Here's a link to their collection on AO3 🎃 Fics themed around Halloween and Autumn/Fall vibes 🍂:

but i can count on you to tell me the truth when (i’ve) been drinking and you’re wearing a mask by @anincompletelist

mistaken identities and halloween kisses

Halloween Calamity by @itsthemxze

Alex and Henry throw a Halloween party, but Alex has some strong opinions about Henry’s costume

Leave him Hen, he's a spice hater by greenandmoss

Alex learns to love the Spice Girls because of Henry's thighs

Lost and Found by milowren 

Alex and Henry are coworkers, Henry has a crush, and they end up at a haunted corn maze together a few nights before Halloween. Shenanigans ensue! Plus many horror movie references.

love bites by @coffeecatsme

Alex leaves love bites on Henry's neck right before a public Halloween party. The solution? Vampire costume.

stars by the pocketful by weather_stained

Though Henry opts out of June's Halloween party, Alex makes sure he doesn't spend the holiday alone.

The Last Day of October by ifigo

A reflection on Henry’s relationship with October 31st over the years

This Is Halloween by @bibliothesoph

Their first Halloween in the brownstone goes...not according to plan

Trick or Kiss by @hillerskas

Alex is throwing the Halloween party of the year and can't quite figure out why the Prince of England is haunting his every thought.

Where There Are Octobers by @iboatedhere 

31 Days of October themed FirstPrince prompts

For more spooky vibes! Fics featuring ghosts/vampires/demons/other supernatural & mythical beings etc 👻🧛🏻:

A Love That Haunts the Land by @14carrotghoul (necromancy & other supernatural things) 

Falling in love is the easy part. The supernatural consequences - not so much.

a slightly hysterical vampire fantasy moment by @cinnamoncoffees (vampires)

Alex doesn’t really think Henry is a vampire. He’s just his roommate. Because vampires aren’t real… right?

A Taste of You by @everwitch-magiks (vampires & other supernatural beings)

When Henry lets Alex take him home, he thinks he’s the only one who’s about to reveal his true nature. He’s wrong.

Ghosted by @tintagel-or-cockleshells (ghosts)

the fic where people are ghosts until they're not, dead until proven otherwise, and we take bets on how thin the veil is between the living and the dead.

Got a ticket for two by @clottedcreamfudge (demons)

Henry likes his apartment - he has done since the day he moved in a year ago. His flatmates themselves? Well, they're a little… strange.

(lord, save me) my drug is my baby by @coffeecatsme (vampires)

5 times Alex learns something new about Henry and 1 time Henry learns something new about Alex.

matchmaking from beyond the grave: a guide by arthur fox by @softest-cinnamon-roll (ghosts)

Alex can see the dead. Enter Arthur Fox who really thinks Alex should meet his son, Henry.

Out For A Bite by @everwitch-magiks (vampires)

He's heard whispers of this place, and more importantly of its patrons. He thinks he knows what this man is.

the beagle, the ghost and the wardrobe by @dumbpeachjuice (ghosts)

Henry’s new flat comes with one unexpected feature: it’s already inhabited. But not by a human. By a ghost.

☆  Silver Lining [Teen and Up Audiences - 5,207 w] by flemoncake @go-catch-a-chickn

Summary: When Newt is slowly losing sanity in the Last City and begs Thomas to leave him behind, Thomas fights with everything he has to remind Newt on a promise he made to Thomas a long time ago. Thomas makes a promise to himself as well. Or: The one time Newt lets Thomas know that he won’t let him give up & the one time Thomas tells Newt he won’t let him give up either.

☆ Oblivious [General Audience - 1,553 w]  by Itsthemaze @itsthemxze

Summary: I used a previous prompt and I choseeeee: 34. Everyone knows that Newt has been in love with Thomas for years, all but Thomas himself. Fed up with their constant drama, Gally decides he had enough and comes up with a plan to get them together. How? By making Thomas so jealous he will be spitting fire. Hope you enjoy!! Newtmas love ❤️❤️✨✨

☆ I now know my name [General Audience -  3,634 w] by justtorzaplease @justtorzaplease

Summary: Thomas doesn’t like nicknames. He only just got his name, and he’s not too willing to give it up that quickly.

OR: All the times someone has tried to give Thomas a nickname and he shut them down + the 1 time he let Newt call him something else

And for this edition it's all! Thank you all for participating.

The collection will remain open for post-fest submissions so if you have missed the deadline and want to post your fic to the collection go ahead! You won't go through an anonymous phase and please contact us here on tumblr or by email to notify us of your submission.

[thominho-incorrectquotes]

fave [thominho] fics?

I've been wanting to make a list of all my favourite Thominho fanfics for a while now, but I never had the time or the energy to do it yet.

But for now, here are some recent thominho fanfics that are just the best thing ever:

keep it simple, stupid by @nachoupala

Just one of the most amazing fanfic I've ever read. Any fic from Lena is a must read tbh.

Wash my grief away by @itsthemxze

A short fic, but full of emotions. A must read.

i thought we had no chance (and that's romance) by @manako-no-yami

Biased here, because it was gifted to me during the secret santa event, but this fic is brilliant and I love it so much.

You're just like magic by @dunne-ias

Ias is a wonderful writer and this fic is so magical and unique, I love it a lot.

As Long as I Watch over You by @its-tea-time-darling

Again, biased here because Tea is a really good friend and I love her very much, but I often go read this fic again and again because it has such a unique vibe to it that I just love. Tea don't write a lot for Thominho, but when she does, it's amazing.

Just a simple list really, but I might make a bigger one because there's so much good Thominho fanfic out there.

Thank you!

Title: Staying Alive

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Warnings: Non-Consensual Drug Use

Wordcount: 3450

Summary:  No, no, no, no, this shouldn't be happening, Thomas thought, panicked, his breathing was accelerating as his vision slowly blurred and his senses turned off. Janson wasn't supposed to find out about the device, but he did, and now Thomas feared what would happen to him. In those few minutes of semi-consciousness, Thomas thought of Newt and begged for forgiveness, feeling his face get wet from what he thought was tears and his body being lifted from the chair, but he had no strength to struggle this time. "No..." Whispered Thomas, his eyes closing against his will "No, please..." "Don't worry Thomas" A voice spoke, and it seemed that Thomas was underwater, he could barely understand the distorted voice "When you wake up, the world will be another" Or Janson finds out about the device and Thomas' plan is ruined. Meanwhile, Newt is alive.

New Years Ask Game for fic writers

(Please do not reblog, create your own post! Thanks!)

To close out 2023…

1) what fic did you have the most fun writing this year and why? Or, if you can’t decide, what was most fun about writing this year for you?

2) what’s a scene/story that you finished and felt “wow, I really accomplished that, that actually went so well”?

3) What helped provide the most inspiration for stories, if anything? Was it poetry? A song on repeat? A gorgeous gifset? A walk outside? A book you read that made you want to change everything? Whatever it was! Tell all.

4) What is something you want to share about what you’ve written this year? A particular line, a comment that made you feel really good, a scene that was difficult to write — you get to choose! What do you wish someone would ask you about when it comes to what you’ve written?

And to start off 2024…

1) do you have any writing/creation goals for the year? What are they?

2) is there a fic or idea that you’re really excited to be able to continue to work on in the new year (shout out to my fellow fic writing folks who take forever to finish wips, sometimes it’s nice to be able to continue working on something even if you wish you’d gotten it done! Now you get even MORE time with it!)

3) What’s something new in your writing you want to try/are going to try? A different writing style? Different fandom? Darker works? Fluffier? Longer or shorter?

4) what’s something you love about your own writing that you will continue to appreciate in the new year?

Hope everyone’s having a lovely kick off to 2024 — think it’s gonna be a good year ❤️

Tagging: @its-tea-time-darling , @callivich , @go-catch-a-chickn , @itsthemxze , @mybrainismelted , @jrooc , @blue-summers , @pathsofoak , @michellemisfit , @mmmichyyy , @sampharos , and anyone else who would like to participate!
