AUs changing events are great, but please keep the basic setting as Harmony and/or the night clubs.

DNW: Death of named character, graphic violence
I'm a great fan of Sir Matthew Bourne's work and saw the very first performance of this work. I'd be very happy to receive anything you write for any of the named characters. Also, if any of the action takes place inside The Midnight Bell, other characters are welcome in the background.
Possible prompts:
Christmas preparations and/or Christmas dreams
