You are now welcome to start working on your creations! Please remember that while you are welcome to work on/finish them early, you may not post until the appropriate day. If you are interested in participating, please read on below the cut for important information and links.
If you are interested in or planning to create some form of fanwork for MistyNat Week, please note the following guidelines on how to participate.
Anyone is eligible to participate in MistyNat Week. You don’t need to have declared participation or registered in any way. You do not need to be on tumblr, and if you post off-site, please just drop a link in the submission or ask box to have your creation featured here.
While the admins go by EST (and posts will be reblogged based on that time zone), you are welcome to begin sharing your creations as soon as the even begins in your local time zone.
When you post your creations, please either mention @mistynatweek and/or use the #mistynatweek tag. We will also attempt to track the main #mistynat tag, but only those creations tagging us directly are guaranteed to be reblogged. If you tagged your creations appropriately and you haven't seen us reblog it within 24 hours, please contact us via ask box to make sure that we've seen it (since tumblr tags/mentions can be so finnicky!).
You do not have to participate in all seven days to participate at all. Everyone is welcome to pick and choose the prompts you like/are inspired by. You are also welcome to create multiple creations for a single prompt, and combine prompts as you see fit.
There are no minimums/maximums for participation.
You may make late creations and post them any time after the day of the prompt has passed (e.g., post a Day 1 creation on day 3, or a day 4 creation three days after the event has ended, etc.).
Creations can be stand-alone, or they can be connected, either by content or by post (e.g., you can make it a multi-chapter fic with each chapter being a prompt, or you can make a post that just collates all content).
We do have an AO3 collection for this event, and you are encouraged to post any applicable creations (fic, art, edits, etc.) to the collection.
There is no content restriction, but please tag your submissions with any necessary warnings/ratings/etc. to keep this a healthy environment for all!
You are welcome to collaborate with others if you so choose.
Creations must be made specifically for this event. You may not add on to a pre-posted fic/art/etc. to fit it to the prompt. However, if there is a project you’ve been working on and it has not been posted prior to October 1st and happens to fit one of the event prompts, you may post that work for this event.
If you would like to participate, but don’t want to make a fanwork or don’t know how, there are plenty of other things you can do to be a part of MistyNat Week! Below are a few suggestions:
Betaing: If you are interested in volunteering to be a beta between now and the end of the event, please let us know and we will add you to our resource list. When you send us a message (ask/IM/submit) please give a little bit of info about what you will/won’t beta, and an estimated turn-around time.
Consultants: If you are interested in helping others either learn a new skill, or possibly serve as a sounding board for ideas, let us know and we will add you to our resource list. When you send us a message (ask/IM/submit) please give a little bit of info about what kinds of stuff you can help with (e.g., photoshop, music suggestions, video editing, etc.).
Creating Tutorials: This event is obviously first and foremost about celebrating MistyNat, but it can also be an awesome catalyst to learn a new skill or pick up some new tips. If you’re feeling uninspired by the prompts but still want to participate, tutorials can be a really helpful thing for those wanting to get their toes wet.
Promotion: It seems a bit obvious, but people need to know the event is happening to be able to participate! Spreading word of the event to other sites or on your own blog will help generate excitement and let newcomers know about MistyNat Week! You can promote this event by reblogging our posts, but you are also strongly encouraged to make your own, if you would like!
Cheerleading: Making fanworks can be hard, and staying motivated is crucial! If you would like to volunteer as a cheerleader please let us know and we will add you to our resource list. When you send us a message, please share any specifications you would like to (e.g., what platforms you use, what kinds of fanworks you'd like to hear about, availability, etc.).
Further Prompting: Maybe you have a plot bunny but no time to write it. Or you see a screencap that is just perfect, but don’t like making graphics. Send them in, and for those creators that are just a bit stuck, maybe your specific prompt will get their juices flowing!
If you still have questions and have not already done so, please check out our FAQ guide, or send us an ask with any questions. Please also join our discord if you have not already done so; it's a great community, and we'll be running some fanwork-creating sprints and events to help us all stay motivated over the next few weeks!
Have fun preparing your creations, and we can’t wait to see them!

hold me like a knife | 3.5k | playlist | prompt: bed sharing
“Can we?” Nat asks, more of a hypothetical question than anything. The fight is slowly draining out of her. She’s tired. More tired than she’s ever been. She’s been running on fumes for the past year. It seems stupid that she only really starts to feel it when faced with the prospect of a good safe rest.
A good safe-ish rest with Misty Quigley.
Misty nods vigorously, “Of course! We can talk everything through tomorrow.” She sticks out a pinky finger toward Nat, “Pinky promise.”
Nat lets it hang in the space between them for a moment, eyeing it warily. How much weight does a pinky promise really hold?
But Misty’s staring at her earnestly, face flushed and smile steadily growing wider as she watches Nat watch her. Her blonde curls tumble over her shoulders and Nat is endeared. Fuck.
The night after being rescued, the surviving Yellowjackets stay overnight in a motel. Nat finds herself sharing a bed with Misty.
