My past few days got entirely eaten by this treat for

the_wavesinger in

300bpm. Somehow for all my Dottie/Peggy thoughts and previous fanmixing I had never associated The Decemberists' The Bagman's Gambit with them (because I am terrible at remembering the Decemberists exist, possibly) and OH SHIT it's not only perfectly them but very plotty, which is why this is. Almost 2300 words. And why there is no talking meme today.

Title: as your whisper stilled my heart
Fandom: Agent Carter
Characters/Ships: Dottie/Peggy
Rating/Warnings: M, murder, sexual content
Prompt: The Decemberists' The Bagman's Gambit, from

the_wavesinger
Summary:

( Dottie's actually being on her very best behaviour, the day in the summer of 1953 when Peggy pulls her gun in the streets of Sacramento. )

Tags:

(Trying to keep up the post-every-day-in-December thing! And meant to do this days ago anyway!)

Title: like to make it bleed but you never cut through
Fandom: Critical Role
Characters/Ships: Delilah/Ripley
Rating/Warnings: T, light somnophilia, light knifeplay
Prompt: We breathe in a loose kind of unison. Our breathing / ripples the way oblivion does—routinely, across history’s face. from

sapphicsunshower during a prompt meme in, uh, September
Summary: Delilah and Anna, before the dungeon

( Perhaps there should be more between them than the work. Perhaps there is, and the work is simply the only one that matters. )

elasticella keeps making these excellent ficathons and I keep not having as much time to write things for them as I want to! But, here: I thought I had a fannish to-do list and then this prompt grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let me go until I'd written it all. If you're interested in faerie stories, check out the November Nymphs and Nixies ficathon (November still has some time left in it, I insist, desperately trying to ignore that Time Passes).

Title: je suis là où tu m'as laissé (i am where you left me)
Fandom: Harry Potter (books)
Characters/Ships: Ginny/Luna
Rating/Warnings: T, body horror
Summary: Luna doesn't come back from her expedition. Something else does.

( Not that she's not thrilled at the prospect of seeing her wife again sooner than she'd thought, and not that Luna or Rolf were ever brilliant at thinking about time, but ... it's Luna. It's probably Luna. There's still no such thing as being too careful, even now. )

femslashex is one of those exchanges I love so much I always end up signing up twice, and it did not disappoint this year! Things what I wrote and things what I got are:

god feared in whose arms i'm sleeping. gentleman jack, anne/mariana. 1.3k words, rated t. for

DCBrierton

It is summer in Paris, and the bright fall of the morning sun across Mariana's face is not so much what wakes her as is the slowly growing awareness that Anne is no longer in their bed.

Anne, Mariana, a morning in Paris. I loved the chance to go pre-canon for them, poking at the possessiveness and the what-makes-a-life-ness and the cracks that neither of them quite recognise yet.

beneath the waves. stargate atlantis, elizabeth/teyla. 1k words, rated t. for

havocthecat /

havocthecat

Atlantis sinks when the Asurans come. Life reconfigures itself.

Probably deeply un-anonymous Wraith!Teyla and Asuran!Elizabeth take a moment to themselves in a sunken city. I had the benefit here of knowing Exactly what havoc likes in Stargate fic, so :P

And I got PRESENTS \o/ A Scott & Bailey fic, come back breathing, messy Rachel/Gill in the aftermath of Janet's stabbing, and a Doctor Who fic, dressed, undressed, where a newly-embodied Missy goes in search of a gown and finds one of Clara's echoes in Revolutionary France

Current Music: ego - indila

Evernote informs me I started this fic in August of 2017, the probably inevitable consequence of my 'the twins are identical and Keyleth loves them both' insistence meeting my 'there really needs to be more somnophilia fics for my ships' belief. So: hopefully-light fun fic where Vex and Vax have an ongoing competition to see who can make a sleeping Keyleth come first (or most), but whoever wakes her up forfeits their right to style Trinket's fur for a week. There's no good reason why I've not finished it yet, there's just always been Other Stuff when I'm in one of my smut-writing moods, but maybe posting it here will convince me to finish it [shrug emoji].

Keyleth's still sleeping when Vex pads her way over to her brother's room and cracks the door open just a bit. For a moment she thinks Vax is asleep as well, until a hand emerges from the pile of red hair and green sheets to wave her inside.

"Started without me?" Vex whispers with a grin as she crosses the room and climbs up onto the bed on Keyleth's other side.

Vax flips her off without any real malice, and pulls down the bedclothes for Vex to kick into an untidy pile at the foot of the bed. "Never." She doesn't need to be told, not when he's smiling at her like that, but it's still nice, and the warmth of it settles over her better than any blanket.

Have yet to see the Undeadwood finale but have been thoroughly spoiled and am super pleased! I feel like m/m fix-it is gonna be the next and possibly forever big thing in this fandom, which means I am once again wildly missing the fannish zeitgeist by showing up with praise kink-y werewolf femslash, but consider: praise kink-y werewolf femslash is Best. Also for my

ladiesbingo square 'werewolves', which I had not expected to have filled so soon!

Title: the moon that breaks the night
Fandom: UnDeadwood
Characters: Miriam/Arabella
Rating/Warnings: M, sex, werewolf Arabella (not particularly relevant to the sex), praise kink (very relevant to the sex)
Summary: Miriam helps Arabella take her mind off things.

( Maybe they were safer now. Maybe they'd never be safe again. )

Current Music: savior solitude - iapetus

...is the correct past tense of 'pinch hit' don't @ me unless it's to agree with me that I'm correct. Anyway, I picked up two pinch hits in exchanges I didn't do,

fandomgrowthexchange and

unconventionalfanworkex

you can't take the fallout. jiàn yǔ | reign of assassins, ye zhanqing/xi yu. 2.5k words, rated teen. for

echoslam /

echoslam

And outside, there is Xi Yu, who is still too comfortable in her life as Zeng Jing, who has forgotten how to want to be Xi Yu. Outside is a woman abandoned, a woman you have grown, over the time of your confinement underground, to pity.

A woman you must save.

Ye Zhanqing learns the way of the Dark Stone, crawls out from the rubble, and finds that there is yet more in front of her, because in no universe am I not all over lady assassins a little too invested in other lady assassins that they are meant to kill. And it was a super fun challenge re: my ability to write action scenes!

chased by the sun. the southern reach trilogy, original female characters. 1.7k, for

acequeenking /

AceQueenKing

We crossed the border at the sixth stroke of the midnight leading into the linguist's birthday.

Even when I'm not thinking about the Southern Reach books I'm thinking about the Southern Reach books, yknow? This almost felt like cheating bc it was so easy to write. Nature horror is just v soothing, I think, especially when most of the horrific stuff is on the outside of a very tight pov. Let the trees chomp.

Tags:

Gods the trick to getting me to write lately really has just been giving myself the freedom to write whatever self-indulgent darkfic I want, huh? Keyleth and Vex are my faves always but Exceptionally So when they're playing with fucked-up nature/death magic. This particular iteration of Fenthras-induced angst brought 2 u by

spook_me's plant creature prompt and my

ladiesbingo 'confessions' square.

Title: a heart-shaped knot of roots
Fandom: Critical Role (Tal'Dorei Campaign)
Characters: Vex/Keyleth
Rating/Warnings: M, character death, body horror
Summary: Vex keeps a vigil.

( Keyleth died at midnight. )

Tags:

I'm going to start posting fics directly to dreamwidth, I think. I am not going to abandon AO3, because I do like what they stand for, I just hate everything about how they implement it, yknow? So. I'm writing for myself. Trying to remember why I like fannish things, because honestly, it's usually not the fandom.

Title: the lullaby will become a lull
Fandom: Under the Pendulum Sun - Jeanette Ng
Characters: Catherine Helstone, Cathy/Mab, Cathy/Ariel
Rating/Warnings: M
Summary: Sleepless in Pivot, Cathy wishes for Mab, or Ariel, or anything to save her from the endless brass city.

( I tried to sleep. I mixed all the teas I could think of, and no small amounts of Laon's communion wine, salvaged from the chapel at Gethsemane. I knelt on polished metal sheets of gold and prayed until my knees were numb and my eyelids were sandpaper pieces whenever I blinked. )

Surprising absolutely no one

darkestnightex is full of my favourite things, and I ~~maybe signed up twice~~ definitely wrote two things!

this is the sound of joy. midsommar, dani/pelle. 1.5k words, rated mature. for

psychomachia

The Hårga community is built on blood and dreams.
And joy.

I had sort of a weird fannish time with Midsommar, where I saw the movie and loved it with all my heart and then was ... deeply alienated by basically everything everyone was saying about it. And then! I saw these prompts! Wanting spooky things and folk horror and the liminal spaces that dreams and reality create! And I'm so pleased I was able to write for them :3

heart-strings undone. star wars sequel trilogy, f!kylo/rey. 1.6k words, rated mature. for

tristesses

A stem gets caught on Kylo's tongue before she can answer and she chokes, tries to swallow it down. The roots are around her lungs, somewhere so deep she can't even use the Force to dislodge them. It isn't worth trying, anyway: it hasn't worked in years.

So ... for a very long time I thought I wasn't super into hanahaki disease as a trope. And then I saw this request, with all of the possibilities for leaning into the body horror and the 'what if the love is unrequited because one person is an eldritch manifestation of the Force literally unable to love' and. Guys. I really like this particular version of the hanahaki trope, help.

And! I got two excellent gifts!

LadyBrooke wrote me Queens of the East and West, a Dark Queen Galadriel AU with some excellent necromancy, and

tristesses wrote me desiderate, a perfect Rey/Kylo fic with horror-of-the-Light and implied cannibalism.

Tags:

Video game fics! I only managed one fic, but it was a very nice change from last year when I had to drop because I couldn't write for anyone. AND I got to write some forever favourites, so what's not to love?

one more wrong (come back). overwatch, ana/widowmaker. 1.6k words, rated teen. for

abyssopelagick.

Everything the Widowmaker had become was built upon the foundations laid by Ana's early love, Ana's first lessons. They had had the words for loneliness then, but never used them right. Perhaps things would have been different if they had.

The Widowmaker thinking about her relationship with Ana throughout the years, and waiting for a reunion.

And in return

wednesday wrote me Fluid, a lovely look at Geralt and Iorveth at the beginning of their time in Vergen. There is GRUMPILY SWEET HAIR-BRUSHING, pls go give it love.

Tags:

everywoman revealed last night, which means I can say my first exchange went off very well! I wrote four fics amongst the modly adventures.

on the merits of muggle libraries. harry potter - j.k. rowling, hermion & luna. 600ish words, rated gen. for

fleurlb

Hermione and Luna meet up in Dundee before heading back to Hogwarts.

Pre-year 8 academic nerdery. I am notoriously bad at turning my Harry Potter worldbuilding thoughts into fic, so this was great fun

in the valley, in a dying flame. the haunting of hill house - shirley jackson, eleanor/theodora. 2k words, rated teen. for

slashmarks.

Where was dear sweet Theo? Rare were the days she couldn't be lured even from slumber with the smell of coffee, and Nell has lost track of the number of cups she has made by now. She has asked Hill House about the queer absence of her friends, of course, but it hasn't responded.

[ Nell stays, Theo returns. ]

Ghosts, love, time that doesn't quite move how you would like it to.

your killer and your lifeline too. the silmarillion & other histories of middle earth - j.r.r. tolkien. 2.4k words, rated teen. for

Solanaceae.

She worried over such futures in the furrows of the world, the spaces of the in-between that she was sure held answers she had yet to grasp. Thuringwethil's skin did not come with her memories, but Lúthien knew what it meant when the world she saw no longer responded to her song. No more could she draw flowers from the earth, or ask the waters of Sirion to dance beneath her outstretched hand.

[ Lúthien, and the price she paid for skin. ]

Tolkien never said how vampires were created and thievery has consequences: the fic.

fascination is her name. star wars (sequel trilogy/solo), amilyn~qi'ra. 800ish words, rated gen. for

spookykingdomstarlight.

Qi'ra meets a contact and makes a deal.

What's the point of a bit of espionage if you don't get to kiss or be kissed by pretty girls, yknow?

ALSO I got an absolutely INCREDIBLE Southern Reach fic from

tristesses, Abnormality, which explores what might have happened to the Surveyor when she was left alone during Annihilation and it is SO GOOD and the BEST sort of horror and I love it so muchhhhhhhhhh.

Tags:

fic,
fic recs

I actually have mixed feelings about flash exchanges becoming A Thing (loooooong story), but I wrote a pinch-hit for

300bpm anyway, because - well, song-as-prompt, I am weak.

Title: keep my hands
Fandom: Pretty Little Liars
Characters/Pairing: Emily/Hanna
Wordcount: ~520
Prompt: Mitski's Come into the Water
For:

firstlovelatespring

( you look so good, but i keep my hands til you come into the water )

Current Music: moonbeam - ora cogan

Tags:

Do people still post full fics here? Ah well, it's 2012 in my head literally always these days, have the completed Caduceus-and-ghosts fic I posted a bit of in the Sunday Six. Five ghosts that possessed Caduceus and left + one who did not leave at all.

Title: old woods, they misled me
Fandom: Critical Role (Wildemount Campaign)
Characters: Caduceus, Clarabelle, Molly, Lorenzo, assorted others
Rating/Warnings: T, ghosts, possession, past character death, bad end

( serpents betrayed me, they crawled in my head and betrayed me; old woods, they misled me, cut my face and misled me )

Current Music: shadows of our yesterdays - snow white blood

Both

nightonficmountain and

fandom5k revealed in the past few days, and I wrote things in both!

[NoFM] the promise to teach wildness. killing eve, nadia/villanelle. 1.1k words, rated m. for

engmaresh

Oksana and Nadia meet in prison.

I didn't sign up this year, but this was an absolutely irresistible post-deadline pinch hit. Villanelle's voice is so much fun to slip into, her sort of malicious boredom and incredible capacity for obsession, and pre-betrayal Nadia is a really intriguing character to play with.

[F5K] the day even longer. overwatch, hana/ana. 7k words, rated t. for

echoslam

Hana, post-Shooting Star, on appearances and living.

I loved every single prompt echoslam had for Hana, and was absolutely delighted that I had free reign to write nearly any relationship I wanted. The contrast between the face she has to present to the public and what she's actually gone through fascinating, and I loved getting to write her with her teammates and Ana.

My F5K gift was goddamn stunning:

the harrowing. under the pendulum sun, cathy/mab, cathy/ariel. 7k, rated m. by

pendrecarc.

The morning after the hunt, Mab sent a summons, and Catherine Helstone's brother went in his sister's stead.

If she had responded herself, things might have turned out differently.

Canon divergence of my DREAMS, ft arranged marriages and Arcadian worldbuilding and gorgeous body horror and Cathy in her marriage bed with Mab wearing Ariel's dress and it's SO GOOD I cannot DEAL.

Tags:

ssrconfidential revealed today! I wrote a thing!

welcome and recognise me. agent carter, peggy/dottie. 670 words, rated T. for

sapphire2309.

Peggy needs a break; Dottie has an unconventional way of granting her wish.

Ft. lipstick, affectionate kidnapping, and Chateau Marmont suites.

Tags:

I don't remember now why I didn't sign up for

jukebox_fest - I think I probably forgot about either nominations or signups, though considering what my past few months have been it's probably for the best - but I did manage to slide in one treat, after asking for recs for requests with dark f/f potential (look. I have a niche.)

kiss them all goodnight. bellyache - billie eilish (song), narrator/her lover. 1k words, rated t. for

sapphire2309.

TRANSCRIPTION OF THE TESTIMONY OF E. K[]
24.2.2017
STATE OF CALIFORNIA V. E.K[]
LAC BA342574 - 01

The narrator of the song is a girl who killed her friends after they robbed a bank together, and sorta-maybe feels sorry about it but also sorta-maybe doesn't care, beyond, perhaps, a vague curiosity about what she's just done. I got to have some fun with the formatting here, writing the fic as a transcript of the narrator's deposition as part of the post-canon criminal case she's at the centre of serving as a way to flip between the depths of her head and the outside world, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

And some recs:

between the strand and the sea. sailor and siren - kunika (song), ofc/ofc. 1.6k words, rated t. by

Scytale.

After a life at court, Lynet settles down to a life of solitude, music, and gardening. She doesn't expect an old friend to show up.

Spymaster bard/pirate queen friends-to-lovers, with some really lovely thoughts on folklore preservation.

christmas Letters from the andersons, 1971-1975. angie baby - helen reddy (song), gen. 2.4k words. by

gamerfic.

As the holiday season draws near, we especially miss our friends and family back in Council Bluffs. We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year. Walt's transfer and our move have had their ups and downs for the family, and things haven't always turned out like we expected they would. We're all still hoping the best is yet to come!

Snapshots of a family, perfectly on the line between mundane and fantastical horror.

trouble. addicted to you - avicii (music video), ofc/ofc. 1.5k words. by

thedevilchicken.

Everyone said Evy had a reputation. Ola couldn't help but want to find out why.

Hot joyous noir-tinged girlfriends, and what it means to be bad.

and then there were none. russian roulette - red velvet (song), gen & m/f. 1.7k words, rated t. by

Reishiin.

How many ways are there for a girl to die? As many as there are stars in the sky.

A dreamy sort of fairytale about what happens when the threads between murder and love are pulled apart.

gathered, buried, burnt. furnace room lullaby - neko case, gen. 1.4k words, not rated. by

Measured_Words.

Desperation is a matter of perspective.

What happens when you find a heart under a faerie tree and drink it down, pitch-perfect horror.

Since

smutswap reveals happened this weekend! I always feel a little weird about setting out to write porn, especially for a person and a deadline, but I always have fun with it anyway.

the taste of you alone (of glass and bone). killing eve, anna/oksana. explicit, 2.1k words. for

summerdayghost.

Oksana is experimenting with crying, lately. Anna is so pretty when she cries, there is maybe something about tears that she can use, if she ever needs - Anna has always been the best of teachers, the best of women, and if crying will make her happy, well, Oksana will give her as many tears as she would diamonds.

Anna, Oksana, a weekend alone. I've wanted to get into Villanelle's head since I finished the show, and this letter was such an amazing invitation. Villanelle's such an intriguing mix of outwardly cold/inwardly burning, sinking into others and yet being so deceptively easy to read, and I had a great time writing this and exploring some of the early days of her relationship with Anna.

And I got two wonderful gifts! Both by people I hadn't crossed paths with in the exchange scene before, but I'm definitely going to keep my eye out for them from now on.

jealousy is a cruel mistress. doctor who, missy/river. explicit, 1.4k words. by

chamilet.

Missy has always been jealous of River Song. Turns out, there was no need to be.

Delightful sexy interrogations with bonus fix-it for Missy's death, I love.

mark me up, mark me down. chilling adventures of sabrina, prudence/lilith. explicit, 1.9k words. by

misswriterly.

Prudence's Queen hears her worship and decides to make use of it.

Dreamy praise kink-y prophet/goddess sex, as they both deserve.

And three fics that were not technically for me, but may as well have been.

hidden spring. the hobbit (movies), tauriel/ofc. explicit, 3.1k words. by

Innin.

Following an ill-advised fight against the Mirkwood spiders, Tauriel and fellow captain Lindalmë have a chance to rest and recover.

Lush and affectionate, by turns playful and sad, and edged with a whole lot of spooky-gorgeous forest imagery.

fits the crime. star wars sequel trilogy, rose/kylo. explicit, 1.1k words. by

lucymonster.

Rose has never agreed with the decision to grant Kylo clemency. She’d rather see him locked in a dungeon, shackled and helpless – but with that off the table, her innovator’s mind has found another way to administer justice.

There’s nothing she can do to force this on him. There’s nothing he can do to make himself say no.

Kylo is still looking for ways to self-sabotage, Rose is uninterested in forgiving him, and I'm a lot dead.

from the desk of gertrude robinson. the magnus archives, mary/gertrude. explicit, 2.5k words. by

Zai42.

Mary has a tendency to bring Gertrude gifts.

A Leitner made them do it, ft incredible knifeplay and an absolutely perfect Gertrude voice.

Current Music: paranoia - liza anne

Guess who forgot

agegapexchange reveals were gonna be today c/o being some variation of sick all damn week? Me! I had treating plans, but work and life both had other plans :(

step on the glass, staple your tongue. buffy the vampire slayer, drusilla/willow. 1.8k, rated M. for

summerdayghost.

"People will come looking for me," the witch says, soon after she's come home. "My friends miss me."

Drusilla brushes her hair back from her face, the crimson brittle like dried blood, crackling cold over her skin. "Will they really, pet?" she asks softly. Mustn't frighten the fragile things, mustn't drop them from shelves just yet. "They're afraid of you and me. Too much magic, too much blood, too many spirals."

Drusilla makes a friend, or something close to one. Mind the AO3 tags for - among other things - extreme dubcon and blood drinking. Dru's an eternal, formative fave of mine, and getting to spend some time in her head nailing down her voice was an absolute joy.

And in return

venndaai wrote me in the dark, a really glorious Darth Zash/Female Inquisitor fic that gets into absolutely everything I love about weird darkside stuff and ambiguously cruel mentorship, I love it a lot and you should too.

Current Music: so human of you - shireen

worldbuildingex revealed! I wrote things!

down to the shady groves. chilling adventures of sabrina, hilda & sabrina. gen, 1k words. for

phantomlistener /

theuncertainhour.

The first tree of the Greendale Wood did not know that was its name, when it first peered above the soil on a day when the sky was bronze and the sun was high. It would, in fact, not know any name at all for nearly a thousand years.

Hilda tells her niece a bedtime story and plans for the future. I had a lot of the story prose written very early in the writing period (er, as soon as I read

theuncertainhour's letter, lbr), but it didn't click for me until I turned it into a framed story with Hilda - I love Hilda, but don't write her nearly enough, but getting the chance to explore her relationship with the woods - which, like her, are obviously magic but terrifying mostly in glimpses - was so much fun.

I was also originally going to use much more Gaidhlig in this, before dialling it back for the sake of oops this is an exchange fic, huh, but I'd like to point you all at Scottish Natural Heritage's searchable English/Gaidhlig dictionary of nature terms, SNH's list of Gaidhlig plant/animal/fungi words and the Natural History Museum's list of lists of all UK species ordered by criteria ranging from 'all the endangered bees' to 'all the non-marine molluscs in the country'.

not blinded by the lights. critical role, keyleth & raishan. teen, 3.4k words. for

sevenofspade /

dhampyresa.

No matter the story, I learned the same lesson: at the places where life and magic are both found in excess, it is possible to become a god. With enough study, with enough truths - I can make any and all of those stories my story as well.

I will carve out my own place among your pantheon. I will rise.

I spend a lot of time in Keyleth's head in my Critical Role fic (usually when she's angsting over her kill you/be you dilemma wrt Raishan while fucking Raishan) so it was fun to flip things around and write from inside Raishan's head for a while. There's some not-entirely-subtle nods to some of my old favourite D&D things in here, notably Pathfinder's Test of the Starstone and 4E's understanding of the Astral Sea, and figuring out how to make them uniquely a part of Exandria both as Matt established it and as Raishan would understand it was a great puzzle.
