Roosmav fic recs part 4: Favorite AUs
See my previous fic rec lists here.
This list is pretty short, and I know that there are more AU fics in the fandom besides those I have listed here. The fics on this list had to meet the following criteria: 1. the setting is either completely different from the movies, or it's a major canon divergence, and 2. it's a type of AU that I personally like. :D I guess what I'm trying to say is that these recs are, as always, reflecting my personal tastes and not meant to put other writers or works down.
no snow in december (because we're in space) by Lake 1.5k, G, no archive warnings apply space au, christmas fic, fluff
Christmas morning with the ship's crew.
Even though this is a short fic, I really fell in love with the worldbuilding in this. (For anyone looking at this post after Christmas: I definitely think that this is worth reading even outside the holiday season!)
Coffee Corner by Brenda 4.5k, T, no archive warnings apply coffee shop au, fluff and humor
"Wow." Bradley's future husband frowns — very attractively — as he grabs an apron and puts it on, deftly tying it in the back. "Wow?" "Shit, did I say...sorry." Bradley wants to sink right into the ground. "I'm not...you're real, right?" Because Bradley's pretty sure he's still asleep and having the best dream of his life.
The 'fluff and humor' tag is on point – this is a really fun read, and I love smitten idiot Bradley.
I can't promise you anything, but I can tell you I'll never leave by othersideofthis 6.5k, T, no archive warnings apply western au
“Didn’t think you’d show your face around here again,” is the first thing Pete says when Rooster turns up at the ranch. Not “hello,” not “how you doing.” Not “don’t you know it’s been 15 years and I’ve thought about you every day.” No.
Did I make this list just so I get a reason to rec this fic? Maybe. I love western AUs and this is Top Tier writing. Perfect example of how to include canon elements in an AU setting.
Linear Flight by Fuddlewuddle 6.5k, E, no archive warnings apply pre-tgm canon divergence, shifter au
Bradley comes across an injured Peregrine Falcon a couple of hours after he's told that Mav has gone MIA. Caring for the bird, he slowly realises a few home truths he'd never fully understood before. Though the Peregrine Falcon ends up being more than he initially thought. And perhaps Mav wasn't as missing as everyone assumed he was.
This is really soft and sweet. Mav as a peregrine falcon is just perfect, and I really love the classic hurt/comfort trope where physical healing mirrors the characters' emotional state.
out of the blue by Lake 7k, E, no archive warnings apply merman Mav, soulmates, (bottom Mav)
When Bradley's soulmark appeared, his grandmother cursed Maverick to the ocean to keep them apart. Years later: reunion!!
I enjoy a good mermaid AU, and this one is so lovely. Great worldbuilding and smut, so it's no surprise that I love this fic.

In The Dark (BuckTommy Whump)
In The Dark (14,612 words) by NeverlandPoet Chapters: 9/9 Fandom: 9-1-1 (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Evan "Buck" Buckley/Tommy Kinard Characters: Evan "Buck" Buckley, Tommy Kinard, Vincent Gerrard, Howie "Chimney" Han, Henrietta "Hen" Wilson, Ravi Panikkar, Maddie Buckley Additional Tags: Whump, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Hurt Evan "Buck" Buckley, Hurt Tommy Kinard, Internalized Homophobia, Racism, Canon-Typical Violence, Firefighter Evan "Buck" Buckley, Firefighters, set after season 7, Character Study, POV Evan "Buck" Buckley, Major Character Injury, Fire, Slurs, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Good Sibling Maddie Buckley
Summary: Working under Captain Gerrard again is a shock for the 118, especially as they are supposed to be present at this year's Pride Parade. Tommy is the only bright spot for Buck that day, but when they suddenly receive an assignment, he realizes that Tommy, of all people, is in the middle of it…
Finished! Chapter 1 is under the cut, full fic on AO3. Come say hi if you liked it ❤️
We will burn in the fire We will be branded in flames We will have to rise from the ashes From the fires of our own mistakes
Getting ready for shift, day 2 under Gerrard, who’s counting? You can do this.
Buck watches Ravi roll up the hoses. His fingers are itching to ever so slightly adjust the other’s angle of work, but with his distracted mind, the moment passes. Bobby will get his clearance soon. He will, he must.
“This is my first Pride,” says Ravi, “I mean, the parade. What to expect?”
Buck checks the equipment for the third time, but even the third time, everything is where it should be.
“Well, it's my first time too,” he replies with a shrug.
“Huh, were you off last year?”
“What? Oh, no.”
Buck slams the flap shut with a jerk. Sheepishly scratching his ear, he adds, “I mean, this year I’m... uh, this will be my first time as a... Anyway, Tommy and I have different shifts, we can't go, but there are still a lot of parties in the evening, maybe we can make it to one of those.”
“Keep the details about your fag lover where they belong – your underpants.”
Gerrard steps around the fire engine, smug grin on his face, provocatively running a finger through his moustache.
“Done checking? We can't wait forever for you guys.”
He looks at the two of them challengingly, but actually, Buck feels, Gerrard’s only looking at him. Ravi straightens up, he doesn't know the man, he’s just the current captain to him. Buck can't blame him, Ravi has learned that it pays to prove yourself, that it pays to make an effort. He’s learned that, like all of the 118, under Bobby. But Bobby’s not here.
“H... hold on, you can't say that.”
Even if the words dance on the tip of his tongue, Buck's gaze is firm. Gerrard stares at him, a gaze like a laser beam; but Buck is equipped with an invisible shield, and he returns the look.
“I can't tell you to do your job, Buckley? Really?”
“No,” Buck replies stubbornly, “I mean the other thing. The slur. You can’t say that, Gerrard.”
“Captain Gerrard,” the man corrects him in a deceptively soft voice. “You want to start with political correct language, do it in every respect. Pajeet here will agree with me, won't he?”
Gerrard shots a gaze at Ravi. Ravi's cheek muscles twitch, Buck knows he’s stifling a reply. He never thought about it, but how many times has Ravi heard things like these? How many times did he have to listen to bigoted, white men hurling insults at him? Buck clenches his fists. Anger is rising in him like an inextinguishable fire, and it's not wise, he knows this. He knows it, but there's Gerrard with his stupid grin, head slightly tilted as if to say, yeah, hit me boy, I'm waiting for it.
Hen appears at the truck, “There's plenty of bandages, Captain,” she says, as if she's read Gerrard's mind.
Gerrard wrinkles his nose as if Hen's appearance is some kind of stench that you just can't get rid of. But for now, he drops it. He slaps the fire engine; to Buck, this looks like he's slapping a woman's butt, and somehow, the analogy suits Gerrard. He's old school, as these guys like to say. They’re calling the vehicle baby, they’re joking about the hoses and involuntarily grab their crotches when a hydrant spurts out before the connection is made. None of this is unusual. A bit on the verge of extinction, and Buck can't exactly boast that he's never done anything like this. It's not great, but also not unusual. Gerrard, however… he’s a special sort of player.
They occupy the truck, and Buck just hopes his last glance at the interims captain is ice cold. Gerrard is sitting in front, now he can only pierce him with his eyes from behind. Hen looks kind of worried, so Buck nudges her.
“Hey, it'll be fine.”
“Huh?”
She adjusts her glasses, even though they’re absolutely straight. Following Buck’s gaze to Gerrard, she shakes her head.
“I don't know, just having a feeling,” she says.
Gerrard continues to stare ahead, but his ears are good for an old geezer, Buck thinks, as he interjects, “Feelings have no place in a fire truck.”
Hen ignores him, only giving Buck a warning glance as he frowns, clearly pondering about some fierce retort.
“Because of today’s job?” Ravi interjects.
“Oh, right,” says Buck, “Ravi was asking what to expect from the parade.”
He emphasizes Ravi and parade while carefully watching the back of Gerrard's head. This time, however, the man stays silent, and Hen turns to Ravi.
“It's not that wild,” she replies warmly, “people are generally rather peaceful. Sure, there’s the usual drunks falling into the shards of their own bottles. The odd brawl on the sidelines...”
“One year, a fire-eater accidentally set himself on fire,” Buck interjects, gesturing broadly. “Singed the eyebrows of three people who were standing a little too close.”
“Dumpster fires,” Chimney offers. He was the last to enter the truck, missing their earlier conversation with Gerrard, but he, too, seems kind of tense. They all are, actually. And it’s neither because of the parade nor because they’re missing Eddie, who has called in sick at short notice. Eddie isn't absent because of Gerrard, of course, but Buck wouldn't blame him if that were the reason. He himself had been feeling unwell this morning simply thinking about the captain, and thinking about what he’d done to Tommy. How he made him act. That guilt is still apparent on Tommy’s face, whenever Gerrard manages to creep into their topics.
“Hm,” Ravi replies with a frown, “nothing we couldn't be called in for, should it happen. Still not getting why we're ordered directly at the place, practically like a fire station for the day.”
“It's a madhouse, that's why.” Gerrard, of course.
“Statistics show that the presence of fire departments at the start of major events has a preventative effect,” says Hen, ignoring the captain. “Significant reduction of accidents, actually.”
“27 percent,” Buck throws in, and the other’s astonished looks bore into him. “What?”
“Less fire starters,” Hen nods. “One theory says people are more attentive because the presence of firefighters boosts their sense of community.”
For a moment, a discussion breaks out among Buck, Hen, Ravi and Chimney as everyone seems to have an opinion on this, but Gerrard's sharp voice interrupts them.
“Shut up, chicken coop. We're here for a job, not for your private bullshit.”
His gaze rests on Buck, and he feels his own fingernails clawing into his thigh. Bobby wouldn't want you to do anything rash. It’s his mantra for the rest of the ride.

the wolf and the renaissance fair (1596 words) by Winchesterek Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski Characters: Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, Original Children of Derek Hale and Stiles Stilinski, Eli Hale (Teen Wolf) Additional Tags: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski are Eli Hale's Parents, Mates Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Omegaverse Omega Stiles Stilinski, True Alpha Derek Hale, Pack Alpha Derek Hale, Good Pack Alpha Derek Hale, Omegaverse Alpha Derek Hale, Established Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale Deserves Nice Things, Derek Hale is a Softie, Married Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale Loves Stiles Stilinski, POV Stiles Stilinski, Stiles Stilinski is a Nice Thing, Slice of Life, Kid Fic, Fluff, Family Fluff, Parents Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Family Feels, Renaissance Faires, Carnival, Games For @sterekweekly hilarious, @sterekfests road trip, @warmandfluffybingocards won you a carnival prize, @sterekbingo country fair.
Stiles turned around to look into the back seat where Eli was reading a book and Ava was, thankfully, sleeping. He smiled at his little family, his heart filled with overwhelming love. Sometimes it hit him during quiet moments like this, which rarely happened when they were driving. But it was nice, especially since they’d been on the road for a little while and that was like an eternity for his kids.
He reached out to take Derek’s hand, threading their fingers together. “I love you,” he told him quietly and Derek cast him one of those smiles reserved only for Stiles.
“I love you too,” Derek replied softly and gave Stiles’ hand a squeeze. “We should be there soon. I hope the kids enjoy it. It was always fun when my parents used to take us as kids.”
“I don't think I’ve ever been to a Renaissance fair.” Stiles had checked out the place online and it looked like people really went all out for it. It was seasonal and they had shows and games with prizes and a market that Stiles really wanted to check out if they had enough time. Not only did they have themed shops but the farmers market looked great in the photograph he’d seen on Instagram.
“Maybe if we come next season we can dress up? Elijah will be a little older and Ava would probably be able to fit into a small costume.”
“Only if you dress up too,” Stiles teased. “Tights and all.” Derek laughed. “I’m not going to wear tights. I’ll be a knight and wear britches and armor.”
“Well hopefully it’s not during the summertime then because you might just boil up in all that armor,” Stiles teased and laughed, imagining Derek dressed up. He couldn’t say that he wouldn’t think Derek was all hot dressed like a knight. It had Stiles thinking about Derek sweeping him off his feet and straight into their bed.
“Yeah, let’s not do that. Hopefully they’ll have one in the fall or closer to the winter time. Wouldn’t want to have a heat stroke dressed up as a knight. I don't know how some of them do it.” Derek laughed and squeezed Sties’ hand. “Thank you for coming and bringing the kids. I know it’s something new.”
“Well, I like doing new things with you. We’ve been together so long, it’s good that we can still find things to do that we’ve never done before. Life’s an adventure.” Stiles’ head rested back against the headrest, rolled in Derek’s direction as he watched his mate, a warmth filling his chest.
Sometimes it was hard to believe that they were together after everything they’d been through, but Stiles loved Derek more than anything. Well, except their kids. No matter how much they got on his nerves sometimes. It was just part of being a parent.
“I know Ava is only a few months old… but whenever my heat comes again, I want to try for another baby.” He knew it was a sudden change of topic, but he needed Derek to know.
Derek took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay… you know I won't say no to another baby. We waited years between Elijah and Ava, but if you are ready now, then we can try again.”
“It might not even happen right away… You know sometimes it can take a while after I give birth, but I just wanted to talk to you about it before it happened.” Stiles didn't think Derek would tell him no, so he wasn't sure why he was suddenly nervous over the whole thing.
As if sensing his feelings, Derek gave Stiles’ hand another squeeze. “Stiles. I love you. I love our family. Another child, it would only fill our house with more love…”
That calmed Stiles’ nerves and he smiled at Derek before glancing into the backseat. Ava was still asleep (and still human, thankfully) and Elijah was still engrossed in his book, oblivious to their conversation.
“Thank you,” Stiles said as his gaze returned to Derek’s.
“I should be thanking you for everything you’ve given me.”
“We’ve given each other a lot of things… there’s no keeping score,” Stiles assured him and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek.
They fell into a comfortable silence as Derek drove them the rest of the way to the Renaissance fair.
Once they were there, Stiles took care of Ava, changed her, and had her ready for the fair in no time while Derek got Elijah situated. They carted the kids off to buy tickets and get them through the gates as they thankfully beat the crowds.
The atmosphere changed the second they were inside, where there were tents, tables, stables, and signs that stated they had wares. They walked by a shop that said they made handmade books and Stiles was intrigued. They’d have to stop by on their way out to see what they had inside.
He rubbed Ava’s back as he carried her in her wrap against his chest, Derek walking next to him with Elijah on his shoulders. Elijah’s eyes were big and he was excited about everything babbling and pointing and giggling. Thankfully Derek had a strong grip on him, so Stiles wasn't afraid that Elijah would topple off of Derek’s shoulders the second he saw something else he was excited about.
They watched a jousting tournament and the knights as they fought during the sword fights. The knights were given their prizes and they were off to check the market. Stiles was especially excited to see what they had at the farmers market, despite all the cool things they also had for sale there.
After buying a basket full of strawberries, they headed in the direction that stated they had more traditional fair games on the map.
“So which one do you want to play?” Derek asked Elijah as he jiggled him on his shoulders. Elijah looked thoughtful at all of the games.
“Hmmm,” Elijah said, putting his finger up to his face and studying each game more thoroughly as if he knew what each one was.
Stiles knew that he was really checking out the prizes.
“That one!” Elijah shouted and pointed. “It has a big wolf!”
Stiles laughed. He knew their son. It was all about the prizes for him. Stiles couldn’t deny that he liked the prizes too. He remembered the first time Derek took him to a fair, early in their courting. They’d gone home with several prizes that night, but the best prize was Derek. He knew it was cheesy, but Stiles loved him so damn much.
“Whoa! That’s a huge wolf!” Stiles exaggerated and smiled when Derek looked over at him.
“That one looks good, bud. Did you want me to play all the rounds or did you want to try?” Derek asked as he tapped Elijah on the thigh.
Elijah looked thoughtful again like this was serious business. Finally, he said excitedly, “I want you to do it! So you can get me the big wolf!”
Stiles laughed, smoothing his hand along Ava’s back as she stirred in her baby wrap. “Well, then let’s go win us a giant stuffed wolf. I’m not sure where we’re going to put it at home, but we’ll figure it out.”
“It will go in my room!” Elijah countered like it was law.
“Of course it will,” Derek chuckled, glancing over at Stiles and then motioning with his head as they started over to the game tent.
When they got there, they paid the attendant and they gave Derek three balls to throw at a stack of bottles. Derek missed the first two with greatly exaggerated terrible accuracy, which had Elijah laughing next to him as he waited. Stiles thought it was adorable and yes, he made sure he was recording it on his phone so he could tease Derek about it later.
He was such a great dad. An amazing mate.
When Derek threw the last ball, he knocked all of the jars down and Elijah screamed in excitement. Stiles chuckled and watched as Derek picked Elijah up and put him on his shoulders. They talked to the attendant and Elijah pointed eagerly at the giant stuffed wolf. When it was handed over, Elijah had a hard time holding onto it so it smacked Derek in the face, but he didn't complain. Stiles managed not to laugh despite how hilarious the whole situation was, with the stuffed wolf dwarfing them.
Derek helped Elijah hold onto the wolf off to the side of his shoulder instead of in front. “Hold on tight, Elijah! You don't want to drop him.”
“I won't!” Elijah promised, but Stiles wasn't so sure about that as the stuffed wolf swung as Derek walked with Elijah still on his shoulders.
“Ready to go home?” Derek asked, stopping in front of Stiles.
The stuffed wolf bumped into Stiles as Elijah moved on Derek’s shoulder and he laughed softly. “I love you,” he said softly, leaning in to give Derek a kiss. “Yeah, let’s go home. We have to find somewhere for that stuffed wolf to live anyway.”
Derek chuckled and kissed Stiles’ temple, one arm wrapping around him as they walked, his other holding Elijah steady on his shoulders.
Stiles couldn't wait for the next time they came to the fair as he leaned against Derek while they walked back to the car. They’d had a perfect family day and Stiles was warm with happiness and the promise of more in their future.

red life hair dye - Smalletho DL Fanfic
Rating: Teen
Relationship: M/M
Archive Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Status: Completed Oneshot
Word Count: 1,261
Summary: Joel broke his legs after failing a bucket clutch during an improved game of fishing rod chain, killing both himself and Etho through their soul bound. Etho respawns with Joel in The Relation Ship, only to wake up to Joel trying to redye his hair red as quickly as he can before they go to retrieve their precious, dropped items.
This fic was inspired by @iandoubt https://www.tumblr.com/iandoubt/761789153673347072/when-the-boat-boys-turned-red-joel-probably-dyed
Full fanfic underneath the cut! Please reblog, leave kudos on the AO3 fic slash notes/likes here on Tumblr, comment either place, and etc if you enjoy the story :D
They were being stupid, Etho knew this. Joining the fishing rod chain was impulsive, silly, and foolish. Considering their limited, shared lives, it was even more dangerous! Still, Etho and his soulmate, Joel, participated in the chaos, and it was so. much. fun!
It was way less fun to feel the phantom break of his legs before being pulled to his bed back at The Relation Ship for a respawn. Etho blinked rapidly as he came to, urging his vision to focus on the wooden ceiling and his ears to stop ringing. He sat up as he gained back his senses, met with Joel muttering to himself and rummaging around in various chests.
“What are you doing?” Etho inquired, stretching his limbs and massaging his legs to get the blood flow back to them. “We need to go get our things before they despawn.” “Our things can wait a moment,” Joel responded curtly, but Etho didn’t detect frustration with him, so he didn’t take it personally. “Someone will pick it up, and they will put it all in a chest if they know what’s good for them.” Etho caught a murderous gleam in Joel’s bloodlust-heavy eyes as his voice lowered an octave. “They’ll regret crossing me if they don’t.”
“Crossing us,” Etho corrected, tone level, and Joel shot him a pleased, almost warm grin before going back to what he was doing.
Etho didn’t want to admit how Joel could so easily encourage the butterflies in his stomach to flap their wings feverishly and cause his heart to beat a little faster. It was times like this where he was grateful he wore a mask.
Joel retrieved some red flowers– tulips, Etho guessed, or maybe roses, but he wasn’t a flower expert– and a bowl from their chests, promptly plucking the flowers of their petals. He took those petals and grinded them against the bowl’s edges, turning the flowers into dye.
Etho pulled out his communicator– the only thing that didn’t drop when they died– as Joel took the hair dye and expertly went over the yellow streak with red, checking to see if there were any reactions to their death in the chat. More honestly, he was just waiting on his soulmate, not wanting to go back there defenseless and without him.
Joel’s voice sliced its way into Etho’s thoughts after what was otherwise silence between them. “You should let me dye some of your hair too, Etho.”
Breath caught in his throat at how Joel pronounced his name, and it took everything he had in him to stay composed and nod his answer. When did something so simple like “Eefo” coming from his soulmate’s lips affect him like this? Like if Joel was whispering sweet nothings? Like Joel was exploring his body with his hands as they made out– Okay, stopping that train of thought.
Etho knew he was one of the Reds now, but he didn’t remember that being Red enhanced his feelings this much! Especially non-murderous feelings such as this! Augh, he felt like a delusional schoolboy who just brushed hands with his crush.
It was probably just the side effects of being soulbound to Joel. Etho poorly tried to convince himself. Nothing more. Probably. Maybe.
Joel mindlessly mixed around the dye as he approached Etho from behind. He stood taller than Etho was now, but that was only because Etho still sat on the bed he respawned in. Joel hummed to himself in consideration before asking him, “Do you only want a streak– like me, we could match– or the whole head? Or something else?” “Uh,” Etho responded dumbly as he imagined himself in the mirror, visualizing what he looked like in his head without actually seeing himself. Etho gently tugged on what he had been told are called “curtain bangs”, but he didn’t actually know the terminology with any certainty. “Maybe my bangs?” “Good choice, Etho,” Joel approved, and Etho warmed at the minimal praise.
Joel didn’t waste any more time, grabbing a fistful of Etho’s hair with his left hand. He tilted Etho’s head back before using his right hand to apply the red dye to Etho’s bangs.
Etho sucked in his lips, glancing back at his soulmate and hoping Joel couldn’t hear how worked up he effortlessly made him. He was sure that, if Joel knew, he would never hear the end of it. It would be a long rest-of-this-life if Joel discovered his feelings and didn’t reciprocate. All Etho had to do was focus on the game, and maybe he’ll make it out with his dignity intact.
“And,” Joel drew out the word “and” before announcing, “done! Look at that! Now we match.” “And we found true love,” Etho referenced something Joel had said early on in their soulmate-ship. He spun around on his ass to face Joel properly, giving him a smile he hoped reached his eyes enough to be clear.
Joel snorted at the comment as he set the hair dye stuff aside, flicking a bit of Etho’s hair. “A’course we did! You wouldn’t be my soulmate if you weren’t as blummin’ amazing as me.” Etho hadn’t meant to speak, let alone sound so vulnerable, but he questioned, “You think I’m amazing?” Something about Joel softened in a way he didn’t often display, at least not with others, not when there was a game to win.
“Of course I do,” Joel murmured, reaching out to practically cup Etho’s face. The tips of his fingers fiddled with the straps of Etho’s mask. Etho could feel Joel’s warm breath on his face. “You’re rather impressive, Etho. Incredible, even. Why else would I wear your face on my chest?” Both of them simultaneously glanced over to the silly T-shirt Joel made of Etho’s face that hung off one of the posts of Joel’s bed. It had gotten dirty the other day, and Joel had yet to clean it, so he put it in a noticeable spot so he would remember. As if in sync, both burst out into a fit of giggles.
Joel slumped forward, resting his forehead against Etho’s shoulder. “It’s going to take forever to run back to the pre-pool party, especially since we have to be extra careful around mobs without sufficient armor or weapons.”
“It’s a chance we’ll have to take, I suppose.” Etho murmured in response, but he didn’t dare move. He knew they were starting to take too long here, and that the others wouldn’t wait around with their things forever, but Etho couldn’t find it in himself to move away from Joel’s touch.
Just as Etho grew used to the pressure of Joel’s forehead against his shoulder, Joel turned his head. Joel’s soft lips brushed against Etho’s neck, causing a chill to run down Etho’s spine.
Etho still didn’t move, nor did he try to push Joel away. Joel pressed a kiss or several against Etho’s neck, practically nipping him with his teeth, but that's where it stopped. Joel didn’t give him anymore, despite how desperately Etho ached for it.
“Race you there,” Joel declared, pulling away from Etho one moment, and the other moment he was halfway off their boat.
Etho sat there for a skip of his heart, stunned. He reached a hand to the spot on his neck Joel touched, his cheeks beet red. They would have to address that later, once the session was called to a break, but, for now, Joel had the right idea. They had to get their stuff, and maybe snag a kill while they were at it.

It's the fifth anniversary of Jason Todd's death
Today is the fifth anniversary of the day that Jason Todd and Sheila Haywood were murdered, so I thought I would post a write-up unifying all of the information that we have on the case. There have been a lot of posts about Jason over the years, but this case is so weird and has so many branches to it, I don’t think that anyone’s ever compiled all of them in one place.

#Justice4Gotham by Havendance So, uh, Hi. I’m still alive. I didn’t die of the clench (barely). I’m kind of sorry for disappearing on you for so long but life just got really busy and I didn’t really have time to chase after Batman and Robin anymore. I’m not sure how many of you guys still check this blog, but if you are out there, I’ve got a big favor to ask you all.
On June 27th at 7:03pm, Gotham City was hit by the worst earthquake the east coast has seen in, like, ever. And now we could really use your help.

Night Blogger by AnonDude There's a blogger catching the internet's attention with a long, insane, and twisted tale. The problem is, he seems to persist under the impression that he's just a random anonymous blogger looking for advice on his relationship. That's all.
QuillsNFrills: I like your first entry! But I'm a little unsure as to what genre you're aiming for here; it seems a little confused and all over the place. It's clear you want it to be something more lurking under the guise of a simple relationship blog, but is that…mystery? Thriller? A dark romance? Sci-fi/fantasy/magic (with the…whatever is going on with BF's head)? I'm also kind of wondering if I'm reading right that maybe there are hints this isn't a reliable narrator? Maybe that will continue…eyes. Anyway, keep up the good work! – April 15, 2023 –
BlueberryPancakes: this […] only continued to get MORE wild, and despite the "clearing up"…I still don't know whether to believe […] it's supposed to be an obvious red herring and this is all an Experience^tm, or whether this is really OP's life. – April 17, 2023 –
M | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings | Tim Drake/Jason Todd
A preliminary examination of potential significant others (last saved by T. Drake) by Betty, Elf_Herself, Petra thefourthvine wrote, "I want the story where someone sits down and thinks that, and lists every single person in the canon (probably in some kind of database, with numerical codes and assigned weights for each category and stuff) and weighs all the pros and cons and finally, after a lot of careful deliberation, selects a candidate for the position of Significant Other."
This is the first step in that process.

And another month goes by!
In March, we received 45 fantastic fills from 23 wonderful participants, 36 of which will be listed below the cut! We've got 27 fics, four artworks, three fic + artwork combos, one fic + moodboard combo, and one lovely gif!
Since peach is still pretending people are interested in the stats part of the monthly round up, she's going to prattle on a little longer about ships. Gen/no ships came out top again this month with 16 works, while Merlin/Arthur came in second with 14. Merlin/Gwaine is third with two fills, and then we've got Gwen/Morgana, Merlin/Will and Lancelot/Will all with one.
(Another fun stat for you - there are only six works for Lancelot/Will on ao3, and a third of them are bingo fills!)
Now, finally, the bit you all care about: the fills themselves! Remember to check the warnings and ratings, practice self-care when clicking on those links, and leave so much love for the fabulous people who've created them!

What she was not prepared for is the invisibility of her grief. She is the Queen now; no one seems to remember that he was her friend, too, back in the days when she was just Gwen and he was just Merlin.

Into the Inward Places of Our Souls by thesongistheriver Rating: Explicit Warnings: No archive warnings apply Major tags: established relationship, fluff, smut, banter, snark Summary: With the new flick getting more positive buzz than Arthur had expected, it's starting to look like he just might write his own ticket into a high-visibility West End role, even as he tries to rework his treatment for the stage. Merlin's own star is on the rise too, with the Proms and a new world tour. They've always been good for each other ... so maybe this is just the beginning of something even better.

Everything seemed to be turning around him, he felt dizzy. He felt his palms sweating. He felt like he was free falling. All until he felt a hand on his shoulder. And someone lightly shaking him. The he could finally register a voice and he looked up into to the worried face of his younger brother.'

Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms, Game of Thrones (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Stannis Baratheon, Shireen Baratheon, Renly Baratheon, Davos Seaworth, Selyse Baratheon, Original Male Character(s), Original Child Character(s), Robert Baratheon Additional Tags: Fluff and Angst, Children of Characters, stannis needs a hug, Like Really Badly, LGBTQ Female Character, Canon LGBTQ Male Character, Renly is a good brother, Stannis Is a Good Father, And also a good brother, Shireen Baratheon Lives, POV Stannis Baratheon, The Angst in Fluff and Angst is here for a reason, Mentions of Panic Attacks, Stannis has a panic attack, Divorce, Post-Divorce, Single Dad Stannis Baratheon, modern day AU, Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting Series: Part 1 of A Song of Divorce and Coming of Age Summary: Modern Day AU: Stannis Baratheon has just been left by his wife Selyse and now has to raise their three children on his own while also being the legal guardian to his brother Renly. It sure won't be easy but hey at least he has Davos. This fic is part of a larger collection of short fics taking place in the same universe.
The full fic here:
He couldn’t breathe. He felt like there was a weight on his chest and he couldn’t breathe. He managed to take three steps until the bottom of the stairs where he collapsed. Everything seemed to be turning around him, he felt dizzy. He felt his palms sweating. He felt like he was free falling. All until he felt a hand on his shoulder. And someone lightly shaking him. The he could finally register a voice and he looked up into to the worried face of his younger brother.
‘Are you okay, Stan? You look pretty pale. Should I call someone?’ Renly asked him
‘No, no it’s fine.’ Stannis croaked but couldn’t quite believe himself ‘My wife just left me and our three kids but everything is fine-’ he paused. Tears were starting to fall down his cheek. He hadn’t cried in years, he felt disgusted. Then he felt bad for feeling disgusted at himself. And then the flood works began. He just sat there sobbing for minutes all while Renly stood there frozen, like a deer in headlights. All of sudden he heard the telltale sign of naked feet patting on the floorboards.
‘Daddy?’ he turned his head to see his eldest son standing at the top of the stairs. Little Edric in his Spider-Man Pajamas and with his black curls mussed from sleeping on it, blue eyes wide with worry. He looked so much like Renly in this moment. Renly who too had lost his mother at age five. Stannis tried to collect himself before rushing up the stairs to his son. He knelt before him and looked at him, tears still in his eyes.
‘Daddy you’re sad.’ Edric said
‘Yes, Eddie, I’m sad.’
‘Is it because Mummy went away?’ his son looked at him curiously
‘Yes, it is because Mummy went away.’
‘Will she come back?’
‘I don’t know, sweetheart, I don’t know.’ at that he started crying again
‘Don’t cry Daddy.’ Edric said throwing himself in his father’s arms and Stannis hugged him back and they just sat there at the top of the stairs for a while, hugging each other
‘Stannis?’ Renly asked from the back
‘Yeah?’ he looked up at his brother
‘Are you going to be alright for tonight or should I call someone?’
‘No, it’s going to be fine. I’ll call Davos tomorrow. Oh and Renly?’
‘Yeah?'
'If you could not tell Robert what happened tonight, at least for now?’
‘Of course.’ Renly nodded understandingly
‘Thank you Ren, you’re a good lad. You know that, right?.’
His brother nodded absently ‘Thank you Stan.’ Renly said, before leaving to his room at the end of the landing.
Stannis turned back to his son who was still clinging onto him
‘Alright Eddie, let’s go back to bed, hm?’ He asked and his son let go off him and let himself be led back to his room and tucked back into his bed. Stannis leant down and kissed Edric’s forehead before he went and turned off the big light and shut the door.
He went to his own bedroom, undressed, turned of the light and got into bed. He tossed and turned before he finally fell asleep around 3am.
He woke up at 7 to loud cries. He rolled out of bed and walked into the nursery where his youngest child was currently screaming his lungs out. Stannis could not fault him for that, if his mother left him at 10 months old, he would have probably cried his lungs out as well.
‘Hello Steffon, what’s wrong, huh? How can Daddy help you?’ the crying thankfully stopped and instead he was met by huge blue eyes staring up at him. He picked Steffon up and rocked him on his hip.
‘Are you hungry? Should we go and see what your brother and sister are up to? Yes? Okay let’s go.’ He walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, where Edric, Shireen and Renly were all sat at the kitchen table eating cereal and watching a cartoon on Renly’s laptop, Renly was also in the middle of fixing Shireen’s hair into two pigtails
‘Morning.’ Stannis said while walking towards the fridge to get one of the prepared bottles that were in there
‘Daddy!’ Shireen hopped down from her chair, ran over to him and hugged his legs. Stannis used his one free hand to stroke his daughter’s head.
‘Morning sweetheart, sleep well?’ he asked
‘Yes, daddy. Uncle Renly did my hair, look!’ she did a little twirl
‘Looks really good, princess. Did you say thank you to Uncle Renly?’
‘Uh huh.’ Shireen nodded
‘Good.’ Stannis said. He took the bottle he took from the fridge and went to heat it up.
‘Renly?’
‘Yeah?’
‘Could you give Steffon his bottle while I go and dress?’
‘Yeah, sure.’ he handed Steffon and the heated bottle over to Renly and went upstairs to dress. When he came down again, Renly had made him breakfast, a bowl of yoghurt with granola and fruit, as well as a cup of coffee. Renly went upstairs with the other kids and got everyone ready to leave while Stannis ate his breakfast and texted Davos about having lunch together. He then got all the kids in the car and dropped everyone off at school and Steffon at the nursery he started going to a month ago. The last one to be dropped off was Renly and as his brother was exiting the car Stannis turned to him
‘Thank you for this morning, Renly, that was very nice of you.’
‘It’s nothing Stan, but you’re welcome.’
‘Have a great day.’
‘Thanks, you too.’

Portrait of a Dead Girl- a post-Trespasser angst filled Solavellan fic
Portrait of a Dead Girl (2076 words) by CrabsWithSticks Chapters: 1/9 Fandom: Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age (Video Games) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Female Lavellan/Solas (Dragon Age), Female Inquisitor/Solas (Dragon Age), Female Lavellan & Dorian Pavus Characters: Female Lavellan (Dragon Age), Dorian Pavus, Charter (Dragon Age), Original Child Character(s) Additional Tags: Canon Compliant, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Dissociation, Bad Parenting, because of aforementioned trauma, Mental Health Issues, Post-Dragon Age: Inquisition - Trespasser DLC, Pining, i guess?, Solas and Lavellan are both still in love and miss each other, Enemies and Lovers, But they don't want to be enemies, Flashbacks, Both Kinds Summary: 4 years after the events of Trespasser, Lavellan is not doing well. She is continuing to try to stop Solas, but is slowly killing herself in the process as she pushes herself forwards so she never had to look back at all she has lost. Lavellan arrives at the Pavus Estate to begin a dangerous mission that will have her facing the ghosts of her past.
And I wish that you had given me the courtesy, Of ripping out my throat. And I wish that I let you have the dignity, Of letting me go. -Portrait of a Dead Girl by The Last Dinner Party
9:48 Dragon, 4 years post-trespasser Ghilara Lavellan pulled the hood of her oilskin cloak off her head as she entered through the back entrance to the Pavus estate. The cool air hit her, causing shivers to run down her spine and the nub of her arm to tickle with pins and needles. She was glad to be here at last. She had been travelling on foot for just over a week now, the operation that was being planned was extremely important and extremely secret, so the last thing it needed was word of the Inquisitor, blessed fucking Herald of Andraste showing up. And while a week on foot, an anonymous traveller among many on the road was good for subtlety, it was not good for her joints, which creaked, a dull and constant pain. She had passed her fourth decade a few months ago, as her body was always desperately keen to remind her. It was also not good for her shoulders which ached from the weight of the pack, and she was sure there would be sores from where the straps had rubbed against her skin, even through her clothing. Having nobody with her to watch her back also made her paranoid after half a decade or so of assassination attempts. So she had slept poorly and lightly, camping off the side of the road where possible, watching for danger. Hard to believe 5 years ago I was gallivanting across Thedas, now look at me. Old, sore, and tired. I swear my knees didn’t use to be this bad. She supposed she had had a horse then, and at least Solas had- No. She took a deep breath in, and on the exhale let all the emotions trickle out of her, leaving her empty and half a step back from her body. There was too much to do right now to get caught up in, well, that. She ran through the list of what she would need to get done before she headed out. She would need to check inventory. She had to carry more healing potions now that she didn’t have a spirit healer with her since Sol- No! She would have to check her potion stash to stock up on healing potions. And they’d have a war council as well to go over the plan for the mission. If she had her dates right it should be this evening. And that meant Cassandra would expect her to be at least semi-presentable. She’d probably be getting a scolding from the two ex-templars anyway over something she had done wrong. Then she would need to check over the chosen agents, make sure they were up to standard. Hopefully Charter had made it. She couldn’t be the only elf there or she would probably go insane.
Read the rest here!

(Updated May 2024)
Now that the prompts have been revealed, I thought of answering some questions some of you might find helpful about the event.
Please make sure to read the Event Info carefully first, as most of your questions will be answered there already. For everything else, check out the F.A.Q under the cut.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is [fill the blank] allowed?
When in doubt:
And how about…?
Yes, that, too. Give total freedom to your creativity, and don't worry about whether it's allowed or not. Most things are okay, barring anything inciting or glorifying harassment, hatred, or discrimination of any kind.
Do I have to post for all 7 days?
Participate as little or much as you like! Just be sure to tag your posts properly (e.g., #tbbaw2024 #warnings #theme (and/or prompts) #medium #more tags). There are no repercussions if you don’t fill prompts for each day.
Can I post early/late?
You could, but I wouldn’t recommend posting early. Since this is an Appreciation Week event, it'd be more fun with everyone doing it at the same time. That being said, I’ll start reblogging works on September 2nd (thinking on the folks living on the other side of the world from me. You know, time zones and all that), but nothing earlier than that.
As for posting late, yes, that's totally fine; I understand that real life gets in the way sometimes. The only thing I ask is that you tag the for the day you should've posted on, not the day you're actually doing it. Example, if you missed Day 2 and are posting it on the Day 4, your tags must include the theme for day 2, NOT Day 4.
So, when should I start posting?
According to your time zone, during the day at the most convenient time for you, starting on September 3rd until the 9th. If you're super eager and can't wait, post when the clock hits midnight every day. Or if you're late, 11:59pm still counts as on time! 🤣
Will you reblog my post?
Yes, I'll reblog everyone's posts during the week. If it passes more than 2-3 days and I haven't reblogged your post, please let me know. If you tag your post properly and mention this blog, it’s less likely that I'll miss it.
However, I'm thinking that I might queue posts if they're too many at a time to drop them in bulk. If I do that, look for a like from @intrepidmare (my main blog), if you have it, that means I saw it and put it on the queue and eventually will be reblogged.
What if I don’t understand how the themes and prompts work?
Send me an ask! I'm happy to clarify it for you. To put it in simple words, you have a theme that it's in and on itself a prompt, which you can (but not necessarily) combine with any of the prompts for that day. However, you can also ignore the theme and go for a specific prompt only. It's up to you. And remember, the prompts are entirely up for interpretation. Don’t take them too literally. Prompts are suggestions, not mandates. You can go by ✨ vibes ✨ alone.
What kind of content can I make? Can it be NSFW?
Yes, that’s why NSFW prompts are included among the others for each day. And if you use the other safer prompts and turn it into something NSFW, that's okay too. In any case, you should tag your work accordingly, so that others participating in the event can curate their experience and be safe. HERE is a non-comprehensive list of tags you should use if they apply to your work.
Can I combine TBBAW prompts with other creation challenges?
Absolutely! If you have a bingo card to fill or another event to complete, go for it. That’s like shooting two mynocks with one bolt, using one of Crosshair's reflective disks!
Can I upload/repost my TBBAW content to other social media platforms?
Of course! You can post your own content wherever you like. Additionally, I’ve created an AO3 Collection to archive any work posted there. It can be accessed here. (It's closed right now, but I'll open it in due time)
If any of the prompts fits well for an existing fic/art I am currently working on, can I use it?
If you are actively working on this fic/art at the moment with the Appreciation Week prompts in mind, yes. In the case of using a work retroactively (meaning: already published and complete), then please, don’t. You can, however, add new chapters/pages/panels using one or more of the prompts.
If I’m not comfortable with this or that day’s prompts, can I use a prompt from a different day as a substitute and still count?
No, you can’t exchange prompts from different days (as in exchanging Day 3 prompts for Day 5 prompts). You can simply use the alt prompt (which can be used just once), or skip the original prompt, or come up with yours. Like I said, the prompts are only a suggestion.
Where can I post my work?
Post where and how you want. You don’t have to cross-post it to Tumblr. Just keep in mind, if it’s not on Tumblr, I won't be able to add it to the blog archive. You can post a just link to anywhere else you've posted if you don't want to put the entire work in your blog.
Do I have to finish a fic I started? Can I post a work in progress?
Yes, you can post WIPs. And you’re not obligated to finish it. It'd make me happy that this event prompt you to create something longer. Let's appreciate the Bad Batch all year around!
Is co-creating allowed?
Yes, absolutely! Encouraged, even. Not just the usual writer-artist or co-writing collaborations, also any kind of medium combos: fic-podfic, fic-playlist, art-art, etc.
Do I have to create 7 standalone pieces, or can I make one continuous story?
Do whatever you want. One continuous story is fine. The challenge is to create something for 7 prompts. If that’s spread over 7 fics/art pieces/etc. or just one with 7 chapters/panels/parts, it's up to you.
Is there a min/max limit on word count?
None. If you want to write a 100-word drabble or a 50k fic or anything in between for each day, it's all up to you. You're the only one who knows how much time you can dedicate to it and how high/low your level of inspiration/energy is. You can even write a snippet for a fic you'll write later when you have the time/energy. Remember that this is lay-back-type of an event. Do as little or much as you want/can.
Can I combine prompts? Is there a limit on how many?
No limit, and you can combine as many prompts for a specific day as you like. If you want to use them all, do it.
If you want to use all the prompts individually, there's also the option to create several pieces for a single day. It depends on you, your time, and your motivation. This counts too if you do works in different mediums, e.g., write a fic and do art for it (or for a different prompt).
Can I start working on the prompts before September 3rd?
Of course! That’s the idea of posting the prompts so early. I know how difficult it can be to create something in “real time”, without mentioning real life complications, so feel free to start creating as soon as now!! You'll have 2 whole months to work on your pieces.
How do I tag triggers?
Just tag the word/phrase, e.g., blood; main character death. (DO NOT add "tw" either at the beginning or the end. That makes it harder for readers to block the right tags). Here it's the list of the most common warning tags you should use when appropriate.
Also, it would be prudent to add warnings in the body of the post, giving the readers another layer of protection before they do the actual reading.
Do I have to use your tags guidelines?
I'd appreciate it if you did. If you follow the guide I gave you in the tags post here, it'd make it easier for me to keep track of who posted on a determined day, and for anyone else to find and/or avoid the content of a specific tag.
Can we @ you?
Yes, please DO! I think it's the safest way for me not to miss your posts. I'll also be following the #tbbaw2024 tag, just for good measure.
Is there anything we are absolutely not allowed to write?
As I said before, anything goes, EXCEPT anything inciting or glorifying harassment, hatred, and discrimination of any kind against anything or anyone. THAT WON'T BE TOLERATED. For anything else, please make sure to properly tag your trigger warnings. And keep in mind Tumblr’s policies if you are posting it here (or the policies for whatever other site you use).
Can I cross post on other blogs?
Yes, sure. That's fine. You can also post different works to different accounts under different names, without posting them everywhere at once.
.
If you got another question that you didn't find the answer to here, please, send an ask through the inbox, and I'll do my best to clarify your doubts.
Thanks for reading, and happy creating!

Fic Rec Friday 3/24/23
Title: Abduction Seduction
Rating: Mature
Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Category: M/M
Fandoms: X-Men: First Class (2011) - Fandom, X-Men (Movies)
Relationship: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Characters: Erik Lehnsherr, Charles Xavier, Original Alien Character(s)
Additional Tags: Aliens Made Them Do It, Fluff and Crack, First Time, Love Confessions, Mild Hurt/Comfort, Sexual Content, Aliens Are Voyeurs, Happy Ending
Summary:
"Seriously," Charles said, and stared at the alien. "Seriously. No."
"A successful mating demonstration will earn you food," the alien reminded them helpfully, from the other side of the clear glowing door.
———
A bit of a blast from the past for today’s rec. In that it was first posted, damn, nine years ago. Nine years ago exactly in two weeks! Maybe I should have waited and posted this rec on its anniversary?
Nah. Still, decent enough timing I must say. Absolutely not planned at all.
It may be an older story, but I can assure you, it is well worth checking out. And I’m not just saying that because both of the authors are dear friends of mine. No, this fic is truly amazing. It’s my personal barometer of quality for ‘crack treated seriously’ fics, because that’s exactly what it is. It’s the most cracky premise you could ever think of - aliens made them do it - and yet… yet…
It’s so soft. And tender. The emotions are strong and real. Every now and then, the crack pokes through, but it never feels like mood whiplash. You might not think you could get that much emotional mileage out of a premise like this, but somehow, it manages - and then some. The love scene is almost unbearably beautiful, especially for a fic about being abducted by aliens who just wanna watch the characters fuck, lol.
The ending is perfect. A sublime, hilarious, “well, that happened” cap on a fic full of tender emotions and cracky comedy that makes me laugh (and sigh dreamily) every time I reread it.
Truly magical.
———
Next week’s rec: Hmm… You know what I’ve been reading a lot of lately? Steddie. And I just added a couple more fabulous fics to my bookmarks. How about one of those? I’ve been trying to keep the recs a bit diverse in terms of ships, but that’ll only last so long, lol. Plus, I really like what I’ve been reading.
Until next time!

So Much Better Than Egg Salad Sandwiches
Words: 3565 (wip) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson Characters: Dustin Henderson, Robin Buckley Additional Tags: Accidental Baby Acquisition, Pining, Domestic Fluff, Humor, idiots to lovers, Kid Fic, Light Angst, POV Steve Harrington Summary: Steve gets a call from an old one night stand. Eddie just so happens to be around, decides to stick around, and now Steve’s got a whole world of internal shit to work through. There’s also the part about the toddler.
“So what do you think? That can’t be normal, can it?”
There’s a beat of silence, but then there is a thump. A magazine waterfalls onto the floor. Some ripped open junk mail flutters down after it. A crossword with a pen bookmarked in it, flops clue-up on top of that. 45 down asks for a 10 letter word for terror so deep one is rendered immobile.
“What was it? Too many basketballs to the noggin?All those crazy ragers at 16? Because some wiring ain’t firing off the way it’s supposed to if you seriously think I’d be anything close to an authority on this, dude.”
Eddie shifts his weight into Steve’s line of sight. Steve crosses his arms and purposefully stares at the crown moulding behind his head.
“And what, you think I’m hosting up seminars down at the Double Tree?” He snaps.
“No, but of the two of us, you’re the one with a resume that’s dirty with nannying.” Eddie says, dipping his head to demand eye contact.
Steve does look at him then, but only because he wants to see the hurt cloud over Eddie’s face after he flicks him on the forehead.
“Ew. Come on, man, don’t say dirty and nannying in the same sentence.”
“Well aren’t we just a dirty-minded boy this morning?” Eddie grins, rubbing at his new wound.
“No, just a regular-minded dirty boy.” Steve says, and points over his shoulder with a thumb. He can still feel the sticky white crud, crusty and drying down his back.
Eddie peers over him before he steps away and stuffs his hands in his pockets. Steve dares him, with narrowed eyes, just dares him to make a joke about this.
Eddie mmhhmms, fingers covering over his mouth and pulling at his lips in a way that’s meant to conceal his glee, but Steve knows better. Eddie’s body is vibrating. The bastard can barely contain himself. That doesn’t mean he’s going to give him the green light or anything.
“I really don’t think I’m mature enough for this.” Eddie mumbles and buries his face into his hands.
Steve rolls his eyes.
“I know what that sounds and looks like okay, but can we focus—we’re getting off topic. Ideas, any of them, would be fucking neat right now.”
“Alright” Eddie says, sucking in a deep belly full of air and rocking to the tip of his toes. “Have you checked its instruction manual?”
Steve starts to walk away, but Eddie falls back on his heels and stops him by grabbing a fist full of his t-shirt. It’s unfortunate that it’d be the spot that hasn’t dried. Eddie’s face contorts in disgust.
“What?” Steve rounds on him, “I’m shitting my pants here, but you’re joking around like you’re headlining The Apollo. Just go. Forget I called.”
“No, look, I’m sorry. It’s just—I’m also very out of my element here.” Eddie says softly. He also wipes his sullied hands on the front of Steve’s t-shirt. Steve closes his eyes and counts to 5.
“I know.” Steve scrubs a hand down his face. “Shit, I know.”
There’s another thwap and what sounds of marbles rolling down linoleum, but is really a tall porcelain vase that stands on the offending side table. Even if they’re no where near it, the pair brace themselves for a quick run and lunge to catch it. They watch widen-eyed and wordlessly as the bottom of it twirls like a top about to tip, before the damn thing finally rights itself. They share a wince.
“Should we, uh, divert its course? This seems like a gamble and we’re on the wrong side of the loaded die, if you get me.” Eddie suggests.
“Shit, there’s so much glass in this house—what was I thinking?” Steve says, grabbing onto Eddie’s wrist. “God, I can’t do this. Why did I think I could do this?”

“No Archive Warnings Apply” Does NOT mean the fic is 'PG13 at worst, probably fluff, totally safe'. It JUST means that it doesn't contain those four specific things.
It could still have vague but distressing violence (such as towards children), distressing deaths of non-major characters (again, children, hate crimes etc), explicit consensual sex with adult characters (who could be roleplaying rape/underage etc), and all sorts of other content that people might want to be aware of before reading. If you scroll down to the list of common content warnings in this post you can see a bunch of topics not covered by the AO3's mandatory warnings. Specifically, some people have suggested that slurs, bigotry, or slavery to be made mandatory warnings, because they keep encountering them in fic without any warning, and there's nothing against this in the rules.
Also, people use "Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings" for many reasons beyond being an old school fan, and to signal many things other than 'a shitload of warnings apply' or even 'at least one warning applies but I'm not saying which because it's a spoiler'. For example, I use it on stories of the type I described above, where none of the archive warnings apply but there is still content some people might wants a heads up about (other than sex, since people do generally check ratings for that) and I don't want readers to blithely assume it's PG-13 fluff and not bother to check the other tags/author notes etc, which I use to describe the content in more detail.
Other people just find the whole idea of deciding where the line is between "major" and "minor" character death etc too much stress. Some people just don't like tagging anything if they can help it, maybe not even pairings, but are actually writing inoffensive PG-13 fluff. And so on.
And none of these people are misusing the tags, or misunderstanding the AO3 culture. I've been part of the AO3 since the start and people have always used these tags in similar varied ways. And I have trouble figuring out how the OP thinks people should tags works that don't technically fit the AO3's warnings and aren't SUPER dark or whatever but do contain content many readers would prefer a heads up about.
If people are using "Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings" when they mean “No Archive Warnings Apply” then it's good for them to know they'll be scaring off some readers who only want to read things they know don't contain major character death etc. But the only objective misuse of these tags is putting “No Archive Warnings Apply” on a work when one or more of the archive warnings do apply.
Also, readers need to be aware that a work can be tagged “No Archive Warnings Apply” and still contain some potentially intense/warning-worthy content. Whether the author owes readers that more detailed warning is a controversial question and this post is already long. But there's no rule saying they have to include one, and not everyone does.
This is a Moving Forward PSA for everyone using AO3. I am witnessing the results of a culture clash and communication failure. Not a lack of communication, but a misunderstanding caused by changes in fandom culture.
Before fic tagging was common, fics weren’t tagged. You had a pairing, if applicable, an author’s note about genre or general content, and if they were feeling charitable, a vague content warning. There are even a few genres of fic where even vaguely tagging literally spoils the plot and impact (such as horror, psyche thriller, in which the likely content is implicit to the genre). As a result, there is a basic category tag that permits this, as a courtesy to “old-fashioned” writers.
“No Archive Warnings Apply” means the fic is PG13 at worst, probably fluff, totally safe.
“Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings” is the polar opposite. It’s a glaring Enter at Your Own Risk billboard. It means: a shitload of warnings apply but I ain’t telling because this story requires shock value. It’s very important to read the author’s notes for those fics because they might be using that older format from above.
But without the context of fandom culture that generated AO3, it’s understandably easy to conflate the two categories, given their similar wording.
#ao3#writing#decided it was better not to list out a bunch of triggering things#thereby triggering some people and having my post blocked by others#but there are some HEAVY topics not covered by the archive warnings#and they DO show up in works tagged “no archive warnings apply”#with or without extra information in the other tags and summary etc

Ardyn Izunia & Noctis Lucis Caelum
Ardyn was bored, bored enough that he was contemplating whether or not he should goad the irritating Lady Hilose into a fight with her previous lover, Lord Filac.

As he was contemplating how to best get them at each other’s throats, he saw a small form moving oh-so-carefully out of a nearby hallway to hide behind a brightly decorated column.

100 Ways To Say I Love You
by cryptid_brainrot
100 Ways To Say I Love You (Post: https://at.tumblr.com/p0ck3tf0x/one-hundred-ways-to-say-i-love-you/hiicakajcqd6)
Fluff week, but it's more than a week! Each chapter is going to have an assortment of the lines from the prompt list, and each 'day' is going to have a different au, and we're going to pretend each actually took a day. It is going to be mainly SBI centric with some other characters sharing the limelight.
A chapter is going to be uploaded each day (hopefully) for 7 days, and then still consistently after that, and by the end of the fic the prompt list should be done! There are probably going to be 2-4 chapters for each AU. Originally I was going to try to finish all of the prompts in a week but that was a bit insane to try.
The rules are that each line is going to get around 100-1,000 words each, give or take, and it has to be fluff/comfort. Will add descriptions to each au once everything is uploaded. Some of the prompts exact wording might be changed to better fit the au but the base idea will remain the same.
Let Fluff Week Start!
Day 1: Roadtrip AU (SBI + others are on a roadtrip. Shenanigans ensue.) Day 2: Day 3: Day 4: Day 5: Day 6: Day 7:

CA:TWS Anniversary Event - Rules & FAQ
Mods: Tej (sparkagrace) & Maya (cable-knit-sweater) Email: [email protected]
About this event:
The goal of this event is to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Based on the response to our interest check, this will be an open event, meaning we will allow any content related to CA: TWS. We will provide optional (thematic) prompts on a daily basis - based on scenes from the movie, characters etc. - for you to use if you want them. There will be no minimum or maximum for content and we won’t restrict what type of work you want to provide. This can be fic, gifset, podfic, fanart, craft, playlist/song, video, poem, moodboards, rec lists etc. If you are proud of the content you’ve created, then you should post it. You can also cross-post with any other event if they allow it. The event will take place from March 26th - April 4th 2024.
Rules & FAQ below the cut.
We’ve tried to answer all questions from the interest check & other questions you may have, but if after reading you still have unanswered questions, please send us an ask or email, or DM one of the mods.
SCHEDULE
March 13: Prompt lists are published
March 26: Start of event
April 4: End of event
April 7: Final event masterlist shared
RULES
Be kind. Any kind of hate (kink bashing/shaming, harassment, hate speech, toxic behavior, etc.) will not be tolerated at any point. If you think you see there is something harmful, please bring it to a mod’s attention and we will speak to the individual or group. The goal is to be a community.
This is an 18+ only event. Sorry, but this is due to a number of reasons: the collection is going to be mostly unmoderated and we are reblogging/retweeting content that will likely include mature & explicit works.
TAG. YOUR. WORKS. We believe in Kinktomato here. YKINMKATOK (Your Kink Is Not My Kink (And That’s OK). We expect explicit works, and that will contain squicks, triggers, etc. If you’re unsure, err on the side of caution. We believe in Kinktomato here but you are responsible for advising our readers what to expect.
On that note, If there is a work that you don’t vibe with, skip it. Do not engage. Works including any and all ships or kinks are welcome here. We will be tagging our reblogs so if there are tags/content you do not wish to see, please filter them out.
All works must be tagged for any Major Archive Warnings (Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, Underage) that the work contains. If there are none, make sure to select ‘No Archive Warnings Apply’. Works tagged as ‘Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings’ and untagged works will not be shared.
FAQ
What type of work is allowed?
To make this event as low-pressure as possible, there will be no minimums or maximums for content. We won’t restrict what type of work you want to provide. This can be fic, gifset, podfic, art, craft, playlist/song, video, poem, moodboards, rec lists etc.
This is an event celebrating CA: TWS, so we do ask that content is focused on CA:TWS, whether canon or canon divergent. We’ll also allow post-canon works, provided they take place during the CA:TWS era (so pre-AoU, for example: Bucky recovery fics). Your work should include at least one of the characters who appears in the movie (e.g., Steve, Bucky, Rumlow, Pierce, Maria Hill etc).
Do I have to use daily prompts?
No, the daily prompts are optional. They’re there to serve as inspiration should you need it and your works do not necessarily need to be associated with the theme/character of the day either.
Can I use more than one daily prompt?
Yes, you can use as many as you’d like! If you think it fits, you can use it.
Do I need to post my creation on the day the daily prompt is for?
If you want to be featured in that day’s masterlist, yes. For example: if you use a daily prompt from the March 31st list, but you post it on April 2nd, it will still be reblogged, but it will be featured on the April 2nd masterlist and not the March 31st one.
Does this event require a masterpost?
No, this event does not require a masterpost. If you do make a masterpost, please tag us and we will share it at the end of the event.
How will works be shared?
We will regularly check our twitter/tumblr mentions and reblog/retweet creations provided they follow our rules. Content on Tumblr will be queued to the event account to spread posting.
We’ll also make daily masterlists (posted 1-2 days after given time zones/to collect all content). This should also allow content only posted to tumblr or only posted to twitter to be shared more widely. If we miss something, please let us know!
POSTING
Please tag @catws-anniversary if you are posting on Tumblr and @catws10 on Twitter, for us to reblog/retweet it. If you post to the AO3 Collection, it will automatically be displayed there & will be included in our daily masterlist(s).
Tags for your post should include #CATWS10 and all your usual fic tags, warnings, etc. as mentioned above.
If using daily prompts, please list what day’s prompt and which prompt you are posting for.
