Challenge #11

In your own space, create a fanwork.

Okay I'm going to cheat a little bit here, and instead of creating a new one from scratch I'm going to share some fanworks that I recently created and where just revealed for fandomtrees.

Moodboards:

Doctor Who - Doctor & Donna Moodboard:



Also here on tumblr.

Batman Comics - Duke Thomas & Jason Todd Moodboard:



Also here on tumblr.

I have one more moodboard I made for fandomtrees, but I haven't heard back from the giftee yet, so I don't want to share it until they've had a chance to see it first.

Fanfic:

Good Fashion
Fandom: Loki TV series
Pairing: Loki/Mobius
Word Count: 123 words
Summary: Loki and Mobius discuss 16th century fashion.

Doctor Dancing
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: Ninth Doctor/Jack Harkness
Word Count: 112 words
Summary: The Ninth Doctor and Jack at a party together.

Illuminating, My Sweet
Fandom: Good Omens
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley
Word Count: 1035 words
Summary: Crowley tries to get a special book for Aziraphale, things don't go as planned.

These are mostly just ficlets and one-shots, but I still enjoyed creating them.

I also made a bunch of icons, but I am so behind on sharing those, hopefully someday I will get around to posting an icon dump.

Anyways, I hope you liked these and you have a good day.

Prompt 2: Rose Quartz
Soft pink in color, Rose Quartz has been a popular stone since as far back as 800-600 BCE. Today, as in the past, it’s most associated with love, compassion, and healing in all its forms both towards oneself and others. In the Greek myths it’s mentioned at least twice: once where Eros is said to have brought it to man to inspire love, and again in the story of Aphrodite and Adonis where it came to represent love triumphant. It’s a stone of beauty and sentiment and will likely be favored for years to come.

First off, because Our Flag Means Death is constantly on my mind lately, enjoy this great fanvid set to Lil Nas X's version of Jolene:



Secondly, I don't why, but I read the prompt and my first thought was "ah yes hurt/comfort", brains are weird sometimes. Anyways, here are some hurt/comfort recs for your enjoyment:

Luck of the Devil by ItsClydeBitches
Word Count: 6380 words
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Ed/Izzy/Stede
Summary: I'm dying, Izzy thought with sudden, brutal clarity. Right on the heels of that came: Finally.
And then: Edward.
Reccer's note: Izzy drowns and almost dies.  Izzy gets whumped quite a bit in this one, but he has his captains to look after him.

And We Do It All Again by memoeries_are_all_we_have
Word Count: 10802 words
Fandom: Star Trek TOS
Rating: T
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Kirk/Spock/McCoy
Summary: Jim has two big problems right now. The first is that he is hopelessly in love with his First Officer and his Chief Medical Officer, and neither seems to return his feelings. The second is that he's stuck in a time loop where his ship is destroyed and his crew killed, over and over again.
Things can never be simple for James T. Kirk, can they?
Reccer's note: A Classic sci-fi premise, with poor Jim Kirk stuck in a time loop by himself where he keeps trying to save the Enterprise from destruction. This fic is so good, but also heart-breaking at times.  It is very focused on Kirk's relationship with Spock and McCoy, and just when it seems that maybe the triad are going to be able to figure things out Kirk has to go through it all again.  (Warning: there is a suicide attempt in the story) 

Last Day on Earth by candle_beck
Word Count: 10802 words
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: E
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Dean/Sam
Summary: A list of things to do if you only have one day to live, presented in inconvenient non-list form.
Reccer's note: Sam comes in contact with something that should kill him within 24 hours.  This is a classic in SPN fandom for a reason.  The writer captures Dean's POV and his feelings about Sam so beautifully, and Sam's heartbreaking acceptance of his fate and him trying to experience the things he loves on his last day is so Sam.

Blameless by PetrichorPerfume
Word Count: 147 words
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: G
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Michael/Adam
Summary: Adam doesn’t blame Dean for leaving him at Michael’s mercy. He doesn’t blame Michael for ripping him from Paradise or for trapping him in the deepest, darkest part of Hell for the rest of eternity. He doesn’t blame Sam for escaping, or Death for leaving him behind. He doesn’t even blame Lucifer for trying to start the Apocalypse.
Reccer's note: Do you want a tiny little fic about Adam in the cage that will hit you in the feels then walk away? Then here you go.

Against the Bitter Cold by EdosianOrchids901
Word Count: 1318 words
Fandom: Good Omens
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: A pointless temptation assignment leaves Crowley stranded in the middle of a snowstorm. By the time he stumbles back to the inn, he’s so cold and disoriented that he can’t even remember why he was outside. Aziraphale is ready to lend a helping hand.
Reccer's note: In my humble opinion EdosianOrchids901 is one of the best hurt/comfort authors for this pairing.  In this one Crowley gets trapped in the cold, which is not good for a being that is part snake.  Crowley is very disoriented and confused in this, and Aziraphale cares for him.

As a side note, if you want more of my recs for Ineffable Husbands check out my rec list

Lastly, a self rec:

Arrow Pierced Flesh
Word Count: 1004 words
Fandom: Hawkeye (TV Series)
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Kate & Clint
Summary: Kate is injured and alone on a city rooftop.
Reccer's note: This was one of the fics I wrote for this year's Hurt/Comfort exchange.

Prompt 6: Amphitrite

Amphitrite is goddess of the sea, so here a few water related recs. First fanvid is a multifandom mermaid vid:



Second fanvid is also multifandom, it is not as obviously related as the first one, but it does have some water imagery (Note: warning for images of blood and gun violence):



The last vid really isn't water related in any way except for the song, but is awesome. I think it is kind of famous in, and out of, Marvel fandom. The vidder does an amazing job timing the clips to the music:



A couple of fic recs:
Sliver and Cold by Couyfish and Threshie
Fandom: Supernatural
Word Count: 33,274 words
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Sam/Cas, Dean & Sam
Summary: When a cursed necklace turns Sam into a merman with an alluring effect on people, Dean and Cas must find a way to cure him. Dean seems immune to Sam's powers, but Cas is another story.
Reccer's Note: This fic is sweet and hilarious, and little scary in some parts. Sam gets turned into a merman and Cas falls under his siren's call, and poor Dean is just trying to figure out some way for him to change Sam back, while at the same time trying to thwart Sam and Cas' many attempts to runoff to the sea together!

returning home by salzrand
Fandom: Game of Thrones
Word Count: Fancomic!
Rating: G
Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence
Relationships: Jorah/Dany
Summary: A lonely fisherman searching for home and finding it in the sea.
Reccer's Note: A lovely AU fancomic, where Jorah is a lonely fisherman who meets Mermaid!Daenerys. It is very sweet, and the artist is very talented, her style reminds me very much of old fairy tales. If you get a chance check out some her other Jorleesi fanart

Only one self rec today, because I don't write a lot of fic related to water:

Waterfall
Fandom: The 100
Word Count: 646 words
Rating: E
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Abby/Kane
Summary: Abby and Marcus enjoy a little alone time in a secluded spot.
Reccer's Note: This is just basically smut. I wrote this for an exchange, smut is not really my forte, but I do try on occasion.

Prompt 1: Hades

The first day's prompt is Hades. so I have taken this as an opportunity to rec some stuff related to some of my favourite demon or hell adjacent characters.

Crowley (Good Omens):



A couple of my fave Crowley/Aziraphale fics:
I Want To See You (In the Dark) by ineffablebadger and QuestionableGeek
Word Count: 6050 words
Rating: E
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: When it came down to it, Aziraphale had always loved Crowley. He had taken comfort in the fact that he is an angel and is supposed to love all of Her creations. The thought that he could love Crowley in a more specific way was something he had considered before but had kept in the far reaches of his mind like a shameful secret. As the thought began to break free, the feeling of love overwhelmed him in a not dissimilar way to the flames overwhelming the church. He tried not to consider the meaning of a church of the Lord burning to ash before his eyes as he realised that he is in love with a demon .
Aziraphale and Crowley steal a night in the darkness hoping that they will remain unseen together in the blackout.
Reccer's Note: This fic ponders what if Aziraphale and Crowley had gotten together after the 1941 bombing? The authors call this porn with feelings, the sex is very well written, and the authors do an amazing job of conveying what it is like for these characters to be sharing these intimate moments in almost complete darkness. However, what really sells this fic is the feelings! There is self doubt, and hesitation, and the two of them are so tender and caring with each other, and I loved the ending.

You Can Cut My Hair But You'll Never Cut My Comedically Long Fanfic Titles!!! by indieninja92
Word Count: 29,886 words
Rating: E
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: Aziraphale is a mobile hairdresser. Crowley is the rudest customer he's ever had. They will simply never, ever, ever see eye to eye, and that's that on that.
Reccer's Note: I read this one recently. I usually don't go for human AUs, but the author does a great job with voices in this one. The scenario is humourous, plus there are a couple of cameos from other characters in the series.

And a self rec:
Crepes
Word Count: 303 words
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: Crowley was watching Aziraphale eat crepes.
Reccer's Note: A little ficlet I wrote where Crowley enjoys watching Aziraphale eat crepes

Crowley (Supernatural):



(Second vid is also great but ends with the death scene if you want to avoid that)


Self recs:
An Awkward Conversation with Crowley
Word Count: 245 words
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Sam/Rowena (implied)
Summary: “She's a little old for you, isn't she, Moose?”
Crowley finds out that Sam and his mother are a couple.
Reccer's Note: This was the first fic I ever wrote featuring Crowley. Which is Crowley's reaction to finding out that Sam and Rowena are an item.

Hearts in The Empty
Word Count: 1461 words
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Crowley & Death, Balthazar & Crowley, Crowley & Billie
Summary: The angels were foolish, if the archangels actually knew how to leave this place they would have clearly done it by now. The demons gathered in tiny clusters, they did not easily trust their former leaders, or each other, however in the distance a small group was forming around Lucifer, Crowley thought it was best to avoid that lot. No, in his opinion they were all barking up the wrong trees, what he needed was someone with a little more ompf.
Crowley wakes up in The Empty.
Reccer's Note: Wrote this one recently for the SPN Spring Exchange. Crowley wakes up in The Empty, after Jack's big boom, and this somehow leads to him playing cards with two incarnations of death and an angel.

Rowena (Supernatural):



Self Recs:
Midlife Magic
Word Count: 2149 words
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Rowena/Sam
Summary: “I see more grey at the temples” she observed, Sam laughed.
“Does it make me look old?”
“No, distinguished” she reassured him. Sam had just turned fifty this past spring, he tried not to let the grey hair bother him.
A middle aged Sam contacts Rowena and asks her to help him learn more complicated magic.
Reccer's Note: I wrote this one before the series finale, so I pictured the ending differently, but this is an older post-canon Sam seeking out our Queen of Hell to improve his magical skills.

My Rowena vid

Orange makes me think of Autumn, pumpkins, crisp breeze, dancing leaves.



Firstly, a little self promotion, I moderate a subbreddit, r/autumnlove, which is basically just me and a few other discerning individuals sharing pictures and gifs of autumn scenery, and other autumn related things, that we find on the interwebs. It is pretty inactive right now, but we usually start going again in August, when everyone is starting to crave the feeling of fall.

Also, for the last two years I have moderated the Jopper Autumn Challenge, Jopper, if you don't know, is the smush name for the pairing of Joyce Byers/Jim Hopper from Stranger Things. You can find the A03 collection here, which has a few of my works, but more importantly, great fics by other really talented Jopper fans, or you can visit the tumblr blog where you can also find lovely graphics and gif sets, I made the above moodboard for the challenge. Not everything is autumn themed, but the majority of it is. So, if you like Jopper and Stranger Things maybe check it out.

My song rec for today is "Saturn" by Sleeping At Last. I don't know how to describe it, but it's beautiful and melodic, and I think, gives the impression of someone looking back at their life.



I discovered this song from a Kabby (Abby/Kane, The 100) fan vid, it introduced me to this song and the artist. I may have recced this vid before, sorry if I have, but I think it is one of the best Kabby vids ever. It has clips from seasons 1-4, so no season 6 unpleasantness.

Most of these stories were actually written in March for exchanges that revealed in April. I did do some writing this month, one story that I completed for an exchange in May, and a RoLo one shot that is in rough draft, and that I will hopefully get posted soon.

Fandom: Star Trek: VOY
Characters/Pairings: The Doctor & Kes
Rating: G
Length: 100 words
Link: Stimulants (A03)
Summary: "I don't understand the Captain's obsession with coffee"
Notes: Written for the Multifandom Drabble exchange.  It is fun to write the doctor, his humour can be hard to write, but my recipient said the he sounded in character, so that was nice to hear  

Fandom: FTWD
Characters/Pairings: Madison Clark/Troy Otto
Rating: M
Length: 1007 words
Link: Banishment (A03)
Summary: "Where do they think you go?" Troy repeated "Nick, Alicia, ... Jake, where do they think you're disappearing to all the time?"
"They think I'm going on runs, and I am, I just stop here first."
Notes: Written for the Age Gap exchange. Man it was so nice writing for this pairing again, my problematic faves.  My giftee was another of the writers that frequently writes for this pairing, I should have known, because the fandom for this rare pairing is tiny.

Fandom: Hawkeye Comics
Characters/Pairings: Clint Barton/Kate Bishop
Rating: T
Length: 1022 words
Link: Late Nights and Early Mornings (A03)
Summary: “What I said to Eden, about losing someone I loved, that was true.”
“I figured it was.”
Notes: Written as a pitch hit for the Age Gap exchange.  I have been slowly working my way through the Hawkeye comics, and loving them, so this was my first attempt at a fic for this pairing.  I love Clint and Kate, and may definitely try writing for them again some time

I thought I'd share what I have written in the past month. I wrote quite a few drabbles for various comment fests and kink memes, but also a couple of longer pieces as well.
