X-Files Collector's Edition: Little Samantha's Life in Capture

According to Sein und Zeit and Closure, Samantha lived for years as a captive on a military base, the little gerbil of the CSM and the unremembered sister of Jeffrey Spender. How did those years pass for her? These short fics are some guesses.

Loose chronological order below~

pokeitlikejello's

The Drabble Files - Chapter 3

""As Samantha watches the neighborhood, eyes following a stray cat, she begins to feel a sudden sadness, a loneliness, a loss. Because as she remains awake to combat the nightmares, she knows, really knows, that this neighborhood is not her neighborhood and this home is not her home.""

Samantha wakes after her return from being abducted... only to find herself captured.

The Drabble Files - Chapter 13

""Her “father’s” word was final. There was nothing he could do, there was no where she could hide, so she would have to go back. She would go back.

Samantha dissolves into tears that she'll never go "back"; but she refuses to give up.

The Drabble Files - Chapter 38

""Despite the fact that she was told they gave her up. That they didn't want her anymore. She's not sure if she believes them. But the experiments mess with her brain, with her memory, and she knows she needs to find her family before she forgets.

They want to break her.""

Samantha bides her time, waiting for escape.

The Drabble Files - Chapter 23

""But then, it came. Short. A plain note card. No return address.

Thinking of you.

Months later. Another.

She’s fine.""

CSM decides to keep Tena in the loop, stringing her along with "maybe soon" notes about her daughter.

heartequals/savvygambol's (DreamWidth) She Stops Believing

""A half-memory, like her dreams, hits her all of a sudden. It is something her brother says, but the face of her brother does not match the face of Jeff's. Her brother is not Jeff, no, not Jeff, never Jeff. She stares at him. Experimentally, and with great fear, she says, “You're not my brother.""

Samantha stops mid-sandwich when she realizes Jeffrey isn't her brother. She then soothes shaken little Jeff.

@wendelah/wendelah1/avesuvianface's (Gossamer, Live Journal)

The New Girl (The Other Family Remix)

""Jeffrey, stop playing with your food," his father said sharply.

"If she doesn't have to eat, I'm not going to," Jeffrey announced. Mrs. Houston's mashed potatoes came from a box and he hated them. He hated her, too. His mother made them with real potatoes. She let him help peel them. Maybe that was before she got sick, though. He couldn't remember.""

Jeffrey doesn't believe Samantha is his sister; and his frustrations are compounded by CSM harshly shutting down all inquiries.

Enjoy!

November 2023 New Works Round Up

Hello everyone, I'm a day late due to the mortifying ordeal, but I'm here with a round up post! We have 3 new works this month in the collection, including a WIP that is currently being updated!

AO3 | All works | Ask box

New works, in no particular order (link in title):

I still need you there beside me, no matter what I do by Anonymous | St. Louis Cardinals | Steve Carlton/Tim McCarver

Left-handed pitchers are their own special breed of crazy. Catchers are their own special breed of crazy. It's a long, long road.

Luck be a Ballplayer by powderblu (bluspirits) | Philadelphia Phillies | Alex Bohm/Brandon Marsh

Alec isn't sure this counts as "just normal roommate things", but he doesn't exactly want Marshy to stop, so he keeps his mouth shut.

Superbloom by heartequals (savvygambols) | San Francisco Giants | Blake Sabol/Casey Schmitt

Casey wraps an arm around Blake’s neck while Blake’s distracted by Yas. Blake flails. Casey pulls him down to his chest. “Me and some of the guys were going out after the game,” he hisses in his ear. “Come out with me.”

The next round-up post will be posted sometime on Sunday, December 10 (unless I get caught up in stupid work bullshit again in which case we may be a day late), so if you need a new deadline, aim for the North American morning of December 10.

Under the cut: November Challenges for readers and creators + 3 questions for creators (for your WIPs or completed works) and a hot sidequest for everyone!

November Challenge for Readers: Before the December post, leave comments on FOUR works from the past two months, if you haven't left comments yet!

November Challenge for Creators: Before the December post do the following:

Writers, add THREE sentences on your work every day.

Artists, spend FIVE MINUTES on your work every day 

Podfic? Five minutes of editing or ten minutes of recording every other day. Something else I’m not thinking of? Adjust accordingly to your medium.

3 Creator Questions: Answer in the notes, on your blog, or in the ask box!

Who was/is your favorite character to work on in (one of) your works you posted so far?

What's a line that didn't make it into the final cut that you really really wanted to include?

Would you trust the players in your work with the aux cord?

November Sidequest for Everybody: Make a rec post on tumblr of at least two works you particularly enjoyed from the challenge so far and include at least one line on why you liked them.

That's it for this month, folks! I'll be back on December 10. Remember that to create art is to push back the forces of darkness that threaten to destroy us (Manfred's nonsense), drink water, and leave comments!

As always, ask box is open and anon is on. I can also be reached at rpfisfine@/gmail.com 🌞

What You Deserve by puckingtrash (imafriendlydalek)

The world is you and me by heartequals (savvygambols)

Looking Through You by nordalanche

[dartducks]

Talk Hockey to Me

Thank you sm for tagging me @mikathemad

(Forgive any mistakes in this am on my phone in bed rn)

1. The thing that got you hooked on hockey

Uhh I decided last year that it would be cool to have a sport that I was into and someone on my dash reblogged hockey so I checked it out (the fic before any actual games lol) and I was set

2. Your first ever fandom friend

Taxi Squad are the first mutuals I've had for any fandom in a long time, its been very fun :D

3. The jersey you would most want to own

Any Strome Capitals jersey tbh but in particular the cherry blossom jersey they did last year was super pretty. I'm waiting to see what this year's jersey designs are going to be like

4. YOUR player

Dylan Strome!! My boy!! He's got a home on the caps and he's happy and thriving which is so good to see.

5. A pairing that deserves more fic

I read this really good stromer/conor garland fic once which I loved so much and am obsessed with despite the fact that there are two fics total and they haven't been teammates for years. Whoops.

But also another pairing I love is rooperobo. There should be more of that. Please.

6. Your favourite on ice moment

Hartzy flopping onto spurge after a goal. The celly of all time. I can't believe they recalled that goal, on pride night too!

Also, that one goal by robo where he was just so tired and immediately fell over, slid into the boards and just laid there.

THEN

link somebody else's art/fic/ect that you love & think everyone should check out

"the best things are designed to stand the test of time" by beingothrwrldly is the dylan strome/conor garland one that I adore

And a roboroope one I love is "Get A Read On Me" by heartequals

I haven't written any hockey fic so there's nothing from me to add here lmao

As for the taglist, this is open to whoever wants to do it <3

[standstillgo]

the thing is…

[Gift for @heartequals ‘s (@birdcage) for @dailyspiritassassin!! Her prompts were fairly open-ended but a poem she provided inspired me. It is called “The Thing Is” by Ellen Bass for which I’ve linked just in case you can’t read my crappy handwriting! This somehow turned into more of a study into Chirrut’s side of grief - the poem just read that way to me. I am HOPING this comic comes across as “my city is ruined, my husband is always gone doing force knows what to make money, I can barely help the orphaned children around here, and I am tired - but Baze makes life worth living/fighting for” (I mean, sure, there’s the force and Jedha City itself all that but this was THE SPIRITASSASSIN EXCHANGE after all!) I hope it was what you were looking for!]

when i tell you i was curled up in bed muffling my laughter: top to the bottom, just cool by heartequals (makar/leonard; college/boba au; 6.5k), a completely improbable rare pair to have inspired such delightful nonsense. 

[puckingawesomerecs]

this home is your home too by heartequals

miro heiskanen/roope hintz (stars) | 2k | general

If Esa did not want Roope and Miro to come over unannounced, he should not have given Roope a key and a free pass to his garden.

rec comments: a new pairing for the blog! this a short read, but a great one. the lore was easy to understand, and miro and roope are so cute together, especially miro’s subtle flirting. plus bonus background klinger/esa!

read on ao3

[grittyreadsfic]

this fic where roope takes jason clothes shopping by heartequals is perfect tbh (and the podfic slaps)

[nny11writes]

can you do a fic rec for family oriented tcw fics? I feel like I've read everything lol

Hey anon, thanks for stopping by! I can certainly try, but I’m not sure exactly what you mean by family oriented. Just, like, generally across the genres Imma try. But I will say as I was doing this, several of these are not strictly TCWs. Some are actually outside that completely but still include the main trio and Padme as major characters so I’ve put them in here in case you’d like to give them a whirl.

My absolute #1 suggestion for under appreciated family fics:“Where I’ve Always Been” series by Gabby (Kirahsoka) 

It’s not clone wars exclusive, it does build from TCW’s forwards and is both a barrissoka fic and semi-medieval AU. But you wanna talk family oriented? This series is THE BEST FUCKING THING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone comes together and there’s a constant focus on family first. Gabby does a great job at address the ups and downs of family, and always writes relationships that are either A. Healthy as Fuck and Beautiful, or B. Unhealthy With Everyone Involved Trying. I love this series. I could probably write a whole fucking long ass post about this series lol! It’s got god damned everything, Luminara is amazing, Obi-Wan is fantastic, the original characters I would die for. The thing that might be lacking for you in here is there isn’t a lot of Padme or Anakin. There’s more Anakin than Padme, but he’s really not a main character of this series. Ahsoka, Barriss, and their daughters really become the focal point but I’m not lying when I say basically everyone fucking shows up to this one. It’s amazing and I beg you to give it the chance it deserves, it’s SUPRA, and you will understand what the hell I mean when you get in deep enough lol!

Also straight up, up front, Mylordshesacactus and alexkablob have both written some fantastic barrissoka fics that often also have a focus on family (looking at you Brave AU and Beauty and the Beast AU). If you haven’t looked at their stuff, and don’t mind the barrissoka, I think their works are fantastic!

NOW ONTO THE REST OF THE RECS

“Stuck in the Middle With You” by victoria_p (musesfool)  is a fucking delight of the trio having to share a bed platonicly (or however that’s spelled ig??). It’s got great humor and the way the three of them are just so well written is excellent. I love re-reading this one!

"Sometimes a family is a cultural anthropologist, a PoliSci PhD, a snippy sophomore, a golden cat, a Snorkie, and a guy who just wants to build a really smart robot” by all these lovelies: bessyboo, cantarina, exmanhater, forzandopod, heartequals (savvygambols), Opalsong, reena_jenkins, sophinisba, theleanansidhe!!! This is actually a pod fic/audio book, but I have trouble listening to stories so I am SO glad they included a transcript. This shit is gold! It’s sweet, it’s funny, it’s ridiculous. Anakin and Ahsoka run a youtube channel for “Waffle or Waffle Not!” where they pour various things into a waffle iron to see what works. Padme and Obi-Wan show up too, as it is obianidala. I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love this fic and the dynamics between everyone.

“The Living Force” by mathelode (engmaresh) is quick look at Anakin teaching Ahsoka how to choose insects and bugs to eat. There’s some crude humor (barf jokes mostly) but I do like the way Anakin and Ahsoka interact!

“Of Love and Family” by Ferith12 is exactly what is says on the tin. All about Ahsoka and the family she finds along the way.

“Saw The Waves But Not The Tides” by Meiloorun  is a bit dialogue heavy but focuses on Anakin and Rex talking about war and family when they get a transmission from Mandalore. It’s a really nice fic to me, feels cozy!

“Little One” by Fawkes_Rinzler  is a great Plo Koon & Ahsoka Tano fic about sharing a language together. They’re family and this is the hill I will DIE ON.

Parts 3-5 of the “Pesky Birthday Gifts” by peskylilcritterare short and sweet little slice of life fics that aren’t explicitly family oriented but I read then that way. It’s totally possible the rest of the series is great too, I just haven’t had as much interest to read them/look at them (some of it is fan art I think).

I know this is not a TCW only fic recs, but! I swear my stand by these days, “Of Queens, Knights, and Pawns” and “Shifting Sands” are both fantastic Leia centered fics by chancecraz! There’s a lot of focus on what makes family, and family relationships/importance in both of them so I’d highly recommend them. They are VERY long, and there is plenty of drama and angst inside so it’s not family in that fluffy happy fam way all the time. Vader, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka are all major players, as is Rex. But it /is/ more OG and Rebels than TCW. Still I’d say give them a read!

The “Jedi Shmi AU” series by MirandaTam covers more than just TCW, but a lot of it does take place during that time frame. There’s some great Tatooine culture building in the series and I really love the way the characters are imagined in this AU. “Shwiya Root Soap” by sharkcar is a great look at the dynamic between Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, and Padme. It’s a relaxed feeling fic to me. No high angst drama, and a lot of really nice long hold points with characters working through a lot. There’s still some action and romance etc, so it’s not sedate. A well balanced one I think! It is 1st person PoV which I know can throw some folks off but I think it’s fantastic.“The Light You Leave Behind” by laventadorn is a post Ahsoka leaving the order fic, and did in large part plant the seeds of Padme Says No, which exploded after I saw a post here on tumblr that was *mwah*. It is unfinished with the last update in 2016, I still rec it! It’s got a good mix of things going on genre wise, and I love the way Padme was written in this one.

The whole “b sides (SW lawyer AU)” by triviaseesaw (ladydaredevil)  kicks ASS. It is a daredevil AU but you don’t have to know anything about that to enjoy it. I also really like that this one is multiple SW fandom friendly. There are stories focusing on prequels, og, and sequels, as well as the animated series but you can sort of pick and choose which ones you want to actually follow. There’s fluff, drama, angst, the whole nine yards dude. There’s a lot of focus on what is family and how to connect with one another. It is vaderkin status tho so just a heads up!Okay, look, “good opinion once lost”  also by triviaseesaw (ladydaredevil) isn’t completely a family oriented fic, it is a barrissoka fic. But there is still family stuff involved! It is a Pride and Prejudice AU, and while I will admit I never got into P&P, I love this story and I had to rec it

Alright, I need to just rec all of triviaseesaw (ladydaredevil)’s stuff. While some of it is more romance focused, almost everything still includes a good cast of people in really unique and fun AU’s and settings. This is probably not what you’re look for but I realized I was gonna rec more of their work and so here’s the link.“all the words you do not speak” listed via orphan_account, is not a happy family fic. It is hurt/comfort post Rako Hardeen, but it focuses on the Trio and their bonds so I think it would still work out.

The “Circle ‘round the Sun” by risinggreatness is one that I remember loving. I went nuts every time I saw that series name pop up in my emails as updated. But I will also be honest, it’s got so many entries that it’s all become a mush of “oh HELL yeah” in my head. Like, I wanna go feral over the characters and relations but I can’t explain why. I do know that it deals across a lot of times and relationships which is part of why I liked it, but it is focused on TCW.

One of the very best things about STAR WARS fandom is that there’s so much variety here that I never seem to get bored, that there’s always something for almost everyone to pick up and read! Whether I want to read about the Jedi or the clones or the Empire being fought back against or character pieces on the space twins or continue my love for the Solo characters or continue to cry about the Rebels crew or to capitalize on the potential of the still-unfolding sequels, Star Wars fandom is going to give me something and it’s going to be fantastic. This list of recs will hopefully give you something to read, whether you want massive time travel (maybe) fix it or delicious more character-focused stuff or just some straight up kissing fic or something that will give you feelings or whatever, there should be at least one thing you’ll like! Because Star Wars fandom is excellent for spreading that love around!
