Dear Yuletide Writer!

cinaed Hello, Yuletide Writer!
First off, relax, and thank you for participating! I hope my requests make you smile rather than tear your hair out, ha.
As for my likes and dislikes.... I like gen, het, slash, femslash, threesomes, so, uh, pretty much anything goes. I really enjoy watching relationships develop in a story or just seeing how characters interact. I also love banter when the characters are prone to it, people being devoted to each other despite differences, and just characters in general. I'm not really into explicit sex scenes, but feel free to write one if you really, really want to. My only squicks are non-con/dub-con, infidelity/adultery, and death fics, which, uh, I don't think anyone would be writing with my prompts, so you're safe, ha. Anyway, here's a bit more about each request!
Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant
(Delilah Dirk, Erdemoglu Selim)
I love Delilah and Selim's dynamic! I would love another adventure, or maybe even a story where Delilah takes him to meet her mother and hilarity ensues. I just really love Delilah's awesomeness and Selim's reluctant enjoyment of the danger they're constantly in. I would be happy for fic where they are platonic life partners or fic where they are together, whatever you're comfortable with!
Pretty much what it says on the tin-- I really enjoy how different Delilah and Selim are, but how well they work together, Selim's long-suffering yet slowly dawning enjoyment of the adventures he and Delilah find themselves in. Also, Delilah's mother seems like an awesome character, so I'd love to see her meeting Selim.
Boy Meets World
(Eric Matthews, Jack Hunter)
This is the childhood OTP of my heart, in case you couldn't guess, and I would really be happy with anything, whether it's friendship fic, domestic fluff, a galactic adventure, or a first-time fic. And I also love the rest of the crew of Ferkel, so again, feel free to include everyone else as well!
Once again, thank you so much for participating!

Boy Meets World
(Eric Matthews, Jack Hunter)
I love Eric/Jack as a pairing-- I love how they complement each other, with Jack keeping Eric from going overboard and Eric bringing out Jack's better nature. I would love anything for this pairing, whether it's set during their time at Pennbrooke or post-finale when Jack and Rachel have gotten back from their stint in the Peace Corps and visit or move to New York City. I also love Rachel, so PLEASE no Rachel bashing! I think she is funny and awesome, and I love her friendships with Jack and Eric.
In case you haven't guessed, I really love how characters support and change each other, for better or worse. In Eric and Jack's case, I definitely think it's for the better, for the most part-- they certainly egg each other on in over the top stunts, but they also bring out good qualities in each other as well. I would love to see anything about them, and I also love everyone else in the cast, so feel free to include any other characters as well!
Sword Song - Rosemary Sutcliff
(Muirgoed, Aud)
I would love something at any point in Muirgoed and Aud's relationship. I am fascinated by how Muirgoed and Aud became friends despite Muirgoed being dethroned and enslaved, and how Muirgoed's past has become an in-joke between them. I would also love about their adventures together with Erp post-canon off in Iceland! I definitely would love fic with them together, but if you are more comfortable with them as close friends, I am equally happy about awesome ladies being friends!
Muirgoed and Aud are so intriguing. We get all these hints about their shared history and then they go off to have Icelandic adventures together! I will be honest, I would read an entire novel about their adventures (not that I am suggesting you do so, dear writer, but I keep sighing longingly about the alternate universe where Sutcliff wrote a sequel about the Icelandic adventures). I also love Erp a lot, so I wouldn't say no to some Muirgoed and Erp's interaction!
Blood Feud
(Jestyn Englishman, Anders Herulfson, Alexia)
I love all three characters, and would love anything about them, especially fix-it fic where everyone lives, although if you want to stick to canon I would be really interested in Alexia observing Jestyn and Anders and hearing her thoughts on their relationship. I would also really love Jestyn/Alexia and Jestyn/Anders poly fic and seeing how Anders fits into the household.
If you are not a fan of fix-it, I understand, but if you ARE, well, I would really love fix-it for this. I love how much Jestyn changes over the course of the novel, and how much potential he and Anders had together, and how perfectly Jestyn and Alexia fit together. I would love threesome or just Jestyn/Alexia and Jestyn and Anders friendship where Anders also decides what he wants for himself.
Some Like It Hot
Daphne and Osgood's relationship is so perfect. I would love something post-canon, where Jerry learns more about himself and he's comfortable and feels right as both Jerry and Daphne, and Osgood being supportive. Maybe something about Osgood becoming interested in Jerry as well as Daphne?
Again, what it says on the tin! I would love a fic about Jerry's gender-fluidness and how that works in a relationship, and Osgood becoming sincerely attached to both Jerry and Daphne. I also really love Sugar and Joe, so feel free to have them cameo if you like!
Rod Albright Alien Adventures - Bruce Coville
I would be happy with pretty much anything about this series, but here are a few ideas if you need some! I love Snout/Grakker as a pairing, how Grakker is only nice to Snout and how Snout obviously cares for Grakker as well. I'd love to see how they become friends and then lovers (come on, they were bonded and lived in the same room, they were so together). If you're not into the pairing, I'd also love something about the first adventures of the good ship Ferkel, as Grakker, Snout, and the crew get to know each other.
