Surprise, @peonyblossom! I was your secret pal for @choicesfandomappreciation!! I had fun creating this for you. I know your top 2 were It Lives related but I didn't feel confident enough to create something for them so I chose Ethan and Sydney and their fur baby, Caramel instead! I hope that I do them justice.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Tumblr media
A Cozy Christmas
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x M!MC Sydney Book: Open Heart Rating: General, all the fluffy fluf Word Count: ~400 Synopsis: Ethan, Sydney, and Caramel spent a cozy Christmas at home.
The magical morning had been a flurry of torn wrapping paper, joyous laughter, and shared moments of surprise as Ethan, Sydney, and Caramel reveled in their early morning exchange of gifts. The once pristine room was now littered with opened boxes, crumpled paper, and scattered ribbons and bows. What might have been chaos to some was a magical wonderland for one special cat.
While the men sipped on cups of steaming cocoa from the comfort of their couch, Caramel darted around the living room with wonder and glee. She pounced into each empty box, rustled the discarded paper, and swatted the loose bows across the floor playing a game entirely of her own.
Sydney chuckled, watching the cat leap from one box to another, searching like Goldilocks for the "just right" one. “Seems like Caramel found herself a new playground.”
"Caramel does seem to have found herself quite the adventure," Ethan leaned back, watching their cat.
Sydney took another slow sip, relishing the soothing warmth of the cocoa. “Who needs fancy cat toys when she’s having the time of her life with these boxes?”
"You do," Ethan insisted, his brow arching.
Sydney's gaze flickered to Ethan, innocence sparking in his eyes.
"You were quite adamant that we purchased a number of those 'fancy' Christmas toys," Ethan teased gently.
"Well, she deserves the best!" Sydney defended with a grin, trying to hold his ground.
Ethan's smile softened. "And yet, she’s chosen the boxes over everything else." He gestured toward the pile of untouched cat toys.
“Maybe on another day,” Sydney shrugged, “but right now, this feels purrrrfect."
Ethan grinned, unable to stifle a laugh. "I suppose it is."
As Caramel continued her playful antics, Ethan and Sydney found themselves drawn closer together, relaxing in one another's arms. Ethan’s hand found Sydney’s, fingers intertwining in a comforting embrace. 
“Merry Christmas, Ethan,” Sydney murmured, his voice filled with adoration.
“Merry Christmas, Sydney,” Ethan replied, a soft smile gracing his lips, one reserved solely for his husband.
As the afternoon drifted by, the trio savored the simple joy of being together. The discarded boxes became castles for Caramel as Ethan and Sydney tried to make their fur baby the best box fort ever. Laughter filled every corner of their home. When the excitement settled, Sydney found himself snuggled against Ethan on the couch, watching Caramel curl up in an empty box, content to enjoy their cozy Christmas together.

CFWC Writer of the Month - June 2023: peonyblossom
Tumblr media
Each month CFWC highlights one of our talented fanfic writers, and this month’s writer of the month is @peonyblossom We hope you will enjoy learning more about them and their work below! The writer is selected at random. More info can be found on the navigation page.
Quick Links:
Tumblr Blog: peonyblossom Blog Masterlist AO3
How do you want to be known on Tumblr? Peony, Jay, or Ethan
1- When did you start playing Choices? What was the first book you played? 
I started playing Choices when it was first introduced after I saw the promos on HSS and HWU. Ofc the first book I played was High School Story!! 
2- When and why did you join Choices fandom?
I joined the Choices fandom because of Thomas Hunt LMAO. After playing the Thomas dates in HWU, I looked him up on Tumblr to see if there was any fan content, and there was (HUGE shoutout to @lovealexhunt and @gutsfics because their works were the first ones I saw). Through following a few Thomas Hunt fan accounts, I found some other stuff in the fandom, like CFWC, and decided to read some other really popular stories, and it just snowballed lol.
3- How did you pick your blog name? 
I wanted something that wasn’t fandom-specific so I could post content for any of the many fandoms I’m in. And peonies are my favorite flower! 
4- Pull up the first post in your archive, and tell us about it!  
The first first post in my archive is a reblog of a One Direction fanfic. My first original post was about the show Miraculous Ladybug. 
5- How long have you been writing fanfiction?
Ooh. A long time. Sixth or seventh grade, so nine or ten years? 
6- What is your favorite Choices book, and what is your favorite Choices book to write about?
My favorite Choices book is America’s Most Eligible, but my favorite book to write about is Red Carpet Diaries/Hollywood U. I think I just like reading and writing about stories in the film industry since that’s what I do, lol. 
7- Share the first fanfic you wrote with us. Do you still like it, or would you change it if you were writing it today?
Waiting Game / peonyblossom / AO3
I still like it! But, if I were writing it today, I would probably make it third person instead of first. It’s still cute, though!
8- What is your favorite fic that you’ve written?
Okay, probably a tie between What If It’s Now? and Love Lost.
9- Do you have a fic that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to be but found could use a little more love?
I think there are a few I thought would’ve gotten a little more attention when I first posted them, but by now, I don’t really think that anymore. 
10- If you could write only angst, fluff, or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why? 
FLUFF. I mean, I pretty much only write fluff right now; I just love it so much! 
11- Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MCs or in your writing?
Oh yeah. I think I see myself the most in my RCD/HWU MC, Jackie. In the HWU Universe, she’s a film student, like me, and in both universes, she’s an actor, like me! 
12- What element of writing do you struggle with most?
Finding the time to do it 🥲 Other than that, probably just get started. I tend to psych myself out, especially with bigger projects. 
13- Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?
So. Many.
14- If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to read your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you recommend they read first? 
It depends on who it is, but I’d probably let them. As for what I’d recommend, it also depends on the person. Honestly, might just send them my AO3 and let them decide ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
15 - Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing? 
Probably more than I know! I’m sure there are plenty of authors who influence me subconsciously. But, I would say I tend to be influenced by classic novels like The Great Gatsby and The Picture of Dorian Gray.
16- Which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series? 
Forever Sounds Perfect! I would love to just watch Ethan propose to Sydney 🥺
17- Do you write original fiction? 
Yeah! I mostly do screenwriting, but I also do fiction and poetry writing. 
18 -  What other hobbies do you have?
Hiking, reading, and yoga!
19 - What’s your favorite emoji? 
🥰 or 🫶

what if… nonbinary trystan ? 👀
I AM LOVING IT OH MY GOD.
Non-binary Trystan just being unabashedly feminine, masculine, androgynous - I CAN PROJECT ALL OF GENDER INTO THIS LIL DUDE!
OKAY OKAY so context like I put out a poll a while ago about changing Nora and Trystan's infilitrating outfits from Chapter 2 into something else. I thought a lot for Trystan and I was like I NEED TO SEE THEM IN FUNKY DAVID BOWIE-ESQUE OUTFITS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the more I kind of think about it, the more I want Trystan to just embrace their funky fashionable side. ESPECIALLY modelled after the wonderful Mason Alexander Park (they played Desire in the Sandman and I was in lo-ove)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mags c'mon, help your sibling out
I AM LOVING THIS HEADCANON JACKIE! ugh Trystan deserves to just go full unhinged gender like right now and now this is all I can think about pb had the absolute perfect opportunity to give us a nb!Li and they fuckin' botched it like c'mon guys you were so close into putting T in these funky, punky fits and you decided to stick them with the boringest gendered suit-blazer/red top, pencil skirt EVER.
Edit 1: Now I'm tempted to write Nora x NB!Trystan. Y'know what we'll go full Spiderman Multiverse on this one.
Edit 2: more Mason pictures because this is the level I expected Trystan Thorne with their Drakovian funkiness to be:

Dear @peonyblossom,
Surprise! Looks like we matched to each other.😊
I had so much fun getting to know your characters better this past week. I've been following the adventures of Ethan and Sadie, and more recently those of Ethan and Sydney too. Both pairings are just adorable!🥰 It was a fun trip down memory lane to read up on Thomas and Jackie. RCD was the first Choices book that I fell in love with. But don't judge me...I was team Matt.🤣
I also want to tell you that I enjoy seeing your posts on my dashboard. They often bring a smile to my face.
I hope you'll like the gift I made for you. They are Valentine's cards for each of your pairings.
Happy Valentine's Day!💘
Your secret admirer ~Cari
Thomas x Jackie; Ethan x Sydney (featuring Caramel); Ethan x Sadie (plant parents); Gabe x Aislinn x Sav

Tag List Clean Up — Spring 2024
I haven't done one of these in a while... so I figured it was about time. I was going to just drop everyone who hasn't interacted with a fic in the last 3 months, but I figures I'd at least give people the option to stay if they want it.
Below the cut is my current tag list. By the end of May, I will create a new tag list based on who interacts with this post!
If you would like to stay, be added, or be moved, please let me know.
If you'd like to be removed and you haven't interacted recently, you don't have to do anything. If you want to be removed but have interacted recently (last 3 months), just let me know. No hard feelings either way!

September MC & OCs of the Month - Special Edition: Sydney Valentine
Tumblr media
Help us in welcoming September's MCs and OCs of the month! That's right, plural! Most months, CFWC highlights one randomly selected MC or OC from our Meet My MC / OC List. (More info here.) But this month, we're doing something different.
In August, @lilyoffandoms hosted a Writers Appreciation Month, and we announced the September Writer of the Month would be selected from its participants. But all participants agreed - Lily deserved the honor! Still, we wanted to do something nice for the eleven writers who elected to participate to help uplift other writers in the fandom. So, this month, each of the eleven participants will have one of their MCs or OCs highlighted.
We will introduce each MC / OC individually, and once all eleven have been highlighted, a masterlist for the month will be created. We hope you enjoy getting to know all about them!
The fourth MC of the Month is @peonyblossom's Sydney Valentine!
Learn more about Sydney below!
MC chosen: Dr. Sydney Valentine
In your own words, tell us what you like most about your MC. I genuinely cannot decide what I like most about Sydney LMAO. I just. love him. idk. 
Do you feel your MC is like you at all? How are you alike or different? I would say we’re more different than alike. Sydney loves winter/winter and snow related activities, and I just cannot handle the cold and the snow like that. He’s also more outspoken than I am. I can be outspoken when I need to be, but I like keeping to myself much more than Sydney does. Probably ’cause he’s a big extrovert, and I’m a huuuuuge introvert lol. As for things we have in common, we both like to fuck around with gender and gender expression, which is pretty cool. 
What is most important to your MC? What is their motivation in life? The most important thing to Sydney/their motivation in life is making the world (or as much of it as he can, anyway) a better and safer place for minorities, especially LGBTQIA+ people and Asian Americans, because he falls into both of those groups. As a bisexual, Korean demiboy, Sydney has dealt with some major bullshit throughout his life, and his spite motivates him. 
If your MC could change one thing - anything - what would it be? The American healthcare system
What is your MC’s favorite quote or song? Pretty Savage by BLACKPINK
Is there anything else you’d like to share about your MC? Sydney was one of the first, if not the first (I don’t really remember 😬) MC I shared in this fandom, and I love him with all my heart. I was a little nervous to be posting Ethan x m!MC because of the sheer amount of (very lovely) f!MCs in the OH fandom were a bit intimidating. I’m really glad I wrote for Sydney, though, because he is seriously such a fun character, and I love being able to contribute to the amount of Ethan x m!MC fics out there.  Dr. Sydney Valentine

Thank you for giving your time and effort into the fandom. It can be a crazy place, especially if your pairings are not heteronormative pairings. Keep up the work you do and do not be discouraged by those who do not wish to be accepting of alternative pov’s.

What are your favorite Choices books that you don't currently write for? Would you ever consider writing for them?
Oh I love this question! Thank you so much for sending this! I always get a little giddy when people ask me about my wips!
I'd write for these books in the near future, but I'm terrible at keeping promises: (under the cut because boy oh boy, it is a lonnng list)
Laws of Attraction: With the 2nd book on the tow, I really want to give LoA some more love as the one career-oriented book that hasn't disappointed me yet lol. I think once the 2nd book actually comes out and people start playing, I can start writing. So there's a lot of momentum going on in the fandom and people are talking about it. Not to mention, I want to see how Book 2 comes along (hopefully they don't butcher it like *cough* Open Heart *cough*)
Blades: I do have a Blades WIP in progress! I just have to get around to brainstorming, writing, editing and posting it. Not to mention a ton of Elven research I have to do. But it is coming, I promise. I can't wait to introduce everyone to my Blades MC! Most Wanted: The very first book I played in Choices. Sam and Dave are the OG Trystan and MC (fight me!) and with the cliffhanger of a first book and a cancelled second book, Most Wanted is pretty much dead. I'd probably write for myself for this, but I doubt anyone is out there to interact with MW content in 2022, out of all years! Wake the Dead: WTD deserves more love! Period! I was kind of disheartened there wouldn't be a sequel. WTD's just balls-to-the-walls action and I kind of want to work on writing fight scenes before writing WTD-stuff. I feel like the whole zombie-thing could've been explored, with Olympus and all and I miss my stupid team of zombie-fighters so much. Immortal Desires: There's probably a few ID fanfics going here and there and I want to jump in on the train! Now that there won't be a sequel, unfortunately, I'm free to explore my own headcanons without canon interference. Once I'm done fully catching up on ID, I think I'd write some supernatural stuff. For Hallowe'en! Omg that's a great idea! Distant Shores: There's two things I love in it: pirates and time travelling! And I really really want to write a little extension of my own DS 2. There's also a fan-project going on and I hope it comes out soon! DS is such an amazing book and so are all the LIs. Unfortunately I don't have any ongoing DS ideas just yet. It's tabled until I can properly think about it. Endless Summer: There's two things I love in it: Islands and time travelling lmao! I love ES and I wish they really continued it past the very perfect ending they gave the trilogy. The MC's fascinating and I have this crazy temptation to drop everything, write an Endless Summer 4 and leave. Until then, I'm going to be including the La Huerta gang in cameos and crossovers, because ES is taken as a true story in Mads's Literary Universe. Desire & Decorum: Now D&D already has an active writing group and I couldn't be more happier! I loved the series, I loved Hamid a lot and I really wanted to try and write some regency-era romance for a bit. Like all my ideas, it is tabled until I'm done with my current WIPs. I hope to replay D&D soon to get all that lore down (mostly for Prince Hamid) and try something different than I normally would! I write a lot of contemporary, so this would be an interesting challenge - to tackle linguistics in the 1800s.
And that's it! Under a "perfect world" scenario, I'd be able to fulfil everything, but I already have so many work-in-progresses that it is getting a little crazy to manage everything and real-life on top.
I just hope the fandom is more receptive! I think it's a no-brainer that the most active groups are Open Heart and The Royal Romance and maybe a bit of Blades and It Lives here and there. I don't want to measure success by numbers, but I still have to have people talking about it to have them take interest in my work. Sadly, I can't do anything about it! I just have to give it some time, do my part and enjoy the process. But it would be nice to wake those fandoms a little and just have all of them up & active for a while.
But I will get around to writing them. They're just ideas for now, written in spreadsheets. I might even fold them into little crossovers or cameos, if the idea's too thin to slice into or if it is a large generic concept that can find a way into other stories.
