It's been a very Daddyful week for me! 🤭
Good Daddy: fic in the Yes, Daddy series. Snarry with daddy kink + praise kink.
smile with sweet surprise, chapter 4: aka the Stepdad Snape fic. Snarry, stepson/stepdad, underage.
Sugar, Honey, chapter 5: aka the Sugar Daddy fic. Features Sugar Daddy Harry, Quidditch Player Harry, Potioneer Snape, Bottom Snape, and lots of insecurity and tension!
So that's...daddy kink, stepdad, and sugar daddy. What a good week this has been! 😄 For me, at least 😏

Writing Patterns
Thanks for the tag @sugareey-makes-stuff (x)!
I haven't been posting much, so this will reach quite far back actually... [all the way to 2022!]
Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!
that's one for you ZoLu, T, 8k WIP
It started right after they left Shells Town.
I wish I'd known then Merthur, T, 7.5k WIP
“It’s amazing, you have to watch it,” Gwen gushes, setting down her pint with vigour.
Easy As Breathing Merthur, G, 1.5k
Thunder rumbled over Camelot.
What matters is what you make of it Merthur, T, 11.4k
Merlin breathed.
A Faire Fight Merthur, T, 6.7k
Arthur approached the wooden arch that marked the entry to the festival site with increasing trepidation.
That One Merthur/Gen, T, 442 words
Gwaine meets Merlin in high school.
His Most Treasured Possession Merthur, M, 5.9k
It cost Merlin his secret, but they survived.
Dragon's Legacy Merthur, T, 7.7k
This was madness.
And don't you dare stop doing it Merlance, G, 249 words
“Hold still,” chastised Lancelot as he dabbed the disinfectant on Merlin’s arm.
just one more Merthur, T, 1k
It’s quiet.
My conclusions: ...honestly, I'm not sure there is any clear pattern? Some use dialogue, some immediately set a scene or context, some are incredibly vague without revealing much, POV is very clear in about half of them, entirely unknown in the rest. I will say that several of them require the second sentence to contextualise them before they hit properly as a line, so that's perhaps the clearest pattern here — you can't stop after just the first sentence.
Anyway, tagging (just for fun, no pressure): @svtboo, @swordsmans, @multishipperpirateking, @merlinlikethebird, @burglarhobbit, @tyalangand, @the-furthest-city-light, @pearlll09 and whoever else feels like participating!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤
Ahh thank you so much for sending this! This game is so fun, I really love getting to see everyone’s self-recs 💖 I picked my fave five from this year to share:
Tumblr media
— in the woods somewhere - joel miller x reader
When a break-in startles you awake, it’s hard not to assume the worst. But when the thief is revealed to be a teenager just trying to help her wounded guardian - you find your heart softening.
Because after all… you suppose your cabin has enough room for three.
— renegade - joel miller x reader
“Is this why you’re here?” Joel asks you, shifting his hips, pushing himself deeper into your fist. His voice rough with sleep, the sound making you squirm.
It was easy to pretend it was.
That it was just physical. Fucking the nightmares from your head - that it could be anyone else burying themselves inside you, and the outcome would be the same.
— kittens got klaue(s) - ulysses klaue x reader
“Are you looking for anything else tonight, princess?”
You frown, “I didn’t ask for anything else.”
“I was thinking along the lines of dinner.” Klaue clarifies, before his voice lowers conspiratorially, “I do I love eating out.”
— wasteland, baby - boba fett x reader
The year is 2297, and your days in Vault 113 are spent among the pages of your books - of fairytale romance, of noble knights and handsome princes. That is, until you venture from your Vault, and are immediately thrust into the harsh and cruel world of the Wasteland.
And when you find yourself being rescued by a man in armor - you can’t help but wonder if those beloved stories might just have come true.
— bleed for me - vampire!din djarin x reader
When it's revealed that the Mand'alor is seeking a companion, you find yourself among those hoping to be chosen. A life of luxury in exchange for your blood seems a fair trade - even if you're hiding a closely-kept secret. One that would certainly put your life in danger.
Though, you are not as alone as you think.
Because he has one, as well.

Writing Patterns
Thanks for the tag, @quackquackcey (x)! It's been a hot minute since I've posted something (because I'm going at my own pace and self care is a nice thing), so this going to be me mainly dipping into a mix of drabbles and fics from last year and early this year. Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern! >> xiii. I’ll Surrender (Sterek; T, 100, from Darkness was before the light drabble series)
A shiver runs down his spine as soft lips kiss his neck.
>> xxii. Simply Because (Sterek; G, 100, from Darkness was before the light drabble series)
Derek finishes up with the Jeep when the bell in the reception area jingles.
>> xi. A Quiet Truce (Sterek; T, 100, from Darkness was before the light drabble series)
Living in his blanket cocoon seems like an awesome idea right now.
>> x. Back Again (Sterek; G, 100, from from Darkness was before the light drabble series)
He’s never been crazy about holiday events.
>> Closer to the Edge (Stackson, M, 2k)
When Isaac finally found everyone next to the tree near the back entrance, Stiles wasted no time sliding off of a low branch and jumping onto the grass.
>> Dancing Shadows From Behind (Sterek, T, 500 w/ art)
There’s no way they can escape the warehouse alive.
>> The Walls Came Crashing Down (Sterek, T, 4.2k)
He really should have asked for more backup.
>> Feel You Breathing (Sterek, E, 8.4k)
You still up?
>> Should Have Known (Cho/Padma, G, 200)
"You didn’t have to get me anything."
>> What It Takes (Daphne/Padma, E, 200)
It’s a beautiful sight.
My conclusions: Teen Wolf took over the second half of last year, and I guess deductions, observations or dialogue are what I like to start with for opening lines. It also makes sense that drabbles have short lines, because WCs are precious! Also, my preference is to usually start things ambiguously in the first line before tapping into character mention and PoV right after. Of course, case by case. Huh...interesting!
Tagging (no pressure, this is just for funsies): @sinnabon-cosplay , @serenaew , @shealynn88 , @elisedonut , @siriusly-sapphic , @outtoshatter , @raisesomehale , @zaharya , @coffeedrgn87 , @lumosatnight , @hey-flynn , and anyone else who wants to join in!

Without a (conscious) intention, my writing focus recently has turned to Finwëan women. Here are some of the latest takes: To Find a Home in the Twilight (G 8k) - Freshly out of Gondolin, Aredhel meets old friends in Celegorm's lands, makes new ones among mortal people in Estolad, and journeys to Nan Elmoth to seek the Fairy of the Night. She is definitely NOT lost. Written for @toastedbuckwheat's beautiful art.
Red (G 3k) - in which reborn Fingon attempts to save Maedhros again, from Mandos, and himself. He almost fails, if not for Anairë's wisdom. Enriched by this gorgeous painting by @helyannis
Mothers (G 600) - where Nerdanel remembers the song of each of her sons, and Indis helps her heal her old grief. Inspired by @welcomingdisaster's sweet drawing.
Keep my heart warm while I’m gone (M 1,6k) - On the Helcaraxë, Aredhel and Ecthelion find much-needed warmth in each other. Inspired by native Lakota traditions.
Selected Lays of Finrod Felagund: Amarië (G 500) - Finrod returns home to Amarië after centuries of exile. Written as a gift for @cuarthol.
Voices That Were Once Ours (M 5k) - Maglor & Finrod-centered story, where the Noldorin hosts at Mithrim meet for the first time, featuring a diplomat Lalwen who keeps the peace among Finwë's brood. Written as a treat for @themultileggedcreature's art.
Stay, Forever (G 1,3k) - Through remembrance and song, Elrond finally finds the courage to admit his feelings for Celebrían. Written as a gift for @searchingforserendipity25
I hope to break out of my creative block for the last day of @finweanladiesweek but if not, head over to the event's page for more amazing art and writing featuring Finwëan women. Reblog, read, give love to the creators.

✨ 2023 writing round-up ✨
tagged by @exhuastedpigeon <3
I posted 22 fics this year (including the multi-chapter fic I started last december) and 21 of those were 911, and 20 were buddie lol the very first fic was the ending of my sambucky era (or a pause, I might go back who knows) and then buddie fully took over
idk what it was about this year, bc I've been writing buddie since march 2021, but now it's like the only thing I write haha
putting all the fics i've written this year under the cut bc it got loooong haha - clearly, march this year was big for me, so many fics haha
January
June 14th, 2025 (I've been waiting for you my whole life) Sambucky, T, 3.5k
A year after getting engaged, Sam and Bucky get married. A little oneshot that takes place after the events of my fic "sounds like an angel (he might be a demon)".
___
March
The one with groceries and bad coffee buddie, G, 1.3k
It’s fucking coffee, of all things, that finally does it. Or, Buck buys Eddie's favorite brand of coffee for his loft, and Eddie's brain short-circuits, leading to a realization.
Fine buddie, 1.6k
Eddie’s foot feels heavy on the gas pedal, while his hands grip the steering wheel tightly, to prevent them from shaking. He’s driving almost on autopilot, while trying his best to compartmentalize and focus on just getting to the hospital, trying not to think about Buck- about what’s happening in the back of the ambulance right now. Or, after the drive to the hospital after Buck's hit by lightning, Eddie loses it. Sort of 6x10 coda.
don't know what I'd do if your tomorrow never came buddie, 1.9k
He can’t help but think that this is some kind of sick joke from the universe, which he doesn’t believe but he knows Buck would. “The universe is screaming at you and you refuse to listen” is what Buck said once, it feels like a lifetime ago. He didn't believe it, then, either. And now the universe is mocking Eddie, having him have to tell their kid about Buck, just like Buck had to tell him about the shooting. Eddie doesn’t know how Buck did it, how he had the strength, because he’s on the verge of breaking down and shattering into a million little pieces. Or, Eddie goes home to tell Christopher about Buck getting hurt.
we got time (but we're only human) buddie, 1.6k
“We got time, Eds.” Buck chuckles. “Not enough.” Eddie’s voice breaks a little. Buck squeezes his hand. “We almost ran out of time, and I can’t just wait until it happens again, Buck. Besides, life is short. We’ll never really have enough time, because a lifetime with you wouldn’t be enough." Or, Buck wakes up from his coma, and Eddie, done with wasting time, confesses his feelings.
I can't love you any more (than I do now) buddie, G, 2.6k
Eddie's pretty sure he and Buck are dating and kind of living together. Neither acknowledges it, until Eddie finally does.
I don't mind a detour (as long as I still get to be yours) buddie, G, 1.4k
Buck falls asleep on Eddie's couch. Eddie has feelings about it.
___
April
me and you only equals love buddie, E, 6.6k
“What would you say,” Eddie brings one of his hands to Buck’s face, traces his jaw, feather-light, barely there touch, and hears Buck take a shaky breath, eyes wide with something like awe not leaving Eddie’s face, “if I wanted to kiss you? Just hypothetically.” OR, Eddie is horny and in love, and after the poker date, he finally kisses Buck - and things unfold from there. aka my first smut lol
you're the one I want buddie, G, 1.4k
“You know there’s only one person I’m interested in.” “And who might that be?” Buck leans back against the counter with a goofy grin, and Eddie wants to just go over there and kiss him. “Just my best friend I’m kind of hopelessly in love with.” Eddie shrugs, and enjoys seeing how Buck’s whole face gets red. OR, no one knows that Eddie and Buck are dating, Pepa tries to set Eddie up on dates, and Buck finds it amusing.
kiss it better buddie, G, 1.5k
Buck burns his tongue, Eddie makes a joke, and everything changes.
stuck with each other buddie, G, 2.5k
Buck's new fixation is buying unnecessary kitchen gadgets that end up in Eddie's kitchen, they all cook together, and Eddie can't keep his feelings in check.
I'm free in salt water (embrace the deep end, leave everything) maddie fic, 612 words
Sobbing, Maddie got up and, fully clothed, stepped into the ocean. Cold water was splattering against her, as she kept walking, fighting against the waves that tried to push her out. She was determined. It wasn’t her first attempt at killing herself, but it would be the first time she would be successful. OR, What was going through Maddie's mind as she walks into the ocean? (wrote this one when i was bored in class in college about a year before I posted this and idk if I like it tbh but it's posted haha)
___
May
I'd marry you with paper rings  buddie, G, 3.4k
“If we’re not married by the time we’re, like, forty, we should just marry each other.” he chuckles, and downs the rest of his beer. And Eddie… Eddie knows it’s a joke. Obviously. It can’t be anything but. But still, it does something to him. He’s thought about it, fantasized about it, but hearing it from Buck, even jokingly… “Why wait?” his tone is also teasing. He can play it off as a joke, while still looking for Buck’s reaction, for any indication about how he feels. (...) “Let’s just do it now and get it over with.” Or, Buck makes a joke that leads to an unplanned marriage proposal.
Do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life? buddie, G, 2.9k
Buck spends time with Eddie and Chris, and for some reason finds himself incapable of telling Natalia, which leads to some realizations.
what a mighty good man  buddie, G, 3.4k
Buck loses his phone, and Eddie calls him to help him find it - but he does not expect the ringtone Buck has set for him.
___
June
me, you, our kid and a dog buddie, G, 4.7k
Buck and Chris try to convince Eddie to get a dog, while not even living together. It leads to more unexpected changes than Eddie could ever imagine.
___
July
you been looking for love (let me show you how it's done) buddie, E, 12.2k
“Are you-” he frowns, the confusion somehow winning with the urge to just lean in and kiss him so thoroughly he’ll forget about any other kiss he might’ve shared with any dates. “Are you doing all this on purpose?” “Doing what?” Eddie tilts his head, licks his lips, and – Buck’s almost a hundred percent sure – drops his gaze to Buck’s lips for a second. “Eddie.” Buck takes a deep breath, and wants so badly to kiss the smirk off of Eddie’s face. “Please.” “What for?” “You’re driving me insane.” he whispers, nails digging into his palms to prevent himself from reaching out. But Eddie’s thigh is pressed against his, and somehow his hand is on Buck’s knee now, and Eddie’s looking at him in such a way, that it makes Buck hot all over – or, hotter, his palms are sweating, actually. “And I feel like you are doing it on purpose.” or, Eddie is a tease, Buck is horny and jealous of Eddie dating, and a regular evening takes an unexpected turn.
___
August
For a holiday (and forevermore) buddie, M, 95k, 30 chapters
Eddie's sick of personal, intrusive questions about his love life whenever he visits his family, so he starts bringing Buck for the holidays as his (fake) boyfriend. He only wants to shut them up, and doesn't expect that the small crush he has on his best friend could actually turn into something more... (my baby fake dating holiday fic <3)
I could get lost in the feelings (just say that you belong to me) buddie, E, 15k
“Wait, wha- how- how do you feel about me?” Buck asks, his voice quiet and almost hesitant. “Buck, really? Isn’t it obvious? Do I have to spell it out for you?” Eddie sighs, eyes finally locking with Buck’s. “I think I’d like you to.” he whispers, eyes wide. “Just so I- just so I’m sure.” “Oh, for fuck’s sake.” Eddie mutters, and then, frustrated and sad, and angry, he takes the few steps separating him from Buck, grabs his face with both hands, and crashes their lips together. Or, Buck's going on a date, Eddie's so jealous he finally snaps and reveals his feelings, which leads to a passionate evening in Buck's kitchen. aka the possessive smut which might be one of my fave fics ever haha
___
September
baby, you drive me wild buddie, E, 10.9k
He places his left hand on Buck’s thigh now, and Buck’s smirk just grows. “Eddie, I’m driving.” he says mock-scolding, but he chuckles breathily, as Eddie shifts in his seat, angling more towards Buck, taking his right hand and very lightly moving it along Buck’s inner thigh, following the seam of his jeans, until he gets to his dick. “Pull over, then.” he hears his own hoarse voice, as his hand grips Buck’s also already hard dick, getting a gasp out of him, his left hand still on Buck’s thigh digging its fingers into the leg. He really doesn’t think he can wait until they get home. “Eddie.” Buck shakes his head slightly, eyes not leaving the road. “We’re not gonna have sex on the side of the road.” Or, Buck and Eddie have car sex on the side of the road. one of my absolute favorite fics I've written and i think my fave smut ngl haha
___
October
the next best thing buddie, E, 9k
And, look, Eddie could say that it’s all good, delete the message, and pretend it never happened. Except, the more he looks, the more turned on he gets, and his hand starts stroking his dick through the fabric, and- and his mind is clouded by arousal and jealousy, and such strong feeling of possessive want, he’s not thinking when he throws the covers away, takes a picture of his bulge, cock hard and leaking, a wet spot visible on his underwear, and sends it to Buck in response, with a text that says ‘no worries, I liked it. fuck, I want that gorgeous cock all to myself’. It’s so unlike him, he’d never even taken a nude picture before now, but- but this is Buck, who makes some sort of crazy possessive beast roar to life in his chest, and has his body screaming at him to do something, anything to get Buck’s attention on him, instead of whoever the hell was on the receiving end of the messages leading to that one. ‘HOLY SHIT’ is what he gets back, and not even two seconds later, Buck’s calling him. Or, Buck accidentally sends a nude and a spicy text to Eddie - things escalate from there.
___
November
I wanna spend my forever like that buddie, G, 8.6k
Eddie catches a cold and stubbornly denies he's sick, while a fondly exasperated Buck is trying to take care of him.

💕 time to shine! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (gifs, art, fanfics, podfics, etc.) you like the most, then send to other creators to do the same 💕
Both caco and @odekiisu sent me this ask, so I am going to toot my own horn loudly.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat is one of my favorites because I really enjoy digging into the culture of men at war and what they might do to both pass the time and make life a little more bearable. (Rex-centric)
All the Things He Said is another because I love the fact that people who know one another well can have entire conversations in the quirks of smiles and lifts of eyebrows and I believe in soulmates--whether you read that as romantic or platonic. Some people are meant to be together in life. (Waxer & Boil and also Waxer/Boil)
I am very fond of 9 O'clock Curfew because I like the idea of the Dad Batch and also because Echo is the daddest of them all.
And, finally, A Brighter Star Than You holds a special place in my heart--and not only because I pulled over mid-errands and wrote it all in one sitting in the Dunkin parking lot. I love the flow of it and the idea that sometimes, the birth families of the jedi keep tabs. (Qui-Gon had a sister.)
Thank you both for asking me this. I'm not one to self-promote and this exercise was a good excuse to step out of my comfort zone.
ETA: My bad, it was @sexysmeagolshitposting who asked, not odekiisu! You've met one TCW Survivor, you've met them all?? (Sorry Perry!)

Ahh! Thanks, Lee! This is fun ♥ Ok, so: Flip of a Switch holds a really special place in my heart because it was my first Ghost fic, so I have to include it. The Coming of my Ruin - another early one, still one of my favorites, just something about putting Dew through it really does things for me. The Boot Thing this is three fics in one but, oh well. My own fics don't usually fuck me up too badly--these ones do. Dismiss Your Demons - Cirrus/Dew Sounding with a lot of character development (my favorite). I blacked out when I wrote this one and it just felt good to write, I still adore it. The Day Dissolved - A day in Dew's life. Again, one that felt good to write. Made me want to write a full series of DitLs even if no one else ever reads them (someday, maybe).

hi bby ✨ I’m hoping to spread a little love around today (it is someone’s birthday after all — so you might see others answering this)!
I am a big fan of people enjoying cake and celebrating, and sometimes cake can be just tooting your own horn 💁‍♀️ so with that in mind, I’d love to know what THREE pieces of work you’re super proud of that you’d recommend others reading, and why 🍰
hi jo!! <3 this is such a lovely idea!
is the wildest dreams series that i'm writing with the loml @joelscurls, it's dbf!dave york x f!reader and it's genuinely my favorite thing that i've ever written. it's sexy, it's angsty, it has all the YEARNING, yeah i really love it a lot haha <3
is the safe and sound series, it's joel miller x f!reader and that plot has been living inside my head since foreeever, it's very important to me, so i'm extremely proud of myself for finally being brave enough to put it into words.
is hard to decide, but i think it's nights are so starry, blood moonlit, which is javier peña x f!reader and i love how it turned out, i still think about them often <3
i'm sending you the biggest hug, you're such a sweetheart for doing this and i loooove you <3

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💙
Oooh, thanks for passing this to me, Lizzy! 😄 Let's see....100 fics, how to choose 5? 🤔 Well all know #1 already, don't we? 😂 So I'll take a leaf out of Lizzy's book and do a countdown to 1!
5.) A Matter of Time
Harry/Severus. Rated: E. Words: 3,686. Written for Snarry Adopt-a-Prompt 2022. Features reverse chronology and alternating POVs! Also: ambiguous/open ending (my love!) It feels like the Snarry of my youth, that angsty and spicy student/teacher, and some good old fashioned tragedy! I really feel like I pulled the thing off with this one! (What is said "thing"? Who knows.) Also, not to pat myself on the back but...that final line? Ouch.
4.) Cruel Summer
Harry/Sirius. Rated: E. Words: 5,445. Minor Harry/Severus. Written for HP Chan Fest 2022-2023. Features gorgeous art by @mrviran. It's a fic I've had floating around my noggin' for a few years but finally felt the call to write for Chan Fest! Our two beloved, troubled boys (Harry and Sirius) live together post PoA, and sees them through plenty of dysfunction, manipulation, and other problematic content 🤭 They have a very complicated (and angsty!) connection and I am so so pleased with how it came out! It's very bit as spicy, sad, and twisted as I'd hoped!
3.) The Curse of Anteros
Harry/Severus. Rated: E. Words: 52,566. Written for Snarry Bang 2023. Inspired by an episode of Charmed called "Magic Hour" (which itself was inspired by a movie called Ladyhawke). This is another idea I've long wanted to write, but never knew how to write it until now. Curses, fairytales, magical animals, true love!! Begins with student/teacher and carries on through time to old men Snarry!!!! This fic really grew way out of control and I'm so glad it did. It feels like...a "proper" story, if that makes sense? Actual plot! Novel length! Who am I even???? Anyway I'm stupidly proud of this one. Also: ART BY MRVILLAIN AGAIN, MY BELOVED TEAMMATE, I'M OBSESSED. Like...idk I'm blown away. Which sounds bad cuz this is my story, but I don't care. This is genuinely a story that not only was I so pumped to create, but one that I'd have LOVED to read as a reader! Had someone else written this I'd have lost my mind reading it. I hate saying that, it sounds so arrogant, but I don't care, I'm losing my mind over this one. I wrote it in like 2 weeks!!!! This fic POURED out of me! And I love it!
2.) Collateral Damage
Draco/Ron. Rated: E. Words: 16,071. Written for Ron-Draco Fest 2021. The first draft of this got to like 10k before I had to scrap it and start totally over. Somehow the original opening kept winding down the wrong path. So finally after fighting with it for way too long (and only 2 weeks to go until it was due), I gave it up and tried again. Decided: "hey, let's open with porn and see what happens." Well...That worked. That did it. All I needed was to open with a BJ for magic to happen, who knew? I ended up with a story I was super jazzed about, and to my great surprise (and pleasure!) others loved it, too!!
1.) Contempt | Devotion
Harry/Severus. Rated: E. Words: 20,400 | 25,843. Written for Snarry-a-Thon 2022 and 2023. This one's cheating a bit since it's technically 2 fics, but it's also the same story in different POVs so...it kinda counts, right? Also I know people have told me they liked Devotion more but I can't help but admit that Contempt itself still holds the top spot in my heart! And while I think say The Curse of Anteros is a better overall story, I don't think any fic ever will top Contempt. I mean, never say never, but Contempt is the story of dreams. It's my heart and soul. It's the Snarry I've always wanted to write. The story, the dynamic, the characterizations, everything. It's everything I've wanted in a Snarry since I first began reading Snarry 20 years ago. Like...I have no words to express just how meaningful this work is to me. This is literally the culmination of all of my Snarry feels. I dragged this story out of my gut. I pulled it out of my skin and wrote it in my blood. That's how connected I am to this work. (Wow that sounds really dramatic but also...true.)
Genuinely I was so cared people would hate it, but I wrote it anyway because I needed it and I loved it. I'm very glad to say that plenty of others love it with me! And this is another one @mrviran offered love to in the form of a podfic! (Plus cover art!) I'm fully obsessed with the podfic (AND ART!) and I get all teary eyed when I think about it, that my dear friend worked so hard to bring more life to my baby. 🥹
Kinda funny how my favorite works (and what i consider some of my best works) were all for fests. Fests really do inspire me, even if they make me want to pull my hair out. 😂
Also is it cheating to give honorary mentions to Lover Boy at Play, In My Veins (In My Blood), Orange Blossoms, Teardrop in Your Palm, and Black Skies? 👀

Fic Author Self Rec
Fic authors self-rec! ✨ When you get this, reply with your favourite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers.
I was tagged for this a couple of times (thank you!) and I’m super late, but here we go! I’m going with wizarding world fics for this list!
Words, 2.6k rated T
Lily Evans loves words. Loves their meaning, their versatility. How they are rhythmic and made into ballads. How they burst out through laughter, can be waspish in a whisper, even low and gravely when breathless. They define and describe the real, the imagined, and every galaxy in between.
James Potter is a thousand words and she wonders how she could ever have thought one word would be enough to capture the essence of who he is.
Potter Exposed, 113k rated M
Lily Evans has been eagerly awaiting a promotion to reporter ever since she began working for the Daily Prophet. Now her first-ever assignment finds her undercover, posing as a seventh year Hogwarts student, set to discover some of the school's most thought-provoking secrets while juggling academia, making friends, staving off admirers, and getting to know her professors.
We Can Still Be Friends, 14.3k rated T
Falling in love? Like most things in life, this came easy to James Potter. Being in love? That is a different story. (Or: another story where Lily and James break up because of blood supremacist harassment.)
Remarkable, 2.3k rated T
“He is remarkable,” James says when the house stills around them and they are left for the first time as a family of three. “You may be a bit biased, as all I’ve done is clone you it appears.” James laughs—not for the first time, nor the last, but just one of a number that will dwindle soon to zero. (Warning: Major character death)
The Best Kept Secrets, 8.7k rated M
Teaching at Hogwarts is difficult enough and made all the harder when you are secretly in love with a fellow professor. Some secrets are better left unspoken. Others? Perhaps not.
Tagging @maraudersftw @tumbledfreckles @wearingaberetinparis @mabeltothknows @theresthesnitch sorry if you’ve already been tagged, etcetc.

PoliZ’s Seasonal Self-Recs -  Holiday/Christmas/New Year’s Eve Edition
With Christmas Eve a week away, here’s some seasonally appropriate fics I’ve written/participated in - arranged by pairing.  A/N:  I’m somewhat surprised I haven’t written any Stony Christmas fluff - guess I ought to fix that… 
WinterIron Bingo Round Robin - December 2023 (Bucky/Tony, General, 2055 words)   Tony and Bucky decorate the tree during their first Christmas together – will Morgan approve? And what else does Bucky have planned?
Letters To Santa  (Bucky/Tony, General, 754 words)  When Morgan insists that her daddy write a letter to Santa, Tony asks for a Christmas miracle - to somehow run into that handsome kind-hearted man from the coffee shop again.  (Sequel to An Act of Kindness) 
Silver And Gold (and Hot Rod Red) (Bucky/Tony, General, 360 words) Bucky and Tony share holiday memories as they decorate their tree; Tony provides the finishing touch. (bonus fanart!) 
Itching to Celebrate (Bucky/Tony, General, 100 words) Bucky surprises his boyfriend Tony with a fully-decorated Christmas tree in their living room. The surprise doesn't go quite as planned.
Where the Love Light Gleams (Bucky/Tony, General, 1352 words) Tony's minor mishap caused by flying back to the Tower through a blizzard results in an unexpected (but very welcome) Christmas gift. (Featuring matchmaking by JARVIS and the 'bots.)
I’ll Wait Up For You, Dear (Bucky/Steve, Mature, 385 words) After a business meeting the day before Christmas, James gets a flirty video call from his sugar baby, Steve.
Stucky Bingo December 2022 Round Robin (Bucky/Steve, General, 2178 words)  It's December. The weather is cold. Time to reminisce with hot chocolate and dancing.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Bucky/Steve, Teen, 1100 words) Bucky leaves a New Year’s party and runs into a stranger with a problem; he goes out on a limb to offer some help.
Muddling Through (Steve & Bucky, General, 1266 words) "Those aren’t the right words... to that song.” He didn’t know how he knew it, but it was true. He didn’t know how he knew a lot of things. Memories came back at random, so he was keeping a notebook, trying to piece things together.
I Make Toys (But I Have Aspirations) (Steve & Tony, General, 346 words)  It wasn’t that Tony didn’t like working for Santa. It’s just that he wondered sometimes if maybe he was meant for more. One day, his friend Steve asks for his help, and Tony finds his true purpose. 
Better Be Good for Goodness’ Sake (Bucky/Sam, Teen, 358 words) Bucky over-reacts to a Christmas morning conundrum; Sam is not surprised, but mildly amused.
Things Are Looking Up (Bucky/Sam, General, 551 words) Bucky’s reaction to a Wilson family tradition gets Sam to check in with his teammate and friend; crystalizing their connection.
In Case I Stand One Little Chance (Bucky/Steve/Tony, General, 485 words - ficlet + moodboard)  Steve and Bucky 'help' Tony pick out gifts for each other; Tony misunderstands their reasoning.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤
Thanks @orangepanic for the tag!
So, self-recs, let's see... Choosing favorites among my stories is like choosing a favorite child because I love them all, but if I were to recommend a sample as a representation of my works, these are the stories I would choose:
True Mettle
To this day, this one still ranks among my personal favorites, and interestingly enough, it's not shippy but an exploration of grief and loss and the power of friendship featuring Lin Beifong and Asami. What I'm saying is we need more moments with them hanging out and just being awesome and supportive together.
The Path
The one that started it all. The first book of my ongoing Kuvira redemption. It's been years since I wrote it, but I can still look back at it and feel a sense of accomplishment with it.
Masquerade
What began with a silly experiment with The Bodyguard evolved into one of my best Asami-centric stories, and even though it's an Asami/Kuvira story, Asami gets to shine in all her glory just as we would've liked to see in the series.
in your arms i am safe
Ruins of the Empire left me with a lot of emotions about Kuvira’s childhood, and they found their outlet in this Second Person POV story.
Playing with fire
My incursion to the Linvira shippers ranks is fairly recent (thanks to @redcatmusings) and it's given me the chance to explore Lin in ways I hadn't had the chance before, so I'm particularly happy with the way this story came out with its blend of angst and passion and romance.
Tagging @rakaiawriter @the-orion-scribe @udaberriwrites @jammerific @roguegona and anyone else to wants to participate.
