a writing challenge? in 2024? you bet

Hi! Hello! Hey!

I've been going through A Time and have chosen to cope by going back to the specific vibes of 2016 to 2018. That happens to include an incredible resurgence in my love for MCU fanfic, the community around it and all the love that goes into them. I've felt a bit distant from here for a while, but I still see so many of my old friends writing, ones who want to get back into it, and a whole lot of new writers I am dying to meet.

I've floated this idea vaguely on my blog and people seem to be interested so I figured it was worth a shot!

So yeah, welcome to Ari's Old School, Nostalgia Jam, Why-The-Hell-Not MCU Fic Writing Challenge 2024!

Prompts, rules and whatnot under the cut:

Requests:

If you could reblog this post to reach someone who might want to participate, I'd really appreciate it! No need to be following me, it's open for anyone.

Reader-inserts, OCs, solo character fics, character x character-- absolutely no limitations

Any and all MCU characters are allowed

Anything above 500 words should have a read-more/keep-reading tab. Series, multi-chapters, one-shots, drabbles, etc etc. The sky's the limit.

Please tag me in your fics (@shurisneakers) so I'm notified of them, and post them with the tag #arisoldschoolwritingchallenge . It may take me a while to get back to you due to the circumstances I find myself in currently, but I absolutely will. Please send me a DM if I haven't responded within 10 days.

Send me an ask with the prompt you would like. Feel free to pick up to 2 prompts

The only thing I request of you: no RPF and no dark fics. Smut is welcome, but non-con/dub-con/incest or anything along those veins is something I'd ask you not to submit for this challenge. Thank you for your understanding!

I know I've called it an MCU fic challenge as it's the community I've grown with, but if you feel like any of these prompts resonates with a character from another fandom, please go ahead and write it. This challenge really is just about the fun of writing fanfic and love for Your Little Guys

No submission cut-off date. Take all the time you need.

Day 18: Forgiveness

Modern AU, wc 879

Gale locks the door behind himself, leaves the keys in the lock to be sure no one will be able to come in from the outside.

He’s cold, on the outside but mostly on the inside, anger and disbelief freezing the blood in his veins: how could John betray him like that? With a smile on his face, and in front of their friends? After all the promises he’d made, promises that it’s clear now were empty, careless, a way to placate Gale just to stab him in the back later; he didn’t expect that from John, he trusted him.

And what did this trust got him? Ice running down his spine, the miserable feeling of looking like an idiot. Serves him right: he should’ve known by now, trust is something he’s not supposed to give out so freely.

He’s shrugging off his soaked coat when he hears the distinctive rattle of keys in the lock and a muffled curse when whoever is trying to come inside realizes the door is locked. “Buck! Come on, let me in!” John pleads, his voice muffled by the door.

“Go away!” Gale shouts back.

“Come on, this is my house too!”

“You can go sleep at Curt’s for all I care, or stay outside all night.”

“Buck,” John sighs. “Don’t you think you're overreacting, just a bit?”

“You promised!” Gale shouts, hands clenched by his sides so he’s not tempted to open the door just to scream better at his traitorous boyfriend. “You promised, and you still did it!”

“I’m sorry, ok?” John responds and Gale might have forgiven him but he can hear the laughter in his voice like John’s not being serious about it so he just tells him to fuck off and leaves him there.

He goes to their bedroom to change and instinctively reaches for one of John’s hoodies before stopping himself; it doesn’t matter if his are cozier, larger on him so they feel like a warm hug, he’s not gonna wear one because it would be like accepting a truce. So he puts on one of his sweaters — it’s probably one John got him, but that’s something he’s willing to accept.

When he comes back to the living room, there’s only silence waiting for him on the other side of the door. He can’t deny he feels a little disappointed John’s given up already, he was hoping for a little more groveling from him; he's probably back with his friends, thinking Gale will let him in if he lets him steam off some of his anger alone. He’s a fool if he really thinks that, Gale will keep him out in the cold as long as it takes him to realize how much he’s fucked up, he’ll barricade himself in the house for days if that’s what it takes.

A sudden wet thud against one of their windows makes him turn around, squinting his eyes in suspicion. He approached the glass and sure enough John’s standing right outside, squeezing more snow between his hands to make another ball.

“Do you really think throwing snowballs at me is the right way to earn my forgiveness, after what you’ve just done?” Gale asks him as he opens the window, shivering at the chilly air that hits him.

“Didn’t think you’d like to call someone to fix a hole if I threw a stone,” John answers. “Come on, Buck! What you want me to say?”

“I want you to say you’re sorry. But like you mean it, not like it’s a joke!”

“Ok, ok! I’m sorry I hit you with a snowball, ok?”

“You hit me after you promised you wouldn’t!” Gale reiterates. “You saw I was wearing my new coat, you told me you would let me walk past unharmed, you even made the others promise and then you hit me! In the back, like the traitor you are!”

“I’m sorry,” John repeats and this time there’s true regret on his cold flushed face. “I didn’t think you’d get this pissed off, I really wanted you to join the game and I thought maybe if I hit you you would’ve thrown one back and played with us, that’s it.”

“And you couldn’t just ask?” Gale demands in disbelief. “You couldn’t just say hey Buck, wanna come play with us?”

“You would’ve said yes?” John asks, puzzled.

“Well maybe not in that exact moment but yeah! I just needed to change into some more sportive clothes like you were all wearing, not my fucking brand new wool coat!” Gale exclaims, exasperated.

“I’m an idiot?” John tries.

“Yes, you are.”

“Can I still be your idiot and come inside to warm you up and earn your forgiveness?”

Gale sigh. “You may,” he concedes, and goes to unlock the door. John’s in front of him in a second, puppy eyes still on but with a grin. “Hi,” he says, going for a kiss before Gale can stop him.

“You better hope the coat comes out of all of this unscathed or I swear to God I’ll kill you and use your skin to keep me warm this winter,” Gale tells him, as menacing as he can muster.

Without hesitation, John responds, “God, I love it when you talk dirty to me.”

what i wrote in 2024

thank you @mundanememory for tagging me! i'll tag @kittenjonas @ridingupsaturn and @interdisciplinary-disaster if you want to :)

i'm going to link everything on ao3 but heads up that everything is locked to registered users only (lock your rpf!) so you'll need to be logged in to see it.

not in chronological order but broken up by category:

standalone ao3 works

with patience, that of saints: mutual pining rum my beloved

build a fire in this house: established tadejonas via outside pov attila

relief, it knocks me over when you talk: vaguely established tadejonas, post vuelta 2023.

mi corazón, latiendo por ti: jonas/juan vuelta 2023 first date

still believe in summer days: established tadejonas domesticity post-itzulia crash and pre-giro. my most kudo'd fic and tied for my favorite thing i wrote this year.

cycle prompt tuesday prompt fills (all on tumblr as well)

stained glass variation of the truth: jonas/tadejonas, "color" prompt. the start of my descent into second person pov madness.

wondering (are you my best friend?): jonas-focused second person, "friendship" prompt

hold you tight (like the moon in the arms of the sky): established wout/jonas/christophe early-season, "technology" prompt

i'll build a fire, you fetch the water: established tadejonas offseason cooking together, "extra" prompt. honestly probably one of my favorite cpt fills that i did.

to my word now i'll be true: tadejonas "read" prompt, second person pov strikes again. this was fun to write.

the game is on again: remco/matteo "play" prompt, mini golf shenanigans.

lining's silver, grass is greener (i'm on my way): established wout/jonas/christophe round 2, "illness" prompt

in love with you (just something humans do): tadejonas "warm" prompt. tadej is really into jonas's unshaved legs, i don't make the rules.

there's only 1 you prompt fills

an indentation in the shape of you: pippo/jonas "gentle" prompt. we all saw that tirreno press conference. the ones who get it get it.

been lookin' at you (since half past two): jonas/juan "spare" prompt

touch my soul (you know how): matteo/jonas "touch" prompt. half matteo/jonas, half jonas character study. longest thing i wrote this year and tied for my favorite.

happy (for a love that felt right): mikkel/jonas "secret" prompt. the world needed mikkel/jonas and i am but a humble servant. mads pov i love you.

tour de france fanwork classification

not going to list these all individually because there's 20 of them but this was semi-inspired by @mundanememory's droplets idea - wrote for each of the @wtfanworkclassification prompts and limited the word count to the length of the corresponding stage in kilometers. all of them are on both tumblr and ao3. this was insanely hard, much harder than i anticipated it would be when i started because of some irl stuff that was going on at the same time. took me way longer than the actual tour de france - the final work was posted the same day the vuelta started - but i'm very proud of how this turned out. not all the fills are my favorite thing i've ever written but it let me play with a lot of random ideas i'd been fiddling with, so that's fun. what the fuck is a kilometer, baby!

cycling rpf drabble advent calendar fills

when the sun came up (you were looking at me): jonsa/urška, implied ot4 with tadej and trine. domestic fluff for urška's birthday.

and after that, who knows what else?: jonas/mørkøv, soon-to-be inappropriate workplace relationship as if jonas cares

my year in review: ao3 says i published 39 works in 2024 for a total of 17,782 words, which is kind of crazy to me considering the vast majority of what i posted was less than 1k words, including 18 works under 200 words. if we include a few of the bits and bobs i posted unfinished on tumblr (like the trick or treat ask game) then it goes up a bit but probably not by much.

top 3 ships/tags: most common ship was (by far) tadejonas with 16 tags, then matteo/jonas with 4 and a bunch more with two. most common tags: established relationship, 2024 tour de france, and pov second person, which tracks lol. only posted 7 things on ao3 without jonas tagged, and really only 4 of those don't have anything to do with him, so. shrug emoji. i also started (i think?) 5 new ship tags on ao3 so that's fun.

something i'm proud of: generally speaking the to1u fills (especially the matteo/jonas one) and the post-itzulia tadejonas fic are my favorite things i wrote and imo probably the best, probably because i tinkered with those the longest before posting. also proud of the tdf writing project i did, even if i'm not super proud of the individual fics.

writing goals for 2025:

i did a lot of very very short pieces last year which is fine, we write what we can write and i do like the fun challenge of working within word count limits and also just getting things across in fewer words - but i think in 2025 i want to try to focus on posting a few longer things. not like, crazy long - but i didn't post a single thing over 2k last year so we can start there. i've got a few things i've been working on that, if i can get them finished, would ideally be in the 5k-10k range.

i'd also like to try and be a bit better with consistency but i don't really know what that looks like so i don't have a hard and fast goal on that. but posting at least one thing a month is not unreasonable so maybe. we'll see.

not just related to my own writing but i want to be a better fic reader/commentor this year - and also better at replying to comments on my own fics. again, no hard and fast goals but that's something i want to focus on.

god this is so long, i'm so sorry. happy 2025 and here's to another year of rpf'ing around the sun 🫡

[caeli0306]

Hello! Welcome to the unhinged record of my writing and other obsessions

Hello! I'm Caeli. I'm 23 and a journalist by day, rabid Fourth Wing/Empyrean and Star Wars fan by night. FW got me back in to reading fantasy, and then IF left me with a crippling book hangover. I turned to writing fanfiction for the first time to try to get my mind off of it, and now I spend my days writing... and then go home at night and write some more.

My fics (all posted on AO3):

Completed:

Tales from the Airport Bathroom - Xaden/Violet spy/soldier AU almost entirely from Xaden's POV where Violet is Stab Happy and Xaden is a Simp, the meet cute is on an airplane, and Xaden gives wife guy vibes as Violet destroys her enemies. Completed, four chapters, 19.5k words. (1)(2)(3)(4)

the present, the past, and you in between - VERY angsty one shot from Xaden's POV where he reflects on his lifelong love for Violet. Completed, 1k words. (1)

Did Someone Say Shots? - One-shot College AU where Xaden thinks his feelings are unrequited but has to look out for Violet on an evening where she goes a little crazy with the Fireball shots. Completed, 10k words. (1)

Did Someone Say Roadtrip? - A short prequel to Did Someone Say Shots? based on the RQ War Games drabble prompt fics that were getting posted for the 1 year anniversary. Completed, 1.1k words. (1)

Did Someone Say Vacation? - A sequel of sorts to Did Someone Say Shots? that can be read on its own, where Xaden is vulnerable, Violet is emotional intelligent, and 🌶️. Completed, 12.7k words (1)

Violet Sorrengail's Guide to Spinning a Scandal - Xaden/Violet Modern Day AU where Violet is a political crisis consultant and Xaden is running for office. Mutual hatred turns to mutual pining, and of course, scorching sexual tension. 🌶️ eventually. Completed, 71k words. (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)

cold woman - A very short character study one-shot of our favorite Lilith Sorrengail. Spoilers for end of Iron Flame. Completed, 1k words. (1)

in the eye of the beholder - Mira's POV of Violet and Xaden's budding relationship, plus some sibling bonding (beat up and drinking) time with Brennan. Major spoilers for both books. Completed, 7.1k words. (1)

In-progress:

castles crumbling - Xaden/Violet assassin-spy/soldier AU, aka the extended version of Tales from the Airport Bathroom. In-progress, chapter 20 posted 12/28, 157.1k words and counting. (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)

Danger Zone - Xaden/Violet Top Gun AU. In-progress, chapter 2 posted 10/28, 11.5k words and counting. (1)(2)

Xaden Riorson's Guide to Surviving a Scandal - aka VSGTSAS from Xaden's POV. While this can be read separately from VSGTSAS, it would be better if you read it after reading the original fic. In -progress, chapter 1 posted 10/25, 5.4k words and counting. (1)

On hiatus:

Swan Song - 2nd gen fic following Xaden and Violet's second daughter, Fen, as she tries to figure out who - or what - killed her sister Nora in a world where Tyrrendor is independent and the venin have been defeated for 25 years. Featuring the fan favorite Aidan Matthias, Rhiannon's adopted son with Tara, a brand new squad, and a squad leader with a very familiar name. Chapter 13 posted 4/14, 72k words and counting, on hiatus indefinitely. (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)

Addendum - Companion piece for Swan Song. A series of one-shots expanding on the background of my Swan Song fic and giving perspective from different characters' POV's, especially Nora's. Chapter 3 posted 3/5, 4.6k words and counting, updated sporadically depending on story needs. (1)(2)(3)

Things to know:

Update Schedule:

I don't have one! Like I mentioned in my intro, I am a journalist by day, which means I already do a lot of writing on a daily basis. I love it, but that also means that during busy news cycles I might not have the time or the desire to write. I do this for fun and because I love sharing the worlds in my head with other people, but my first priority will always be myself. If I haven't updated in a week or two, that doesn't mean they'll never be updated! I will always put a note on my Tumblr if I'm putting something on hiatus, along with an estimate for when I plan to start updating again.

What I post about

In order to keep myself accountable, I post frequent updates on my writing progress here. As I said above, I write these stories because I love them, but also because I love sharing them. This helps me stay on track, while also letting people know the general progress of the next chapter.

How long will castles crumbling be?

TBD! Tales from the Airport Bathroom was no plan, just vibes. castles crumbling is the extended version, so it will obviously be longer. While I do have a general plan for this here extended version, I don't have a chapter-by-chapter outline the same way I do with Swan Song. This is partially because I'm still going back and forth on how parts of this story will go, but also because I want to try writing in a bit of a less structured way than I have been doing. I can't imagine it will be shorter than 25 chapters, but honestly, who knows? I'll update this when I have a better idea.

When will you update Addendum again? When should I read the different Addendum chapters?

I created Addendum because I wanted to give people insight into Nora without interrupting the flow of Swan Song. I expanded this concept by adding in a Violet POV chapter as well. These provide context to certain interactions, foreshadow future events, or otherwise flesh out the world in which Fen and the other characters inhabit. In short, it will be updated as needed.

Nora's First Addendum - Read after Chapter 4 of Swan Song

Nora's Second Addendum - Read after Chapter 7 of Swan Song

Violet's First Addendum - Read after Chapter 9 of Swan Song

Lastly, I love hearing from people who read my fics. Feel free to message me whenever, whether its to provide constructive criticism, ask a question, offer up a writing prompt, or just to say hi!

[e-dubbc11]

Thank You for 400!!

Celebration Anyone?

Pic isn’t mine. Found it on Pinterest.

Greetings lovelies from my little blog!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who follows me, comments and reblogs my fics, throws a ♥️ at anything I post/write or sends a tag game my way.

To my pocket friends that I chat with on the regular and sometimes not so regular, you always bring a smile to my face when I see your messages.

I know interaction has been down here in the Tumblr-verse lately but I’ve decided to do a celebration anyway. I hope you’ll come say hello and drop something in my inbox ♥️

I don’t really have a name or a theme for this celebration so I’ll just say thank you again and the rules will be under the cut.

This isn’t limited to my followers, although I would love it if you did.

My two muses I write for are Matt Murdock and Billy Russo, although there are a few characters that I wouldn’t mind trying to write for ( Dean Winchester, Donald Pierce, Quinn McKenna, Brock Rumlow, but I’m really scared to. Maybe I just need a nudge 🤣

Send in as many as you’d like

Fuck, Marry, Kiss (or Kill if you wanna make it interesting) I’ll do characters from the following…

MCU

Supernatural

Netflix Series ( DD, Punisher, Defenders)

Boyd Holbrook characters

Ben Barnes characters

Fall Activity Moodboard 🍁🍂🎃👻🍺

It’s getting to be my favorite time of the year in my neck of the woods. I love everything about autumn. This one is for mutuals only OR if you have ever reblogged and commented on any of my fics.

Send in any character with a fall activity (apple picking, Halloween related, cider tasting, etc.) and I’ll make a moodboard for you

Song Lyric Prompt

Full disclosure, I am not a new music girl. I probably stopped listening to newer music around 10 years ago. But I love anything from the 80’s thru early 2010’s. (I love older music too from the 60’s and 70’s)

Send me a character and a song lyric (from those time periods) and I’ll see what it inspires me to write

Miscellaneous

Send me a character plus a fluffy or smexy gif and I can try to write a drabble/fic based off of that gif

Pick a scene from a fic of mine and I’ll write it from the other person’s POV.

Prompt Lists

I’ll leave some prompt/dialogue lists below and if something strikes your fancy, send it on over with one of my muses (or challenge me with a new one from the above list) and I’ll see what I can do with it. Or if you have one in mind not on these lists, that’s absolutely fine also.

Confessions of Feelings

Kiss Prompts

Hurt/Comfort Dialogue/Prompts

Random Dialogue Prompts

Autumn/Fall Dialogue/Scenarios

I’ll keep this open until September 16 CLOSED

Again, thank you all for following me, for commenting on my fics, just all of the things! Nothing goes unnoticed, I promise you ♥️ Everyone’s support means a lot to me and I hope you continue to like the content I put out. ♥️

[quiet-nocturne]

okay so I've been seriously considering participating in febuwhump for royai (because whump = royai, obv, and I've been itching to write some angst/hurt/comfort), and earlier I was screaming over the prompts because they're so royai. Also, there's one for bees (day 9), which I can totally do a scene inspired by the bee scene in xfiles (*cackles, screams, jumps for joy*), as I will never shut up about how royai and mulder/scully are coded the same.

anyway, I was freaking out about this to my husband, who has to Deal With All My Shit (™), and I was reading him the list of prompts and at day 16 (came back wrong), he goes, "'Came back wrong'? That's so fullmetal alchemist." And I was like "right?????"

The prompts are so good - "suffering in silence"? "Killing in self defense"?? "Blood stained tiles"??? "You weren't meant to be there"???? "Not allowed to die"????? Like, royai, hello??????? *flails* I'm thinking I'll likely do drabbles, between a few hundred words to max 1k, just to keep it concise and not burn out (especially because I'm hoping to do the royai big bang as well - and I'm planning to have all the prompts done for febuwhump finished before the end of january, so it won't overlap). If I did my usual 5-7k words for each day, I'd die lmao. Some self-preservation is needed.

anyway, febuwhump is likely imminent lmao. #feralroyaigoblin 🙋‍♀️

[finitevoid]

these prompts are so fucking funny and I absolutely MUST know your answers to the following for any of the Core Four (or if another character speaks to you, go for it)....... 13, 16, 22, 24, 29, 34 and 38

@sparrowmoth THANK YOU SPARROW <33 THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN. i threw some twst in the mix for spice, but its mostly various combos of the rotten ot4. i, uh. wrote a bunch of little drabbles. bon apetit

13. Who would smoke weed in a confessionary?

"I mean, does she have a rule against it?" Ruggie asks, wiggling his fingers. His hair is mussed-- artfully, though Riddle is loathe to admit it-- and his clothes are rumpled. Likely from the manhandling Riddle gave him as he dragged him outside by the wrist a few minutes ago. Ruggie's chin is balanced on his palm, elbow leaning on his bent knees, looking for all purposes like the patron saint of not-giving-a-damn.

"Well--" Riddle puffs his chest out, before deflating in defeat. "No. Not that specifically. But--! You got thrown out of a church!"

Ruggie tips his face towards the sky, squinting in thought. His legs are splayed over the church steps, and the stained glass behind him is bathing him all kinds of colors. It's beautiful; it makes him understand the artists of yore, trying to capture their muse. Riddle hates it with a passion.

"Worth it."

"You are such a bad influence!" Riddle cries. "I mean-- drugs! Illicit substances! In a place of worship!"

"I'm s'possed to confess my crimes, right? What better way than by showin' him exactly what I've been doing?"

Riddle shoves at his shoulder. "You're the worst!"

"Yeah, but Queenie," he sways into Riddle's space, filling the air in front of Riddle's face with warmth, with the smell of him. "Which one of us is out here with me?"

Riddle smacks the back of his head. Ruggie just laughs.

16. Who would be best at drag?

Jay poses dramatically in the mirror, the eyeliner and glitter covering his eyes anything but tasteful. He buries a hand in his hair, fluffing the ends up, pursing his lips in a mockery of coyness.

Behind him, Mal cackles like a hyena. Evie is surveying her work with a critical eye, sweeping him over. Stepping closer to him, she grips him by the straps of his remarkably stupidly short dress. When he's standing still enough for her tastes, she sweeps a necklace from her pocket, glittering silver.

It's cold around his neck. He turns to survey himself again, eyeing the way it brings out the warm tones in his skin. "Oh, yeah," he says, cocking a hip. "I look hot!"

Mal buries her face in her pillow to muffle the hysterical screams of mirth she's giving out. But what does she know, anyway?

22. Who lets the intrusive thoughts win constantly?

Evie eyes herself critically in the pitifully small screen of her phone. She has the camera on, pointed at herself, squinting past pixels and smudges to get a good look at her appearance. She curses herself for forgetting her compact; she's in the trenches at this very fancy, very Auradon party without it.

Well, she needs to reapply her lipstick, that much is obvious. And she should probably excuse herself to the little girl's room to re-do her hair. It's starting to look a little... frizzy. And oh, God, is that a pimple--?!

Carlos shouts, with the kind of rage that levels happy little kingdoms like Auradon, "Oh my God, you did not just drop your fucking pickle into my drink!"

Mal laces her hands behind her head, smirking in self-satisfaction. "Well, you said you didn't want to eat it."

"I don't want to drink it either, you little shit--"

"I can always feed it to you like a baby bird?"

Carlos stands, grabs his water glass, and dumps it over Mal's head. She gasps, her perfectly curled and style hair plastered to her skin. Her eyes are flaring, but she's stifling laughter, even as she launches herself over the table with a shout of, "De Vil--!"

Evie sighs into her hands. Well, at least she's not worried about how she looks, anymore.

24. Who goes to a haunted place only to start yelling at the ghosts to try to challenge them?

"Come on out, little ghosties!" Mal shouts. Jay presses a palm over her mouth, trying and failing to quiet her. She merely grips his palm and yanks it away from her face. "The big, mean, evil faerie is here! Come and get me! I'm not scared of you! My mom's the mistress of all evil, bitches! You're nothing!"

"Big?" Jay asks, raising an eyebrow.

Mal whirls on him, jabbing a finger to his chest. "Say that again, and I'll turn you into a ghost."

He holds up his hands in surrender, but his grin gives up the game. "Girl, you like me way too much for that."

"Girl?"

"What, you want me to call you pet names in front of the ghosties? What would you prefer? Baby? Sweetheart?" He slowly wraps his arms around her middle, nosing against her cheek as she hisses putridly at him. "Honey-bunches? Schnookums?"

She guffaws, shoving his face away with her hand. "You're gonna wish you were a ghost by the time I'm done with you, asshole!" She squirms, but he holds steady. When a ghost-- an actor in a morphsuit, as far as he can tell-- jerks out at them, she jumps about a foot in the air with a two-toned, piercing shriek.

She calms, cheeks blazing pink as she stares at the actor in embarrassment. As if it's, like, cringe of her to fall for the whole game of a haunted house?

"Come on, miss evil-faeirie, let's not get thrown out of the haunted house, yeah?"

She snarls at him again, but holds his hand all the way to the end.

29. Who gets arrested the quickest?

Worth it, Evie mouths. She's visible through the window of the cop car, cheek spattered with a splash of dark blood. She looks utterly at home, sighing in lazy contentment. Then, with a start, she sits up, opening the door.

"Puppy? Take my bag, will you?" She says, handing him her blue, sequined purse. He takes it, nearly pitching forward from the sheer unexpected weight. He let's out a loud, annoyed groan, hefting it up. It clinks audibly.

"How many knives?"

"In there? Oh, honey, too many to count."

The cop comes around the corner, slamming the door shut. Evie laughs into her palm, eyes little half-moon circles of mirth. He says, "I don't want to see you again, Grimhilde."

Sickly sweet, Evie drawls, "Of course not, officer."

34. Who’s been accused of murder?

The lunch table goes deathly quiet. Jay meets Evie's eyes first, then Carlos', then Mal's. As one, they turn to face Chad Charming. He's holding his lunch tray defiantly, sticking his chin out with an arrogant swagger.

"Dude. You realize nobody can die on the Isle, right?"

Chad balks at them. "Really? Oh, thank God. So you haven't killed anyone! I was starting to get worried."

"What?" Evie says. "Worried?"

Mal says, "Do you really think a bunch of Villain Kid's wouldn't take advantage of the fact that corpses don't last?"

Chad's starting to go chalky white.

Evie balances her chin on her hand, sighing wistfully. "I miss being able to get kill the creepy men. It was cathartic, you know?"

"One time I threw Harry into the sea," Carlos adds, tapping away at his phone.

Chad's eyes are shuttered with open fear. Swallowing visibly, he manages, "But not you, Jay?"

He raises an eyebrow. "Why do you think Carlos threw Harry into the sea?"

38. Who accidentally ate 400mg worth of edibles?

"I'm fine," Carlos slurs, sinking into the couch. It's a considerable feat, considering that, before, he'd been sunk so far into it that you could barely see him. He's dressed in one of Jay's sweatshirts, hood pulled up over his head and drawstring tight. His cheeks are flushed and his pupils are blown wide, and he keeps blinking, slowly, and then startling up.

"Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, you really don't seem fine." Mal replies. "Why does it smell like weed? Is that why you're like this?"

"Did you know," Carlos says sharply, with the kind of abrupt cadence of someone deeply inconvenienced, "that cannabis can be cooked into baked goods?"

"Uh oh, you're being a smartass." She presses the back of her hand to his forehead, and he whines. "Very ominous. Never a good sign."

"Shut the fuck up," he mutters, yanking the nearest blanket over his head.

Mal leans over the back of the couch, pitching herself forward. The couch digs into her stomach, her feet hovering off the ground as her face lands in the mess of blankets and pillows on the couch. It's almost nestlike, honestly. She pulls herself up onto her elbows, legs dangling free.

"Did the puppy eat too many pot brownies?" She cooes, reaching out to tap condescendingly at where she thinks his cheek is. He snarls wordlessly. She snorts. "Stay here. I'll get your dumbass some water and food. It'll sober you up."

As she turns toward the kitchen, so weakly she can barely hear it, there's a soft hiss of, "Thanks."

pride month drabble challenge fill #10

prompts: 25. Questioning/Discovery + 16. Tomorrow + 15. "How do I know you're real?"

fandom: techincally XCOM: Enemy Within but really XCOM 2 (gen verse)

TWs/CWs: implied torture, memory loss, loss of sense of self

The Commander knows there's something up when they meet Central, even here, stifled by professionalism and fear. They know it by their pulse jumping, in their mouth drying, in the weird feeling in their stomach.

At night, they lie in their small room, staring up at the ceiling, and they wonder.

(He feels familiar, somehow.)

On bad days, the Commander wants to hide away and curl into him, bury their face in his neck, but that's not allowed. So they duck into a bathroom instead and try to compose themselves, eyes squeezed shut, imagining they're home.

(They aren't going home.)

The Commander learns about him-- and it's weird how sometimes hunches they had about things, even really specific things, turn out right. Where he went to college, his favorite drink, his actual name.

They wonder about what he might say if they ask for what they want. Do they want that? What does it make them? The Commander isn't sure, but there's time to learn.

Maybe just not here. Not with him, anyway. God, they think, that hurts for some reason. Like a mourning, like grief.

When the base is attacked, fire and sirens and staffers brawling each under inexplicably, the Commander half except to find Central dead, to lose the base entirely. They don't know why.

But the Hologlobe returns to life, and their senior staff are near them, and they've made it through the darkest hour.

They hope so, at least.

That night, like every night now, the Commander lies in bed and stares at the ceiling and wonders. They don't get very far into their reverie, though, because there's a knock at their door. They hesitantly peer out at --

"Uh, hey, Commander," says Central.

They pull him into the room by his arm and then into a hug. He's a little stiff and unsure, but they don't let go.

(In their mind's eye, they see his corpse and their body shakes.)

When they finally let go, step back, Central is flush about the ears. "I wanted to check on you," he manages to say. "After everything today..."

"I'm glad you did," they answer. "C'mon, sit."

He takes a hesitant seat at their desk, they sit on the end of their bed. For a while they just exist in silence, and then the Commander asks, "What will you do, when it's over?"

Central looks thoughtful. "It's hard to imagine that," he says.

It won't happen, says some dark part of them. You're here forever, running in circles.

"Try," the Commander says.

Central closes his eyes. "I'd like to move out into the country," he says. "My folks have a farm; maybe take it over when they're gone..."

He goes on, telling them about growing up there, how it was an escape of sorts from bad parents, the summer nights, and slow living.

They listen intently, imagining. They want to ask if they could come with him. They hold their tongue instead. There will be no after XCOM for them. No need to...

To what? Get his hopes up? Get their hopes up? He probably doesn't even swing their way. They...

As they listen, the Commander realizes they do. They do like him, like that. It doesn't matter because they can't be a thing, but they know now. They guess that's important to be able to know.

(The realization never sticks.)

In the in-between, when there is only pain and pain and pain and pain, but before everything is wiped clean again, the Commander remembers the truth, swears this time they'll hold on to it.

(They say that everytime.)

Slowly, they lose more, but they don't realize it. They can't, not while under, and when out they have no time to.

Their world bleaches white, no past, no self, until eventually there is nothing of who they were left. All of it dripping away through pale shaking fingers

There is only who they are.

And then that is taken too.

All that remains is a title, a purpose, a sense of foreboding, a determination.

(I am the Commander.)

It is near the end. They lie with Central, breathing softly into the pitch dark. They've found a Volunteer. The Gollop Chamber is done tomorrow.

They look at their XO, watch his body rise and fall with each breath and they ask, so quietly, "How do I know you're real?"

There come no answer other than Central mumbling incoherent in his sleep.

The Commander's head aches, the pain increasing as they try to think a little more about their question, try to wonder why they even asked, until--

What were they thinking about? They don't remember.

It's okay.

(It isn't.)

Tracey’s Birthday Fic-a-Thon!

Hi everybody! I never did this before so excuse how lackluster this post looks.

For those who don’t know, I’m turning 15+16 on July 17th. I was wondering… if you have time of course, would write a some feel-good (or feel-angst) one shots, head cannons, or drabbles about some of my favorite men (& women) candy that I write or blog about.

“I love everything about you.”

“I know that you didn’t want anything for your birthday, but I got this for you!”

With best friend at a sports game and the kiss cam comes and we kiss. We secretly crushed on each other.

Birthday pool party and Love interest/friend shows up unannounced.

Whatever you want. (except i*cest, race play, use of slurs, etc.) Just be respectful basically.

This is open to everyone, but I’m tagging the people that I often see write fics so if you wanna join, I’d love it! And I am all about no pressure, so submit when you can and shoot me a message/tag whenever. 😊

Day 23: Skiing

Modern AU, wc 1307

“Come work for the ski season,” Marge had told him. “It will be fun,” she’d added, like a fucking liar.

There’s nothing funny. It’s an absolute fucking nightmare.

From his experience Gale already knew people are prone to hurt themselves in the most idiot ways but apparently when you throw ice, winter sports, and alcohol in the mix the situation can only get much worse. He’s been here a week and he’s seen more contusions, set more shoulders back into place than he ever thought possible — and he’s gonna be here til New Year, he dreads to think what else is gonna happen.

Today it’s been calmer than usual, though. It’s two days before Christmas and he’s only had to check on a kid who slipped on the icy floor of the parking lot and fell face-first to the ground; he got away with just a little cut over his eyebrow that Gale assured him won’t scar, and a lollipop for his troubles. Now Gale’s just been filing paperwork for the past few hours, figuring people are more careful on the slopes today since Christmas is close and spending it in the sickbay with a concussion it’s not the best.

He should’ve known, it never pays to be optimistic.

A guy in full skiing attire, minus the skis, barges in, breathless. “We need a doctor!” He shouts and Gale flinches. With a defeated sigh he stands up from behind his table and walks to the guy, putting on his gloves. “I’m here sir, what seems to be the problem?”

The guy, a bit shorter than him and with a bright orange mirrored ski mask on his forehead, looks at him panicked like he has no idea why Gale’s talking to him. “No, not me! My friend, they’re taking him inside!” He says.

Who’s they? Gale barely has the time to think before three more guys barge in, two of them carrying the weight of the third between them. “I’m fine, guys, I’m perfectly fine!” The third guy keeps repeating but from the amount of blood smeared on his face Gale doesn’t think he really is; he gestures for the guy’s friends to sit him on a bed and goes to him.

“Sir, can you tell me your name?” He asks in his most professional voice, assessing the situation: the guy’s nose is bleeding profusely but it doesn’t seem broken, he’s pretty lucky. The worst seems to be his right shoulder, hanging at a very wrong angle.

“I’m Bucky,” the guy says. “What’s your name, doc?”

Gale ignores him. “Can you tell me what happened, Bucky? Did you hit your head when you fell?”

“I did not fell!” Bucky says, indignant. “I was minding my own business on the slopes when a fucking kid came barreling at me like a cannonball,” he adds, tries to wipe his bloodied nose with his right hand and hisses in pain when he can’t get to move it. “I dove out of the way so he wouldn’t get hurt, but I lost my balance.”

“He smacked his face in the snow,” one of his friends offers, panicked voice with a slight Chicago accent. “And then he rolled downhill for a bit. When he stood up there was blood everywhere and his shoulder was… like that.”

Gale hums, pouring some disinfectant on a cotton swab to carefully clean Bucky’s nose; the guy hisses again but stays still under Gale’s ministrations and he has to admit it, he’s pretty good looking without all the blood. Blue eyes wide with adrenaline, a slightly crooked nose that’s been broken before but today got lucky and only suffered a cut along its bridge, strong cheekbones and wavy dark hair peeking out of his beanie.

“The nose’s not broken, but the cut will probably scar,” Gale tells him apologetic. “I’ll relocate your shoulder now, ok? Take a deep breath,” he adds and it’s the only warning he gives Bucky before snapping the joint back into place. Bucky groans, then starts laughing like it’s being punched out of him. “Jeez, Buck, warn a lady first,” he says, voice a bit slurred all of a sudden and that worries Gale.

He finishes putting Bucky’s arm in a sling and picks up a penlights to shine it in his face, tells him to follow the light with his eyes and he obliges, docile like a dog waiting for treats. His pupils are still wide, eyes a bit unfocused but Gale thinks it’s for the pain, not for a concussion. Still, better be safe than sorry.

“I don’t think you have a concussion, Bucky,” he tells him. “But I’d still like to keep you here under observation until tomorrow morning, if it’s ok with you.”

“Stayin’ here with you all night Buck? Feels like I’m the luckiest guy alive,” Bucky shoots back.

“You are lucky,” Gale points out offering him a glass of water and some painkillers. “You only dislocated your shoulder and cut your nose, it could’ve been a lot worse. You need to be more careful on the snow, not only of yourself but of the others around you. You have no idea how many accidents I’ve seen since I started working here.”

“Must’ve been this,” he says cheerfully, fishing out of the pocket of his snowsuit a damp two dollars bill. “My lucky deuce.”

Gale gives him a polite smile in response, then turns to his friends. “You can come pick him up tomorrow morning, if there’s any problem before that I’ll need a number to call.”

“Here,” the third guy says, writing it on a piece of paper.

Bucky looks at him, wounded. “Johnny! Are you trying to steal the hot doctor from me? What about your boyfriend?” He laments and both Gale and the other guy, Johnny, blush fiercely. The other two laugh, and Chicago guy shakes his head. “Don’t worry Bucky, I’m not jealous.”

“I am!” Bucky protests again, and his friends take it as their clue to get out of Gale’s hair, waving goodbye to Bucky and telling him they’ll miss him on the slopes.

Once they’re alone, Bucky shoots him a lopsided grin. “Hey, handsome, you come here often?” He says with a wink and Gale knows it’s the adrenaline and the drugs but still he can’t help but snort.

“I kinda work here,” he indulges him. “How are you feeling? You need to tell me if your head starts hurting.”

“I might lie just to have those hands of yours on me once more, Buck,” Bucky continues, valiantly.

“Name’s not Buck, it’s Gale.”

Bucky looks outraged. “Nah, you don’t look like a Gale. You’re Buck the hot doc,” he says with another grin.

With a faint blush on his cheeks, Gale ducks his head. “Well, call me as you wish: as long as you don’t fake being sick just to get more attention,” he says and Bucky places his good hand on his heart like a good Boy Scout. He stays quiet for a while, leaving Gale to his paperwork, then his voice rises once again.

“Hey Buck? If I’m good and I don’t have a concussion come morning, can I have your number?”

“Why?”

“Mh, cause you’re hot? And I don’t think I’ll be able to ski again during this holiday so I might just stay alone in my hotel room, bored, and texting the hot doctor from the ski clinic might be a good way to fill my free time. Especially if the hot doctor is also bored in his clinic and needs a fun pastime.”

“Like what?”

Bucky smiles so wide it almost blinds Gale. “I can think of a few things I won’t need two fully functional arms for,” he offers.

This time Gale smiles back. “We’ll see,” he says; maybe he’ll have to thank Marge, after all.

[Guidelines] + [MCD?] + [Timeline] + [Discord server link]

Before you click the Discord link, please be advised that we've decided to make the fest 18+. Thanks!

it's here, it's live, wowie! send us an ask if you have any questions about the guidelines.

Reminder that prompting begins May 20 (in 16 days). See you soon!

sincerely yours, @bluesundaycake & @malfoylestrange (SiriuslySapphic)

edit;;; because I am a tumblr newb, I did not realise navigation tabs would not work properly on mobile. Please see below the cut here for everything linked above!

Guidelines

General Fest guidelines

Fest participants and enthusiasts are welcome to join us on Discord here.

Due to the nature of the theme and for the mods’ sanity, this fest will be 18+ only. 

The AO3 collection can be found here.

The prompt list can be found here [link to be provided]

Your fest mods are BlueSundayCake and SiriuslySapphic. Banner credits go to BlueSundayCake.

Prompting guidelines

Submit your prompts via the Google form [link to be provided]. You may submit as many prompts as you wish. 

You can submit prompts without intending to participate in the fest afterwards. 

MCD must not feature among the DNW/squicks. This goes against the spirit of the fest.

As this is a HP fest, all prompts should be for this fandom. 

All eras, all characters are welcome. 

Claiming guidelines

Claiming will be done via Google form. [Link to be provided]

You may only claim one prompt at a time. If you submit your work before the deadline, you may claim a second prompt. 

If you do not plan to complete your claim, please contact the fest mods so we can free your prompt for someone else. 

This is an anonymous fest, please do not share your claim with others.

Submission guidelines

No minimum word count. Drabbles, short fics, multi-chapter fics — all are welcome. 

All works must be complete upon submission. 

You must add the fest mod account so we can change the publishing date when your work is revealed. No other changes will be brought to your work, but if significant tags are missing, the fest mods will contact you to double-check. 

You may gift your work to the prompter, but as a courtesy if you intend to do so you will need to respect their DNW/squicks.   

The death must be permanent (so not like a Voldemort-death from 1981).  

All works must select the Major Character Death archive warning. 

Betas are encouraged but not mandatory. If you are not having your work beta-read, please be sure to do a spelling, punctuation, and grammar check before submitting. If you are having your work beta-read, please credit your beta in the author notes.

Art submission guidelines

Due to the ambiguous nature of sharing art pieces, we will only be sharing any works featuring excessive violence on tumblr and AO3, not on Discord.

Any fanwork not featuring gore, violent death, etc will be shared on our Discord server.

This is in an attempt to comply with the ambiguity of Discord Community guidelines.

Posting guidelines

Posting begins on September 01, 2022. Depending how many works are submitted, a number of them will be posted daily anonymously.  

Works will be shared on tumblr and on the fest Discord server.

Author reveals will happen a few days after the last works are posted, in the form of a master list on tumblr.

MCD?

What is Major Character Death (MCD)? 

This tag is used as content warning on AO3. It implies the death of an important character in your story.

For the purpose of this fest, we are looking for fanworks that involve the death of a major character in your story. It doesn’t have to be canon! 

There are no other restrictions on the content of the submitted fanworks. Dead Dove, dark, and grey themes are welcome. Please tag accordingly.

What is a major character?

A major character is a character that is central to your fanwork. They do not need to be a main character from the source material. Typically, major characters are those closest to the main character, or the main character themself. A character that does not appear or is not mentioned at all, for example, does not count as a major character.

Prompting: May 20, 2022 to June 20, 2022

22nd of May - Is This The Real Life? 

A list of real event/canon timeline prompts from Freddie’s life. How real you want to keep them, however, is entirely up to you!

Down in flames

Freddie is 16 years old when he leaves boarding school. Does it have something to do with the school gardener, Sanjay? Did he flunk his exams or did he not even sit them? Is one thing connected to the other? Does he really find a boyfriend when he goes to stay with his aunt in Mumbai (then Bombay)? Either way, there’s the small matter of his parents finding out about all of it... (Sources: x x )

When Freddie met Kenny

Freddie is a guest on Kenny Everett's radio show in spring 1974. Freddie is living with Mary, Kenny is married. Two gay men, deep in the closet. To no one's surprise, they hit it off immediately. (Source: x )

But when did he? 

At some point during his relationship with Mary, prior to his relationship with David, Freddie had already begun sleeping with men. But how and when did that first happen? Cottaging in London? On tour somewhere in the world? Your guess is as good as ours… 

Flying High

Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll. Like all rock bands of their time, Queen doesn’t escape the copious amounts of cocaine in the entertainment industry for long. Somewhere on tour in America, perhaps, Freddie is first introduced to it. Where? How? 

Hide your tears

Jim said that he tried to be strong for Freddie and only cried in private, so as not to burden Freddie with his feelings. But this time, he is found. 

One-liners:

In 1969, Freddie doesn’t know how to cook an egg and neither does Roger (Source: x )

In 1977, Freddie meets Joe while on tour in Boston and starts dating him behind David's back

In 1990, Brian and Freddie work on 'The Show Must Go On' (Source: x )

In a year of your choice, Jim reminisces about his fondest moment(s) with Freddie

In 1976, Freddie and Mary end their relationship 

In 1984, Winnie gives Freddie a wedding ring (middle of the post: x )

In the late 60s, Freddie agrees to model for an Ealing Art School fashion show, but panics and flees the runway (Source: x )

In 1974, Freddie is strip-searched upon arrival in Australia (Source: x )

In 1982, Freddie and Roger go shopping in Amsterdam (Source: x )

In 1978, Freddie swings from a chandelier - naked (Source: x )

23rd of May - Is It Just Fantasy?

A list of AU prompts to spark your imagination. Take them and run with them or change them up, just have fun!

Make your dreams come true

Freddie hasn't been very fortunate in his life, until he finds a very special oil lamp, and rubs it just the right way. 

Beautiful stranger

Freddie meets an alluring stranger at a masquerade ball, who has more secrets than he can hide behind a mask. But Freddie has some of his own. 

Thicker than water 

Freddie agrees to a dreadful fate in order to save his little sister from the very same. Fortunately, he has friends who are more than willing to help him, but can they? Or are they, too, in danger?

Diamonds are a boy's best friend

Freddie is the prized jewel of the court, a skilled belly-dancer and entertainer, but he may also be plotting murder and getting away with it. 

Almost Real

In a distant future, humans have all but done away with face to face interaction. Humanity largely lives online. Children grow up isolated and live with only their families well into young adulthood. Cybersex is the new normal, although some families take a puritanical approach for fear of addiction. One day, impossibly, a real life young man falls through the containment field in Freddie’s back garden. 

One-liners:

This plane is going to crash (Freddie knew there was a reason he hated flying) 

Shipwrecked on an island (Freddie could never bear to be alone, but luckily/unfortunately for him…) 

Hunger Games AU (Freddie is so dead) 

A terrible road accident (Everyone is so dead, or are they?) 

Blind Date AU (Freddie's best friend is so dead for setting him up with this person… or are they…) 

Bank robbery (but who are the robbers and who are the hostages?) 

Magic AU ("Yer a wizard, Freddie!")

Film Noir AU (Secrets and cigarette holders) 

Interior Design AU (Does the carpet match the drapes?)

The Bodyguard AU (“And I will always love yooouuuu…”)

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

RULES & FAQ

⛔ Strictly No Hate ⛔

This is the NUMBER ONE RULE of the event, to ensure that everybody feels safe. No rudeness, provocations or hate aimed at creators or other commenters will be permitted, not on AO3 nor Tumblr.

Follow these steps if you receive a comment or ask that distresses you:

Do not engage. (You can take a screenshot as proof.)

Delete it. No ifs, no buts. Just delete it. (Don’t hesitate to block anon hate on Tumblr.)

Alert me ( @a-froger-epic ) or @aboutnothingness, who is lending me a hand to make sure all needs are attended, all questions are answered and everything runs smoothly. We are here to actively support you. We’ve got your back, and we will gladly talk to you and help you feel better.

If you choose to ignore this rule, your work may be removed from the event. We would hate to resort to that.

But what if one of the works has upset me?

Can the thing that upset you be tagged, but it wasn’t? Then please inform @a-froger-epic or @aboutnothingness, and we will bring it to the creator’s attention. (Remember to use the appropriate tags, everybody!)

Was the thing that upset you already tagged? Or is it perhaps simply the characterisation you find disagreeable? Then we suggest you click on the ‘back’ button, take a deep breath and remind yourself it's just fanfic.

Who can participate?

Anyone who is inspired by Freddie Mercury in any way shape or form. This event is open to all.

Can I combine prompts from different days?

By all means! We look forward to your futuristic Freddie-gets-kicked-out-of-boarding-school Maycury Film Noir AU. With leotards. Go crazy.

I'm not sure where my creation fits in, what day do I post it? 

The days, like the prompts, are only suggestions. We don't mind when you post it, as long as you post it! Even if it's two weeks late! 

Help, I've never posted fic before! 

Don't worry, we've got you! (And more importantly, we've got AO3 invites!) @aboutnothingness is more than happy to walk you through the process of setting up an account and is also offering her services as a beta.

I’m still too nervous to participate!

You can post anonymously to the collection. You can disable anon comments on your work. You can disable comments entirely and just collect the kudos. You can close anon asks on Tumblr temporarily. But most importantly, we are here for you and we want you here!

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

“I love the fact that I make people happy, in any form. Even if it’s just half an hour of their lives, in any way that I can make them feel lucky or make them feel good, or bring a smile to a sour face, that to me is worthwhile.”
