The Halloween update is my favorite part of TF2. It's not every day I get to run around as a giant Russian man in a tutu and fight zombies, dead wizards or my comrade's eye. Something in the vein of that, or a coda to one of the Halloween updates.
For treat ides, I love the ridiculous violent friendship between the whole mercenary group. For Tricks, there's a wealth of ideas with mythology and folklore for something supernatural---even more so for Demoman with his history with Merasmus.
As for pairings, I really like RED Scout/Miss Pauling, Spy/Scoutma and Heavy/Medic, though pairing any of them isn't remotely necessary if you don't care for them. I would rather they not be paired up with other people, however.
I also like Demoman/Soldier and Soldier/Zhanna (OT3 is also cool) and crackship Demoman/Heavy's sisters, though I don't mind these being paired with other people.
How I Met Your Mother
The running gags of Halloween were always really funny, from Ted's repeated costume, to Marshall and Lily's themed costumes. Bring Barney and Robin's competitiveness and pranks into it, and would there be a costume off? Would Marshall and Lily have to fight for their crown past the sweetness of Ted and Tracy's sweet matches, and Barney and Robin's desire to win?
Also, child costumes! How does the gang's first trick or treating with the kids go? Is it Star Wars themed?
No canon finale, please. (Though the alternate ending of Tracy lives and Barney and Robin break up but will get back together is acceptable, as is going from The End of the Aisle and skipping Last Page canon). I'd like as little Ted/Robin as is possible. The finale was enough of a trick, so I'd rather treats with this particular fandom (unless tricks are pranking, or something fun that does not involve death and divorce).
Pokemon
For treats, what about trainers dressing up in costumes to match their Pokemon? Something lighthearted and cute that plays up how much the Pokemon mean to their trainers.
For tricks, there's always the creepier aspects of Pokemon, like Giratina. Here's a link of some creepy Pokedex entries for inspiration: http://www.dorkly.com/post/55702/the-15-most-disturbing-pokedex-entries
I haven't played Hoenn and I've not finished XY yet, so sticking to B&W, DPP, G&S or the original is preferred. As for pairs:
Cynthia/older!Dawn
Barry/Lucas
N/Hilda or Hilbert
Cheren/Hilda or Hilbert
Bianca/Hilda or Hilbert or Iris or Juniper or Cheren
Lyra/any of the kimono girls
