#mad max fanfic awards

[so-shiny-so-chrome]

Hey all, this year the Mad Max Fanfic Awards is taking a bit of a different format. We will be spotlighting different authors and other creators within the fandom. Think of, "Actors on Actors," directors' roundtables, convention panels, and magainze interviews with your favourite canon creators. We want to give fanon creators that kind of attention and support.

Please use the linked form to nominate any and all Mad Max Fandom creators you would like to see spotlighted, and supply us with questions you would like them to answer. Self-nominations are welcome. We will create a questionaire to be sent to all nominated creators, which will be shared here as we receive them back.

Depending on interest, we may also schedule live roundtables and panels with subsets of the creators and/or vote for genre and other category achievement awards.

We will give you notice before we close the form, but please send us your input so we can start spotlighting creators.

[livia-lerynn]

Based on fandom feedback, I've made a few last minute category additions: Epic Fics (beyond 75k words) now have their own categories as do Supernatural and Crossover fics. Anything already nominated that fits the criteria for these new categories will automatically be nominated.

I will be keeping the form open until I get time to go through the nominees and make sure they are matched to the appropriate categories. That is to say, if you don't have all your nominating done for another day or so, no worries.

Nominate your favourite MMFR fic from the past year for an award! Why? Because we love fic! Let’s get the chromest and shiniest witnessed. Submit your nominations (you can even self-nominate) by Jan 10th. All genres and ships are welcome.

Fic Writer Meme

@worriedaboutmyfern said she tagged anyone who wanted to do this, so I did it!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

57

...why is there a very large font size I can’t fix. tumblr is a website

2. What’s your total AO3 wordcount?

183877

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

The Untamed/Mo Dao Zu Shi, Disney Descendants, glowfic, the Magnus Archives, NBC Hannibal, Cthulhu Mythos, the Alexander Trilogy, the Screwtape Letters, Academia RPF, Mad Max, the Vorkosigan Saga, Sacrifices Arc, Zootopia, DCU, Avatar the Last Airbender, MCU, Star Wars Legends, Star Wars sequel trilogy, Lord of the Rings, British Actor RPF, Disney Animated Canon, Taylor Swift RPF.

I... tend to hop fandoms a lot. Most of these are things I wrote one fic in. 

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

By far my most popular fic by kudos is You Know What They Say About Foxes (They’ll Break Your Heart). Fucking furries. 

My second is my other Zootopia fic, Stretch Yourself, followed by Slicing Free (trans girl Mal from Descendants), An Isolated Outbreak of Virginity (Finnpoe virginity kink porn), and The Most Social of Human Interchanges (Ben loses his virginity by being gangbanged by the Core Four). 

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I don’t respond to comments because I didn’t realize this was a thing you were supposed to do, and now I don’t know what I’m supposed to say to most of them. I do read every one and they make my day every time. 

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

uh good question

I feel like I’m going to have to give the award to “that’s what woods are for”, because I had to put increasingly unambiguous tags about how miserable everyone in this fic is to keep people from posting things complaining about how unhappy the ending is. Now no one posts this but also no one reads it. My genius is unrecognized in its own time. 

7. Do you write crossovers? If so what’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I don’t usually write crossovers (outside of glowfic) but I am the QUEEN of fusion fanfic. Every time I consume a piece of media I’m like “what if this were mdzs fusion instead.”

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Someone took a whole hell of a lot of offense to Blessed Art Thou Among Women (my fic about how in the Descendantsverse Frollo canonically has a child) and left me an extremely nasty comment about it. It wasn’t clear to me what they were offended by. 

There’s also a lot of vagueblogging about An Isolated Outbreak of Virginity being racist which, I promise you, I write this shit in every imaginable fandom. I am not at all reserving it for black dudes.  

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yes.

I write angsty, character-focused, relationship-driven smut; if there’s a choice between hotness and developing the relationship, I pick the relationship every time. One time Grace said about one of my fics “this is the least sexy porn I have ever read” and I felt deeply understood. (That was one of the less angsty ones, actually, it was just K*hneman and Tv*rsky bickering about whether wanting anal sex was a cognitive bias.)

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope. :( 

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I mean, I’m a glowficcer, so...

A lot of my fics wind up so influenced by grace that even though they’re technically independently written by me they wind up 20% cowritten by grace anyway. It’s less so now because we’re in different fandoms. :( But their fingers are over every inch of hymns. 

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

how can anyone answer this question???????

14. What’s a wip that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

My Screwtape Letters fanfic wound up falling apart, mostly because I lost contact with most of the people who were going to beta it for Christianity accuracy and haven’t found other people who would be equally good.

15. What are your writing strengths?

I’m funny. I do really good characterization and character-driven fics. I’m pretty good at writing angst. I have excellent weirdtopias, particularly related to sex and gender worldbuilding, as well as coherent economics. 

smut

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

I sometimes tend to drop into my own voice and lose the character voice. I have a hard time coming up with original characters. Plot is not my strong point when it isn’t character-driven. Weirdly, I have a hard time writing combat, even though it seems like an identical skill to writing smut. I start many many many projects and do not finish them. 

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I’m a monolingual English speaker so I mostly don’t. I tend to go with the “he said in Russian” approach. My glowfic has ever had dialogue which I used Google Translate for, but glowfic tends to be lower effort in this kind of way

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter. (It was really bad Mary Sue fanfic.)

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

mm right now probably ‘only hymns upon your lips’? It’s good. You should read it. I PROMISE I WILL FINISH IT AT SOME POINT BUT MY BRAIN IS ONLY SANGCHENG

no obligation tags: @irrealisms, @wolffyluna, @regicidal-optimism, @another-normal-anomaly, @existentialterror

[llcooljae]

Witness! The Fanlore page for the @so-shiny-so-chrome is finally done. All the stories that were nominated (with the winners in bold) are in one place for your reading pleasure. This contest was awesome - got to read a ton of new fic.

I started creating articles for the stories; so far only a few of the big fics done, but I’m chugging along. The Mad Max category is filling out!

[thatonezombiecosplayer]

This has been a long time coming, but what with Corvus Cormax winning one of the awards in the recent Mad Max Fanfic Awards @so-shiny-so-chrome, this seemed like a good time to finally get this out there

So. Now YOU TOO can own your very own copy of Corvus Cormax, complete with the full story by myself (Donda on AO3) AND all of the raven!Max art, both original and story-inspired by @icarus-doodles / @icarusdusoleil

Much much thanks to @thebyrchentwigges for doing pretty much all the work of actually building and formatting this book for publication - I would have been lost without her!

And as a note: this is purely a fanwork, and neither Icarus, Byrch, nor myself are making any money off the sales of this book. What you pay is solely the base cost for materials and work charged by Blurb to produce the item. Profit isn’t the point, the point is to share with all of you something that we loved creating and hopefully you will enjoy owning <3

[heartofstanding]

so um that mad max fic i wrote about toast has been nominated for an award at the mad max 2017 fanfic awards. 

kinda blown away right now.

[so-shiny-so-chrome]

Mad Max Fanfic Awards

Y'all feel like another go?

We can:

1) Run like last year with 2018 fics and previously un-nominated older fics eligible.

2) Same as 1) but move to a different platform.

3) Wait until next year and then award 2018 and 2019 fics.

Please reply with you choice or alternative suggestion.

[so-shiny-so-chrome]

Creator Spotlight Nominations

I'm in the process of sending out interview forms to nominated creators through Tumblr messaging. If you have Tumblr messaging turned off or would like to self-nominate, follow this link.

Forms will be published as I receive them. It's a bit long; you can always save your progress by hitting submit and then edit later. Of course, no deadlines, no pressure, this is meant to be fun; only share as much as you feel comfortable sharing.

Witness, the medium length finalists, all 18 of them. Completed 2015-2016 ht 10 hands, 180 lbs, No Name By Primarybufferpanel(ArwenLune) 2015 Rated T It's not the reunion Furiosa had hoped for. Max is like he was when she first met him, except maybe worse - muzzled, snarling, on the verge of fear-biting. Also, in desperate need of medical treatment. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4040875 Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things By Icarusdusoleil 2015 Rated T Furiosa finds herself getting increasingly restless and leaves the Citadel behind for a long trip with Max. He has a destination in mind, but sometimes the journey is more important than the destination itself. As they drive through the deserted wastes, Furiosa learns a lot about Max and herself. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4979764/chapters/11437531 Salvage and Scrap By Battle_cat 2016 Rated T for Graphic Depictions of Violence Ace and Valkyrie are both left for dead on the Fury Road. They're not dead. At least not yet. http://archiveofourown.org/works/6369058/chapters/14588389 Completed 2017 Go the Long Way Round By Owlship 2017 Rated T with Graphic Depictions of Violence Max and Furiosa receive a reminder that in the wasteland, gunshots and car chases aren't the only dangers. https://archiveofourown.org/works/10867719 Stranded by Livia_LeRynn Begun in 2016, Completed in 2017 Rated M with Graphic Depictions of Violence Max and Furiosa spend a night in the wastes while they wait for a tow, but they aren't the only ones stranded. This was supposed to be a quiet, little camping fic, but it had other plans. https://archiveofourown.org/works/8365450/chapters/19162807 Trust Fall By Spatz Begun in 2015, completed in 2017 Rated T Seven conversations on the Fury Road. https://archiveofourown.org/works/4488546/chapters/10203948 A World Built on Hope By Bluebeholder 2017 Rated T After the return to the Citadel, there is work to be done. Everyone must work together in order to find a better path, and make the world a kinder, greener place. http://archiveofourown.org/works/9797054/chapters/22000328 Ship 2015 After the Fire By Primarybufferpanel and bonehandledknife 15 Rated E Furiosa/Max He folded her fingers around the seeds. “I’d forgotten but, when there’s a fire, the seeds crack." He shifted, and looked down, and stepped back. “That’s a bad thing?” “I’d thought.” Max shook his head, “No, the cracks… it’s easier for water to get in.” “Easier for them to green," Furiosa said quietly. Max nodded, and she nodded. And he made his way from her after a long glance, this man who’d once cut her open so that she could breathe. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4263636 Around the Corner By Owlship 15 Rated E Furiosa/Max In which Max has a pet shop (named The Pet Shop), a dog (named Dog), and a massive crush on single-mother Furiosa. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4554561 The Citadel that Never Sleeps By Xenowhore 15 Nux/Slit Rated E "They’d had their share of fumbling in the bunk at night, but nothing had ever really come of it, though Slit didn’t try at all to hide his intentions, the smug prick. If he only knew that for the last six months, his driver had been sneaking away at night into the depths of the Citadel to dance naked for other war boys." The Polecat is the Citadels only strip club, and Nux is their star attraction. Slit finds out about Nux's nighttime activities and decides he wants a show. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4175376/chapters/9426894 Giving Ease By Becdot 15 NR, Creator Chooses not to use Archive Warnings Furiosa/Max This is what happened on the Fury Road. https://archiveofourown.org/works/4083991/chapters/9198481 Zero to Sixty By Battle_cat 15 Rated E Furiosa/Max Max comes back. Furiosa wants. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4983841/chapters/11447485 Years 2016 and later Atmospheric Phenomena By Owlship 17 Rated G Furiosa/Max/Furi "Furiosa?" Dag asks. When Furiosa glances over from the repair job she's working on Dag's on her stomach, feet waving in the air and her concentration seemingly on some sort of book on the ground in front of her face. "How old are you?" https://archiveofourown.org/works/11824614 Between Sun and Geography By Owlship 16 M Furiosa/Max She can barely look at the wastelander's wings. They're poor ratty things, the feathers cracking and brittle, dissolving into dust and leaving visible gaps even when he has them tightly furled. Everyone knows that if your wingmate dies you'll never fly again, but Furiosa has never seen the damage up close like this. http://archiveofourown.org/works/8510434 Crux By Livia_lerynn 17 Rated G Max/Furiosa/Ghost Valkyrie/Ghost Jessie After her death on the Fury Road, The Valkyrie wanders alone until she finds Max and her only chance to get to the Citadel and to Furiosa. https://archiveofourown.org/works/11797938/chapters/26611194 Perigee By battle_cat 16 Rated E Furiosa/Max Five times Max came back to the Citadel and one time he stayed. https://archiveofourown.org/works/7476900 Take the A Train By Jaetion 16-17 Rated T Slit/Toast Toast runs into a tall, dark, and handsome stranger during her morning commute. Did she say "handsome?" She meant annoying. http://archiveofourown.org/works/7918489/chapters/18093928 Wifed By Redcandle17 15-16 Rated T Slit/Toast, Capable/Nux Slit, under the impression that Furiosa gave Capable to Nux, demands a wife as well. The Wives decide to troll him, and Slit doesn't realize what he's in for when Toast is "given" to him. https://archiveofourown.org/works/5162213/chapters/11888690 @redcandle17 @jaesauce @fuckyeahisawthat @livia-lerynn @v8roadworrier @becdot @cactusspatz @shiningstar-kastle @primarybufferpanel @bonehandledknife @bluebeholder @icarusdusoleil

[so-shiny-so-chrome]

This is one of our favourite categories: awards specifically for fic with a low hits to word count ratio. (The exact definition of “low” varies depending on fic length with some leeway given to older fic.) Help us shine a light on some chrome by giving these fics a read and by voting for your favourites. Remember, you get one vote per fic grouping, but you CAN change that vote once it has been submitted.

All the World’s Water is Leaving    By Heartofstanding    16    Rated    M with Rape/Non-Con The counting and reckoning of Toast’s days, from the time she was too little to count them to her escape. https://archiveofourown.org/works/7971421

Breathing easier    By Splinter    16        Rated G You make a choice, and then you live with it. Toast and one of the Vuvalini go scouting in the desert, some time after the events of Fury Road.        https://archiveofourown.org/works/6637093

Build God and then we’ll talk    By Lc2l    15    Rated G Cars break and blow all the time, there’s never enough to go around. It’s test number two: build a car that won’t blow until you’re witnessed racing down Fury Road. Build a car before the lumps at your neck can suck you dry and leave you forgotten. Want to make it to Valhalla, you gotta die on the road. You gotta make it to the road.        https://archiveofourown.org/works/4376456

Paths Outside the Garden    By SilverDagger    15    Rated    G    The world has changed, but the Endless endure, and weave through the lives of the survivors. Crossover with Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series, and probably won’t make much sense without some knowledge.    https://archiveofourown.org/works/4077202/chapters/9181291

Salvage    By VictorSinister    16    Rated T    Max meets a War Boy who’s suffering similar mental health issues to his own, and considers what he could do to help. (Mild body horror warning for Morsov’s scars and missing arm.)    http://archiveofourown.org/works/7362691

17-18

7000 Days Part II By Livia_lerynn    16-18    Rated M with Graphic Depictions of Violence and Rape/Non-Con Stolen from her homeland, Furiosa must learn to survive as a captive wife of Immortan Joe. Her dreams of home will stay just that unless she can apply the lessons of her Mothers and learn to bond with her new teacher and fellow wives. https://archiveofourown.org/works/7309189/chapters/16600648

Backbeat    By Jaetion    17    Rated T        That first night was a long one, but didn’t feel like much. Didn’t even feel like a beginning. Furiosa met Angharad and her crew, and the steady beat of the city skipped a bit. Modern AU, takes place before the events in 6SS. Makes more sense if read with the rest of the series. http://archiveofourown.org/works/12556684

If you give a pup a flamethrower    By Tyellas    17    Rated    G    If you let a pup near your Interceptor, he’ll tease you. If you let him tease you, he’ll tease someone else. If he gets away with that, he might get a flamethrower. And if he gets a flamethrower, he’ll want to use it!    https://archiveofourown.org/works/13020924

A New Hobby     By Thoughtfulfangirl    17    Rated G    When asked for a prompt, I received: “Maybe something with Furiosa and finding a new hobby, now that she has time to pursue stuff that’s not all ‘manly’ and stuff?” "    https://archiveofourown.org/works/11851842                             Witness ship   

Crux    By Livia_lerynn    17    Max/Furi/Ghost Valkyrie/Ghost Jessie    Rated G    After her death on the Fury Road, The Valkyrie wanders alone until she finds Max and her only chance to get to the Citadel and to Furiosa.

Perihelion    By Proprioception (sacrificethemtothesquid)    17    Max/Furi    Rated E with Creator Chooses Not to Warn and Rape/Non-Con The risk of getting so close is the risk they’ll burn up entirely.

For your consideration, promising WiPs: Wip gen Blue Skies and Satellites By Telm_393 15 Rated M Creator Chooses Not To Warn Max Rockatansky’s lost a lot, so much that he’s only got one person left to lose: his troubled eleven year old adopted son Nux. It’s been hard to find a place to settle down, but Max is determined that the town of Citadel is going to be where they stay. He counted on he and Nux continuing their difficult, isolated existence together, trying as best as they can to have a good life anyway. He didn’t count on he and Nux making a connection with their neighbor Furiosa and her five adopted daughters. And Furiosa definitely didn’t count on it either. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4113082/chapters/9269482

To Love Reptiles By Weirdness_Unlimited 16-17 Rated M with Graphic Depictions Of Violence What would happen if Slit survived the carnage of the final chase to re-capture the wives? The Razor Cola was crushed between two massive rigs. The gas tank blew. Max Rockatansky’s car has been reduced to a crumpled up heap of scrap, but something inside is still breathing. What would you do if you found something that could survive the madness of Fury Road? How crazy would you have to be to bring that broken creature home with you? http://archiveofourown.org/works/6542803/chapters/14968201

The Outside By Fadagaski 16 Rated T American High School AU. No, really. Based on a Tumblr prompt for an amusement park AU. http://archiveofourown.org/works/5874475/chapters/13867615

Redemption By DareyoutoRead 15-17 Rated T, Creator Chooses Not To Warn “Seeking to forget makes exile all the longer; the secret of redemption lies in remembrance.” - Richard von Weizsaecker http://archiveofourown.org/works/4030597

Water in the Desert By Toothybeastie 15 Rated T, Graphic Depictions Of Violence After her mother the Dag’s death, Milkweed left the Citadel to find her own way in the wasteland…and to find Imperator Furiosa, who hasn’t been seen for years. However, nothing ever goes according to plan. The wastes are a dangerous place, but she hardly expected to encounter a man with a strange set of tattoos covering his arm, tattoos that a whole legion of people seem willing to kill for. She soon finds herself in the midst of a war, the stakes of which could mean control of the entire wasteland…or destruction of everything her mother and Furiosa worked so hard to gain. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4069975/chapters/9162607

When Ghosts Speak By Hornswaggler 15 Rated T Everyone in the Shatterdome knew of Furisoa. Nobody really needed to know of Max.

It’s three am so of course I started a Pacific Rim!Mad Max AU. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4126744

Wip ship The Crux By Lafiametta 15 Max/furi, gen Rated T Another night at Citadel Rock Climbing and Furiosa’s just about had it. She’s had it with her pervy boss and her weirdo co-workers. She’s had it with the depressing realization that, because of the accident, she may never climb again. And then a stranger shows up… and the night becomes a little more interesting. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4227267

Found By Ssstrychnine 15-16 Max/furi Rated T For a prompt on tumblr asking for Furiosa taking care of Max. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4010287

The Fountain By Yahtzee 15 Max/furi Rated E, Creator Chooses not to Warn Four years ago–or maybe three–Max found some small measure of hope and redemption on the Fury Road. Since then, he’s never been back, never tried to hear how Furiosa and the Wives fared, never even let himself travel too far to the West. But now, dying of flesh rot, Max is captured by a raiding party and is forced to face what he has feared the most since that terrible time three years ago. Or maybe four. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4066027

Roads to Valhalla or Somewhere Like It by Fancyladysnackcakes 15 Multi Rated E, Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Rape/Non-Con Nux pulls himself out of death for another kiss from Capable. Coma’s halved Axe is all he has left and Slit…could have faired better. Some of the luckier War Boys were spared death but the rest The Dag will plant with the seeds for the new world and among it all Toast is just trying to find a purpose amongst the shift in the air. The rest, well there’s no telling really. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4682774/chapters/10689179

The Same side By Fadagaski 16 Max/furi Rated T It’s the end of Junior year, and Max and Furiosa are looking at their first summer of the rest of their lives. Or: High School AU 2 - The Fluffinator. https://archiveofourown.org/works/6124749/chapters/14036094

Survival Mode By Singlewhitecatlady 16 Max/Furi, Cap/Nux, or gen Rated M, Graphic Depictions Of Violence Max moves his finger on the touch pad. “How much ammo do you have?” The kid says, something like sick glee in his voice. Max hesitates, “Nine rounds.” The kid giggles; “You’re gonna die!” http://archiveofourown.org/works/5800594/chapters/13369210

What a Difference a Day Made By Felonazcorp 15 Max/Furi Rated M For the first time in five thousand, five hundred days, Furiosa lets herself be held. https://archiveofourown.org/works/4033267/chapters/9069520

WiP Ship 2016-17

Another Man’s Woman By proprioception (sacrificethemtothesquid) 17 Max/furi Rated E, Creator Chooses Not to Warn Joe is long dead, but his influence lingers. Max’s mission is to change all that. AKA squid attempts to write a series of one-shot smutfic (snerk) without getting derailed by plot. [Edited to add: AND SOMETIMES GETS DERAILED BY PLOT] http://archiveofourown.org/works/11425002/chapters/25597899

Rangeland By Frostbitepanda 15-17 Max/furi Rated E with Graphic Depictions Of Violence The truth was, he was out here to kill himself. (Furiosa finds a stray in the Outback. Modern AU in which our heroes work a cattle station.) https://archiveofourown.org/works/4657062/chapters/10624215

A rock and a hard place By Jaetion 16-18 multi Rated M Toast doesn’t need anyone slowing her down, and Slit doesn’t need anyone in his way. She’s busy with plotting out her future, he has trouble enough already with his gang falling apart, and neither of them is interested in taking their eyes off the road. But as they roam through the streets of Citadel City, they keep running into each other. Modern city AU, with side Capable/Nux. Makes more sense if read with 6SS. http://archiveofourown.org/works/6108001/chapters/13999753

A Toast to the Future By Juliettdelta 15-17 Slit/Toast NR Toast is looking for a sense of purpose in the Newly Risen Again Citadel, and well, she might not find that, but at least she can find comfort in Unexpected Places. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4844234?view_full_work=true

Where the Furies Call By Owlship 17 Max/furi Rated E Furiosa may have grown up at the Green Place surrounded by Many Mothers instead of as a cog in the Citadel’s human machinery, but at the end of the world things are still never easy. http://archiveofourown.org/works/11320098/chapters/25337319

Somebody Out There By Tyellas 16 Rated M with Graphic Depictions of Violence A road warrior stumbles on an enduring satellite base, and the missions and madness inside are a match for his own. What does it take to open the door to the apocalypse? The answer’s in there. Under a tinfoil hat, tangled in a faded flag, inside the manual for the end of the world. If it’s not too late - if there’s still somebody out there. https://archiveofourown.org/works/9044507

Everybody Had a Show by Splinter 17 Rated G There’s so much Toast can’t recall, or never knew. She wants to rage at the time stolen from her: all the things she could have been doing, could have been learning. She would spit on Joe, for taking that from her. http://archiveofourown.org/works/11814003

Five Thumbs By Fadagaski 17 Rated G Five times Max gave a thumbs up to the Wives, and one time they gave it back. https://archiveofourown.org/works/10936299

Ship 15

And in Blood and Worse By Frosbitepanda 15 Furiosa/Max Rated G He returns one cool night, 150 days after he had left her last, burdened with scavenged guzzoline and pilfered guns. https://archiveofourown.org/works/4144179

Sandcastles By Xenowhore 15 Nux/Slit Rated E “The coupe creaks as Slit climbs up behind him, brushing against his body, securing his hands with the rope. It is smooth along his skin, his fingers still have wiggle room but he wants it tight, tighter – wants to be a prisoner – and then his body jerks as Slit finishes the knot roughly with one yank.” http://archiveofourown.org/works/4237650 Witnessed By Yahtzee 15 Furiosa/Max Rated E Creator Chooses Not to Warn Immortan Joe liked all those eyes on him, so he got done faster. That was all you could ask for, him finishing faster and leaving. And what did it matter if they were seen naked on all fours for Joe? Being watched was nothing, compared to having to do it. And so these women, who had been watched in the act of sex countless times, did not see such witnessing as a violation. They only knew that, once begun, no one was to interrupt. https://archiveofourown.org/works/4043263

Ship 16 Drawing from Memory By Battle_Cat 16 Furiosa/Max Rated G For the prompt “Paint me”: Max/Furiosa. https://archiveofourown.org/works/8558152 Reunion By Battle_cat 16 Furiosa/Max Rated E “Did you miss me?” A low rumble against her neck between kisses. “Always.” https://archiveofourown.org/works/5673769

Though the Way is Clear By Frosbitepanda 16 Furiosa/Max Rated M Everything dies and he was gone, she was sure of that. (Max and Furiosa have to deal with something.) https://archiveofourown.org/works/5958243/chapters/13694022

Weak spot By Battle_cat 16 Furiosa/Max Rated M A scavenging run takes a dangerous turn when Max and Furiosa get taken prisoner. http://archiveofourown.org/works/5988850

Ship 17

Flutterby By Owlship 17 Furiosa/Max Rated G There’s an insect clinging to a piece of the charred wood, wings full of shockingly vivid colors, blues and blacks iridescent in the sunlight.

In Your Shadow Tyellas 17 Furiosa/Valkyrie Rated E Valkyrie lives! And her road to the Citadel gets her stories about Furiosa’s Citadel deeds.
