Today's fanworks from the 2022 Steter Bang. Unfortunately, the artwork isn't showing. It's just the description of the art, but it sounds like it was good!

20 questions for fic writers!

Thanks for the tag @lumosatnight [see here]!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Technically 50 (I think) because one of them is in an anonymous collection so AO3 is telling me 49. I’m considering putting some more earlier works as anonymous so that number might change soon.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

245,593… but I haven’t written at least 100k of that because they’re collabs where I did art (such as WLW Big Bang 2022).

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling (44)

Teen Wolf (3)

Marvel (3)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Three Days, Three Perspectives [Drarry, E, 6.5k]

An Expensive Courtship [Drarry, E, 10.9k]

Petrichor [Steter, T, 2.5k]

Snapshots of a Pregnancy [Drarry, T, 3.8k]

🙀 ➡ 😻 ➡ 😽 [Stony, T, 5.2k]

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

I’m terrible about doing this, so I’m very sporadic about it, but every comment means so much to me! I just see it and if I don’t respond immediately, they just pile up and then I never get to it? 100% getting better at replying with my ongoing WIP, What Large Hands You Have (The Better to Embrace You With) [Steter, M, 14.7k so far], since I’m posting as I write and the encouragement means SO much!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Half Past One [Drarry, M, 2.5k] which was a horror fic (my one and only one) that I wrote for a Wheel of Drarry mini exchange. There’s MCD. And gore.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I almost never not write happy endings, BUT I’m going to go with Pinocchio [Neville/Harry, E, 3.9k] because it’s crack-y, fun, and Harry gets off a ton of times. (Mostly unintentionally).

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I’ve had a couple rude-ish comments? Someone said that it would be better if it were longer, which was kind of ??? It was one of my first works and the mods reached out to me about it and they were super supportive and kind. (This is also the fic that is now anonymous, for unrelated reasons.)

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

I’ve written some PWPs. A little of everything, really… and a fair number of my longer works include some sex scenes. I probably read more kinky content than I write (beyond the watersports fics because apparently I have multiple?), but yeah. Pro-smut here.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Nope. I’ve read a few, but it’s mostly not my thing.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes! And I only found out because the person didn’t realize that it was stealing to repost on Wattpad and then apologized and asked how I felt about it…

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

My tango fic, The Cabeceo [Drarry, E, 1.9k], was translated into Spanish by @stargazing-enby last year for HD Owl Post. Which was such an amazing and wonderful gift to receive, especially because *tango*. I definitely feel like I’ve grown a lot as a writer since I first wrote it, but it’s very near and dear to me and having a translation (which I can read!) even more so. If it gives anyone any ideas… I can read Portuguese and Spanish!

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

Co-written? No. I’ve done art for various people before and participated in several big bangs/reverse big bangs as both an author and an artist. (ETA: 100% have co-written multiple fics no idea how I forgot those when I first answered)

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Flintwood. (And yes, I’ve had full on spreads in my journal dedicated to Flintwood.) Don’t ask me why, but those are my athletic rivals to lovers absolute hands down favorite. For Teen Wolf, I started in Steter (so it remains my #1) and one of my all-time top comfort reads is a Steter fic, This Time Around by Green (and someone else who no longer is associated with the work), which I received a bound copy of last year as part of the Renegade Bookbinding Exchange.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

“Green Glows and Ginger Greens” is a Flintwood WIP that I have 20k written of, edited and posted chapter one and it’s been… 2 years. I hope to get back to it (and my other unposted Flintwood hanahaki I’ve been talking about for about as long), but it’s just… not happened.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Idea generation, maybe? I think I tend to be really good at coming up with ideas and starting writing projects that have the potential to be really interesting. I love kind of crack-y ideas, and I’ve been trying to be better at actually delving into those instead of going “this is too weird, no one will read it.” (Example: I wrote a fic from a bathroom’s POV and it still makes me laugh.)

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I tend to come up with ideas that spiral out of control, but I’m terrible at finishing things so I procrastinate and then it gets rushed and not as strong as it could be. Also not using betas that often because of said procrastination. And feeling awkward about it because I never leave enough time for editing.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I love it, especially when it’s a language I speak and am like “Yes! This adds some cultural context”, etc. But also, such an important thing to get people to double check that before just throwing it in.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Back when I was a wee bb in high school? Either Protector of the Small or Harry Potter. As an adult? Also Harry Potter.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

Completed on AO3? Herbology_Neville and DragonKeeperCW [Neville/Charlie, E, 11k] which was the fic I worked on whenever I was procrastinating on other fics. I’ve always wanted to go back to that universe and just haven’t had a chance, but… Neville and Charlie are adorable and I love them. I’m also loving the fic I’m posting now, as mentioned it’s What Large Hands You Have (The Better To Embrace You With), which was for Steter Bang because it really is reflective a lot of me as a person. Otherwise, I really loved the Green Glows/Snuggling, Smoothies, and Sons-in-Law universe (just need to finish both of those…)

Tagging (i never know who to tag!): @sugareey-makes-stuff (again, even though I know you were already tagged), @drwhoisginnyholmes, @makeitp1nk

[teenwerewoofs]

hii! for the ask thingie, 5, 9, 20? ^^

Hi! Thanks for playing! 🥰

5. When did you get into bookbinding?

Last summer! I wanna say roughly July 2022? I was doing some research for the 2022 Steter Mini Bang on different types of fanart that exist and ended up doing a deep dive into ficbinding and, well, now here we are lol.

9. How would you describe your binding style?

Simplistic lmao. “Clean & simple,” I guess. I h8 making design decisions, so I’m more of a basic bitch when it comes to style 🙈

20. If you had to give past!you one advice about bookbinding what would it be, and is it the same advice you give newbies?

I would tell past!me, “Look. Yes, the speed running things works for you & you should definitely keep doing it because you DO learn a lot & you actually get things done when you do it. But, also, maybe you should try working on things a little at a time and not have such an ‘all or nothing’ mindset, babe. 😬”

To newbies, I would say, “DO NOT do the speed running thing. It’s unnecessarily stressful, when you can just be chugging along instead. Slow and steady, friend. And don’t be afraid to just dive in & make mistakes! The only way to actually learn is to actually DO.”

If Only Faces Could Talk, by @cathcer1984

Art for the @steter-bang !

[bettertasting]

Stiles slides out of Peter’s arms and pulls Peter back towards his bedroom, peeling off his shirt as he goes. Peter pulls his own shirt off, and stares down at Stiles, running his eyes over his naked chest. What he thought were tattoos before are actually Lichtenberg figures that spread across his chest, over his shoulders, and down the tops of his arms.

Peter crawls over him and presses their naked chests together, craving skin on skin contact. A shock runs through him as he realizes that Stiles’s body is cold; not cold like someone who has been outside too long, but cold in the way that a flame is warm: constant and spreading. He looks down into Stiles’ eyes and sees the endless depths of ancient and unknown galaxies, and in that moment he knows that Stiles is both Stiles and something else entirely.

“What are you?” Peter breathes out the question like a prayer.

@meggie-stardust / Wreck wrote an INCREDIBLE fic for the Steter Mini Bang 2022 and I was lucky enough to partner with her on my first fanwork for both the fandom and the pairing. I had SO MANY RESERVATIONS about joining in but I’m so happy I did, and her support was unwavering 💕

Come check out her fic At This Truth We Have Arrived and my art here!

Can’t wait to do more for this fandom 😍

[meggie-stardust]

Friends, I'd like to present my @steter-bang 2022 fic and the stunning art by my partner @bettertasting. This is her first contribution to the TW/Steter fandom, and I am so damn lucky that she was my partner for this. Y'all have to tell her how amazing the art is so she keeps giving us Steter content. 💜

This fic wouldn't have gotten anywhere without the cheerleading from my co-mods @teenwerewoofs and @midmorning-bomb, and the words of wisdom and encouragement from @punchedbymarkesmith.

At This Truth We Have Arrived

After years of exacting revenge on the Argents for the murder of Laura, Peter returns to Beacon Hills only to be confronted by the truth that the pack has moved on without him. But the fact that everything he once knew has changed isn't necessarily a bad thing; not when there is someone like Stiles who is so full of possibilities.

OR as my WIP notes for this fic say: "Peter is curious. They do something. Murder murder. Sex sex."

“Okay, so the thing is, and I’m not criticizing you here,” Stiles says as they turn off the main road and onto a ranger access road, “but the thing is that when you got rid of all the Argents, some folks may have taken that as an invitation to, you know, take their place.” Peter slams on the breaks and turns to Stiles as the car skids to a halt on the dirt road. “Have you been dealing with other hunting families?” “Ugh, no,” Stiles says, rubbing at the spot where the seat belt tightened over his chest. “Not families. More like the odd vigilante.” “That’s still not great, but––” “Until now,” Stiles interrupts. “This one, Monroe, I think she might be a bigger problem if we don’t…” “Take care of her?” “Take care of. Murder. Po-tay-to. Po-tah-to,” Stiles says easily. “The point is she’s recruiting.”

Read At This Truth We Have Arrived and see the amazing art on AO3.

No Secrets

Teen Wolf (Peter/Stiles) | Explicit | 9,935 words

Stiles gets hit by a truth spell that makes him want to spill all his darkest, deepest secrets. Derek, knowing how dangerous this can be, hides him away in the loft while he goes to ask Deaton for help. Which is when Peter Hale finds him. -- “You don’t want to be here when Deaton arrives,” Peter said. “He’ll use you.” Stiles rolled his eyes. “And you won’t?” he asked. Peter smirked. “Who would you rather have using you, sweetheart?”

This is my fic for Steter Bang 2022, and it's accompanied by incredible artwork by @midmorning-bomb. I can't stop looking at the gorgeous Tarot deck she created for this work. @steter-bang

Stiles was so ready to kick back and enjoy his summer. The sun was warm and inviting. So he shifted and basked in the warmth. He should've been more careful.

our marrows mixing

(frankie_31, Team Alpha Work)

What can you trust when you can't trust your own mind?

That night in the woods, Stiles Stilinski saw something horrible happen. But now, in the light of day, he can't find any proof to support his memories. Is he insane? Or is there something going on in Beacon Hills that defies explanation? All roads seem to lead back to the abandoned and burned Hale House-- And to the mysterious Peter Hale. But being right may mean that Stiles has an even nastier problem to deal with. If what he saw that night was real, what does he do about it? Who can he trust? What does Laura Hale know?

And please enjoy this story’s direct epilogue, written by my partner, @meggie-stardust.

The Storm Has Passed

(Wreck, Team Red Work)

As Laura recovers from being tortured by Kate Argent, she reflects what's left of her pack and watches as the bond grows between Stiles and Peter.

I would like to formally introduce @meggie-stardust and our Team Alpha/Red fics for the @steter-bang. This was a unique challenge that was very rewarding. I’d like to thank the challenge runners, @meggie-stardust @teenwerewoofs and @midmorning-bomb. I would like to especially thank my Team Red partner, @meggie-stardust.

This piece was also done for the @steter-bang ^_^ I can’t resist sharing it now that we’re on Sept 3rd!

[steter-bang]

Oh my gosh! I totally forgot to post this yesterday! (And Taco Tuesday because I think it's funny and I already used throwback for Thursday.)

Today's fics include a remix, in case you were wondering what that might look like.

Green Yarn by GoldenDaydreams

Summary:

The pack sits at the long harvest table inside the loft. There are books spread out on top of printed out sheets of paper from the last meeting, only days prior. They’re all quiet, sombre. Long gone are the days of teasing and banter; there are no jokes or laughter anymore.  Peter keeps his distance from them, sitting on the spiral staircase. He’d prefer to have as little to do with Scott McCall and his little band of misfits as possible, but for this cause, they are united. Today marks four months. Four months that Stiles Stilinski has been missing.  They still know nothing. 

Found You (A Green Yarn Remix) by ambersagen

Summary:

> There’s an omega in the preserve Three months have gone by since Peter seemingly vanished off the face of the earth, and Stiles is determined to find him. He wont be deterred by danger, no matter how...cuddly?

Work in Progress Wednesday

So I'm writing a series of snippets to go with the lovely story I've been given to work with. Some are other POV, like this one.

-----

John stood in the doorway to Stiles' room. The sound of older rock music playing had drawn him in and he was stunned to see Stiles curled around the old radio that Claudia had loved. The radio that hadn't worked since before Claudia had died.

Stiles obviously had been crying over something, he could see the tear tracks on Stiles' face, but John's attention was drawn back to the radio. He had given it to Claudia on their first wedding anniversary. She had complained about how quiet the house was, especially when he worked the night shift. Being the new guy in the department meant the worst shifts, and that meant a lot of overnight shifts.

She had lit up when she unwrapped the box.

"It's perfect!" she had cooed. "Thank you, so much!"

"Plug it in," John said. "Let's see how it sounds."

She had done so and quickly found a station that played rock music.

"This is so cool!" she said. She held out a hand. "Come on, dance with me!"

John wasn't much of a dancer but couldn't resist in the face of such enthusiasm.  Shaking himself, John moved into the room to check on his son.

I'm like 85% done with this fic, I just need to get it over the finish line... I can't believe we are so close to the hand off for the first part of the @steter-bang.

“Okay, so the thing is, and I’m not criticizing you here,” Stiles says as they turn off the main road and onto a ranger access road into the preserve, “but the thing is that when you got rid of all the Argents, some folks may have taken that as an invitation to, you know, take their place.”

Peter slams on the breaks and turns to Stiles as the car skids to a halt on the dirt road. “Have you been dealing with other hunting families?”

“Ugh, no,” Stiles says, rubbing at the spot where the seat belt tightened over his chest. “Not families. More like the odd vigilante.”

“That’s still not great, but––”

“Until now,” Stiles interrupts. “This one, Monroe, I think she might be a bigger problem if we don’t…”

“Take care of her?”

“Take care of. Murder. Po-tay-to. Po-tah-to,” Stiles says easily. “The point is she’s recruiting.”

“Other hunters?” Peter asks, righting the car and continuing down the road. 

“Amateurs, as far as I can tell. She must be offering fucking dental or something because people are starting to show up.”

Peter glances at Stiles. For someone casually suggesting murder, Stiles seems completely at ease sitting in the passenger seat of Peter’s car, staring out the window as the sun sets behind the trees. 

This nudges at something that has been at the back of Peter’s mind since their first conversation: Emissaries are supposed to be neutral, and often act in a diplomatic capacity for their packs. Nothing about Stiles’ desire to hear about Peter’s murder spree, and the eagerness to which he’s approaching this potential encounter is even remotely neutral or diplomatic.
