Sylki Fic Recs - August 2023

So, I finally decided to go through the Sylki tag on AO3 and pull out some of my personal favorite Sylki fics! I may have missed a few, but from now on, when people ask me for fic recs, I'm just going to point them right here!

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thanks so much for the tag @zsparz !!!💖

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

166!

2. What’s your total ao3 word count?

2.013.111. I write when I‘m stressed, can you tell?

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mostly the MCU. Frostiron my beloved 💕 I recently posted a Huskerdust fic, though, and a couple years ago I posted some Good Omens stuff! I have another Good Omens wip brewing, but I haven‘t worked on it in a while.

4. Top five fics by kudos

First one up would be Your Call, a multi-chaptered ABO Frostiron thing that‘s sadly unfinished because I‘m not happy with where it was going somehow. Then Corners of Reality, my baby, Yes or No, Dereliktion and last but not least Vita Nova!

5. Do you respond to comments?

God I try. I’m so bad at it though. On long fics I always answer comments on the last chapter when I post the new one, but I keep forgetting to reply to comments on older chapters or oneshots😭 They all mean the world to me though.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Ohh I wrote a few angsty oneshots but it‘s been a while. Maybe Here, that‘s the most recent one. Of the older ones I remember all my light most clearly. Tony is dead or dying in both of these lol, poor Loki.

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I like to think the happiest endings in stories are ones you had to fight for a little bit, so maybe Dereliktion. That was a long ride filled with angst and messed up relationships lol. I think Haywire (my first and so far only Sentinel/Guide fic, I love that trope a lot akfj) also has a pretty fluffy ending, and I have some oneshots that are pretty much all fluff!!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Occasionally? Just the other day I got another anon ask on here complaining about my recent stories. Makes me extra thankful for everyone who takes the time to tell me they enjoy my stuff!!💖

9. Do you write smut?

I do! Pretty much all the time lol. I love writing Dom/sub relationships!

10. Craziest crossover?

I don‘t think I‘ve ever written one before?

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yesss. I‘m not sure if they just didn’t know any better though, they deleted the copied parts as soon as I told them.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!! I‘m always so happy when that happens!!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Also yes. One year I did a whole Frostiron Advent calendar with @rabentochter (do you remember this????? How did we have the time??????? Insane) and we wrote a few more collabs beyond that.

14. All time favorite ship?

Frostiron!!!!!!!!!!!! I love my sassy messed up geniuses lol

15. What’s a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Uhhh I‘ve got a few. I‘d like to finish/rewrite Your Call. Once I also had the cracky fever dream of Loki doing random standup comedy shows in New York because he‘d KILL that. Can you imagine the sarcasm. The gallow‘s humor. Anyway I started that and then realized I Cannot Write Standup Routines at all. So there‘s that.

16. What are your writing strengths?

What I like to write the most is character and relationship development, so hopefully I‘m decent at that? Also dialogue, I hope, but that kinda comes and goes depending on the conversation.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I kinda suck thinking of longish plot that goes beyond “will they kiss?? Will they FUCK???” so I’ve been trying to practice that. Also scenes with lots of action😭

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I like it. I’ve been wanting to write a fic where Tony can properly show off his language skills but I don’t know enough languages to pull that off lol

19. First fandom you wrote in?

The VERY first was Dracula, back when I was 13 or so. I had a big thing for van Helsing back then. My first fandom on ao3 was Once Upon a Time!!

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Ooohhh. That would be Corners of Reality, because I worked on it for years before I even started posting it and I love how it turned out. It’s a slow burn time travel enemies to friends to almost lovers to enemies to friends to lovers to enemies to allies to lovers fic. I had SO much fun writing it I still think about it all the time😭😭

I’m just gonna tag some writers I know are on here: @endlessstairway @xottan @izhunny @arabesqueangel @bouncydragon no pressure though!! And if you see this and you’re a writer please consider yourself tagged!!💖

hii jj 👋🏻 for your cute december event: may we have zhongli + hail ? OR if that doesn't spark any inspiration perhaps zhongli + hibernation? whichever one you do, i hope you're having fun writing it! thank you in advance, hope you're doing well and taking care of yourself <3

It's Day 23 of JJ's Advent Calendar! Also, hi, Rin! <3 Thank you so much for your request! I decided to go with "hibernation" because I was in the mood for some domestic fluff, and I hope you enjoy the blurb. Have a good day/night and take care too! <3

Day 23: Zhongli + “hibernation”

You were sure that your bed had never been cozier than today, partly because of the fresh scent of the clean sheets, but even more because of the man by your side. With a quiet, content sigh, you snuggled up to Zhongli, taking in the familiar and comforting warmth of his body as you buried your face in the crook of his neck. “Can we just stay here for the rest of the day?” you mumbled, your breath softly caressing his skin as you spoke. “Or even for the rest of winter, maybe?”

Zhongli chuckled. As an Adeptus, he had never been overly sensitive to cold temperatures but he still couldn’t deny that it was much nicer to lie here with you instead of wandering around in the snowstorm outside. “A charming proposal, my dear. I too am not overly fond of this kind of weather… but we both know that humans usually don’t hibernate.”

You pulled away, propping yourself up on your elbow and resting your head in your hand. “Who said I’m going to sleep the entire time? There are a dozen other things I could do while lying here. Reading a book, for example. Or talking to you. I could also just daydream about spring,” you mused. Then, a grin flashed over your face, and you leaned in to brush your lips against Zhongli’s. “I could also kiss you from time to t- hey!”

You let out a yelp when he wrapped his arms around you, quickly trapping you in a tight hug. He pressed a soft kiss to your forehead, then your temple and the tip of your nose before he finally kissed your lips, and you felt yourself melting into his touch. With Zhongli, it was always like that. His kisses never failed to make you feel like you were the most adored person in all of Teyvat.

“’From time to time’ will not be sufficient, I’m afraid,” Zhongli said with a smile. “In exchange for staying here with you, I demand at least three more kisses.”

You laughed. “Alright, my beloved God of Contracts. Come here.”

Gifting

I’ve not done this before but I believe this would be what 8 of the Pedro Pascal Guys would gift you on Christmas morning. A little bit of fun & some of you might not agree but this is what I think they would gift you underneath the tree.

Obviously some of these are not going to be minor friendly so best not to read if you are under 18!

Din Djarin

Din would look on (behind the mask obviously) & se you start to unwrap you small gift. The knot won’t undo so Grogu starts to use the force. You think it’s sweet but Din tells him off for not being patient. You undo the last layer of the brown paper & see that Din has gifted you some Beskar. It has his & Grogus emblem on it & you smile back, you are not a mandalorian. You then notice it has a hook & chain. Din comes & sits behind you & slowly clips in it place & you smile. Through his modulator you hear him whisper”your part of our clan now”

Oberyn Martell

You awaken in your chambers, usually a small bowl of fruit is waiting for you from your lover. But this morning there are 3. One filled with fruit, one with nuts & one with spices. There is also a large display of flowers in front of your mirror. You smile & slowly climb out of bed & see a note from your Prince. “I shall come to see you later today, to make sure you remember our day of celebrations”. Oberyn is a man of his word & satisfy you for an hour later that morning. He is greeted by his own gift of your naked body lying on top of the bed sheets.

Frankie Catfish Morales

Frankie is Sober this Christmas & remember to actually get you a gift. No last minute dash to a 24/7 store on Christmas Eve. Nope underneath the tree is that jumper you pointed out 3 weeks ago when you went shopping, plus a watch, yours stopped working a little while ago. You hold them up proudly & smile that Frankie has taken so much in recently. “Awww Frankie” you say & you scoot along the sofa & kiss him softly. “So perfect, you do listen to me”.

Joel Miller (pre outbreak)

Post out break Joel doesn’t even know what day of the week it is but pre outbreak would have spoilt you with gifts. Ginger bread house packs the week before to build. Flowers & plants for you to make a Christmas wreath with in advance. Candles for the Christmas table. It’s like he was doing his own advent calendar himself. But in the day he softly will wake you up & gift you a small piece of jewellery. It’s not much but it will be half his monthly salary. He’d slowly but on the bracket, neckless or earrings on you & then would pepper you in kisses.

Jack Daniels / Agent Whiskey

He’s probably on assignment, saving the world. If he is he gifts you a bottle of the next years Statesmen for you to have & save for the future. But if he is home he’s got you something to make your life better. This year he has got you an air fryer. You’ve heard the rest of the world talk about them & he thought it was a rather cool gadget. You both wonder if you can air-fry Brussel sprouts to see if that makes them taste better.

Marcus Moreno

Marcus feels sorry for you. He’s not been a good boyfriend, but you understand being a super hero is more important. So when he is not in bed on Christmas morning you’re a little concerned. But then I’m he walks. “Breakfast in bed for my beloved” he’s made pancakes, proper coffee, fresh orange juice & there is a large bowl of fruit too. “I have other gifts under the tree for you but I promise to be here more emotionally & physically this year” he says before he slips back into bed with you to eat the breakfast & maybe have some morning delight.

Pero Tovar

Rice. He’s got you rice. It’s what keeps him going. He’s grumpy if he doesn’t eat & it’s his favourite. So him buying you 3 bags of rice for Christmas means you don’t have to spend any of your money on it for the next three months, which you are secretly happy about.

Dave York

He’s given you a couple of standard gifts over the day in front of the family, but as you both finish putting things away from the day, Dave hands you a small box. No one else is around the girls are in bed, the in-laws have left. So when you open the box & you see the see through nightdress & new vibrator, you blush. “David!” You squark. He lifts you up abandoning the rest of the cleaning away. “But I’m not wearing it” you say. “I know” Dave replies “I don’t want you wearing anything while i fuck you tonight”

Lea’s advent calendar - day 3: A Christmas in Bali

@writerthreads writing prompt for Christmas (2022), prompt 15:

[trying to make it Christmassy in a tropical location]

Eddie Munson x Gn!reader

No trigger warning

WC: ≈0.7K

December 23rd, 1989

Eddie was on tour with corroded coffin all December and their last gig was yesterday in Bali, which means you and Eddie are going to spend Christmas in Bali.

Only problem, you love Christmas and Bali isn’t the most Christmassy location ever. It isn’t christmassy at all ! But Eddie and you decided that you were going to do everything in your power to make the hotel room you’re staying at the more Christmassy possible.

You and Eddie are in the bathroom, you finish fixing your hair and look at Eddie, excited like a little kid.

“So! When are we going Christmas shopping?” You ask him.

Eddie find your excitement so adorable that he chuckles. “Let me take a shower Sweetheart and then we can go.”

You smile. “Have a good shower!” You tell him while disappearing back into the hotel room.

You start making a list one what to potentially buy to make the hotel room the most Christmassy possible. You listed the following items.

- Small Christmas tree

- Light garlands

- Christmas tree bulb

- Christmas socks

- Christmas hoodies

- Christmas figures

- Christmas themed wrapping paper

- Fake snow

Yes, if there is one thing to know about you, it is that you love Christmas so much that you can be a bit extreme.

Once you finished writing your list, you carefully folded it and put in the bag you’re going to take for shopping.

A few minutes later, Eddie comes out of the bathroom all freshened up and dressed. He takes his wallet and put it inside his jean’s pocket before turning to you and saying.

“Ready for Christmas shopping.”

You vehemently nod and you and Eddie leave your room to go to the closest store that could sell Christmas decorations.

You go to at least five stores before finally finding one selling Christmas decorations. Eddie chuckles at your little squeal once your realize you will be able to make your hotel room Christmassy. You literally run through the aisle looking at everything that look Christmassy. You put many decorations in your cart. At some point, when you take a small Christmas tree Eddie look at you, pouting.

“Baby…” He says.

“Eds, please ! Our hotel rom cannot be Christmassy without a Christmas tree… I took one of the smallest ones…” You pout.

Eddie ends up giving up and even takes the tree from your arms so you don’t have to carry it. You buy everything in you list and even more.

Once you go back to the hotel room you excitedly unpack everything and Eddie lovingly look at you. You look like a literal little child opening his Christmas presents.

Once everything is unpacked you roll up your sleeve and look at all the Christmas decorations before looking at the hotel room and tries to think of where to put what.

You start by the small tree. You put in in the corner of the room, right next to the bathroom’s door. You start decorating the tree with Christmas tree bulb. You also stole on Christmas tree bulb from Corroded Coffin’s merch stand. This bulb is at Eddie’s effigy, with him playing his beloved Sweetheart. You also add a star at the top of tree.

Then you write yours and Eddie’s name on each Christmas socks and pin them on the wall. Then you put the Christmas light garlands. Eddie helps you putting the small Christmas figures all over the room and when you’re done, you take out of the bag two Father Christmas hats. You put one on Eddie’s head before kissing him.

“Thank you for helping me and allowing me to set up a Christmas themed Hotel room.” You tell him, gratefully.

“Anything for my baby.” Eddie answers before passionately kissing you again.

And to make you even happier, Eddie decided to watch a Christmas movie tonight. You both snuggle in bed, watching a Christmas comedy that Eddie can’t help but criticize but you find it adorable. After turning the TV off, you both fall into a deep slumber. You’re dreaming all night of your perfect Christmas and guess what? The protagonist of this dream is Eddie.

Kaeya loves taking baths together with you. It's an intimate and also wholesome moment you both share together. The warm water around you two felt heavenly, and even more when you felt Kaeyas hands starting to roam around your body.

When you looked at him confused, he just smiles innocently and says; “Let me clean you up, my beloved wife Kel..”, as said as done, and he started to wash your body immediately.

While he did so, he murmured gentle and lovingly praises and compliments about your body but also about your personality, he also said how much he loves you and everything.

This was truly one of Kaeyas most favorite ways to spend his time - with you.

~ 💐 (you opened the 5th door of the advent calendar <3)

COOING SOBBING PETTING THE FLOOR

i'm gonna think of this every time i crave soft!kaeya/kaeya comfort. the way i hc that kaeya loves taking self-care baths lol. just hanging out in a big, jetted garden tub with a bottle of wine. arms spread out over the edges, eyes closed, his long hair in a loose bun shfalskdhfla, leaning his head back, enjoying the massaging jets on his back. hhhhhhhhh

ohhh but to be in the bath with kaeya, first facing each other, massaging each other's feet 🥹 then him pulling me to sit between his open legs, urging me to lean back against his chest. his warm hands rubbing my neck and shoulders, slow and sensual, and i can just FEEL the weight of the world melting away. my near-constant moans as i turn to putty between his slender fingers makes him chuckle quietly before kissing my cheek. "that's it, love. just relax and let me take care of you for once..." AKSDHJALFFFFFFJ HELP I'M TURNING INTO A PUDDLE OF SQUISH 😩😩😩

I LOVE HIM, YOUR HONOR ✋🏼😌 if i could spend the rest of my days with him like this, the whole world could fall away and i'd die a happy woman.

(bonus: kaeya singing sweetly in my ear, so quiet and calming PLEASE I WOULD WHOLE-BODY SHIVER AT THE TINGLES RUNNING UP AND DOWN MY SPINE)

#kel.answers 💌#💐 anon #even though i know EXACTLY who you are 😏#kaekel ftw #kaeya #kaeya alberich #kaeya fluff

BTTF Year-End Tag Game!

AAA THANK YOU @cheriboms AND @bttf-dork FOR TAGGING ME!!

This year:

How many times would you guess you watched the first back to the future movie?

Too many times to count...

Did you get any sweet bttf merch? If so, what!

Yes! BTTF Playmobil advent calendar and an off-brand Funko pop Doc!

How many cans of Pepsi Free did you chug this year?

Pepsi free? None. Normal Pepsi on the other hand.... Over 50 cans for sure.

What was a favorite bttf fanfic you read this year?

There were so many good ones, but if I had to choose... I choose 3!

Oh, How the World has Changed by @itsthemorph I just love the idea of Clara in 1985, even if it's only one chapter, I am sure the other parts will be great :)

June of Doom: let the Suffering Begin by @unknooooow. Now these ones are dark. They have become my Roman Empire, so I think about it once every few days. But again, I love angst, especially realistic. :)

Double Visions by @daryfromthefuture. While there were many good ones this one stuck out due to it having the talk of Citizen Brown (the not-so-silly doc). And it's also very touching and captures the friendship spirit greatly!

A favorite bttf fanart you saw this year? (please give us a link, not a screencap/repost!)

AGAIN MANY GOOD ONES.

this one by @future-boi LITTLE MARTY LITTLE MARTY

this one by @maxintime Cause Browns my beloved <3

this one by @bttf-dork (do u have any idea how long it took for me to find it, I thought I imagined it) THE COLORS, THE SHAPES AAA.

This one by @cheriboms The silly, the goofy, the little Baby Emmett (I WILL EAT THE FANART)

Did you create any bttf fanart or fanfic? If you did, what one(s) are you proudest of?

My time to shine :) /j

I am especially proud of June of Doom chapter 11 (Better known as Doc Has a Stroke literally). It took me two months to write, and it is still the longest one chapter I ever wrote (3k words). Also! I am afraid of hospitals and blood, so I have no idea how I wrote it. Also believe it or not, it was inspired by the animated series...

One more writing project I am proud of is Alteration. It is not because of how much I wrote, but how much I am still planning, and how many Ideas I have for it. I have every single detail planned :)

With art it's a bit more tricky. Since I am not THAT proud of any of them, but BTTF 2 end scene redraw is still one of my favs :)

How many times were you late for school this year?

At least three times, due to reasons outside of my control. But I hate being late.

Did you watch any other movies/tv shows with BTTF actors in them?

My Favourite Martian (1999) Where Lloyd plays an Alien. I watched it because of my silly alien doc au. And I had an amazing angst idea out of it (I wrote it for June of Doom)

That is about it...

Was there a memorable moment you heard a Huey Lewis song this year?

In the car. My parents are tired of me ranting about BTTF so Imagine me (not a singer) scream-singing Back In Time. :DDD

How many times did you fall down this year?

Honestly, either I didn't. Or I did too many times to count. Cause I don't remember

Did you get to see BTTF: The Musical? What was your experience like!

No...

How many times did your mom retell the story of how she and your father met?

Not many, maybe once.

If you could describe your year in a BTTF quote, which one would it be?

This one is the toughest.

It will either be "I repeat, Verne, this is a fool's errand." "Does that mean you're coming?" I always tagged along when I knew my friend was making a dumb decision.

Or “Why do we have to cut these things so damn close?”

⚡️LIGHTNING ROUND⚡️ Did you get to: go on any trains, skate on a skateboard, ride a horse, drive a Delorean, run in the rain, go to a dance, hang up a clock, play the guitar, pull an all-nighter, read science fiction, or drive thru Burger King this year?

To the dance, I even went as Marty McFly. (Even if it was 80' themed I did not win, they did not get the joke :(

Your future is whatever you make it! So what are you going to make of this coming year?

More art. Even more angsty fanfiction :)

I am tagging @unknooooow and I believe everyone else has been tagged. Maybe @jayisnotdrawing @bri-to-the-future @brinkle-brackle and @bentothefuturee @pine-killer55

Game by: @mjf-af

Sermon for Second Sunday of Advent (12/10/23)

Primary Text | 2 Peter 3:8-15a

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Time's a-ticking. Tick tock tick tock. Sun comes up. Sun goes down. Moon comes up. Moon goes down. And start over. And start over. Time is kept with many rules and regulations. Our own bodies have an internal clock. It’s called the circadian rhythm. In the morning, we wake up. At night, we fall asleep. When we neglect our internal clock or are forced to ignore it that does not turn out to be in our best interest. Even if we work the graveyard shift, we are still bound to the passing of time! Two Fridays ago I dared to get up two hours earlier than normal, so my body let me know by 7pm it was time to clock out for the day! In this sense, time is not a social construct. It’s as if God took a pen and wrote time into our bones. A time for rest. A time for activity. A time for leisure. A time for work. It’s all there and it’s all needed. The Book of Ecclesiastes lights up time for us in many more ways, it says, “For every thing there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to slay, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak, a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace” (Eccl. 3:1-8). The world itself ticks by the mechanism of time. It places limits on us. December comes. December goes. January comes. January goes. And on and on. Time is a calendar by which we all necessarily abide.

Because time is so pervasive we would assume that it is a law that God also must operate by. When it comes to God in his divine majesty, or what we would call the essence of God—this is not true. God does not operate by a human calendar. He is not subject to such things. Nor is he limited by them. God is unlimited. And as St. Peter wrote, “But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day” (2 Pet. 3:8). Time does not limit God but time does limit you and me. We feel time. We feel it in our bones. For some, quite literally. For in the passing of time we age and death works upon us until we draw our last breath. For God, a thousand years are like one day and one day is like a thousand years. True enough. But for us who are subject to time, the difference between one day and a thousand years we cannot fathom. We wait upon the Lord to act—that great day of the Lord that will bring this old world to an end and begin a new one. We feel the waiting. And because we perceive that time has passed we might think the Lord is slow in bringing his Final Day about when Christ will arrive in glory—the Future Advent of the Lord. Yet God does not operate according to a human calendar. Peter asserts “The day of the Lord will come like a thief” (2 Pet. 3:10). That means unexpectedly. No one will see it coming. At that time, the heavens and the earth will come to an end. And according to God’s gracious promise, a new heavens and a new earth will be established. Notice that it is not just a new heaven but also a new earth that will come about. As God’s creatures, he values a humanity that is both a spiritual and physical reality—a new heaven and a new earth will appear because in Christ we are saved in both soul and body. Christ who was born of his mother Mary, is God who entered time. Our time. The unlimited God, in Christ, became limited because he took on our human nature. He was born under law—in order to redeem those under the law—which means he redeems those who are still under the law of time. Therefore we are no longer a slave to time, for in Christ, time itself is limited.

Peter writes this second letter to relieve the anxiety that people had in waiting for the Lord to come. They were seeing the effects of time and death on others and in themselves. He reframes their concern about the slowness of the Lord into grace—taking the teeth out of the law of time. Peter says, “and regard the patience of the Lord as salvation.” Meaning, every day we wake up, in view of God’s promise, is a day of grace. The Lord delays the time of his final day in order to bring more people into his kingdom. People from every tribe, language, and nation. The Lord is patient, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9)—that is, the Lord transforming people from death into life one word at a time. Dear people, he has chosen you to inherit the promise made to Abraham—that by his Seed the nations will be blessed. That is, because of the Seed that is Jesus Christ you are blessed beyond all measure. No amount of time can take this promise from you. When you feel the passing of time in your bones, even that cannot cancel out God’s promise that he made to you. Though you die, God’s promise of forgiveness through faith in Christ made to you in baptism and in the word shall never pass away. When that final day occurs there will no longer be a tick tock passing of time that is bad news for you. And even in this moment you are being kept safe in Christ. For you are his redeemed and adopted child. In the interim, until that Day comes…you have two things before you. One, your life is hidden in Christ through faith. Faith, that trust that God’s promise of salvation and peace is yours now and forever because Christ suffered and died for you. One day you will experience the fully developed fruit of this faith. Now you have the baby banana, but then you shall have the full ripened banana with all its banana goodness! And the other thing you have before you, you live in your neighbor through acts of love. Serving the needs of both friend and foe just as the Lord laid down his life for you—because of his sheer favor.

2021 Fic Recap!

WHAT A YEAR AM I RIGHT. I wrote a lot in 2021 and I keep trying to remember that because I keep feeling like I wasn't productive enough, which is just ye olde anxiety having a go. so here is everything I wrote last year! #s 2 and 3 were actually fics I started in 2019 and 2020 and finished in 2021, but they count.

anyway, I have so many beautiful and fantastic and funny things planned for 2022! but 2021 wasn't bad either. thanks for coming along for the ride!

1. easy like sunday mornings. this was really an exercise, for me, about writing consistently and about letting go of some of my anxieties regarding what's "AO3-worthy." I wrote it, dang it, and I wanted to put it somewhere. also there is something dead comforting about a nice good morning ficlet.

2. holding steady. this was actually a johnlock fic I started writing before Good Omens aired, and the last chapter had sat unfinished in my drafts for, I kid you not, more than three years. never say never! I finished it!

3. like lightning. started this in 2020, finished this in 2021, now we are here. Crowley got to be a spooky boy. I played in this one with a lot of perspective switching and I really enjoyed it.

4. the thirteenth night. asking the question: what happens in a haunted house if the ghosts get sick of you and your pining bullshit?

5. Dessert First. collab baby!! I wrote chapter 2. the loves of my life wrote the other chapters. it's tasty business, you should read it.

6. the absentee angel. technically, it's never too late to post an awake-the-snake fic. this one was fun! i wrote the same chapter twice: one in my usual style, and the second in a "children's book" style.

7. seems nice. this fic is a great example of how long things take me. I started this fic draft in June 2019, and it finally posted April 2021. I just have to let go of my anxieties sometimes about these long timelines and let the fics live!

8. the tin soldier. written for the @blissfulimperfectionzine, Aziraphale's true form is the armor we see in Wessex. that's right kids, he was naked.

9. rumors (and other things that thrive in the dark). written for the @unleashthechaoszine. the origin of the fucking shit up jacket.

10. truth (and other things that thrive in the light). written for the sexy version of the unleash the chaos zine. fucking shit up jacket, my beloved.

11. the nice list. written for @chamyl's filthy advent calendar for the prompt: just the tip. Aziraphale's making a list and checking it twice.

12. statuesque. 666 words of Crowley being a little shit. what's not to love.

13. worth celebrating. this was my birthday gift from me to fandom - Crowley has a birthday!

14. blue jeans, white shirt. I'm kind of a sucker for fics about A/C and all the humans getting together and being a family. there's also sex on a beach later.

15. being comfy. Aziraphale's kink is Crowley being cozy. I'm sure that surprises exactly zero people.

16. side effects. ah, migraine fic, my own heart. it took me five years to write this fic, but I did it.

Good Omens fandom, thanks for being here this last year. I love you. I can't wait to see what 2022 brings.

#good omens #ineffable husbands #darcy writes ineffably #fic recap #16!!!! that can't possibly be right

Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Part II

Happy Solstice everyone!! It's our beloved High Lady's birthday today, so I thought how better to celebrate than with some more Feysand Christmas fluff? <3

Part I ⟡ Holiday Masterlist ⟡ Read on AO3

What arrived on Feyre’s doorstep the next morning was actually not an itinerary at all—but rather a small, wooden house, fitted with several small drawers labeled 1-25. An advent calendar, a very fancy one.

Since it was December 10, Feyre opened the first nine drawers, finding they were all filled with small, wrapped chocolates. But the tenth one had a note alongside the treat, which read Christmas Cookies, 3:30 pm.

Feyre couldn’t help but notice it was scrawled in a different hand than the first note that had been left for her—this was neater, more swirling and feminine.

The note didn’t provide a location, so at 3:30 on the dot, she was knocking on Rhysand’s door.

To her surprise, she was received by a squealing blonde woman who threw her arms around Feyre as if they'd been best friends their whole lives. Trying to contain her surprise at such familiarity, Feyre offered her a smile. “Hi.”

“Hello—you must be Feyre! Rhys has told me it’s our job to give you the best Christmas of your entire life. Certainly no pressure there, you’re in great hands. I’m Mor, by the way.”

She couldn’t help but laugh at the raw excitement that bubbled off her. Admittedly, it was quite infectious. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mor.”

“Come in!” She said, pushing the door wide. “The cookies are just cooling now—Cass is making the frosting. Oh, do let him know if you have any color requests. I hear you’re an artist? You’re probably going to blow our cookie decorating out of the water!”

“My experience with cookie decorating is pretty minimal,” she admitted with a shy smile, following Mor into the kitchen.

Her eyes landed first on the mountain of a man who stood behind one of the counters, wearing an apron that was meant to make its wearer look as though they were wearing Santa lingerie, exposing a generous amount of cleavage. The visual effect would have perhaps worked better on someone smaller, but on Cass, to whom the apron was exceedingly small, the proportions of the body were hilariously misaligned.

Another man walked in, similar in height and stature to Cass. He too was wearing an apron. This one was all black, save for the red print that said kiss my baubles, beside a pair of hanging Christmas ornaments. When he saw Feyre’s stare, he offered a small, quiet smile.

“Do you like our aprons?” Cass asked with a laugh, noticing what had caught Feyre’s attention. “They were Mor’s gift last year. Rather suit us, don’t you think? I’m Cassian, by the way. This is Az.”

“They’re certainly eye catching,” Feyre answered. “Now I’m practically dying to see what’s on Rhysand’s apron.”

The fiendish grin that lit Cassian’s face should have told her enough.

“Talking about me already?” Someone purred behind her. She turned to find Rhys, grinning like a wolf in his white apron, which read Jingle my bells, I’ll give you a white Christmas.

“Wow,” Feyre said, because it was truly the only word she could muster.

Cassian and Az began howling with laughter from where they stood behind the counter, and Rhys at least looked bashful.

“I’ll have you know—I’m wearing this apron purely out of cousinly duty. Christmas is the only time of year I get to sport this glorious gift, even if it scandalizes the beautiful women I invite over.”

Feyre scoffed. “I’m not scandalized. It’s just—it’s quite the proposition.”

That wolfish grin returned. “Are you considering it?”

“I’ll stick to the more traditional method of just crossing my fingers and hoping for snow, but thanks for the offer.”

Mor snatched two aprons from the table, smiling. “Don’t worry Feyre, we have one for you, too, so you don’t feel left out.”

“Oh, goody,” she said, accepting the apron and nervously unfolding it. Santa’s favorite Ho. She supposed it was less offensive than Mor’s, at least, which said Eat my Christmas cookie, with an arrow pointing between her thighs.

“I’m not sure why, but I expected baking Christmas cookies to be more… wholesome.”

“Aside from our suggestive aprons, I assure you the rest of today will be exceedingly wholesome.” Rhys said.

Cass snorted. “If you can call getting rip-roaring drunk while making cookies wholesome.”

“You don’t have to get drunk,” Rhys said. “And you don’t have to wear the apron, if you don’t want to. Today’s just about having fun.”

Feyre shrugged, slinging the apron over her neck and tying it at the back. “I suppose I wouldn’t be Santa’s favorite Ho if I didn’t get at least a little tipsy while making cookies.”

Mor cheered, throwing her hands in the air. “Oh, you’re going to fit right in! What would you like to drink? Hot chocolate? Wine? Eggnog? Liquor? The boys will probably drink scotch because they want to look impressive.”

“How anyone can look impressive in those ridiculous aprons is beyond me,” said another voice, belonging to a short women with black hair and piercing eyes. She held a glass of red wine between her fingers and settled at the kitchen table with a vulpine smile. “Don’t feel pressure to rise to their antics—I certainly don’t.”

“This is Amren,” Cass introduced. “Think of her as the grumpy house cat that sticks around because we feed her.”

With the daggers she sent toward him, that description certainly felt believable.

“They tell me you’re a grinch,” Amren said to Feyre, blood red lips pressed into a feint smile. “I say stay that way, it makes you more interesting. The last thing we need is another Christmas maniac around here. You can sit and drink wine with me.”

“Oh, hush, Amren. We don’t need more grumpy house cats,” Mor said, shooting the woman a menacing look. “Feyre’s going to love Christmas by the time we’re through.”

It sounded an awfully lot like a threat. Amren raised her browns, then looked past Mor to meet Feyre’s eyes. “You might want to start drinking now.”

“What would you like to drink, Feyre darling?” Rhys asked at her ear, trying desperately to redirect the conversation, it seemed. “We have plenty of nonalcoholic drinks, as well.”

She offered her own sly smile. “If I ask for scotch, will you think me impressive as well?”

“I’d think you impressive regardless of what you choose to drink,” he answered, grinning. He had a smooth tongue, she could give him that much.

Cassian, meanwhile, slid her a glass of neat scotch and challenged, “If you’re going to talk big game, princess, you might as well back it up.”

In truth, Feyre had said it in jest, but with the combined eyes of everyone in the room she wasn’t one to back down. So she accepted the glass, shot Cassian a smirk, a took a long, unflinching sip.

“Men are so dramatic,” she said, setting the glass back down. “Thanks for the drink.”

Mor threw her head back and laughed. “Oh, I like you very much, Feyre. Come, sit with me.”

The blond grabbed Feyre by the arm and pulled her to the table, across from Amren, who was watching her with newfound respect.

“I do appreciate that there’s another woman around to help keep the boys in check,” she said, lips tugging in amusement.

“Oh—you three just like to bully us,” Cassian complained from where he was filling the piping bags with frosting, Az quietly helping beside him.

“And you make it so terribly easy,” Mor teased. Rhys came by, setting a glass of wine in front of Mor before he slid into the seat next to Feyre, his own scotch in hand.

“Ignore the bickering, darling. I know I do. Why don’t you tell us a bit about yourself?”

“What would you like to know?” Feyre asked evasively, ever reticent to delve too deeply into her personal life. She watched as Az and Cass carried over the bags of frosting and trays of cookies.

“Are you single?”

Mor immediately sent an elbow into Cassian’s side, hissing to him about being nosy.

Cassian, she was quickly learning, was the most shameless of the group. Rhys did a good job at pretending he was indifferent to her answer as he began plying Feyre with piping bags and cookies, but she noticed the way his eyes lingered on her face, hopeful.

“Yes,” she answered, raising her brows. It was glaringly obvious that she was—otherwise, why would she be here? The terms of the bargain were that he’d get a date if he won.

“Isn’t that interesting? Our brother Rhysand just also happens to be single—”

Rhys cut Cassian a sharp look. “I’m doing just fine without your clumsy attempts at being my wingman.”

Ah. They were mocking him. And by the way Rhysand’s cheeks were burning, it was obviously working. She smirked at the revelation.

“With an apron like that, I’m surprised there’s not a whole line of women at your door.”

He hummed noncommittally, playing at being focused on his cookie as he smeared a glob of white icing over it. “Just one woman will do.”

There was something implicative in his tone that she didn’t want to spend too long analyzing, so she grabbed a piping bag and began icing a cookie without much thought, tracing the outline of a snowman.

She’d never put much effort into Christmas cookies. Her attempts at baking them from scratch always turned into a disaster before she could get to the decorating step. But she was finding that she enjoyed the challenge of trying to make art out of the limited space and colors.

The others continued chatting, but the conversation became background noise to Feyre as she narrowed her focus on the task at hand, only stopping once she noticed those striking eyes were settled on her.

“What?” she murmured, sparing him only a cursory glance before she returned to painstakingly piping a textured beard onto her santa shaped cookie.

“Nothing,” he answered, quietly, so that the conversation remained between the two of them. “It’s just—I was admiring your concentration.” He lifted her snowman cookie to get a closer look at the detail she added to its scarf. “Your skill set clearly translates, these are the best decorated cookies we’ve ever had in this house.”

It was ridiculous to feel elated by his praise. Judging by the effort the rest of the table was putting into their decorating—with Mor far more interested in chatting, Cassian in eating, and Amren hardly touching her plate of cookies—the benchmark was low.

There was an earnesty, though, in the way Rhys was looking at her, that tempted a blush on Feyre’s cheeks. She’d blame it on the scotch.

“You can have that one then,” she offered. “As a thank you for having me.”

“A thank you though you’re technically bargain bound to be here,” he mused, looking touched despite his words, staring at the cookie as though it were a gift of much higher caliber. “I’m honored.”

“Bargain bound makes it sound so much uglier,” Feyre said, scrunching her nose in distaste. “I’m not here against my will. I’ve had fun, Rhys.”

Not a single star in the sky could have compared to the way his eyes lit up at her admission. Though she couldn’t comprehend why it mattered so much to him that she enjoyed her Christmas, bargain aside, Feyre had to admit it was endearing. No one had ever put so much effort into making her happy, nor treated it as an achievement to make her so.

“Day 1 is off to a great start then,” he said, grinning.

“A lot can go wrong in two weeks.”

She didn’t know why she said it. Only that there was a spark of hope in her chest, this lovely glowing ember, and all at once she felt the urge to stomp it out lest it grow too big and burn her. Rhysand seemed like someone who wasn’t afraid of being burned, and that was somehow more terrifying still.

He only shrugged, the praise not ruined by the pessimism. “A lot can go right, too.”

Feyre wasn’t sure which outcome frightened her more.
