Dear Casefic Exchange Creator
Hello! I love casefic and I am excited about what you are going to make for me!
I love treats and have gifts enabled.
Likes: plotty fic, domestic fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, forced proximity (one bed/tent/hotel room/escape pod, etc), banter, bonding, enemies/antagonists to friends or lovers, healing from trauma, ambiguous relationships (are they friends or enemies? was that flirting or just being Normal about each other? do even they know?), loyalty and trust, unexpected moments of empathy.
Casefic likes: mission fic, murder mysteries, everything from light/fun/playful mysteries to very serious plots involving angst and emotional/physical hurt, canon-typical plots, undercover and all its associated tropes (undercover as a couple or married; forced to hurt ally while undercover; undercover as bartender/coffee shop/other job; etc), heists, reluctant teamups between enemies/antagonists cooperating for the same goal, cat and mouse between two skilled characters, "play" mysteries in which allies compete against each other (e.g. scavenger hunts, capture the flag, war games), hurt/comfort, secret codes/passing messages cleverly, espionage, puzzles/maps/treasure hunts, wrongly accused of a crime you didn't commit, characters in peril, daring rescues, having to choose between the person you're loyal to and your orders/job/government, casefic as an excuse for enforced proximity and finding out more about each other (platonic welcome!).
Do not want: Deaths of requested characters, sad/tragic endings.

Biggles books - W.E. Johns
Fandom-specific DNW: Please avoid mention of von Stalhein in WW2.
Solo: James "Biggles" Bigglesworth
James Bigglesworth & Algy Lacey & Ginger Hebblethwaite & Bertie Lissie
Biggles & Algy Lacey & Ginger Hebblethwaite & Bertie Lissie & Erich von Stalhein
I would love something that feels like an SAP case. It can be as gonzo or down to earth as you like - they can be investigating cursed treasure or smugglers transporting rare ferrets via airplane or whatever you want. Maybe they're in the field in a fun or interesting location, or they could be investigating something close to home. (I loved On The Home Front and Biggles Goes Alone, so if you want to do something like that - seaside holiday cozy mystery, undercover shenanigans, whatever - I am completely there for it. But I also really enjoy their globetrotting adventures as well!) Anything from a murder mystery to missionfic to an exciting pulp adventure with ghosts or ray guns would be delightful.
Feel free to have von Stalhein show up, as the main antagonist or as an ally or an ally who betrays them, whatever is fun for you! I enjoy him working against them just as much as having him work with them, so feel free to do either, or a mix of both.
I love h/c and would be very happy if someone gets hurt - especially Biggles, Algy, or von Stalhein - but you don't have to.
(All characters do not have to be featured equally. It's fine to, for example, focus on Algy undercover and the others around that, or whatever you like. I'm also perfectly happy with Biggles investigating something on his own, with or without the others around.)
James Bigglesworth & Erich von Stalhein
James Bigglesworth/Erich von Stalhein
I would really enjoy the two of them working together - or against each other! - on a case. Other characters from the team, Raymond, Marcel, etc are welcome to appear. Maybe EvS is doing some kind of investigation on his own in the post-Hatchet era and Biggles finds out about it and wants to help? Or EvS is actually working with their team and he and Biggles are in the field together, or one of them is undercover with the other as his contact/handler, or similar? Perhaps EvS is accused of a crime he didn't commit and Biggles (&co) have to clear his name. You could also set it in an earlier era; perhaps a Flies East AU in which they have to work together after they discover a murder in the camp possibly unrelated to either of their side activities, or EvS needs Biggles's help for something involving his sister and nephew, or they end up working together on some matter involving both their countries or a diplomatic situation in which they're both involved? Or they could be directly working against each other in a canon-typical situation with Erich as the opposition; that's fun too!
Tropey, fun undercover situations are completely fine, for this or the other part of the request - undercover as a couple, coffee shop, sex club, whatever. I also enjoy EvS's tendency towards being a master of (implausible) disguises, so that is a delightful bonus too!
Babylon 5
Solo: Michael Garibaldi
Garibaldi (+ his security forces, or later as part of the Alliance intelligence network) investigating something on the station? I would really enjoy something that feels like an early season episode (though it can be set in any era, of course!) with some kind of investigation or mystery going on. A rash of minor burglaries on the Zócalo, something valuable is stolen or smuggled, a diplomat turns up dead, maybe something higher-stakes like a bomb on the station. I would enjoy having any of the other characters turn up in the course of the investigation, help out, get in the way, etc. I'm also delighted with h/c if you like that (but of course no need to feel like you have to shoehorn it in). I also enjoy the lighter side of the show and would be just as happy with an investigation of some insanely dumb crime that Garibaldi can't believe is even his problem, as much as with a serious investigation of a murder or similar.
G'Kar & Londo Mollari
G'Kar/Londo Mollari
Vir Cotto & Londo Mollari
Anything caseficcy would be fun - Londo and G'Kar reluctantly (or not so reluctantly, depending on the era of the show) teaming up to resolve some mystery or murder involving one or both of their worlds and/or the local Narn and Centauri population on B5? Looking into something separately, only to have their two investigations collide? Investigating a murder or mystery in the Centauri court or on B5 while G'Kar is Londo's bodyguard?
For Vir and Londo - maybe they're having to deal with some kind of mystery involving the diplomats, or on Centauri Prime? Maybe some sort of heist has to be pulled off to obtain a cultural artifact or similar? The Centauri government sends them on a mission to do with the Narn war, the Alliance, or similar?
Any level of seriousness is once again fine for any of these - from something light or funny (like Londo and G'Kar stealing each other's religious icons in season one; maybe someone hosts a murder mystery party, or an important cultural artifact goes missing) to a serious and angsty plot involving a murder mystery or missionfic - would honestly love to see Londo sent on some kind of mission for the Centauri, even somewhere off B5 (maybe with G'Kar as his bodyguard, or Vir along for support and aid) - or a theft/heist, breaking someone out of prison like Londo and G'Kar do with Na'Toth in canon, accused of a crime they didn't commit & the other has to work to clear his name, undercover in some insanely tropey situation (as a couple, sex club, coffee shop, etc), Londo and G'Kar telling their own separate versions of events Rashomon-style to an exasperated station commander, perhaps Vir getting involved with a mystery while stationed on Minbar and deciding to call in Londo for help? The possibilities are many!
I would be fine with stretching the timeline or going a bit AU from canon events to make it work, and other characters are of course welcome to appear!
I love h/c and if someone gets hurt, that's totally icing on the cake for me, but you definitely don't need to.
Solo: Alfred Bester
It would be a lot of fun to see a Bester case on B5 from his POV. What does he think about everyone? Is he reluctantly fond of them or just waiting to see them lose? Does he enjoy their team-ups? Are there various shenanigans going on involving him that they and we never see? Or feel free to explore a caseficcy Psi Corps plot going on somewhere else, on Mars, or on an Earth colony. Or even Bester being loaned out to another agency - does he ever do non-Psi Corps jobs, or work with Earth's allies before Earth started cutting off contact with aliens?
I am perfectly happy with any characterization ranging from straight-up antagonist to getting to see a softer or more sympathetic side of him that the B5 characters generally don't. I love it when he teams up with them, I also love him working against them (or both!), and h/c is lovely if you want to include it, but of course you don't have to. Going AU from canon events is also fine if you want to do that; maybe one of the canon cases turns out differently, etc.
