Dear Yuletide Writer 2018

Thank you for taking the time to read this!
First things first, I'm probably going to love whatever you write for me. Optional details are always optional, especially with ships. I'm just as happy with genfic for any of the characters I've requested.
I'm also
Serenity_Ribbon on the Ao3!
General likes: Found family, friends-to-lovers, polyamorous relationships, kidfic, canon divergent AUs, missing scenes, alternate PoV, worldbuilding, focus on minor canon characters, epistolary fic, future fic, use of minor canon/one-off lines, humour, pining and hurt/comfort.
I also like 1st and 2nd person narratives and playing around with those and tenses, but if you don't like to write like that, don't worry about it!
Dislikes: incest, depicted non-con, unresolved angst, embarrassment humour, more violence than canon, character death, hopeless endings, PWP, genderbends/cisswaps.
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood: Any Characters
This one goes against the grain in what I normally like in my media, but I read it and loved it and then wrote an essay about it and... somehow loved it even more? I'd love fic about what's going on outside Offred's relatively tiny bubble.
Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch: Beverley Brook, Thomas Nightingale, Peter Grant
I read this series earlier this year and I fell in love with the worldbuilding and the characters and the humour and how about 10-15% of it wouldn't be too out of place in a domestic au.
I ship Peter in an open polyamorous relationship with Beverley and with Nightingale, but I'd be more than happy with Peter/Nightingale or Peter/Beverley or genfic. I've read the comics and I'll have definitely read Lies Sleeping by Yuletide, so feel free to include any details you want from those.
Deadpool (Movies): Neena Thurman, Ellie Phimister, Yukio
Did I mention I really like comedy? I liked the original, but I love the added characters in Deadpool 2 and I'd really love some fic with added focus on them. I have little-to-no comics knowledge so I've no idea how much anything in them applies to these three.

- What kind of world is the in-universe Handmaid's Tale being released into?
- Offred's daughter and what she's going through. How much can she know of what's actually happening around her?
- Expansion on any of the other Handmaids and how they deal with their situation.
- Life before Gilead, either when there's problems but it's still mostly fine or as the regime grows in power.
- How are other countries dealing with the same problems as Gilead? What do they know and think about the regime?

- Case-fic! Beverley's knowledge and skills helping on a case, or them being called outside of London, or a mundane case getting mistaken for something the Folly should look into.
- Something about the internal politics of the demi-monde and how any or all of these characters fit (or don't) into that community.
- On the other hand, the politics at play within the police and how the Folly navigates them.
- Any aspects of mythology or fantasy that the series hasn't played around with yet. I'm particularly interested in things that originated in non-English parts of the UK.
- Beverley's life before, around and during the books. What was she up to before Rivers of London, or during her time upstream, or even during The Hanging Tree?

- Anything using one (or more!) of these three's PoV's would be great.
- What's Negasonic and Yukio's daily lives like, when Wade isn't making a nuisance of himself?
- Domino deciding to respond to the X-Force ad. (For that matter, what the hell does that ad look like?)
- Anything about any of them discovering their mutation, especially as Domino seems to been able to keep hers a secret.
