Author reveals for Fandom 5K have happened, and so I can finally share what I wrote :D

In the weeks following the destruction of the Council Chambers, three things are true.

Piltover lives in suspense, wary of both the Undercity and Noxus. The Undercity falls into chaos, every chem-baron eager to claim Silco’s throne. A reinstated Caitlyn Kiramman keeps digging, certain the connection between the enforcers and chem-barons hasn’t died with Marcus.

But when someone starts trying to kill Vi, Caitlyn’s forced to reckon with everything they haven’t talked about.

I should try to do this exchange more regularly - both times I've quite satisfied with my gift and the resulting work.

Midnight Radio

This podcast was a sweet, slow listen of a love story, that was also about loving and hating your hometown and what it means to leave it, or to come back. Sybil the radio announcer has a lovely voice, which is good, because we mostly hear her. Do wish we got to hear Amelia, as much as ambiguity might have been the point.

Fanwork Recs

(Critical Role) This person's songs for each of the Nein are so, so good. Perfect understanding of the characters displayed in both the lyrics and music. Particular favorites are Fjord's, Beau's and Jester's.

(Starship Iris) All The Numbers Between Zero And One by [archiveofourown.org profile] vachtar - F!Park & McCabe going on a stakeout, a great gift fic I received in the Rule 63 Exchange.

Writing

Wrote a couple of Critical Role fics, including one for the aforementioned R63 Exchange.

a question, not an answer (Beau/F!Caleb) - Caleb is a woman. That makes things go a little different with Beauregard.

Fragile Opening (Beau/Yasha) - After the battle with Vokodo, Yasha asks an unexpected question of Beau.

(I continue to be unimpressed with the wanky parts of CritRole fandom, because I managed to get rude comments on the most default type of genderswap fic. Giant fandoms, sigh.)

According to the first vignette, it was Violet's birthday on Wednesday, so I ended up using that as an arbitrary deadline by which to post the whumpy vampires and werewolves AU that had been rolling around in my head.

An actual full year of being in a fic-writing mood, which is a first for me. I continue to thank the fortuitous mid-2018 timing of my dabbling in fic again coinciding with my friend's recommendation for Starship Iris, haha. And exchanges, exchanges are very motivating.

My word count spreadsheet says I wrote a total of 89,698 words throughout the year, which is higher than I expected, honestly. I think my 2020 goal is to write more fic that ends up on AO3, as satisfying as the quick ficlets are.

Like many things in the midst of June, posting anywhere about my Fandom 5k gift got lost in the shuffle of things. So, here it is linked below!

Unburied by [archiveofourown.org profile] Soulstoned
Fandom: Voltron
Pairing: Pidge/Allura
Summary: When Allura asked Pidge to be her fake wife for the weekend so she could attend a summit on a planet where all adult visitors must be married and accompanied by their spouse, she thought it would be easy, maybe even fun. Unfortunately she forged their marriage documents far too well and now they are legally binding.
Thoughts: Fun thoughts for what each of their post-Voltron lives look like, Pidge's internal narrative is amusing, and that conversation she has with Matt is so, so funny.

There were several good reads in the collection - I liked the following Star Wars fic.

After the Rain by [archiveofourown.org profile] thedevilchicken
Fandom: Star Wars
Pairing: Obi-Wan/Anakin
Summary: After his death, Anakin decides to use the Force to travel into the past and keep Obi-Wan alive. He goes back a little further than expected, to the day of a cancelled diplomatic mission in the middle of the Clone Wars. This time, Anakin decides to see that mission through.
Thoughts: This took me back to all my prequel feelings about these two, and the characterization is so good - Obi-Wan denying, again and again, and Anakin who's always going to be selfish about these things. :D

The gift fic I wrote was for...Starship Iris, unsurprisingly. The fake-dating shenanigans that I've wanting to write for these two forever.

No Bold Moves
Fandom: The Strange Case of Starship Iris
Pairing: Violet/Arkady
Summary: In a different world, some fences didn’t get mended. Too bad. That would make pretending to be engaged for this job a lot easier.
Words: 15000 words

Title: The Smuggler's Guide To Breaking In A New Ship
Fandom: The Strange Case of Starship Iris
Characters: Sana Tripathi, the rest of the Rumor/Iris gang
Summary: It's a long way from New Jupiter.
Length: 7700 words

Essentially a few scenes of the newly expanded crew dealing with life on their new ship, from Sana's PoV.

Happy 2019!

Dealing with a very minor cough over the past week which was annoying for my birthday and the new year, but will definitely take this over the utterly debilitating sore throat I had for the week before my week in California. (Speaking of which, I love NYC but I miss in-n-out so much y'all. No, I don't want to taste how meaty the patty is, please drench it in delicious delicious sauce.)

I participated in Yuletide for the first time, and received this lovely fic!

Rah Rah by [archiveofourown.org profile] kirani
Fandom:Bend it Like Beckham
Pairing: Jess/Jules
Summary: The room is tiny but it’s theirs, and that’s all that matters. There are two twin beds on either side of the room with dressers built into the walls beside matching closet doors on either side of the entrance. Two desks sit at the ends of the beds. Thoughts: I love reading about these two getting closer in college and the very natural way that the team assumes that they're already dating. Sometimes all you want is fluffy f/f getting together for the holidays, and this fic delivered. :D

I have a list of Yuletide recs over at my tumblr here, and hoping to eventually post more because I do have more. (Ocean's 8 had like...20 fics so I still got more to read.)

I ended up writing two fics for The Strange Case of Starship Iris, because I really can't tell when my little obsession with this podcast is going to stop (or if it will).

that very specific look by [archiveofourown.org profile] jaggedwolf
Fandom: TSCOSI
Summary: Violet, Sana and Arkady explore an abandoned lab in hopes of getting ahead of the IGR for once. Instead, things get a little mixed up.

if that red string could bite by [archiveofourown.org profile] jaggedwolf
Fandom: TSCOSI
Summary: It was one of those rare times Arkady felt a little optimistic - the nanobots were dealt with, the Rumor was back on its regular routes and there was no sign of the next threat. Then the goose showed up.
