2023 Fic Round-up
This year I wrote seven fics and 108,512 words, which is more than I thought! Here's a round-up
maybe everything that dies someday comes back (The English | Cornelia/Eli | M | 14k)
The post-apocalyptic Mad Max Fury Road zombie AU where David Melmont hires bounty hunter Eli Whipp to track down and retrieve a fugitive called Cornelia Locke.
wins this year's award for: Fic That Fulfils My Childhood Dream (writing a zombie apocalypse)
ain't practical, a world you can't touch (The English | Cornelia/Eli | G | 5k)
The Pushing Daisies AU in which Eli can bring people back to life with his touch, but has tried his best not to until Cornelia.
wins this year's award for: Deepest Cut, Zagged
The Lady With The Recorder Asks The Questions (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Phryne/Jack | T | 6k | WIP)
Modern-day newsroom!AU - Phryne is a star investigative journalist who breaks news as easily as she breaks hearts; Jack is just trying to do his best in the war on error.
wins this year's award for: Fic I Most Regret Not Finishing (I'm sorry!)
constant as a northern star (constantly in the dark) (Ted Lasso | Ted/Trent, past Trent/OFC | T | 10.5k)
The saga of Trent Crimm and his independent ex-wife.
wins this year's award for: Most Surprisingly Popular Fic
all the men and women merely players (Ted Lasso | Ted/Trent, Roy/Keeley/Jamie | T | 50k)
The Station Eleven!AU where the Richmond Players are a travelling Shakespearean company performing in the ruins of a post-pandemic England, and Trent is, despite the apocalypse, still a journalist.
wins this year's awards for: Longest Fic, Fic That Survived The Most Hiatuses, Fic I Am Proudest Of
well-versed in etiquette, extraordinarily nice (Good Omens, Historical RPF | Aziraphale/Crowley | G | 3k)
The Regency heist fic in which Jane Austen, criminal mastermind and aspiring novelist, pulls off the 1810 Clerkenwell Diamond Robbery with the help of a certain demon.
wins this year's award for: Quickest Fic (I wrote it in four days)
speak easy, swing hard (Marvel Cinematic Universe | Steve/Tony | T | 13k)
The 1920s Prohibition era!AU in which Tony runs a nightclub empire, Steve is an aspiring artist and/or questionably undercover agent, Sam and Bucky are bootlegging their way through America and nobody knows what Natasha is up to.
wins this year's award for: Most Historical Research (I watched two seasons of Boardwalk Empire and had to figure out multiple characters' speech patterns, then transpose these to the 1920s. Also I listened to so much vaudeville)
I don't think I will be around as much in 2024, barring unexpected hyperfixations, but I wish you all a glorious year anyway! May your WIPs be finished, your ships prolific and your fandoms full of joy.

I’ve written a fic about how exactly Cornelia learned what tâtačiksta meant and as far as I’m concerned that scene is canon and you’re welcome, but I also think it would be funny if what actually happened was that one day they were riding along and no one was shooting at them for once so they were a bit bored and she asked him to teach her some Pawnee. And Eli was like, “Here are some useful words and phrases, this is the word for ‘horse’, this is how you say ‘take cover’, this is how you say ‘home’, and this is how you say ‘I cherish you’, which I’m telling you for no particular reason, just in case you ever hear that from Some Men who look at your face, it doesn’t concern me at all, anyway here’s how you say ‘this was a terrible idea’.”

That scene where Eli looks up and catches a glimpse of Cornelia cradling the baby in the distance and can’t look away until Cornelia turns, quickly averting his gaze. That scene. It somehow managed to simultaneously kick me in both tits and womb.

Soooo.. Who's gonna produce some Eli x Cornelia ship content? And who's gonna write the deserved ending for them? 💔
I've been scouring every outlet like Ao3 or Tumblr for months for any content please tell me I'm not the only die-hard shipper

It’s been YEARS since I’ve produced any fanart, and it turns out that The English is the property that got my creative juices flowing again. Darn you, Hugo Blick!!
Anyways, I was thinking about how Eli tells Cornelia that the scorpion “brings Spring”, and I just couldn’t get the image of her skirt flowing into a vast sea of prairie blooms out of my head. She may be the reason Eli’s heart is revived, but, sadly, that doesn’t mean that they get the happy ending they deserve.
👉 Prints are now available from my InPrnt shop!

I just realized the reason why Eli x Cornelia feel so beautifully familiar is because I can draw an unreasonable amount of parallels between them and Frank x Karen. And now that my brain has figured that information out I don’t know what to do with it.
