Thank you to all the lovely writers at

trickortreatex for providing me with a wonderful distraction today. Here are my favorites so far:

🎃Only Lovers Left Alive by merle_p
Masters of the Air, Harry Crosby/Sandra Westgate, Rated T
My gift!! This explores Harry's guilty conscious and also features slightly creepy ghost!Bubbles. The angst and the introspection are great.

🎃Day Off by venndaai
The Expanse, Naomi/Camina, Rated G
Just a really plausible and domestic fic where they make time for each other.

🎃it's got to be (you) by

svgurl
MCU, Steve/Tony, Rated T
Lovely and fun getting together fluff!

🎃Dress Up In You by qkind
MCU, Kate/Yelena, Rated T
They dress up as each other for Halloween! The character voices are so well done.

🎃work it out tomorrow by twiquiethere
9-1-1 Lone Star, Billy/Owen, Rated T
Billy is fittingly self-deprecating and Owen's devotion still shines through.

And I wrote:

Ice Walk (Polar Explorer RPF)
Warning for Major Character Death/Ghosts/Blood! I learned about a new fandom and ran with the creepiness of the whole story.
Summary: Will Braine gets lost out on the ice looking for his friends.

After I finished watching Dune II, I was feeling super fannish about it. I didn't feel that way after Dune I but I'm intrigued by Paul turning into the villain of the story, and Feyd-Rautha being so cray, and Chani being so regal and badass.

Which led to me writing a pinch hit for

rarepairexchange:

Two Knives, Two Secrets, Paul/Feyd-Rautha, Rated Mature

Tags: Canon Divergence, Different First Meeting, Power Imbalance, Fighting As Foreplay, Knifeplay, Dom/sub, Painplay

Summary: Paul can have Gurney Halleck back if he agrees to fight Feyd-Rautha, and those are terms Paul can't say no to.

And I got a truly fantastic kinky Paul/Feyd fic for

littleblackdressex! It packs such a punch for being a shorter fic and I love the characterization and Paul using the Voice on Feyd. Please mind the tags.

with teeth, Written by Anon, Rated Explicit

Summary: The door to Feyd-Rautha's chamber rolls aside. Feyd-Rautha lies on the bed, eyes closed, and does not move, for he knows Atriedes by his footsteps.

I'm deep in the ship feels tonight, oof. So here's a list of my favorite Buck Cleven + Bucky Egan fanvids/edits (seems like we're calling shorter vids edits now?) so that I can find them again.

Creatures in Heaven
This song is such a banger, so I love the fast edits to go along with it.

Pilot in the potato field
A comparison between Bucky and Paulina - Basically, Bucky becoming a war widow (or so he thought).

Wait for your Love
Pining John at his peak.

Can I be Yours?
This vid captures the mutual pining *Chef's Kiss*

Piece of My Heart
This song is used SO effectively, wow.

Your Best American Girl
The way this vid builds up in intensity along with the song is so good. The ending packs such a punch!

And this epic vid by winterthief is a really sweeping summary of the Buck/Bucky relationship, with a lot of voiceovers:

Watch on YouTube

I was gifted a Cobra Kai fic with Johnny and Daniel breaking up and making up!! I adore the snappy dialogue, and Johnny being an unreliable narrator - plus all of the supporting character appearances are so nuanced and fun, too.

Knowing Me, Knowing You (2072 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Cobra Kai (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Daniel LaRusso/Johnny Lawrence
Summary:

The thing is, Johnny never thought it would last the week.

Just finished the Hawkeye series. ( Some negativity about the show )

Festivids premiered!!! These are my favorites so far:

You Told the Drunks I Knew Karate; Shane &/Ryan, Buzzfeed Unsolved/Watcher
Why do I do the dumbest things for you? This lyric is EVERYTHING. I cannot stop smiling while I watch this vid. There's so much about their dynamic that is perfectly captured, namely how much fun they have together. Also there's plenty of Ryan facing his fears and Shane just being a goofball, which I can always appreciate.

Trust+Fall; Romeo+Juliet (1996)
Parachute by Ingrid Michaelson as a tragedy?? It works so well! The irony of Romeo being Juliet's parachute! The ending gave me chills. There was so much joy contrasted with violence and sheer stubborness in an impressive way; I felt like this was a fresh take on one of my favorite films!

I'm That Queer; Janelle Monae
I don't know that much about Janelle Monae, but this vid seamlessly weaves together their alter-egos/personas and it feels like an immersive music video and a fight against authoritarianism at the same time! I love how high-energy it is.

We Can Be Anything; Evelyn & Joy, Everything Everywhere All At Once
The editing is so sharp and elegant! The changes in tempo are handled so well, and I loved the uplifting ending. This is a wonderful retelling of the film imo.

Didn't Come to Play; Women's 100m Sprinting
I know nothing about this sport, but that didn't matter because this vid mixed in a bunch of headlines and tweets and news captions to tell a whole story about these incredible women! It's just an absolutely delightful and uplifting watch.

There are so many great vids over at

festivids!! As you can see The Expanse was well represented <3

Summary:
you gotta tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)

This vid made me care about something I knew nothing about! It shows how women in professional sports have to work way harder, and even if they're the best on the court that's not always good enough. I love an inspiring underdog story.

Summary:
Chrisjen Avasarala and James Holden share a deep regard for each other.

This is a great example of the shipper's gaze - and it's getting me invested in a ship I did not care about before.

And two bonuses:

[VID] the wolves (30 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: The Expanse (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Chrisjen Avasarala, Camina Drummer
Summary:
Chrisjen Avasarala. Camina Drummer.
Immovable object, meet unstoppable force.

A dual character study that explores their differences and their similarities. Two of the best female characters on t.v. imo, brought together by a villian of Earth's own making.

ASummary:
Lizzo's big grrrls are ready.

I haven't seen this show yet but this is really inspiring and makes me want to watch the show immediately.

This gemstone is known for calming, grounding energy. I often list to lo-fi playlists on youtube to feel calm and focused. Doing yoga also helps. But I was struck by another part of the description, which says the gemstone can be a beautiful, steadying presence among flashier stones. It makes me so happy to look at fanart! And not just big flashy shippy pieces, but all kinds of doodles and drawings. That was the main appeal of tumblr, because it's so easy to browse fanart, drawings, and aesthetics. And that brings me to

multifandomdoodle! There were so many delightful things in the collection. Some of my favorites include guinea pigs in cups, a chicken and a knight ready for a tournament, a Minoan fresco style acrobat, a cute warning about Iguanas, and a lop-eared bunny!

Also, some of my favorite tumblr drawing/doodle blogs are:
https://pterribledinosaurdrawings.tumblr.com/
https://cryptid-creations.tumblr.com/
https://sargassos.tumblr.com/
https://1coweveryday.tumblr.com/

The name of this gem makes me think of horror tropes and bloodshed. It represents courage and motivation, which are both important traits to utilize when facing your fears and warding off ghosts, monsters, and other scary things.

In that vein, I'm going to recc my favorite fics from

The woods are lovely, dark and deep (554 words) by Anonymous

Fandom: Stardew Valley (Video Game)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Leah/Female Player (Stardew Valley)
Characters: Leah (Stardew Valley), Marnie (Stardew Valley), Emily (Stardew Valley), Jas (Stardew Valley)
Additional Tags: Treat, something nasty in the woods, Horror
Summary:

Once you get past the outer layers, the true nature starts to show...

My Notes: Stardew definitely is ripe for spooky tropes, and this is so well-crafted and tightly written. I love the mystery of the whole thing, and the bits about the farmer's strength.

Characters: Wanda Maximoff, Pietro Maximoff, Stephen Strange
Additional Tags: emotional support systems from beyond the grave, Not DSMoM compliant, 5+1, 5 times Wanda sees a ghost, and 1 time Stephen Strange does
Summary:

This time, when Wanda sees him looking at her in her rearview mirror, a grim line slowly setting between his furrowed brows, she doesn't cower or wonder.

She stares right back, tears streaking silently down her cheeks and asks: "Are you real?"

My Notes: A spooky and sad look at Wanda's grief in relation to Pietro. I really like what the author did with the ending.

Summary:

Although it had fallen, Sokovia refused to go quietly.

My Notes: Sokovia and ghosts! This fic makes me want to read a million more fics like it.

Challenge #10: In your own space, rec a fanwork (fic, art, vid, playlist, anything!) you did not create.

Fanvids bring me a lot of joy, so I'm recommending some of my recent favorites.

•A Bond That Lasts Forever - Shane & Ryan by psychicbergara. THIS! It's so sentimental and has so many iconic quotes and it really captures so much of what is wonderful about their relationship.

•With Arms Wide Open, a Chimney vid by tarlosbuddie. This showcases how Chim (and Maddie) transitioned into parents. I love the way the vid shows Chim's soft side, and how great he is as a dad.

•Traitor, a post Stiles/Malia angsty vid by Sharon. Oof, the show never really got to dive in to the ways that Malia might have been hurt by Stiles, and I like that this vid just lets her be angry and sad for a moment.

•I'm Still Here, a Hen Wilson character study by oneawkwardcookie. Hen!! This vid is so inspiring and shows why Hen is one of the best characters on the show.

•Clumsy, a Buck/Eddie feel-good vid also by oneawkwardcookie. This one has all the shippy goodness and it never fails to make me smile.

My four gifts! ♥ I absolutely love Superbat friends w/ benefits + sugar daddy Bruce, and the DCEU gift fic fits the bill so well.

There are 13 Falcon and The Winter Soldier fics over at

ficinabox and 3 of them are for me, which is so fab. One gives me all of the domestic SamBucky recovery vibes, and I was gifted two super sexy Sam/Bucky/Zemo sex pollen fics.

Right?

Summary:

He had forgotten how incredibly quiet it was out on the water. Sometimes other traffic passed, way out in the Gulf. Ships strung with lights. The glow of oil derricks was just visible on the horizon, and Sam had a brief, wistful thought of the starry sky without that glow, the way the sailors of old had seen it.

Summary:

It wasn't bad yet, just a prickling feeling on his skin, an urge to rub against anything handy. Zemo dragged his fingertips across the rough stone of the cell wall, distracting himself temporarily with the sensation.

"So seriously," Sam was saying to Bucky, his voice rising in exasperation. "You're the only one not affected?"

"Things burn out of my system fast. I can't help it." Bucky gave a small shrug. "What are you feeling?"

"Overheated," Sam said between his teeth.

Day 8: Crack!fic - We all know it. What's your opinion of it, and if you want, show us an example.

I love crack that has to do with fandom inside jokes. Instant depomine. I also like really outlandish premises that are taken seriously in fic. Here are my top 3 crack reccs! ( Featuring a Buzzfeed Unsolved Vid, a Stony fic, and a Turn fic )

Day 9: Drop the cast of a fandom you follow into a reality tv show - who/what/why? If you need a list of reality TV show examples, click here.

I've always had this vague idea where Scott and Stiles enter Derek into a home makeover show. Then a whole crew comes out to completely renovate the Hale house, and make it actually livable again. They would give the big staircase some dramatic railing, and then the living room would be this huge open-concept thing with a shiny new L-shaped couch. Of course the kitchen would get a trough sink and marble countertops. It would be very modern, like his apartment. Randomly throughout the show, people would show up and help or wonder aloud if Derek was actually going to be happy with the changes - sort of freaking out the makeover crew. But then when the big reveal happens, everyone is there. Boyd and Erika and Isaac call dibs on some of the new rooms, and Scott and Stiles won't stop grinning and trying to get Derek to admit how much likes it, and Allison and Lydia are pretty impressed but also giving Derek a hard time about "living in luxury now." And of course Peter shows up and claims that he owns at least half of the place, that is until Cora makes an appearance.

I used to be a big Scott/Stiles shipper, back when I was a little bit obsessed with the best friends to lovers trope. So for the

fffc fandom battle, I've put together a recc list with my favorite Sciles fics. Most are rated explicit. Please mind the tags, but the only warnings are for MCD and underage on a few.

(I have taken the liberty of shortening some of these summaries)

Angels Sing by great_whatsit
Fandom: Surfing RPF, The Endless Summer (1966)
Words: 4,946
Rating: G
Summary: Here’s what you need to know: The Endless Summer (1966) is a surfing documentary shot in 1963 and 1964; it’s widely considered the greatest surfing movie ever made. Robert graduated from high school a few months before the trip began; when it started he was 18, while Mike was 21. This is what happened between the moments depicted in the movie. Maybe.
Notes: I know nothing about surfing, except that I think it's inherently romantic? ANYWAY, this fic blew my socks off. It's so gentle and vivid, and I definitely get romantic pre-slash vibes.

Professor Tricia Would Have a Field Day by nausicaa_lives
Fandom: Letterkenny
Words: 2,697
Rating: E
Summary: Dumb fucking Shoresy, poking his deranged nose in everybody's business (and moms). They ought to shut him up one of these days, but who has time for that when Katy Cat has a free afternoon and ideas about how to fill it.
Notes: Totally plausible feelings exploration, while keeping the guys in character. This fic is both very funny and very sexy.

History says: here are the blankets, layer on layer, down and down by aqualined (inabstract)
Fandom: Puppet History
Words: 1,778
Rating: G
Summary: It’s 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' except he’s the pants—wait, or is he the sisterhood? Well, that metaphor didn’t really land, did it?
Notes: Creative and fun mixed-medium storytelling! The Professor as a cryptid is *chef's kiss* perfection.

It's everywhere you turn by Philipa_Moss
Fandom: God's Own Country

Summary: “He is not your competition,” said Gheorghe. “He is a man I used to know.”
Notes: This is such a lovely snapshot of a committed relationship, heeding canon but still showing Johnny's progress as a person and as a boyfriend.

Rating: G
Summary: While stuck back in the castle one night, while his foster-brother rides out on yet another quest, Cei questions the choices he's made in his life.
Notes: A great introspective piece about the relationship between brothers, and between a brother and sister-in-law. I love how lived-in this fic feels, while still highlighting just how royal and privileged Arthur's family became.

Summary: “I married you for your lands,” she tells him, and Gawain thinks it a fine jest until they reach Blanchemal Hall.
Notes: Evocative imagery and mature medieval love! This fic feels like it could have come straight out of a het romance novel.

Afterlife by Wasuremono

Words: 3,566
Rating: T
Summary: A young man dies six months before the end of human death; his loss saves five lives, which end up much longer than anyone expects. (A series of worldbuilding vignettes about original characters in the 17776 setting.)
Notes: A wonderful ode to canon and humanity in general. This fic brings to life some wonderful new characters that are totally plausible in canon.

Fall Equinox vids are live! These are my favorites:

⭐Baby Outlaw | Charlize Theron Multifandom Appreciation | I realized I should be more of a Theron fan, because this vid is badass!

⭐Whatta Man | George of the Jungle (live action) Appreciation Vid | This is the perfect song for this film! This vid is totally heartwarming and fun.

⭐Vampire Heart | SPN, Benny/Dean | Oof, right in the feels! This reminded me of how tragic Benny and Dean are - maybe that's why I shipped them in the first place.

I got to write two pinch hits for

ficinabox - I think I'll be brave enough to give it a go next year:

• The Dragon Egg | Merlin, Gwaine/Merlin | Teen

This is a canon divergence AU of 4.04, featuring a magic reveal and some fluff with Aithusa.

•Risk and Needs Assessment | 13 Reasons Why, Bryce Walker | Mature (with warnings)

The request for a psychological evaluation for this fandom gave me the opportunity to put some of my work research to use. I'm not a psych, but I did go through the juvenile sex offender assessment. I love when fandom presents opportunities to incorporate RL things to existing characters.

Also, sign-ups for

fandomtrees are open. I think this is the newest replacement to fandom_stocking?

Spring Equinox vidders have been revealed. And there were so many great vids.

⭐Let the Games Begin, a really happy, fun video about She's the Man. This reminded me of how much I loved this movie ♥

⭐Adore You, a Geralt/Jaskier shipping video, featuring pining Jaskier and some really lovely editing. This video serves as a great summary of this OTP. This was a clever take on the overall "games" theme.

⭐Balloons, a video about Community and the paintball wars! I really like the build up of this vid and the use of the song.

⭐Playing to Win, a super high energy Community video about the paintball wars, too. I'm loving the Community resurgence.

The Medici cast did a zoom conference call and took questions from the audience. I missed it live but the HD recording is on youtube. My biggest take away was that Bradley James and Daniel Sharman LOVE to make fun of each other. Daniel calls him Bradders. Their flirty, silly energy is very cute. They also made fun of Sarah Parish because apparently she has a huge house, and I thought that was very millennial of them, lol. Bradley said he cried after his last scene wrapped and he was trying to cry on the down-low, but the Director announced that it was his last scene so he definitely bawled in front of a bunch of strangers. What a precious soul. Also, hate to be too thirsty on main but Bradley's tight blue t-shirt was an excellent choice. Anyway, time to watch season three.

The 2019/2020

festivids collection is live! ♥

(I haven't been able to make a fanvid since 2011 or so, but I still love keeping track of the new fanvideos)

Here are my favorites:

•A Gorgeous Vid Moment - A joyful Queer Eye (2018) compilation set to YMCA that had me in tears. The focus is on all of the people the Fab 5 have helped, and I was reminded of some of the big emotional moments of the show.

•RAISE (a little hell) - A Canadian curling vid, you say? About a team and a sport I know nothing about yet? HELL YES. This video captures a wonderful underdog sports story in a really triumphant way. I'm SO proud of this team of women.

•Little Lion Leo - Hooray for a Humans video about Leo! I really loved the way the maker highlighted all the different relationships that are important to Leo, and used voice overs to highlight his identity struggle. This video is a great recap of Leo's growth.

I love this challenge! It's a chance for me to highlight a fandom medium that doesn't often get a lot of attention: fanvideos!

( MCU Fanvideo reccs of 2019 )

( 5 Fic Reccs from Yuletide )

🎃With These Hands I will Kill | Merlin | Gwen/Morgana
Morgana using dark magic! My gift is so vivid and visceral and I loved how the battle of wills between Morgana and Merlin is portrayed.

🎃Looking for Friends | Original Fiction | Pumpkin Farmer/Man purchasing a suspicious amount of pumpkins
A great meet-cute that gives me happy fall vibes!

🎃Wolves of Ice | MCU | Loki & Thor
Thor sets out to solve a mystery and is drawn into Loki's surreal imagination. The details are so haunting. I really like the gentle build-up of this fic.

🎃Electric Dreams | MCU | Natasha & Clint
This fic manages to be so creepy very quickly! Also, hooray for a robot AU! I love how that creepiness is balanced out with Clint's good humor and loyalty.

🎃my heartbeat is a slow one | Original Fiction | Monster School classmate/Monster school classmate
I love the diverse array of monster characters! And the enemies to lovers trope is fantastic. This fic really embodies the monster mash song imo.

🎃The Woman in Black | Agent Carter | Implied Jack/Daniel/Peggy
A really great whump fic featuring Jack dealing with pain, and Daniel and Peggy being great protectors. I loved the mystery weaved in.

In response to the

sunshine_challenge prompt four, I've gone through my AO3 bookmarks and I've decided to recc fics from my small fandoms that have less than 100 kudos. I'm not going to list the warnings, so please check the tags when you click. These fics and fanvids deserve all of the kudos and comments!

( Original Fiction )

( Fanvideos )

( Real Person Fiction )

( TURN )

Smutswap was really fun this year. There were a lot of good fics! Below are my favorites. All of them are NSFW/Explicit.

My gift:
★The Tremble of Your Body on the Day You Let Me In, Merlin, Merlin/Arthur
Summary: Merlin's puzzled when Arthur moves their sparring session to the privacy of the Darkling Woods. As the afternoon wears on, however, he starts to get an inkling that there's more than just lessons in swordplay on the agenda. So, of course that's just when they're quite rudely interrupted. But Merlin's not going to let bandits or nefarious magic or even a lack of lubrication get in the way of finishing what they started.

This transitions from Arthur being a sly fox to an almost-funny magic curse and I love all of the tropes in it! 13k of smut, how did I get so lucky :D

★As Above, So Below, Original Fiction, OMC/OMC
Summary: Many years ago, the leaders of Kyr and Kault signed a treaty to keep the peace in the peninsulae; their successors, however, did not honour it.

Istvan, the Giant of Kault, invades Kyr with all his forces and takes the king as his prize. Ettian, the newly deposed king, slowly begins to understand precisely why the treaty was broken in the first place.

This one has fascinating world building, a conqueror set on his conquest, and two characters you end up loving for being bad in their own ways.

★a resting place for weary men, Original Fiction, OMC/OMC
Summary: London, 1889. The newly widowed Duke of Carlisle, burdened with the task of managing the steel factories his late husband owned, entertains an unexpected nighttime visitor.

Really well done political kink & power imbalance with two great characters and some super sexy banter and desk sex. And the 1880s outfits and decor are so detailed!

And the fic I wrote:

★When You Treat Me Like That, Teen Wolf, Chris Argent/Lydia Martin
Summary: It’s been at least seven years since she’s seen him, but his hair barely has any grays. He’s wearing brown leather boots, dark wash denim, a deep green henley, and a leather jacket, and he looks damn good.

Between working on her PhD, forming an underground network of banshees and hellhounds, and keeping track of Scott’s pack when he’s busy with vet school or a mission, Lydia’s been busy.

But that doesn’t mean she can’t make up for lost time now.
