Fanfiction/Writing Summary 2022

Because I am more of a writer than artist, I decided to do something that showcases my favourite pieces of writing from over the year. If you'd like to do it yourself basically you're going to go through your writing each month, choose a piece you really like and put a sentence or section from said fic.

January

Arthur was sure this had to be a dream now, that or he was seeing his lover’s angel. Basked in the golden light of the sun filtering in, Feliciano was practically glowing with an even brighter smile to match. It was as if the accident had never happened. 

“Amore Mio, why are you crying?” Feliciano asked, voice hoarse from not having used it for almost two months. 

“Wha…” Arthur lifted a hand to his cheek only to find it wet with tears. “Please tell me this isn’t a dream…”

February

Tossing his bow to the side, the teen picked up the toddler, wiping away the boy’s tears with his cloak. “Shhh,” Dylan hushed as he began rocking the child back and forth, “It’s okay little one.” Dylan turned back towards his siblings. “It’s alright you two, he’s one of us.”

“He?” Niamh asked, being the first to come to Dylan’s side. Dylan turned towards his sister, giving her a better view of the young boy in his arms. Niamh’s eyes lit up at the sight. “Awww look at him! He’s so little.” She placed a hand on top of the toddler’s shaggy blond hair, smoothing it down. The young boy leaned into the touch, releasing a pleased hum. It made Niamh giggle. 

“Indeed,” Dylan agreed. 

Alastair cautiously came over as well, stiff as a board. Luckily, as soon as his eyes landed on the child, all the tension was alleviated. The toddler gave Alastair a wide smile when he noticed him, reaching out with his free hand. Unable to say no, Alastair took the small hand in his own. 

“Looks like we have another brother,” Dylan beamed. But his words fell on deaf ears as his siblings stared in awe at the child in his arms. His smile widened at the endearing sight.

March

“Are you nervous?”

The young boy nodded. 

Arthur gave him a tired smile before putting the luggage down and crouching to be at Matthew’s level. “Don’t be. Uncle Allie will be there, and I’m sure you’ll get along swimmingly with your Uncle Dylan. You remind me a lot of him, you know?”

Matthew peeked up from behind his stuffed animal’s head. “Really?”

“Mhm,” Arthur hummed. When he noticed Matthew was still hesitant, he scooped the boy into his arms. “But, if you’re still nervous, you can stay right here with me.” 

“Okay,” Matthew whispered, a shy smile spreading across his face.

April

"The tea is–” But Francis was cut off by Arthur swinging around, pressing his arm against the Frenchman’s neck. Francis looked up at him with genuine fear as Arthur’s acidic green eyes burned into him. For a moment, it was as if they were back to their old ways. 

“Angl–gck–Angleterre it’s just me…mon lapin…”

Arthur’s gaze softened, and he lowered his arm as fear subsided. “Oh god…I-I…Francis I genuinely didn’t mean–” Francis silenced him with a kiss.

“It’s okay. I’m sorry to have startled you.” Francis let out a light laugh. “I probably would have done the same.”

“Francis…”

The Frenchman’s hand came to rest against Arthur’s face. “We’ll be okay mon amour. It’s all over now, and we can enjoy our time together.”

May

 Jan was tense as Matthew began to lead him in a slow waltz. Matthew himself was nervous, but either because of the alcohol or the quietness of the outdoors, he was much more at ease than Jan. “Relax,” he murmured, breath tickling Jan’s neck causing him to shiver. “No one’s watching.”

“And everyone says you’re the shy, awkward, little prince.”

“The alcohol probably has helped in this case,” Matthew laughed. 

Jan let out an amused huff, and it melted Matthew’s heart. Jan didn’t seem to be someone who laughed a lot, and there he was, amused by Matthew. He unconsciously began leaning in.

June

“Mhm.” Arthur turned his gaze wistfully at the sky. “It’s…It’s nice you know…Not to have to hide as much anymore. To have more public spaces to go to and be able to dance with the man you love. To kiss him and not have to be scared of getting arrested or…even worse…”

Ludwig wrapped a loving arm around his shoulder. “Hey…It’s okay now. Things are changing and I have a feeling it’s going to continue going uphill from here.”

Arthur gave him a sentimental smile. “I never coloured you to be such an optimist darling.”

July

“Ah…” the man sighed, “So good…So good for me…Ludwig, Ludwig, Ludwig.”

That wasn't right. His master never used his name. Then someone was shaking him, but it wasn’t the man in front of him. It felt…distance almost. “Ludwig…Ludwig come on…you got to get up,” the voice called, though it felt farther than before.

Ludwig opened his eyes slowly, meeting a familiar flash of green. The actor? No. “Arthur?” he rasped.

August

“Shhhh. You’re okay. You’re alright. Shhhhhhh.”

Ludwig let out a choked sob. Now he could add confusion to his list of things being wrong. How could something as small as a loving touch strip him bare and break him like this? It was embarrassing and made the situation even more overwhelming.

“Oh, darling. It’s going to be okay. Shhh.”

“I-I’m sorry,” Ludwig blubbered, “I-I don’t know what’s came over me.”

“Never apologize for this kind of thing,” Arthur murmured against Ludwig’s forehead, “I’ve learned the hard way, it’s not good to push it all down.”

September

“That’s good.” Francis let his hand linger in Arthur’s hair, his fingers becoming tangled in the strands.

“Francis?” Arthur spoke softly.

Francis immediately pulled his hand back. “Ah…Desole.”

But the Brit pulled his hand back. “N-No…It’s alright. Just…um…Thank you. For everything. For giving us a place to stay, for watching the boys, watching over me…” Arthur coughed awkwardly. “You’re very good with them. The boys I mean…”

“Oh now I really think you hit your head,” Francis teased.

Arthur shoved him though only half-heartedly. “Shut up!”

-To be Cared for || AO3 || Tumblr

October

“Arthur…”

“If you asked me two decades ago, I would have had a very different answer for you. But I don’t have any comforting words, Ludwig.”

“I’m sorry…” Arthur shook his head, giving Ludwig a lopsided grin.

“Don’t be. You’ve got a far better head on your shoulders than I did at your age. I was always itching for a fight, and I didn���t care who I hurt, but you…You’re…You’re full of surprises. It’s a good sign. It gives me hope. As does this.” He gestured to the football game in front of him.

“Humans are something,” Ludwig hummed.

“That they are.” Arthur smiled genuinely. “It’s beautiful.”

-Christmas with the "Enemy" || AO3 || Tumblr

November

Arthur let out a long sigh. “Even if you were the Holy Roman Empire, you’re Germany now. That hasn’t changed. You’ll always be Germany. You’ll always be Ludwig. Stubborn, strong, hard-working Ludwig who overworks himself. Who loves dogs, baking, vinyl records, and morning jogs at sunrise. You’re still you with just a little extra tacked on.” He squeezed Ludwig’s hand, guiding him by the chin to look at him. “Your supposed past shouldn’t dictate your future, and don’t let anyone else make you think it should.”

Ludwig let out a shuttered breath, wiping at his eyes, trying to keep his tears at bay. He had felt so heavy, but at Arthur’s words, it was as if some of that weight had been taken from him, the Brit helping him shoulder it.

“Shhhh, it’s alright Lud. It’s going to be alright.”

OR

Feliciano looked up at him with glassy eyes. “I should have seen this coming,” Feliciano said with a wet laugh, “I…I-I should have never accepted your confession. I was…He was finally home and I just…I had been waiting for you–him–for so long that I jumped on the chance not thinking you were different now.” The tears were streaming now and they punched Ludwig in the stomach. “I wasn’t thinking that maybe all of this had put you in a confused, vulnerable state, twisting what you really wanted. It’s complicated…Gilbert tried to explain that to me. But whatever this means for you…It’s clear your heart doesn’t belong to me and I’m sorry for feeling entitled to it because of the past.”

December

“Thank you,” Matthew rasped, “It gets lonely in the winter.”

“What?”

“The cold…Scares everyone away…Those who stay shut themselves in and hope they’ll all make it to spring.”

“Mattie…”

“Papa didn’t know how to deal with it. He tried to take me to France, but that made it worse, he left me with doctors, but…” Matthew sniffled. “But…”

“Now, now Matthew,” Father said gravely, striding into the room, “We needn’t get wrapped up in the past. We must embrace the present. Speaking of present…” He presented two neatly wrapped heaps to the boys. “An early Christmas present to liven all of our spirits.”

This was a lot harder than I thought. Anyway, I wrote 137 fics this year woooo!

Day 1: “Oh no, they were roommates”

@engportevents / Engport Week 2024

You should tell him, Francis had said to him over the phone one day, you should tell him how you feel, but Arthur shook his head. There’s was nothing to tell. Nothing he wished to tell Gabriel especially. They had been living together in England for almost two years now, splitting rent and groceries and sometimes funny anecdotes about their day over breakfast. It was Arthur’s own fault that he had become infatuated with his roommate. He was just so lonely and Gabriel was kind. Gabriel probably didn’t even feel the same way anyway. Then why did it hurt so much when one morning Gabriel called him into their tiny cramped kitchen and announced, his voice shaking like he was about to cry: “They offered me a job in Lisbon.”

LOVER BOY - WIP INTRO

[ lover boy by @dallonwrites / sfgate / tumblr user catilinas / lover boy | little weirds by jenny slate / lover boy / hellraiser (1987) / manhunter (1986) / the lost boys (1987) / lover boy ] this post has alt text.

disclaimer: this is my own original work

Genre: Literary that wishes it were horror Setting: San Francisco, 1987/88 Aesthetics: fake blood, uncanny SFX in old horror movies, grainy home videos, a deeply orange sunset, retro arcade games, an empty mall, overripe fruit, anatomical heart models, heart shaped candles, leather jackets, rolling fog, the moon in the ocean, bowling alleys, red lights, trying to see a ghost in the hallway, real blood, mixtapes from former lovers, nightclub bathrooms, vampire fangs, neck kisses Summary: Sometimes, to cope with change and unpredictability, Beau likes to pretend he's the protagonist of a blood-soaked horror movie. And all he's ever wanted is a lover. But after the death of his childhood best friend he retreats into himself - frustrated at love and frustrated that Bobby hasn't haunted him the way he promised to - until he's jolted back by former friends needing his help with a movie project, an ex lover returning as new ones find new ways to hurt him, his friends and his community getting sicker, and a near death experience that comes with the urgency to record everything around him whilst he still can. The more that happens, the more he tries to find ghosts around him. The more times he sees blood on his hands, the more painful his old coping mechanism becomes, as his thoughts become less and less tasty.

what if you were autistic but you didn't know it because it's the 1980s and your special interest is horror movies and sometimes your brain feels a little bit blood-soaked but it's okay because it feels good! it makes you feel better, right? but then your best friend dies and also you lose the closest person you had to a lover and you wonder if you've wasted your time obsessing over romance but you don't have time to think about it because life keeps happening and nobody seems to care that your community is dying and no matter how hard you try you never see a ghost in the hallway or the bathroom mirror like you want to, and then your lover comes back but he's different, and so are you, and you really want to stop looking death in the eye, so you try to capture everything around you on your video camera to show that you were here, we were here and we're alive, and your queerness is your heartbeat and all you want to do in this life is love, so that's what you do, despite everything, whatever that love looks like, even when everything gets louder and brighter and too much to bare and you're starting to get scared by the blood in your thoughts

I call this "the culmination of my growing obsession with horror and the undergrad dissertation I wrote on how the AIDS crisis functions in queer narratives". I think it's my favourite thing I've started in a long time! There's so much flesh to this story that I haven't even dug my hand as deep into it as I could go. It's fun, it's silly, it's raw, it's sweet, it's emotional, it's complicated, it's a bit bloody, it's theatrical, it's trying it's best. It doesn't take itself too seriously but it's also crying in the bathtub you know

Characters (just a few otherwise this would get way too long)

Beau (he/him) the bestest boy in the whole world. Someone pleeeease take him to a farmers market on a chilled Sunday afternoon

Benji (he/him) Beau's little brother who Beau thinks is the bestest boy in the whole world. Even though he loves bugs and dirt and wants to be a shark when he grows up

Bobby (he/him) dead but before he died he thought being a ghost would be so fun. It'd be so much easier to sneak up on Beau! He could finally go to Fire Island! He loved handmaking jewellery and wanted to be a volcanologist.

Felix (he/him) the ex lover! He's doing sooo much better since the last time you saw him! Hey why is he crying in that movie theatre bathroom

Tiff (she/they) Beau's old friend and roommate. Tattoo artist who collects eye shaped decor and broken rotary phones. Lesbian/gay solidarity is the backbone of this novel.

Dorothy (she/her) In love with the moon and acrylic paints. What if you bumped into your ex boyfriends twin sister and feel like you shouldn't get involved but then you remember she's realllyyy fun to talk shit about people with?

[svtskneecaps]

friends and fiends if this truly spells the Over for the qsmp i may let the brainworms that have been festering in me for MONTHS--A YEAR, EVEN--win.

i may summarize the goddamn fucking lore.

A Rose's Thorns - Girly411 - 美男高校地球防衛部LOVE! | Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE! [Archive of Our Own]

Pairing: Miss Bara Beach/Hakone Goura

Rating: T (for some suggestive language and innuendo)

Summary: Years had passed since the fallout from the first alien invasion, but their battle wounds had barely begun to heal before news of the second generation had reached them… and that meant it was time for a reunion. Fortunately, that was nothing she couldn’t handle. After all, she was a rose and her thorns were sharp, but perhaps that was what he’d been afraid of.

I must say, it's really damn impressive that my favourite Ingrid ship is f/m when one of my first clear cut conclusions about this fictional woman is that she's comphet as Fuck

[bonyfish]

oh cheese and crackers, it's almost next year and i only just remembered to finish putting this together. a pretty eclectic mix this year, and i was so busy in october that i apparently didn't draw anything at all. there's some pieces in here i'm quite proud of though! here's to more self-indulgent fanart in the new year.

[torrtimandi]

Writing summary of the 2023.

The 2023 was a year filled with a lot of anticipation for Justice's new album and with a lot of digging for every little bit of news. It was also a year full of writing for me, completely dedicated to the Gas/Xav tag, as I didn't write for any other fandom this year.

Posted works to ao3: 5

-La Balestra (7668 words) Started this year by posting this particular one shot, although I'd written most of it back in 2022. Still, it's worth mentioning, as I'm quite proud of it. It was very fun to write. Lots of fluff, sweet moments, intimacy and some tender smut, but also fencing! Some of you may not know this, but Gaspard actually used to practice fencing and that was one of the inspirations for this story.

-Strangelove (8668 words) Even though half of these words weren't written by me, I'm going to let myself talk a bit about it, because it's another story I had a lot of fun writing, my parts at least. Written in collaboration with dear lesreptiles, born out of a silly joke. But well, being the very serious writers that we both are, once we started writing it, it wasn't a joke anymore. Yes, the plot is kinda funny, with Xavier being a Jehovah's Witness and visiting Gaspard's house, the hot af bi metalhead, to spread some Jesus' words, only to enter the gay panic mode very short after. And sure, it was mostly just an excuse to write some smut, but I promise! It was a very seriously written piece with still quite lots of interesting points and some actually quite tender moments. Very enjoyable, this one.

-Goodnight Lovers (789 words) Something actually very short and not containing any smut. Just a quick and fluffly drabble written in like an hour. It's set in a cabin in the middle of nowhere and it's a part of my unreleased Cabin Tales series. There's not much plot going on in any of the stories and honestly it was just an excuse to write lots of fluff and tender, yet domestic romances in a peaceful, carefree setting. But I like it. Sure, it's not a thought-provoking kind of a read, but still very comfort one and God knows those are very needed sometimes too.

-Love Emergency (146 844 words but only 43 519 written this year) Oh, I could talk about this one for long hours. My sweet, giant child that I spent almost two years on... Finishing LE is definitely one of my accomplishments, personal victories of this year. Not only because it's such a long story, but also because it's a display and proof of my determination, passion and affection for Justice, and not only. This is the story that allowed me to be a little honest, and the story that allowed me to spread my wings as a writer, improving my style and flow as the chapters rolled in. Though maybe it was also a bit selfish of me at times, as I allowed myself to mix my two loves there; medicine and Justice, which is quite a niche combination I bet. But I still love it the way it is, and I'm definitely proud of it.

-Beside You In Time (12130 words) And finally, the last one! I had very little of rest between finishing LE and starting this one but I don't mind. I really enjoyed writing about Gaspard the Knight and dwelling some more into this medieval world full of majestic castles, shiny armors and pretty nobles. I hope it makes a good homage to one of Gaspard's many fascinations, that this knightly aesthetic is.

To sum up, the total word count of 2023: 72 774

Very, very nice and quite a lot, though a bit less than previous year, if I remember correctly. But still very good as this year was much busier for me, overall. I think I can easily say that this year was actually quite successful for me as a writer.

I don't promise to repeat this result next year though, because I'm trying to rest a little now too. But I'm still sure that 2024 will be a great year for all of us as fans. The new single is almost out, soon pre-orders, more pictures, more interviews (and the gay food I bet), then finally the album and the tour. I plan to see Justice live quite a few times and can only wish you the same.

Happy new year! Cheers!

[kleiner-detektiv]

I just love™ doing a collab event where I'm supposed to draw something for a fanfiction, but the writer won't share or write anything until the 3rd or 4th check-in at all.

If one doesn't have the time for it, they shouldn't participate.

Or at least they should communicate!

Artists have a schedule, too!

No writing, no art! We artists, too, need some time for a decent artwork and this is not my only project! Dx

[nvzwho]

One person's 'Iconic Ships' will be someone else's eternally blocked tag. I am cursed with doing this in multiple fandoms to have me beloathed ship be the biggest ship in the damn thing. It's not just a Doctor Who thing but they are generally the worst at tagging stuff, so the Curse is Worse there in a way.

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

holy sh¡t a Deception fan in the year of our lord 2023?? how does it feel being in a fandom with 4 people in it bestie

Do not cite the deep magic to me, child... I was there when it was written!

2022 End of the Year Round Up!

Thank you for the tag, @barbex @pikapeppa @cleverblackcat ! <3

Tagging: @inquisitoracorn @oxygenforthewicked @noetikat  @midnightprelude @moonlightheretic @dreadfutures @darethshirl  @fiadhaisteach @bogunicorn @rosella-writes @noire-pandora @tkwritesdumbassassins @thevikingwoman  @in-arlathan  @melisusthewee  @effelants @potatowitch @imperatrixvini @bluephoenix1347 @bluewren @cleverblackcat @johaeryslavellan @ocean-in-my-rebel-soul @rakshadow @morganlefaye79 @serial-chillr @luzial and any who would like to do this!

Words written (published or not, WIPs included!): 140,257 words, spread across my fanfics on AO3, writing prompts, WIPS, and the essays in Manga and Mozart, my coloring book. 

Smut scenes: nothing explicit...yet. <3

New things I tried: I’ve tried a few new things with writing prompts for DADWC, like modern AUs, new POVs, and my first foray into writing Aeducans, for an exchange. Writing about Orzammar and dwarven customs has been very interesting! 

Fic I spent the most time on: Oh my... I would say a tie between Songstress and my novel, Passaggio. The sheer amount of research that goes into both of those projects is pretty substantial and varied. Technically, both are set during the Renaissance (I use 16th century as my research timeframe for Songstress), but Passaggio is set specifically in 1590s Venice, so learning about the intricacies of the time, setting, politics, etc. has been very interesting...albeit time-consuming! There’s so many rabbit holes one can fall down <3 

Fic I spent the least time on: mmm.... Probably Of Cocoa and Cooking Lessons and Gray Magic; I wrote both of them over the span of one evening, when the Muses were cooperating 

Favorite thing I wrote: I think it's still Songstress; I enjoy the journey of self-discovery and growth Fenris undertakes as he helps Sebastian retake Starkhaven. 

Favorite thing I read: AH! I can’t choose, it’s too hard! Most recently, I’ve read/reread these:  Anything for You by JenniferHawke, Two Songs and Three Serpents by @inquisitoracorn , From Ashes by @rakshadow, and Justitia by @tkwritesdumbassassins (TK’s Federico is my favorite Federico Auditore, hands down).    

Writing goals for next year: Finish Songstress! I also have writing prompts I’d like to finish and post, so I can focus more on Passaggio and my other projects. 

[lingeringscars]

Submitted my final final paper of the semester
