Welcome, Wondrous Yule Goat Author of Awesomeness to another Blessed Yuletide!!!!
Follow are a restating (from my sign-up, for the benefit of any Tremendously Terrific Treaters there may be out there) of my DNWs (including fandom-specific ones) and DWWs (Definitely Would Wants a.k.a. Likes) and then… prrrompts!
And some general Goodness:
🌟 I have signed up for / am opting in for extra treats!
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
No Thank Yous or DNWs
🌟 No bashing of any character or species - especially the ones that look less like humans
🌟 Uncalled-out speciesism/racism, sexism, etc..
🌟 Uncalled-out discrimination or other hate on the basis of magickal or psychic ability.
🌟 Animal abuse or death
🌟 Calling animals ‘it’. Calling nonhumans 'it' unless they do so themselves as a specific designation.
🌟 Crack not treated seriously.
🌟 A/B/O | PWP | dubcon/noncon
🌟 Hurt without Comfort
🌟 Angst without a Happy Ending
🌟 Hopeless or Unhappy Endings (for this moment, prefer no bittersweet, tho’ that’s negotiable)
🌟 Bullying | Embarrassment | Humiliation

Prrrompts!!!!
Here are prrrompts for the various Requests for this year.
🐦 Fiber Arts (Anthropomorphic) - Crocheting, Knitting, Spinning, Weaving
I crochet and do a bit of beginner’s weaving on a simple loom. I admire those who knit and have not yet managed it myself. Spinning is something I look forward to learning to do someday.
I can only imagine the hijinks between the various arts!
Share with me a tale of that, if you are called to do so. Share the found-family of them all – the things they have in common and the things they do not.
Is there competition for yarn? A discussion of what yarn (and humans!) they all prefer? A discussion about the various kinds of humans who yarn?
If you feel like adding some Winter Hollyday Goodness into the mix, have at it! Not required, but appreciated if it calls to you.
💙 🦄 💙
🐦 Quantum Leap (TV 1989) - Admiral Al Calavicci
Fandom-specific DNW: romantic slash between Admiral Calavicci and Dr Beckett.
I love Admiral Calavicci with a hard-core adore. I admire his ability to survive and eventually thrive with Sam Beckett’s love and care.
I do not necessarily slash the two of them in a romantic sense however and would prefer to have only friendship between them here. Deep, abiding friendship, full of loyalty and feels, yes, please. Romantic feelings, no, not here, if you would.
Also, crossing the streams between the shows a bit in terms of the times involved, if you’d like to play with this a bit (and yes, highly more ODaO because not nominated as such), but what if Admiral Calavicci’s ghost is helping Sam Beckett now that he’s dead? What would that look like?
I love the found family of the group back at Project Quantum Leap and would highly enjoy a story of this. The task of dealing with Ziggy (in all their genders) – keeping them maintained, happy, and on-task, the task of helping the helpers stay here and happy and focused, the burden of isolation and secrecy that loom over them all.
How do they cope? Is it extra-hard at the hollydays? How do they manage the hollydays there?
💙 🦄 💙
🐦 Quantum Leap (TV 2022) - Janis Calavicci, Ian Wright
Fandom-specific DNW: no Evil!Janis. Whatever they end up doing on the show with her, I desire to believe that she’s doing what she’s doing for good reasons crossed with an understandable angry pride.
Again, the Found Family for the win-win-wing!!!! Also again, I often find the lives of those back at Project Quantum Leap more interesting than those of the Leapers, so feel free to concentrate on that aspect of the team.
For here, where does this cross with Dr Beckett? As eh as the network has been here in our world, I prefer to believe that, eventually, they WILL allow Scott Bakula on the show – and at the same time, allow the current cast (purrhaps even Janis???) to bring Sam Beckett home – or at least be told by him in no uncertain terms, no thanks.
How does Janis fit into all of this as Al Calavicci's daughter? Was she given a request by her father to see Sam safe?
Dr Ian Wright fascinates me. Tell me more about them. What is their story? What brought them to Quantum Leap?
I see Dr Wright and Janis Calavicci as opposites dancing around each other - tell me a tale of that, if you see it too and hear the story calling.
Again, how does the team - or part of the team - interact with the Hollydays, Winter and otherwise?
💙 🦄 💙
🐦 The Nanny - Niles, CC Babcock
Fandom-specific DNW: no meanness between Niles and CC. I know they play rough sometimes, in ways that I would not cope well with personally, but let the love underneath always shine through in some way, please.
Oh, these two have snark down to a fine art! Give me some of that – with the love they ALSO clearly have for each other underneath.
What do these two get up to for the Winter Hollydays?
💙 🦄 💙
-
🐦 Batman: Wayne Family Adventures (Webcomic) - Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne, Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain
Again with the found family!!!! (Are you sensing a trend here, dear Author?). They are all so wonderfully competent and brilliant and broken and strong – and fiercely, fiercely loyal to each other, all of which I appreciate.
Give me a story of that please. Winter Hollyday celebrations and hijinks welcome and optional.
In my chosen characters (feel free to add any other nominated characters you feel called to), I love the generations and the leadership - Alfred, Bruce, Barbara and the one who sees the world so beautifully and differently - Cassandra.
Play with that if you desire to - the concepts of leadership and the visions of seeing a world in a different way than most do and what both of those things does to your own view of the world and life within it.
💙 🦄 💙
🐦 Phoebe and Her Unicorn Series - Dana Simpson
Fandom-specific DNW: no mean!Dakota here, please. If she can’t play nicely with Phoebe and Marigold, let her stay at home, if you would.
I love this comic for its sympathetic portrayal of someone who is considered odd, her wonderful parents who are genuinely supportive, and of course, her amazing, non-human friend.
Feel free to add in anyone else from the nominated characters or the series itself - especially other unicorns! - you feel would be an appropriate addition to the story, as long as they agree to play nicely with each other - it is the Season of Peace, after all.
Winter Hollyday hijinks appreciated and not required.
🌟 🌟 🌟
And there you have it! Any questions, concerns, or the like, please feel free to ask the mods to ask me and I will do my best to answer!
Happy Mewsings!!!!
