categranger

This is my first Yuletide, although I wrote a pinch hit in 2014. I’ve never written an exchange letter before (I usually just lurk), so apologies if I get something wrong. In general, anything canon-style will make me quite happy, so if none of my prompts are interesting to you, please write something you enjoy and I’m sure I will too. ♥

My AO3 name is categranger, and the canons I’m requesting are:

Call the Midwife | Jackalope Wives Series - Ursula Vernon | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers
Frederica - Georgette Heyer | The Grand Sophy - Georgette Heyer | Sylvester or the Wicked Uncle - Georgette Heyer

General likes:
- Canon-style tone.
- Worldbuilding.
- Fic set during the ‘happily ever after’. (Heyer books in particular end far too abruptly!)
- Couples being ridiculously in love with each other and all cute and affectionate.
- People looking all over town for the perfect gift for their partner. (Any occasion that would fit the canon is fine.)
- People who were used to being single having to adjust to being married/having someone else in their space all the time. (Both good adjustments and funny/awkward adjustments.)
- Gender headcanons. I don’t mean that the story has to be centered around them, or that I want anvilly issuefic, but I would be interested in a story in which Peter is nonbinary, for instance (perhaps their personal history gives them a clue that helps them solve a case?), or Frederica is a trans woman (perhaps that was one reason why she didn’t intend to marry, but Alverstoke doesn’t turn out to give a fig?), etc. However, for personal reasons please make any sympathetic character in the narrative be accepting.
- Fantasy creatures appearing in non-fantasy canons is always fun! I especially like when the fantasy creatures are not the usual vampires/werewolves/zombies, but more creative types like those in Jackalope Wives.
- Crossovers between any of my requested canons are more than welcome. St George, Peter, and/or Harriet meeting Grandma Harken and solving a mystery with her! Sophy and Frederica meeting and falling in love with each other!
- Honeymoons!

General DNWs:
- Breaking up canon pairings. (Exception: crossovers like the Sophy/Frederica example listed above. In those cases I’d prefer the canon pairing never happened, rather than the crossover pairing being set after either of the canon pairings broke up.)
- As referenced above, sympathetic characters being intolerant of queer characters. In general, I prefer my queer characters to face problems that don’t arise from their queerness.
- Animal abuse or death. (Except for canon-typical things in Jackalope Wives.)
- Child abuse or death (yes, even in murder mysteries. Please have any victim(s) be an adult.)
- I don’t think this will come up with the canons I’ve asked for, but just in case, please no focus on father-daughter relationships.
- Polyamory.
