Holiday(s) Requested: Since these fandoms are a mix of time periods, settings and religions, let me say that any kind of seasonal festivities are warmly and fully welcomed! I do especially love new-year style celebrations, but I'm easy.

Fandom and character(s):
The Terror (book) - John Irving, Silna/Lady Silence
Ghosts (TV) - Kitty, Mary, Alison, Lady Button
The Alienist (TV) - Marcus Isaacson, Mary Palmer

(I also requested A Knight’s Tale (Movie), Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem (Game) and The Outer Worlds (Game) but it's the above three fandoms I'm really keen on. However, I'm not fool enough to look a gift reindeer in the mouth!)


Prompts:
In general, I'd like to see the more optimistic side of holiday stories. Doesn't mean a story can't go dark, but happy or at least bittersweet endings would be fab.

- I love the tradition of Christmas ghost stories, so any kind of spooky, atmospheric seasonal setting would be brilliant, be it a ghost story itself, or characters sitting around telling each other ghost stories.
- Ghosts is ripe for seasonal storytelling! How do these characters from across the time periods celebrate?
- Characters being snowed in together is a classic! And hey, John Irving of The Terror knows all about being snowed in.
- NYE kisses. Yes.
- Mistletoe kisses. Yes.
- Are there other kiss traditions? I don't know. All the kisses!
- Variations on A Christmas Carol are also always fully warmly welcomed.
