Season's Treatings mini-challenge

Do you love receiving or writing end of year holiday stories? Are you prompting a snowed in Hanukkah celebration or an Australian New Year's beach party? Season's Treatings may be for you!

This mini-challenge is all about December and January holidays, traditions, and cultural celebrations big and small and all over the globe--and perhaps some fantasy worlds, who knows. If you want to prompt it, someone may want to write it.

When you comment, please include:

AO3 Name:
Letter Link (if applicable):

If you're also interested in receiving holiday art, don't forget to also put your letter over at Wrapping Paper.

When you upload, tag it as Season's Treatings so we can all find them!

Holiday(s) Requested: Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's, Diwali... whatever year-end/beginning festivity works for you!

As mentioned in my letter, and above, I'm always good for holiday good times of just about any sort. But below, I'll give a few possible prompts.

Fandom Dramacon (Manga)
Character(s): Any in tagset (Bethany, Christie Leroux, Greta Huff, Hyu-Jeong, Matt Green, Monica, Raj, Sandra Green)
Prompts: Okay, so, where I'm from, there's a tiny industry-run convention that happens every year in December, and generally manages to be little more than an overcrowded dealer's room and everyone showing up in their slightly-more-Christmassy-than-usual cosplays. If you wanted to do a take on that with the cast, and have them all show up in holiday cosplay and try to buy each other Christmas presents (and/or exchange ones gotten at other times) I would gleefully adore it. Of course, a more full-scale con would also be a lot of fun, but there is something about the absolute trash of a "dealer's room and not much else" convention that I think could make for a fun disaster.

Of course, conventions are not all there is to life. If you'd like to explore, say, Christie spending Christmas with the Greens, that could be a delight.

One thing I'd actually really love is Raj celebrating Diwali. Bonus points if he very self-consciously brings Beth along. Bonus bonus points if the the rest of the Firebird Studio is there too, peanut gallerying.

Fandom ヲタクに恋は難しい | Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii | Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku (Anime & Manga)
Character(s): Any in tagset (Kabakura Tarou, Koyanagi Hanako, Momose Narumi, Nifuji Hirotaka, Nifuji Naoya, Sakuragi Kou)
Prompts: Christmas is a holiday for children and lovers in Japan, and means a lot of limited edition seasonal merch and drops, and I'd love fic focusing on any of those.

Want to show Narumi and Hitotaka trying to negotiate their way through their first Christmas together? Go for it. Want to show everyone bumping into each other at Animate trying to get cool stuff for themselves and/or each other? Go for it. Want show the Nifuji siblings (with possible bonus Narumi) getting ready for Christmas? Go for it! Want to show them fighting over Kouhaku Uta Gassen and getting together to ring the new year in together? Absolutely go for it!

Fandom Fangs (Webcomic)
Character(s): Any in tagset (Jimmy, Elsie)
Prompts: What are their holiday rituals like, and how do they introduce them to each other? Do they try to blend them together in their new relationship at all? I'd love to see any vampire or werewolf-specific holidays, and/or Elsie still keeping some traditions from the late 17th century and Jimmy having his own rather minimalistic view of Christmas or Hanukkah, or whatever else, and how they make their own traditions together.
