HELLO would you like to read some FIC?

Do you crave some fresh new Kurofai stories to get you through the season? 

Did you watch the recent Olympics and think to yourself, “Well that was fine but it could use a lot more fictional gay characters falling in love with each other in it?”

Well you’re in luck! The Kurofai Olympics is happening right now. 

Best of all, if you ever find yourself writing a comment on AO3 and going, “Gee, I sure wish I could also submit my thoughts via voting on various categories on a Google Docs,” well, they have that too! You can vote on each fic you read and help them choose the overall winning team of the year.

Ahh This turned out pretty decently. 

I made this in about 5 to 7 hours?

I loved your short fanfic for the TRC December prompt list~! While reading it, I imagined the magical scary dream world as a deep purple like place that sometimes has house like items that showed up etc. I’m sorry that its so rushed and that I didn’t use pose references. ;w;

I hope that you still love it~!

The Faery Courts and the trolls are all that is left and they continue to make war in a hopeless race to the bottom. Each Court made a Sigil as a receptacle of all their remaining magic in a last-ditch effort to save the world, but Fai, the Sigil of the Winter Court, has no magic at all and no answer for why.

Who thought it was a good idea to give teenagers swords?! (He was going to staunchly ignore that the missing prince they were supposed to rescue had been visiting his dreams beforehand.
