autumn extravaganza prompts masterlist!

Hi, all! Here's the list of all the prompts that were submitted, now open for claiming!

Rules reminder, very quickly:
1. in this first round, you may claim as many prompts as you want that were submitted by different people--that is, we're trying to make sure everyone gets something, so if Person X submitted prompts 1, 2, and 3, and Person K submitted prompts 4, 5, and 6, you may claim prompts 2 and 6, but not 2 and 3.
2. you may claim a prompt that someone else has already claimed if you also claim another unfilled prompt. For example, if you really want to write or make art for prompt 2 and prompt 6, but someone else has already claimed prompt 2, and no one has yet claimed prompt 6, you may claim both 2 and 6, but not just 2 by itself. (Essentially, this is a reward for picking up unfilled prompts, and also hopefully a way to make claiming fair for people who come by to sign up later in the day.)
3. once we know that every person is getting at least one thing, the second round of claiming can start--at this point, any of the prompts are fair game, whether they're by the same person, or already claimed, or what have you. Go nuts. Be awesome. You will know when the second round starts because shayzgirl or luninosity will make an announcement. Or you can keep an eye on this space and beat us to it.
4. sign up in comments to this post--if you can't leave a comment, for whatever reason, let us know, via message or on tumblr or whatever's easiest, and we'll work something out. When you sign up, list the numbers of the prompts you want. You don't have to tell us whether you're doing fic or art or pottery or knitted figures or interpretive dance, but you may want to, just to let your prompter know what to expect.
5. can you sign up to do a fill even if you didn't leave a prompt? yes you absolutely may, if you are that generous and kind-hearted a person and want to make something with no expectation of a present in return.

Ready? Okay! *waves pom-poms*

The Prompt List

by luninosity
1. Blankets, cozy evenings, cuddling against the chill. Perhaps it’s the first autumn they’ve spent together; and pumpkin-spice flavors and shared candlelight are even better when falling in love.

2. Oh, horror! They’ve run out of coffee. Michael cannot let James wake up without coffee, especially when it’s this cold in the morning. Clearly he has to solve this problem. Fast. By any means necessary.

3. James will go slightly out of the way to step on a crunchy-looking leaf. Michael finds this adorable.

4. Watching classic horror movies (because James is going to be Dr Frankenstein, after all) together. Possibly with a power outage just at midnight…

5. Michael and James are returning to school after a long summer, Michael can't stop thinking about their little kiss in the end of last year.

6. James forgets his keys, Michael says he is going to be home in ten minutes. It takes 30 minutes and James gets soaked under the rain. In the end, Michael is very angry with himself.

7. They decide to knit scarves for each other. James is very good at it, but Michael ends up with something is definitely not a scarf.

8. James adores pumpkin cheesecake, and Michael spoils him with one.

by shayzgirl
9. It's their first Halloween with their child, who is finally old enough to pick out their own costume and go trick or treating without needing to be carried by James or Michael.

10. James has planned the perfect New Year's Eve for them, seeing as it's their first NYE as a couple, and he wants everything to go perfectly, but of course things start going wrong. But everything works out in the end.

11. James and Michael decide to celebrate Christmas with Sir Ian and Sir Patrick. The four of them together, nowhere near a normal Christmas.

12. Michael likes the fall in London, not too cold or too warm, sweater weather and crunchy leaves. Loves watching James enjoy the fall, too. Too bad he's stuck in sunny Los Angeles all alone. Or is he?

by shiromori
13. Unrequited Michael/James (because I'm a masochist like that) - James is hopelessly in love with his wife. Michael is hopelessly in love with James. Michael takes every opportunity and excuse to be near him, even though he knows James doesn't think of him that way. Does James suspect?

14. James and Michael get caught in the rain (that's sort of autumn-y, right?), but luckily Michael's place is close by. He invites James in to dry off and warm up.

15. Caz Miller ("Murphy's Law")/Martin Vosper ("Murder in Mind") - Caz has a new pretty boy.

16. Max Lewinsky/Caz Miller - I don't even care how this happens, tbh. I just want more Caz. And some intense Max.

by papercutperfect
17. James/Michael or Lefroy/Rochester - A walk through the Autumn forest, confessions, and crunchy leaves under boots.

18. James and Michael celebrate Fireworks Night (November 5th) together. Fireworks, bonfires, sparklers and cuddling close for warmth.

19. James and Michael putting up their Christmas tree. First Christmas, stories about homemade decorations, strict rules on tinsel/bauble ratio and bickering over who gets to put the angel/star on top this year.

20. Jumping in puddles in wellington boots.

by redwesteinde
21. Quintus Dias (Centurion)/Mr.Tumnus - A wounded Quintus finds sanctuary in a kindly faun's home.

22. James/Michael - Love will hit you like a freight train, or so they say. For Michael it creeps up entirely unnoticed.

23. James/Michael - James sucks at iceskating. Michael is the unfortunate fool who didn't get out of the way when James told him to.

24. Lefroy/Rochester - It was meant to be joke, a good laugh for the party: Lefroy and Rochester, two opposing personalities caught under the mistletoe. And yet amidst the laughs and jeers of the crowd, when their lips finally connect for a reluctant peck - they both feel something a little more.

25. Michael/Tumnus: When Michael is reaches into his newly acquired antique wardrobe for something warm to wear, he pulls out a scarf--and to his surprise, something is attached to the other end.

26. Michael/Wesley Gibson: Michael runs into "James" at a coffee shop off-set and generously pays the bill, when James isn't looking. When he is thanked, he realizes that "James" isn't actually James, after all. And if the look of interest he's getting is anything to go by, Michael is about to live out a long-denied fantasy.

27. James/Michael: James and Michael make a sex tape. Yes, this prompt has been done before but, in my opinion, can never be done enough...to keep up with the theme, it can be on a cool fall night, in front of nice, toasty fireplace.

28. James/Brandon Sullivan (Variation of prompt #2): One chilly fall day, James spots Michael walking down the street (looking mighty fine in his tailored wool coat) and is unable to look away. He's at bit surprised, as he's never been attracted to Michael before, so what's different this time? Oh, wait! That's not Michael! Well, well...

by pseudoneems
29. Michael is a meanie and pranks James the entire night on Halloween and scares the shit out of him. James takes revenge.

30. One of them grows a beard for no-shave-November/Movember. The other one hates it after it starts interfering with, well, everything.

31. James is a model, Michael's his bodyguard who's currently accompanying him on his autumn fashion shoot. Cue overprotective snarling at too many people having their hands all over James. Also, because he kind of wants to be all those people as well. (DD-inspired! My apologies if someone's already written something for the DD and I completely missed it!)

by clarounette
32. Prison AU: Michael is a criminal in prison, and James is his guard. You can take it from here wherever you want.

33. anything James/Michael really!

by comp_lady
34. Pumpkin carving

35. One of the boys secretly hoards candles because fall is when all of the autumn themed scents come out

36. LeFroy, Autumn walks along wooded paths

37. There needs to be a fic involving leaf piles. I mean, really, James and Michael would totally dive into giant leaf piles together.

by synekdokee
38. the old Xavier mansion and a haunting. I'd really like it to be creepy rather than silly. (mods' note: in general, we try to discourage Charles/Erik focused works just because there're so many other excellent places for that, and we'd like the focus to be on the McFassy and their other character pairings, but using the mansion as a setting, or background Erik/Charles, or crossover-type stories are okay!)

39. Coffee shop au! Pumpkin flavoured pastries and hot cocoa and autumn rains.

40. Start of school year, one as the new transfer student.

by kageillusionz
41. Brandon/Johnny, Nothing says I love you like a walk in Central/Hyde Park (up to you if you prefer New York or London as a base~), hand holding, perhaps some eskimo kisses that leads to something sweet?

42. Brandon/Johnny, Photographer AU, Brandon as Johnny's new patron and muse. Johnny Martin has been rather down on his luck lately. He's a starving artist with a trademark black and white photography that has a certain harshness, a brutal honesty about it that ought to have skyrocketed him to fame. And yet it hadn't. Enter Brandon who Johnny happens to notice whilst taking a walk in the park with the autumn leaves falling about him. (I HAVE A THING FOR PARKS).

43. Brandon/Johnny, The woes of celebrating halloween during a bloody snow/rainstorm are the bloody power outages that has Johnny cursing up and down, attracting the attention of his rather handsome neighbour who has come to offer coffee/pie...

44. James and Michael and a haunted house. (Or a haunted castle in Scotland or Ireland, as you please!) Stormy nights and sputtering candles and unquiet ghosts.

45. Red Riding Hood AU. A night in a lonely cabin in the woods, and James deciding for himself whether he actually needs to be afraid of the stranger who's made himself at home in his grandparents' house...

46. James, Michael, and a seance. Maybe they're attendees who find themselves affected by the spirits in the air (and each other...), or one is the spirit of the pale young man lying in the bed upstairs, and the other manages to lead him home, or something else entirely! Victorian AU optional (but awesome!), although, in that case I would prefer it still be James and Michael rather than any of their characters; my Jane Eyre feels are such that I can't do Rochester without Jane ;)

47.



The steps on the hillside lead to a cabin covered in moss and ivy, and James is the man who lives inside - that is, if man is entirely the right word. Some say fairies live in these woods, some whisper of other things... not that it particularly matters one way or another, but Michael can't help himself from wondering.
