Stan catches Philip
Date: 2014-02-18 02:28 pm (UTC)This is one I wanted to write at some point, but just couldn't.
Prompt/Request: Stan catches Philip
Characters: Stan&Philip, and any other char that fits.
I Would Like: I'd like Stan's reaction when he realizes his friend Philip is the guy he's been hunting all this time, and starts wondering what parts of it were real, if at all.
I Don't Want: anything sexual
1980 Olympics boycott
Date: 2014-02-18 03:04 pm (UTC)Prompt/Request: Elizabeth and Philip before the 1980 Olympics.
Characters: Elizabeth and Philip (and any other char that fits)
I Would Like: Anything around that time. They might be given a mission to prevent the boycott from going through, or to verify whether the Americans are really serious. Or just seeing what both of them feel about it.
I Don't Want: Nothing comes to mind

Date: 2014-02-19 10:49 pm (UTC)Henry jumped from the couched, decked out in red, white, and blue, and screamed at the top of his lungs in excitement. “WE WON! WE WON!” he screamed and Philip cheered with him while Paige rolled her eyes and covered her ears. Elizabeth half forced a smile and gestured for Henry to calm down, but she gave him a genuine hug of happiness. It was almost worth the loss to see her son so happy.
The win was all the kids talked about. Henry slaughtered his way through Russian surnames and Paige giggled about how stunned the Soviets had looked. Elizabeth pushed her son towards the bathroom to brush his teeth that night, reminding him that the Soviets still had a chance to medal and the teams had both played very well.
When she walked into her bedroom she found Philip sitting on his side of the bed, hands curled into fists in his hair. “Philip?” she asked and put a hand on his shoulder. His muscles were clenched tightly and she rubbed his shoulder automatically. “The loss?”
“How could we lose?” he whispered hoarsely. “How am I going to pretend to be so happy about this at work?”
Normally she felt indifferent to hockey, but this time she felt the loss just as strongly. She pulled him into a hug like she did when for Henry when his youth team lost and kissed his temple.
She could have been mistaken, but the next time orders came in from the center, Philip seemed especially eager and enthusiastic about it, as if this mission could counteract the loss of a gold medal.

Date: 2014-02-19 11:48 pm (UTC)(I watched Miracle with my mom and later got an autograph from Jim Craig and a photo op with him. My mom was on the edge of her seat for the game in the film, despite having watched it back when it happened. We were both cheering and excited until I saw the sad Soviets and then she was the only one cheering. Those poor guys looked like they'd just watched a pet die.)

Date: 2014-02-19 12:18 am (UTC)Characters: The Jennings four

Re: Vid of happy Jennings and P/E moments
Date: 2014-04-10 12:32 pm (UTC)And I needed a feel-good clip myself ;-)
no subject
Date: 2014-02-19 05:19 pm (UTC)More detailed prompt: Henrickson had imagined the conference about Paige Jennings would be easy. What he hadn't imagined was that Mrs. Jennings obviously thought he was an idiot.
no subject
Date: 2014-02-20 10:42 pm (UTC)Fic prompts from there, s'il vous plait. :)
My 3 stories
Date: 2014-02-22 08:25 pm (UTC)Prompt/Request: Philip/Elisabeth are arrested long after Cold War ended and they were decommissioned because somebody in Moscow stole old documents and sold it to press or some American agency got theirs fingers on it somehow. They would know they were agents, but nothing else (i.e. they do not have the actual information about operations, killings and so on.)
Characters: Philip, Elisabeth, Henry, Paige, boyfriends, girlfriends
I Would Like: Somewhat toned down story in the sense: yes, okay, they did it, but it was so long ago and nobody living remembers anything anymore, it even does not metter anymore, so we know you did it but we are not going to do anything about it other that let you know and maybe kick you little.
I Don't Want: Treacherous behavior.
------------
Prompt/Request: The killing of Martha. Everybody knows that Martha must die. She is living on borrowed time. So what happens when her usefulness expire?
Characters: Martha, Jennings
I Would Like: Drama, bittersweet death
I Don't Want: That Martha would actually survive.
------------
Prompt/Request: When watching the last episode of 1. season I was thinking that Stan should hit Philip. Or more likely that the probability would be in favor to hitting Philip and not Elisabeth.
Characters: Stan, Philip, Elisabeth
I Would Like: Death scene, aftermath
I Don't Want: I am open to ideas.
2x01 prompt
Date: 2014-02-28 05:41 am (UTC)Characters: Elizabeth and Philip and other sleepers
I Would Like: When and how did they meet? Did they hit it off immediately?
I Don't Want: Nothing comes to mind
2x01 missing scene
Date: 2014-02-28 06:08 am (UTC)Characters: Elizabeth and Philip
I Would Like: To see what we missed :-) I can see them having so much to talk about and business and private life and everything, and not too much time.
I Don't Want: sexual fic
Eye color
Date: 2014-04-16 09:06 am (UTC)Prompt/Request: The question comes up, either from the kids or nosy strangers.
Characters: Any
I Would Like: Some sort of explanation.
I Don't Want: Nothing comes to mind.
no subject
Date: 2014-05-26 02:57 am (UTC)Characters: Harry, Philip, Elizabeth
Basic summary: In 1981, the Jennings family are touring England, ostensibly as it was the off-season and Philip said it was the only time he could score first-class tickets for almost sixty percent off. (In reality, Zhukov wants to meet them secretly and do it in a way that doesn't trigger US INS flags)
In some believable way, they become crucial intermediaries in getting Harry placed with a British illegal family. Unbeknownst to the Center, they've been having trouble conceiving and Harry's presence would be very convenient all round: The Dursleys rid themselves of a baby they never wanted, and the Brits get a child they can train up for "the cause". Philip and Elizabeth get to see more than London, while Paige and Henry are mystified at the sudden willingness of their parents to leave them in their hotel room for 12 hours.
