✔ Advent Calendar 2024 💜
Tumblr media
It's the most wonderful time of the year🎶
It's here, the giving season! And while I love advent calendars and already have one for coffee and one for chocolate, I thought what about one for fics? Though I won't be writing, no - I'll be reviewing and recommending wonderful treats! You'll get juicy suggestions, and our lovely writers will get some love for Christmas! And at the end? I will post a bitey gift :p
How does it work?
Every day, I'll reblog this post and add a card with the fic of the day - I'll give some details, a quote, and a fleeting thought. The selection is based on what I've read this year that got my attention, 1 author a day, multiple AUs and tropes! (check the warnings for the fics individually!)
I hope you check them, and if you do, don't forget to show them some love ✨💜
🎄Here we have it, folks! You'll find every suggestion in the list below:🎄
Tumblr media
The Demon Is In The Details by @colormepurplex2
Demon!Jimin x f.Reader / Crossroads AU / angst, smut
"You’re now mine forever, little mouse."
⟢ So absolutely delicious how one mistake changes everything, not just for some silly humans, but also for a demon who thought nothing could surprise him anymore! [my review]
——✨Bonus! Beware The Thorns✨
Yoongi x Jungkook x Jimin x f.Reader / Mafia, Step-Sibling AU / Taboo, angst, smut
"There is only one thing left standing in our way, angel."
⟢ I have no excuses - this is potentially the most indulging, deviant, steaming hot fic I've ever read! It lives in my mind rent-free, thanks Leah! [my review]
Tumblr media
Sweet by @oddinary4bts
idol!Seokjin x f.Reader / Idol post Military AU / angsty, smut
It feels like, maybe, you were his all this time too.
⟢ There are so many sweet things about this story: the way that Jin thinks and feels, that he apologizes and expresses regret, that OC is believable and well-rounded, that they both take a chance, and make a decision, not because of a momentary lapse of judgement, but out of genuineness... It's a little treasure! [my review]
✨Bonus! To Give a Helping Hand✨
Idol!Jungkook x f.Reader / Idol AU / smut
He’d be feral with you – he’s feral just thinking about you.
⟢ I don't think this fic needs introductions, and I have reblogged it before, but still, couldn't keep myself from mentioning it again! [my review]
Tumblr media
Effet Mer by @spideyjimin
Jungkook x f.Reader / Healing AU / angsty, smut
Hot sex with Jungkook in Nazaré is a combo you never thought you needed.
⟢ There. Is it a spoiler? Potentially. Do you all need to read about what goes down? Absolutely! [my review]
Tumblr media
The Price by @daechwitatamic
Yoongi x Hunter!f.Reader / Snow White AU / angst, smut
Maybe you do love him. You just can’t forget - not for a second - how little it matters.
⟢ Unhappy ending? Nonsense! It hurts just a little - just right - just perfect. [my review]
✨Bonus! Of Ruin✨
Prince!Taehyung x f.Reader / Supernatural AU / mystery, fantasy, smut
"Even when I think I’ve seen the true measure of you - you surprise me again and again."
⟢ This is one of the best stories I've ever set my eyes on. It's compelling, rattles you to your bones, and you'll be thinking about it for eons! READ IT! [my review]
Tumblr media
The Taste of Sin by @shadowkoo
Taehyung x f.reader / Warlock/Witch AU / angst, smut
This is exactly why they say to never mix business with pleasure. It makes such a mess of things.
⟢ Woah, this was intense! The warnings and things made me approach this with so much caution, only to be swept off my feet! [my review]
Tumblr media
Spin Cycle by @miscelunaaa
Jungkook x f.Reader / Uni AU / slow burn, strangers to lovers, smut
He’s never going to complain about a girl having sweater paws while wearing his hoodie.
⟢ I read this by the pool side with a glass of wine and couldn't put it down. It's such an easy, good read! Also, confession: I forgot it had smut! And it's good too! I guess the story just really is that good! [my review]
Tumblr media
Lifeline by @downbad4yoongi
Namjoon x f.Reader / First responder AU / brother's bf, smut
I won’t break…but it never hurts to try.
⟢ Wait, hold up, time out - can we just talk about how hot this fic is? But first, let's address how the propelling event of this story is the bane of every woman's existence. [my review]
Tumblr media
Protecting the Bloodline by @kth1
Prince!Hoseok x Human!f.Reader / Vampire AU / angst, smut, royal
Little dove… In a world full of twisted beings, how have you turned into such a kind woman?
It's so hard to find words to describe this story... It's both incredibly beautiful and so full of pain, that I just... I'll start by recommending it. [my review]
Tumblr media
Vigilant(e) by @yoongihan
Lawyer!Yoongi x Prosecutor!f.Reader / Law AU / angst, smut, secrets
We can’t be casual.
When I started reading this, I had no idea where it was going, but it turned out to be a perfect light read to swoon over Min Yoongi. [my review]
Tumblr media
Of Crowns and Daggers by @mrsparkjimin18
Prince!Jiminx Princess!f.Reader / Arranged marriage AU / royal, angst, smut
We’re not so different, you and I.
⟢ I really like royal AUs, but add a sprinkle of plotting, inner conflict, and romance, and the combination is an absolute delight. [my review]
Tumblr media
Bewitching by @taegularities
Prince!Jungkook x Human!f.Reader / Vampire AU / angst, smut
I think… falling in love with you was– was inevitable anyway. But the fear…
I blush every time I read this. It's such a perfect blend of deep, maddening love and fear... of overpowering longing... It's achingly gorgeous. [my review]
Tumblr media
Jealousy by @mikrokosmoslove
Namjoon x f.Reader / FWB AU / f2l, fwb, angst, smut
Yeah, but that also means it ends when one of us starts dating!
I didn't expect this entry, but when I read it, it automatically clicked for me—fwb is a sweet downward spiral. We all know how it ends and still fall for it every time. [my review]
Tumblr media
Timeless Rhythm by @bratzkoo
time lord! hoseok x archaeologist! reader / Adventure AU / mystery, romance, fluff
The rest, as they say, was history. Or perhaps, in your case, it was the future.
Woah, this was so different and refreshing! Going on such adventures always risks the timeline, but we wouldn't have it any other way! [my review]
Tumblr media
Wicked As They Come by @caelesjjk
vampire!yoongi x reporter! f reader / Fake dating AU / romance, smut
Don’t forget who you’re talking to with that smart fucking mouth, little monster.
I'm here to discredit this author - this is not just mostly porn - this is mostly awesome porn with a sprinkle of feelings - and our asshole vampire Yoongi doesn't do feelings 😏 [my review]
Tumblr media
Safe Haven by @kth1fics
Werewolf!Jimin x Princess!f.Reader / Supernatural AU / royal, shifters, angst, smut
He does the things he does because he loves you.
This story is absolutely endearing, with a perfect sprinkle of sacrifice, lifelong love, and perfectly timed confessions 💜 [my review]
Tumblr media
Angel by @sailoryooons
Mafia!Yoongi x Sex worker! F. reader / Mafia AU / Semi-established relationship, smut, fluff
I need you to do whatever it is you need to do to protect yourself.
As far as Mafia AUs are concerned, this fic is the standard. If I had to choose a top, this would be in the top three, at least. If I had to choose a perfect Yoongi, you know it—this one would be it. [my review]
Tumblr media
Fists and a Smart Mouth by @pars-ley
Namjoon x (f)reader / Cowboy au / E2L, angst, smut
I can assure you, I'm more of a 'violence is the answer' type person, in case that wasn't obvious already.
Ouf, this was a hard pick (because all Ley's stories are great), but it was also super easy. Of course, I didn't choose it because it features Namjoon. I chose it because the mystery takes its time to unravel, revealing a gripping plot until the end. [my review]
——✨Bonus! Red thread of fate✨
Vampire!Seokjin x human!(f)reader / Soulmates au / Angst, fluff, smut
Does listening to my heart not make you thirsty?
It's not often that a vampire fic delves not only into themes of fate but also into selfless, boundless love, and this story is one of those with an interesting catch within it. [my review]
Tumblr media
Alpha by @borathae
Alpha Dom!Jungkook x f. Omega sub!Reader / ABO au / E2L, angst, smut
We really shouldn’t be doing this, fuck, this shouldn’t happen.
Step aside while I shamelessly drool all over this piece of indulgent heaven. [my review]
——✨Bonus! Bonded✨
Alpha Dom!Jungkook x f. Omega sub!Reader / Arranged Marriage au / E2L, angst, smut
I just needed to know that this wouldn’t be lost forever.
The way I consumed this sequel. When I finished reading Alpha, I didn't know what could happen next, and this direction surprised me. [my review]
Tumblr media
The Surface by @moni-logues
prince merman!Hoseok x sea witch!reader / The Little Mermaid AU / angst, smut
You could bend reality, but that didn’t mean you always saw it clearly. The heart had tricks of its own.
Can you imagine how excited I was when I saw a Little Mermaid retelling? And then realized I'd be the sea witch? Fuck yeah! [my review]
Tumblr media
Saudade by @chateautae
idol!taehyung x choreographer!reader / Secret relationship AU / angst, smut
I was doing it for you! The reason was all for you, for us!
It's always interesting for me when authors use words native to me to describe feelings that are not translatable - like saudade. So yes, I had to read what Taehyung was up to, and I was not disappointed [my review]
Tumblr media
The Creamed Pie by @moccahobi
Succubi!Seokjin x human!reader / Demon AU / slow burn, angst, fluff
If you're trying to live like a human, you're failing.
This story is such a spark of fun! Everything, from the lore to the characters, the relationships, the name of the shop, the quips and the way it doesn't take itself seriously -- until it does. [my review]
——✨Bonus! Amor Erratur✨
Yoongi x reader / Dystopian AU / angst
Oh how he would love to be married to her. 
This story is set in a dystopian world, and it is so out of the ordinary and unique not just because of the world-building but because of Yoongi. [my review]
Tumblr media
Seven Days by @hisunshiine
nurse!jungkook x teacher!reader / FWB AU / age gap, angst, smut
Every hour, every minute, every second, he’s in love with you.
As soon as I read the summary, not only did I think it was a clever idea for a series and someone had to do it, but I also knew I'd end up feeling very personally about it. [my review]
Tumblr media
Oath in the Moonlight by @jamaisjoons
crown prince!namjoon x cursed maiden!reader / Soulmates AU / fantasy, angst, smut
Because I no longer want just one night. Not if it’s with you.
This is such a rich, fulfilling story, with captivating worldbuilding, dramatic twists, and lots of love. [my review]
Tumblr media
Christmas Fix by @yoonia
Taehyung x (f)Reader / Secret Baby!au / S2L, angst, smut, Christmas fic
I suppose this is what people call a Christmas miracle.
I had to leave the most Christmassy fic I've read for the end. Leave it to none other than the Queen to make a new classic filled with drama and plot twists.[my review]
Tumblr media
Down Bad by me 💜
Vampire!Jimin x human(f)reader / Soulmate AU / angst, smut
Kissing you was not on the agenda, and it threw him off. How the fuck was he supposed to let go of you now?
I can't review my own fic, but this is my gift to you 🥰🎁✨

HOLIDAY FIC REC, PART V: Below you’ll find 25 fics that have to do with the holiday season.
📖 Larry Xmas Countdown 2024 by @28goldens (133k)
Different fic prompts posted across 25 days
📖 Twinkling Lights, Fated Nights by @darling-28 (87k)
A story about healing, love and finding home in each other.
📖 Home For The Holiday by @larrysmomfics (86k)
Harry needs to run away. In an attempt to get out of his own routine and his own life for a while and get over his extremely toxic ex, he decides on an emotionally fueled whim to do a house swap with someone in LA who's itching to get out of his own routine and get away from his best friend and business partner for a bit. In a quirky turn of events the best friend Liam was so desperate to get away from happens to be the most lovely, kind, and beautiful man Harry's ever met. What ensues is a self healing journey with the help of a found family, a wonderful man who becomes his home, and above all love. A "The Holiday" inspired AU where Harry meets Louis after agreeing to swap houses with a stranger on the internet for three weeks over the holidays.
📖 Secrets in Winter by @softfonds (82k)
If Harry Styles thought he was going to have a peaceful winter while staying far away from the rake who lived across the street, he was sorely wrong on two fronts. A Victorian AU.
📖 2024 Advent Calendar by @the-larry-way (40k)
25 independent one-shots with wintery/Christmas themes centering Larry Stylinson
📖 Heart Beat by @allwaswell16 (35k)
Hideaway Haven is the place that Louis has always called home. It's also the place that Harry had tried to leave behind him. When Harry returns to start a music academy in his hometown, he finds himself face to face with his high school crush—and his charming daughter who wants to learn to play the drums.
📖 You Should Be Here With Me by @lululawrence (34k)
The festive period is a traditionally hectic one in the world of Premier League football, and this year is no different. A lot is riding on how Manchester United is able to come through the fixtures in the coming weeks. Louis and his teammates know all too well the pressure that is on their shoulders. They need to prove, not just to fans of the club but the entire league, that they still have what it takes to be a team worthy of fighting for the top of the table. Throw in the fact that Louis is all too aware that he's not getting any younger in a profession that demands your peak physical fitness year round and the incredibly fit Harry Styles, who is part of the club's social media team, and this year's festive period might just be the most important one yet.
📖 I Guess I'll Surrender by @bravetemptation (29k)
A lad’s Christmas holiday provides the perfect opportunity for Louis and Harry to prank their friends. They decide to fake date. Feelings kind of get in the way
📖 We Can Roll in the Darkness by @letthemusicmoveyou28 (29k)
Or the one where Louis and his best mate Niall decide to take the plunge and open a pub. The goal is to open Christmas Day, but the building renovations are proving trickier than expected. Insert: a construction company with a questionable name, a certain curly haired builder who catches Louis’ attention, and a little festive chaos along the way.
📖 Your Reign is Free (to give along to Santa) by @londonfoginacup (28k)
It’s Christmas Eve. It’s a totally normal Christmas Eve. Harry and Louis have some friends coming by, and some totally normal birthday and Christmas plans. It’s a totally typical totally normal Christmas Eve. A fic that takes place over 24 (+1) hours where surely everything will go totally to plan. Happy Christmas, here’s to many more.
📖 One for the Books by @neondiamond (25k)
Or the one where there’s a bookshop, a cat, OT5 friendship, a budding romance, and all the festive vibes.
📖 Lonely Cards Club by @hellolovers13 (25k)
Harry's life in Cardiff is rather uneventful. Until he receives a strange Christmas postcard. It gets even stranger when he finds another one the next day. 💌 An Advent story about missed opportunities and second chances.
📖 light me up, put me on top by @larrydoinglaundry (24k)
Harry takes Louis back to Northern Europe to experience his first Nordic Christmas in their beloved cabin, surrounded by nothing but peace and snow. So much snow. Short "spin-off" to 'Love is a word, you gave it a name' universe. Takes place after the second part of the main story, but before the final epilogue.
📖 Secrets, Santa? by @indiaalphawhiskey (19k)
Right, okay, so Harry had confessed his deepest, darkest, dirtiest secrets to a stranger who turned out to be his boss. No big deal. This was probably just the beginning of Harry’s own hilariously heartwarming, wildly romantic Hallmark Christmas movie, come to life, right? …Right? -- very loosely inspired by Sophie Kinsella's Can You Keep A Secret?
📖 You Are The Fever (What A Lovely Way To Burn!) by @yoursolosong (18k)
Harry is an alpha who realizes he’s also into alphas and wants to be submissive. He battles between his instincts and what he wants.
📖 Christmas At Cedar Farm by @babyhoneyheslt (17k)
Inheriting a derelict farm with no knowledge on how to look after the land and a farmhouse in dire need of renovations, Harry’s stuck with two options; sell it, or do it up for himself. With the help of his friends and the cute farmer next door, Harry sees the potential and creates a Winter Wonderland at Cedar Farm.
📖 Santa, Baby by @hazzabeeforlou (16k)
Nothing in Harry’s life has gone to plan. From giving up his art dreams in favor of a stable 9-5, to singleness, to a bought with cancer that left him infertile, Harry finds himself wishing for a Christmas miracle. When one seemingly occurs, Harry meets the sperm donor of his dreams and begin to imagine the impossible. But not everything with Louis is as it seems, and soon an elusive art agent is adding to the chaos of Harry’s very unexpected holiday season. Set against the backdrop of New York City, this hallmark-style rom com is filled with a bit of drama, a drop of angst, and a touch of Christmas magic.
📖 knowing you're in love with me is the greatest gift of all by @dreamersdivin-headfirst (6k)
Harry just wants to fall back to sleep in his husband’s arms, wanting to treasure the quietness of Christmas morning before their kids wake up and realize what day it is. That dream is short lived when there’s a small shriek of joy from downstairs.
📖 I'll Show You How Good It Could Be by @lovingstheantidote (6k)
Harry makes Santa a drink and Louis gets naughty.
📖 me without you is like a present without a bow by @wecantalktomorrow (5k)
The reassurance from Louis had Harry grinning and running his hands down his husband’s sides. “I think you’re going to like it,” he murmured confidently, starting to play with the hem of his own jumper when he sat back against his husband’s bent knees. “Sorry you don’t get to unwrap it, though. Knew you’d be more reluctant to be tied up if you saw it first.”
📖 Mistletoe and Eggsnogging by @parmahamlarrie (5k)
Harry has a plan. It involves mistletoe, a night out at a club, and the hope that perhaps he might pull a nice boy tonight. The night does not go in any way like he had planned, but it all works out in the end.
📖 A Man After Midnight by @galacticlarry (4k)
Harry thought kissing Louis on New Year’s Eve would be a one-time thing, but they keep running into each other and it becomes a tradition. What happens when feelings start getting involved? Or the five times Harry kisses Louis on New Year’s Eve and the one time he kisses his boyfriend.
📖 Santa Baby (one little thing I really need) by @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed (3k)
When Louis himself had first heard those words - all the nurses at the A&E have a secret line to Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve-, not nearly long enough ago to be considered a child himself, but long enough that he hadn't really felt like an adult all the time, he’d laughed them off. Thought they were sweet, of course, but just a line, something said to appease the kids who ended up having to stay overnight. Something to explain the presents that parents brought to the hospital on Christmas morning, or that were waiting for them at home, if they were lucky not to have to stay any longer. Something that would allow a little bit of Christmas spirit in the sometimes sterile rooms of the hospital. But that was before he’d met him.
📖 Have yourself a larry little christmas by @enchantedlandcoffee (2k)
A plan to exchange presents lead to more than both Harry and Louis bargained for.
📖 Too Many Beds - A Christmas Tale by @silverstuff50 (2k)
Louis was fine to share a room with any of the lads on their Christmas weekend away. Anyone, except the one lad he hates. He definitely hates him. He's annoying and big and gorgeous and, yeah, annoying.

Part 1 of TFC Fantasy AU
It's a crisp day caught between winter and spring. The plateau shivers, drawing out long gasps in the breeze.

Maybe once he meets this brother of his, then they can celebrate their birthdays together. Maybe they can give each other presents, and eat cake, and blow out the candles using the combined forces of their breath. Maybe, maybe, maybe. (Andrew Doe spends his birthday choking down cake that Cas got him, trying to hide the fresh marks on his arm, and thinking about the best way to keep his mysterious brother as far away from him as possible) (or: the Twinyards's birthday's through the ages, featuring very ugly ties, large sugar intakes, and lots of growth and healing)

“Ooooooh.” Nicky said, eyes suddenly bright and interested. “A boy? A boy you like?” “I literally cannot stand anything he does.” Andrew is quick to correct. “It won’t work, anyway. He thinks I’m a freak.” “Well, first impressions have never been your forte.” Aaron said snidely, obviously thinking of their own disastrous first meeting. “And how the fuck was inviting him to watch your mother’s cremation supposed to disprove that first impression?” “Our mother’s cremation ceremony.”

The K/S Gazette Newsletter
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Greetings and Felicitations, dear K/S friends! Happy New Year! We hope those of you in the Northern Hemisphere are staying warm and that those of you in the Southern Hemisphere are keeping cool. We have so many fannish activities going on. Let's take a look... 1. Submissions for the KiScon 2025 con zine are open now!
It's a new year, there'll be a new con, and we'll have a new con zine! Our brave 1lostone and Alice West are reprising their roles as zine editors and look forward to working with you.  While we know this is currently a contentious topic, please know that AI-generated works are not welcome here as AI-generated material is in diametrical opposition to artistic integrity, based on plagiarism, and a substantial consumer of valuable natural resources.
We are looking for new and never before seen art and writing (both fic and meta!) focusing on the relationship between Kirk and Spock.
You can read more here!!
2. Comments Made Them Do It: the February comment drive
For the month of February, we'd like for you to bring a little self-love into your life. 😏
Think of a fanwork (fic, art, vid, podfic, etc.) you created that you would like to see more interaction with. Maybe it features a tag that isn't as popular. Maybe it just happened to be posted on a busy day and only a few people saw it. Maybe you're just really darn proud of it!
Send your link to 1lostone by email or by Discord message, and she'll post it in the #self-love channel on our KiScord. Then, we'll have a lovely list of recs for people to enjoy. For the purposes of this, we ask that the fanwork has been posted for at least four months and ask that only V'Ger, the creator, send it to 1lostone.
Inspired by and special thanks to the Voiceteam Mysterybox mods for their 'Spread Love' challenge.
3. Kirk/Spock Spring Fever 2025 is happening
Here’s the schedule for 2025: Sign-ups and prompt posts: open until Jan 31 ("sign-up" is only needed for submitting prompts, not for filling them!) Prompt claims and creation period: open until March 10  Works due: March 10  Works revealed: March 22  Creators revealed: March 26 The time for all these steps is: 12:01 AM UTC.
Rules and FAQs can be found on the AO3 collection profile. They are pretty much the same as in previous years, but it’s worth checking them out for a quick refresher.
117 prompts have been collected during January and are now waiting to be filled by authors, artists, podficcers, etc. You can fill as many or as few prompts as you want, and prompts can also be filled multiple times.  There's a dedicated #ks-springfever channel in the KiScord, for discussion and mutual encouragement, and announcements are also posted to Tumblr. 4. Kirk/Spock Advent Calendar 2024 Masterlist Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Kirk/Spock Advent Calendar 2024!  93 fanworks were posted throughout December, by 26 creators; the works consist of 55 fics and ficlets, 26 poems, and 12 artworks. The 2024 collection is now closed for posting. The K/S Advent Calendar will return next year for a new round.  You can find the masterlist (in chronological order) on Dreamwidth and Tumblr. Or directly check out the AO3 collection. 5. KiScon Bingo 2025
KiScon Bingo has returned for 2025! Ping our bingo mod 1lostone to get your card!
You can (and are encouraged to) interpret the prompts in any way you can, in any medium of fanwork you choose: fic, meta, podfic, art, vid, gifset, etc.
You can also participate as reader/consumer of fanworks! Filling your bingo card by enjoying fanworks and leaving comments is a wonderful way to join the fun.
You have until Dec 31, 2025, to fill your prompts. If your fanwork is Kirk/Spock or Kirk & Spock in any universe, and you post to AO3, please use the collection link (or put "KiSconBingo", without the quotes, into the collection field during the posting process)! If you use your card to post something outside of the Trek fandom, that is perfectly fine, but it won't go into the KiScon collection.
The "challenge" comes in here: If the prompt is just something that you're iffy on, you have the option of either ignoring it and filling another line, or challenging yourself to create it!
As for 'filling' a bingo card, it's meant to be low-stress. You can fill any way that makes sense to you. Some examples are: you may create one fanwork per square, or one fanwork that uses a vertical/horizontal/diagonal line, or even a fanwork (or several) that uses everything on the card! The "free" space means you do not have to write a fic for that spot. You do not HAVE to fill every space on your bingo card! Once you fill the fanwork, please post the fill(s) (and the marked out card) in ⁠the #ks-bingo channel on the KiScord so we can celebrate you! See the pinned directions there on how to embed your card in your AO3 submission.
Feel free to use this writing event with any other writing event that tickles your frals. (Some suggestions: K/S Spring Fever and the KiScon Zine!) Have fun, and get creatin'!
6. Spotify Playlist: Last but not least, we would like to rec a beautiful playlist that Romeo made, including suggestions from the KiScord crowd: Pon Farr Night at the Vulcan Nightclub!

Writing Self-Evaluation 2024
thank you @red-pandaaa for tagging me! (I'm going to be including some personal evaluation as well since the actual template seems very published works focused)
1. Number of stories posted to AO3: 30 (out of which 21 were posted in 2024 (all in December))
2. Word count posted for the year: 60,178 (plus 102,016 unpublished words)
3. Fandoms I wrote for: One Direction (Band)
4. Pairings: Louis Tomlinson/Harry Styles — I might branch out one day, but so far I'm happy writing about the two people who bring me so much joy.
5. Story with the most (2024): Kudos: we got all night (we're going nowhere) 64, Bookmarks: baby, it's cold (inside) and Knot Together 20, Comments (Threads): there's a devil in your smile, it's chasing me 11
Story with the most (all time): Kudos and Bookmarks: Whatever Floats Your Boat 650 and 365 respectively, (Fake/Pretend, Cruise Larry, one of my proudest works) Comment Threads: Little Heartbeat 42, (not my best. based on a teenager's understanding of love and life. I was 14 when I started writing it)
6. Work I’m most proud of (and why): I'm probably most proud of my (Coming Soon) One Direction Big Bang fic. It's the longest thing I've ever written and the most fun I've had writing. As far as published works are concerned, I want to chicken and say I like my advent calendar but that's a cop out. So I probably will say the quinquagenarian. I think there aren't enough Older Larry fics in the fandom and I'm quite pleased with the banter in the fic. In general though, I'm really pleased with the Advent Calendar. It was a major challenge to come up with and write so many prompts (i'm still 5 short) but I think I rose well to the challenge!
7. Work I’m least proud of (and why): I always say that I try to be proud of all of my works because they all made me the writer that I am today (who I am very proud of) but in the spirit of answering the question I would say Green Apple Daiquiri. The plot isn't meaningful or compelling and I feel like I show a lack of understanding of interpersonal relationships that isn't justified at 14. It feels very fake deep but I still remember being thrilled with my brilliance when I initially wrote it. Such is young naivety. And although it shows up as my first work on ao3, it's actually my third, so I feel like I had enough writing experience that I should've been doing better.
8. Share or describe a favourite review you received: There is a few that come to mind and I'll share all of them because I can't appreciate my readers enough.
Someone said something about something reading like a movie. I know that's terribly vague but I've pored over my inbox and failed to find it.
@statementlou (apologies if this isn't your ao3 name and i've unnecessarily tagged you) with their encouragement when I was feeling bad for not being able to catch up with my advent calendar
@nyxdaughterofkhaos she is probably the big reason why I've written as much as I have this year but specifically this comment "Ahhhh!!! Loved this so freaking much!!! I think I'm gonna have to stop saying i have favorite! You keep surprising me with these little amazing and adorable fics!!!" I had been taking so much delight in all her lovely comments but something about this felt like her kissing my forehead and telling me they're all my favorite and it made me teary eyed
@signofcomfort my other wonderful beta. she described a scene in my big bang fic as something in a sitcom (intended as a compliment) and in general has been singing praises of the banter in the fic.
@parmahamlarrie in this specific rec she said about a naughty little christmas miracle 'Something about this one has stuck with me all month. I loved it!' and it just made my heart soar.
Thank you to all readers and especially to those who leave comments.
9. A time when writing was really, really hard: I didn't write much all year, but I've been on a roll since October. This last chapter of Knot Together was really hard. For the first time ever I rewrote the whole thing twice. I'm not a big rewriter so this was SO difficult. Especially doing the rewrites on that 24 hour timeline for 12 days of ficmas and all the while my beta was stuck without internet so I couldn't bounce ideas off anyone
10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you: I'm really bad at writing scenes with a lot of physicality. But I wrote a scene of Harry and Louis being goofy (the sitcom scene) that I was very pleased with.
11. A favourite excerpt of your writing: oh this is so hard. I never remember anything I write!! Full disclosure, this is basically the first thing I saw. But I am quite proud of it. It marks a massive turning point in the character's relationship with that kind of vulnerability (while still bantering). This is also the first publicly shared snippet of my @onedirectionbigbang fic. yay!!
Louis drifted in and out of sleep as he kept an eye on the bathroom door, eagerly awaiting his boy’s return. He grinned when the door opened. “Well hello, Little Harry,” Louis smirked, dragging his gaze slowly up Harry’s body till he met his eyes, a smug smirk on Harry’s lips as he stood in the doorway, towelling his hair, fully nude. “Little?” Harry looked down and scoffed. “Your scale is broken,” Harry hung up his towel on the towel rack before crawling into bed, getting under the covers. “Oooh bed’s all warm.” he murmured, smiling when Louis snuggled up to him immediately. “You did miss me, huh?” Harry chuckled, playing with his hair. “I did. More than you know,” he confessed. “Yeah? What would you do if I had decided I wanted to sleep in the guest room?” Harry teased. “Cried,” Louis said bluntly. “Begged you to let me sleep in the guestroom with you.” Harry’s face openly reflected his surprise at the raw honesty. “I didn’t sleep for a second last night, Harry,” he finally confessed.
12. How did you grow as a writer this year: i wrote a LOT. a lot of tropes and a lot of POVs. Practice makes perfect right? I think I wrote a strict POV for the first time. and it's alright. But I do enjoy telling my stories through third person omniscient/limited a LOT more
13. How do you hope to grow next year: I was supposed to write 500 words a day for 2024. Given that I didn't write for nearly the first 11 months of the year (i wrote for a week in january and then really started writing the week before halloween) the fact that I still ended up averaging 444 words a day is a resounding success. And something about angel numbers and stuff.
For next year, I plan on maintaining that goal. I have a few fics in mind that should help me accomplish that goal but I imagine it won't be easy between graduating college and starting my (anticipated to be very demanding) job.
14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc): @indiaalphawhiskey is always an inspiration. she is probably one of, if not the best writer I've ever read.
@nyxdaughterofkhaos has been a massive help in both encouragement and brainstorming
@chai-hat-tea has been another rock with brainstorming and cheerleading.
@justanothershadeofblue for helping me brainstorm and plan Knot Together even when my other friends were discouraging me. For creating a space where i can be pouty and uncharitable without hurting people. for everything
I think a lot of thanks goes to my sweet little cat Kimchi who has not only inspired fics directly, but also is the muse for a lot of cats that are showing up in my fics here and there. But more directly, my desire to stay in and cuddle with her often resulted in writing.
15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year: yes actually!!
there's a devil in your smile, it's chasing me was inspired by the first ice hockey match I ever attended just days before! (i did not get ditched by a date and kissed by the devil)
calm down, girl was inspired by my own anxieties of boarding my Kimchi. (i did not have a cute employee volunteer to send me daily pictures)
16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers: just write. stop waiting for the perfect time, the perfect prompt, the perfect mood. just write. The more you write the more easily it'll come to you. And don't be afraid to ask for help.
17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year: so many!! I'm looking forward to getting back to writing (and finishing) my big bang fic, and I intend on making both my girl dad louis and shapeshifting fics into full length fics! I haven't given a lot of thought to the latter two just yet but I fully intend to.
18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read.
no pressure to do this but would love to hear from you all! @justanothershadeofblue, @chai-hat-tea, @larry-hiatus, @indiaalphawhiskey, @twopoppies, @allwaswell16

Greenhouse Seven's 2024 Fic Rec Advent Calendar
Day 22🎄
Title: Tis the Fucking Season Author: @thequibblah Main Pairing: Jily Who recc'd this fic? Anonymous Tell us why you love this fic? The non-linear narrative is brilliantly done, the pining, and attraction and the notebook device are all excellent. And the structure around the taxi journey is both unusual and fun

Greenhouse Seven's 2024 Fic Rec Advent Calendar
Day 15🎄
Title: Jingle Holy F*ck Author: @theesteemedladydebourgh Main Pairing: Jily Who recc'd this fic? Anonymous Tell us why you love this fic? It's Lovers to Enemies to Lovers, a trope for which I am an absolute sucker. Pining, smut, denial of feelings and very bad decision making abound. And there is a (non-festive, WIP) sequel
