End of Year Wrap Up

I was tagged by my bestie @takadasaiko Thanks dearie!

Total number of completed works

6 in total: Welcome to Yavin IV (Part of Road to Lira San series); Running Out of Air, Something in the Dark, Ramaanla, and The Tables are Turned (as part of Whumptober); and High Above the Ground (for Foxiyo Week).

Total number of WIPs worked on this year

3 new works plus 1 old one. The Enemy Within (from Road to Lira San series); How to Save a Life (for Whumptober); and Deconstructed Reality (Kalluzeb minibang) are the new ones. I also updated Sandawuni Va Umtidagir (Unbreakable Bond) that it was first published in 2020.

WIPs neglected this year

The only one that I truly neglected and was first published in 2022 was Deconstructed Reality, but I have Rough Awakening from the previous year that is even more neglected. Oops 😅

Fandoms I've written in

1 (Counting Star Wars as a whole, or 4 sub fandoms)

Total word count

37,083 words published (+ over 15k words written for unpublished new works/updates)

Looking back, did you write more than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you expected?

*sighs* A lot less 😞 I thought 2022 was going to be the year of my comeback to writing, big time! It was not.

Did you take any writing risks this year?

I think I did in 2 instances. I started writing for my own OCs in a massive project that will expand to at least 4 multichaptered fics, if not more (Yikes 😬), and I did a little experiment with changing the type of narrator in one of my Whumptober fics.

Do you have any goals for the new year?

My goal is updating the WIPs I neglected last year and continue on the ones are still halfway in the story, and write and publish the 2 first installments of my "Insurrection" series, and work on the third, which is the longest on the series. If I can manage, I'll post that as well if I finish writing it.

Biggest disappointment?

The lack of inspiration brought up by the writer's block that hit me a large part of the year. I thought I was going to write a lot more, since I got my new laptop at the beginning of 2022, but it never happened.

Biggest surprise?

How the idea of participating in febuwhump (which I never actually did) with a single multichap fic, stringing up all the prompts together, turned into the "Insurrection" series. How 28 whump prompts turned into not less than 4 long fics, I don't know. I guess it was my head adding plot points after plot points. This project seems daunting but I'm determined to pull it off.

Most popular story of the year?

Welcome to Yavin IV, definitely. It's the one that has more hits, likes, and bookmarks of all the works I published in 2022. Although, Deconstructed Reality is the most commented and with more subscriptions, but being for a mini-bang, that it was expected.

What's your own favorite story of the year?

Oof! That's hard to decide. There's always something special in each of my fics, for a reason or another. I can't choose, so all of them 😆

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion

I think it might be The Tables Are Turned. If I compare its stats with that of the rest of my Kalluzeb fics, it has a noticeable less engagement from readers. I think that since I hinted at kink stuff very mildly in it (and tagged it as such), people were scared off. It's a shame, because the kink stuff I mentioned in the story is so mild, and it's not even smut, which is probably what people think they'll find inside. To be honest, I knew this could happen. I knew that by tagging BDSM in it, some people would run. It's a risk I took because I'd rather tag correctly and not having as many comments than not tagging and receive hate comments for not doing so. I do my part in facilitating that everyone can curate their experience to their liking.

Other story of mine that I could say it's underappreciated is High Above the Ground, which has about the same stats than The Tables are Turned, but being a fic for a rarepair, it's not exactly surprising that has less than 200 kudos.

Most fun story to write

Again, The Tables are Turned. I had so much fun writing it, because for the first time I put the good guys as whumpers and the bad guy as whumpee. It was hilarious to me having an imperial officer sweating in fear.

Most unintentionally telling story

Maybe High Above the Ground. It turned out to be very differently than what I first had in mind when I started writing it. I love the result though ☺️ even if nobody else thinks so.

My favorite part of fandom this year

That I became more confident in writing in this fandom, mostly because I've expanded my lore knowledge watching old shows I haven't watched before and getting very slowly into both canon and legend books. Also I made more good new friends.

Tagging anyone who wants to do this!!!

2022 Fic Year in Review

Alright y'all, time for one of my favourite new year activities- looking back at all of the weird shit I wrote last year! I always love being able to look back and see all the things I've created and the progress I've made. So without further ado, here it is: Your Local Trash Goblin's 2022 Fic Year in Review!

Fandoms Written For: Inception (6), The Batman (2), Star Wars Rebels (1), The Guest (2), Encanto (1), Kingdom (1)

Total Word Count: 231,264

Fic With the Most Comments: With Words I Thought I'd Never Speak

Fic With the Most Bookmarks: A Remedy for Sadness

Fic I'm Proudest Of: Mile Deep Hollow

January

A Remedy for Sadness

Fandom: Encanto

Rating: General

Word Count: 3.5k

Summary: Julieta healed injuries and sicknesses with the food she made. But more than that, she used her food to show love.

I went through a brief period where I, like many on Tumblr, was absolutely obsessed with Bruno we don't talk about him and this was the result lol. I had a really fun time writing the sibling dynamic between Bruno and Julieta since that's not a dynamic I necessarily end up writing very often

February

Title: One Hand Above the Skin (My Head Below the Water)

Fandom: The Guest (Choi Yoon/Hwa-pyung)

Rating: Teen

Word Count: 3.4k

Summary: Choi Yoon had been told over and over that facing evil directly took a permanent toll on one's mind and soul. Park Il-do was gone but his minions weren't, and Yoon found himself starting down several roads he wasn't sure he could come back from in an attempt to handle it

My K-drama obsession during internship interviews lol. Excellent show, highly recommend it

Title: Warmth Untouched by Cold

Fandom: Kingdom (Lee Chang/Yeong-shin)

Rating: General

Word Count: 2.3k

Summary: If someone had told Yeong-shin a year ago that he would willing stay by the side of a noble, he would have laughed in their face. Long months of travel and late nights around a fire had bred a sense of familiarity and companionship, though, and the more Yeong-shin came to know the former Crown Prince, the more he found himself caring for the very human man who existed behind the title

Decided to rewatch Kingdom as a post-internship match treat, and ended up revisiting an old WIP I had for it! Unironically one of the most beautiful shows I've ever watched, please do yourself a favour and watch it

March

Title: Only Human

Fandom: Star Wars Rebels (Kallus/Zeb)

Rating: General

Word Count: 41.7k

Summary: After two years in the rebellion, Kallus had finally found his place. It hadn't always been a smooth process, but he'd found enough acceptance to get by. That didn't mean he didn't still have a few secrets, though, secrets he'd kept for most of his life. Between the passage of time and the chaos of moving the base from Yavin IV to Hoth, keeping those secrets was about to get a lot harder. But maybe that wasn't the worst thing in the world

My entry for the 2022 Kalluzeb Minibang! I'd had the hc of Kallus being partially non-human for a while, and it was really fun to finally write a story to go with it. Plus it has some amazing art!

April

Title: Running Through My Veins Like Sin

Fandom: The Guest (Choi Yoon/Hwa-pyung)

Rating: Teen

Word Count: 32.2k (on-going)

On GOD I am going to finish this fic eventually, I promise agdkfjdh. I absolutely writing Yoon in this fic and I have a wonderful arc planned out for him, so I AM going to finish it. I just got distracted agdkd

Title: Comfort is a Heavy Blanket

Fandom: The Batman

Rating: General

Word Count: 2k

Summary: Alfred knew why Mr. Wayne had let an injured Carmine Falcone into his house to give him treatment, but that didn't mean he liked it. It was a dangerous situation, and the realization that five year old Bruce had witnessed all of it just made it worse

Oh The Batman. I saw you in theaters three times and you gripped me like a rabid animal. I absolutely loved Bruce and Alfred's relationship in this movie as well as the phenomenally Autistic Vibes(tm) of Battison

July (aka A Very Busy Month)

Title: With Words I Thought I'd Never Speak

Fandom: The Batman (Bruce/Martinez)

Rating: Teen

Word Count: 24.6k (on-going)

Summary: In the year following the Riddler's attacks, Martinez somehow found himself involved at least peripherally with two of Gotham's odder figures: Batman and Bruce Wayne. For all his initial dislike of Batman, a year's worth of cases resulted in a somewhat grudging respect for the vigilante's intelligence and investigative skill, even if he never quite became any less strange and unsettling. Martinez developed a new found appreciation for Bruce Wayne as well, an odd but likeable man who was pleasant to work with in his own awkward way. During an investigation into a death possibly connected to Penguin, Martinez accidentally learns that the two odd characters he's spent an increasing amount of time interacting with over the past year are actually the same person, who's far more complex (and far more human) than he'd ever realized

If I wasn't prepared for the death grip The Batman had on my brain, I DEFINITELY wasn't prepared for falling into the Bruce/Martinez dumpster fire. I love them so much. I also got distracted while writing this fic, but I have the basic plot points mapped out, and on GOD I will finish this one too

Title: As Warm As Whiskey (And Ten Times Better)

Fandom: Inception (Arthur/Eames)

Rating: Teen

Word Count: 1.3k

Summary: Watching Arthur get drunk was a process Eames had seen many times over the years, but that didn't make him enjoy it any less

It had been too long since I'd written for my Disaster Criminal Blorbos, but I was about to fix that lol. A short fic inspired by an Inception30DayChallenge prompt

Title: Such Great Heights

Fandom: Inception (Arthur/Eames)

Rating: General

Word Count: 51.5k

Summary: When the market crashed four years ago, things went to hell for a lot of people. Eames has done okay, though- his job as a reporter at the New York Herald Tribune was secure enough that he managed to keep it, and he was good enough at it that he made enough to get by. He has a strict rule, though: no photographers. Working with freelancers has always been a crapshoot, and it's only gotten worse over the past few years. When the Rockefellers insist on a photographer for the Tribune's upcoming story on their new building, though, Eames is forced to choose between dropping the best paying story he's had in four years or working with Arthur, the freelance photographer hired on the recommendation of Eames' editor, Dom. He's an odd man who clearly has a past and who, as Eames spends more time with him, is just maybe worth getting to know a bit better.

My entry for the 2022 Inception Big Bang! It was inspired by a combination of a real life photographer and a surprisingly fun horror movie about WWI zombie parasites (no parasites or zombies in the fic itself). I had a lot of fun writing it, and it has some amazing art!

Title: A Stranger's Kindness

Fandom: Inception

Rating: General

Word Count: 2.9k

Summary: Long before a reporter met a photographer in New York, a young woman found a soldier in a field in France.

The story of how Arthur and Mal met

A short prequel to Such Great Heights! Arthur and Mal's friendship wasn't a central part to the larger fic, but it was a relationship I found really interesting while developing the story and I wanted to expand on it a little more

Title: Relinquish

Fandom: Inception (Arthur/Eames)

Rating: Explicit

Word Count: 3.4k

Summary: Arthur liked to be in control, or at least on even footing with whoever he was interacting with. That was how he’d always been. Just…maybe not with Eames. The thought of letting someone else take control, letting Eames take control, was…different. Intriguing. Enticing. Enough so that he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about it. Maybe even imagining what it would be like, more often than he cared to admit over the recent weeks, and what had started as a bit of teasing had started to become more and more serious in his mind.

This one's literally just porn. I had a lot of fun writing it lol

Title: Taking the Leap

Fandom: Inception (Arthur/Eames)

Rating: General

Word Count: 1.7k

Summary: Personal information wasn't something easily or freely shared in the world of extraction. But sometimes the risk of vulnerability was worth it

Trans Arthur and nonbinary Eames my beloved ^-^ this is the first entry into what will eventually become a series

December

Title: Mile Deep Hollow

Fandom: Inception (Arthur/Eames)

Rating: General

Word Count: 60.6k

Summary: Eames had worked countless jobs with Arthur over the years, enough that he had long since picked up on Arthur's on-job habits. Long hours, little sleep, too much work shoved into too little time- that's just what Arthur was like on jobs. The Fischer job felt...different though. Arthur didn't usually start jobs looking this tired or worn down, and his insistence that he was fine didn't usually ring this hollow. It was worrying, and Arthur's increasingly unconvincing reassurances weren't doing much to help.

Everyone in extraction had their limits, even Arthur. And Eames knew he was getting close to seeing what those limits really were.

This is the fic I'm proudest of this year. Not only is it the longest fic I've ever published, but it was also one that had been sitting in my WIPs folder for 2 or 3 years. I really loved the concept but had gotten distracted and never ended up finishing it at the time. I'm actually really glad I waited because I think I'm a stronger writer now, and this fic ended up better for it. It's one of the angstier fics I've written while still having a happy (or at least very hopeful) ending, and I'm really proud of how it ended up turning out

And that's it! Adjusting to my internship work schedule was a process so unfortunately that cut down on the amount of time/brain power I could spend writing, but I'm still super proud of what I put out this (last?) year. To ever increasing skills and another year of good writing!

DECONSTRUCTED REALITY (Kalluzeb Minibang 2022)

This is my piece for @kalluzebminibang 2022!! It's been a blast to work on it, and I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. Amazing art by @gaylucanis coming soon!

Rating: teen and up

Warnings: referenced torture, brainwashing, implied genocide, PTSD

Words: 2.947 of ?

Chapter: 1 of 4

Synopsis: What if Alexsandr Kallus has been a rebel all along, even if he doesn't remember?

CHAPTER 1: Shattered Reflection

17 BBY

Coruscant

With wary expectations and his hands clasped behind his back, Colonel Wulff Yularen observes through the one-way transparisteel as an 8-trooper squad brings the prisoner into the lab. As a general rule, he’d think using that number of escorts is excessive, but this isn’t the average insurgent that he usually deals with. Three platoons under the orders of Yularen’s best student were needed to bring the man down.

As expected, the prisoner struggles to get free. His shouts are muffled by the partition, yet the vitriol in his words pushes through transparisteel and duracrete. Yularen almost can feel the anger hitting him in waves. It makes, yet, no difference to his situation. Handcuffed and outnumbered as the rebel is, he has no chance against the troopers who subdue and strapped him onto a stretcher. Then, he’s further neutralized when a med droid injects an anesthetic agent into his bloodstream, and the man loses consciousness after thirty seconds.

“Do you believe the procedure will work? The latest report says that another test subject was lost yesterday,” Tarkin says.

Yularen cast a peeved glance at the admiral standing next to him before returning his eyes to the other room. “I don’t see why it won’t work this time around,” he said, trying to hide the irritation in his voice. “Earlier errors have been rectified, and the candidate is optimal. The subjects used so far were weak, but this one is not.”

The pattern is obvious. The psyche of weak-minded subjects breaks under the implant’s influence. Thanks to the thorough interrogation he conducted on the prisoner, Yularen is sure that the man has the mental strength to survive the procedure. If the implantation goes as planned, the Empire will gain —for much Yularen hates to admit it— one of the most brilliant tactical minds ever born to replace one that was lost recently. It needs to go right. The failed expedition on Onderon left Yularen in a precarious situation in the Emperor’s eyes. This is his chance to prove his worth.

“If it works, what will you do? Take him to replace your dead pupil?”

“When,” Yularen puts great emphasis on the word, “it works, it’ll be as if I didn’t lose him in Onderon. The Empire will gain a survivor, a hero; a reminder of why we must end scum individuals such as Gerrera. It’ll show why we must show a hard hand dealing with the terrorists which only desire is keeping the galaxy at war.”

“That remains to be seen.”

Yularen grits his teeth, annoyed by Tarkin’s skepticism, his tone laden with a barely restrained contempt. Still, the sentiment is hardly a surprise. Yularen has always known that one man’s downfall assures the rise of another; nothing is a more certain thing in the Imperial Army. Those around him will take a hypothetical failure on his part as a trampoline to go up in the ranks, and matters little if they’re above or beneath his position.

But they will see. He will be victorious in this.

As the troopers retreat, leaving the medical personnel alone in the lab with the unconscious prisoner, Yularen stretches his hand out and pushes the comm button next to the window.

“Proceed,” he commands.

DECONSTRUCTED REALITY (Kalluzeb Minibang 2022)

The second chapter of my @kalluzebminibang piece is here! Enjoy!

Rating: teen and up

Warnings: referenced torture, brainwashing, implied genocide, PTSD

Words: 8.897 of ?

Chapter 2 of 4

Synopsis: What if Alexsandr Kallus has been a rebel all along, even if he doesn't remember?

CHAPTER 2: Strategic Alliance

Construction Module over Geonosis

As their party gets off the Ghost, Zeb’s stomach churns with anxiety. He has a bad feeling about the mission. Having the entire population of Geonosis missing foreshadows nothing good; only the Ashla knows what happened to them. He dreads to know what nasty surprise the Imps left behind in this module, but they have a mission to carry out in the rebellion’s name, so Zeb leads the rest of the Spectres into the depths of the station. For his family’s safety, he tries to push his misgivings to the background and focus on detecting any looming threat as they leave the hangar and walk into the abandoned module.

“What exactly are we lookin’ for?” he asks.

“The primary data banks,” Sabine replies behind him. “They might have records of what the Empire was making.”

Closing the group in the rear, Kanan says, “My gut tells me that those data banks will be empty.”

Zeb agrees silently. The Imps wouldn’t have left anything that could indicate what they were working on. The feeling they are also to blame for the bugs’ disappearance act on the planet makes Zeb swallow dry. If there’s someone who knows the length that the Empire goes to keep the galaxy in its iron fist, that’d be him. All his instincts go on alert and the knot in his stomach tightens when the hair on his nape rises with awareness. Someone is watching them. “My gut tells me this is a trap.”

As if waiting for his acknowledgment, the blast doors at their right open to reveal a squad of stormtroopers. To make things worse, Agent Kallus turns on the corner in front of Zeb accompanied by a couple of stormtroopers, cutting another escape route.

“How perceptive,” the agent mocks Zeb in his usual arrogant, disdainful tone.

Zeb snarls and surges forward to engage him, bringing his bo-rifle down in an arc. Agent Kallus parries the blow, using his own weapon.

“Lasats. Never know when to give up,” Kallus says, delivering a blow on his own.

Zeb blocks him with expertise. Rage surges in Zeb every time he fights the agent, knowing that he wields a weapon that belonged to a Lasan High Guard. Although he hates to admit it, the Imp wields it well. Agent Kallus is the only contender Zeb has encountered over the years since the fall of Lasan that it’s a real challenge for him. Evenly matched, their strikes are met with equal precision. If Zeb was fond of poetry, he’d say their fights are a well-choreographed dance where either could win. There’s a strange synergy between them that Zeb cannot explain.

Without missing a beat, Zeb deflects a low strike and goes to the offensive. He brings his bo-rifle high and low, trying to outmaneuver his opponent. The bo-rifles collide and he feels the blow reverberate along his arm. Karabast! Kallus is stronger than he looks.

“Zeb!” Ezra yells at him from across the hall.

Zeb looks over his shoulder and watches Ezra, Kanan, and Sabine retreating from where they came. It’s time to go.

“I’ll meet ya on the ship!”

Since this is my side-blog for Star Wars, I thought it'd be sensible to promote my writing as Nimata_Beroya on Ao3 and all other content I make here (Updated March 18, 2022)

Star Wars X-tober Extravaganza 2k21 Masterlist

The Bad Batch Appreciation Week Masterlist

Rescue in Ryloth (complete, 670 words)

Teen | tw violence| one-shot | fix-it

The rescue of the Syndullas in Ryloth goes differently than it was planned

Rough Awakening (WIP, 9365 words of ?)

Teen | tw violence | chapter 4 of ? | emotional hurt/comfort, whump, angst

The Batch finally rips Crosshair away from the Empire's clutches, but things don't go so smoothly once he's de-chipped.

Mando returns to the Razor Crest after finishing a job and gets help from the little guy.

Sandawuni Va Umtidagir (wip, 655 words of ?)

Teen | tw violence | chapter 1 of ? | canon-compliant, missing scenes, headcanons

The life of Din Djarin, beroya of the Mandalorian covert in Nevarro, turns upside down the moment he accepts the commission from the client.

Teen | warning referenced torture and genocide, mind control, PTSD | Chapter 1 of 4 | canon divergence, Bahryn with a different ending
