Rules/Guidelines
Tag @choicesfandomappreciation and #ChoicesFanworksDay
While the theme is "10", you do not have to include 10. I will share/promote any fanworks that tag me for this event.
Because I know me and I know I'm not alone, one day events are SO hard with our busy schedules so while the official day is February 15, I'm hosting our event through Sunday, the 18th.
Be Kind!
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions to make it better! I look forward to a great event!
Shoutout to @peonyblossom for bringing the event to my attention!

Rogue/Gambit Week 2024
Hey y’all!
It’s time for what y’all have been waiting for—Rogue/Gambit Week 2024. We’re looking forward to a great week celebrating our favorite Southern couple. Here’s the information you’ll need to participate.
Rogue/Gambit Week 2024 will be held June 16-23, 2024. Yes, that’s right, we plan to have eight days of full of Romy goodness.
Prompts:
Day 1 - Sunday, June 16 - Alternate First Meeting | Robin Hood AU
Day 2 - Monday, June 17 - Roof Top | Steampunk AU
Day 3 - Tuesday, June 18 - MojoWorld | Merfolk AU
Day 4 - Wednesday, June 19 - Rogue and Gambit are physically separated | Fantasy AU
Day 5 - Thursday, June 20 - Legacy as a Concept or Character | Noir AU
Day 6 - Friday, June 21 - Space Adventure | Pirates AU
Day 7 - Saturday, June 22 - Reunion | Power/Role Swap or No Powers AU
Day 8 - Sunday, June 23 - Free day!
Alternate Prompts
Alt 1 - T-shirt Collection
Alt 2 - Hair—Braiding/brushing/cutting/etc.
Alt 3 - Vow Renewal
Rules:
This is a celebration of all things Romy! Your fanworks may cover any point of their relationship—from their early flirtations to their life together as an old married couple, from friendship to lovers.
Rogue and Gambit do not need to be in a romantic relationship (friendship is great too!), but their relationship should be the primary focus.
Feel free to draw inspiration from any medium which they appeared (the comics (any corner of the Multiverse), the animated series (XtAS, WatX, Evo), the movies, etc.)
Please tag your posts #rogue/gambitweek2024 or #rogue/remyweek2024 within the first five(5) tags so they can be easily found and re-blogged on the Rogue/Gambit Week blog. You may also tag our posts @roguegambitweek . (This often makes finding posts easier).
Fanworks are not limited to fanfic, fanart, and fanedits. However you create, that is also a part of what makes a fanworks week successful. Yes, fic, art, and edits are the most common, but I’ve seen amazing fanworks accomplished in other ways. In our fist year a short video was shared concerning what Gambit keeps in his pockets. In another fandom, I’ve seen someone share why a particular musical score reminded them of the couple. I’ve seen people make text conversations between characters focused around that day’s prompt. Handcrafts, music, photography, cosplay, and countless other creative ventures can also be part of a fanworks week. Have fun creating. Please feel free to share your talents and Romy-love with us.
The fanworks you share should be created by you.
Any NSFW content must be placed under a ‘read more’ break, otherwise it will not be re-blogged.
You don’t need to post something for every day/every prompt. Feel free to participate in as many days as you you feel inspired. If you have created something, but are unable to post it on the assigned day, please post it when you can. It will still be re-blogged.
You may combine days (as in cover two or more prompts with the same entry).
‘Regular’ prompts may be set in an AU universe. ‘AU’ prompts could be set in a canon universe. Let your creativity run wild and have fun with the prompts.
Have fun. Try something new. Create something new for an old favorite. Remember, the goal here is to share the Romy love and create more Romy content for all of us to enjoy.
If you have any questions, please feel free to send an ask.
Have fun creating!

Celebrating Hitman Fanworks
Since I missed International Fanworks Day, I’m posting about it now 😁
The Hitman fandom is comprised of so many amazingly talented people. Their passion in celebrating the Hitman series goes to incredibly creative lengths, including (but certainly not limited to) animations, let’s plays, GIFs, screenshots, fanfiction, fanart, playlists, crafts, and more. I wanted to make a post recognizing many of these wonderful people and link some of my favorite fanworks of theirs through the years. (Please note: Tumblr kept breaking with so many links, so I had to paste some fanart links as plain text!)
And I know there are more awesome people out there still for me and others to discover—comment/reblog and let us know who they are! ❤️

Your sweet selfishness
AO3 / Commissions / Links /
Warnings: hurt/comfort, feeling of worthlessness, none (?)
Summary: Crowley thinks he doesn't earned to be happy
And his Angel deserves someone else, someone better.
However, Aziraphale reassures him, it's not the case.
This story is for @giosnape <3
Line art is mine:)
All of you, please know that you are enough and loved!<3
The Moon was hanging on the sky,
With her beautiful light,
She was showering her beloved stars,
No clouds were chasing on the dark canvas,
The shining orbits were decorating with enchant,
It was a peaceful, quiet night,
The one you long for with delight.
The air was filled with the cosy smell,
That autumn brings with itself.
There were a few lovely pairs,
Enjoying the cool evening air,
They were enjoying their silly talks,
So didn't notice a puffy man,
Running errands in his outlet.
He was in the bookshop of his,
In Soho on Berwick Street.
The windows were beaming bright,
Even tho the shop was closed.
Aziraphale was the owner of this shop,
Which gave home to many rare books.
The angel was now cleaning up,
And making tea for his beloved one.
Oh my dear boy!
Crowley has been weird lately,
He looks at me sweet but sad,
And when he thinks I’m not looking,
He looks so depressed.
Something has been eating up his soul,
But when I ask, he says no.
He has been spoiling me with his pretty yellow eyes,
And buying everything I like,
There is a longing and something tense,
In his shoulders when I hold his hand.
I see, how he wants to be saccharine,
But when he tries,
It looks like,
Invisible ropes hold him tight.
I can't bear to see him in this misery,
I need to do something to resolve this!
– These were the worried thoughts of Azi,
While finishing their cups of tea.
He closed and finished everything,
Switched off the lights,
And turned towards their bedchambers.
He lightly hopped on the stairs,
Seeing there is no gleam upstairs.
The Demon with the ruby head,
Was lying in their bed,
Him and his Angel has been a couple,
For at least a year now,
It’s been 6000 years,
Since he allowed his snake-like gaze,
To settle on the other’s glow,
His home-y, and tender presence,
Seemed to welcome Crowley’s existence,
He is the entire universe in my eyes,
While me a mere star,
He is all the light and warmth,
I thought could never feel again,
…. Or rather don’t have the right,
To feel such a loving sign.
What am I? A failure.
Someone, who can’t do their job accurate
Doesn’t matter, if I’m in Up or in Hell,
I’ll always shatter.
– From his inner disarray,
He stared outside the window frame,
He saw all the stars,
He once painted bright.
They were sparkling in the night,
Singing there lullabies,
— I don’t understand what he sees,
I’m not the Angel who once been,
Now looking at my design,
I realise,
How broken am I.
He deserves so much more, better
Not this shattered shell.
… I’m unforgivable,
A creature of the dark,
A fallen one.
— He kept staring at the night,
Lying in the dark,
He has been in Heaven,
Since him and Angel been together,
He could forget all the pain and fright,
And let himself being giddy for a while.
With the simple word “Love”,
It’s impossible to describe his devotion to his God.
If he was a little ant,
Then Aziraphale the mountain ahead.
Yet,
He felt he has to give in,
The only glee in his being.
He is too good, too nice,
To be with someone so immoral.
He deserves all the fondness in the world,
But not from me I’m sure.
I worth noting,
And—
In this moment,
He heard steps coming up the stairs,
And turning on his side,
He saw Him in his eternal light.
As the Angel reached the door,
He listened a little more,
All was silent and depressed,
He felt Love but it was sad.
I don’t understand,
Every time he is here,
He is in Love and glow,
Why did this change then?
He stepped into the dark room,
But all he could see was a human shaped form on the bed.
“But My! This room is a maze of murkiness,
Tut tut.. Let’s open the window to the fresh peaceful night,
Because it seems like you need a little delight.”
“I’m fine Angel!
Really am,
Just needed a little rest.”
“I put down the hot cup of tea, I made a few seconds before for thee,
Thy mood will be better after you drank the warm comfort and lighting a lamp is the key”
– Since Crowley didn't move,
Azi lifted his hand to turn on the lamp,
Which was sitting on the bedside table next to them.
He moved slowly to the bed,
And climbed next to the Serpent.
“Now dear Crowley,
Please tell me,
What’s bothering you?
And don’t tell me nothing!
I can see and feel something.”
“Angel it's.. It's noth-- I mean–”
“Was it me who did something?
If I did, let me do the dancing–”
“You?! No!!
You are perfect as you are,
The most precious being alive,
So beautiful and kind,
No!
It is I”
“You?
You did nothing wrong dear,
Recently in fact,
You’ve been the sweetest boyfriend I’ve ever had!
(And you are the first and only one, my dearest)”
“Don’t you understand?”
– Crowley started sobbing at this point,
Hiding his face with an army of pillows,
“I am the Fallen Angel,
The Serpent of Eden,
Who is a failure in every task!
I can’t pull you down into this shame,
You deserve someone,
Who is full and frame. “
— With that, the demon with the burning hair,
Was pulled into a warm embrace,
A gentle voice filled the room,
And love seemed to bloom.
“Don’t say such things my beloved,
You are the Sun,
On a cold winter day,
My burning flame.
You are treasured in my eyes,
The shiniest Ruby in the dark,
You sacrificed so much for me,
Now it's your time to be selfish.”
– Said Aziraphale with a smoothing tone,
And if it's possible, hold him more close.
Time seemed to slow and stop,
The tensed silence changed into a sheltered one,
Their heartbeats danced along,
In an Austen-Ball like fashion.
The Snake-Eyed man continued to weep,
His chest was so full of the feeling de-stress,
It was impossible to be contained.
The tears fall like the ocean on Noe’s back,
Making the Angel’s coat wet,
With every tear he felt relieved,
And clinged harder to the Holy Being.
They stayed there, which seemed like an eternity,
But it couldn't be more than an hour in reality.
“Maye you are right,
Sometimes it's nice to be selfish,
….. But I’m still not nice”
– Crowley’s voice sinked into sleepiness,
And moved closer to his dearest,
The two cups long forgotten,
Stood on the bedside stool,
Covering the pair with their aromas.
The Moon and her Stars were smiling on the sky,
Shielding the couple with their light.
They fell asleep in each other’s arm,
With no concern in their hearts,
The Angel,
Who once Fell from the sky,
Felt happy and safe for the first time,
In 6000 years since the Beginning of Time.
In his dream he smiled,
While the nightly orbis continued their lullabies.
Thank you for reading!<;3
