Happy Chanukah, everyone! This fic is part of my Jewish!Lestrade series, but more or less stands on its own, I think. If you're following along, this story takes place after the last part of Four Times Sherlock and Lestrade Danced Without Touching (and one time they did), "Midnight," and refers to the first part of that story, "Sea Wrack."

This one is for thesmallhobbit and myownprivatesfc.

Title: A Chanukah Story
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~1.3K
Pairing: Sherlock/Lestrade, established relationship
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit

Summary: Sherlock and Lestrade stay in on the first night of Chanukah.

Dear Yuletide Author:

First of all, thank you so much for writing a story for me! Any fic with these characters will make me happy, so please just write what seems fun and interesting to you!

If it’s helpful, here are some things about my general preferences:

( general likes and dislikes )

( Ripper Street )

( The Raven Cycle )

( 20th CE RPF: George Mallory )

( Regeneration (Pat Barker) )

Thank you again, dear author! Please do write something that's fun for you to write, even if it has nothing to do with these optional details!

Oh flist--can you help me? (it's for a fic)

Those things on the roof that channel off water but tend to get clogged with leaves? In the US we call them gutters--is it the same in England?

And: a man and a woman who aren't married but live together in an established relationship? In the US the legalish term is "domestic partners"--is it the same in the UK?

thank you thank you thank you

Posting my intoabar fic before I take off for a week. The prompt was "James Hathaway walks into a bar and meets...the Pirate Captain."

Thanks to everyone for the help and encouragement with this! And apologies for the cheapness of some of the shots.

Title: Pirates! In an Adventure with an Ex-Seminarian
Fandoms: Lewis and Pirates!In an Adventure with Scientists
Rating: g, gen
Word count: 1,903
Spoilers: mild spoilers for the entire run of Lewis, sorry
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit.

Summary: What if Hathaway had joined the Pirate Crew instead of Oxford CID?

Pirates! In an Adventure with an Ex-Seminarian

You'd think I wouldn't have another sick!Steve fic left in me (I can't even bear to count up how many I've written). But apparently you'd be wrong.

In any case, though, I've finally written something for Running Hot III. The funny thing is, I signed up for the hawaii_50_hc "alphabet challenge" and I got "R" for "relax." I couldn't for the life of me think of something to go with that prompt. But this fic would fit it perfectly #toolittletoolate

Title: Track Record
Fandom: H50
Rating: G, gen
Warnings/Spoilers: n/a. Only really canon compliant for S1, though--I haven't even watched most of S3 (though I plan to).
Word count: 2,226
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit
a/n: for this prompt

Summary: "You," said Danny, "are the most uptight sick person I've ever met."

In other news, RUNNING HOT III is still very much open, with all kinds of fabulous prompts in many, many fandoms. Please come check them out!

Because there are five beautiful pages of luscious prompts in many, many fandoms (including Sherlock, Elementary, Avengers, Star Trek, Hockey RPF, Person of Interest, Merlin, Skyfall, White Collar, H50, Lewis, Ripper Street and many more!)

here on dw.

So far, we have three fills--in White Collar, Sherlock, and H50, but I'm hoping for more!

So, I don't think I'm ever going to write Star Trek fic. But you know what I do sometimes write? Yup. This one is more than usually ridiculous, but when I heard BC had used TH's trainer for Into Darkness I couldn't resist.

Muscles
Rating: Hard R
Pairing: Benedict Cumberbatch/Tom Hardy
Spoilers: for STID, yeah.
Word count: 2,277
Disclaimer: This is entirely fiction, and is in no way intended to reflect the lives of the persons whose names I've used.

Summary: Benedict couldn’t wait to show Tom his new body. No, not like that. Well, not 100% like that, anyway.

Colds, flu, infections, insect-borne pathogens. Poisons, curses, spells.

Chills, sweats, delirium, hallucinations.

Huddling for warmth. Cool cloths. Unanticipated handsiness.

Delirious confessions of love. Confessions of love while the other person is unconscious.

Repressed memories rising to the surface.

The possibilities are endless.



A few ground-rules: (note that there are few additions this year)

01. Prompts should have fever as one of their elements (or as an implied part of the prompt, like “appendicitis”). Other than that, be as inventive as you like about the causes and effects of said fever. This is a multi-fandom meme. Prompts involving any characters from any fandom are welcome. Crossover prompts are welcome. RPF/ RPS is also welcome.

02. This post is mirrored on LJ /DW. You may prompt where you like and post where you like. That is, you can take a post from DW and post it to LJ and vice versa--just write FILLED in your subject line when you post a comment with a fill, and, if possible, link to the original prompt. The masterlist will cover both sites.

03. Comment to this post on either LJ or DW with your desired fandom, characters or pairings, and a prompt. All genres/pairings are welcome. You can also state your desired rating, though you don't have to (some people like sex with their fever fic, some people don’t, even for couples--some people don’t care)
Example A: “Hawaii Five-O. Team or Steve/Danny. Steve has a bullet wound that gets infected. Ninja SEAL that he is, he refuses to take it easy, making problems for the team as they try to track down an arms dealer. Any rating.”
Example B: “Supernatural: Sam/Dean. Dean has the chills and there is cuddling. R and higher rating, pls.”

04. You can leave as many prompts as you like, but one prompt per comment, please. If you've got a few, comment with each separately.

05. Your prompts can be as short or as detailed as you’d like.

06. Scroll through the comments and when/if you find a prompt you like, write a fic in reply to the comment.

07. More than one comment-fic response to a prompt is totally acceptable, and in fact encouraged. The more fic, the better!

08. Art submissions are very much accepted too!

09. When replying to a prompt with your comment-fic, put ‘FILLED’ in your subject line and then anything else you want, ie: a title if you have one/part numbers/rating. It’s not a big deal if you forget this step, but it will make it easier for people to find your fic, and for me when I’m compiling the masterlist. Consider including warnings if the fic features non-con or non-canonical character death.

10. I have enabled anonymous posting, but I am screening anonymous comments, and I won't unscreen anything rude or disrespectful of authors, characters or prompts. I also reserve the right to delete named comments that are rude or disrespectful.

11. NO SPOILERS for unaired episodes, please. If you're prompting something from a recently aired episode, please be courteous and note that there may be spoilers before you get to the main part of your request.

12. Likewise, no character bashing, or rudeness in general.

13. Do feed your authors! They’re awesome.

14. If you want to advertise this, that’s fantastic! It would be really appreciated. There are some banners here, but if anyone feels like making more for newer fandoms, that would be awesome.

FAQ:

•Yes, if your fic gets too long for a comment-fic, you can comment with the link to it at lj/dw/AO3.
•Because it bears repeating - yes, art is more than welcome as well as fic.
•As for a timeframe - this post will be open for prompting at least until June 17. There’s no exact timeframe, because I play it by ear and don’t close it until I see it’s starting to slow down. In any case, it will stay open indefinitely for new comment-fics and comments/feedback.

Any other questions? Feel free to PM me.

Lovely banner by norgbelulah. Thanks to hoodie_time for letting me borrow its excellent rules.

Here are the master lists for 2011 and 2012 if you want to do some reading to get in the mood!

Here is a handy and sensible guide to fever in adults -- but, hey, it's fic, realism is always optional ;)

NB: There is an AO3 collection for Running Hot. If you want to post a fic your write to the collection, just follow the link and click on "post to collection." If you have a fic on AO3 you wrote last year for the meme, you can edit the "does this belong to a collection" box to have it added to the Running Hot collection.

NB: Don't forget there are prompts at both LJ and DW. The 2013 Masterpost is here on LJ and here on DW

PROMPT AWAY AND HAVE FUN!

I think, I'm almost definitely sure, that I'm going to run "Running Hot III" (the fever!fic prompt fest I've done the past two years) later this month.

I'm not sure how many people are still posting/reading on LJ/DW, but, it's been fun the past two times, and even if there's smaller participation, we can still have fun, yeah? This year, though, I will definitely put up posts on both LJ and DW, so people can prompt/post either place. We also, as of last year, have an AO3 collection, so posting is possible there, too.

So: WATCH THIS SPACE around MAY 22-23!! (I want to wait until after Star Trek: Into Darkness comes out, so that there's at least one giant new exciting fan-event to write about).

Here are the masterlists from the past two years, in case you want to refresh your memory as to what it's all about: 2010, 2012.

Also: I was so excited that I completed the hc_bingo April challenge, that I signed up for the May challenge: which is to write a story for a tiny/Yuletide-sied fandom for one of the following prompts. Now, you might say the bigger challenge for me would be to write fic for a fandom that wasn't tiny, and you'd be right, but still, I couldn't resist.

pandemics and epidemics	suicide attempt
loss of voice	disappearing

Y'all know what tiny fandoms I like and what prompt I'm particularly tempted by here--any ideas?
