Dear Yule Goat...

fabrisseDear Yule Goat -- I've been a good girl and posted lots of stories.
In general, I'm thrilled that you're writing for me and I'm thrilled to be taking part in another Yuletide.
I've put any fandom specific limitations in the prompts, but there are some things I just really love or hate.
General nos: Extreme violence. Rape or Dubcon. There are certain acts which just don't turn me on: scat, blood play, golden showers.
All BDSM must be safe, sane, and consensual.
General yeses: Exploration of emotions and the consequences of actions. I'm fine with explicit slash, het, or threesomes (or moresomes).
The fandoms are :
VR.5
Legion of Extraordinary Dancers
Hellspark! by Janet Kagan
Kingdom of Heaven
The Shadow
VR.5: I adored this show. If you don't own it, the episodes can be found on YouTube.
Duncan -- he stayed with Sydney throughout her life. Her mother is in a mental facility, her father and sister are dead -- or not, but Duncan has remained a constant. He knew kabbalah symbols before the practice was as famous as it is now. He's not plugged in to the virtual world, but he deals in the mystic. In "Escape," his prolonged VR.5 interlude was entirely inside his own head, something no one else had done. I'd like to know how he made his choice to stay at Sydney's side. I'd rather keep Duncan and Sydney as a platonic relationship.
There's also the neon sign on the roof of their building. Seymour's with its flashing lights rotating through "Eat More, Sleep More, Play More" -- and in VR, Sydney (and others) certainly "see more" than they otherwise would. Sydney and Duncan often meet late at night under it. What does the Buddhist-leaning Duncan make of it?
I also adore Oliver and Sydney's relationship and Oliver with Alex and her many faces. An exploration of the Bloom marriage pre-car accident would be stunning. Or a character study of either of the Bloom parents that includes the missing twin. Any rating. Essentially, I'm easy in this fandom. There's so little exploration of this multi-levelled world.
Legion of Extraordinary Dancers aka The LXD: I have no objections to sex and any rating through explicit is fine in this fandom. My only real squick is having evil win the war.
Sp3cimen's and Autumn's relationship when he's in the hospital in season 1 is gorgeous. Then in Season 3, he comes to her only to find that she's now a minion of the Dark Doctor and ends up turned himself. Since there hasn't been a season 4, how do they become good guys again? Any exploration of their relationship pre-season 3 would also be wonderful, whether direct or indirect (do they keep just barely missing each other?). Feel free to bring in the other dancers as you wish. We were limited to four characters, but I really do love all the dancers (even if I'm not fond of the Dark Doctor characters). This doesn't have to have a happy ending for them (though, I love happy endings), but if there's a "good guys win through sacrifice" ending, I can accept a bittersweet or sad ending for them.
I love Elliot Hoo (Harry Shum, Jr. is brilliant), and the Season 3 episode where his shoes need to be repaired is delightful. He also seems to have real chemistry with Vivienne (the head of the clothing department). There's so much going on, that I'd love to see expanded. I could also see it as a simple (or complicated) love story in time of war. Sp3cimen ends up being their entrée to the costuming area, so exploring his ability to persuade women (which he may be oblivious to) is also fun. The ascended fanboys and the assistants are hilarious, so feel free to throw them in if you like.
I have to say, I love the good side in this war. I'd rather not have too much exploration of the Dark Doctor side of things, unless you're getting Sp3cimen and Autumn out of his clutches. Obviously, a battle or confrontation needs both sides, so I'm not saying "DON'T!" just expressing a preference.
Hellspark! by Janet Kagan -- (Any rating EXCEPT explicit) I want a post-book story about Tocohl as a Byworld Judge. If Om im has already joined her as a judge's aide, all the better. If it involves Buntec, Edge-of-Dark, Tinling Alfvaen, or even "Old Rattlebrain," that's all to the good. I loved the festival of Saint Veshke -- and it's implied that there's always a need for Byworld Judges there -- but I could also see another story set on Flashfever dealing with the sprookjes and their off-world trading.
Kingdom of Heaven: Baudouin (Baldwin) offers Jerusalem to Balian through his sister and Balian turns him down. How did Baudouin come to make the offer, what counsel did he take, and how does he feel knowing that death is near, and his brother-in-law will destroy the peace with Saladin he’s worked for. Any way that you care to expand on Baudouin would be welcome. To have survived as a leper for so long must have taken great strength of will. If Saladin makes an appearance, that would be lovely, but my central interest is in a King who must be a recluse, whether or not that’s his temperament, and his philosophical attitude toward the city-state he rules.
The Shadow: I love the stylishness of this movie. Not a huge fan of Margo, but if that’s the best approach go for it. I'd love the time-skip in the movie, i.e. Lamont’s return to New York after his sojourn in Asia. How did he find the lair with all the pneumatic tubes. How does his power to cloud men’s minds affect his relationships. Tell me more about why he’s close to his uncle and why they frequent that night club. In short, anything in New York that predates most of the main action of the movie would be most welcome.
