yuletide | ...and a Partridge in a Pear Tree

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:
• Babylon Berlin (TV) - Gereon Rath. To be honest, I like the books a lot more, so if you feel like you want to examine the strings that tie the series back to the series, this is your chance, I'll be the audience.
• Bartimaeus - Jonathan Stroud - Nathaniel & Bartimaeus. Something centering about their friendship or maybe just Bartimaeus, it would be interesting to see how he deals with the present day.
• Dark (TV 2017) - Any missing scenes greatly appreciated, especially with Jonas or Martha (or her siblings or Ulrich, but they aren't nominated)
• Das Glasperlenspiel | The Glass Bead Game - Hermann Hesse - I remember I found it very hard to read, but I loved the worldbuilding, so, more of that, please? :D
• Die Gänsemagd | The Goose Girl (Fairy Tale) - My favourite fairytale. I like Falada and the princess the most, but as long as you don't make them or the prince evil, anything goes. I'm also open to the other Grimm's Tales.
• Kassandra - Christa Wolf - This book absolutely shattered me. I don't even remember clearly why, but it truly is one of those "axes for the frozen sea"-books. Personally, I would find it very hard to write for it, though, without it turning into fic for Ancient Greek Mythology or Homer. Anything that makes the relatedness to the time of its writing and the present day more explicit would be wonderful.
• Krabat | The Satanic Mill - Otfried Preußler - Anything. I feel this canon leaves a lot of room to explore very disturbing paths.
• My Sister the Serial Killer - Oyinkan Braithwaite - I have not read it yet, but it's the next on my list and my friends are very hyped, so I'm sure I'll check out any fic.
• Tintenwelt-Trilogie | Inkheart Trilogy - Cornelia Funke - Mo/Resa or Dustfinger h/c.

Additional Details:
I'm a simple person: if it's canon compliant and gen (or canon pairings), I'll love it for sure. But I don't post this with any expectations, I'll read basically everything in these fandoms.
Do you opt-into any of the other mini-challenges for these fandoms? MultLingYule, Wrappingpaper for all of them, Crueltide for the Satanic Mill and any Fairy Tales.
Is it okay for your treat author to contact you with questions, or are you open to anything no-questions-asked? Yes, I'm on the Discord server.
