Dru's 2022 Starbound Fic Roundup

Quick Stats

Fics added to the WIP pile this year: 9 Fics completed this year: 8 Fics remaining on the WIP pile: 7 Total W/C this year for Starbound Fics: 11,634

Fic Popularity

I've measured this as an amalgamation between Tumblr Notes and AO3's Kudos. Most - A Place No Good Man Should Go Least - While the Sun Shines

Work I'm most proud of

Tales of the Starbound: The Barkeep's Tale The Barkeep's Tale was started in 2015, and while admittedly it was part of a NaNo and I knew then it wasn't perfect, I thought it was reasonably well crafted. But when I rewrote it - nearly from scratch - and read it back, I realised just how much I've improved - mostly in the last 2 years.

Work that still shows I'm learning

I think my SB fics are all of the same reasonable quality (except While the Sun Shines - I wrote that while sick so it doesn't count), so maybe it's one of the WIPs that I'm struggling to bring into being, such as SBSP prpmpt greenfinger.

Work I think should have gotten more love

Tales of the Starbound: The Barkeep's Tale. As noted I'm very proud of it, and it took a lot more effort to perfect than the others, so I'm a little disappointed it didn't do as well. Maybe I should have added a screenshot…

Snow (Day 2)

Notes: This prompt from @drawlight 's Advent Calendar got away from me. It started out as a simple idea about Crowley's first snow but my brain kept asking questions like "Where are they?" and "What are they even doing there?" I'm still not satisfied with the answers, nor have I edited this as extensively as I prefer, but neither of those are the point of this exercise.

54 BC - Gaul

Crowley patted the cheek of the soldier, who had filled her cup with the dark local beer, in thanks.  Then she leaned conspiratorially close and dropped a few whispered words, pointing out the strapping youth across the hall, with braids in their hair and an unmaidenly interest in swords.

The Roman army had settled into the small town a few weeks after the autumn equinox and had been there a month now.  Crowley was there with the camp women ostensibly to tempt the soldiers to lust, but she was having a much more success matchmaking Romans with the locals.  After all, she reasoned, it was illegal for soldiers to marry, so every wedding was an act of rebellion - a sin far greater than simple lust. Best of all, Aziraphale didn’t seem to mind, he even performed a few of the secret weddings.  Between the two of them they had helped almost twenty soldiers disappear into the countryside with a new beloved in just the few short months Crowley had been following the army.

Aziraphale, on the other hand, had been here for three years.  He’d crossed the Alps with the main army. Crowley had been in Ethiopia at the time.  Never one to say no to the sea, Crowley had come to Gaul via ship to the mediterrianian southern shore, before heading north.  By the time Crowley had caught up to the army, Aziraphale had developed a weariness around his eyes that Crowley hadn’t seen since the flood.  But he had smiled when he saw Crowley, and if performing secret weddings brought a glimmer back to his eye, well that was just an added bonus and definitely not Crowley’s primary motivation for anything.

With the soldier’s interest distracted, Crowley returned to Aziraphale near the fire.  He cut a striking figure in his legionnaire’s uniform, with the red edging on his tunic and his heavy fur cloak.  He was looking at the couple Crowley had paired up.

“How do you do that?” he asked.  “Know how to match two people up.  Look at them. They’re already starting to glow with love.”

Crowley turned to look at the couple. “I don’t know, I just -” she pursed her lips and squinted. “Their desires make … mirror shapes. Like they fill in each other’s gaps.”

Aziraphale shook his head, with a small smile. “I’m still not sure how that qualifies as a sin.”

Crowley growled.  “I told you, angel.  It’s disobedience and oath-breaking and -”

“Yes, I know all that part,” Aziraphale interrupted. “I just don’t know how this part - two people loving each other, making each other happy - is a sin.”  He was still gazing at the couple and was beginning to look a little starry eyed.

“Give ‘em forty minutes,” Crowley grumbled into her drink. “And it’s gonna look plenty sinful.” She drained her cup and stood up.  “Come on, let’s go.” With the nights getting tragically cold, she had wanted to stay near the fire for as long as possible, but if Aziraphale’s face got any softer she was going to hurl.  She ducked out the door, steeling herself against the cold. Outside though she stopped in surprise.

At first she thought something was on fire.  The air was full of ash. No, no, it wasn’t ash.  The flakes were whiter. She held out a hand and a few bits landed on her fingers.  It didn’t smear like ash. It turned to … water?

“What the fuck?” Crowley announced.

Aziraphale chuckled from where he had come to stand beside her.  “It’s snow. It’s snowing.”

“Snow?” Crowley repeated doubtfully.

“This far north,” Aziraphale explained, looking at the dark sky. “It gets cold enough that water freezes.  It turns from a liquid into a solid. When the rain freezes, it becomes snowflakes. Tiny crystals.”

“What. The.  Fuck.” Crowley reiterated with more venom.  “It’s so cold that the splashy, sloshy stuff becomes rocks?”

Aziraphale chuckled again.  “I suppose so.”

“No,” Crowley said flatly.

Aziraphale raised his eyebrows and hummed questioningly.

“I am not staying here for months while the water is all ... rocks.” She shivered and pulled her shawl tighter. 

Aziraphale smiled fondly. “Come on,” he said as he lifted the edge of his heavy cloak and draped it around Crowley, tucking her under his arm and close to his body. “Let’s get you someplace warm.”

The white fur was soft on Crowley’s cheek and inside the cloak was significantly warmer than the air outside. They both stood there for a moment, looking at each other and thinking about a wall long ago and another shelter of white Aziraphale had offered, another storm.

Here is warm. Crowley thought. I could stay here. Instead she grumbled “I’ll start a rebellion if I have to. Then we could both go someplace warm.”

“Maybe so,” Aziraphale replied as they started off across the town, through the gently falling snow.

Definitely so. Crowley’s thoughts drifted back to the youth with the interest in swords and some of the things she’d heard them say.  But for now, she huddled closer to Aziraphale’s warmth, safe - for a little while - from the wind and the bitingly cold crystals in the air and anything else any storm might throw at them.

Dark fairy prompts???

“If you love, just me go. Please.”“You are light,” the fairy crooned, “in a world long since gone dark. Warmth in coldness.” They caressed their prize - humanity as delicate as a candle easily pinched and snuffed out. “How could I not keep you?” And, if light and warmth came to the Winter Court to wither and die, then flowers had short shelf lives and more could always be found to brighten the fairy’s home for a while.
