Welcome Home! Week 3, coming right up!

Tomorrow at midnight, we start Week 3!

WEEK 3: Feb. 10-16, Seasonal/holiday—Whether or not it’s the current season/holiday right now (any are welcome). This could include “vibes” or “ambience” for the readers to enjoy in connection with a particular holiday (haunted house for Halloween; romance for Valentine’s Day—which falls this week). If the season or holiday is not specifically referenced in the content, please let us know which one it is.

The Magicians fanworks event Welcome Home! is hosted by @magiciansfanworksextravaganza. Today is the last day for Week 2 entries (through 11:59 PM Eastern)—until Week 6 (catchup), when you can send more! Meanwhile entries for the overall event theme, Welcome Home, are open through Mar. 9.

Welcome Home! Week 2, coming right up!

(and the 7th anniversary of the Mosaic!)

The Magicians fanworks event Welcome Home! is in full swing over at @magiciansfanworksextravaganza. Today is the last day for Week 1 entries (through 11:59 PM Eastern)--until Week 6 (catchup), when you can send more! Meanwhile entries for the overall event theme, Welcome Home, are open through Mar. 9.

Tomorrow at midnight, we start Week 2--I'm extra excited for this week, because it includes the 7th anniversary of the Mosaic!

WEEK 2: Feb. 3-9, "It's been a long time"—It could be a long time since characters saw each other, or a long time engaged on a task like the mosaic. Special note: The 7th anniversary of The Magicians 3x05, “A Life in the Day,” is Feb. 7. We’d love to see Mosaic Fic.

Surprise! Tumblr just got turned into an epic fantasy RPG, just like [your favorite appropriate media franchise]. And the Tumblr RPG's plot needs to have all of its characters covered, in roles both large and small.

That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.

WELCOME HOME!

Magicians Fanworks Event, Jan. 27-Mar. 9, 2025

Welcome Home! We’re so glad you’re here! Please come right in! The doors to our Welcome Home! challenge are open throughout Jan. 27-Mar. 9, 2025 (Eastern time zone). The AO3 collection is live, and we’ll be reblogging your posts several times each day. Please share your work following the instructions below.

From Jan. 27-Mar. 9, 2025, Eastern time, we’re welcoming fanworks of all types celebrating The Magicians (Lev Grossman/SyFy). This low-key challenge focuses on a series of weekly themes, along with an overall event theme. Throughout, both new works and additions to WIPs are welcome. Plus, existing WIPs that don’t match any of our themes are welcomed with open arms in Week 6!

This challenge takes place on AO3 and Tumblr. To participate, you don’t need to sign up (though we do have instructions for posting so that we can share your work). All types of fanworks are welcome! Yes, yes, yes to fic, art, edits, vids, cosplay, crafting, podfic, fanmixes, pinboards, moodboards, and more! You may create as many or as few things as you want. You can even send us multiple chapters of the same work as separate entries—either for different themes, or the same theme!

The overall theme for the entire event is Welcome Home! If you would like to create something for the overall theme, these are welcome anytime while the event is open.

In addition, here are the weekly themes. If you miss your week, you’ve got a second chance during Week 6, our Free Space/Catch-Up week! Want to continue an existing WIP but it doesn’t match any of our themes? Send it during Week 6!

Please let us know which theme you chose, and make sure your work either:

1. Fits the overall event theme (send anytime Jan. 27-Mar. 9), or:

2. Fits a specific week’s theme (send during that week, or in Week 6)

Exception: New additions to existing WIPs that don’t match a theme are welcome in Week 6.

Special note: As long as one of the themes makes at least a cameo appearance in your piece, it doesn't need to be the main thrust. Further, what qualifies for the theme is defined by you. (If you're not sure we'll get it, we love hints!)

WEEK 1: Jan. 27-Feb. 2, Home—What constitutes “home” to the characters? What do they think of “home,” good or bad?

WEEK 2: Feb. 3-9, "It's been a long time"—It could be a long time since characters saw each other, or a long time engaged on a task like the mosaic. Special note: The 7th anniversary of The Magicians 3x05, “A Life in the Day,” is Feb. 7. We’d love to see Mosaic Fic.

WEEK 3: Feb. 10-16, Seasonal/holiday—Whether or not it’s the current season/holiday right now (any are welcome). This could include “vibes” or “ambience” for the readers to enjoy in connection with a particular holiday (haunted house for Halloween; romance for Valentine’s Day—which falls this week). If the season or holiday is not specifically referenced in the content, please let us know which one it is.

WEEK 4: Feb. 17-23, Magical creature—A being from the show or books, or from mythology/folklore, or one you make up.

WEEK 5: Feb. 24-Mar. 2, Returning after absence (or returning to being themselves).

WEEK 6: Mar. 3-9, Free space/catch-up week! If you are writing for the theme of a prior week, please let us know which one. If you’re adding to an existing WIP that doesn’t match any theme, it belongs here—let us know you’re taking part in Welcome back to WIPs!

Remember—any works for the general “Welcome Home” theme may be sent any time the event is open, from Jan. 27-Mar. 9. However, please let us know if you are following the overall event theme rather than that week’s theme.

The last day for challenge entries on Tumblr and/or AO3 will be March 9 at 11:59 PM Eastern. Because we’ve got a catchup week, there won’t be an extension for this challenge. The collection will be closed the moment the calendar switches to March 10.

We'll post a recap at the end of each week. Following the event, we'll also post a list grouped by theme, uniting any Week 6 catchup posts with their group.

To participate, post to AO3 and/or Tumblr during Jan. 27-Mar. 9 (Eastern time), following the instructions below so that we can find your work, reblog it, and add it to the masterlist.

Strongly suggested—for your sake and ours! (for both AO3 and Tumblr)

To make sure we have the best chance of seeing and reblogging your work, and to help out your hardworking mods, please do submit this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-mG_6FlK4Kx4ZTVhp960mo4NJyCtXEXGtH7Lds-QTDP0mJA/viewform

It will also be very helpful to us in getting your entries included properly on our masterlist!

Our team of mods are on the lookout for your entries. We do sleep occasionally. But if a day goes by and your post hasn't been reblogged, we may not have seen it. Make sure you fill out this form before getting in touch.

When posting on Tumblr

Please both tag us: @magiciansfanworksextravaganza And also please put the following two # tags among your first five tags: #MFEWelcomeHome #magiciansfanworksextravaganza

If you are sending separate entries from the same work (additional chapters, art, etc.) please make a separate Tumblr post for each individual entry, with a link to the specific chapter if you published on AO3. (More AO3 guidelines below.)

Please tell us which Week and Theme this is for (either the overall event theme, or one of the weekly themes). If you’re posting in Week 6, let us know if this is for a previous week’s theme, the overall theme, or is part of Welcome back to WIPs! (for continuations to existing WIPs that don’t match any theme—Week 6 only).

Before you post: Take a look at your mention for us. Is it a live link? Can you click @magiciansfanworksextravaganza and get to our page? If not, try editing your post. If it's an AO3 share, position your cursor at the very end of the post, hit enter to start a new line, and start typing @magiciansfanworksextravaganza. While you are typing, a box with our icon should pop up. Click on that suggestion to link to our page. If you don't see the box, it won't link. Make sure you're typing in Rich Text rather than HTML unless you know the code to mention someone.

When posting on AO3

Please add your work to our Welcome Home! AO3 Subcollection:

If this is a multi-chaptered work (either an existing WIP or a new work that will continue in further chapters), please include information in the Notes both at the start of the work and at the head of the relevant chapter about which chapter is part of this challenge.

Please also tell us which Week and Theme this is for (either the overall event theme, or one of the weekly themes). If you’re posting in Week 6, let us know if this is for a previous week’s theme, the overall theme, or is part of Welcome back to WIPs! (for continuations to existing WIPs that don’t match any theme—Week 6 only).

To post a new work, you can visit our AO3 collection and click "Post to Collection." To add your existing WIP, click "Edit," then under "Associations," "Post to Collections/Challenges," type "MFEWelcomeHome" and hit enter, then click "Post."

Please note: If you are adding your work via the Edit panel rather than posting to the collection from the actual collection page, when you type in the challenge name, AO3 is not going to offer it as an automatic selection. Nevertheless, as long as you type in MFEWelcomeHome and hit enter, AO3 will add your work to our collection.

Magicians Fanworks Event, Jan. 27-Mar. 9, 2025

Welcome Home!

We wanted to make sure everyone has plenty of time to create, as we gear up for six weeks of Magicians goodness! So this is your three-week reminder.

From Jan. 27-Mar. 9, 2025, Eastern time, we’re welcoming fanworks of all types celebrating The Magicians (Lev Grossman/SyFy). This low-key challenge focuses on a series of weekly themes, along with an overall event theme. Throughout, both new works and additions to WIPs are welcome. Plus, existing WIPs that don’t match any of our themes are welcomed with open arms in Week 6!

This challenge takes place on AO3 and Tumblr. To participate, you don’t need to sign up (though we do have instructions for posting so that we can share your work). You may create as many or as few things as you want. We have a Welcome Home AO3 Subcollection, and we'll reblog your work here and gather it in our masterlist.

The overall theme for the entire event is Welcome Home! If you would like to create something for the overall theme, these are welcome anytime while the event is open.

In addition, here are the weekly themes. If you miss your week, you’ve got a second chance during Week 6, our Free Space/Catch-Up week! Want to continue an existing WIP but it doesn’t match any of our themes? Send it during Week 6!

All types of fanworks are welcome! Yes, yes, yes to fic, art, edits, vids, cosplay, crafting, podfic, fanmixes, pinboards, moodboards, and more! Any number of submissions you like. You can even send us multiple chapters of the same work as separate entries—either for different themes, or the same theme! (If sharing on Tumblr, please make separate posts for separate entries.)

Please let us know which theme you chose, and make sure your work either:

1. Fits the overall event theme (send anytime Jan. 27-Mar. 9), or:

2. Fits a specific week’s theme (send during that week, or in Week 6)

Remember: New additions to existing WIPs that don’t match a theme are welcome in Week 6.

WEEK 1: Jan. 27-Feb. 2, Home—What constitutes “home” to the characters? What do they think of “home,” good or bad?

WEEK 2: Feb. 3-9, "It's been a long time"—It could be a long time since characters saw each other, or a long time engaged on a task like the mosaic. Special note: The 7th anniversary of The Magicians 3x05, “A Life in the Day,” is Feb. 7. We’d love to see Mosaic Fic.

WEEK 3: Feb. 10-16, Seasonal/holiday—Whether or not it’s the current season/holiday right now (any are welcome). This could include “vibes” or “ambience” for the readers to enjoy in connection with a particular holiday (haunted house for Halloween; romance for Valentine’s Day—which falls this week). If the season or holiday is not specifically referenced in the content, please let us know which one it is.

WEEK 4: Feb. 17-23, Magical creature—A being from the show or books, or from mythology/folklore, or one you make up.

WEEK 5: Feb. 24-Mar. 2, Returning after absence (or returning to being themselves).

WEEK 6: Mar. 3-9, Free space/catch-up week! If you are writing for the theme of a prior week, please let us know which one. If you’re adding to an existing WIP that doesn’t match any theme, it belongs here.

Remember—any works for the general “Welcome Home” theme may be sent any time the event is open, from Jan. 27-Mar. 9. However, please let us know if you are following the overall event theme rather than that week’s theme.

The last day for challenge entries on Tumblr and/or AO3 will be March 9 at 11:59 PM Eastern.

You absolutely do NOT need to join our Discord server to participate, but here's the invite if you'd like to brainstorm with others, if you’re feeling stuck, etc.: https://discord.gg/NcBDD63uFg

Please stay tuned for more details! And happy creating!

Need a break to refresh your creative spirit? Want to revel in that challenge vibe? Check out the wonderful works created during Warm Up, our micro Magicians challenge!

The themed blog side of our home page, Magicians Fanworks Extravaganza, has some cool ways for you to enjoy all the works in our Warm Up collection, anytime! On the right side of our home page, under Navigation, there's a direct link to the Warm Up Masterlist. Further down on the right side of the page, you'll see Projects. Each challenge has its own box, with the icon for each challenge and a "Project Link." The Warm Up link will serve up everything we posted with the #mfewarmup tag. That includes the masterlist and everything we reblogged, as well as the original challenge guidelines.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Magicians (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Benedict (The Magicians), Mentioned Quentin Coldwater Additional Tags: Benedict POV, Implied/Referenced Suicide, Canonical Character Death, Post-3x06 Summary:

Shortly after arriving in the Underworld, Benedict reflects on his and Quentin's experiences with the Abyss Key.

Happy one year post-iversary to my Benedict fic! I wrote this because Benedict is THE most relatable character in the entire show for me, and I love him so much, and he never gets the appreciation he deserves. So this is my tribute to him, and I hope it does him a little more justice than the show (or the books!) ever gave him.

These accidentally lined up on my Pinterest board. I can’t do this. This parallel framing is going to kill me.

I like to think that Eliot’s still carrying Quentin’s name card in his breast pocket (like he’s carrying Quentin’s heart in his own)
