Hidden in Plain Sight (FFC day 2)
February Ficlet Challenge, Day 2! I chose the prompt "pretend not to be dating". I was a bit stumped given I'd written for fake dating on the last prompt, but then my crackship of Victor/Yuri K./Yuko showed up to rescue me~ since the minimum word count is 200, though, many of these will be quite short... so i can keep up XD
Set some time after my fic winter covers everything.
***
Yuko understood the need to keep her relationship with Yuri and Victor secret. She wanted it that way herself for a long time; here was something only they could have, for no one else to even perceive.
She knew, too, how vicious the press could be. Hiding their relationship protected all of them, especially her, much as she loathed to admit it. Would there ever be a time when women and feminine people stopped being vilified for endless sins in the media?
Things Yuko, and by extension Yuri, learned the hard way: that she and Yuri couldn’t hold hands in public, and that Victor and she anywhere near each other might as well be radioactive. Luckily, Victor’s long history of dealing with the media as well as fast news cycles meant that media interest died down quicker than a campfire in rain after those first mistakes.
Strangely enough, the three of them together evaded the same scrutiny. Yuri was the most worried about the three of them out and about, but Victor insisted they should live their lives and have actual dates. Of course neither Yuri nor she could deny him.
The first few headlines resulting from a trip to a movie theater had Victor laughing so hard there were tears in his eyes. Victor's smiles and even chuckles were heartstopping on any day, so to see him this full of mirth-- well, Yuko couldn't help clinging to him just a bit, covering his face with kiss when Yuri had had his turn.
Victor's delight was a shield against the worry that wanted to coil in her stomach. And yet that worry didn't stop Yuko from wanting-- wanting to keep concealing their relationship from those that didn't deserve to know on one hand, and on the other, wanting to stand defiantly in front of a sea of reporters and shout on what they were to one another.
"I know, darling," Victor said when she vented about this to them both, not for the first time (for either of them). "I hope we will be able to show our true selves someday soon."
"I don't think..." She struggled, the thought uncomfortable. "You don't mean any less to me-- what we have doesn't mean any less just because we can't be out in the world..."
"It's like cake with extra icing," Yuri said, his smile pure. "Nice to have if we can, but without it's... still nice!"
Yuko laughed, giving him a hug. Of course Yuri knew how to translate what she was trying to say.
Even when, or if, they were able to fully be themselves out in the world, there would still be things that only belonged to them, untouchable by anyone else.

February Ficlet Challenge 2024: 24/7!
Welcome back! After having gotten an amazing 496 fics in 2023, we will be running another ficlet challenge in 2024!
This year's theme, because it is our seventh ficlet challenge and is in the year 2024, will be 24/7. There will be two prompts every day, of which one will have something to do with the concept of time.
The basic outline of the Ficlet Challenge remains the same, though you are welcome to modify any or all of these guidelines to better suit your writing style or your available spoons:
Make a list of 29 (!) pairings for which you want to write, one per day.
Check this Tumblr every day in February for a new set of prompts; you can write for either or both of the provided concepts!
Write a fic of at least 200 words, using the next pairing on your list - for hard mode, write it and post it the same day you see the prompt!
Post the fic to this collection on AO3. It will remain open until the end of the year, so don't worry if you don't finish all your fics in February.
Rejoice!
We hope you will enjoy this year's set of prompts, and look forward to seeing what you write!

times happened when aredhel escaped the confines of eöl's dominion, moving through the briars and the moss-faced oaks, long enough to find a slant in the high canopy.
a small fault, a breach; a fir eaten through with termites, dying slowly as it slowly slouched to death.
it was enough. arien was greedy for even a glimpse - her upturned face, her mouth open hungrily, her arms raised up. only a few instants, of course, before the mists rose; but o, arien did not relent.
arien had gathered the dew of laurelin, and lived as flame beyond smothering; and in times long past had loved the white lady of the noldor many times.
she loved her still. if it was an indulgence, then she was foolish; if it was pity, she made it a gift.
aredhel had lit a great fire in her honour, there where the helcaraxe met the northern lands, loose grass and kindling and her own braids for fuel, and around it danced as once she had danced arm-in-arm with arien, in vána's gardens, and around the two trees of valinor.
she, fingolfin's daughter, had hunted a great elk, and fed its heart to the fire; she had jumped three times over the leaping flames, and laughed, and with her burned palms praised arien's flames and fires, the fire that was arien herself.
how was arien not to love her?
nan elmoth had its own will, and its own master. it pressed her out, again and again.
through black boughs and clinging shadows, she had pressed on. in the dark; in a place shrouded from her gaze, where parasitical mushrooms grew atop one another, and many birds lived and died flying only inside the cage of its tall, tall branches.
arien sought her out in the places where she was not loved. where melian's power lingered still, twisted and altered, streams of sunlight intruded.
arien did not relent. she might never conquer this place, but anar her vessel rose, day after day. its work was the unmaking of darkness, and darkness existed well beyond morgoth's fortress.
and it was well worth the effort of many fruitless dawns, for when she did succeed.
a hundred kisses she pressed to her cheeks, when riding fast as the wind aredhel broke the siege of nan elmoth; a dozen times she burned her cheeks with eager welcome, and laid a warm breeze like a warm palm upon her son's squinting, frowning brow.
they buried aredhel in the sunlight. a high noon, relentless against gondolin's white walls, sinking greedy through ar-feiniel's white tomb of marble. not a thousand dawns could have warmed it through - not all of arien's might have pressed again the warmth upon aredhel's cold mouth.
it was a day of strange flaring lights, like comets in sunlight. the poets claimed, not falsely, that high above, beyond the heavens, arien wept.

The Be My Valentine Challenge 2024
An event from @timecanalwayshealyou
💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌
The Be My Valentine Challenge is a challenge for writers, artists, and just any kind of creator, from the first of February to the 14th!
The idea is to create thirteen smaller, lead-up pieces based on the prompts; for example, ficlets/drabbles/one-shots, couplets, small artworks, individual gifs, et. cetera - and finish the challenge with a larger work; a fic, a full poem, a gifset, a big artwork, whatever sparks for you!
They can be a series or separate, and you're free to change mediums or fandoms for different days. If you'd rather create fourteen small works, or all large ones, or a combination of both, that's completely up to you! Prompts can be used after the event, combined, just do whatever! Only "properly" used prompts will be reblogged to this page, however.
The catch; it's all romance prompts, in the spirit of Valentine's Day and because everyone on this site is single and lonely.
Each day has a quote from an iconic or relevant romance film (The Notebook, Red, White and Royal Blue, The Fault In Our Stars, Pride And Prejudice, etc.), an iconic love song, and a romantic cliché, act, or item.
This account will be reblogging a few works (art, drabbles, ficposts, etc.) from the event tag (bemyvalentine2024) each day. Full tagging rules, the transcribed prompt list, and other event details are under the cut. If you're unsure about anything, send in an ask! Happy Creating!
💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌
There will be an ao3 collection open from the first of February to the fourteenth for submission. Artworks, gifsets, etc. posted to tumblr should be tagged appropriately to be seen as part of the event.
The official spotify playlist for the event can be found here.
💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌
Anyone who completes this event is considered a Valentine, and anyone who participates is a Lover. At the end of the event, a form will be put out, so if you wish to be tagged in a masterpost, keep an eye out! I won't be fact-checking, it's an honour system, so please be honest.
There will be completion and participation badges, too! They're in the works as we speak!
💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌
Tagging System:
event tag - #bemyvalentine2024
prompt tag - #bemyvalentineno1, #bemyvalentineno2, etc.
(Or #bemyvalentinealt1, #bemyvalentinealt2, if you use alt promtps)
the theme or specific prompt/s you chose - #love poems, #quote, etc.
fandom or oc - #stranger things, #original content, etc.
any trigger warnings/nsfw tags if needed
and then your own tags!
Only works tagged correctly will be reblogged to this page, so please take note!
💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌 💌

Choosing Among Truths (FFC, Day 1)
(the prompt: fake dating)
***
Being in a band was a lot to handle without adding the extra layer of playing up to the press. At least, that’s what Neil thought when they first started out, and he’s pretty sure Rob and maybe even Eva would’ve agreed with him. (Roxie took to it like a duck to water, and everyone seemed to gravitate toward her.
Eventually they recognized her burnout signs and realized their assumptions weren’t totally accurate.)
But now? When they have a moderate level of fame and an income source that's relatively stable? Now it's fun to screw with the media.
It started simply enough. Neil got a kick out of the Ho Yay fans thought existed between him and Rob; annoying the man is just a bonus.
He and Eva are literally dating and somehow stay under the radar, so leaning into the "will they won't they" stage flirting is way too easy to pass up.
Roxie... well. Her energy is damn nice to have around and to be the recipient of (but Neil will kill anyone outside of the band crew for knowing this). They're both guitarists so teaming up in charged ways is second nature.
Roxie and Rob? It's not they're fault their fans are trash for height differences.
Eva and Roxie seem to... just fit together. Neil can't explain it otherwise. Eva's penchant for leaning against Roxie while she's singing, or moving to Roxie's solos right near her, is more fuel for the fans.
And of course, Rob and Eva had to start stage flirting too. For maximum press confusion, obviously.
Except that confusion filtered down to the four of them at some point and now, as far as Neil can tell, they're in a perpetual "what are we" square, arrows pointing every which way. But Neil's not gonna be the first to talk about it; he's having fun, and he damn well knows his bandmates enough to know he's not the only one. The elephant (if there even is one) is still a baby, hardly anything to talk over yet.
Until...
"We're all dating each other," Roxie says during a particularly inane interview. "Bandmates and lifemates!"
She adds that irrepressible giggle which indicates to the rest of them, ninety-nine percent of the time, that she isn't serious. But Neil, Eva next to him and Rob on the other side, is thrown into react/fuel the flames mode, so he can't figure it out in the moment.
He'll just conjure up some elephant-proof locks.
