Lust and Love
Summary: Plum and Blue get to spend some intimate time together for the first time in a few weeks. Both of them are very excited about it. (PWP)
Warnings: None, this is just some sweet lovemaking
Thank you to @nugget4550 for beta reading.

Plum adjusted the strap of his lingerie, pulling it slightly to the side so it laid across his shoulder at a better angle. Pink had headed out almost an hour ago, and Plum was only expecting one guest. He had been waiting all week, and he couldn’t wait to see his secret bonefriend. During their sexting last night, Plum had promised Blue something delicious would be waiting for him when he arrived.
He grinned as he heard a knock on the door, adjusting his position one more time before calling out. While he could go open the door as he was, he knew his partner preferred to walk in and discover him like this more.
“Come in!” Plum yelled, stifling a snicker as he heard the door hinges squeal as it was pushed open.  “Hey, careful. You’re going to break that.”
Blue slammed the door shut behind him, and stopped as he reached the threshold of the living room. He started with wide eyes, his face flushing with magic. Plum just smiled, arching his back a bit so the tiny vest rode up and exposed more of his ribcage.
“I forgot what I was going to say.” Blue turned around, covering his face with one hand. After about a minute, he turned around and sheepishly grinned at Plum. “Uh… I still can’t remember. Sorry, I missed you.”
“I missed you too, Ber.” Plum opened his arms, beckoning for Blue to come closer.
Blue crossed the room in a few strides, and hopped up on the couch in between Plum’s legs. The plastic sheet underneath Plum squeaked a bit as he settled into place, and Plum glanced down to make sure it hadn’t ridden up. He and Pink had set a few rules in the house quite a while ago, including that nowhere but the kitchen table was technically off-limits, but that you had to clean everything up. Plum was planning to get fucked so hard he couldn’t walk, let alone try to get magic stains out of the upholstery.
It was nice to have so many universes to explore, but there were a few drawbacks. Thanks to an abundance of Gyftmas parties—because of course, Blue was too kind to refuse a single invitation—they hadn’t gotten to hook up in almost two weeks. While Plum didn’t mind a little risk, Blue had made it clear he didn’t want to get caught with his pants down, and Plum could respect that. Still, he couldn’t help his own needs. His magic was already threatening to form just from feeling Blue’s body hovering over his.
“You’re so pretty.” Blue gently pressed his teeth against Plum’s forehead.
Plum hadn’t quite been expecting that reaction, but after a few seconds, he smiled. Blue was a sweetheart; that was one of the many things Plum loved about him. Plum grabbed Blue’s skull, pulling him back down for a proper kiss. Blue’s hands moved to Plum’s hips as they kissed, but he didn’t move anywhere too sensitive. He just held Plum, lightly rubbing circles over the bones with his thumbs.
To Plum’s embarrassment, it was still enough to make his magic take shape.
“Let me take care of you first please?” Blue asked, his eyelights shining as he looked pleadingly at Plum. “I just want to make you feel good right now.”
Of course, there was no way Plum would say no to that. In less than a minute, he was lying on his back on the sheet, with his underwear pushed just far enough to the side to expose the front of his pelvis. Blue knelt down on the floor in front of the couch, and Plum had given him a pillow to cushion his knees.
Blue held Plum’s hips down as he leaned in, letting Plum’s etco-dick brush against his face. He looked up at Plum, his eyelights flickering into little hearts.
“Please.” Plum put one hand on the back of Blue’s skull, shakily caressing it. He didn’t mind submitting to Blue, but he wished his partner wouldn’t tease him so much sometimes.
Blue giggled and finally opened his mouth, dragging his tongue over the underside of Plum’s dick. He licked Plum a few times, spreading a mix of Plum’s precum and his saliva all over the shaft. Plum dug his phalanges into the couch, but kept his hand on Blue’s skull light. He didn’t want to rush Blue, even if he felt like he was dying.
When they had first done this, Blue hadn’t really known how to give a blowjob. Plum had been with virgins before, and he didn’t mind giving Blue a hands-on demonstration. Stars, Plum had never expected Blue to get good at blowjobs this quickly.
Once he felt Plum’s dick was wet enough, Blue licked his teeth and opened his mouth. He swallowed about half of Plum’s shaft, curling his tongue to rub it against the head of Plum’s cock. Plum rocked his hips up, a thrill running through him as Blue pressed them down again. He was stronger than most people expected, and Plum loved being manhandled.
While Blue didn’t have proper lips, the way he curled his tongue to wrap around Plum’s dick, the hum of his magic, and the occasional gentle brush of teeth were more than enough stimulation for Plum. Blue moved one hand to Plum’s lower spine, stroking it at the same steady rhythm that he bobbed his head. He stared up at Plum, and the intimacy of his gaze made Plum’s soul thrum in his chest.
When Blue’s hand dipped from Plum’s lower spine down to his sacrum, Plum knew he was getting close quickly. One of the benefits of LT was stamina, so even if Plum came now, he would be able to keep going.
“I’m getting close Ber,” Plum warned, brushing his fingers against Blue’s skull.
Blue pulled back just far enough to speak, continuing to rub Plum’s sacrum. “Go ahead, I’ll swallow.”
In less than a minute, Plum was cumming. He moaned out Blue’s name, his vision going white. Blue was still holding him down, so all he could do was squirm and ride it out. Blue kept going, easing up on his sacrum and focusing more on his dick. When Plum was finally finished Blue pulled off, and Plum’s dick twitched weakly as Blue licked his teeth.
Plum beckoned him, and Blue happily stood up. Blue kissed Plum, and Plum happily opened his mouth. He could taste himself on Blue’s tongue, but that only made him more excited. He sucked on Blue’s tongue, feeling a bulge press against his thigh as Blue leaned in close.
“I think it’s my turn to taste you,” Plum purred, wrapping his legs around Blue’s waist and flipping them over. He loved submitting to Blue, but switching their roles around was even more fun. Judging by the way Blue’s skull flushed with magic, he agreed.

Hetalia Rarepair Week 2023 Day 5: Historical - America and Lithuania 1992 was a historic year for Olympic basketball for both Lithuania and America!
I've been wanting to try out make some shrinky dink standees recently so this was the perfect excuse :)
More info and images below:
1992?! Historical? Hopefully that counts. Anyway, in 1992 two things happened in the world of Olympic basketball:
Lithuania's story is way more compelling so we will go with America's first. 1992 was the first year that NBA players were sent to the Olympics, rather than more amateur players. This team was called the "Dream Team" and given how stacked they were they did go on to win the gold! By the way, at the previous Olympics in '88, the Americans were beaten by the USSR team which included several Lithuanian players...
As for Lithuania, this would be the first time that Lithuanian basketball players would be able to represent their own nation in Olympic basketball instead of playing under USSR, which was a huge thing! There were economic troubles at the time and it wasn't certain the nation would be able to send a team due to the cost of doing so, but they rallied the nation and other organizations/entities and came up with the funds. They went on to win the bronze, pretty impressive! You can find lots of articles and such about this online, or check out "The Other Dream Team" documentary/movie, etc. I think the NBA even put out a Lithuania-focused mini-doc recently.
But wait, there's more. One of the "entities" that helped fund the Lithuanian team was...the Grateful Dead. Yes, an American band gave them $$$. Yeah, we've reached the even more AmeLiet-ish part of the story. Apparently Jerry Garcia appreciated the Lithuanians' struggle for Freedom and Liberty. Also a New York(I think?) sports artist created a skeleton slam-dunking tie-dyed t-shirt that was like...the Grateful Dead meets Lithuanian flag meets basketball, ha ha. These shirts were sold at the Olympics and beyond to raise funds, and you can still buy them today. The shirts were popular at the Olympics and really helped bring even more attention to the Lithuanian team, especially when they wore them while accepting their medals! Check out some pics online, it is AMAZING.
Tumblr media
As for the standees, they are wearing their nations' '92 Olympic uniforms. Their numbers are just their independence holiday dates. They are made with the "ruff n' ready" shrinky dink plastic and Prismacolor colored pencils. They were pretty easy to make and I love them. I hope to make them some basketball-court looking stands, but that will be a bit more complicated. Someday...

Fanfiction Year in Review 2023
I fill this out every year. It’s become a bit of a tradition for me. Allows me to reflect on everything that I’ve written and kinda think about where I want to go next. And I like it better from the ask games because I don’t have to wait for asks to come in and can compare my answers from one year to the next. ^_^
1 List of fics completed this year in the order they were finished:
Displaced (Ladrien oneshot)
No Regrets (Ladynoir oneshot - smut)
You Don’t Have To Pretend With Me (Platonic Adrino oneshot)
Representation Reveal (S5 Adrinette oneshot)
Kisses in the Rain (S5 AU Love Square - technically multichapter, but it’s shorter than many of my one-shots)
Would Trust You With Everything (Adrino multichapter)
Just An Ordinary Girl (Marichat oneshot)
Love Remains (Ladynoir multichapter)
Spin the Bottle (OT4 with cour four - technically oneshot, but it’s longer than Kisses and has more kisses in it. Haha!)
2 Number of words written: 
Written: 166,114 words
Published: 151,018 words (more than twice 2022’s number!! Go me!!) 
Those numbers are incredibly close together because I haven’t been redrafting as much. Those numbers include six one shots, three completed multi chapters. And another four multi chapter WIPs saw at least one update.
And in another fun milestone! I broke a million words published on Ao3 just this last week!! (I've been writing fic since 2003 and everything I've ever written is on Ao3!)
3 Your most popular fic:
Not Part of the Plan - I suspect that this is mostly because being a teen pregnancy fic, it’s my most tropiest story this year. Haha! 
4 Your personal fav:
Aftermath - This story has usurped Right Behind You as my favorite. I’ve been able to connect to the raw hurt and grief in this story, and there’s something very raw and human about it that others seem to be able to connect to as well. I think it’s some of my best work, and that is also thanks to an amazing beta in @ladyofthenoodle who has lent her expertise in more than one way in making this one more true to lived experience. 
5 Your fav scene:
It’s so hard to pick a favorite!! I narrowed it down to my three favorites in no particular order. 
The last scene in Ch 5 Love Remains - Chat Noir give amnesiac Ladybug a geography lesson from space. It’s got Whole New World vibes, and I just loved the imagery of it.
Ch 4 of Aftermath - I’m particularly proud of Marinette’s panic attack when Adrien tells her she doesn’t have to keep coming over. Like it feels like it comes out of nowhere, but it just totally makes sense. And how it manifests and how she soothes herself (it’s not healthy, but it’s so GOOD!)
Ch 7 of Would Trust You With Everything - The scene where Chat Noir tries to tell Nino who he is, but inevitably doesn’t. And how Nino reassures him through all that. This scene feels so raw, but so heartwarming in light of Adrien’s fears. And I don’t know - it’s beautiful to me.
6 A fic or scene that challenged you:
I really struggled with Right Behind You this year, though it wasn’t for lack of trying! I had started out the year hoping to go back to an update a month here and I only updated it three times throughout 2023. 
This was incredibly frustrating because the initial drafts of scenes would come pretty easily, but I couldn’t seem to make them pop the way the earlier chapters did. The good news is I think I figured out what the issue was. Most of my writing this year has been speed writing. And a big part of that is just where I’ve been emotionally. I’m very very out of practice in editing and redrafting, which this story and Aftermath both definitely need. 
I’ve only been able to edit Aftermath because I’ve had a ton of help. (Thanks Noodles!) Sadly, it’s harder to find betas for rarepairs, but I have succeeded! (Thanks@coffeebanana!)
7 A line of writing you’re proud of: 
“She wanted to be there to see it. To see him.”
This line is way better in context, but I’ve made myself cry about three times with it. And I refuse to explain it because that would give its power away. Guess you’ll just have to go read Aftermath. 
8 A comment that touched you: 
I can never answer this question without mentioning several!! 
Would Trust You With Everything - this story had a ton of enthusiastic followers - way more than rarepair work usually gets, and I wrote this story right after my life fell apart and all the commenters here made throwing this story together just that much more joyful during a time when I REALLY needed it. (I'm looking at you, @bittersweetresilience, @bbutterflies @flightfoot @coffeebanana and so many others that I don't know your tumblr name!!!) Not Part of the Plan Comments - I added sex ed lessons to the end of each chapter here because there’s so much about fertility and pregnancy that people don’t know if typical pregnancy fics are anything to go by, and this seemed to inspire so many people to share their pregnancy stories!!! And these have been so cool because I’ve learned that these stories just don’t often have an opportunity to be shared. And it’s neat that this story with its accompanying lessons could create a space for that!! Aftermath comments - lots of people who have really struggled with moderate to severe depression have apparently felt very seen by this fic. And that a story that is essentially about two characters who feel very alone and like no one can understand can help people feel LESS alone and MORE understood is simply amazing!! I love this story so much!! AHH!! Here's one from @neurovascular-entrapta that meant a lot to me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
9 Something that inspired your writing:
Grief and the need to feel things in a distant abstract-these-are-story-book-characters kind of way so I don’t have to feel my actual feelings as closely every moment of the day really kept me writing the whole year long.
10 Your proudest accomplishment (that one scene; finally finishing that one fic; posting your first fic; etc):
My writing has been really raw and messy this year, and I can’t keep tenses straight to save my life. But there’s something powerful about the rawness that I really like even as all the grammatical errors and the lack of effort on the technical side of most of my stories has driven me nuts. 
I am proud of myself for being able to get back into the big projects in these last few months after not being able to face them from April to October. And I’ve started participating in a few writing events here and there again in addition to working on my own pet projects. 
11 Do you have any writing goals for the next year?
Well, I wanted to finish Not Part of the Plan in 2023, which didn’t happen only barely! So hoping the last chapter and the epilogue make it out within the next month. Once that’s done I think I want to try and make Aftermath and Right Behind You my primary focus projects this year. And of course, I’m sure new plot bunnies and writing events will take over my brain on occasion. Last year, I said I wanted my writing to become a reliable mental health tool for me again, and I’m glad to say that it definitely was that for 2023. I hope I’m able to use my writing this year to continue my healing journey. 
And maybe go and proofread all of the fics I finished in 2023 to fix all the inconsistent tense issues to prepare them for being bound eventually!
12 Anyone you would like to thank?
SO MANY PEOPLE!
@jennagrinsoverml for being one of my oldest fandom friends! For becoming a real life friend for all that we haven't actually met in person. For all the times you vented to me and listened and sent me pictures of your family and gushed over pictures of mine. I'm lucky to know you!
@ladyofthenoodle - for showing up in my DMs, For being a most insightful beta, for dragging me into a larger community over and over again, for listening to both my real struggles and my first world problems, for being my friend!!
@thelibraryloser - I don't know how to put this into words. But I very much look up to you. For your resilience through difficult times - you are role-model for how to handle this world with grace and kindness. Thank you for your stories!
@coffeebanana - for being so enthusiastic in the creation process before and after! When I have a story that is getting no attention one comment from you makes it so it doesn't matter. You give me all I need.
@bittersweetresilience and @wackus-bonkus-maximus for just being so kind and enthusiastic and supportive of any idea I happen to be talking about in any given moment. I guess for enabling me. Haha!
@blur0se and @mila-beedoodling for sharing your ideas and inspiring me to create new things!!
@asukiess, @chocoluckchipz, @sariahsue, @miabrown007 for creating so many beautiful things and for being kind and engaging in so many conversations!
And now, I'm really nervous that I'm forgetting someone because this is the first time where I feel like I've had more than three fandom friends. Haha! It's a good problem to have I suppose. In general, thank you to the miraculous community for helping me to survive this year. <3 <3 <3
Happy New Year Everyone!!
I invite anyone who wants to, to fill this out! (Or something similar because I think it can be modified for artwork pretty easily). But if you do, please tag me, so I can be a cheerleader for all you've accomplished this year!

2023 in review - recs & highlights
Happy New Year and thank you @sorrybutblog for the tag 🥂I wasn’t very active in 2023 tbh, after May I couldn’t find time or inspiration to read new things or write single recs so I focused on list requests instead. But I’m very proud of all the little things I’ve accomplished! They’ve brought me so much joy and I’m pleased with how they came about. I’m sharing below my personal highlights and would to see everyone else’s. Consider this an open tag and feel free to @ me!
✨this year I jumped right back into my anime & manga phase (I’ve loved it for as long as I’ve loved Drarry) and it’s been a thrill to discover and revisit some top notch BL stories. I did two reclists (part 1 and part 2) for fun without really expecting any interest but the feedback was so lovely I’m now planning a part 3!
✨ got so many special gifts! I was absolutely mindblown by @epitomereally’s lovely and creative LA, Who Am I To Love You? for my Wireless prompt; I got hot and bothered over this delicious nsfw art by @maesterchill; and fell deeper in love with Harry/Ron thanks to @writcraft’s stunning Can’t Start a Fire Without a Spark. I’m so lucky to have these wonderful and talented friends! thank you ❤️
✨ loved doing these sexy rec lists for V Day: heartbreak & rarepair romance
✨ as I said I haven’t read much this year, so imagine my shocked pikachu face when I saw that I did 8 fest rec lists this year! two are still incomplete (Career Fair and Erised) but I’ll get there
✨ it was such a blast to join @hprecfest and share 31 daily recs throughout December. not only I got my mojo back to rec some of my fave hidden gems, I also found many new incredible fics thanks to everyone who participated. I was especially happy to see a big amount of love for rare pairs!
✨ I also did two cute holiday-themed lists: Christmassy reads and NYE reads!
✨ finally, following tradition I just posted my end of the year lists: Drarry + Rare pair. a bit shorter than usual but done with just as much love!

Excuse me, Miss Marianne, but why are you this concerned about Edelgard? She's your enemy at this point. Do you know who else is so worried about her? Dorothea.

JaySteph Weekend
August 11-13, 2023
Official Prompts List!!
It’s no April Fool’s! Our official prompts list is here!
Tumblr media
Friday, August 11 - Helping Bathe / Ride or Die / Book Club
Saturday, August 12 - Wearing Each Other’s Colors / Hand in Unlovable Hand / Annoying Bruce
Sunday, August 13 - Kissing for a Mission / Hair / PTSD
Please reblog to help spread the word !!
❤️💜Event Details💜❤️
❤️ You can use just one prompt per day or a combination.
💜 You can create for just one day, or two or three. (And of course, multiple works per day are allowed.) Late works are always welcome!
❤️ You may interpret the prompts as broadly or creatively as possible! Additionally, you may create for any AU, and any gender/race/orientation Jason and Steph. (We do encourage you to consider the why’s of switching a female character to male when there are so few fleshed-out canon females, but it’s not prohibited.)
💜 Almost all types of fanworks are allowed - fanfic, fanart, incorrect quotes, mood boards, play lists, edits, memes.
❤️ This is an event to create brand new fanworks that celebrate Jason Todd and Stephanie Brown as a couple - whether platonic, romantic, or NSFW. All works must be JaySteph-centric and related to one of the day’s prompts.
💜 This is a ship-friendly, censorship-free event open to all. We will have a very clear tagging system in place for all ships (including side ships) and dark content so that people can filter out what they don’t want to see from the main blog. We truly want the event to be accessible for everyone regardless of their personal tastes or triggers.
❤️ Due to JaySteph’s rarepair status, we don’t allow poly-JaySteph ships in order to keep the event’s focus exclusively on Jason and Steph’s relationship with each other. However, you are welcome to use poly relationships in side ships. DC Make It Poly Week is a great July event where you can feature all your JayStephPoly ships while spreading the JaySteph agenda love.
💜 Be sure to read the Event Rules and FAQs for all the nitty gritty details.
❤️ Work for JaySteph Weekend must be brand new, however you can combine it with any other fandom events if possible. For example, you can choose an August Year of the OTP prompt AND a JSW prompt to use in the same work, or combine a fandom Bingo fill with a JSW prompt. You can’t drop JSW work early, however, so hang onto it until our own event dates!
💜 Send us an Ask with any questions!

2023 Writing Wrap Up
Thanks to @citrusses for the tag, it's always fun to reflect on what I've done! Tagging @all-or-nothing-baby, @makeitp1nk, @phdmama and @apricitydays-lazynights
I actually wrote about half of these stories this year, but this is what I posted this year. I spent a good month digging out and wrapping up some WIPs that had been hanging around. They're at the bottom, since most of them are not HP related.
If you are a Drarry fan and want my best of the year, let me suggest my kinktober oviposition offering:
A Charitable Endeavour (Harry Potter|Drarry)(E) (2,322 words)
If you like rarepairs, I would suggest these two, after paying close attention to tags:
Never Too Much (Harry Potter|Harry/Remus)(E) (3,432 words)
A Gift of Forbidden Fruit (Harry Potter|Hermione/Bill,Hermione/Ron)(E) (6,805 words)
For all 29 stories I posted to ao3 this year, keep going!
Beginning of 2023:
For Everything, a Season (Harry Potter|Drarry) (1,342 words)
A Christmas fic for the Drarry Microfic exchange of 2022 which, just like the one for 2023, started out being something very different, and ended up this - a short snippet of an older, married Drarry, reflecting and enjoying their life.
The Old is New Again (Harry Potter|Drarry) (1,471 words)
I wanted to do my own take on trans!Draco, and this became Calla, and honestly? I love her.
Kinktober was so much fun. I really wanted to challenge myself with these, and I continue to be challenged with more of these stories that'll go out in 2024. It's been so much fun, especially writing kinks I don't share, since I have to really dig into characters and why the kinks appeal to them.
dare to dream it, dare to be it (Harry Potter|Harry/Sirius/Remus) (1,886 words)
I loved writing this boot worship kink story, I loved finding the ways that it's important to both Harry and Sirius, and exploring Harry's hopes and insecurities when it came to Remus.
Never Too Much (Harry Potter|Harry/Remus) (3,432 words)
This watersports story is so wholesome, honestly. It's E rated, but it's an established relationship, and it's very much about trust and vulnerability, and I love that aspect of exploring kinks like this, that can involve judgement.
Unlocked (Harry Potter|Drarry; Harry/Sirius) (1,205 words)
This collar kink story was one of the most fun ideas I had. I wasn't able to flesh it out as much as I wanted to, but I'm definitely hoping to revisit this magical collar idea in the future. There's so much potential!
A Charitable Endeavour (Harry Potter|Drarry) (2,322 words)
Ovipostion! And one of the few Drarry fics I wrote for Kinktober. I actually really love these versions of Draco and Harry - Draco, an insatiable Veela, Harry, who is happy to attempt to satiate... and Luna, who needs some help with some dragon eggs. I actually have a few more fics planned in this verse, but we'll see if I get to them. So much filth to write, so little time.
A Gift of Forbidden Fruit (Harry Potter|Hermione/Bill,Hermione/Ron) (6,805 words)
The one I knew wouldn't hit, but I had to write it anyhow. It has infidelity, it has body worship, it has imperfect people trying to do their best for the people they love. It burrowed into my head and wouldn't let go, and I'm proud to have written it.
I started posting microfics to ao3 this year, including some older ones that I'd only posted on tumblr.
Your Spark to My Tinder (Harry Potter|Drarry) (717 words)
This was actually a ficlet I wrote on tumblr for @phdmama, and later posted to ao3. Short and sweet antagonistic Drarry.
The Nature of Kindness (Harry Potter|Drarry) (50 words)
A painful look at how Draco sees himself.
Where the Sea Takes Us (Harry Potter|Drarry) (651 words)
A fun merman!Draco fic.
Magnolia (Harry Potter|Drarry) (127 words)
A Hanahaki ficlet with an ambiguous ending.
A Lesson in Snogging (Harry Potter|Drarry) (129 words)
Smokin' but T rated Drarry.
Keep on Driving (Harry Potter|Drarry) (150 words)
Draco is newly divorced, Harry offers to give him a ride. Possibilities.
Might Seduce Your Dad Type (Harry Potter|Drarry/Sirius) (250 words)
This is 3 microfics, and I'm actually incredibly proud of it. It starts out Drarry, then ends up with them and Sirius. And it's a pretty solid little story in 250 words.
And the Christmas wrap up for the year!
This Time Next Year (Harry Potter|Drarry) (3,574 words)
An incomplete Christmas fic I'd meant to finish before Christmas but got behind on posting. Spoiler alert, it's actually a prequel to last year's microfic exchange, the first fic in this list.
The Heart of Our Home (Harry Potter|Drarry) (2,592 words)
This year's Drarry microfic exchange fic! Cottagecore with a scant spoonful of angst, and a sprinkle of sentient house fun.
Another challenge, which I set for myself, was to post stories that had sat around in my WIPs for a long time. I generally needed to add something, but in most cases I found that, even if I'd meant it to be a lot more, they stood alone as they were, or with some brief connections between scenes. I learned a lot from this effort.
Another Beginning (Teen Wolf (TV)|Deaton/Sheriff Stilinski) (3,168 words)
This was such a healing story for me to write and to put into the world. These two characters don't really get a lot of attention, especially in a romantic way, but I think they both have a really intense loyalty to the pack that makes them uniquely suited to one another, and I was really glad to be able to get this out so other people could enjoy it.
Our Relentless Dreaming (Dragaera - Steven Brust|Vlad/Morrolan) (4,431 words)
I'd had this one partially finished for quite a while, and I'd planned to tailor it for Yuletide and gift it. That...didn't work out very well, since I ended up being on the Yuletide naughty list, but I was still able to tweak it and gift it, and enjoy having it out there and off my WIPs list. It got a hearteningly beautiful reception, and I appreciated that so much.
Picked Clean (Harry Potter|Draco & Harry) (989 words)
I never entirely knew where I wanted this to go, but I wanted it to be a darker look at Draco, especially, after the war. I wanted to take both Harry and Draco in a new direction, to understand them in a different way, and I really enjoyed exploring this take.
The Taste of You Lingers on my Tongue (Hannibal (TV)|Will/Hannibal) (627 words)
A dark but poignant first kiss vignette.
I Know the Pieces Fit (Teen Wolf (TV)|Sterek) (2,700 words)
I held onto this so long. There was one little section that I couldn't get to 'feel' right, but seeing as how this is one of the most popular things I posted this year...I think it's safe to say, it was the right time to release this post-series fic to the world.
Say Anything (Supernatural (TV 2005|Wincest)) (100 words)
A drabble featuring Jess.
Stalemate (Teen Wolf (TV)|pre-Sterek) (395 words)
I started a S1 rewatch, and started doing episode tags and inserts. This was the first one, from ep 1, where Stiles comes across Derek in the grocery store.
Skewed Normal (Teen Wolf (TV)|pre-Sterek) (378 words)
This was from the rewatch, S2, a little snippet exploring Derek's view of the world, and him protecting Stiles.
I Want to Give You the World, I Want to Give You Yourself (Supernatural (TV 2005)|Jody/Donna) (776 words)
I love Jody and Donna, and I loved exploring their relationship, how Jody would navigate it and what she would get out of it.
Between a Wolf and a Full Moon (Teen Wolf (TV)|Sterek) (2,832 words)
Xenophilic E rated fic with a lot of heart. I am a big fan of writing unhinged but wholesome fic.
Dating (Supernatural (TV 2005)|Destiel) (100 words)
A drabble where Sam accuses Dean of dating Cas.
In Grief, We're the Same (Teen Wolf (TV)|Dargent) (2,057 words)
This sat in my drafts because of a transition issue...I added a sentence and let 'er rip, and I like it a lot. It's a story of grief, of similarities, of people coming together in hard times, in hard ways, in the ways that work. It's about the slow process of working through guilt and grief, and how it's just a little easier with someone who understands.
Show Me What You Got (Supernatural (TV 2005)|Wincest) (871 words)
Some short Wincest filth that I wrapped up a year later with one final scene.

Working out the Kinks
Summary: Undyne's shoulder is hurt, and Alphys helps her relax it. (note: this is Underfell Alphyne and set in the UF universe underground, so I use their usual names.)
Warnings: use of sex toys in a non-sexual way and implied sex
Thank you to @nugget4550 for beta reading, I appreciate you :)
Read it on ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/44374717
Undyne had been cracking her shoulder all day. Alphys usually wasn’t bothered by Undyne’s presence, but the clicking was getting to her for some reason. She knew it was silly. She had listened to far worse sounds in the lab, but there was something about the sound and the fact that Undyne was making it that just bothered her.
They were meant to watch some anime today, Alphys’ favourite type of date, but Alphys couldn’t focus. She had been resting her head on Undyne’s left shoulder, but when Undyne cracked her right shoulder again, Alphys sat up.
“Can you stop that? It sounds awful.”
Undyne paused the anime, looking at Alphys as she lifted her arm about her head. Her shoulder cracked again. “Relax, it’s just stiff.”
“How did it even happen? I thought you said you weren’t hurt when you dealt with the smugglers?” Alphys asked. She knew Undyne’s job was risky, but she didn’t like it when Undyne kept injuries from her.
Undyne paused, and Alphys saw her cheeks flush slightly before Undyne turned away. When she spoke, she was quieter. “Yesterday one of the guard’s new trainees landed a hit on me.”
Alphys sighed. That explained it. Undyne hated admitting she got hurt in anything that wasn’t a real fight, especially if it was with a newbie. Alphys wasn’t going to mock her, though. Statistically speaking, even an incredibly strong monster would eventually get hurt if they got into enough fights.
Alphys stood up and carefully put her hand on Undyne’s right shoulder. Undyne wasn’t wearing her armour, and Alphys could feel how stiff she was. She squeezed Undyne’s shoulder gently, leaning against Undyne a bit.
“Then let me help fix it,” Alphys said quietly, squeezing Undyne’s shoulder joint. She winced as it cracked, quickly pulling her fingers away. Actually feeling the joint pop was even worse than hearing it, and Alphys wiped her hand on the couch to help get rid of the feeling.
“Heh, how’re you going to do that when you can’t even touch it?” Undyne asked, glancing back at Alphys.
Alphys didn’t meet her gaze. She looked around the room, thinking about Undyne’s question. There had to be something Alphys could use that would let her massage Undyne’s shoulder without needing to use her bare hands. She just had to think of it…
Alphys hurried out of the room and over to her bedroom. She opened one of the drawers under her bed, riffling through a few broken inventions and a stack of manga, before she finally pulled out a box. She pulled the tool she had been picturing out of the box, and headed back to Undyne.
Undyne snorted as she saw the massager wand. “Alphy, doing that isn’t going to help me."
“Shut up.” Alphys felt her cheeks burn, and she looked at the ground. “That isn’t what—W-we—I—forget it, we don’t have to do anything.”
Alphys had been trying to help, but now she felt silly. Of course Undyne wouldn’t want to use a sex toy for this, even if it was clean. Alphys’ issue was ridiculous in the first place, she should just suck it up and spend time with the monster she loved.
“Hey.” Undyne put her hands on Alphys’ face, squeezing her snout gently. “Quit that.”
Undyne sat back on the couch, pulling Alphys into her lap. She rubbed the back of Alphys’ head just underneath her spikes, giving Alphys a few moments to calm down. It was embarrassing to be so needy, but Alphys appreciated the time to relax.
“Is that better?” Undyne asked.
“Yeah,” Alphys breathed, looking up at Undyne. She was glad that Undyne couldn’t see her eyes through her glasses; she knew her expression must be ridiculous.
“Good.” Undyne picked Alphys up, and plopped her back into her seat. “You can try the wand out. If it’s on a high setting, it might help.” Undyne turned her back to Alphys, pulling the edge of her tank top to the side a bit to expose her shoulder. “And if you can actually help me, then I’ll use it on you.”
Alphys’ face got even hotter as Undyne winked at her. She tried to come up with a reply, but quickly gave up. Undyne would always be able to get to her, and stuttering without saying anything would just make her feel more smug.
She pressed the vibrating wand against the bottom of Undyne’s shoulder blade and turned it on the maximum intensity. Undyne moaned in satisfaction, leaning into the wand. Alphys put her other hand in the middle of Undyne’s back. If Undyne put her full weight on the toy, she would probably break it. Alphys began moving the wand up and down over Undyne’s back, smiling a bit. Being able to help Undyne relax and getting a close look at her muscles was much better than just sitting there and listening to that awful sound.

top 3 12 fics I read in 2022
I was tagged by @pennygalleon in her post to share my own fav reads of 2022 and... wow, it's SO HARD to narrow it down? Like, I knew it would be, but still 😂 This year was pretty peculiar when it comes to my reading, as I didn't really read anything older nor did any re-reads (I did listen to all of the Gallapod and a few podfics of Saras_Girl's stories, if that counts!). Instead, I was trying harder than ever to keep up with this year's drarry fests and dabbed in A LOT of other fandoms too. And, for the first time in years (as dramatic as that sounds haha), I started to read published books again and I'm still all hyped about it 😍
But, back to the fics!
The Categories:
📅 Fav published in 2022
😍 Fav new-to-you fic
🃏 Fav Wildcard (a reread, rarepair, different fandom, the spare spot on a BINGO card)
📅 Favourite(s) Published in 2022 📅
Kept in Cages by @sweet-s0rr0w (hp: drarry, E, 76k, @hd-wireless) - most phenomenal slowburn and stellar worldbuilding, Draco being fantastic with magical creatures, chubby, depressed Harry (and his depression arc is handled SO WELL too) and a whole array of side characters and truly touching scenes that made my cry A LOT. Also, those Malfoys are *somethig else*!! Never before I have been so impatient to know who's the author and the second the reveals dropped I RUN to Lauren's DMs to yell about how much I loved this fic sdfghj
Fool Me Twice by @sorrybutblog (hp: drarry, E, 38k, @harrydracobang) - so it's a case fic but it does a great reverse of the usual Auror Harry trope, as it's Draco who's job is to solve the (so well plotted!!) mystery and Harry is very much in his way, even if not on purpose haha Also, their banter here is *chefskiss*
Open Fire by @slytherco (hp: drarry, E, 38k, @hd-wireless) - canon divergence of what would happen if the war didn't end after Battle of Hogwarts, written in a perfect Tarantino vibe that left me shook a lot and in the best way possible! Ola's worldbuilding here is phenomenal and it also has one of the most steamy shaving scenes you will ever read, trust me.
Romp and Circumstance by @wolfpants (hp: drarry, E, 35k, @hp-bodiceripper) - so it's basically canon hp world but set in a Regency Era? How brilliant is that?? All the Mr-s added before their surnames created such insane tension I could YELL and it was hot AF and so full of pining and jealousy and denial and truly stellar descriptions of era's outfits.
The Inconvenient Death(s) of Harry Potter by [anonymous] (hp: drarry, E, 33k, @hd-erised) - my Erised gift from this year and I'm ITCHING to know who wrote it so I can shower them in love sdfghjkl But believe me when I say it's here without bias, as it's a perfect mix of hilarious and hot and did I mention it's a time loop fic? It features, among other brilliant things, dramatic Draco being frustrated about Harry's choices of running attire, a serial cat rescuer Harry and Tommy the Swan - tell me you're not intrigued!!
Yours Truly by @skeptiquewrites (hp: drarry, M, 14k, @hp-bodiceripper) - ok, first of all: Draco here dresses like Indiana Jones and I'm still not over it and it's been MONTHS. It's an epistolary fake dating fic written in Tee's signature gorgeous prose with brill characterisations and captivating magical theory and I hope I can squeeze some re-read time in 2023 as I very much itch to get back to this one.
The Final Case of Auror H.J. Potter by @pennygalleon (hp: drarry, E, 14k, @harrydracobang) - Penny wrote this fic based on my art during the Reverse BB and I don't think I'll ever be chill about it? Harry's self-discovery here is handled in such a good way, the pining is stellar and it's funny and hot and hilarious AND has Penny's signature drarry banter that never fails to make me grin!!
facedown on my bed (thinking of you) by @onbeinganangel (hp: drarry, M, 10k) - to quote Mari's own words: "Canon remains canon but Hogwarts is an all girls school". And it's such a BRILL idea I could scream about it nonstop!! Their characterisations are so stellar here and they were roommates and had such perfect dynamic and the pining was through the roof!! I had no idea how much I needed a fem!au drarry before I have read this fic tbh and it was everything I could have hoped for in that regard.
😍 Favourite New-to-Me Fics 😍
Impatient to Be Free by @idiopath-fic-smile (les mis: ExR, M, 19k, 2020) - so it's an 1950s les amis lesbian au and I actually don't think you need to be familiar with les mis fandom to appreciate this story? The research done here is honestly insane, the dynamics between two main characters are truly stellar and I could cry over the beauty of author's writing style!! I cannot believe it took me two years to get around to read this gem of a story but I will make up for it by reccing it at every given opportunity sdfghjk
🃏 Wildcards 🃏
steve harrington's six-step guide to getting the guy. by @metaldeads (stranger things: steddie, T, 34k) - steddie is the very first Stranger Things pairing I ever felt the need to read fics about and this one not only fixes what canon ruined in such a gorg way, but also spoils the reader with such perfect characterisations of its characters (not only Steve and Eddie!!) you will actually feel like you're watching a special episode of the series (only better tbh). It was funny and touching and so full of yearning omg!!
elegantly bound by @alchemistc (ofmd: steddy hands, M, 25k) - what kind of Karol's rec list would it be if there wasn't at least one poly ship here? I haven't expected to fell in love with Izzy as much as I did and even more so that I'll be so in love with the idea of him with Ed and Stede... And this fic not only caters to everything I love about their triad, it makes sure to give Izzy some extra backstory (and as a bonus some Black Sails refs!!!!) but it also develops the feelings between all three of them SO WELL! Author takes their time and makes sure they all can get some proper dynamics development: in pairs and all together which I love BEST in poly fics!!
Familiar as a Bottle and a Glass by @queeniegalore (CoD MW2: ghostsoap, E, 12k) - I'm ending 2022 with a very unexpected OTP (and I haven't even played any CoD game, what happened asdfghjkhgfgh) but I'm honestly so obsessed like I wasn't in a very long time!! And THIS FIC, oh my, when I tell you it has the most brilliant pacing of going from UST to RST I have ever read I'm not even being dramatic, it's SO GOOD. The tension here is insane and the dialogues are actual gold of a prose!!
Since I already went way over the og number of mentioned fics and I know a lot of you have already been tagged by others - let's say everyone tagged in this post may consider themselves tagged to share their own favs too. I'm also leaving an open invitation for anyone else who'd like to join - please tag me, so I can see your lists!

my year in fic
I was tagged by own personal ledgebag @maesterchill to share a few lines from every fic I posted this year. Behold her list of Drarry/rarepair majesty here. I checked my AO3 and i have five - one of which was a collab which involved me writing two fifty-word segments but I've included it nonetheless. This year was a tough one for me writing-wise - I had hoped to finish and post my long WIP and I didn't manage that due to real-life pressures interfering, so I admit it's been a disappointing year for me. However I did manage to get a foot on the ladder of original fiction, with two short stories published and some great feedback, and new deadlines coming up for more original writing. So swings and roundabouts I suppose. My only goal for next year? Finish my long fic! And wishing all fandom creators a satisfying and uplifting year ahead for 2023.
🩳Gather Your Will With Mine - Drarry, E, 1.9k, a massive collab so here's one of my fifty word segments.
"How can I be sure?" Harry whispers, later—a Muggle hotel bed, his whole body one delicious ache. "You know," Draco answers, but opens for Harry's Legilimens anyway. Harry's favourite chippy order; that first desperate kiss outside the Natural History museum; an unexpected infinity of tenderness.  And then the door opens.
📸Far Side - Drarry, M, 1k, werewolf Harry, dad Draco
“Look at your face, though,” Harry says, and they both watch the photo in silence. In it, Draco’s head dips and raises in a constant, wondering loop, face brightening when he peers into the swaddled bundle as though he’s holding magic itself, a new sun. His unbearably young self untucks the blanket and Scorpius emerges, still wet and crumpled-looking, the small starfish clutch of his hand reaching out, his opening mouth a silent squall.
“I wish I had been there,” Harry says gently, and Draco wishes Harry could have—somehow, impossibly—been there too.
👻The Edge of Something - Drarry, M, 1.4k, kidnapped Draco appearing as a ghost to Harry
“It seems like such a waste,” Malfoy said, Harry’s head on the pillow, Harry’s heart knocking in his chest. Malfoy’s hands slid like atmospheric pressure across the buttons of Harry’s shirt. “Take this off,” he said, and Harry did while Malfoy watched, eyes clear and grey as a bottled memory.
“I didn’t know,” Harry told him. “I didn’t know you felt the same.”
“Why do you think I’ve come to you?” Malfoy said. “Of all the people in all the world… Potter, I don’t want to wake up before—”
“Yes,” Harry said. “Yes, Draco, yes,” and he scrambled to wriggle out of his jeans.
🛒Take the Moon - Drarry, M, 15k, friendship to cursed marriage bond, dad Draco
“The old ways?” Harry said, idly curious, half-listening, and Draco smirked at him.
“Essential magic,” Draco said mischievously. “A blood rite, maybe. Or more simple, and almost certainly more pleasant—a consummation. But something serious, something… with meaning.”
“A consummation,” Harry repeated slowly, and he couldn’t help it, his eyes dropped to Draco’s lips, saw the moment Draco’s mouth opened slightly in surprise. Though maybe it wasn't surprise; Draco must have known, there had been a few times over the years when things between them had nearly tipped over into something else, and now there was nothing but the two of them, a year of togetherness, and matching rings on their fingers.
🌕Howl - Drarry, M, 9k, werewolf wartime AU.
Right at that moment everything felt fresh to Draco, but especially Potter; the urgency of new sweat, the decisive laughter lines around his eyes from the way he was still smiling at Draco, the dense night-sky sheen of his dark hair, much longer than it had been in school.
“I knew something like this would happen,” Draco said, still staring at Potter’s flank, the skin around the bite that looked very soft, the glimpse of his neat dimpled lower back, the lowslung trousers that could have done with a belt. Draco let the tip of his tongue drift to first one incisor, then the other. He was hungry. “I knew they were going to come after me. I didn’t expect that they’d try to murder me, though. Rude of them.”
I'll tag everyone who fancies doing this please - would love to see other people's choices.

HP Rec Fest, Day 4
As a big enthusiast of HP art I couldn’t be more excited about today’s prompt from @hprecfest. In my experience, the fic + art combo always feels like a special treat and makes the reading experience all the more immersive and magical. If you’re a Drarry fan make sure to check the HD Big Bang Fest which brings amazing collabs between writers and artists. I was hard pressed to rec my all-time fave A Sword Laid Aside by @korlaena with stunning artwork by @saulaie, but in the spirit of reccing new, lesser known works I’ve picked 2 Drarry fics and 1 rarepair. I’m so delighted to rec authors and artists I’ve admired for such a long time. Thank you all for sharing your talent with us!
Day 4) A fic with art:
Drarry
Memento Mori by @fantalfart and art by @crazybutgood (M, 24k)
Seven is the number on my door. It’s the amount of scars I bear on my chest. It’s the time I wake up every morning. Seven is how old I was when father beat me for the first time, and seven years later I felt the force of a Cruciatus by the same hands.
this is such a cool and creative case fic, I was hooked since the start and can’t believe how CBG’s origami art only enhanced the sense of mystery and the story’s creepy, dream-like quality. brilliantly well thought and executed, I promise this will haunt you for a while!
Waking Up Slow by @sweet-s0rr0w and art by @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm (E, 22k)
'Twas the night before Christmas, although it’s July / Draco’s a shopkeeper, no-one knows why / There’s hiking and witch caves, freak snowfalls and more / Bad Christmas jumpers, nosy neighbours galore / Narcissa’s here too, but… something’s amiss / And what’s in those chocolates that’s making them kiss?
WUS is one of my 2023 favorites but for some reason it remains criminally underrated so I’m here to invite you to embrace the Christmas spirit and go read this sweet story asap. I adore this charming and quirky shop owner Draco, watching Harry fall for him was such a treat. Just like the story, Joy’s art is rich, creative and tender, with layers of soft angst expertly woven underneath 🤌🏼
Rare pair
The NottPott Chronicles by @amarillis39 and @missmrah (E, 35k, ongoing) - Harry/Theo
A series of moments from Theo and Harry’s lives as they learn to navigate their relationship, deal with their demons or just simply revel in each other’s company. Every story can be read as a stand-alone.
this luxurious series is a feast to the eyes and an absolute rarepair classic in my opinion; a must read to all NottPott fans or those curious about the ship like myself. I was immediately sold on this hot tattooed power couple being sexy & tender across a series of deliciously intimate slice of life vignettes.

2023 Fic in Review
I'll just use the questions from last year :)
Total Number of Fics: 42
Total Wordcount: 45.692 on AO3 and 9.496 on a personal project
Fandoms: 14 
Smut scenes: 13
Most Popular Fic (by bookmarks): Sign my death with your teeth
Most Popular Fic (by kudos): also Sign my death with your teeth
New things I tried: As always, I wrote for fandoms and pairings I hadn't before. I also wrote original fic again after at least 10 years of not doing that. And my goal for this year was to practice smut, and I did, and at least I learned why I'm not very good at it, so I guess that's something XD
Fic I spent the most time on: Hm, I don’t know. I’m usually a quick writer once I have an idea. Maybe Gotta risk it for the biscuit, just because it's the longest fic I've written this year.
Fic I spent the least time on: As I said, I'm usually a quick writer anyway. It's probably one of those short prompt fics I did.
Favourite thing I wrote: Hmmm. Probably somehow escape the burning wait (shiver deep within). I didn't plan to write smut there at all, but I love how it turned out.
I also love es ist besser so a lot.
Looking Back, Did You Write More Fic Than You Thought You Would This Year, Less, Or About What You’d Expected? Well, my goal was to write 50.000 words this year, and I did just a bit more, so I guess it's about what I expected :D
Story Of Mine Most Under-Appreciated By The Universe, In My Opinion: Most of my fics are rarepairs, so I never expect much feedback anyway. I did think that night watch and hard and fast would be more popular though. I know it's not the fandom's favourite pairing, and I very much wrote them for myself, but I didn't think that there was no audience at all for them. Ah well, they're still my OTP in that fandom.
Most Unintentionally Telling Story: Probably somehow escape the burning wait (shiver deep within), because I hadn't planned to write it that way.
Biggest Disappointment: I mean, not getting feedback is always a bit disappointing, but all in all, there wasn't that much to be disapppointed about this year.
Biggest Surprise: I did not think I would ever write Detective Conan fic, and Heiji/Kazuha at that. If you told 12 year old me, she would think you were insane XD
My Favourite Part Of Fandom This Year: Getting into Steter. Both the Valentine's exchange and the Secret Santa were wonderful, and everyone is absolutely lovely and very generous with their feedback and comments.
Writing goals for next year: Write more original fic.
