For this fandom, I’d basically love any AU where they survive somehow, that divergence from any point of canon from your choosing. I’m not looking for a happy-ending, necessarily. Just a chance for them to have sex, have a bit of hope for a life together, even if on the run from their families, or just a different way for things to go terribly wrong. The movie just made me crave more of these two.

Available on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnOlzfp3bgo. It’s a second feature, and is very short, just over an hour long.
Note: I don’t think either of them actually gets a first name at any point in canon. It’s based on a novel but I haven’t been able to get hold of a copy or find out much about it. I do semi-headcanon hers as Anne, probably because I read Cat Among the Pigeons at about the same tame and associated her with Ann Shapland, but go with whatever you want.
~~
I'm always a sucker for mysteries with a school as the setting, and this is delightful. I love what a period piece it is, and the dynamic of the two leads.
I’d love to see a post-canon fic, where their paths cross again. Cigarette kink, more of their semi-competitive dynamic, with her trying to prove his chauvinistic nonsense wrong. Or skip ahead to a future where they’re in an established relationship of any kind – married, engaged, or right at the point of becoming engaged. Basically I'd love for them to get the Lord Peter Wimsey-Harriet Vane treatment. Case fic would be wonderful, but it absolutely doesn't need to be fully realised, and I'd be just as delighted with something tropey or PWP instead.

I mean, there’s a reason why it’s a classic: all that loyalty and friendship, and the sheer scale of what they achieved, and the ingenuity that went into the escape. I really liked the way it echoes a heist film, but in reverse, with everyone having their designated tasks, and the stoic attitude to suffering from just about everyone, and all the opportunities for competence porn. I would love something which explores their relationship, whether shippy or gen or something in between.
I’m here for hurt/comfort, honour and loyalty and friendship, intense relationships whether platonic or otherwise (or something in between). Stoicism, and character studies, and historical detail, and mutual support, Roger stoically dealing with PTSD from his treatment at the hands of the Gestapo, bad dreams, keeping busy because otherwise you’ll lose your damn mind, missing scenes from any point in the film, and just generally studies of their relationship.

When I started watching this version of Hamlet my thoughts for it went something along the lines of, yep, okay, I’m basically just watching this for one particular actor, but hey, I have been meaning to watch more Shakespeare for a while, so I might as well start here, and it’s not like I’m going to end up shipping it or anyth-- dammit.
Seriously, though. Horatio. Baby. <3<3<3 He’s so lovely in this, sweet and smiley and bookish, and he gives Ophelia the loveliest hug, and the dynamic between him and Hamlet is… well, uhm, how do I put this, I was very definitely getting a low-key Horatio is desperately in love with Hamlet subtext up until the final scene, at which point it ceased to be subtext and became about as close to being text-text as it’s possible to get without them actually kissing, and in a way that appeals extremely strongly to my id. Holy crap, I was not expecting it to be that shippy.
As for Hamlet/Horatio, ahhh, man. <3<3<3 My personal headcanon for these particular versions is that they love each other, but it’s platonic on Hamlet’s side, however it’s entirely up to you whether you go with that, or if you want to have Hamlet reciprocating, whether or not he takes it as seriously as Horatio does. I’d love to see hurt/comfort, backstory for them, explorations of the class issues, pining (mutual or otherwise), missing scenes, post-canon fics, whether canon-divergent or otherwise (and I am more than happy for Main Character Death and heavy focus on grief here, just for the record). Or a post-canon thing focusing on the theme of truth? Also ghosts, supernatural fuckery, Horatio dealing with the aftermath of canon and essentially being the last man standing. That moment when Horatio hugged Ophelia also got me wondering about how the relationship between the three of them might pan out, and I’m also open for fics that explore the Horatio-Hamlet-Ophelia relationship, whether its a triad or v-shaped.

~~
While normally it’s a toss-up between the show and the books, in this case I particularly prefer the series, mainly because the characters seem significantly more likeable, plus there’s also the wonderful dynamic between Poirot and Sir Charles, and, um, *cough* Martin Shaw arguably at his hottest in a tragic May-December romance. Which…. God, I’d just LOVE to see more of. I ship Egg and Sir Charles so freaking hard. They love each other so much, and I especially adore the bleak turn taken in the denouement, when Egg realises the truth, and just damn my freaking heart.
I love the way the age gap is dealt with, the no one’s really judgemental of it even if it does raise a couple of eyebrows – it’s treated as natural and understandable on both their parts, and they just adore each other so much in a way that I am completely weak for. I love the moment where Egg’s mother points out that an older man’s discretions are mostly behind him, and whether that’s right or wrong I can’t help making hearteyes at the pair of them.
Go with a permanent fix-it, or a temporary fix-it only to make things much much worse (and let me just say I am completely fine with Main Character Death here), something canon-compliant or something which looks at how differently things might have gone had the circumstances been different. (Background Egg/Oliver Manders is fine too, especially in post-canon canon-compliant fics). And if you want to go hard on that delicious loyalty kink between Sir Charles and Poirot then that’s welcome too. :D

I’d also like to make it clear that I am extremely here for Bad Guys Made Them Do It for all the ships I’ve requested. Handle that however you want with Bodie/Doyle, but for Cowley/Bodie I’d prefer Cowley topping if it comes to penetrative sex. Beyond that I have no topping preferences. I’m also open to noncon scenarios involving noncon by a third party, whether on or off-screen, for the purposes of hurt/comfort or whumpy hurt/no comfort scenarios because they’re too damn stoic to talk about it (and my Dubcon with Unaroused Victims DNW doesn’t apply here).
~~
I love this show so, so much. I could spend forever watching the dynamic between Cowley, Bodie, and Doyle, the banter, the jokes, the friendly rivalry, the way their different backgrounds give them different insights and skills, and the vibe I get that Cowley, who I adore beyond all reason (*gestures sheepishly to most of the rest of my sign-up*) is actually harder than Bodie and Doyle put together. Cowley chewing them out because they've disobeyed his orders and then immediately doing a U-turn and supporting them to the hilt, the way their characters shift and adapt over time, the uncomfortable questions it raises about their methods… Oh, and the whump. Getting shot and beaten up and captured and generally getting the shit kicked out of them. So damn here for all of that. XD I love the way it subverts expectations too, with all the literary references and the acknowledgement of CI5’s often deeply questionable tactics.
I'd love to see smut, character studies, hurt/comfort, case-fic, apocalypse AUs, loyalty kink and exploration of trust issues, pining...

Currently up on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuqafiyLnN4. The episode is also available from Amazon Prime UK. It's just under an hour long.
And while it should go without saying, if you’re at all in any doubt regarding my DNW, this very much counts as requested incest, whatever level of explicitness you go with. :D Please avoid any suggestions of anything underage though: a huge part of why I love the dynamic between them is the implication that Mary isn’t that young and that she’s fast approaching spinsterhood.
If you'd rather treat the relationship as & and concentrate on the Gothic atmosphere and horror then that's fine too.

Hah, well, damn, turns out that when you go trawling through an actor’s back catalogue, you find some… I want to say gems, but I’m not sure if that’s really the work for this batshit fever dream of a horror show. Even so, I love it to bits and I wish to god it was longer: there’s a whole novel’s worth of Gothic WTFery to unpack here.
This is a standalone episode from a 1970s BBC anthology series of gothic horror stories, gloriously overwrought, somewhat stagey, and just bonkers from start to finish. (The puppet show. Oh, god, the puppet show.) All the episodes feature a narrator telling a grisly tale to the members of a Club in the hopes of becoming a member themselves: if they fail to convince, it means their death, and that’s really all you need to know about the wider series (although the other episodes are also worth watching, and if you want to have characters from one episode meeting characters from another then please do. I'm pretty fascinated by the background story of the club too, so if that's what you want to explore...).
This episode is so gloriously fucking weird. Scenery-chewing, Hammer-horror-esque sets, Howard in a loose shirt and undone waistcoat exploring darkened corridors and brandishing a candelabra, the heavily implied incestuous attraction between him and his daughter… uh, and FYI, those scenes between them are some of the most uncomfortably hot things I’ve ever seen – her touching his hand, the way he eases her down onto the bed, while he touches her face and searchingly gazes at her. The slowly dawning realisation that the slight incesty vibes I was getting weren’t actually accidental, and oh, hey, turns out I ship it. Oh, damn, he’s really distraught and guilty over what happened? Turns out I REALLY ship it.
I'm open to any level of explicitness for the ship, from canon-style uncomfortable smarm to explicit sex, but I'd also love to see something that concentrates on the gothic atmosphere/plot, and which treats it as an entirely non-incestuous father-daughter relationship.
I'd love smut, horror, character studies, anything that really digs into the questions canon raises (the episode itself, and the wider show if you've watched the whole thing), or which wallows about in all that glorious Gothic atmostphere.

God, I love this series so, so much. It’s one of the few things that I find utterly gripping, holding me absolutely spell-bound until the closing credits in a way very few things do. All the individual episodes are so absorbing, just perfectly crafted little individual teleplays, with a cast of characters that I adore. They’re all so flawed and real, and I love the way the series dips in and out of the semi-contained episodes, often with long time-skips between them and characters coming and going depending on the plot. The cast of characters, flawed and imperfect though they all are, are the ‘I love everyone in this bar’ kind of ensemble, and I am especially here for life below stairs and for the lives of the women in general, the petty little cruelties and the painful inevitabilities of that sort of life. And loss and missed opportunities, and what might have been, like Rose’s dead fiance, and all the different relationships between the characters, both above and below stairs. And the life of servants in general, the contrast between the absolute chaos when something’s going on and the quiet moments when there’s nothing to do except fall asleep by the fire. There’s so much I’d love to see explored.
Mr Hudson/Mrs Bridges was absolutely not the OTP I was expecting to end up shipping when I went in, but it’s hit me pretty damn hard. It’s that whole thing of middle-aged people getting together, especially when they both of them have reason to think they’ll be alone for the rest of their lives, and the mix of mutual affection and respect with it being a practical arrangement, and I am so, so here for it turning out to be a much more passionate arrangement than either of them ever expected.
I’d love to see any part of this relationship explored, from where the line between love and duty lies, to the two of them being more suited to each other than they realised (and the converse of that – that they aren’t perfect for each other but they find ways to compromise), moments from that long, long courtship (and the oddness of a courtship that essentially happens after they’ve got engaged), or what happens to them post-canon. There was apparently going to be a spin-off series focused on the two of them running a guest house in Hastings that never came about, and I’m very curious about what that would have looked like. But generally, I am utterly head-over-heels in love with this fandom, so anything you write about it will be welcome, whether it focuses on the relationship between them, or if that goes on the back-burner for something more in line with canon.

Oh god, this film is absolutely delightful. It’s just the loveliest film, and I love everything about it: the central message of how every problem can be solved with bootleg whisky, the quiet understated humour, and especially all the scenes of island life, the rèiteach, and all the Gaelic, and the scenery (even if it doesn’t quite come through in b&w), and the two central romances, particularly George and Catriona, who were adorable. I’d love to see more of the two of them, whether it follows them post-canon, or if it’s set in the period leading up to the events in the film. The film focuses a lot on the men of the island, so if you want to expand on the two sisters and their relationship with each other, and the other women of the island, especially George’s mother, then please do. I’d really love either something which captures the tone of the film (sweet and fluffy and gently funny) OR something atmospheric which captures the character and beauty of the island.
Generally I’d love to see something indulgently fluffy and heartwarming, home guard shenanigans, or some other low-stakes conflict, something domestic, sweet or smutty (or both), or alternatively something which goes hard on the atmosphere, details of island life, and scenery porn, or domestic details of married life as their marriage evolves over the years and the seasons. A gentle murder mystery or some other kind of casefic would also be wonderful.
