Thanks very much for participating in this exchange and writing for me! Particularly relevant to Yuletide: I don't want any Christmas/Christianity-themed fic, regardless of the characters' canonical religions. If you want further details on my fic preferences, you can check out my general fic kinks and squicks post or browse my fic exchanges tag. Have fun, and I'm sure I'll love whatever you end up creating!

The Angel of the Crows
Dr. J. H. Doyle, Mary Morstan
Post-canon fic, please. I spent the second half of the book eagerly anticipating the resolution of Dr. Doyle's and Mary Morstan's relationship arc, only to be disappointed by how thoroughly that plotline was dropped.
Romance in which the two of them resolve any lingering misunderstandings and hurt feelings and get married would be incredible. But a bittersweet story in which they achieve some other form of resolution (including a strong friendship perhaps?) would also be welcome. I'm especially interested in Mary learning about what happened to Doyle in Afghanistan, and how that information affects their relationship.
Green Men series - K. J. Charles
Hugh "Barney" Barnaby, Max Isaacs
Slash, please. I'm a huuuge fan of tentacles. If you are, too, then I'd really love something focused on the (noncon? medically and ethically dubious?) process of giving Barney and Max tentacles in the first place, or how they feel about having tentacles/not being standard humans any longer, or how they use their tentacles in their work as Green Men, or just some nice tentacle porn.
Things I love other than tentacles: loyalty kink, WWI historical details, worldbuilding involving the magical AU aspects of WWI, characters struggling to remain human when they fear they're turning into monsters.
Incidentally, I headcanon Max as Jewish. You don't have to use that if you don't want, but I'd prefer that you not explicitly identify him as Christian.
Iskryne series - Elizabeth Bear & Sarah Monette
Grimolfr, Hrolleif
Grimolfr and Hrolleif are the ultimate power couple, and I'd love to see more about their leadership of Franangford before Isolfr joins them: the day-to-day details of running a wolfheall, Franangford's relationship with neighboring towns and settlements and/or with other wolfhealls, troll fighting in the days when it's not an all-out war but just a dangerous and unceasing grind.
Alternatively, I'm very interested in the friends-to-lovers progression of their relationship, particularly Hrolleif's later assurance to Isolfr that a relationship didn't have to begin perfectly, because wolfcarls can be taught.
The Lie Tree - Frances Hardinge
Leda Hunter, Jane Vellet
I'm very fond of both women and their upstairs-downstairs romance, and I'd be interested in seeing that at any stage of the relationship: How did they initially become interested in each other, and how did their courtship progress? What do they do during their secret rendezvous? Do they ever move beyond those rendezvous to build a life together?
I'm also intrigued by Miss Hunter's comment that "a woman like [her] makes enemies." Both she and Mrs. Vellet responded with extraordinary calmness and competence when the Sunderlys were in danger. What personal experiences were they drawing on then? Have either or both of them encountered their own supernatural horrors, or have all their bad experiences been strictly mundane?
Sun Moon Dust - Ursula Vernon
Allpa, Moon
I'd love post-canon fic for this fandom. Allpa's and Moon's developing romance would of course be wonderful, but even more than that I'm interested in Moon relearning how to be human. And not just any human, but an insignificant (though very useful :-) ) farmer, rather than the immortal warrior he'd been for centuries.
Specific things I'm interested in: How Moon feels about the loss of his unusually intimate companionship with Sun and Dust. Moon's experiences developing new close relationships with Allpa and their neighbors. How the blue stone functions now that it's been removed from the sword--is Moon still tied to it somehow, or is its significance purely sentimental? Could he use it to return to the sword or was his leaving an irrevocable decision? Was Moon's name always Moon (unlikely but possible)? How did he come to be an immortal warrior?
Or just more of Allpa and Moon learning about each other and tending plants and caring for their goats and maybe obtaining that hoped-for llama in the future would be lovely.
