Yuletide letter

meteordustDear Yuletide Writer,
Thank you so much for offering to write a story for me! This year, all of my requests are super obscure - as far as I know, none of them has any fanfic yet - so I'm thrilled that someone is actually willing to write in these universes.
All my prompts are just ideas for inspiration, so please don't feel constrained to follow them. Write what sparks your own imagination.
What I care about most are the characters and their interactions. I'm not a stickler about canonical details, as long as the personalities and dynamics ring true. I want to see these people running around and being themselves and bouncing off each other. Possibilities include adventures that might have been or the moments we don't get to see. But what I'm really hoping for is something that captures the spirit of the original.
I'm a slash fan, but I also enjoy het and gen. Any rating is fine. Note that for one of the fandoms I've requested, I only want gen; for the rest of them, feel free to go wild. However, I'm much more interested in story than PWPs.
I'm an optimist at heart, and I'm not keen on anything that is brutally violent or depressingly bleak. However, I don't mind darkness as long as there is a glimmer of light.
I hope this is of some help to you. Have fun writing the story! I can't wait to read it.
Yours sincerely,

Request 1
Fandom: Dragon Voice by Yuriko Nishiyama
Characters: Kunihiko Hibiki, Sara Amami, Soh Kondoh
Details: I'm really intrigued by the past these three characters have together, especially given that they eventually move onto three very different paths. I would love to see a story about what it was like back in the day in the band, or what happened to them when it broke up, or an AU where Sara is still alive. I don't mind if you want to feature the Beatmen or anyone else in the story, as long as a significant part of it is about these three. I realise that the final volume of this series has not been published in English, so I'm fine with only including canon up till then. I'm also fine with gen, het, or slash, of any rating.
Resources: Advanced Book Exchange has copies of Volumes 1 to 10 for sale. The series is technically out of print in English, ever since Tokyopop dropped the licence. Scanlations up to Volume 4 used to be available at Dragon Voice, but they were discontinued after the series was licensed.
***
Request 2
Fandom: Falcon by Mark Smith and Jamie Thomson
Characters: Agidy Yelov, Falcon
Details: I've always been fascinated by Yelov and the complicated relationship Falcon has with him - once chief and subordinate, now renegade and enforcer. I'd love to see any story where they interact, whether Falcon is working with him, or hunting him down, or having a doomed torrid affair with him. I also like the interactions between Falcon and the other Special Agents, so I'd be interested in anything from dramatic joint missions to the office Christmas party. I'm not that fussed about continuity, given it's a gamebook series, and I like alternate universes too. I'm fine with gen, het, or slash, of any rating. (Incidentally, in my head, I think of Falcon as male, but gender ambiguity is also cool!)
Resources: Falcon at Demian's Gamebook Web Page contains brief information about the series. PDFs of the books used to be available for download at Home of the Underdogs, but not anymore, although copies of the archive seem to float around on filesharing sites.
***
Request 3
Fandom: RPF - Australian Radio
Characters: John Safran, Father Bob
Details: Gen only please! My dream story would be about John finally building that golem he keeps talking about - and hijinks ensue! But anything where John and Bob get to bounce off each other in their unique way would be great, whether it's a missing episode of the show, or a glimpse behind the scenes, or a slice of life outside of it. Or maybe this could be an opportunity to do something beyond the boundaries of real life, like interviewing Charles Darwin, time travelling back to the Garden of Eden, or fighting the zombie apocalypse.
Resources: Sunday Night Safran is the official website for the radio show, and includes downloadable podcasts.
