Dear Yuletide Writer

[rosanicus]

Hello! This year I am prompting for Biggles, Steeley and Worrals.

General Likes: Presumed Dead, Hurt/Comfort, Identity Porn, Established Relationship, Time Travel/Time Loops, Outsider POV, Curtain Fic, Casefic, Whump

General DNWS: Major Character Death, Terminal Illness, Infidelity, Rape/Non-Con between protagonists, Hate Crime/Violent Homophobia, MPreg, Omegaverse, canon-typical racism

Biggles (James "Biggles" Bigglesworth, Erich von Stalhein, Algy Lacey, Ginger Hebblethwaite)

• Series specific likes: Canon-typical hurt/comfort (e.g. firing squads, imprisoned in a castle, dramatic last stands, scorpion/tarantula related injury etc.), Best Enemies, Enemies to Friends, Fantasy Elements, Canon-typical crossdressing, Snark, Cultural exchange, &Co casual polyamory
• Series specific DNWs: fic based on Takes A Holiday/Flies North/No Rest, fic set during WW2, Biggles/Algy on its own
• In general, I would love any fic which features something from either Likes section in this post! I struggle with coming up with specific prompts because they tend to end up growing legs and walking into my own Google Drive, so feel free to go wild :)
• Speaking of queer gen: I would love to see fic of any permutation of characters interacting with queer nightlife in London during canon. I think Ginger in particular would like drag. Additionally, I would adore AU fic where one or multiple of the main characters are trans and/or GNC.
• The character limit for signups was torturous for me so please feel free to include any other series regulars in your fic!
• A fic set in the Interwar period (even though the dating makes my head hurt a bit...), in that nebulous period where Ginger is in training and Biggles and Algy are essentially co-parenting him. I think that there is a lot of potential for fun hijinks and the struggles of looking after a teenager who is already shockingly self-sufficient.
• This fandom will never have too many post-Hatchet recovery fics. I love stories which explore how everyone learns to live in the same city as each other - whether that's Algy learning to tolerate von Stalhein for Biggles' sake (and eventually liking him, however annoyed it makes him), or Bertie sweeping EvS off to ride horses and generally return him to a golden moment of pre-WW1 simplicity, or Biggles just looking after him in his own inimitable way, I love all of it. And many variations besides!
• Something set between Flies East and & Co which deals with an alternate reunion for &Co and EvS. I've written my own version but it's a concept which begs for exploration IMO.

Steeley (Deeley Montfort "Steeley" Delaroy, Eric "Tubby" Wilde, Virginia Marven, Brian Ballantyne)

• Series specific likes: Tubby POV/first person narration, 
• Series specific DNWs: spoilers for books after Murder by Air (still catching up!), Steeley/Virginia without Tubby
• Stupidly specific sub-prompt here but: Constantino from Murder by Air surviving the plane crash at the end and discovering that crossdressing is something he likes doing full time. Smash cut to several years down the line and Steeley and/or Tubby run into "Helene" in Soho or similar and catch up.
• Anything Steeley/Tubby/Virginia! I love this OT3 and how much fun they get up to in Flies Again, both separately and together, so the total lack of Virginia in Murder by Air made me VERY sad. I would love anything with them, from curtain fic to casefic, and especially competence porn of various sorts for all corners of the triangle.
• I would also love anything Steeley/Tubby from before Virginia came onto the scene, especially during WW1. They seem to have had a really interesting relationship and I simply must know more about it, and about how and why Steeley made such a powerful physical impression on Tubby that he just cannot stop talking about the man's hands.

Worrals (Joan "Worrals" Worralson, Betty "Frecks" Lovell)

• Series specific likes: Worrals/Frecks(/Bill, Worrals does have two hands), Grand Theft Auto (or Aero, or bike...o...), Presumed Dead, Competence in all its forms
• Series specific DNWs: spoilers for books after Worrals on the War-Path, Worrals/Bill without Frecks
• My main desire in Worrals fic is for something along the lines of Worrals Learns To Fly - there's tiny hints of that backstory in WAAF and I yearn for more so desperately. Worrals sneaking out of school to go to flying lessons! Worrals and Frecks' first meeting - I would be interested in anything here, did they instantly fall into friendship or did it take longer for easygoing Frecks to get along with practical Worrals? Did they meet at school or on their first day at the aerodrome? I would love anything set pre-canon here.
• Personally I think Frecks gets a raw deal in the books I've read thus far because she is always the one presuming that Worrals is dead. It's clearly Worrals' turn to have a minor breakdown over her best friend (/girlfriend) being dead and then being comforted when Frecks shows up alive and well.
• Fic which explores the only-one-bed situation described in Worrals Flies Again. It just begs for more I think, whether it's arguing about who hogs the covers or thank-god-you're-alive sex while they have to keep quiet for the microphone...
• If you go for casefic, I'd be intrigued by something where Worrals and Frecks are sent to investigate something mysterious happening in a predominately female environment - maybe there's a murder at a house where land girls are billeted, or even an illicit airfield setup in the grounds of a convent. I just long for them getting to hang out with other women for a bit.
