[the unsleeping city, post canon. gen. 3k. new years eve]

New Year’s Eve is always a weird time, for all of them. It brings up a lot of memories- good and bad ones.

Kugrash, of course, always. Sofia swears that sometimes, especially this time of year, she can taste poppyseeds and onions on the wind, like he’s looking down at her from his place of one-ness with the universe. Kugrash is everywhere in the city around them- that was kind of the point of the Everything everything bagel, Sofia supposes- but that understanding doesn’t always help to lessen the grief.

As much as Kugrash’s absence is obvious in moments like this, late December also always brings with it Langston’s birthday, and both of the times their little family managed to save their city from forces of destruction and nihilism. Wally always visits in the days after Christmas, and late December is when Sofie finally got Dale back.

It is, as Cody would say, two sides of the same sword. As sharp as it is sweet.

[jq37]

it’s really important to me that Oisin is not evil and adaine dates him i just think she deserves a nice dragonborn buff loser boyfriend

OBVIOUSLY I say this with the caveat that if Siobhan/Adaine aren't interested that's totally valid.

But also COME ON. How cute would it be?

-She gets another wizard in her social life who will actually understand when she says stuff like, "Abjurative grammar is prescriptive."

-Summer Nights "Tell Me More, Tell Me More" energy from the other Bad Kids and Aelwyn.

-Hot, dorky nerd who thinks she's really cool (because she is) to hype her up.

-She gets to shove his defection to their side in Kipperlilly's face which she'd love because she is a petty bitch first and a wizard second.

What's not to like? Also, Brennan is behind a lot of super cute romantic content in D20 (he's gotten lines I really love as Ayda, Esther, Hob, and Dale just off the top of my head) and I think Adaine deserves some of that as she's in the midst of her third potential apocalypse.

As a treat.

[kermit-coded]

i will never be over the home for the holidays episode of the unsleeping city. all of the scenes hit so hard emotionally and yet are so off the wall bonkers. pete finally getting to have a stable family christmas party with kingston's family and kingston hyping pete up to his cousins so they'll hire pete, all while pete is wearing a zebra cowboy hat and a giant fluffy sweater. murph failing his spell attack and kugrash spending christmas playing with his grandchildren as a dog and being unable to talk to his estranged son like he wants to. sofia going home for the first time after finding out about her family's involvement with dale's death and leaving her burner number only for her mom because she doesn't trust her dad or brothers. ricky and esther visiting esther's mom and grandma and ricky just being so sweet and understanding with esther, and giving esther the fireman's calendar. no one is doing it like them.

5K Fic Celebration!

AO3 hit 5,000 Dimension 20 works on AO3 today, thanks to a lot of great writers over the years <3

For those who spend less time there than me, some stats on the most popular characters at this point and all. I'm going to list an overall edition and then one that excludes Fantasy High characters, as Fantasy High dominates the lists otherwise:

Overall Characters: Adaine Riz Fig Fabian Kristen Gorgug Aelwyn Ayda The Bad Kids as a whole Jawbone

Hob is 11th, if you were to exclude the Bad Kids tag. There's a sizable gap in between Fabian and Kristen, though it's actually shrunk slightly since Junior Year started; I think we might see a lot of Kristen and Gorgug fic with their Junior Year selves in the books. There's a big drop between the PCs and the NPCs, though Aelwyn and Ayda are the two most popular NPCs by a mile. They used to be closer to each other, but Aelwyn's been in Junior Year more than Ayda and she's been increasing her lead as a result.

Overall Ships: Riz/Fabian Ayda/Fig Hob/Rue Adaine & Aelwyn Kristen/Tracker Riz & Fabian The Bad Kids & The Bad Kids Zelda/Gorgug Adaine/Fig The Bad Kids & Riz (If we exclude the Bad Kids relationships:) Esther/Ricky Adaine & Riz

My guess is that Riz/Fabian gets dethroned in the next few months; this used to be the most popular pairing by a mile, and Ayda/Fig are close on their heels now. A lot of the popularity of that pairing is from prior to Sophomore Year finishing, though it's not totally waned, obviously.

Hob/Rue are, for the record, tagged in one more fic than Rue themselves is, which I think is hilarious.

It wouldn't surprise me if long-term Zelda/Gorgug in particular falls entirely off this list; we'll see what we get the rest of the season though.

Also, speaking for my non-romance writing aroace self, I LOVE that there are so many platonic relationships on this list.

Not-Fantasy High Edition! Characters first: KP Hob Amethar Rocks Theobald Gumbar Ruby Rocks Delloso de la Rue Pete Conlan Jet Rocks Caramelinda Rocks Liam Wilhelmina

This is maybe a surprising list, a mix mostly of Crown of Candy and ACoFaF with Pete at least making the list to break up that monopoly - this tracks as those are by far the second and third biggest campaigns for fics on AO3. To me the biggest highlight here is Caramelinda making it at ninth, above Liam and Lapin among others.

Rue/Hob Ricky/Esther Lapin/Theobald Andhera/Binx Caramelinda/Lazuli Elody/Gerard Deli/Colin Jet & Ruby Calroy/Amethar Dale/Sofia

I mean, I have a Rue/Hob fic that certainly doesn't present the relationship in a positive light. I feel like it's less interesting in a happy light than the others of ACoFaF, alas, and the gap between first and second on this list is massive - there's more than twice as many RueHob fics as Ricky/Esther. Half or more of the Elody/Gerard fics are focused on them breaking up, which is reasonable.
