...and a Partridge in a Pear Tree

[yulebegay]

There are 3623 fandoms nominated in this year's tagset, with 14007 amazing characters. Given that this is a multi-fandom exchange, it doesn't matter if you requested the minimum (3 fandoms) or the maximum (6 fandoms) in your sign-up, there is a high possibility that even 50 slots wouldn't be enough for all the fandoms you know, love, and would enjoy to read fic for. That's where ...and a Partridge in a Pear Tree 🕊 🍐 🌲 comes in!

How does it work?

• Go through the tag set.
  • It's your decision if you include only the fandoms that were narrowly cut from your requests this year or if you list anything and everything you slightly recognize from osmosis.
  • The Taglist Filter makes this easy!
• Comment to this post with the list of fandoms you would enjoy receiving a treat * for so that authors who really were hoping to write for that fandom this year can know someone out there would like to receive it!
  • Only providing fandom names will be considered an "Any" request for whatever characters are nominated in that fandom.
  • If you want to provide an author with generic likes guidance and/or DNWs that you wish to see honored, include a link to your letter/sign-up.
  • If you have specific characters you would like to read about in any given fandom and/or have prompts suggestions, you are encouraged to share that information.
  • If you're listing a fandom you previously requested, you are welcome to link to the letter you requested it in but only if it is for characters nominated in this year's tagset.
• Add participation to the app so that anyone browsing will know that you're signed up for this challenge!
• * Note: Since none of these are official requests and thus cannot be someone's main gift, anything made for this challenge must be posted into the 2021 Madness Collection. If you post it in the main collection there is a strong chance the mods will contact you and/or kick it out!

That's it. Have fun! Hopefully this challenge will result in fics that otherwise couldn't or wouldn't have been written and will see the Madness collection get some extra love this year! :)

Fandom(s) I Know:

• Boy Meets World - Jack Hunter, Eric Matthews
  I ship Jack/Eric, and would love any kind of get-together fic. Setting change AUs, post-canon put pre-Girl Meets World, or fic that focuses on their reunion in GMW or thereafter.
  
• Cabin in the Woods - Worldbuilding
  Any worldbuilding welcome! What were some of the other failed rituals? What about some successful ones? What happens 'after the end'?
  
• Ellie and Abbie (and Ellie's Dead Aunt) (2020) - Abbie, Ellie; optionally Tara
  I just watched this thanks to the promo post! It was so cute and fun. I'd love any Abbie/Ellie fic, with Tara included or not.
  
• Emperor's New Groove - Kronk, Kronk's Shoulder Angel, Kronk's Shoulder Devil
  It'd be fun to see Kronk's shoulder angel and devil pop up for all types of decisions. Whether to take a shower this morning, whether to buy new shoes, whether to take on more Junior Chipmunks, etc.!
  
• Exandria Unlimited - Any (Dariax Zaveon, Dorian Storm, Fearne Calloway, Fy'ra Rai, Opal, Orym)
  I enjoyed this mini-campaign so damn much. Any fic with these characters would be great. I'm open to any ships (except Ted/Opal). And if you watched the Narrative Telephone episode from 10/14 (The Breakup Lettah), I would adore a fic with Deni$e in it! :D
  
• For Real - Alexis Hall - Laurence Dalziel, Toby Finch
  I just re-read this book, and it's just as amazing as I remember. I'd love to see more glimpses of their lives after the book. Casual submission, vanilla sex, Laurie in subspace - just a few ideas! Anything with Laurie/Toby would be amazing.
  
• Free Guy (2021) - Buddy, Dude, Guy, Worldbuilding; OR any subset
  I watched this last night and adored it. I'm down for anything set in the video-game universe, though mentions of the real world are fine too. I find the AI aspects fascinating and would love any take on their world now and where the characters go once the credits fade.
  
• Hawkeye - Fraction - Lucky
  Probably my favorite comic run ever, especially issue #11, the one entirely told from Lucky's perspective. I'd love something like that, where we see the world through Lucky's eye. ;)
  
• Heartstopper - Charles "Charlie" Spring, Nicholas "Nick" Nelson
  These two are so sweet and I'd love any shipfic for them. Past, current, future, far future - any of it is good, as well as any rating.
  
• Hustlers - Destiny, Ramona Vega
  Would love a shipfic for these two after the events of the movie.
  
• In the Heights (2021) - Sonny
  I enjoyed Sonny so much in the movie version! Would love to see glimpses into his future, near or far.
  
• Jungle Cruise - Frank Wolff, MacGregor Houghton
  I definitely got some Frank/MacGregor feels from the movie, and would love to see that explored!
  
• Legendborn - Tracy Deonn - Bree Matthews, Nick Davis, Selwyn Kane
  Just finished this one last week, and I adored the dichotomy of Bree/Nick and Bree/Selwyn. I'd be down for fic of either, or of all three! The Arthurian mythology tied in is fascinating to me, too, so feel free to delve into that if you like!
  
• Lovely Little Losers - Any (Balthazar Jones, Costa McClure, Fred Boyet, Peter "Pedro" Donaldson)
  This web series was my entire life while it was airing. Peter/Balthazar are my forever OTP - any shipfic for them would be wonderful. I also definitely ship the rarepair of Fred Boyet/Costa McClure - if you do too and want to create something for me for them, I would be forever in your debt.
  
• Nimona - Ambrosius Goldenloin, Ballister Blackheart
  Would love to see more of their future together.
  
• One Last Stop - Jane Su, August Landry; OR Wes, Isaiah; OR all 4
  Definitely interested in backstory or futurefic of Wes/Isaiah, and anything Jane/August would be amazing as well.
  
• Radio Free Roscoe - Lily Randall, Ray Brennan
  Nostalgia straight to my heart!! I shipped Ray/Lily like crazy back in the day. Would love to read more about what they might be getting up to after high school.
  
• Raya and the Last Dragon - Namaari, Raya
  Oh, I ship it so hard. They've already covered the enemies to friends bit, so they're halfway to lovers already! ;)
  
• Road to El Dorado - Chel, Miguel, Tulio
  My OT3! Anything is good with these three, honestly.
  
• Sex Criminals - Any (Alix Ambrose, Jon, Suzie, Worldbuilding)
  More of Alix's backstory, or any Jon/Suzie shenanigans would be awesome. And I'm definitely down for some takes on worldbuilding here.
  
• Star Trek: Lower Decks - Beckett Mariner, Brad Boimler, D'Vana Tendi, Sam Rutherford; OR any subset
  The playful mood of this show is so appealing, and I love how it constantly works in references to other Trek canons. Would prefer friendship/gen fic in this fandom.
  
• Stellar Firma - Any
  I am in the process of bingeing this podcast right now (currently on ep 44 with an average rate of 6 eps/day). The wit and ridiculousness of it all is so great! I'd love anything in the spirit of canon.
  
• Superman & Lois - Clark Kent
  Give me those good, good family feels, or some more romance (or spice!) with Clark/Lois.
  
• Superstore - Garrett McNeill, Jonah Simms
  I love the banter between these two. Anything set in or after canon would be great.
  
• The House in the Cerulean Sea - Arthur Parnassus, Linus Baker; feel free to include the kids and/or Zoe as well!
  I adore how Linus slowly comes out of his shell and gradually falls in love with his new life (and with Arthur) throughout the novel. More scenes of Linus/Arthur after the events of the book would be amazing!
  
• This Means War - Franklin "FDR" Foster, Lauren Scott, Tuck Hansen
  Obviously that ending with 'how she chose' is rather ridiculous when the OT3 option is right there, right?
  
• What We Do in the Shadows - Nandor the Relentless, Guillermo de la Cruz
  Anything with Nandor actually admitting (in his own way) about his feelings for Guillermo would be so lovely.
  

Additional Details:
Mini-challenges! I opt in to:
Yuleporn: All fandoms with ships indicated.
Wrapping Paper: All fandoms listed.
Three Turtle Doves: Legendborn - Tracy Deonn (Bree/Nick/Selwyn), The Road to El Dorado (Chel/Miguel/Tulio), This Means War (Lauren/Tuck/FDR)
Yumadrin: All fandoms listed. I love drabbles!
Make the Yuletide Gay: Lots of these fandoms have canonically queer characters, but I especially want to call attention to Alix Ambrose from Sex Criminals. I would really love fic that focuses on her asexuality and her power.

Any treat creators are welcome to contact me through the mods with questions. The same likes and do not wants in my letter apply.
