#check please fanfic

[madisonandmore]

Well, hello there, honey! Fancy meeting you here!

The weather is (finally) warming up in the Samwell area and we're extremely pleased to announce that Madison & More, a new Check, Please! prompt fest, is now happening!!!

Here are some important details:

☀️The overall theme is Summertime, which could include Madison-based works (timely, since we figure Madison may be on people's minds now that the comic is appearing in mailboxes around the world now!), however prompts and works can be related to any characters or ships doing anything summery (hence the 'More' part of the fest name)!

☀️Prompting will open on AO3 beginning Monday, May 22nd at noon EDT. More on prompting guidelines will be posted here closer to that date!

☀️Prompts will be open for two weeks (until Monday, June 5th) at which point prompts may be claimed.

☀️All types of fanworks are welcome as prompt fills: written fics, podfics, filk/vids, any type of art or handmade fanwork, etc!

☀️Finished works will be due Friday, August 18th at midnight EDT so you'll have pretty much all summer to write, pod, draw, create!!

☀️Works will begin posting the following Monday, August 21st for everyone to enjoy as summer comes to a close.

We had so much fun bringing you @omgauplease in the spring, we just couldn't wait to do it all over again! We hope you will join us for Madison & More!!!

Winter fic roundup

Well, considering I live in a place that barely has a winter, it's a miracle I even have any to list here! Thank goodness for holiday fests.

Stickers of old men and a thousand yen (Schitt's Creek) not gonna lie, the title of this is one of my favorite things i've ever written.

The birthday kiss between David and Patrick didn't happen, and now it's Christmas. What are they going to do when they draw each other in the town Secret Santa gift exchange?

As long as you love me so (Check Please) oh hey I wrote something! A Zimbits future fic.

It's the first Christmas since Jack retired, and it's not going as smoothly as he'd hoped it would.

[Podfic] Merry Christmas, I'm Yours (Check Please) this fic by @doggernaut is so so so good, I beg you to read it or listen. It's so lovely and angsty with a happy ending.

It takes Jack only a couple months after graduation to realize he's in love with Bitty.

It takes him almost 20 years to actually do something about it.

(Or, five Christmases Jack and Bitty spend together.)

[Podfic] snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes (Schitt's Creek) A little wintery bit of fluff.

david slips on a patch of ice and falls in the snow outside the store. patrick comes outside to comfort (and tease) him as he sulks.

The Call of Sweet Things [PODFIC] (in progress) (Harry Potter)

Draco's happy with his quiet, lonely life in Woolbury, spending his days working at Pen Pals and keeping his already tidy flat spotless. But when Harry Potter shows up with pink hair and secrets about his magic, Draco’s carefully upheld balance falls apart. He doesn’t quite know how he ends up decorating Harry's cottage, drinking unreasonable amounts of cocoa, and laughing more than he’s laughed in years, but it's Christmas, after all– and he finally has a chance to set things right.

All I Want For Christmas (Is For You To Stop Talking) [PODFIC] (Harry Potter)

The Niffler's Garden is the most prestigious wizarding nursery school in England and has been for the last century or more. Harry Potter's boys are both enrolled as pupils at the Garden. When he volunteers to assist with the Yule pageant, he has no idea that he'll be working closely with another parent, Draco Malfoy. Although they haven't seen each other much since their own school days, Harry faults Malfoy for not being a hands-on dad to little Scorpius. Will the intense weeks of preparation fan the fires of enmity or something else entirely?

Thanks for tagging me, @doggernaut! Who else wrote some winter fics? Post 'em!

[omgauplease]

We could not be more excited to open the curtain on Day 1 for the AU, Please! fest with these incredible works!

Subtext & Symmetry - Rated T - 80,918 words

Featuring: Derek "Nursey" Nurse/William "Dex" Poindexter, Eric "Bitty" Bittle/Jack Zimmermann, Larissa "Lardo" Duan/Shitty Knight, Chris "Chowder" Chow/Caitlin Farmer, Adam "Holster" Birkholtz/Justin "Ransom" Oluransi

Summary: What is it like to open a book and find your soulmate within? Dex is about to find out.

University student Dex works part-time for a local bookstore, receiving shipments and restocking the shelves and such. Someone leaves a handwritten journal behind during an open mic poetry night, and the bookstore manager asks Dex to please check (!) if there’s any information in it that could lead to its owner. Dex starts paging through it, and then reading it, and brings it home. As he keeps on reading, he slowly falls in love with the person who wrote all of the words. A person who hasn’t left enough clues in the journal to help identify who they are: A receipt for coffee? A feather? Part of a business card? A photograph or two, taped at the corners… A whole list of introspective questions and answers? It’s been months, but no one has come back to the bookstore to claim the missing journal.

A story told through Jack's texts and emails.

Come back to what you need

New Lardo-centric Check Please fic, hot off the presses deranged pit in the center of my skull!

A tantalizing (?) quote:

Lardo knows she’s in love with Shitty, okay?  She knows it in the library, where she’s sketching without thinking and ends up with three pages of mustaches and one of crop tops and shoulders.  She knows it in the studio, when she’s moving pieces of plastic around and trying to think how they’ll look glued together—or bedazzled—and then she’s wanting Shitty there too, wishing they were mildly stoned on the roof, putting the pieces together right.

She knows she’s in love with Shitty when she’s in Camilla’s bed, up against Camilla’s dresser, on her knees on the rug in Camilla’s room.

But in the Haus?  In Faber?  In the cafeteria, ignoring glares from roughly 80% of the other students on Samwell’s campus?  Well, there Lardo is just Lardo, and Shitty is her best friend.

“Come back to what you need” is just under 3,000 words of Lardo hooking up with Camilla Collins, being in love with one Shitty Knight, and having two very good friends in Jack Zimmermann and Eric Bittle, even if they are being kind of shifty about some stuff.

It’s available right now on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/45337033

Something's up with Starscream

https://archiveofourown.org/works/62255593

Starscream was loud.

It was a very well known fact about him. One of the first things anyone notices, ready. He was loud with his declarations of treachery against Megatron, he always did everything as dramatically as possible, and he was the most annoying Decepticon many had ever met.

This is why, when a couple solar cycles ago, he changed, Thundercracker was worried.

Or: Starscream and Soundwave swapped personalities due to something in Shockwave's lab!! It sucks that that isn't wide spread knowledge among those on the Nemesis...

Based on the comics by the wonderful @zorangezest

Oh I realized I never sent you the fanart for LoF on tumblr, here you go! 💕💕

i need you to know that this art is permanently in my brain. ever since i first saw your art on tiktok my brain has shifted. rewired. i think about it ALL THE TIME

[talentpiper11]

One of my favorite fandom things (specifically as it pertains to Ao3 tags) is the concept of “No Beta We Die Like [insert-name-here]”.

I love that seemingly every fandom I brush up against has their own version— at LEAST one— so that the concept is the same across all of fandom but the tags are an ossified bit of culture and history decided seemingly by committee.

Idk, I just think it’s neat :)

Feeling down? The fantastic works from our Day 5 creators are just what the doctor ordered!

Featuring: William "Dex" Poindexter, Denice "Foxtrot" Ford, Tony "Tango" Tangredi

Summary: There was a woman covered in blood standing at the front of the room.

The sight of her was intense. It was grotesque. It was dramatic.

It was distracting Dex from his biology quiz.

For the Prompt: Where Dex is being pursued by an Irish deity very interested in working with him - either Brigid or the Morrigan off the top of my head, but I'm sure there may be others that are a good fit.

[libby-for-life]

A scene from chapter 13 of Adam Dies. Adam keeps having negative thoughts about himself and bringing himself down so Lucifer decides to tell him differently.

This is not supposed to be sexual. This is Lucifer trying to help Adam through a book that Charlie (through Angel Dust) gave him. Adam is so used to following orders without question and being forced to do things he doesn't want to that he can only do things if it's given as an order. Otherwise he spirals.

The book was basically about how to Dominate someone the right way and there was a chapter on how to do it in a non-sexual way. The art depicted is done by @breedtheseed and they are so talented!

Adam seems to be happier and no longer looking down on himself.

Crooked Ties and Convenient Excuses NurseyDex, Teen, 6k Fake/Pretend Relationship, New Year's Eve, Getting Together

“Just spit it out, Derek.” “Ugh, fine. My parents are hosting a New Year’s Eve party at the Boston branch of my dad’s firm, and I need you to be my date.” Dex squints at him for a long moment, watching a blush slightly darken the apples of Nursey’s cheeks, just above his neatly trimmed stubble. “How many people did you ask before me?” “Seven.” It’s Dex’s turn to sock him in the arm, and Nursey laughs brightly, immediately returning to his usual self with the reintroduction of their playful physicality. He dances away before Dex can hit him again. “Kidding! You were the first name that came to mind, Scout’s honor. You think anyone else would put up with my particular brand of nonsense?” “I think half of Samwell would.” “But none of them would look as cute and grumpy about it the whole time as you.”
