Getting ready for Yuletide?

cinaedI am busy pondering what fandoms I am going to request.
Right now I am thinking:
The Young Heroes series by Jane Yolen and Robert J. Harris (book)
It's a YA series about Greek heroes as teenagers! What's not to love? The first book Odysseus in the Serpent Maze is how Odysseus and Penelope meet, who are my Greek mythology OTP anyway, so awesome. The next one is Hippolyta and the Curse of the Amazons in which teenage!Hippolyta, future queen of the Amazons, gets to have awesome adventures and visit Troy and whatnot. The third one is Atalanta and the Arcadian Beast which is about Atalanta, the princess from mythology who challenged her suitors to a race and would only marry the man who defeated her.
And then there's one about Jason, but he's my LEAST FAVORITE DUDE (aside from Theseus) in Greek mythology, so...no.
But I was thinking of either requesting Medea as a teenager or Telemachus as he goes adventuring before Odysseus comes home.
A Chorus Line (musical)
My mother and I went to see A Chorus Line the other day and it was SO GOOD. We'd seen it on Broadway before, but the actors were outstanding. I have so many characters I want to see fic about, from Paul to Larry (Zach's assistant) to Cassie's time in Hollywood.
Some Like It Hot (movie)
I plan on rewatching the movie soon, in memory of Tony Curtis, and-- look, this movie is my second favorite movie ever. And you could do so much post-movie or even pre-movie stuff with it! The entire cast is delightful.
Baccano! (anime)
Baccano, which is all up on Hulu, is an anime apparently made for me. Look, it's set during Prohibition and features immortals and crazy thieves and psychopaths in love! It's delightful and although I wince a bit at the gory bits, I have also rewatched the whole thing twice, so...apparently I love it? It's only sixteen 20-minute episodes, which probably helps.

So how about you? What are you pondering for Yuletide?
