spoil deadloch s2 for me

2026-03-22T11:38:06Z

In one (1)!! specific way — I suspect I already know the answer to this, because unlike most of fandom I did actually watch the season 1 that the Kates gave me and not the season 1 in my head, but new season new possibilities however extremely slight for disappointment!

Anyway, does s2 end with Cath and Dulcie still together y/n.

('Kimara can't you spoil that for yourself' not without seeing both shitty opinions on Cath and also spoilers for other things, so I don't wanna.)

tis the season, as they say

Fresh Femslash Salad Bar table year three! My overall level of accomplishment seems to hover around 1-2 fills, so let's see if we can, hm, meet that this year. Exceeding would be nice, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

fiachairecht's salad bar

salad 1	Antihero, Infidelity & failed resurrection
salad 2	Cigarettes, Enemies that Fuck & the villains win
salad 3	Violence, Exes & unable to ever go home
salad 4	Chiaroscuro, Friends with Benefits & the corrupted hero
salad 5	Elbow Length Gloves, Enemies to Lovers & breakup
salad 6	Revenge, Rivals to Lovers & slowly but steadily losing control
salad 7	Femme Fatale, Friends to Lovers & winning the battle but losing the war
salad 8	Paranoia, Established Relationship & time travel break-it
salad 9	Alienation, Unrequited & running away from problems
salad 10	Doomed, Getting Together & giving up

Salad 1 feels like Ripley/Delilah fic ... salad 3 might be Bletchley Circle fic ... salad 8 is absolutely Toni/someone(s) wrestling fic ... I am thinking thoughts!! I do not know that I will write any thoughts. But I like collecting tables so here I am.

ficathon: bring her bleeding heart to me (round eight)

2026-02-01T13:15:51Z

Bring Her Bleeding Heart to Me
{ a dark femslash commentfic meme for femslash february }

Year eight! And ya ghoul's still using the promo graphics she made in 2018! Do not worry about it! You know the drill by now, February is a dreich month redeemed by the existence of Femslash February, let's celebrate our redemption from the weather by creating dark femslash! If we suffer our faves should suffer, or something like that, and also the purity brigade gets more annoying by the year.

Rules

You must be 18+ to participate

One prompt per comment.

Prompt comment subject lines should follow the format "Fandom - Ship - short description of prompt", for example "Fate: The Winx Saga - Farah/Rosalind - noncon somnophilia"

Fills should be posted as replies to the prompt comment, with subject lines following the format "FILL: Title - Rating", for example "FILL: in your dreams - Explicit"

'Any Fandom', '[Canon character]/Any female character' and 'Any female character/Any female character' prompts are allowed'.

If filling an 'Any' prompt, fandom and/or ship names in the fill titles are appreciated but not mandatory

Warnings at the start of fills are appreciated but not mandatory. In fact, the entire comments section is a choose not to warn-friendly space.

Multiple fills and self-fills are both allowed.

Don't be a fuckwit. Kinkshaming, ship-bashing, and any other harassment will get you banned from my journal.

If you're banned from my journal you're also banned from this event.

FAQ
What can I prompt?
Any / relationship between two or more female characters, from any fictional canon(s). You cannot prompt rule 63. Female player characters from games where you choose the PC's gender (e.g. Mass Effect's Female Shepard) are allowed, canon alternate-universe female versions of main-universe male characters (e.g. Marvel Comics' Natasha Stark) are allowed.

How many prompts can I leave?
As many as you like, but each prompt must be its own comment.

Can I repost prompts from a previous year?
Yes.

Can I fill prompts from previous years without reposting them?
Sure, all previous posts are in the tag, and if you want people to see it you can link in this year's fills thread.

Are crossovers allowed?
Yes. Your prompt should make it clear which canons you're requesting, and which characters belong to which canons.

Is RPF allowed?
No, this fest is for fictional canons only. Fictionalised versions of real people (e.g. Anne/Ann from Gentleman Jack) are allowed. Kayfabe/in-character professional wrestlers are allowed. Idols and other musicians playing themselves in music videos are allowed.

What about original works?
No, but original female characters from any fandoms are more than welcome, in the form of '[Fandom] - [Canon character]/OFC' or '[Fandom] - OFC/OFC' prompts.

Is there an underage policy?
Prompt whatever you like. However, sexually explicit fills involving characters under the age of 16 need to be posted elsewhere and linked.

Do fills have to be fic?
No! Fanart, fanmixes, podfic (new or with the original author's permission), or pictures of your lovingly-crocheted Rey and Phasma dolls murdering each other are all great too.

Is there an AO3 collection?
Yes, over here, though posting is not a requirement and in the commentfic meme spirit of old I encourage you to also crosspost to your personal or fic journals. You're under no obligation to gift fanworks to the prompter, and prompters are free to reject fills - this is not an exchange. There is also a collection on Superlove thanks to luckyzukky! I'm not active on AO3 anymore and that collection is effectively unmoderated, but I do hang out on Superlove so give me a shout if something's up with that collection.

Can I use things I write for this to fill prompts in other events / combine prompts here with prompts in other events?
Yes, as long as the mods of that event are fine with cross-fills.

What makes fanworks dark?
I am borrowing darkestnightex's definition, and saying it is "anything that deals with disturbing, violent, and/or depressing themes." Sexy body horror, gory murder, psychological manipulation, noncon, extreme angst, getting together in the aftermath of one character's attempted suicide, etc are all fair game, as are dark takes on traditionally-fluffy tropes such as soulmates. If you want inspiration for Situations to put your favourites in, summerofhorrorexchange has a fun list of horror subgenres with examples.

But that means there'll be problematic fic here!
Yes, that's the point, now take responsibility for your own internet life and go be somewhere else.

fanmix: a lonely tower

2026-01-07T16:26:42Z

I know hollowbolding and I are virtually alone on team 'Moiraine and Siuan's romantic relationship was over before we saw them meet and Siuan died exactly as and when she should have' but that has never stopped me from making my feelings everyone else's problem anyway. Happy new year? Have a Toni/Mariah icon because my paid time ran out and I am debating whether it's reasonable for me to purchase more despite how much I think the site deserves it, given how little I'm here.

A LONELY TOWER that held the versions of you that thought love would make you a different person, through which you're dragging the ghost of your relationship hoping the remnants and memories of your love is enough to re-animate it in this life, in which you're living when your dear friend almalexia comes to kill you — a fanmix about moiraine, siuan, and the things love doesn't save

i. cornflower blue flower face ii. the scythe the last dinner party iii. the craving kingfisher sky iv. love's souvenir seven spires v. i buried us blackbriar vi. a vampire's view the flower kings vii. if i could madder mortem viii. hide in shade zeal & ardor ix. sun down shores glass hammer x. tower one the flower kings

no thoughts just meme

2025-10-25T15:37:56Z

A rare public post as this is mostly links to my fics.

Do you know, I still have a half-written Mabon post somewhere in a tab? Yes I'm aware we're much closer to Samhain than Mabon these days, tl;dr (or more precisely tl;dw, too long, Kimara didn't write) - life very good, have a meme stolen from, among other people, likealighthouse, sushiflop, and shadaras.

All links to Dreamwidth posts, as usual, yes this was an excuse to crosspost some more stuff. I had duplicates for a lot of letters, I just ended up linking either the first one I saw or one I thought people should read or the one let me have a slightly more representative spread of fandoms.

Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for [starting] a fic title? One fic per line, 'A' and 'The' do not count for 'a' and 't'. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count.

A — as ice entombs lakes (elder scrolls online, freiwen/maxten)
B — breathing underwater (all elite wrestling, julia/kris)
C — carpet burns and carousels (dare me tv, addy/beth, addy/colette)
D — damaged like me (the locked tomb, cytherea/mercy, cytherea/loveday, cristabel/mercy)
E — eyes down for the casting (buffy the vampire slayer, drusilla/jenny)
F — future politics (star wars: bloodlines, carise/leia)
G — god feared in whose arms i'm sleeping (gentleman jack, anne/mariana)
H — how tall the trees (zone blanche, camille/marion)
I — in your garden, forever (star wars sequels, amilyn/leia)
J — just before a light (the closer, brenda/sharon)
K — katabasis (thoroughbreds, amanda/lily)
L — little red relish (critical role, cassandra/delilah)
M — more guilt on my hands (overwatch, ana/widowmaker)
N — not a song but a war declaration (critical role, keyleth/raishan)
O — or we both will break (fate: the winx saga, farah/rosalind)
P — palms carved on the altars of death (star wars: the old republic, f!inquisitor/zash)
Q —
R — running out of air (lord of the rings books, tom bombadil & goldberry & old man willow)
S — sub-zero, can't stand still (babylon 5, delenn~lyta)
T — tell me about your dreams (chilling adventures of sabrina, lilith/sabrina, mary/sabrina)
U — unfond of memories (true detective: night country, danvers~navarro)
V — vetiver (shirley 2020, rose/shirley)
W — what else is there? (wheel of time tv, lanfear/liandrin, liandrin~moiraine)
X —
Y — you will feed us little deaths (killing eve, eve/vilanelle)
Z — zoya no (zoya yes) (grishaverse, zoya, mal)

24/26! Actually a bit surprised I don't have any fic titles starting with 'quiet'? EXTREMELY funny to me that the only reason I have a Z title is because a decade ago I was too lazy to figure out a title for a 400w long humour piece! I have, delightfully, exactly 300 fics on Dreamwidth now, another, hm, call it a hundred fics on AO3 that still need to be crossposted? I had 420 fics on AO3 when I started crossposting, now down to 277, but there's some duplicates as I'm obviously not deleting exchange gifts, a few fics I decided not to crosspost, and some exchange fics that I haven't xposted yet.

And a textbox, for anyone else who wants to play:

promptmeme: make it morrowind may

2025-05-01T23:38:58Z

If your canon doesn't have a god's corpse in it naturally store-bought (Morrowind AU) is fine.

The singular point of Make It Morrowind May is to take a canon and Make It Morrowind. AUs, crossovers, fusions, isekais, whatever term for This Canon And These Characters Are Now (In) Morrowind I'm forgetting. Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind, and Elder Scrolls Legends: Houses of Morrowind AUs etc are all allowed. I'm not interested in policing prompts/fills, but I reserve the right to screen things that are asking for e.g. Skyrim isekai as not in the spirit of the fest.

This is the most self-indulgent thing I have ever done and I, frankly, do not expect a huge participant pool. I haven't even made a banner. Feel free to surprise me.

Rules

☠ To participate in the meme, all you have to do is leave a prompt or reply to a prompt with a fill.

☠ Post your prompt as a comment to this post, one prompt per comment. Prompt comment subject lines should follow the format Fandom, Character(s) or Ship, short description of prompt, for example Wheel of Time, Lanfear, Lanfear is Kagrenac.

☠ 'Any fandom' and 'Specific fandom, any character' prompts are allowed.

☠ If you want to use an image or video as a prompt that's fine, but please link to it with a description rather than putting it directly in the comment.

☠ Please avoid excessively detailed prompts or DNW sections within your prompts. This is not an exchange, these are not gifts for you

☠ Post your fills as replies to the prompt comment. Fill comment subject lines should follow the format FILL: title, rating.

☠ If filling an 'Any' prompt, fandom and/or ship names in the fill titles are appreciated but not mandatory

☠ Warnings at the start of fills are appreciated but not mandatory. In fact, the entire comments section is a choose not to warn-friendly space.

☠ Fills can be in any medium. I recognise that some mediums may be trickier than others and ask that you use your best judgement, e.g. a gifset of a non-Morrowind tv show with a Morrowind quote overlaid would be fine.

☠ Link your fills in the fills thread below. I'll collect them in a masterpost after the event ends.

☠ Multiple fills and self-fills are allowed.

☠ You can use fills you create for this event to fill prompts in other events, as long as those events are also hosted on Dreamwidth and their mods are fine with cross-fills.

☠ Be 18+ and don't be a fuckwit. Complaining that you don't like a prompt, character-bashing, and other wankery will get you banned from my journal. If you're already banned from my journal, you may not participate.

6x agatha harkness fic recs

2025-04-16T19:36:49Z

Uhhhhh it was meant to be Agatha All Along fic recs but then a Wandavision one snuck in. Anyway I keep seeing fic rec lists and going 'wow! all of those sound boring and awful and like the fics were written for a totally different show!' so I made my own. Alphabetical order by title, minimal warnings, these authors almost certainly have other good A3 fics that I didn't rec, yknow, all the Kimara Makes A Rec List staples. Weirdly weighted towards smut, to an extent I wasn't expecting.

allow my love to find her brutal way to me. agatha all along, agatha/rio, billy, mrs hart. 9.1k words, rated e. by thiswildernessismyhome.

Rio just wants one conversation with Agatha. One. And if she has to trap them both in a time loop to make it happen, so be it.

Fic that made me think 'yeah okay I'll believe the show's version of Nicky specifically so I can read this fic reacting to it'. Which is not a thing I thought I would ever say, but here we are, the Rio voice in this is that good.

body of work. agatha all along, agatha/rio. 38.k+ words (wip), rated e. by gnawingsuspicion

Throughout history, Agatha Harkness has left behind no shortage of casualties. As her power and body count grows, she catches the eye of Death herself.

Fic that doubles and triples and quadruples down on YES Agatha's an unrepentant mass murder and YES magic is super fucking weird and YES Rio is Death is also not human. Still a WIP so possibly will lead to regrets later, but eh, the first seven chapters are probably one of my favourite backstories for them I've seen.

The sweet things she says are always bait.

So it turns out, when you get to the bedroom, there's nothing fucking there: you should've expected as much.

In the cabin, Rio faces her biggest obstacle yet: a genuinely good person. (or, the time loop fic where Death drags Alice Wu-Gulliver, rather unwillingly, back to life)

Rio doesn't understand how she can eat Agatha whole. Rio makes this Alice's problem. Alice is not Not okay with this despite her best efforts.

until next time. wandavision, agatha & wanda. 3.8k words, rated t. by mothersquared.

One day Agnes woke up and went to the square. Every day Agnes woke up and went to the square.

kimaracretak's salad bar

salad 1	Lord of the Lost, Coercion & Salamander
salad 2	Rina Sawayama, Trauma & Gnome
salad 3	ionnalee, Divorce & Water
salad 4	Katatonia, Death & Fire
salad 5	The Pretty Reckless, Imprisonment & Undine
salad 6	Jenny Hval, Gore & Air
salad 7	Candlemass, Cults & Earth
salad 8	Diablo Swing Orchestra, Self-harm & Sylph
salad 9	Night Club, Delusions & Void
salad 10	Blackbriar, Haunted & Aether

What do we think ghouls ... personally I think #1 is begging for Under the Pendulum Sun fic, divorce + water is giving me Cath/Dulcie vibes (I don't have the heart to permanently break them up but hear me out), imprisonment for Caitlyn/Jinx obviously, #6 is something vampires, and #10 is like theeee Agatha/Rio combination ... many thoughts to think!!

fic top threes meme

2024-07-08T04:04:37Z

Stolen from everywhere, as per usual. I did one version for my AO3 fics (320, currently) and one for my Dreamwidth ones (229). There's obviously overlap between the two, Dreamwidth is the only place where my post-June 2023 fics live, and AO3 has exchange stuff and generally older stuff. I've also left out umbrella/category tags, stuff like 'Star Wars - All Media Types' since I tag that for discoverability rather than my own organisation.

( AO3 stats )

( Dreamwidth stats )

I was hoping this would help me decide what to crosspost next (I should probably finish either Overwatch or Killing Eve fics, really) but it did not! I shall end with the question that some versions of this added on:

7. Did any of these answers surprise you reading this?

six sentence sunday

2024-05-20T06:22:12Z

Started for gloss's prompt for River horror on my prompt meme, utterly failed to do anything with it remotely on time, still unsure where this is going (besides Augustine and Abigail going 'wow there is something very wrong with you' at each other).

On her third day as a Lyctor, Abigail the First, the Tenth Saint to serve the King Undying, sank beneath the River and swallowed two mouthfuls of something that was not water.

She would have swallowed more, but the strong hand of her elder brother left its place on the hilt of his rapier, fixed itself in her hair, and hauled her up above the surface.

She looked only slightly the worse for wear, her stolen eyes clouded over and a string of black muck dripping from the corner of her mouth, but fortunately she was still in one piece. Less fortunately, Augustine had no idea what new pieces might have been added to the less-than-delightful bundle of irritation that had apparently found itself in charge of his House.

"I will give your training to Mercymorn if you do that again," he said, because he already knew that forbidding her from doing such a thing again would cause her to attempt such a thing again immediately.

Abigail merely smiled, which had the unfortunate effect of revealing that the River had stained her teeth. "You wouldn't," she said, "Becuase that would mean admitting she might be able to teach me where you couldn't."

Abigail causing problems on purpose hours, and all that.

It is 3weeks4dreamwidth time and I am celebrating extremely old-school style and bringing a mini version of my old beloved sharp_teeth to Dreamwidth! The fest is open to everyone and runs here for the full three weeks (until it's no longer May 15th in any timezone)

Rules

☠ This is a comment meme for creating works focussed on horror for any canon, including original works and crossovers. summerofhorrorexchange has a list of horror subgenres for your inspiration!

☠ This is a comment meme for gen (in the relationship sense, i.e. not focussed on romance or sex) fanworks. Background pairings are allowed, but should not be the focus of the work.

☠ This is a comment meme for Dreamwidth. Works should be Dreamwidth-exclusive for the duration of the event, to the extent possible (e.g. artists and podficcers obviously need to host somewhere, but fic should not be posted to AO3 until after the 15th). You can crosspost anywhere on Dreamwidth (your own journal or fic comm, other thematically relevant comms) at any point during the event, and anywhere else after May 15th.

☠ To participate in the meme, all you have to do is leave a prompt or reply to a prompt with a fill.

☠ Post your prompt as a comment to this post, one prompt per comment. Prompt comment subject lines should follow the format Fandom, Character(s), short description of prompt, for example Zone Blanche, Camille, came back wrong.

☠ 'Any fandom' and 'Specific fandom, any character' prompts are allowed.

☠ If you want to use an image or video as a prompt that's fine, but please link to it with a description rather than putting it directly in the comment.

☠ Post your fills as replies to the prompt comment. Fill comment subject lines should follow the format FILL: title, rating.

☠ If filling an 'Any' prompt, fandom and/or ship names in the fill titles are appreciated but not mandatory

☠ Warnings at the start of fills are appreciated but not mandatory. In fact, the entire comments section is a choose not to warn-friendly space.

☠ Link your fills in the fills thread below. I'll collect them in a masterpost after the event ends.

☠ Multiple fills and self-fills are allowed.

☠ You can use fills you create for this event to fill prompts in other events, as long as those events are also hosted on Dreamwidth and their mods are fine with cross-fills.

☠ Be 18+ and don't be a fuckwit. Complaining that you don't like a prompt, character-bashing, and other wankery will get you banned from my journal.

Friends

Gen horror not your thing? There are other prompt fests ongoing! If you're running one as well, drop the link in the Questions/Etc thread and I'll add it here.

New Blackbriar song is lesbian vampires and I am DYING to read the discography-spanning essay on Death as a faceless male figure Zora draws into the mortal world (Cicada, Mortal Remains) vs Death as a woman in her own right drawing Zora into another world (Fairy of the Bog, Moonflower) vs Zora incarnate as Death (Arms of the Ocean, The Cause of Shipwreck). There's something fascinating going on but unfortunately I have not had a brain in five years so.

Stolen from my network page, as usual, slightly adapted, as usual.

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted to my fic journal, including crossposts) fics and see if there’s a pattern!

save me, tear me to pieces (star wars, rey~kylo)
It takes him nearly an hour to calm his thrashing, by which time the warmth of the rising sun has dried his blood into a thick sort of blanket that's sealed him into Rey's lap like a promise.

as your whisper stilled my heart (agent carter, dottie/peggy)
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.

welcome and recognise me (agent carter, dottie/peggy)
The lipstick cap snaps down with all the finality of a gunshot, and Dottie tilts her head, examining the effect in the mirror.

the lullaby will become a lull (under the pendulum sun, ariel/cathy + cathy/mab)
I stopped dreaming after we set foot in Pivot.

free to light (jordskott, klara & ylva)
Klara steps off first train from Stockholm into Silverhöjd on a summer morning, and it is evening by the time she crosses into the forest — it should not be evening yet but the blues and pinks of the sunset are reaching out for her as the sun descends.

beware the touch (under the pendulum sun, ariel/cathy + cathy/mab)
Mab visited me every night during our journey to Pivot.

damaged like me (the locked tomb, mercy/cytherea + cytherea/loveday + mercy~cristabel)
The day before they left each other for another two hundred years, Mercymorn the First did not kick Cytherea out of bed.

moch diluain ghabh i 'n cuain (shetland, rhona & cassie & jimmy)
Three days before Midsummer, Rhona comes home to find Cassie Perez sat on her front stoop with her purse balanced on top of a precarious tower of three biscuit tins.

a drop into the ocean (shetland, rhona/phyllis)
The first time Phyllis comes to Shetland, Rhona takes her swimming.

the damage was all mine (marianne, caroline/marianne)
The dreams come back again — or perhaps they never left, perhaps Caroline is just remembering them again.

Longer fics usually have longer first sentences? If something is horror you will often know Something Is Off from the beginning? I mostly just write post-canon fic for Under the Pendulum Sun? It is actually very funny to see 'moch diluain' and 'damaged like me' both starting with 'time, event' right next to each other. Who knows!

It does occur to me that with my (admittedly extremely irregular) crossposting of old fic to thelonelylake new stuff (especially non-AO3 new stuff!) is possibly very apt to get lost! Also I like linkposts idk. It feels silly to announce every new fic, but also, I want people to see things? Without crossing the line into too much self-promotion? Ah well, have some links.

damaged like me. the locked tomb series - tamsyn muir, cytherea/mercymorn, cytherea/loveday, cristabel~mercymorn. can you cheat on your cavalier after you've eaten them, and other questions mercy and cyth are very ill-equipped to answer. 952w, rated m. for the fresh femslash salad bar.

free to light. jordskott, klara & ylva. tfw you die and the murderforest who loves you is like oops up you get let me take care of whoever did this to you while you have some tea. 1.2k words, rated t. for shadowedhex in bulletproof 23/24.

beware the touch. under the pendulum sun - jeannette ng, cathy/mab, ariel/cathy. nights along the road to pivot. 1.1k words, rated m. for RussetFiredrake in rarefemslashexchange 2023.
