Night at the Grand Regent Hotel

{read on Ao3}

summary: During a mission to the Core planet of Lanz Carpo, Han and Leia unintentionally pose as a newlywed couple after Leia's ex-boyfriend, Dar Champion, treats them to a free stay at the Grand Regent Hotel. Little do they know that the honeymoon suite comes with special perks that will make their cover all too real…

I've been really bad about this but as sweet @athenasparrow and @charmsandtealeaves (yes you too) have taught me it's good to celebrate things (yup dear I tagged you in here also so I wouldn't have zero response - this way I'm safe ;-)

So here goes in order to celebrate this story being almost (and this time for real!!) finished with only the epilogue to go I want to play a game (trick or treat if you will since it's almost the 31st!! )

Next chapter is unsurprisingly Petunia's wedding day, including a short George Evans POV (as requested in the poll ) Send me a word and if it's in the last chapter I'll give you the sentence. Or

Send me a scene /scenario you wish/think might happen and I'll give you a yes/no answer. I plan to be able to edit the last chapter and answer around the 31st of October (gives us all something more fun to think about right ;-)

The Giveaway!

First and foremost, thank you so, SO much to everyone for your incredibly kind words of support and love. It really means the world to me -- you all mean the world to me ❤️❤️

Now, as I said in the original post here... today is the big day, The Draw, etc etc etc. I've collected the names and URLs of everyone who interacted with the celebration post (except for that one porn bot, sorry hun) and now it's time for me to spin the wheel and randomly choose my three winners. Are you excited? I am VERY excited 🤩 :DDD

In just a few minutes time, I'm going to spin this wheel, and then I'll be sliding into the DMs of my three winners 🤭💗 But just before I do that, I wanted to say again to everyone, and from the bottom of my heart - thank you so, so much for making this possible, truly ❤️ I love and appreciate all of you so much more than I can possibly say. Thank you, thank you, thank you - and I can't wait to give something back to you!! <33333

[ohhcinnybuns]

To the readers who have interacted with KE (whether reading, commenting, or dropping kudos), I hope you know that I wish you clear skin for the next year, sweet dreams every night, and lots of furry cuddles your way. Thank you for the heaping 100 kudos on my first fic. You rock!

My main fic has 901 hits right now. I'm at chapter 9, 14,000 words posted. I definitely have to write chapter 11 before I post 10 so that I can do a 1,000 hits post

[neonganymede]

Thank you for your tags of support and celebration, I wanted to like it x100! (but refrained) 💜🙏

Aaaahhhh no need to thank me! I've been sooo excited to read it since I first read your summary ;-; expect to find me screaming in your comments once I actually have time to read fic again!

The Power of DPxDC

There has been a lot of anti-DPxDC sentiment going around lately; if you haven't heard about it, then don't worry about it. This isn't a post about the negativity, this is a post celebrating how much we've done as a crossover fandom!

Just as a bit of perspective, I've been reading fics from DPxDC since 2020. Now that might not seem like a long time ago, but back then we didn't even have 100 fics for the crossover as a whole, and look at us now! This is a screenshot from Ao3 just today:

Incredible, isn't it? Look how much we've grown and contributed and shared! And that's not even mentioning all the wonderful Tumblr prompts and posts and incredible fanart. DPxDC has us in a chokehold and it isn't about to let go any time soon.

I know it can be a little disheartening to see all the people trying to drag us down. I know I've been left disappointed in some cases, but I also know that my love for the crossover hasn't abated at all, and I hope it stays that way with you all too!

There is so much engagement in this crossover, I cannot tell you enough how much you all have spoiled me with comments and kudos and fanart. A lot of my fandom friends like to tease me for writing so much, but I don't think I could have written half of those fics had it not been for people like you loving them as much as you do.

Passion is the lifeblood of this fandom, of every fandom! And I don't see that going away any time soon for DPxDC.

I know I want to comment and kudos more. I read a lot of fics, but I don't sign in often so that you can see me leaving that kudos, and it's been more and more apparent to me how many people don't realize how much I adore their writing. I'm hoping to fix that!

Some might say that we don't tag our work appropriately, and while that might be true in some cases, I cannot stress enough just how good of a job we're doing. @tourettesdog made a wonderful post not too long ago about tagging, and we do clean work! Not even a full 3% of all the tags they'd seen included a "main" tag, which has been the frustration for most. 3%? That's incredible!

You all deserve some appreciation for the hard work y'all do, and this is it! I hope you all know how well you've fed creators, readers, and fans like me! Don't let up, because we do amazing work. And that deserves to be celebrated.

So the new DRDT episode is right around the corner! And what better way to celebrate this joyous occasion than with a DRDT event?!

Behold! My Magnum Opus!

THE 10 DAYS OF DRDT! (Almost like the 12 days of Christmas hehehe)

More info under cut!

Future Kat: I forgot to add edits to this list ;-;

This event is supposed to get out gears turning and our excitement for the new episode blown out of proportions! So when it DOES drop, we're full of pure joy! And the event ends the day before the new drdt episode drops :3

Unlike some events where it's only drawing or writing (which i suck at both ;-;) this one's a little more open!

Fanfiction Writing: Make 10 one shots! Long, short, shit posts, angsty, go on! Your limit is your imagination!

Edit Making! Make 10 edits! As long or short as you'd wish!

Headcanon Writing! Make 100 headcanons! 10 a day! If you can't write stories, headcanons are perfect!

Fanfiction Reading! Read as many fanfictions as you can every day! Leave likes or kudos and comments as well! :D

Drawing/Doodling! Make 10 doodles/drawings! 1 a day! They can be Mona Lisa worthy or just 5 minute doodles you made during lunch! :D

- But wait! I don't have any idea of what to do! I'm fresh out of ideas!

Don't fret! If you'd prefer prompts for these things, I have some!

(These ones are more centered towards writing/drawing, but it'd work for edits as well!)

And if you want to focus headcanons on specific characters, here's a list!

You can choose between either of the characters! (I spinned a wheel to pick the side cast characters).

The tag for this event is #10daysofdrdt on any social media site! [Though I personally only use Discord, tumblr, and Ao3 , if you post is on somewhere else, dm me the link so I can see it!!]

If you post on tumblr, tag either this blog or @kat-the-milgram-fan so I can easily see it!!! :DDD

Now that's all been said, ENJOY AND HAPPY 11 DAYS UNTIL DRDT!

Readers' Choice Rec List Part 1 of 7

To celebrate 500 followers we thought we'd do a special rec list featuring recs submitted by all of you, the readers ❤️ Though at the time of posting this, we're at 800+ followers 🥺 From the volunteers and I, thank you for supporting this blog. We hope it's been a helpful resource! Hope you enjoy these recs, with a little comment from the reader. Thank you to everyone who submitted a fic rec 🥰 I'll be posting a list everyday till all 7 parts are posted Go and leave these authors some love ❤️ Happy Reading! Theme: A fic that you’d like to celebrate and give some love to ❤️ the poem you make of me by @omgcmere

@celaestis1: Just as they speculate under the linden tree, Henry is a writer; Alex a model. The story is just so beautiful, sweet and smutty and funny.

Omakase by @orchidscript

@historicallysam: Orchid made me fall in love with a brash American who wants respect and a stoic Brit who wants to be himself. I could read this story every single day.

We'll Invite Something In by @smc-27

@historicallysam: President ACD & HRH Prince Henry, grown up and willing to work for what they want. It's one of my top two favorite stories in this fandom.

Spoke Love to Soul by @celaestis1

@emmalostinwonderland: The story is gripping, the characters are compelling, and the myth they chose is really under-appreciated. I rode the entire rollercoaster of emotions with this one, and I would gladly do it again.

cover to cover by Anonymous

anon: The characters' voices are amazing and the narration is just super sweet! A feel-good fic for anyone craving a good intimate time.

On Thin Ice by @pirates-against-heterosexuality (WIP)

anon: A really sweet, in progress, NHL AU. It's in progress but It's really enjoyable so far, especially as it draws a lot of similarities to book moments, without being a copy.

Heartaches and Cupcakes and Sunshine Boys by @everwitch-magiks

anon: This was the first RWRB fic I read, and it's still my favorite! Henry as a writer (and her skill writing as Henry) and the emotional depth of this fic are things I need in every fic!

love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves by @kapplebougher

anon: I am simply OBSESSED with this oneshot, I scream about it to anybody that will listen. I come back and read it every time I read the climax of Alex and Henry's argument in London. It is Henry POV and the first time I read it I truly wondered if it was CMQ writing Henry fic on AO3. Not only does it build on the signet ring and give background on what it means to Henry and parallels it with his parents, but it also weaves fire/water symbolism for Alex/Henry. The thing that gets me is the quote at the end though. It's just like the queer historical quotes from the emails in the books and it makes the ending SO PERFECT it just makes me go feral. I wish I could give it all the kudos!

Picture On Your Corkboard by bleedingballroomfloor

anon: absolutely beautiful and a roller coaster of emotions. 100% recommended.

religion's in your lips (even if it's a false god) by @coffeecatsme

anon: NSFW but also incredibly good and i need everyone to appreciate billie's writing!!!

Someday We Will Be Home by witchseeker1133

anon: this fic is incredibly special to me bc it was one of the first ones i read. it is very angsty but i think its worth a read.

[shewhowas39]

title: Nonsense rating: E / 18+ pairing: Astarion x f!durge (June)/OC summary: set in late act 3: the gang is stressed, and Halsin suggests they partake in some pipeweed t help them relax, but it may have unexpected (horny) effects on the undead. (or, the sex pollen fic where June gets railed by her horny, needy vampire boyfriend.) content warnings: sex pollen, recreational drug use (pipeweed), piv sex, vampire bites

A/N: this is the smutfic i wrote to celebrate 100 kudos on Juniper & Starlight. you don't need to read the longfic to read this one. just know that June is the dark urge and is in an established relatinship with Astarion. enjoy!

***

PREVIEW

He can’t take it anymore.

He needs her.

Right now.

“Everyone out!”

Conversation around the room stops as several pairs of confused and curious eyes turn toward him. 

“Is something wrong, Astarion?” Wyll asks. 

“The only thing wrong is that you are all still here,” he says, sliding an arm beneath June’s knees to lift her into a princess carry as he stands. “I’d strongly suggest you leave now.”

“Astarion!” June gasps, arms wrapping around his neck for support. 

“You joking, Fangs?” Karlach asks.

Shadowheart’s eyes drop down to the bulge in his trousers before making a disgusted noise and turning away. “He’s not. Let’s go.”

“By Mystra’s eyelids, you two!” Gale croaks, his face turning very red as he stands up and shuffles to the door. Several of the others make noises of outrage and protest while June gives them an apologetic look. 

Astarion does not care. He’d take her on the floor in front of everyone right now if that was his only option. But he doubts June would be quite so amenable to an audience. It really is terribly annoying that this floor of the Elfsong is so open, affording them all very little privacy. Normally, he’d try to plan around this situation - sneaking off to another inn, waiting until everyone else was out, and so on. But there’s no time for that now. 

If he isn’t inside of her in the next five minutes, Astarion thinks he might die.

Five minutes might be pushing it, actually.

[aeor-is-for-reccing]

Happy Birthday, Aeor is For Reccing!

One year ago today (give or take a couple hours), we published our first rec list. To celebrate, I (Opera) have prepared some stats. A little bit like a reccing wrapped, only with a smaller budget and being less creepy about your data.

But thank you to everyone who has recced, every one who has read the reclist, everyone who has reblogged, everyone who has kudosed, to @professor-rye and @theusualjasper, and everyone who helped along the way.

I'm glad we've gotten this far!

To start: We've had 685 recs, 478 fics, 210 Authors, 53 reclists and 43 themes.

Most Recced Authors: (1) Mousecookie - 25 recs (1) royalgreen - 25 recs (3) SaltCore - 21 recs (4) hanap - 15 recs (5) kmackatie - 14 recs (5) Chrome - 14 recs (5) Firefright - 14 recs (8) Mlle Kurtz - 12 recs (9) road_rhythm - 11 recs (9) MinnesotaBruja - 11 recs (9) LuckyOwlsFoot - 11 recs (9) MarsBar2019 - 11recs

Authors with the most fics recced: (1) royalgreen - 18 fics (2) SaltCore - 13 fics (2) hanap - 13 fics (4) Mousecookie - 12 fics (5) kmackatie - 10 fics (5) LuckyOwlsFoot - 10 fics (7) Firefright - 9 fics (7) Jakia - 9 fics (9) Professor_Rye - 8 fics (9) Mlle Kurtz - 8 fics

Fics recced the highest number of times: Hard Mouth and The Hole in the Stone, both recced 8 times Fic recced the most number of times for a single theme: In the Closet of Our Discretion, by Firefright for Cultural Differences (recced 4 times) Longest fic recced: Dappled Shadow and Penumbral Light by Professor_Rye (463,977) Shortest fic recced: Of Constellations and Freckles, also by Professor_Rye (100 words) First fic Recced:  Stay for a Spell by Palebluedot Latest fic Recced: Uncharted Waters by EmpressofWizards

Word Cloud based on what people like about the fics:

Most common content note: Choose Not To Warn Number of Series recced: 16 Percentage of Hidden Gems that are No Longer eligible (have over 150 kudos):  48% (check them out!) Number of Images Rai has Used: 27

So what's next?

Well, the absolute next thing is that sometime this week I'm going to post the reccing spreadsheet for everyone to see - if people want to look through old recs, they should feel free to! Then there's the ideas I had from the survey a few months ago - chief among them was making it easier to import information from AO3 (you'd still be able to rec fics that can't be imported or on tumblr, I'm just trying to remove some of the hassle) I'm still doing research on the best way to make that happen, and kind of selfishly want to do it myself - but it's been a busy couple of months for me.

Speaking of which - I'm having surgery in a month! A double masectomy and reconstruction on February 19 (roughly equivalent to top surgery (masculinizing)) and February 20th (roughly equivalent to top surgery (femininzing- fat grafting)). Kind of like they're turning my chest on and off again - a ctrl-alt-deteat, if you will. Anyway, I don't want cancer, but everyone I've talked to about this has said the stomach incision is worse than the chest incision, and nobody's ever described top surgery as a walk in the park. I'm planning on doing absolutely nothing for six weeks, and @theusualjasper will be taking over during that time.

Anyway, here's to another year! Thanks to everyone who has participated or helped along the way, you're all great. Even you <3

What a coincidence it was that the whole Task Force’s leave landed in June this year. No one hadn’t even remembered what this month was till they all landed back home via plane. And I mean— who could blame them when their whole career held the weight on their shoulders to save lives and make sure a tragedy is only remembered by the few who were qualified enough to be deemed worthy of such information. But soon the whole Task force had been acknowledged of this information.
