omg recently friends have been like "I played some deathloop and tried not to kill aleksis but I just couldn't help it" and "he's so awful sorry I know you love him" and I'm like !!!!! no!!!!! please feel that way about him!! if you ever read my fic I want you going in with your worst opinion of him. that's the point!!! he's is the worst!!!!! I validate all of the aleksis hate bc it's well founded and real. he is not a good person. he has ruined (and cost) many people's lives. he doesn't care about anyone but himself. my fic picks up where that thought leaves off, but that thought is essential to the enjoyment of my story!!

fully started tinkering out a little disco elysium fanned fic i guess way back in december 2020 the second i finished the game & have never since added to it. I desperately want to but getting the tone right is so important to me it’s daunting and I haven’t been able to, but the urge is coming back again.....

happy one year anniversary to this post! the fic it was originally about ended up getting TWO comments, so that small creature is out there living its best life. meanwhile i have continued to create progressively smaller and frailer creatures, and yet somehow the ecosystem thrives. fanfic commenters are out there scattering bountiful caches of food for hard times, and it is greatly appreciated

posting niche fic on ao3 is like releasing a small creature into the wild and hoping it survives and finds sustenance

It's time take you back to the past

to play the shitty games that suck ass.

Some besties wanted a list of Everlark fics recs where Katniss and/or Peeta are blasted to the past/alternate universe to relive the events of the games to fix it, so here we are!

Time Is Never Found Again...Or Is It? (113,000 + words) by blahblahblah1703

Katniss, after talking to Snow in his rose garden, finds herself somehow back in her childhood home. She has seven months until she enters the arena for the 74th annual Hunger Games, along with the love of her life, who when she last saw him, was still struggling not to kill her, just perfect.

The pre-game everlark that happens here is 🤌. This is part one of a larger series. The sequel (which is wonderful as well) can be found here. This is the series that got me into this rabbit hole.

Afterburn ( 104,000+ words) by BlueMaple

Katniss Everdeen-Mellark goes to the woods surrounding New Appalachia, a.k.a the former District Twelve, on the morning of the fiftieth anniversary of the final Reaping of the Hunger Games. There, she is literally waylaid by her own past, and wakes in the past, six weeks before Primrose was first Reaped. Alone, grieving, terrified, and without a clue on how she got there (and then), she realizes that it will be impossible for her- on every level- to simply live through events as they transpired in her personal future. With no way to return her to that future, she is nevertheless determined to get back to her own party - hopefully with a lot less damage and fewer crucial casualties along the way.

This is apart of the All Sorrows Less series, which is still being updated. It's filled with wonderful side characters, mindblowing twists, a baby I will kill people for and GILF Katniss, what more can I say?

Second Burn ( 127,000+ words) by carnationhes

Katniss wonders if things could be different if she got a second chance. And then she gets one. This morning she wakes up back in District 12 after Peeta's warning of the bombing on Thirteen.

Have you read Second burn? Why haven't you read it yet? You should read it. It's amazing. Literally makes my brain chemistry tingle. I think this is most accurate depiction of a Katniss being blasted to the past with no meta explanation why. It's sooo soo soo good. I'm on my knees please read it and please read the sequel Ignite as well. This series is so underated please.

over and over (lost again) (13,000+ words) by TeaBrigadier

I died in the Hunger Games. It isn’t even the first time it’s happened. I’ve died in the Hunger Games five times now

This is a very self contained time loop where Katniss continuously relieves the first games until she gets it right. I know it doesn't really fit the theme, but this one makes my feel happy feelings and i wanted to recommend something that's isn't so long so I'm adding it anyway. Deathloops are fun!

Ongoing:

Catching sparks (19k words) (Last update 26 Feb 2024) by Silver_Cleo

The time when 23 year old Katniss and Peeta get transported from their home in what had once been Victor's Village of District 12, and into the bodies of their much younger selves, who have just woken up from exiting the arena of the 74th Hunger Games.

Here Katniss and Peeta get traveled to the past to the point where they just win their games. It's a great WIP. I love Everlark working together and being cute + humanizing the 74th tributes and their family <3

I'm probably missing a few, but these are my favourite ones so far. As much as I love the trope, I know it's a monster to take on from a writing standpoint so props to the writers!

I hope you enjoy them <3 There's nothing I love more than shining a light on amazing fics new and old. If you have recs of your own, please send them my way. I love this trope so much haha

i'll admit i don't understand something about the fan presence arkane has as a member thereof: the disparity in fanworks and cultural presence compared to their other releases. compared to prey, and deathloop (i'm not going to even bother with the other one), it puzzles me a whole lot.

dishonored is almost 11 years old as I'm writing this, and while dh2 is newer they're both a bit aged in terms of fandom lifetimes. this is not a criticism, to be clear — age and quality are not causative, and many of my favorite things are older than i am. that said, it's odd to me that it still gets regular art, fics, posts about it, etc when the stuff for prey and deathloop seem to have dried up (save a few intrepid souls persisting, some of whom i am lucky enough to be personal friends with, whose work i adore, y'all know who you are). to me, prey in particular has just as much to chew on, just as much impact, and just as much of... all the things that make arkane games special as dishonored does, and yet there's a marked difference in how much presence each has in the present in discussion and creative works. for deathloop it's even starker, though i suspect the more linear, pared-down world and experience in that game plays a role.

again this is not a condemnation or complaint, i love dishonored and i am very glad there seems to be a steady stream of people discovering and falling in love with it, or returning to it, or having never left it. it's nice that it keeps space in the mind like that, and it holds a place in my heart and has since i visited its display at PAX 12 prior to release. however with that said, it leaves me wondering: why don't its younger siblings, and why is the disparity so apparent? what is it about dishonored (and its fanbase) that differs so greatly in impact? i'm aware there's some overlap - i love DH, Prey, and DL all at once myself - but it's a real headscratcher regardless.

thoughts and comments welcome, perhaps someone sees what i've missed. ultimately i just wish they all got about as much continual love as dishonored does, not that dishonored got less.

I have this new Kenlee deathloop idea for a fic, but i havent finished my other stuff yet and i can't make it. but the urges are corrupting my mind

[arkane-secret-santa]

Wow! Can you believe it's almost Christmas?

Remember, submissions for the Sevret Santa close tomorrow! Don't forget to send in your gift.

[eiramew]

need to finish that *checks notes* ah yes.. 2 years old deathloop fic

[sigilmint]

i don't have it in me to make a whole fic about it but I would very much enjoy a deathloop fic about the goldenloop update. one day we woke up and there were paintbombers. they emit the Gideon Fry jingle. one day we woke up and some of the bottles and fiz-pops weren't where they were in any of the loops before. one day we woke up and learned that Frank Spicer had a Slab. one day there was an entire GARBAGE FACILITY. the loop changed. the loop changed. the loop changed.

Omega and Harriet; two visionaries in their own right

This is from that crossover fic I keep mentioning. The idea behind these two meeting is that, if we make Omega force sensitive (which I think the show is going for anyway?), these two would have a lot to talk about.

What is good and what is evil? What is power, and how should it be used? Where does the force/slabs come from? Does chaos always call for order and vice versa, or could one exist without the other - I.e. does it make sense to strive to wipe out the Syth, and will the force vanish with them?

So yeah, fun stuff to think about and mess around with. In the fic it serves a good break from everyone else having cartoony action scenes and verbal fights.
