An A&A&A Christmas was written as a last-minute Christmas present for fellow A&A&A creator Rukuelle Mendiant (read: my sister) who is about the only person I will voluntarily write twelve – twelve – request fics for in the space of one weekend.
The background for this fic is that of A&A&A: The Faculty, the oft-discussed but never written-down sequel to A&A&A Boarding School, in which certain students from the original batch return to their alma mater as relief teachers to the impossibly idealistic first-years and unbelievably uncontrollable second-years (hailing from completely new fandoms. Shows how much our taste in literature has changed over the years).
Request #1: Artemis/Hermione
Notes: Artemis and Hermione are relief teachers now (for Math and Magic respectively). Artemis is also secretly a con man in hiding, but you didn’t need to know that particular subplot.
Request #2: Field Skills lesson in Winter Warfare
- with Mimi Marquez, Tristan Lyonesse, Stelios Dienekes, Olga Tyunina and Shuichi Nakatsu on a team
Notes: All the above are first-years. Holly teaches Field Skills, which is the updated version of Firearms.
Request #3: Mistletoe Like In Shoebox (the Moffles is very specific about these things) Must Have Sands, All Kisses Must Be Wrong Ones, I Must Laugh Until I Die
Notes: All the below are second-years.
Request #4: Enjolras/Eponine
Notes: Enjolras teaches French to second-years. Eponine teaches first-years.
Request #5: The Big Fat Kill
Request #6: The V&V Hat Shop
Notes: Anna and Van Helsing decided teaching wasn’t really their thing.
Request #7: Resident Evil, unrequited Alice/Matt, carollers
Notes: Gail is not canonically Mimi’s sister. But they are both played by Rosario Dawson so I can never resist.
Request #8: Firefly, the whole gang (even Book)
Notes: I am stealing Sylvia Plath’s line from Balloons, to constitute River-speak.
Request #9: Bigby/Snow
Notes: Snow is a second-year prefect. Bigby…is not.
Request #10: Galadriel forces the mariachis to carol.
Note: The mariachis are second-years.
Request #11: Surprise Request! (i.e. let the Zei choose)
Request #12: Drunk Staff Party
