Young Wizards - Diane Duane 

Kit Rodriguez, Nita Callahan

I just really want something light and lovely and fluffy, and if you don't ship these two it's fine (and an OT3+ with them once everyone's older? sign me the fuuuuck up), but mostly I'm just interested in wizardry and shenanigans and maybe the pitfalls (and perks) of dating your best friend who is also your wizardry partner.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl 

Just campy comics goodness. I adore Squirrel Girl and love how they've done the latest version of her. If you're feeling all holiday-y, sure, go for it. Do she and Nancy do two thanksgivings, since Doreen is Canadian? Does Doreen wear her tail out and a crappy squirrel girl costume for Halloween? Are they invited to the Avenger's gift exchange? I love it I need it. Or just comic adventures with all and sundry, whatever floats your four-color boat.

Mother of the Crows - Seanan McGuire (Song) 

Halloween (in all its permutations) is my favorite holiday for so many reasons. Go wild, I'm giving you free reign on this one. If this song pings you at all, for a myth, an untold legend, a ghost story in the corn, do it. On this one (and this one only) I'm even saying that the general Nope List (while still something to think about) is something you can indeed flout here. Go for it. You have permission.
