Requested Fandoms


Life (US TV 2007)

Requested Characters:
Any

Fandom-specific likes:
- character studies (especially of Charlie and Dani)
- Charlie/Dani
- a focus on Charlie's case-solving techniques
- humour
- the sort of "culture clash" type stuff we see with Charlie and everybody else after he's released, and the opposite, where he fits in or relates well with people who shouldn't have much in common with him 

Prompts/Ideas:
- Charlie and Dani bonding, either during or after series canon
- case fic set during the show
- Charlie and Ted meeting in prison


Mary Russell - Laurie R. King

Requested Characters:
- Alistair Hughenfort
- Marsh Hughenfort
- Mary Russell
- Sherlock Holmes (Mary Russell - Laurie R. King)

Fandom-specific likes:
- Ali/Mahmoud (Alister/Marsh)
- Mary/Sherlock 
- stories that fill in any gaps or things we don't know about canon
- case fic, cases set in interesting places
- Mary and Sherlock working together on something, a character or characters going undercover during a case

Prompts/Ideas:

- Ali and Mary bonding over needing to work on something together or having to rescue Sherlock and Mahmoud
- A look at how Mahmoud and Ali ended up with their life in Palestine that we see in O Jerusalem 
- pre-marriage Mary and Sherlock undercover as a couple 
- post-marriage Mary and Sherlock undercover as a couple, but pretending to be very different than who they really are
- what happens with Mahmoud and Ali post-Garment of Shadows?


Life on Mars (Korea TV)

Requested Characters:
Any

Fandom-specific likes:
- a focus on the time travel weirdness and culture clash
- case fic
- the differences in past and modern policing
- character studies
- Kang Dong Cheol/Han Tae Joo

Prompts/Ideas:
- Kang Dong Cheol and Han Tae Joo bonding despite their differences
- Vignettes of Han Tae Joo struggling with (or adjusting to being in) the past


This Time with Alan Partridge 

Requested Characters:
- Alan Partridge 
- Jennie Gresham 
- Martin Brennan 
- Simon Denton 

Fandom-specific likes: Alan is such an idiot and an asshole but also hilarious, I love to see him lose. Feel free to lean into that! Make it shippy or not, just have fun with the characters!

Prompts/Ideas:
- any further expansion or elaboration on the Martin Brennan appearance in season 1, episode 4
- Simon and/or Jennie's POV of that episode
- any more background or lore for Martin


Wiseguy

Requested Characters:
- Sonny Steelegrave
- Vinnie Terranova

Fandom-specific likes: 
- Sonny/Vinnie 
- Vinnie and Sonny genuinely bonding despite Vinnie's best efforts
- references or flashbacks to Vinnie's time in prison
- people from Vinnie's past/non-undercover life reacting to him being (as far as they know) a gangster

Prompts/Ideas:

- Anything sort of slice of life-ish with Sonny and Vinnie during season one
- Fix-it where Sonny doesn't die. Any way you want to do it is fine, but I particularly like Vinnie confessing the truth to him at some point before it's too late

- Character study of Vinnie and his mindset before and/or during the first season


Lord Peter Mysteries

Requested Characters:
Peter Wimsey 

Fandom-specific likes: 
- Anything to do with a case and Peter solving it
- Love all the characters, include anyone you want!
- Peter's relationships with his family and friends
- Peter struggling with his PTSD (feel free to include Harriet struggling with hers as well)

Prompts/Ideas:
- Case fic set early on in his detective career?
- Peter very elderly looking back/talking with grandchildren?
- Anything Peter/Harriet! Maybe some of the interactions that happen "behind the scenes" in canon


Ballard

Requested Characters:
Any

Fandom-specific likes: 
- Renée and Harry's almost father-daughter relationship
- anything case-solving or detection related
- banter and humor
- any of the other characters, feel free to include them too

Prompts/Ideas:
-Renée and Harry working to solve one of his old cases
-Renée being bisexual (or otherwise not straight) and her and Harry talking about it. In the books he very much has a "little confused but he's got the spirit" energy about the queer people he knows/interacts with, and I love it and could see this version of Harry being the same
- Harry and Renée working undercover together?
-The two of them bonding over their shared values or concerns despite their differing policing techniques
-Outsider POV of their relationship
