In order to get back into the swing of things--mostly prompted by the fact that I am slamming head-first into a fandom that has long since gone dormant (which is ironic because the show I'm talking about is Stargate: Atlantis, which is all about resuscitating a long-dormant city)--I am doing holiday prompt!drabbles again. I can't promise how many or how fast I go, as always, but I'm looking forward to it.

So. Leave a prompt in your comment (or leave more?) and I'll write you a drabble fic.

I know I always forget who belongs to which fandoms, so here's a brief list of fandoms to choose from....a couple of them are new:

Discworld, Iron Man, X-Men, Star Trek (any iteration), Farscape, Stargate Atlantis, The West Wing, Sports Night, Hawaii Five-0, Slings & Arrows, Once Upon A Time, Pan Am, Firefly, Sherlock Holmes (any denomination), M*A*S*H*, Doctor Who, Newsradio, Glee, Flight of the Conchords, Supernatural, Merlin, Life on Mars (UK ONLY), Castle, Fringe, Burn Notice, Psych, Lie to Me, Black Books, The IT Crowd, The Office (either UK or American), 30 Rock, Boy Meets World, Dollhouse, Buffy, Project Runway, So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef, The Daily Show, White Collar, Hustle, The Big Bang Theory, Being Human, Torchwood, Gavin and Stacey, X-Files, The Thick of It, How I Met Your Mother, The West Wing, Poirot, Miss Marple, Xena, SO MANY MORE BUT I CAN'T THINK OF THEM ALL RIGHT NOW.

If you want to prompt something holiday-themed in one of the fics I've already written, feel free. I also LOVE AUs, so feel free to prompt those too.

Title: Old Acquaintance
Author: ifeelbetter
Disclaimer: I own nothing of value.
Summary: Hawkeye thinks back on BJ and Korea and finds the memories not nearly as painful as they once were.
Notes: Tiny thing of concern: I remember something in Coleridge's journal about a lemonade recipe that required fricking barrels of rum but I have no memory of where it was or any other details. I am not going to go research this because that would be (a) weird and (b) faaaar too much like work. But trust me: STC loved him some rum.
All screamlet asked of me was that BJ not have his scary pornstache. And...it's screamlet, y'all. I feel compelled, on behalf of the internets and joy, to come through for her. And she immortalized my city, guys. The least I can do is pretend BJ was never incepted* to grow a mustache.

* OBVS, no one would come up with that idea naturally. I think this, right here, was the idea-bug Cobb was thinking of when he phrased the mind-biz in such creeptastic terms to Ariadne. He was thinking of your 'stache, BJ. Yeah, I'm looking at you.

( Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never thought upon )

Title: Plenty Implied
Author: ifeelbetter
Disclaimer: I own nothing of value. And these are all scurrilous lies for which I can only blame Alex O'Loughlin's face. And Scott Caan's hair. But the important bit is to remember not to blame me.
Summary: Alex has a new puppy just in time for the holidays.
Notes: Apparently, Alex has a new puppy. This dog is probably the most adorable dog that has ever lived. And he sent her to a spa and named her after his grandfather.

( If you saw those puppy pictures, you'd know why I ended up writing this. And trust me when I say that the only thing cuter than O'Loughlin's new dog is Scott Caan and his dog. )

Title: What Christmas Means To Me
Author: ifeelbetter
Disclaimer: I own nothing of value. Not even cookies.
Summary: When it turns out Eames isn’t one for holiday cheer, Arthur starts putting to jolly back into the holidays—via cookies. And research.
Notes: For ladygrendel for this prompt: Eames/Arthur story where Eames is the one who has a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit, but at least Arthur is there to help him. (PS – “Pecan puffs” is what we call them in my family. The internet tells me they’re called Mexican Wedding Cakes but, whoa, let’s not go there.)

( What is this--candied death? )

Title: Falling In and Out (of Holiday Cheer)
Author: ifeelbetter
Disclaimer: I own nothing of value.
Notes: Sort of on-topic for jenna_marianne? But so also very not. We're back in my Eames-is-mostly-Gene-Kelly and Arthur-is-at-least-two-thirds-Cosmo-probably AU. And now it's Christmas.

( Next year all out troubles will be miles away... )

Title: Under the Mistletoe
Author: ifeelbetter
Disclaimer: I own nothing of value.
Notes: I spent last night--the wee hours of the morning, really--barfing christmas joy all over my house. Now it is time to start spreading my irrepresible holiday joy all over the internet as well! These prompts are going to be short--I'm squeezing the time out of a jam-packed schedule. You could still prompt me if you feel the urge. I'm gonna have to do some creative scrambling once I run out of prompts...in eight days.

( Prompt: Sherlock 2010, mistletoe )

And that's Prompt #1! If you liked that, head over to holiday_heist for Advent Calender style Inception goodies. Mine should pop up...later. I have forgotten my day.
