[laxiflorum]

It is that time of year once again! Happy International Fanworks Day! This year has been even busier than the last one so just another reclist (that might be late) from me this year. Hopefully next year will be different.

This year’s theme is when fandoms collide – my bread and butter, really. So, without further ado, this year’s IFD reclist:

Alex Rider (AR) × Rise of the Guardians (RotG)

Kindling Wonder by control of chaos Beautiful and incredibly uplifting. In most fics, Alex is quite jaded and hardened by the things he’s seen from being forced to grow up too quickly but this fic reminds us he can still be a child – he can still have hope and wonder, remember the good times, dream and have fun. Despite everything he’s been through, he can be the kid he should’ve been allowed to be.

Rise of the Guardians (RotG) × Avengers

Clashing with Legends by routavaurio The two source media are blended very well despite being rather different in tone. There’s humour but also seriousness, the characters feel true to themselves and the fight scenes are easy to follow. Even with a pretty large ensemble cast, everyone got their time to shine. There’s also a sequel, Mythical Intervention, and both fics are now also on AO3!

Winter Gods by avearia This starts off funny and lighthearted, gradually layering in plot and as of the latest chapter (20/02/2019), hints of horror building up to quite the cliffhanger. The worldbuilding is intriguing, with explanation for the discrepancies between Norse mythology and the MCU’s Asgardians as well as incorporating backstory from the GoC books.

Alex Rider (AR) × Harry Potter (HP)

Harry Potter and the Teenage Spy by Rod I don’t know how to describe this other than it is quite literally, when fandoms collide. See what I did there? …Sorry. The first instalment is set during ‘Deathly Hallows’: what if Alex (and Tom and Sabina) was/were in the café the Golden Trio escaped to after the wedding? After this, well, you know how Alex is – can’t leave anything alone, has to see things through no matter what, casually popping in to fuck shit up – no, really, this series is literally just Alex inserting his sassy self into Deathly Hallows. 😅

Of Wands and Stun Darts (And All the Things in Between) by tomaetotomahtoe This series is so sweet and Harry and Alex’s relationship is incredibly tender. The parallels are drawn between them in such a way that highlights the similarities in their personalities without making them carbon copies of each other. They’re so soft with each other – they’re also mutually pining away for each other 🤭. You’ll be giggling over these adorably silly boys.

Miraculous Ladybug (ML) × Avengers

What the Cat Dragged In by Kryal Tbh, I don’t really know what to say for this one other than it’s just… good. The way the world of Miraculous is viewed through the lens of an outside perspective is simply brilliant and the worldbuilding beyond what we see in canon is very clever. Adrien trying to figure out the physics behind the miraculous is just *chef’s kiss*. These two media were skilfully integrated and the characterisation is on point. Lastly, the tags – ‘the Avengers are not immune to cute’, they certainly aren’t! 😂😂😂

Undertale (UT) × Harry Potter (HP)

Under the Veil by poplasia I didn’t even know I needed this friendship until I read it. Sirius and Sans get on like a house on fire, the mechanics behind the magic are cleverly devised, the banter is hilarious and I can’t forget the puns.

Alex Rider (AR) × Artemis Fowl (AF)

Dead Man’s Party by thealphaaxolotl Post-canon strangers to friends to lovers!Alexmis featuring ‘oh my god they were roommates’, with your standard mutual pining as well as lashings of tension and angst.

Fairy Roses by crowprincess14 A short tearjerker as everyone deserves a little tragedy as a treat. It’s not specifically tagged as Alexmis but it’s definitely inferable. There are references to a canonical (but technically temporary) character death if you don’t read that. If you need comfort after this, there is a companion fic written by alexmis with a happy ending.

Alex Rider (AR) × Avengers

MI(6 Degrees of Separation) by mobilisinmobili Imo, anything written by Mobi is great. The source media go really well together and the characterisation feels natural. As always the worldbuilding is very well done, leaving a vivid impression of the gritty underworld espionage and crime both belong to.

Miraculous Ladybug (ML) × Undertale (UT)

Miraculous Tale by awkwardnarturtle This better fits the definition of a fusion than a crossover, honestly. The ML characters are effectively transposed into the world of Undertale without just feeling like an expy and everything comes together so well. Marinette and Chat’s relationship is delightful to read while the little hints of mystery here and there evoke that nostalgic eagerness to discover the game’s secrets.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica (PMMM) × Avengers

Incursio by Mr. Omelette The worldbuilding on the PMMM side has definitely influenced my own headcanons and the characterisation is rather fitting. Also, a family can be one American supersoldier displaced through time and two magical girls displaced across space.

Assassination Classroom (AssClass) × Boku no Hero Academia (BNHA)

Open Doors by NerdofSpades Another fusion for the list! This series masterfully blends the two universes together and Izuku’s character development takes an interesting turn as he is irrevocably shaped by the assassination classroom for the rest of his life.

Mortal Inaccuracies

“Come on!” Piper exclaimed, tugging at Percy’s hand. “We can’t miss this!”

“I know, I know!” Percy replied, speeding up. “I want to see this too! I’m in it!” “Then let’s go!” Piper said. They raced along the sidewalk, advancing towards the Village East Cinema that was about to be showing the newest movie, based upon a book series by the one and only Sally Blofis: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.

They were all surprised when Sally got a call from Hollywood offering a movie option, which she of course accepted. Percy was really excited about it, especially since he was in it! Well, not exactly, but someone would be acting him. Him!  It would really be something.

Piper wouldn’t miss out on the chance to mock Percy about this, as well as to maybe catch a glimpse of his first quest. Probably wouldn’t be too accurate, but she could get an idea, as well as see how much she knew. Criticising movies was always fun as well.

The couple skidded to a stop in front of the entrance doors, pushing them open while breathing heavily. “Sorry kids, we’re sold out,” the man at the front desk told them with a bored expression on his face.

Percy’s grin dropped into a devastated expression. Piper then decided she was going for it. She leaned against the desk, batting her eyes at him. “But you’ll let us in any way, won’t you?” She said, pouring charmspeak into her words.

The man blinked. “Um, yes, of course,” he said. “Let me go print some more off.” The man walked away, and Piper turned to her boyfriend to see him gaping at her.

“Piper!” He said. “You can’t do that!” “Oh, come on, we’ll be fine,” Piper said, waving him off. “I know how much you want to see this. I want to see it just as much.”

“But-” Percy tried, though the man walked back over, interrupting them. He handed them two tickets, his eyes glazed over. “Have fun,” he said.

“We bought the last two tickets,” Piper said, again putting in charmspeak. “You are only now out of the tickets.” Piper then quickly pulled Percy towards the main room.

They turned in their tickets and got directions to the theatre. The movie had already started so they both bolted in the direction they had been instructed. “Too bad we can’t get popcorn,” Percy sighed as they entered the theatre. “I would’ve loved to have food right now.”

“I’ve got two large boxes of M&M’s,” Piper said. “Is that enough?” “I guess,” Percy said. They got their first glimpse of the screen, which was a teen boy underwater. The couple managed to find two empty seats in the very back row (sorry, whoever was late) and finally sat down to relax.

As the intro carried on, they learned that the teen was Percy. “They sort of got it,” Percy admitted. “I guess it works.” “Grover doesn’t look like that!” Piper whisper-shouted when they got a glimpse of him. “That’s a lie!”

“Already off to a bad start,” Percy said. “Let’s hope they do better.”

Of course, it didn’t get better. “Chiron’s a white horse, not a brown one,” Piper said. “And since when were there more centaurs at camp?”

“Hold up, did they just give Annabeth red hair?” Percy exclaimed. “What were they thinking?”

“This is fucked,” Piper sighed. “I can’t imagine the actual quest.”

“First off, Hades cannot do that,” Percy said. “Second off, it was a hellhound, not Hades himself.”

“Luke didn’t give me a shield,” Percy said. “It was just the shoes. Why is a shield necessary? And what is this map of pearls? I didn’t have to look for them.”

“We’re getting so many weird stares,” Piper said, leaning closer to Percy. “I think they think we’re insane.”

“Then let them think that,” Percy said. “I know what happened.”

“Didn’t you say the bus exploded?” Piper whispered. “I saw no explosion.”

“Flaw numbers one thousand and two thousand,” Percy sighed. “We never got a truck from anywhere and there weren’t other people in the gardens with us.”

“At least we know the shield had a purpose,” Piper said. “It wasn’t a useless addition.”

“I guess.”

“When did I fight the hydra?” Percy said incredulously. “I found Echidna and the Chimera.”

“Then blew up the St. Louis Arch,” Piper added.

Percy scowled playfully at her. “Shut up.”

“Where’s the waterpark?” Percy said. “The Love Thingamajig that Ares used to fuck us up.”

“Apparently it wasn’t important,” Piper sighed. “What a waste of content.”

“Where’s Cerberus?” Piper asked. “I would’ve loved to see him.” “Cerberus is amazing,” Percy said. “He’s a joy to play with.”

“Only you, Percy, only you.”

“Persephone wasn’t there!” Percy exclaimed. “Why is she in here!”

“Way to make Persephone look much less approachable,” Piper sighed. “I like Persephone. She’s sweet, not a bitch like this.”

“Where’d the scene with Ares go?” Percy asked. “Ares was a major part of that quest!”

“That’s also not how you enter Olympus,” Piper exhaled. “They really messed this up.”

“The gods do not look like that,” Percy said. “Some of them are sort of accurate, but no. And they aren’t that much bigger than me! Only twice my height, not ten times it!” “Overexaggeration,” Piper said. “Making it look better. Hypocrites. Ares could’ve helped you with that.”

And so, an hour and a half after they bribed their way in, the two stumbled out, laughing. “That was so terrible it was hilarious!” Percy gasped. Piper leaned against him, chuckling. “I now know what my dad is a part of,” she said. “Something terrible.”

“Do you think anyone made the connection between me and the movie?” Percy asked her.

“It would be kind of great if they did, but at least there was no major scene,” Piper concluded. “Maybe it’s for the better.” She paused. “Oh, how I can’t wait to show this to Camp.”

“Annabeth will flip out,” Percy smiled. “It’ll be amazing.”

“Then she’ll go off on you when you laugh about it to her,” Piper reminded him.

“Yeah, yeah,” he waved her off before pecking her on the lips. “Race you to my mom’s place.”

“Be ready to lose, Jackson!”

Holy fucking goddamn the sunset poem in Running Blind, huh? "Oh im into tf2 again i should read that fanfic i really liked in 2019 I bet its still fun-"

"…Sometimes, people try to take pictures of sunsets."

"Oh so this is what humanity is all about i see."

You fuckinf went off huh. Oh my god. The voice of god just spoke through you where did that come from. Im so MAD at you for putting that in tf2 fanfiction because i now want to record myself reading specifically that part of the story and how will i tell my friends "also this is from tf2 fanfic that made me cry at 2am" look what youce done to me!!! Oh my god. Oh my god. Genuinely beautiful literature genuinely outstanding prose genuinely overtaking emotions and depiction of human experience and beauty in the world and how humans every single day rediscover the same beauty and are still unable to conceptualize it for even a moment but we hate fleeting moments and want to immortalize them because they make us feel so much and honestly me wanting to record myself reading that part of the story is innately an aspect of me wanting to internalize those paragraphs and capture the emotion they made me feel, and the emotion they made me feel in 2019 that i forgot about, but ultimately all i can do is try to remember to read it again 2024 to feel it again because good fucking god.

WHY DID YOU PUT IN TF2 FANFICTION DJDJDJDJB. This is probably a nonsensical anon bcuz you probably haven't read that story in quite some time yourself. But just it. Do you have any fucking idea. Do you have any fucking idea what youve done to me a poor innocent man. That is one of the most lovely pieces of literature ive ever read. The entire story actually is incredibly lovely (i left a very long comment on it the first time i read it, i rmemeber.) And the paragraphs in chapter 16 only add to it, and strengthen the emotional bond between the two and their story together. But specifically just. Oh my god sunsets r changed for ever for me. Goddamn.

yeah i dunno what happened either if i’m being honest i wrote some of the last chapters including that one in like, a 14-hour, like, supreme-hyperfocus-to-the-point-of-dissociation-type-episode. like i basically blacked out and came out on the other side with about 10k words and that entire monologue and then i edited for spelling and posted it a few days later i have no idea what happened. i mean i did think to myself “wow this is in a tf2 fanfiction” but what else can you expect from a monologue about the transient human experience and how fleeting and extremely contextual every moment of our lives is, like. i liked tf2 right then. in that moment i was writing a tf2 fanfiction for fun. contextually that was important just then. and like maybe there’s something to be said about the fact that every sunset is beautiful and to some degree there’s this grief at not being able to express that but also there’s this faith, right, in recognizing this as a pattern in human behavior, and to some degree that means we recognize that this beauty is something we know will happen again. like maybe my next great monologue will be in a piece of original fiction, or maybe it’ll be in another fanwork. i have no idea, but odds are it’s gonna happen again. like i’m not gonna grieve over it as something that’s lost or wasted, i guess, because sunsets aren’t either. we like them, and then the sun goes down. and then it comes up again tomorrow. and like, in my brain i guess it’s not super important what context it’s in, if you’re in your car in traffic or if you’re like, getting proposed to. i dunno where i’m going with this honestly maybe if god breaks my brain over one knee again i’ll be able to word it right

also i absolutely did read running blind again recently i actually did a live reading of it as like a fun thing. the part with the sunset monologue is over here if you don’t wanna put up with the hassle of recording it yourself. it’s like portioned out and stuff

10 Years of Sherlock (TV)  AO3 stats!

Sherlock fans, new and old, click below to read a long list of graphs and comments about our communities fanworks over the last 10 years. I scraped AO3 again and demonstrate that:

More creators are writing longer works in 2020

Readers engaged more as the fandom changed after S4

Top ten new tags per year for the last 10 years

And a lot more. 

PS the code to gather this data and analyse it can be found way over here. 

Activity over 10 years

The last 10 years in the BBC Sherlock fandom have been tumultuous, but this community persists, with engagement from new fans and continued creative output. To commemorate over a decade of squee, I’ve done another scrape of the fandom’s imprint on the Archive of Our Own and will share some insights from the numbers in these plots. A very late update on my post S4 snapshot from 2018.

Note: This analysis is of completed public fanworks only, about 101000 of the 122000 Sherlock (TV) works available at present. This is to remove the late WIP effect, which adds a bulge to the last few months, and out of respect to creators who wish to have their material reserved for other registered AO3 users.

The works are still coming

Counting the number of works posted per day, we can see the peaks associated with each series airing (in UK and US). After that, the number of works continues fairly evenly, 20-30 per day, plus seasonal peaks. This rate is continuing on without a hint of new canon in sight. So who is posting all this work?

Creator-waves, monthly output

Years ago I started plotting creator waves, basically I group fanwork producers by the year they first posted to the fandom and then count how many of this group are active in later time intervals. This lets us get a sense of how long people are contributing and whether new fans are getting the urge to create. 

This plot of the Sherlock (TV) fanworks on AO3 shows the standard shape of plump participation in the first year of any given set of creators, followed by a slowly thinning tail as they because less active over time. Turnover is natural in fandoms, with most only posting a work or two within a fairly limited amount of time, while a precious few persist for years.  The surprise for me here is that the ratio of new creators is higher in 2020 than it was in 2019. Maybe the excuse of lockdown encouraged more folks to take a turn at creating content. 

Another way to look at the output of fan creators on AO3 is to see the total amount of words being shared across all fanworks. The total has been pretty close to 300-400k words per month since 2018! To get a sense of what that means per work, I also plotted the median number of words per fanwork in these monthly sets. The median in higher in the last year than it had been staying for a while. 

Reader behaviour: Hits & Kudos & Comments

Fan creators are only part of the story. Stats on engagement are a bit trick to interpret, I’ve got some plots here that tell us something about how works have been engaged with over time. 

The obvious first to consider is Hits. Above is the total number of Hits given to works published each month. This is the current totals, not a historical snapshot, so we have a very strong bias  towards early works, what we might call the Classics Effect. Works that have been around longer have had the chance to be seen by more people, and in particular those works that become must-read classics in a fandom, extending their exposure through prominence in top ranked works and recommendations. 

To cut down on the advantage of the classics, we can also consider median hits per work for each month. As most works get a lot attention when they are first posted and then fade out of sight, the median number of hits reflects instead the ratio of readers to creators, basically how many eyeballs are around to look at the latest work, regardless of status. The median plot shows how the hyper-visibility of the few work available before 2012, and then a more steady curve once the fandom had gotten established on the platform after Series 2. Amazingly, the hit rate for the median work was steady through the big bumps in activity with later series, a 1000 hits for median works between 2013 and 2018, followed by a slow decline. I’d expect the 2020 works to continue gaining for a few months yet, but the median is probably 50-60% of what is was when the show was in production.

Kudos counts and medians show a similar story to hits, but there is a dip down around 2013 for kudos reflects the frenzy of productivity that saw the fandom grow during the Series 2 hiatus. Readers were getting spoiled! From the airing of Series 3 (2014) until a year following Series 4 (2018), the median work received an even 60ish kudos and 1000 hits, a niche audience that decreased to 50/750 through 2018-2019. The numbers of 2020 suggest a smaller community of readers again, though these numbers may still rise a bit in the next few months before the median works are forgotten. 

The statistic that tells a different story is Comments. Looking at the total comments counts, there isn’t a drop after Series 3 (2014). Instead, the fandom compensated for changing numbers with more feedback and discussion attached to works. This is reflected in the median comment rate as well, which shows seasonal variation but doesn’t really drop off until 2020.

It’s remarkable that without fresh canon we continue to have new creators contributing to the fandom, and while that may be outpacing the readership somewhat, the standard of engagement has been very high. One could say the fandom is chugging along quite nicely!

What about Tags

So, with all that turnover and shifting population, is there a change in the kinds of works being posted? We can look at tags, all tags and freeform tags, to see if there were any meaningful trends. 

First up, I did a creator-wave like analysis of works just for tags, to see how tags continue to be used after being introduced. Unlike the creators, tags clearly persist for years. After 2015, it looks like the core tag set has been established, with very few tags persisting in usage per  subsequent year.

This graph reports numbers over time that are not proportional to the number of works or creators active. Instead, works on AO3 have been getting more and more tags over the years, with the average steadily growing from 5 in 2011 to 15 in 2020, with freeform tags (not characters or ships) from 2 to 8.

To get a sense of fic and tagging culture changes over time, I counted the most popular NEW tags of each year (wave). Note: this analysis is using exact matches, not the networked associations of tag meanings wrangled into AO3 today, so some things that pop up aren’t new concepts but instead newly popular TAGs for whatever they represent.

A little note from looking across all freeform tags, not just the new ones, we see a curious pattern with regards to two actions: First Kiss and Anal Sex. They appear amongst the most common tags as of 2014, neck in neck for two years, than Anal Sex drops off the top ten in 2016. From there out, First Kiss stays in the top 5 from that point on, while anal sex appears at rank 9 from 2017-2019 and is gone again in 2020. This probably says something about the fandom, somehow. 

Bravo for making it to the end and thank you for reading! 

Questions/comments welcome.

[nebulize-my-mind]

So I'm kind of bored and have nothing to post, so I figured I'd throw up the old fanfic I wrote before I had a Tumblr. This post is going to be very long, so enjoy =)

All links go to AO3, though all stories are also available on Fanfiction.net if you prefer. The exception is the last link, which takes you to a story I only have up on Fanfiction.net (though I plan on changing that eventually).

Please read this note before considering the next fic

Note: The Magic In Those Eyes is a fic I've been working on for years, but hasn't been updated in a very long time. I do intend to finish it. Because I've been working on it for so long, there's a lot of parts that I would write differently now than I would back then. There's even some parts I'm embarrassed by and one in particular I wrote with very limited knowledge of the LGBTQ+ community at the time. I've learned and grown a lot since then but I'm owning my mistakes. If you choose to read, thanks, but please cut past-me some slack?

Chapters: 36/?

Summary: Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived. Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-man. Two heroes, two separate universes. But when Harry is tired of the constant betrayal and misery that is his life, he strikes a deal with Death and the two come together to help… wait, are those the Avengers? (Includes animal/human transfiguration, severe diversions from canon, and LGTBQ stuffs, such as slash)

Lucky's Fair Warning: There's a lot of very long rambling author's notes. The entire Avengers movie has been written into this story with virtually no changes to the plot. The fic is very trope-ridden and cliche at times. And there are LGBTQ+ themes that are handled poorly at one point but with no bad intentions, simply a lack of knowledge that has since been corrected. I may eventually get around to rewriting it, but I'm trying to finish the fic before I go back and make any changes to it.

Read the exciting interview below the cut, or on the forum!

If you would like a chance to be in the spotlight too, the only thing you have to do is be a member of the kakairu rocks forum, and be a creator; and we will contact you, ourselves!

Questions:

1. How long have you been creating KakaIru fanworks? 

I think I’ve been writing kkir since mid 2019 and started drawing them at the beginning of 2020. I didn’t start posting any of my writing until New Years Day 2020. 

2. What are you working on right now?

LOL, I have an ever revolving door of things I’m working on. Currently, I have five active projects, including the KakaIru Big Bang, which I am so excited for! I’ll be starting in on something for the KakaIru Minibang soon as well! I’m hoping to add another work into the verse I started for last year’s minibang. I (usually) work well with having multiple things to bounce between. 

3. What is your favourite trope to create for?

Oh man, how do I choose? Probably broadly, it’s hurt/comfort. I love writing some angstcake. There’s something about writing my favorite characters suffering and then making it all better for them that just speaks to my soul. 

4. Which of your creations is your favourite, and why?

This is such a difficult question. fated to love you is definitely one of my favorites. There’s something about the way I wrote Kakashi in it that just strikes me. Honestly, I identify with him so much in that fic, I felt like I was putting myself on blast. His internal dialogue and humor makes me laugh every time I read it. That’s probably definitely one of the closest examples of me being Kakashi, lmao. 

5. Do you have any WIPs you’re excited about?

My big bang! I can’t say much more than that, but damn I am having fun writing it. In regard to something I can mention more of: I’m writing more femkkir verse! I’ve grown to love these versions of Kakashi and Iruka so much and this particular fic is about when Kakashi and Iruka meet as teenagers and how their relationship develops. It’s a bit of a challenge, but I’m so excited to see how it turns out! 

6. Do you have any original characters? If so, tell us about them!

The only original character I’ve got is Soot the cat. He’s a demon, inspired by my friend’s cat. I absolutely adore him and his dumb antics. Soot is not technically a nin-cat, but he’s intelligent and gets into all kinds of trouble. I’ve somehow managed to include him in most of my fics at this point, whether I mean to or not. He just shows up, lol! 

7. What was your hardest piece to create, and why?

Oh this is a tough question! I’m kind of stuck between two of them: i think i’ve loved you forever and the thread that binds us. Both of them are very emotional pieces—I really put Iruka through the wringer in both of them (and, of course, it’s because of Mizuki). There’s a lot of dealing with the emotional trauma of Mizuki, both in a modern au (the first one) and canon verse (the second one), and that was a lot for me to process while writing. Despite the emotional toll, the end products are ones that I really like, especially i think i’ve loved you forever. 

8. Do you have any favourite scenes from something you’ve created?

LMAO YES! In don’t piss off a seals master, ANBU (Tenzou and Kawaguchi (Hazelbeka’s OC)) show up  at the Hatake Compound to ‘politely’ request on behalf of the Hokage that Iruka return and restore the warding on Hokage Tower after he had powered it down. Iruka politely refuses and Kawaguchi leans in toward the compound, forgetting about the warding that Iruka has in place on it and becomes stuck to the barrier (it was a spin on one of the barrier seals Hazel designed!). I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard at something I wrote, but the mental image of Kawaguchi in his ANBU gear and mask with his face stuck to a barrier you can’t quite see just sets me into giggle fits every time. 

9. Where does your inspiration come from?

Most of it comes from music. I hear a song, I think, “damn, that’s some kakairu right there,” and then suddenly I have a whole fic coming out of my brain, lmao. I’ve also taken inspiration from friends and random things that pop into my head. The moments when inspiration strikes are usually followed by, “oh, brain, no,” to which my roommate becomes Concerned. 

10. Which of your creations is the most meaningful to you, and why?

when a house becomes a home. This fic took me several months to complete, but was ultimately so rewarding to write. I have very limited knowledge of Jewish customs, but my friend is Jewish and there’s not a lot of fic out there for kakairu that features Jewish customs. After talking with her a bit, I had an idea for what I wanted the fic to be and with her help, I was able to create that story for her. It really allowed me to lean into that introspective style of writing and write Kakashi in a way that was a little different from how I had written him before. Writing it helped me grow as a writer and I got to learn about so many interesting Jewish customs in the process.

Summary

All fics under cut.

everything the darkness stole | T | 1660 | 1/1 | surrender to Hawk Moth | 7/29/2019

“So,” Hawk Moth says, “now that he’s out of the way, I have a proposition for you. You’re smart, you’re the brains out of the two of you-”

“That’s incorrect, but go on - I want to hear what you have to say to me.” She’s standing up straight, and though she isn’t taller than him, she hopes she can exude enough confidence to match him in spirit.

“I’m doing this for my wife.” She almost falters with the confident facade. “The two miraculouses give you a wish, and I would use that wish to bring back my wife.”

“You spent all that time terrorizing Paris...just to revive your dead wife.”

“She isn’t dead. Coma. The hospital wouldn’t keep her, so I have a setup here that keeps her alive.”

“How?”

“Let’s just say that the miraculous can cause more pain than it’s worth, Ladybug.”

“I’ll help you.” She finds the words unexpected, but not incorrect. “I won’t give you my miraculous right now, but I’ll help you get Chat’s through diplomacy. On a few conditions, though.”

don’t believe what you hear about me | T | 1056 | 1/1 | Forcibly Outed | Bad Things Happen Bingo | 11/13/2019

"New Pictures Revealed: Is Adrien Agreste Bi?" Adrien grumbles as he reads the headline. "I'm not bi, whoever said that had the wrong information," he mutters.

see me in hindsight (burn it down) | G | 1602 | 1/1 | sequel to “if we’re meant to (i’ll meet you there)” | 11/30/2019

Say you'll remember me Standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your Wildest dreams of our past - Taylor Swift, "Wildest Dreams"

Raspberry & Chocolate (Odd But True) | T | 1375 | 1/1 | queerplatonic Max/Alix | 12/3/2019

“Though your love may not be romantic, it is still true. So raspberry and chocolate, odd but just for you!” Andre served their ice creams with gusto, portraying his enthusiasm as he scooped the ice cream.

The two of them exchanged a look. Alix was still a bit confused, so Max took the ice cream.

sing for revolution, sing for hope | T | 5709 | 5/5 | dystopia AU | 12/17/2019-3/23/2020

The Peacock creates monsters. Creates monsters from the anger and frustration at this broken world. The monsters just break it more.

changing my face (calling it fashion) | T | 2581 | 1/1 | characters reading fanfic | International Fanworks Day | 2/15/2020

Adrien sighs as he hits refresh on the page. He refreshes on a daily basis. It feels weird to see his civilian self in this category - he's seen a couple fanfictions centered around his civilian self, and it used to make him uncomfortable, and then Ladynoir was born.

Or, a commentary on the nature of RPF -- based in the Miraculous Ladybug Universe.

everybody wants somebody (except me) | T | 1385 | assumed relationships | Arospec Fanworks Week | 2/17/2020

When locked in a cage with someone else, you either become very well acquainted with each other...or come out with utter loathing between you.

(A divergence from Animan, though it focuses on the events of Oblivio.)

An election goes slightly differently, and everything changes.

Inheritance is a funny thing.

Of Costumes and Trickery | T | 2088 | 1/1 | Lilademption | Post-Halloween Challenge Response | 11/8/2020

They didn't do it on purpose, okay?

the truth of a thousand lies | T | 1257 | 1/1 | arospec Adrinette | 12/31/2020

The walls between them are more than just identity here.

Marinette falls in love with a boy who offers her kindness, yes, but she also falls in love with a boy who she knows will never reciprocate.

Adrien falls in love with a girl that is commanding and strong, yes, but he also falls in love with a girl that he thought loved him too.

Alix aspires more than anything to be a rebel.

don’t believe the hype | G | 1782 | 1/1 | anti-soulmate soulmate AU | 2/5/2021

as once I wept (if I could weep) | G | 412 | 1/1 | grief | @miraculousfanworks​ 500 followers celebration | 3/5/2021

I will not ask where thou liest low, Nor gaze upon the spot; There flowers or weeds at will may grow, So I behold them not: It is enough for me to prove That what I [loved], and long must love, Like common earth can rot; To me there needs no stone to tell, [It] is Nothing that I [loved] so well.

The universe is being threatened. Bunnyx has to get someone to save it, right?

climb back up | T | 4251 | 1/5 | sequel to fall from grace | 4/7/2021

Adrien wakes up in the hospital, feeling like a failure. He couldn't save Ladybug, pull her out of the madness. He couldn't even get himself out of the way right.

Ladybug is stranded somewhere in the Alps, trying to find her way back to civilization and hold onto what she has left of her mental health.

There's only one way to go from rock bottom -- but the climb is long and hard.

Taking Flight | T | 2120 | 1/1 | gender identity and coming out | 4/17/2021

Jess still wasn't quite honest when they went out as Eagle. They're not what everyone says they are, their desire to retain their heritage and their gender aren't mutually exclusive.

Because that’s what they are.

“Right.” He frowns.

Kenzie was a good girl.

And then its owners were gone, and then it had to survive.

IFD Author Showcase - oopsabird’s SamiCharlie (Wonder Woman 2017) Works

Hello all! Since today is February 15 was International Fanworks Day, I thought I’d get around to something I’ve been thinking of doing for a while, which is a masterpost of all the Wonder Woman (2017) fics I’ve written for the pairing Charlie/Sameer! Yay!! Shamless self-promotion time!!

Click under the cut for all 15 of my works for this ship in the order I originally posted them! Plenty of reading to fill up your reading week or procrastinate whatever you “should” be doing lol

Unfortunately this probably won’t show up in the tags due to the amount of links it has, so reblogs would be super super appreciated, as are comments and kudos from those of you who click through!

These works represent the small public part of the huge amount of writing growth I have had in the last two years, and a big effort to build a ship tag from the ground up with my friends, and I am so so proud of them!! Every word of a comment or kudos means the absolute world to me, as making these fics has helped me rediscover my creative self again after so many years of being estranged from that part of me - they are an expression of creative joy.

Hope you enjoy!

1. And In The Morning [1838 words]

If that snowy night in Veld had been the calm before the storm, this sunrise was the stunned quiet in the wake of the hurricane. The moment to look around and take stock of what made it through the vicious night - and what didn’t.
