Into, Across and Beyond!: Shared Universe Mentions

So just yesterday, I got praise from @robovoidfrog for the inclusion of their character in IAB!, and I'm honestly chuffed to get this feedback! So through this post, I just wanted to talk about the prospect of the shared universe idea between this project, Funkinverse and the original Spider-Verse trilogy.

NOTE: None of the mentioned points are canon to either of the projects outside of IAB! unless stated otherwise.

So first off, as you saw through the aforementioned post, The X not only had a run-in with this project's Quill Society, but he also seems to be the most remotely aware of the nature of film fics based around Spider-Verse. A lot of these indeed kick off with that world's iconic hero dying and someone else having to take their mantle for them, which leads them into quite the whacky crossover situation.

In this continuity, some things are different for the Funkinverse storyline due to what goes on with the base FNF universe here. For instance:

Boyfriend died long before through the events of Mario's Madness, and a universal reboot is what gave way to Benjamin.

Though, like in canon, BF's WI and Twinsomnia incarnations are generation counterparts in the base FNF universe, they're also separate counterparts in Funkinverse (Twinsomnia's BF being Brooke's little son).

Softie/Benjamin Fairest's counterpart in Funkinverse is separate to the one who's linked to IAB!'s FNF universe.

As Benjamin had befriended several of the other BFs and GFs (those from B-Sides, D-Sides, Neo, Minus, B3 and Arrow Funk specifically), any of those that are linked to the Funkin' Society are quick to understand after Cam's hostilities that Salty's in the right for aiming to save his legal guardians from The X and quickly switch sides against Agent Blueballs' ideals for canon events.

The Sky counterpart encountered by the Funkin' Gang is a more hostile variant compared to ErrorSky, who changed her ways after enough time.

As mentioned above, The X was successfully detained and neutralised by the Quill Society post-Funkinverse, but the fact that it took FOUR of its members to detain him, compared to just two (Pana and SS!Amy) detaining Speedy in his Chaos Emerl guise, speaks volumes of how he is indeed a threat on par with The Spot and Crimtake.

As Beyond the Spider-Verse isn't out yet, we still don't know whether or not The Spot was successfully beaten.

Sunday ending up with protanopia after their encounter with The X didn't sail well with Carol, Benjamin OR Grace, hence why Benjamin calls him out on it. To think it was all because of a little disagreement about breakfast foods.

The Childhood Memories universe canonically NEVER encountered the Corruption (which is apparently a canon thing, according to Agent Blueballs), and even if it did show up, it'd never effect any of the children's shows. Yeah, get lost, Pibby kids.

In the IAB! continuity, Lexi Robin ended up defecting from the Funkin' Society after seeing just how wrong everything is, and she was rooting for the Funkin' Gang and Benjamin's crew from the sidelines.

After Cam's clash with Benjamin, Soft Pico and Neo GF (their original counterparts) sided with Benjamin in a bid to get their boyfriends back out of the Funkin' Society and back to doing the right thing in general.

Identically to Funkinverse, there's a lone repeat customer that the therapist of the bunch dislikes. For Funkinverse, it's the Boyfriend/Keith from Earth-666 (I Can't Sleep) who Softie dislikes, whereas in IAB!, CD Alt Ending Sonic's disliked repeat customer is Charlie (the Sonic from the god-awful "Sonic 2 Lost Prototype" fangame). That said, he does try to bear with the guy's emotional turmoil, though the other major therapist of the Quill Society, Sara, seems to have caught on as well.

In terms of the Gangs' members having possible canon interactions:

Miles, Salty and OMT!Tails would definitely help learn from each other on how to better protect their respective worlds, and also find solace in the fact that they were all treated as anomalies at different points.

Peter B., Brooke and CR!Sonic would be the doting dads after their first outings and talk quite a bit about their sons/daughters.

Gwen, SNS GF and OMT!Mina would be a sort of comfort group to each other, considering their rough pasts and how broken each one is deep down. Gwen, having been most successful thus far, would definitely be the beacon of light girl the other two clearly need.

Noir, Toon BF and Mini Sonic would interact quite a bit about the Rubik's Cubes that they were given as souvenirs, and their different reasons for admiring the cubes.

Spider-Ham, Mobian BF and Mr. Needlemouse are definitely the kind to goof around with their cartoon antics. That said, with the lattermost being the biggest prick, he is prone to being called out for it by the other two, though barely giving a care about it.

Peni, Aloe and EX!Alice are the tech geeks of their respective dimensions and would love sharing their robot-building (maintaining, in Aloe's case) knowledge with each other.

Hobie and the D-Sides versions of BF and Mighty would find common ground in their ideals of screwing over intended consistencies and going their own way in life.

Pavitr, Golden BF and Black Knight Amy would have a way with each other being the naïve newcomers of their respective teams, and BK!Amy, harbouring the most experience, can share some tips for her companions.

The Sonias and CR!Manik would be happy to look after Mayday and Twinsomnia BF, due to them both being toddlers. Them being children sporting superpowers makes it click more.

Margo, Boom, Nicole and Nine could bond from their computer-based knowledge, and the majority could also aim to lift Nine's spirits if he's feeling a bit down.

So that's pretty much the basic gist of things. Another few tidbits:

Of those instigating the canon events, between four candidates: - Melanie / MP (the kid pictured below), despite having tried this himself, didn't do it willingly, and was forced into it by so-called "superiors" who got the short end of the stick big time from Nitro, even after their passing made it look like they could get away with it. - Miguel and Agent Blueballs, despite their cruel methods, at least have good intentions in mind for their approach, but go about it the wrong ways that alienate those around them. - Lost Memory Sonic is the only one of these four to stoop lower than the others would've done, and actually tries DESTROYING universes to maintain the status quo.

(Art will be updated when @mcgamejolter finishes it)

Of the major protagonists between the three universes, OMT!Tails is the only one that's rarely had to use his nanomachine gear to disguise his identity with. That said, he has used it when he visited the dimension of the Hues of Metal (Dimension HoM-2023), and the suit's robotic sheen actually FOOLED the robots. At least, until LM!Sonic was driven away from their base (apparently for, as Rocket Metal put it, being a stereotypical Australian tourist).

In the above point's case, Metallix is the one to catch out OMT!Tails when they're alone, though is ultimately overpowered... from OMT!Tails mentioning that a certain web series isn't officially canon, causing Metallix to go poof from existence. Again.

Despite being a supposed "canon event", Sonic.EXEs are surprisingly quite rare to see in universes that aren't meant to have them, like with the Corruption, Darkness and Venom Symbiotes. That said, the first documented case of one showing up in a Sonic universe in the Quill Society logs is in the Sonic Robo Blast 2 dimension (Dimension SRB-1998), a universe that doesn't even have a canon appearance of the demonic entity.

After "Rivals' Madness" (my unofficial expansion/sequel to Mario's Madness/Vs. Sonic.exe (RERUN)), several of the worlds encountered are their own universes, so the characters within are not solely bound as digital slaves to Ultra M, Xenophanes OR 2011!X.

Related to the above, pretty much all the major cast of FNF ended up dealing with the mess of Ultra M and Xeno in that one adventure, most of which put up with one enemy each; Sophie from Left Behind for Tankman, Mr. L, X.nes and Requital for Pico (the lattermost he fights again later), Stranger for Skid and Pump, OMT for Mommy/Martha Mearest, Awe's Chromophobiac for Senpai, and NMI (No More Innocence) for Daddy/Daniel Dearest.

There are alternate versions of Heaven AND Hell in the IAB! multiverse that aren't solely bound by the Christian bible's depictions. For instance, there's a genuinely friendly community in my version of Hell, which an alternate version of Benjamin dubbed "Keith" discovers after his passing.

Akin to @thestrongestjewel's Eepytale, the Frisk, Chara and Asriel of the IAB! continuity have been living together for some time, albeit independently from adoptive parents like Toriel. Kris also spends some time with them as the biggest sibling of the group, akin to their role in @akanemnon's Twin Runes series.

The full list of those lives lost to the "canon event" theory are as follows:

OMT!Sonic, OMT!Vanilla and OMT!Sally (OMT!Tails)

Uncle Chuck (Crossover Realm Sonic and Extraterrestrial Encounter Sonic)

Sonic and Tails (OMT!Mina)

Caffrin (EX!Alice)

Marc Smith (Nitro; he couldn't even avert this in the Rewritten universe)

Sonic (Antho and Mobiverse Tails)

Amy (ChaosIIUniverse Sonic and Sonia)

ALL of his friends (Hog)

Silver (Lost Memory Sonic)

Tails and Amy (CD Alt Ending Sonic)

The original Boyfriend and Girlfriend (via the original FNF universe's events that led to its rewrite)

Cassandra (both from a tactic Pico pulled to end his school's terrorism early in the new timeline, and for good following the Corruption's events)

Proto Man/Blues (alongside Wily, Bass and Treble) (Mega Man/Rock; these four lost their lives to a rogue Zero build who remains shut down to this day)

For now, that's all I can really discuss. Took me some time to think about all the stuff I could mention here. Until the next post, have a great day/night!

was tagged by @galwithalibrarycard thank you!

last three movies you’ve watched: so the Important Cinema Club podcast hosts 24 hour movie marathons on Twitch and the latest one was specifically movie musicals, the only one I saw in full was Cats on Park Avenue/Kôendôri no nekotachi which is a 1989 Japanese movie about a neighborhood’s street cats and a group of girls trying to put on a musical about the cats and it is Perfect. besides that I didn’t watch any of the movies in full but the ones I saw the most of were The Haunted Castle/Das Spukschloss im Spessart which is a 1960 German film about a young woman who lives in a castle with ghosts and apparently the beginning is batshit insane but I showed up like 10% in. And the one I saw maybe an hour of was Winter Evening in Gagra/Zimniy vecher v Gagrakh which is a 1985 Russian movie about a guy who wants to be a tap dancer. If we’re not counting the ones I didn’t see in their entirety then it’s The Color of Money and Holes lol

four movies on your watchlist: I need to FINALLY watch RoboCop, and also need to watch The Wrestler if only to see fuckin Necro Butcher and also Claudio with hair in a movie. and then uhhhhh I’ve heard good things about I Saw the TV Glow. and speaking of important cinema club I wanna watch one of the Farley-Roxburgh movies, probably Magic Spot

last three songs/artists you listened to: Nineteen by Charly Bliss, Little Chaos by Orla Gartland, and I Just Think I’m Smart by Wild Party

four songs/artists on your to-listen list: I want to listen to Sydney Sprauge just from hearing her lyric “stone cold stunner, homestar runner”, I keep meaning to listen to Redveil, I mean I listen to Everything Everything but I need to listen to their newest album, uhhhhhhhhh I can’t think of anyone else atm

last three books you read: I have fallen completely out of the habit of reading for over like seven years i think it’s all stuff for the podcast. Checking storygraph yep it’s Holes, Wide Sargasso Sea, and Fairest

four books on your tbr: okay so I’m reading two books I need to finish so I think they count as tbr, I need to finish Lady Audley’s Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon and So Many Beginnings by Bethany C. Morrow. Zoë recommended Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko to be and that looks cool, and I also have an ebook of A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft that I’ve never gotten around to

I’ll tag @reyantilles @all-chickens-are-trans @sirenofthetimes @greatestvoyageinhistoryofplastic and anyone else who wants to do it!

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written fewer than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway.

Thank you for the tag @amethysttribble!

In a shabby tent at the end of the world, there was a carpet spread across the ground. (in the breaking)

Angrist was forged by the greatest of the Dwarf-smiths in the master-workshops of Nogrod. (the fairest stars if that counts)

He stands, the cold grey sky above him, the wind carrying the scent of salt and smoke and blood, his sword held loosely against the throat of a small dark-haired boy. (but two remain)

Sirius Black was a beautiful child. (Toujours Pur)

Charlie woke to find his mouth was intolerably dry and his tongue felt like sandpaper. (After the Funeral)

The first time is the worst; of course it is, this is it, this is the moment that will forever divide his life into before and after. (Deathbeds)

Faramir sleeps. (The Manner of His Return)

Everything else I already have published is very old and not really worth reading so I'll share three opening lines from upcoming WIPs instead!

In the great stone hall of Himring Ever-Cold there had been, of late, an uncommon level of bustle and activity. (a currently untitled thing)

Idril is staring at the ground when the light comes. (all the world lay then in wonder)

Fingon had a tent to himself in Araman – a modest little thing, as far as they went, with none of the finery of his father’s, nor the spaciousness of Turgon’s, who was sharing with his wife and daughter. (The Unburied)

Ten people sound like a lot to tag, especially after this has been going on for a while, so here are 7 since I only technically did seven of these: @arrivisting, @cycas, @pearlescentpearl, @leucisticpuffin, @that-angry-noldo, @tathrin, @potatoobsessed999 (no pressure, and sorry if you've already been tagged!)

Tough Love (The Villains Lair) (Minecraft Villains Version)

Alvar:

Ever since I was a boy my own father vowed I must find the way to power through a noble brow I married once for love, then my senses came I must marry for the stature of my wife's name Onto marriage number two I knew what I had to do And my poor wife was killed in a year or two Solved problem number one, now to problem number two Her doe-eyed little boy with gentle point of view

Would I ship him off to school? No! I told him if he stayed that he'd have To earn his keep and so he became the maid

Charlie and Joey:

He was lazy He was crazy He was talking to the mice

Alvar: Janis was hopelessly naive, so he had to pay the price I moved him to the attic out of sight and out of mind I could have thrown him out, but I'm benevolent and kind

Charlie and Joey:

Sire, your heart's too big for you!

Alvar:

I knew what I had to do After all, difficult children will take advantage of your good nature

So you lock them up from away the key There's one on every family tree

Charlie and Joey:

Ungrateful Hateful Vile too, the things he put you through

Break their spirit so they obey Now they'll do anything you say Maybe you'd call it cruel but others would call it love Tough love

I ask you, is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?

Walda:

Oh no, they're so cute when they're little but Then they grow up and just ruin everything

I never wanted children, life was better on my own All the screaming, nagging chilled me to the bone But then one day I came across a flower growing free It's magic kept me young, so I kept it all for me But someone dug it up, now a baby held the power So I "borrowed" him, locked him up and hid him in a mansion, Years went by, Oh, the sacrifice And against my better judgment, I fed him once or twice Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young But that's messy Manipulation's easily more fun A little guilt, a lot of force of course you have to lie Remind them that without you, they'd shrivel up and die

They only have themselves to blame If you'd been there, you'd do the same

Walda:

So work them hard 'til they fall in line There's one way and it's only mine The children are lazy Spoiled too

Alvar and Walda:

But we know what to do Govern them with a heart of stone Lock them up, so they're all alone Maybe you'd call it cruel but Others would call it love, tough love

Herobrine:

Ugh, his own room with a water view and He runs away, the first change He gets?

Alvar:

These wretched brats think the World owes them something, but it doesn't..

Herobrine:

Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand But there was more, I had in mind a greater plan I never cared to share, so my brother would have to fall But his "child" blocked the way to me and "Fairest of them all" He was chubby, He was dumb And grotesquel optimistic He needed structure in her life He wasn't realistic I give him chores and took away the things that he'd enjoy But then I caught him singing songs with birds and then a girl Love? Was I just sit by and wait? For him to take my crown? No He had sealed his fate He had to go, and so he did and you know what They say, "An apple once a day keeps your enemies away"

All:

Don't be fooled by their tender smile Give an inch and they'll run a mile

Our idea for a happy home Is one where we live all alone Dark Depressing Desolate Now let's all drink to that Call us wicked call us mean Cruel and everything in between You could say it's unjust Turning their dreams to dust This is what we call love, tough love!

2024-04-27: Dockery Farms (Town)

Dockery Farms (sometimes called Dockery Plantation, but usually just simply “Dockery”) was founded in 1895 by Will Dockery. It’s located just inside the western edge of Sunflower County and about 2,000 tenant laborers grow cotton on its 28,000 acres. Though Will Dockery didn’t much care for the music of his tenants and shared many of the prevailing beliefs of white men of the era, he had a reputation as one of the fairest men around when it came to wages. Pay at Dockery was consistently higher than at the other farms in the area, which in turn attracted many laborers.

However, the pay was usually made in company scrip that was only accepted at Dockery. Scrip could be exchanged for cash, but almost never at face value. Payday happened once a month and was known as “Furnishing Day,” and saw thousands of people lined up outside the commissary to collect their pay. There are grumblings about the unfairness of being paid in scrip, but any legislation that might stop the use of script is still a few years away (the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938).

Points of Interest

Cotton Gin

Housed in a barn-sized building with corrugated metal siding, the cotton gin is a roaring monster of wheels, belts, and teeth. Few people who deal with the gin regularly manage avoid losing at least part of a finger during their years of tenure there. It’s a machine to be respected and feared. The ginning process spits out fine clouds of cotton lint that settle on the sweaty skin of the workers, leaving them looking like fuzzy ghosts by the end of their shift. Without the gin, the money doesn’t come to Dockery; and without money, there is no Dockery.

Big Lou’s

Big Lou owns a house just past the one-lane bridge over the Sunflower River. On Furnishing Day (always a Saturday), the bluesmen pay Big Lou to move all the furniture out of his house and set up mirrors and oil lamps so they can perform. While this was happening, the bluesmen would play music for the captive audience of people waiting in line. Although the musical performances while waiting in line were free, the best and most popular music was saved for Big Lou’s house, and you had to pay a toll to cross the one-lane bridge to Big Lou’s house. The toll was split among the musicians who performed that night.

Pea Vine Station

Rail was the best way to get cotton shipped around the country, and cotton farms that weren’t located near big rail lines had to make their own branches. Officially known as the Kimball Lake Branch, nobody calls it by that name. It’s just the Pea Vine, named for its indirect and circuitous route that resembled the unfurling vines of a pea plant. The station in Dockery runs southwest to Boyle, a community about 2 miles south of Cleveland, to connect the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Company tracks to the Illinois Central. The Pea Vine runs twice a day, making a round trip each time, and functions as a convenient way to reach the entertainment options of Cleveland.

Trulight Baptist Church

Pronounced like “True Light,” this is an all-Black church with a graveyard where many of the laborers would end up being buried. The church was first established in 1906, and the graveyard holds the remains of Annie and Bill Patton (the parents of legendary bluesman Charlie “Charley” Patton).

Honestly, though, that's the fairest criticism I've heard against Tress. Like, I definitely agree that the curse breaking felt kind of hand-wavey and anticlimactic, and even if he didn't want to go there Tress and Charlie both read as very aspec to me anyway. Definitely not worth giving the book only one star, though

I just found a 1-star book review featuring my all-time favorite piece of literary criticism:

Charlie Prince ❦ Fairest

"Oh, I can't give you this," Charlie said, reaching behind herself to leave the script on a side table, "are you kidding? That's only for people in the show. Are you a people in the show?" "You play dirty, Charlie Prince." Ivy chuckled, and for some reason she didn't lean back when Charlie moved even closer than before. "All's fair in love and war, right?"

❦ THE BASICS ❦

Full name: Charlotte Floriana Prince.

Known as: Charlie, almost exclusively, since she chose her stage name at 18. Her parents and siblings still call her Charlotte.

Age: 32.

Birthday: August 15.

Zodiac: Leo ↬ Creative, passionate, generous, warm-hearted, cheerful, humorous, arrogant, stubborn, self-centered, lazy, inflexible.

Sexuality: Lesbian. Out and proud since high school.

Hometown: Greenwich, Connecticut

Family: parents, four siblings (she’s the middle child, and A Middle Child), her dog/soulmate Irish Wolfhound aptly called Horse.

Occupation: actress. She used to be a dancer, but that's been set aside to focus on her acting career. Her online D&D guild friends have no idea TheTiddyPaladin is actually the Charlie Prince.

Height: 5'4''

Build: Naturally slim, though she couldn't tell you if it's genetics or the fact that she's been constantly on the move since she learned how to walk. She's a professionally trained dancer and has the muscle definition to show for it. She will neither confirm nor deny she sticks her favorite thirsty tweets from fans to her bathroom mirror to get an ego boost in the morning.

❦ THE BACKSTORY❦

Charlie Prince is the apple of Hollywood's eye. She showed up seemingly out of nowhere, wearing a spandex suit and a cape for what was supposed to be a minor (very minor) appearance in one of the biggest superhero franchises in the world. Her character was so inconsequential she wasn't even given any rules or recommendation as far as PR and her public image. After all, why would anyone even interview someone who was in the movie for a grand total of five minutes?

Charlie flew out to Vancouver, shot her scenes, and immediately went back to her job at the NYC Ballet. She was almost twenty-five, and she was so close to her first solo at the ballet she could almost taste it. And then the movie premiered. Charlie was invited out of politeness and (she suspected) a need for the cast pictures on the red carpet to look a little less male and white. Charlie was walking the red carpet, happy as a clam to enjoy the glamour of a premiere as one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, when a journalist stopped her to ask her a question: was the handsome gentleman by her side her boyfriend?

Charlie laughed and then laughed some more, and then she said the words that would turn her life upside down: "No, no, that's my brother, and I'm really gay. If you wanna come to the after party, though, hit me up."

The flirty wink that followed those words went viral within minutes. By the time the premiere ended, Charlie Prince had become an icon, a social media sensation, and a very real problem for a very large media empire. Her acting career (what acting career?) was on the line, they said, and Charlie nodded politely and went back to her pointe shoes and her rigorous work schedule. Hollywood had been fun for a night, just like the nice reporter whose name she couldn't quite remember anymore. But she was now ready to go back to real life.

But Charlie's words and her wink and her five minutes of screen time simply refused to go away. She started rehearsing for her first solo one week before her action figure hit the shelves of all major retailers. There were petitions for a solo movie, invitations to talk shows and podcasts and fan conventions. An ever-increasing amount of fans -- fan-fans, mind you, not ballet aficionados -- crowding around the stage door every night. The most surreal experience of her life in the form of her own face printed on the lunch bag of a little girl walking to school.

Charlie Prince was famous, and she still had no idea how.

The months that followed were a flurry of experiences Charlie honestly wasn't prepared to process. Everyone knew her. Most people loved her. Some people hated her. Both groups were loud and relentless and seemingly everywhere. She took a leave of absence from her job to spend some time holed up in her family home back in Connecticut with her parents and siblings, who were delighted to remind her she was still the same old Charlotte. Still getting into trouble for not thinking before she spoke. Still so very different from her quiet, academically-oriented family.

When her agent called her to talk about a solo movie and a recurring role in the big franchise crossovers, her parents laughed and told her to not be silly -- ballet was her life. She'd devoted twenty-five years of her life to it. She had the skill and drive to make it. Who in their right mind would give up a chance to become a soloist at the New York City Ballet for the glitz and glamour of a Hollywood life?

Charlie Prince, as it turned out.

Once she made her choice and jumped fully into acting, Charlie was an instant star. She was flirty and witty and naturally charming in a way that made every talk show appearance go viral within minutes of it landing on YouTube. She was bold and confident in a way that would absolutely have come off as arrogant in most people, but she somehow made it work. She led blockbuster after blockbuster, and her name became synonymous with box office hits.

If there's one thing Charlie's missing, it's that feeling of being respected for her craft. Superhero movies may make billions, but they're not exactly the kind of credits that give you Serious Actress points. So when they offered her a chance to work in a Broadway show, opposite legendary actress Rhiannon Braeburn? Charlie didn't even think twice. Live theater is serious enough -- prestigious enough -- to push Charlie from superhero actress to actress actress.

And if it helps distract people from that pesky little lesbian heartbreaker reputation she's earned (and deserved, if she's being perfectly honest) over her seven years in Hollywood?

Well. She's definitely not going to complain.

I was tagged by the awesome @saltwaterbells to make the ladies from Fairest using this picrew:

On the top row we have Ivy Whitely and Rhiannon Braeburn, who both came out looking about 20 years too young. Rhiannon would be delighted to be 30 again, and Ivy would be starting kindergarten.

And on the bottom row, we have Han Forrest and Charlie Prince, done with everything and ready to steal your girl, respectively. I mean Han would steal her too, she just wouldn’t be as enthusiastic about it.

My character creation process is basically my brain swinging wildly from one end of the bright and shiny/dark and twisted spectrum to the other, clearly.

I don’t currently have a tag list for games, so please consider yourself tagged if you want to do this and have fun! (And let me know if you’d like to be tagged in the future!)

The Year of the Fests

Last year (2019), I launched fully into the Damione ship and embarked on a personal 10-fest challenge. I scraped by at exactly 10 fests and 2 drabbles. Yesss. And now for a year of no fests. (Does it count if I committed to one due in 2020 before the year ended?)

10. KyoDreams In Another Life Fest: The Making of Draco Malfoy

Meet the Honourable Mr. Draco Malfoy, rich, entitled, and bored, and the adventures that just might turn him into a reluctant hero. Regency England AU featuring the Napoleonic Wars.

*Runner-Up for Best Fluff in Granger Enchanted Awards*

9. Salt and Pepper Fest 2019: Hot in the Himalayas

Revenge is a dish best served cold. In the icy reaches of the Himalayas, years after their ill-conceived affair, Hermione plots out the steps to her revenge with a few old friends. It just so happens that things don’t turn out exactly the way she plans, not when tempers are running so hot.

8. DFW's Nikita Gill/Never Apologising For Our Wild Challenge: Coiled, Falling

She's locked in a tower when he finds her, bewitched and imprisoned. Dark Rapunzel retelling.

7. Riddikulus Fest: Boys Over Magic, or Hermione and the S4

The War's over, but not at Hogwarts. Meet the S4, and the Muggleborn witch who's determined to go up against their leader. Dramione inspired by Boys Over Flowers.

6. DFW’s First GOGO Fest: Tempo

Draco's good deed is punished. How bloody typical.

On the verge of a suitable marriage, a chance meeting with a mysterious time witch gives Draco a chance to review his options.

5. TheMourningMadam’s Once Upon a Time Fairy Tale Fest: How to Date an Idiotic Pureblood Wizard

Hermione just knows Draco's up to something in the Ministry-mandated Muggle Awareness Class. She's not going to let him, not if it's going to interfere with her plans to take over the world, starting with one Pureblood at a time. Crackfic tribute to My Immortal.

4. HP Drizzle Fest: Where the Light Breaks

The War was over, and things should have been better—but they weren't. Or maybe they could be. Repeated encounters with an old classmate puts old wounds into perspective.

3. Dramione Remix Round 10: Spinning the Stars

Because of course Hermione Granger would find a way to stopper time if she set her mind to it.

What happens if you manage to solve the mystery of immortality? It's not as wonderful as it sounds when you return to find that the world has continued spinning without you in it, and that everything is changed forever...

*Winner of Reader’s Choice Award*

2. DFW Trope Fest: Pinned

Draco doesn't know what he's expecting when he follows Blaise down a dark alley, but it certainly isn't this. For a man with an addictive personality, this isn't going to turn out well. Assigned trope: Voyeurism. Heed the trigger warnings. WIP.

1. Twistmas - A Dark Xmas Fest: Mirror, Mirror

1999. Eighth year. Something's different about Draco Malfoy. He's kind and courteous, and he even smiles. Ginny is convinced something's wrong with him, but Hermione would rather believe the best of him. He's changed for the better, right? Or perhaps it's something a bit more sinister…

AND two Fairest of the Rare RarePair Drabbles:

Urban Legend

It's just an urban legend about Muggleborn witches, isn't it? Cormac really, really wants to know. Cormac x Hermione. Word count: 500.

Girl of Sun and Summer

There's tragedy at the Dragon Reserve this winter, and Charlie would prefer not to have any visitors, especially not his beloved, meddling younger sister and her tendency to set him up with her friends. Charlie Weasley x Luna Lovegood. Word count: 800.

Now for an entire month of sleeping and slacking off...
