tangeriner: Eroica in the background, with a surplus of curly blond hair; Klaus in the foreground, hands folded together (from eroica with love: klaus and dorian)
I have legit been offering to write From Eroica with Love for [community profile] yuletide for years, and I've just never matched on it... UNTIL THIS YEAR. And then one of the prompts was bodyswap! I can't resist a classic trope. It was like destiny. I even have a Klaus and Dorian icon to use!

So I got it in my head I was going to do Marvel Reverse Big Bang, even full well knowing that the chances of me being able to claim any of the art as an X-Men Comics writer was slim to none. However, there turned out to be a bunch of Scott/Logan pieces in there, including one from the Age of Apocalypse, which remains one of my favourite X-Men storylines. And I am incredibly long-haired motivated, so writing Scogan suddenly seemed possible. And then I was fast enough to get my first choice, a sketch which eventually became this beautiful piece (which is absolutely NSFW). And hey, I even got to use the Enemies to Lovers tag, which is a rare treat for me.

Summary: It's the Age of Apocalypse. Prelate Summers has grown increasingly uncomfortable with his role in Apocalypse's brutal regime. A chance encounter on a stormy night with Weapon X leads to the unexpected, but Scott has to decide just how far he's willing to take things in this end-time world.
tangeriner: Shatterstar places one hand on Rictor's face and the other over his wrist, tenderly (ricstar: tenderness)
Getting caught up on stories I've written! This is second fic for Marvel Big Bang. I was lucky enough to have the same artist, Blithefool, for both stories -- the first one, we were a tandem, and then the second one, she claimed as a surprise. Both pieces of art are absolutely gorgeous (and both somewhat nsfw-ish so beware work clicks).

Anyway, the story, which had the working title Sentient Handcuffs and was almost named that until this even more questionable title popped into my head:

Summary: After a mission goes awry, Rictor and Shatterstar find themselves bound together by an innocuous-looking vine that is more dangerous than it initially seems. As the X-Men work to solve the mystery before time runs out, Rictor and Shatterstar must face the reality of their situation, together as one.

Or, Rictor and Shatterstar are handcuffed together with predictable results.

tangeriner: Mugen in the background, with hands behind his head, and Jin in the foreground, very serious (samurai champloo: mugen and jin)
The [community profile] raremaleslashex stories went live last Monday and author reveals were today.

I received a lovely Mugen/Jin story:

Additional Tags: Anal Sex, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Mutual Pining, Requited Affection, Blood, Canon-Typical Violence, Bathing, Comfort Sex, Rough Sex, Multiple Orgasms, Multiple Sex Positions
Summary: An ambush leaves Jin more distressed and affected than usual. At least Mugen is there to comfort him, in his own way.

As an aside, this might the first time I've ever (correctly) guessed my author. I really need to re-watch this series. It's soooooooo good.

And then I wrote:

Fandom: In the Flesh (TV)
Rating: Mature

Summary: Kieren and Gary, on the run. When PDS sufferers target Kieren in an attempt to bring about the Second Rising, Gary does his best to make sure that doesn't happen.

I had been meaning to re-watch In the Flesh because it is completely amazing, and then this fandom showed up in the tagset, and yes. This makes the third media fandom I've ever written for. Exciting. Also, if you have never seen this show, it's great, I love it so much.

And then I picked up this pinch hit after assignments went out:

The Michigan Road Trip (3924 words) by Tangerine

Additional Tags: Road Trips, Hurt/Comfort, Pining, Post-Canon, Shatterstar (2018) - Freeform, Angst with a Happy Ending
Summary: In the aftermath of the events on Horus IV, Shatterstar and Rictor road trip to Michigan.

Because I took one look at the prompts and my heart sang for a road trip fic. Not entirely coincidentally, the word count for this story is the exact same as the world count for my original assignment. It just worked out that both drafts were within 5 words of each other.

And then I picked up this pinch hit after the default deadline:

I had been re-reading early X-Factor (as one does) when this pinch hit came through. And I just... got the idea, and then I ran with it because by that point I had already written 28k words in a week and 4k more just felt like a natural extension. Also, the word count is fun.

It's been a crazy two weeks, so I am a little behind on reveals, but I finally lived the dream and became the first person to post a story for a pairing on AO3. Wooohoo. Simon may never be seen again in the books, but I, for one, will never forget that time Pyro and Iceman canonically hooked up at Rogue and Gambit's wedding! I was soooooooo happy to receive this as my assignment!

This was my first year doing it, and I really loved it!

I also managed to get two ficlets done in the end, despite my time mismanagement skills.

In other news, local convention was kinda lousy this year. The most interesting one I went to was one entirely in French, which... is not my strong suit, but I think I got most of it? Like the gist anyway? It was a two-hour panel on Japanese humour, and I very much appreciated the accompanying PowerPoint. I did, however, buy some bunny earrings that are mega cute. So all's well that ends well, I guess.

Because fandom is small, the person I wrote for in Yuletide (and who I wrote a pinch hit for in XXX) was the same person who wrote Family You Have Yet To Come To Know for me in XXX.

Probably somewhat related, my mutant-loving feels are at maximum right now. I love them all. ♥

My [community profile] yuletide story, my [community profile] xxx_change story and my pinch hit are all polished and ready to go. I had plans to write a few treats, but alas, it didn't happen this year. I'm looking forward to both collections going live. So much fic to read &hearts.&hearts.

I also signed up for [community profile] fandom_stocking so I plan on writing some things for that. My stocking is here.

Then I have to start the research for my Marvel Trumps Hate auction story. I have the plot ready to go, but it's a historical AU, so I have some non-fiction reading in my future.

I did manage to stick to my posting schedule and get my incubus-soulmates-college AU (that is also a holiday story) fully posted.

Summary: In his senior year of undergrad, Julio Richter just wants to make it through college, so he can live in a nice shack somewhere in the middle of nowhere, alone and away from everyone and their functioning soul-marks. But then he meets Shatterstar, a deeply reluctant incubus, and all his best laid plans crumble to dust.

Still sick with bronchitis. This is brutal. I've only started sleeping through the night again in the last few days. My bed is my new BFF.

Things I have watched: Lady Bird and Shadowhunters Season 3. Oh, and my historically terrible hockey team... but at least they score a lot? The kids are okay? They either win or lose 7-5.

This weekend, I really have to get serious about both my [community profile] yuletide story and my [community profile] xxx_change story. My brain has the plots -- more or less -- so I just have to convince my fingers to cooperate. I have a Christmas party to go to, but otherwise... that's my entire weekend.

Escapade plans are now firm. The hotel room has been booked. Fun!

And, finally, I have started posting my demon-college-soulmates AU. It's done, but I'm sort of reluctant to drop another big story (38k) on people so soon after my big bang, so I'm posting over the next month. I anguished over the rating -- explicit seems overkill, but mature is probably not enough -- so I guess... explicit.

[personal profile] nafs did me a massive favour when my original beta-related plans didn't work out (thank you again so much), so that was a little stressful, but at least now we have a bunch of typos to laugh about together (fingers and brain, seriously, what is up with you two).

Summary: At the request of Kitty Pryde, Rictor and Shatterstar go undercover as a married couple to investigate a possible ghost on a gay cruise. Half mission, half vacation, Rictor and Shatterstar work towards solving the mystery while also thoroughly enjoying all the amenities the ship has to offer.

This is basically the most self-indulgent thing I have ever written. No lies. I had doubts at the beginning that I could write such a long story with an established relationship, that actually required a plot (ehhhh more or less), but... I just really like cruise ships for some reason, guys, I don't know.

And now... I can finally see Venom. My body is ready.

[community profile] fandom5k stories went live! [archiveofourown.org profile] thinlizzy2 wrote the lovely Where the Heart is for me. Iloveitsomuch!

During [community profile] fandom5k sign ups, I read every request and quickly realized I was going to match on absolutely nothing. So it was time to broaden my horizons! Be brave! So, with some swagger in my step, I offered two TV fandoms (with moving people! played by actors!). Despite being in fandom for decades, I've only written in one other TV fandom (Dead Zone, I still love you). And hey, it was a good thing I did, because did you know Star Trek: Discovery did NOT end on a cliffhanger in episode 13? I didn't. So, you know, I actually finished the show, and then wrote a story for [personal profile] damkianna. What a fun challenge [community profile] fandom5k was!

The problem with writing for story exchanges is I can't talked about it! TRUST ME. I am loving the fandom and having such a good time reviewing it and SOME DAY I will squee as loudly as I can, but until then, well. [community profile] raremaleslashex seems to be coming along quite nicely.

My hockey team is an utter and total shit show, and I honestly don't know what to do. I may gripe about Marvel Comics and how they hate me specifically, but at least the things that I love so much -- the actual books, the characters, the ideas -- are ultimately just lines and words on a page.

In need of some fuzz and warm feelings in my fannish life, I blew the dust off a WIP from 2012 and actually finished the thing.

THE WASHINGTON CAPITALS WON THE STANLEY CUP!! I remarked to [personal profile] nafs that this is the first time a team I have actually wanted to win the cup won it, and that it feels AMAZING. I was committed to the reverse-jinx, so I didn't enjoy the process as much as I could have, BUT OVI! BACKY! There is no purer love on this planet than the love between Ovechkin and Backstrom imo.

And now for something completely different ... reaction to the New Mutants Dead Souls 4 preview ... )

I am dedicating this weekend to 1) catching up with the My Hero Academia manga (done -- I read 80 chapters last night) 2) reviewing the canon for my [community profile] raremaleslashex story (which I am honestly delighted to write) and 3) re-reading the Phoenix Saga and the Dark Phoenix Saga because I said I would do the blurb for book-club this week on the Earth 616 discord (a classic!).

And also, I wrote a thing, for a friend, who really got me thinking about demon!Ric (who does not, for the record, exist, but maybe should? would be so handsome? would be totally great?).

Since it is my birthday week, I am on vacation and being surprisingly productive (as far as these things go). My goals were basically: get story proofread and posted (done -- though apparently I missed some typos, whoops) and read my 24 graphic novel backlog (done -- amazingly).

In the last two days, I've read (in no particular order and mostly for my record):
  • New Avengers - A Perfect World, Everything Dies, Infinity and Other Worlds
  • Avengers - Times Runs Out Volume 1, 2, 3 and 4, Adapt or Die, Infinity, Prelude to Infinity, The Last White Event and Avengers World
  • Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka, Vol. 1

Today, my dental hygienist bragged about her new sonic tooth cleaner. Twelve hours later, I am still in pain.

At least my teeth are clean?

Okay, time to shift focus to my [community profile] fandom5k story. ::pumped::

I honestly didn't think I could do it -- I got the majority of my popslash added to AO3. It took me five hours to add The Book of Secrets alone. There a few stories I didn't add -- two because they were co-written with other people, one because it has Nick Carter, one because (in my head) it's the story that started me on the path of pulling away from that fandom. I'm also missing one series, which I will add someday, but I need to be in the right headspace to re-read it before posting.

Ignoring the stories I didn't add, I wrote 854,020+ words in popslash and 76+ stories. When that fandom was good to me, it was really really good. BoS alone clocked in at 143,732 words. Amazing. I had no idea.

I also went to see A Quiet Place ... )

Got my assignment for [community profile] fandom5k. Okay, self, you can do this. My request went out for a pinch hit, because I couldn't be matched, but it's been claimed. Me and my tiny fandoms/OTPs.
