The way that it talks about income inequality and the unfairness of capitalism. The way it points out sexism. The fact that at one point Rebecca Romijn's character puts her whole arm down into her husband's neck… altogether A+. It has weird incest vibes if you wanna go towards there, it's got fun weird femslash vibes if you want to go there, it's got fun world building… it's an altogether excellent fun romp, & I really recommend it if you want a fun, ridiculously gory horror movie with a surprising amount of heart!

CLAIMED - PH #3: The Blood Opera Sequence - Tanith Lee, La Morte Vivante | Living Dead Girl (1982), The Masquerade Series - Seth Dickinson

This pinch hit is claimed, but you can still post a treat!

Request 1 by Assimbya
The Blood Opera Sequence - Tanith Lee
Characters: Rachaela Day, Althene Simon
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I love these peculiar books and I in particular love Rachaela and Althene and their relationship so so much. Rachaela's isolation and aloneness and constricted sense of possibility move me so much, and the way that all of that opens up for her when she meets Althene, including the possibility for meaningful emotional (and sexual!) connection with another person, is incredibly touching. I am likewise moved by Althene's poise and grace and fortitude, the ways she has made a meaningful life for herself despite her horrific experiences of abuse.
I would love a story that gives me more about Rachaela and Althene's relationship than the novels had space for. I would be interested in any stage in their relationship - when they are first falling in love during Personal Darkness, or the tension around their parenting of Anna in Darkness, I, or maybe especially what happens for them after the end of trilogy, when so much has been thrown into tumult for them both. I would be fascinated to see an imagining of how they might be able to rebuild their relationship in the wake of everything that happens in the third novel, and how they find their way to one another.
I think their romance (especially the early scene of Althene's advances to Rachaela) is very sexy, and would be pleased with a story that played with more of that (what if they feel moved to some more typical Scarabae customs together, like the blood drinking?). However, if that's not what you're feeling moved to, I would be equally glad for a more emotion-focused story.
If you're not feeling the shippy angle right now, I would also love to see an exploration of some of the parts of Althene's long life of which we get only hints in the books, especially if it involves some Scarabae world building. If you decide to take this angle, it's okay for Rachaela to play a more minor role.
As far as crossovers: I am not a big crossover person in general, but if you come up with an idea to cross these books with another Tanith Lee novel I would be all of it.
DNWs for this fandom: please no setting changing AUs (canon divergence is awesome!), slapstick humor, or explicit sexual content with anyone younger than adolescence (references to the child abuse in Althene's backstory is fine). I know pregnancy is a pretty big part of this story and I have no problem with that showing up, but I'd prefer the biological elements of it not be a major focus.

La Morte Vivante | Living Dead Girl (1982)
Characters: Catherine Valmont, Hélène (Living Dead Girl)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

This movie started my journey with Jean Rollin's film, and it remains one of my favorites of his. I love Rollin's haunting style, the unanswered questions in the world-building, the tragedy of the ending, and most of all, the potent devotion and heartbreak in the relationship between Catherine and Héléne. Héléne loves Catherine so much, and is willing to do horrific things for her sake, but in the end it can never be enough. The ending to the film absolutely breaks my heart in its tragic eroticism.
I would love a story that gives me more of this relationship, and of the bond between them, in any form. I ship it (obviously!) and would love a story that makes the subtext text as far as the nature of Héléne's love for Catherine, but if you don't want to go there, that's totally okay. A missing scene from the film, or an AU that gives them an ending in which Héléne doesn't have to die and their bond with one another can continue, would all be fascinating to me. I'm happy for a story for this fandom to be as dark and tragic and sexy as you want to make it.
I'd also be delighted with a story that gives us more of Catherine's interiority, which is left so tantalizingly ambiguous in the film itself. What is her experience of being undead? How does she perceive the world? What is her sense of continuity or discontinuity with her living self? If you'd prefer to write a more Catherine-focused story, it's fine for Héléne to be decentered or even not present.
I'm typically not much of a crossover person, but if you have an idea for a crossover between this and one of Rollin's other films I would be interested to read it! Also: there's a lot of gore in this movie and I'm totally fine with that level of content being reflected in your story, but I'm more interested in the psychodynamics of the horror than the details of the gore in themselves.
DNWs for this fandom: please no setting changing AUs (canon divergence is awesome!), slapstick humor, graphic focus on animal harm, or explicit sexual content with anyone younger than adolescence.

Request 3 by Assimbya
The Masquerade Series - Seth Dickinson
Characters: Iscend Comprine
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

This is a request I've been repeating for several years! Will you, dear writer, be the one who finally fulfills it? Fine if you're not! But if you are, I remain as invested as ever.
So. I adore Iscend, and I've wanted more of her since I first read these books. I love how her story shows how humanity and agency can still exist even within the context of such deeply insidious and devastatingly global conditioning. The steps that she takes to regain her agency move me and fill me with so much excitement (using her own trigger word on herself! using her own trigger word on herself!). I loved the scene with Baru in which she describes the pleasure she felt during her training as an act of resistance, and the way she explains her reasoning behind sexually engaging with Baru.
I would love a story focused on Iscend in any way, whatever part of her life you would like to explore. Something that takes us beyond the end of Tyrant and shows Iscend continuing her journey to find her autonomy would be amazing, as would a story that shows us her life before her appearance in the series. I would be especially interested in some exploration of Iscend's relationship with Torrinde, which we can only assume from hints about how Torrinde feels about and engages with the Clarified. If you are interested in getting inside Iscend's mind and showing us what her internal experience looks like, I would be over the moon.
I don't particularly ship Iscend with anyone, but wouldn't say no to some complexly power dynamic-y stuff between her and Baru; if you have another ship for her I'd also be willing to be sold on it! I am happy to see any characters, nominated or not, included. Also feel free to take your story as dark as you want to with some of the more thorny parts of canon, or the hints we get about how horrific the training the Clarified receive is.
Note re DNWs for this fandom: for this prompt I would be okay with a story that deals with the sexually abusive implications of the Masquerade's policies in childhood education/the training of the Clarified, but I would want this content to be treated as traumatic and not titillating.

Also: post-canon meddling or other plotty fic. 5 books Arabella published (and what came of them)

Spymaster Series - Joanna Bourne
Characters: Justine de Cabrillac, Adrian "Hawker" Hawkhurst
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

So writer, if your long standing dream has been to write canon-typical plotfic, I would be so ecstatic! Couples working and bantering together is always one of my favorite things to read, and the espionage aspect of this series is a particular strength . While we see a lot of glimpses of the Adrian-Justine relationship, I think there’s always room for more, so whether you want to add a post-canon adventure, or invent one we didn’t see between flashbacks, it would be great!
Something that plays with outsider POVs would also be so fascinating, again, at any time during the series; or, what a happily ever after looks like for these two crazy kids.
*DNW caveat: it’s okay to acknowledge canon-accurate mentions of prior assault, but I would really prefer that it be kept to a minimum, with no on-screen incidences.
I was lucky enough to get amazing Cami/Pax exchange fic for the prompt "5 ways they didn't meet and one way they did" and if you want to adapt that (or another 5+1 AU format) to Adrian and Justine's story, that would be great!
Finally, although I haven’t formally requested her, Annique (and her irreverent narration) is always a delight.
Treats welcome!

Epistolary fic and multimedia fic! This could take different forms depending on fandom, considering the various flavours of canon in my sign-up, but I’m up for anything from magical demon- or fox-based messaging to fic set entirely on social media.
Any kind of episode tag or missing scene-type fic.

Canon, but with Added Magic/Sci-Fi Elements - curses, spells, hauntings and so forth, even if the canon usually doesn’t have any. (For fantasy canons, feel free to invent new stuff!)

My fave is Lee Jun-seong, but Park Min-woo follows close behind him. I also do love Song Jae-hyo, though I'll admit it's a love-hate relationship at times! If you kill Song Jae-hyo off in your fic, that is okay, as it is canonical; however, if you want to spare him, I would be happy to see it! For this show I shipped all three main characters in every configuration--Jun-seong/Min-woo was my OTP, but I also shipped Jun-seong/Jae-hyo, Min-woo/Jae-hyo, and Jun-seong/Jae-hyo/Min-woo. So if you're planning on writing a ship fic, any of those ships is good in my book :D :D :D Specific prompts in letter.

You do not have to include all three characters, but please include at least Oh Hee Dong and one of the other two (Oh Gwan Seok or Yang Jeong Suk).
Very interested in Hee-dong and Gwan-seok's complex sort of parental sort of accomplices relationship. How ruthless is Gwan-seok willing to be with Hee-dong? Where would he draw the line? I also love Yang Jeong-suk, sort of the classier (and also feminine) mirror to all of Gwan-seok's crew's scheming and squabbling over money; she's not so different from them but tries to stay a step above. And also I love her shady, sort of dub-con affair with Hee-dong.
Ship-wise, I enjoy Hee-dong and Jeong-suk's dynamic, but I'm not too picky. I'd also be up for shipping Hee-dong with Seon-ja, Jeon-chul, Beol-gu, probably anyone else you can come up with. Or poly combinations thereof. And I'm also interested in gen fic.

CLAIMED - PH #9: Aveyond (Video Games), Quasimorph (Video Game), Geneforge

This pinch hit is claimed, but you can still post a treat!

Request 1 by DreckDetritusAndDross
Aveyond (Video Games)
Characters: Te'ijal Ravenfoot
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I have a headcanon that Te'ijal Ravenfoot is a psychopath. I would love a story that explored this concept further, delving into how Te'ijal's psychopathy would affect/recontextualize both her interactions with her colleagues and her actions throughout the Aveyond games. Furthermore, content that supplements those already in the Aveyond games, such as extra conversations or scenes, would also be welcome.
DNW: Unrequested kinks, mundane/setting change AUs, Te'ijal being "cured" of her psychopathy (i.e. being made neurotypical), Te’ijal character bashing*, neurodivergence being used to excuse bad behavior**.
*Given the stigma surrounding psychopathy, I understand if there is any confusion over this specific DNW. Let me make this clear: psychopaths are still people; having little or no empathy or emotional intelligence does not make one categorically evil or dangerous. For the purposes of this prompt, Te’ijal should be a person with both rights and accountability.
**Using neurodivergence to excuse bad behavior sounds something like this: “She can’t take responsibility for her actions because she can’t control herself/she doesn’t know what she’s doing/her brain isn’t wired correctly/etc.”
On a related note, I am fine with the inclusion of sanist language, bigotry, and/or violence as long as it is not presented as ethically/morally correct by the story itself. Keep in mind that hostility towards a neurodivergent offender in retaliation to the offender perpetrating antisocial behavior, such as inflicting harm upon or violating the rights of others, is not necessarily sanism.
On another related note, I am also fine with Te'ijal receiving treatment for her psychopathy as long as it does not fall into the trope of curing neurodivergence.
Disclaimer: Psychopathy is not a condition that one can be clinically diagnosed with. The proper diagnostic term for people exhibiting behavior commonly associated with psychopathy is antisocial personality disorder. However, the term "psychopathy" is still useful as a descriptor for a distinct pattern of behavior within the spectrum of antisocial personality disorder.
P.S.: Below are some helpful resources if you need to do research on psychopathy or antisocial personality disorder. Of course, feel free to use other sources for further research.

P.P.S.: If you are unfamiliar with the concept of sanism, several definitions with sources are provided below. Like before, feel free to consult additional resources.
From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanism): “Sanism, saneism, mentalism, or psychophobia refers to the systemic discrimination against or oppression of individuals perceived to have a mental disorder or cognitive impairment.”
From The Ability Toolbox (https://theabilitytoolbox.com/sanism-mental-illness/): “Sanism is prejudice against people with mental illness. Sanism can take the form of harassment, bullying, violence, and discrimination in healthcare, employment, housing, and other aspects of daily life.”
From Simmons University Library (https://simmons.libguides.com/anti-oppression/anti-sanism): “Sanism often stems from the "pathology paradigm [that] ultimately boils down to just two fundamental assumptions:
1. There is one 'right,' 'normal,' or 'healthy' way for human brains and human minds to be configured and to function (or one relatively narrow 'normal' range into which the configuration and functioning of human brains and minds ought to fall).
2. If your neurological configuration and functioning (and, as a result, your ways of thinking and behaving) diverge substantially from the dominant standard of 'normal,' then there is Something Wrong With You." (from Nick Walker)”

Quasimorph has become my greatest special interest over the past couple of years. One of the most fascinating things about it is the cyberpunk, science-fantasy dystopia portrayed in that game. I'd love a story that explores not just the lives of those who live in the anarcho-capitalist paradigm in Quasimorph. The scope of the available characters in this request covers the most violent, destructive, and brutal element of Quasimorph's society: the private military sector, as exemplified by both the soldier Francis Reid-Daly, and the proprietor John Hawkwood. My interests for a story in this fandom include: character studies, worldbuilding, action scenes, and violence (including blood and gore). Darkfics are welcome for this request.

Przyłbice i kaptury – Kazimierz Korkozowicz
Characters: Ulryk von Jungingen (Przyłbice i kaptury – Kazimierz Korkozowicz)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Optional details:
The first chapter of this book is such a peanut gallery of all the adversaries of the story. This is my favourite characterisation of Ulryk in the literature so far. He's described in an incredibly sexy way, too, with eyes darkening in anger or sparkling in joy. During the introductory conversation, his mood switches from ire to amusement with the speed of a falling blade, and he manages to offend his late brother in front of a stranger.
And then there's Kuno! Obviously used to his master's volatile nature and making snarky remarks about it. Isn't that an interesting relationship? Why is the grand commander allowed to laugh at Ulryk's expense? How close are those two? Is there friendship or something more between them? Or maybe they're just two like-minded baddies united by common politics?

Optional details:
Ulrich has a golden armour here! How cool is that? I'd be satisfied to receive a short piece with an armour kink.
Or, if you're thinking of something with a more ambitious plot, feel free to use Rotgier as well. Does Ulrich confront him about the kidnapped girl after the heroes of the story complain about it to the grand master of the Order? Or is he too busy seizing power or mourning his brother's death or both? If he acknowledges his underling’s fault, is he angry at him or does he brush the whole affair off, maybe even providing some plausible excuses to help to sweep it under the rug?
Or, a darker take: I've heard that the punishment for a Teutonic knight who broke the chastity vows was flogging administered by the grand master himself. I'd adore to see such a scene unfolding between Ulrich and Rotgier.

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Optional details:
This is an easy-to-read book, in which the characters have emotional depth as thick as a sheet of printing paper. Ulryk is evil here because the plot demands a punching bag for the main hero. But I love that for the main adversary of the story, of all the possible Teutonic knights, the author chose Ulryk. The idea that Ulryk von Jungingen and Klaus Störtebeker met in person is glorious. They also got an incredibly ~~cool~~ hot sword-fighting scene in the book. Maybe the fic could deal with the aftermath of that encounter?

Optional details:
I know it was erected to honour king Jagiełło, but I'm not a big fan of him, and he's so distant on his high horse there. Whereas Ulrich is literally within one's hand reach (as you can see by his statue's fingers polished to gold by countless tourists). And isn't the sprawled pose marvellous? It's oddly satisfying on a primal level to see him thrown there at Vytautas’ feet, like one more war trophy from the battlefield.

Shogun (TV 2024)
Characters: Usami Fuji, Toda Mariko, John Blackthorne
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

So I loved this adaptation for many reasons, not least for the attention paid to the female characters relating to each other. Introducing Mariko not in Blackthorne’s pov but with Fuji, and giving us Fuji’s tragedy on screen instead of as backstory being a case in point. And I’ve been longing for a story exploring their relationship ever since. How did Fuji see Mariko in the early years of her marriage to a Samurai serving House Toda? Did she hear gossip about Mariko, either her family or her becoming a Christian or both? After the death of her son changed everything for Fuji, did this change her perspective on Mariko? As this Fuji won’t commit seppuku but will live (albeit as a nun), as opposed to the book version: what made her change her mind from wanting death, what part did Mariko’s fate and decisions play in that? I also loved Fuji’s and Blackthorne’s final scene, and if you want to explore their relationships as well, especially under the aspect of having to let go of the past and starting a new life, by all means, though I’d rather have it as friendship.

Memoirs of the Borgia Sybil - Jo Graham
Characters: Alessandro Farnese | Pope Paul III (Memoirs of the Borgia Sybil - Jo Graham), Giulia Farnese (Memoirs of the Borgia Sybil - Jo Graham), Rodrigo Borgia | Pope Alexander VI (Memoirs of the Borgia Sybil - Jo Graham), Dionisio Treschi (Memoirs of the Borgia Sybil)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I think I found my favourite version of the Borgia saga. I love this take on Giulia Farnese, but at the same time, canon is already giving me all I want from her relationship with Rodrigo, so my ideal Yuletide story in this fandom would be one focused on Alessandro instead. We know he adores his sister and that they’ve been not just siblings but allies in hardship before their circumstances changed so much through Giulia’s relationship with Rodrigo. But what does he truly think about getting that whirlwind promotion because of the Giulia/Rodrigo affair, about his almost-Borgia in-laws, about their temporary breakup in book 3? Also: Alessandro is future Pope Paul III. Is it too early for him to wonder just how high he could rise in the setting of the books? Is he learning from interacting with Rodrigo? (Both the what to do and the what not to do?) Also welcome: Alessandro interacting with Dionisio Treschi. He was understandably exaspareted in the first novel, but in the second and third one, Dionisio has been proving himself as an ally, and we know Alessandro is into friends with benefits relationships at this point of his life, so….?

Sieben Jahre - Tanja Kinkel

My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I’ve only just read this novel, and I love it already. The relationship between Friedrich and Heinrich is absolutely fascinating, so very fucked up and intense, and anything focused on that will make me immensely happy. Possible prompts: am I deluded or does that post-Rossbach visit have a certain subtext? If you think it does, make it text, please? If you don’t want to go there: Marwitz pov on his relationship with those brothers and theirs with each other, please! Sure, we hear him make some comments, but that’s to Heinrich or in his earshot, I want to know what he truly thinks, and if that changes between the flashbacks and the present day plot of the novel?
I’m also intrigued by what’s going on between Amalie and Luise. In fact, there should have been more Luise, full stop. Luckily, there is fanfiction. So: what does Luise make of all the Hohenzollern crazy, why is it she copes with being a neglected wife much better than either her sister or Melusine - or does she? She seems so serene when we meet her, but then she’s been married for ages, so had ample time to cope. And observe. So her falling for Amalie after knowing very well Amalie is as messed up as her other-in-laws: tell me about this from her pov? Also: big missing scene when Luise finds out about the Will. That must have been such a shock - and yes, it doesn’t happen, but she can’t know that, and in fact, we see during Heinrich’s visit she’s determined to make it not happen. More of that?
You don’t have to put all characters into your story, just of those I requested the ones that work best for you.

I’ve used the additional tag ‘My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags’ but I’m happy for one character to not be on screen as long as they are being thought about by the other.
I absolutely love Allin and Temar together whether it's in the days of them being friends, the time where the truth slowly dawns on either one of them, during the final book or after their wedding. I think my favourite books are Warrior's Bond and Assassin's Edge because of these two. I love the way their relationship evolves throughout them, and seeing their thoughts during any of these points would be great. Or after the books - the other Seiurs won't react brilliantly, plus they'll have the challenges of getting the settlements up and running properly. I can just imagine all the interrupted moments or knowing looks they get from the other settlers. I adore how everyone accepts and gets a little protective over Allin, and how she has to help with anything in anyway she can - it would be interesting to see how Temar copes with several scary people threatening to hurt him if he hurts Allin or him worrying about her as when she's off helping and vice versa when Temar is fighting (either politically or against a physical threat to the colony) for his people.
There’s a moment in one of the later trilogies where Allin appears at the end to help defend the wizard's isle and she is far more confident (but still Allin). I think that's the perfect example of her going off somewhere to help and Temar having to worry, but I also like the way it shows she's grown into herself and is flourishing as Maitresse and as a teacher. It can't have been easy for either of them to get used to their new roles as well as a relationship (at whatever point in time) and that would be great to see, as well as the end result. I do ship the pair of them rather enthusiastically, but I love seeing them as friends as well so whatever you prefer I'm happy with. If you feel like writing smut, I'd be happy with that as well. Feel free to have cameos or appearances from anyone in the series (or any of the wizards from the Hadrumal Crisis trilogy if you know it)

Psy-Changeling - Nalini Singh
Characters: Memory Aven-Rose, Yuri (Psy-Changeling), Nerida (Psy-Changeling)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

I really love the snippets of Memory and Yuri’s friendship we see in Wolf Rain, especially the new t-shirt and asking advice about Nerida, and the pair of them getting used to people and family again, and I’d love to see more moments as well as the friendship expanding to include Nerida. I’ve used the additional tag ‘My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form’ because I’m happy if only two out of the three characters are actually in the fic as you can see by some of my ideas.
Some possible ideas: After Yuri’s recovery, Memory making friends with him again (and giving him another t-shirt) and reminding him about Nerida, or Memory helping Nerida with the relearning and asking him out again or learning more about her or Nerida decides to adjust the fitness programme Yuri developed for Memory to give Nerida something to do. Nerida changed her hair in Alpha Night after a visit with Ivy Jane, but did Memory help her decide? Did Memory help Yuri find words of appreciation or be fond and proud that he managed himself? Did Memory end up helping them both with more fashion choices, show them the joys of catalogues or value their honest opinions on her own choices? Yuri is back on empathic compound duty after his recovery, does Memory keep popping down more often/linger after sessions so she can fuss over him/introduce him to Beast/find out about his dates with Nerida? Or does Memory keep him company while Nerida has her medical procedure mentioned in Alpha Night or help him work through realising how worried Nerida must have been when he was injured? Or at some point in the future if Yuri and Nerida decide to live together, do they invite Memory (and Alexei) to a meal in their new cabin and how pleased is Memory for her friends? Or do Yuri and/or Nerida ask for advice about getting some cats in the valley (even if just supposedly for the children)?
Feel free to include any other Arrow (including the children)/Empaths/compound security. I’m happy for the PsyNet situation to be mentioned or referenced though I’d prefer if it wasn’t the focus of the fic. If delving into Arrow backgrounds, please stick with canon levels of description of the unpleasantries. I’m up to date with the series so don’t worry about spoiling anything.

Guild Hunter - Nalini Singh
Characters: Titus (Guild Hunter), Sharine (Guild Hunter)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I’ve used the additional tag ‘My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags’ but I’m happy for one character to not be on screen as long as they are being thought about by the other.
I 100 percent ship them, but this doesn’t have to be a ship fic, it could just be the two of them being badass together or snarky and grumpy at each other or dealing with something together, especially after Sharine is in charge of Lumia and 'wakes up'.
Some possible ideas: meeting Titus’ family for a full family dinner after the General wakes up, Caliene giving Titus the protective best friend treatment, or Titus sitting for a private portrait and with conversations or just basking in Sharine and watching her work, or Sharine getting some sisterly teasing (and enjoying the sense of belonging) and Titus laughing at her now that she knows what it feels like, or Titus taking great delight in Sharine practising with her angelic fire. Or stolen moments when they leave their courts and duties just to be them.
I love Archangel’s Sun. I love the way Titus and Sharine work together, the slow unfolding of learning beyond the surface of each other, the way they can be vulnerable with each other, the way they work at being partners and talk about things. I love the way Titus is bold and loud and wears his heart on his sleeve. I love the way Sharine is rediscovering herself, and determined and throwing herself into life again, and sometimes sharp and snarky. I love the way Titus' court loves them, and I love the way they love each other but still love their people and their duties more.
Feel free to include Illium, Aodhen, any of Titus’ family, Caliene, any of Titus’ court or any of the people under Sharine at Lumia. And if you want to cover Sharine and Titus’ reactions to some of the events with Illium and Aodhen, I’d be happy with that too. And I’d never say no to Aegeon being ignored /brought down a peg (for example the first Cadre event Titus is seen wearing the amber hummingbird). Also, I’m up to date with the series so don’t worry about spoiling anything in the later books.

The Grey Gates Series - Vanessa Nelson
Characters: Max (Grey Gates), Bryce (Grey Gates)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I’ve used the additional tag ‘My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags’ but I’m happy for one character to not be on screen as long as they are being thought about by the other.
I’d really love something set after the end of the series with the two of them. Possibly something with Max learning to feel more comfortable with those who know who she is? Or Bryce dealing with being a person outwith the order especially after the ending of the last book? Or the two of them tentatively building a romantic relationship in between all their responsibilities (or snatching time together between different shifts or situations)? Or they finally get a chance to explore the wider world without being in a perilous situation (worldbuilding completely optional, you could focus on their feelings/wonder at the newness, or have them visit the vaults under better circumstances)?
I do ship them, and I’d prefer they were in a romantic relationship, but something that is canon level of detail of their relationship/interactions and navigating some of the same situations above while becoming better friends would be good if you would prefer to write that.
Things I love from the books: the way Max and Bryce work well together as a team, their competence at their jobs, the found family aspect of both the Marshall’s and Byrce’s team, the cook out scene with the families.
Feel free to include the rest of Bryce’s team, Pol and Castor, any of the Marshall’s, Malik, Audhilde, Lord Kolbyr.

In the interest of accountability: yes, I have worked on Eldest's quilt. Previously I was at the point of needing some more blanks drawn (done), and then 20 blocks needed sewing and then assembling. The goal was to do 2 per weekend and then assemble over a few weeks.

However! After two weekends, I have 5 blocks sewn, and one nearly done, being thus a block (and a half) ahead). I have also assembled the first four into a two by two block thus having got ahead on the assembling. Thus, I am feeling tentatively confident about minimum goal: finish top by the end of the year.

I've also attempted to progress Youngest's. Sadly, while I know I had an image that they wanted to have converted, I have not found where I filed it. That is not a this week problem though. I have only progressed Middlest's by dint of sending them another reminder that they need to actually decide on a pattern.

Other than that my craft has near stalled. I have started back on the playing the Hanon's, but only a few pieces every few days, and only the first set of 20, on loop. It does help my hands when I do, but also, I'm struggling to find the motivation.

Reading wise, I have simplified my life down to seven currently reading, mostly because Storygraph added the 'pause' option, which adequately reflects how I feel about a lot of books. One of my thoughts about the last week of the year is to set myself a goal of finishing or abandoning one book per day. Which won't be that hard, as there are several I had put somewhere sensible I found today which are all past half read. In terms of reading goals, the number of works is past the goal, because I started tracking online short fiction (if it were already there) which I kind of wish I could separate out. I'm not anywhere near the number of pages goal, but I also haven't been tracking where I'm up to, so it might be that when I sit down and capture where I'm up to I'll be much further. Whether I get there or not isn't an issue -- I've been doing a lot of academic reading and really haven't had the time/energy for fun reading.

I had another thought when I started the last paragraph, that was more than just the 'where are the two reading goals' but eh, I've forgotten (possibly: tidy the library. or do the next pass through of the library check, given that Librarything has a better way of doing it than I've previously found).

I know it is no longer news in the ravenous cycle of horrors that passes for the front page these days, but the fact that the man in the White House took a literal wrecking ball to it feels once again so unnecessarily on the nose, at least if it were satire I could be laughing. I know buildings are not human lives such as this administration ends and ruins with such pleasure of ownership, but the roses of the concrete-choked garden were real things, not just symbols, and so were the bricks and the tiles of the East Wing. I have nothing revelatory to say about this particular destruction in the midst of so much more personal violence except that I didn't want to let it slide into a tacit shrug, as if it were an ordinary exercise of presidential powers, another rock through the Overton window. Or a bulldozer.

#31: Read a book that is longer than the previous book.

In the absence of an obvious candidate, I decided this was my opportunity to finally get around to Harley Quinn: Redemption by Rachael Allen, which I've been meaning to read since I finished the previous book of the series last year. Then it took a couple of weeks for the library's copy to come in (during which I read other things, but nothing that fit the prompt), and then another week or so for me to properly get into it -- not because it's not good, but because one of the things it's good at is the sense of dread that pervades the first half, which had me reading a chapter or two and then getting stressed and putting it down again. Once the shoe had dropped and the plot really got going, I finished it in a day.

This was the third and final part of a trilogy, which I read at least partly because I was curious about how Allen was going to manage writing an inspirational young adult trilogy featuring a character whose standard origin story ends with her falling into a murderous cult and becoming a homicidal supervillain. That -- obviously, in retrospect -- doesn't happen in this version, where Harley gets a lucky break that leads to her having a significantly better emotional support network than in the standard version, so she has some wobbles but never loses herself and the darkest she gets is 'vigilante with somewhat questionable methods'. The first two books take an interesting stance that could be summed up as "Harley's standard origin story is what people think they know", so you get to see events that become rumours that resemble the standard origin story, but also see how the rumours are often missing or misrepresenting key details and in some cases are just plain wrong.

The third book has two things to achieve: first, to tell an exciting story about Harley and her allies investigating a series of kidnappings that the police don't seem interested in, which it does effectively, and second, to thread the needle of paying off the story's themes and plot threads while bringing the story to an end suitable for a young adult audience, which I'm not convinced it achieves. The author palms a few cards in order to bring the story to a tidy conclusion, which I found a bit too tidy; it gives up all pretence that this version of Harley is ever going to be a villain, even just in the minds of the public, and lets her settle down and enjoy the rest of her life without any lingering traces of the bad reputation that was gathering around her in the earlier chapters. It feels kind of like it's saying that all Harley's adventures are now over, which feels particularly odd since this version of Harley is still barely out of her teens. I would have appreciated a few loose ends, some indication that although Harley has resolved the main issues she still has adventures ahead of her.

Overall, I did enjoy the trilogy and I'm glad I read it.
