"Someone’s coming.” Peter grabbed his father’s wrist and stopped him from rounding the corner. They stood in the shadow and watched Charles and Hank walk by. The two were deep in conversation and didn’t pay Erik and Peter any attention.
“Now.” Peter checked again, and they continued their way to his room without any more incidents.
Erik locked the door with a flick of his wrist while Peter already spread the goods on his bed. That was when they both heard Charles’ annoyed voice in their heads: “Hiding doesn’t help against telepathy. Give everything back and then meet with me.”

This turned out so beautiful! Thank you so much 💜
“Harsh Autumn Days”
Gift for @42donotpanic for the prompt “knit blanket”
At first I thought about hot chocolate and comfy blankets but I wanted to give it the #fratt edge so it turned out to be Frank patching Matt up after some battle. I’d like to think that DD’s clothes got wet and he’s cold. So Frank just pulled the most fluffiest knit blanket over the devils head. =)Hope you like it!
[Image Description: Black and white sketch of the Punisher cleaning Daredevil’s wounds. Frank is kneeling before a sitting Matt and cleaning his wounded knuckles with a cotton pad. Matt has several bandages already on his body and has a big knitted blanket pulled over his head and shoulders, gripping onto it with his other hand. Daredevil also still has his helmet and pants an.]

Clintasha? Check. Fluffy bullshit? Check. Angsty as hell? Check. I could have used this opportunity to read something new but no, I love this too much, take the promo you're given and go read To See the Bruises by @42donotpanic.
'Clint Barton, Agent of SHIELD is sent on a very simple mission: Find the Black Widow, make sure she doesn't blow anything up and take her out. But what actually happened is a totally different story.'
It was written for us because Panic& and us are absolute idiots and decided to write for one another's OTPs, and I love this even more than I expected. Show it some love so I get more chapters! <3
Thank you @loki-is-my-kink-awakening for coming up with this!

Writing Reflection
After getting into writing last year I went mildly to totally insane this year. I wrote more than I even thought possible, already upped my writing goal in January after writing like 30k on WIPs alone in two weeks, only to then end up hitting my yearly writing goal in September anyway.
I got into Podfic this year and it has brought me a lot of joy to work on recording and editing, as well as to participate in even more challenges and exchanges than I did last year.
Once again, I met a lot of lovely people and had a great time writing and simply enjoying fandom with people I like to consider friends by now.
There were many ups and downs, but I'm glad to say that, over all, this year was a good one for me.
I hope you had a good year as well and wish everyone a good start into the New Year. 💜
Tagging: @stripedscribe @ravenmold @cnwolf-brainrot @mutuallyprime @flowerparrish and everyone else who sees this and would like to participate!
yk what i hate though. is when i find a meme and im like THIS IS SO [cool intimidating mutual i never talk to] I SHOULD SEND IT TO THEM but then i remember ive never talked to them ever and so i cant just like give them a meme out of the blue and so the meme just withers and rots in my camera roll 😔
I finished my first sweater! It’s not perfect–I need to take in the sleeves, for starts–but given that it’s my first ever and I gridded out the text from scratch, I’m really damn proud of it.
Fair Isle grid below, for anyone who wants to use it. Ignore the pencil marks–this was scanned mid-project:
This year (for the 2024 reading year) we decided to put together a list of 1-5 fics per reader who chose to contribute their favourite reads from throughout the year and share them with you! The list is wildly eclectic, but I have faith in them that they're excellent reads and I may even be trying out some new fandoms next year as a result! I do hope you find something you like!
Part One | Part Two
Juuls: I tried to find the authors’ handles on Tumblr but if I got you wrong, just let me know and it’s a quick fix! 😘😊 If you happen to know the handle of a fic mentioned, let me know as well! ❤️💙💜
Orchards by winlatter
Relationship: Harry/Ginny
This fic is set the summer of HBP prior to Hogwarts starting with flash forwards to post series.
A look at how Harry went from seeing Ginny as Ron's little sister to something more.
The Victors' Project by oisin55
A story for every victor (The Hunger Games), not compatible with Songbirds and Snakes.
The best piece of fanfiction I have ever read.
tell all the truth (but tell it slant) by susiecarter
Relationship: Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne
A fake dating fic that was so good it left me flabbergasted. I don't even ship this, i am not even in this fandom, but holy shit this was one of the best things i have ever read.
In tales or in history by @bisquared
Relationship: Bard/Thranduil
A 1001 nights AU.
Ship-to-ship combat by @pomeloquat
Relationship: Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne
The one where Clark starts writing Batman/Bruce Wayne fanfiction to pay his rent and accidentally falls in love with Bruce Wayne while being hung up over Batman.
Ni Partayli, Gar Darasuum (I Remember You, So You Are Eternal) by LeeTheHobbit
Fandom: Star Wars/The Mandalorian
A time travel fix-it, where The Mandalorian and friends accidentally travel back in time and land in the middel of the Battle on Korda VI.
crimson rivers by @bizarrestars
Fandom: Harry Potter/Marauders era
Rating: Explicit (not so much for sex, though it's present; more for violence, etc)
Relationship: James Potter/Regulus Black and Sirius Black/Remus Lupin
So well written, one of my fave characteristizations of Remus, Sirius, and Wolfstar in general.
orange juice (i've been ready for you to come home for so long) by @raggedyponnd
Fandom: Harry Potter/Marauders era
Relationship: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin
Not Rated
Wonderful writing, emotions, some of my favorite tropes and disabled/chronically ill Remus and rep is so so important to me.
love finds a way by @littleoldrachel
Fandom: Harry Potter/Marauders era
Relationship: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin.
Jurassic Park crossover, getting back together trope, trans and disabled Remus. I didn't want to put this down!!
Rescue Me by @welfycat
Fandom: CSI: Las Vegas.
I read this fandom blind and it's such an amazing case-fic that it made me get into the show.
Cambion by callowyn (@cambionverse) & @thegeminisage
Fandom: Supernatural
Explores minor characters from the show that were left behind and it's so so good.
The Sword Reforged by Ardil the Traveller
Fandom: The Legend of Zelda
Rating: T
Rec notes: An epic reimagining of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It's an excellent fix-it fic, still in progress, but the author is very driven to get it finished, one week at a time.
Dream Girl by Teorwyn
Fandom: The Legend of Zelda
Rating: T
Relationship: Link/Marin
Rec notes: A novelization of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, with a twist: Marin realises she's in the Wind Fish's dream.
Hanging By a Thread by Arwriter
Fandom: Batman
Rating: NR
Rec notes: I'll let the summary speak for itself. Great angst-with-a-happy-ending even fandom-blind. "He pushed his way through the rickety hallway, shoving open the basement door and taking the steps two at a time. Only to freeze at the bottom, breath catching in his throat. They'd hung his brother from a noose."
Missed Connections by @powerofadyingsun
Relationship: Cahir/Cirilla
Rated E, 7/7 chapters
A Modern The Witcher AU that deals with royalty with a side of ptsd thrown in. SO good. It was my first Cahir/Cirilla fic but won’t be my last because it was wonderful and I was VERY emotional reading it.
Pomegranate. by @theravenandtheartist
Relationship: Wednesday/Xavier
Rated T, 1/1 chapters
Wednesday is perfectly in character. Xavier is adorkable. And honestly, I just have a unhealthy love for Hades and Persephone. So while this is NOT a Greek Myth AU, the mythology does play into the story and I loved how it was done.
Folie à Deux by @cypresssunns
Relationship: Marta/Ransom -
Rated E, 1/1 chapters
A super delightful Knives Out fic. It is a “Marriage of Convenience/Ransom remains a sociopath but Marta kinda likes him like that” kinda fic. It was delightful and if you’re into co-dependency and couples where no one is really a good person - this is the fic for you!
our bodies are made of celestial light by @starlightafterastorm
Relationship: Osha/Qimir
Fandom: The Acolyte/Star Wars — Rated M, 3/3 chapters
Did you say SOULMATES?! Yes. Red string of fate. It’s absolutely gorgeous. My particular fave is how Qimir is written. Perfectly in character with what we got in The Acolyte. Just delish. AND soulmates. SO good. 10/10 would/will read again.
The Five Stages of Neighborly Affection wirtten by phonecallfromgod & youshallnotfinditso, and read by AlannaLioness (Fic and Podfic included).
Rating: T
Relationship: Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson, Stephanie Brown/Tim Drake, Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent.
One of my favourite fics, with a whole lot of identity shenanigans, a mystery… and Foggy, who is just done with Vigilantes.
the head doesn't always rule the heart written and read by @flowerparrish
Rating: M
Relationship: Matt Murdock/Sam Winchester
A very cute and fluffy Soulmate 'verse that focuses on falling in love the old fashioned way and makes me squeal happily every time I listen to it.
A Thousand Paper Cranes written by @missmoochy
Rating: G
Relationship: Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson
A sweet, slightly angsty fic about being too late and missing out on a chance.
Different Kinds of Love written by myself (Series)
Rating: Main fic is rated T, the oneshots are rated E.
Relationship: Clint Barton/Matt Murdock, Matt Murdock/Natasha Romanov.
A series about Love and how it can take different shapes and forms.
we stopped kissing the tar on the highway (I’d like it if you stayed) by thepinkcallalily — tumblr: @razzledazzledee
Betting warmth against the cold (all the bruises seem to surface) by elareine — tumblr: @elareine
Fake Out by redbirdandbluebird23 — tumblr: @redbirdandbluebird23
Détraquée - Hystaracal
Harry Potter - Draco/Hermione - M - 728,097 words
One small thing Hermione does differently in 6th year leads to an avalanche of changes. This is easily one of the best fics I have ever read, and it completed posting this year. It's Hermione-centric but eventual dramione, told from her perspective (and therefore unreliable and full of her mental quirks), and I spent every update enraptured by the poesy of the writing style.
Peeta Mellark's Five Favorite Things to Bake - aimmyarrowshigh
The Hunger Games - Gen, but mild Katniss/Peeta, Annie/Finnick - T - 2,348 words
A study of Peeta during and after the Games, with the additional perspective time can give. This is a very short read but has so much packed into it. It's bittersweet but so, so filling.
my love, all we'll ever be is a tragedy - irridescence
Avatar: The Last Airbender - Katara/Zuko - T - 16,747 words
In which Zuko dies, goes back in time, and tries again. This one is full angst, but so beautifully written you almost don't care that you're crying about it all.
Fresh Blood (series) by @babygotbooks
Fandom: Wednesday (2022)
Relationship: Wednesday/Xavier
Rated E, 7/7 chapters in the series, and 4 stories overall, complete
Gothic Romance with serial killer!Xavier and cannibal!Wednesday in which Wednesday needs to consume human flesh in order to survive and sustain her life force and the subsequent tale that follows from their teen to adult years. (This can easily be used as a “coming-of-age,” character AU, or universe/story AU to complete the challenge requirement, or character has mental-illness such as PTSD.)
Put The Heat On by @darnold-longkid
Fandom: Hey Arnold!
Helga Pataki/Arnold Shortman – E, 23/23 chapters — (All characters are age 18+ and high school seniors)
A very horny Shortaki fic with a lot of heart. In which Arnold accident finds himself unintentionally playing the voyeur to Helga without her knowledge. Now he can’t stop thinking about her. Too bad he messed up their friendship last year, and she refuses to have anything to do with him.
(Perfect for tasks that need stories with ships of 75K words or more, most popular fic/ship fic in fandom, or a fic that references one of the five senses. Also perfect for classic “childhood friends,” “Enemies-to-lovers,” “Rivals-to-lovers,” “Friends-to-enemies-to-lovers,” or any combination thereof. Or a fandom that has not produced any canon content in the last 5 years (excluding Nickelodeon video games and such using Arnold, Helga, and Gerald etc.))
Stacy’s Cardamom by @babsvibes
Fandom: Bob’s Burgers
(Louise/Logan – M, 2/2) (Chapter 2 is bonus scene, if strictly reading Chapter 1, rating is T and can still be read as complete story) (All characters are aged-up and grown adults.)
According to Logan Bush, Louise’s mom has got it goin’ on. Or that’s what he wants her to think. Logan Bush is back in town and is spending way too much time at the Belcher’s restaurant and way too much time with his sights set on Linda. Logan is getting under Louise’s skin, but it’s not going the way he pictured. If everyone else can see past Logan’s charade, why is Louise still so oblivious?
(You can complete several of the tasks for LGBTQIA+ characters and stories with Genderfluid!Gene and Bisexual Louise, Can be used for month/week based writing/reading challenge as one of the chapters was included as a contribution to Louigan Week 2023, a pet not typically found in the fandom’s canon, or fic that takes place ten or more years in the future, if they’re there in the 2025 sheet.)
The Spider and the Fly by GoodMourningCoffee (myself)
Fandom: Beetlejuice
(Lydia/Betelgeuse – E, 2/2) (Chapter 2 is full trigger list and playlist, Chapter 1 is full story.)
A “fix-it”/ “what-if” fic in which Betelgeuse’s plans succeed. Mixes elements of the musical and the 1988 movie, but is predominately based on the movie. A gothic “romance”, dark fic/Dead Dove fic that is absolutely morally reprehensible with Betelgeuse and Charles both being absolute villains. Check triggers.
Can be used to satisfy requirements of canon divergent, “first fic in this fandom” by established author in other fandoms, fic that passes the Bechdel Test (and possibly the Mako Mori test? Mako Mori passing is questionable depending on perspective), character whump, good guy teams up with bad guy, or read fic from 10 different kinks/tropes, or fic title that comes from a song/song title.
[Let Me Try](Series) by coldcreation: Original omegaverse, M/M/M/M. Some of my favorite filth with way more feelings than should be allowed.
[In A Family Way] by puddleofgoo. Stargate Atlantis. M/M Crackfic with poor McKay accidentally acquiring a collection of color-coded, post-it note wielding squid.
[The Right Dom for the Job] by VelvetPaw. HockeyRPF, several M/M pairings. A favorite Hockey BDSM fic from a favorite author.

not on mobile sorry but purple heart winterhawk? surprise kiss / impulsive kiss?
It took me a few days to find time to write this, but here it is: 💜 : surprise kiss / impulsive kiss for winterhawk
Clint was panting heavily, dodging a hit, and going over to the next attack in one fluid movement. It was good to train, even in the summer heat. The burning in his muscles was good compared to lying crammed into vents on endless stakeouts, like he had spent most of the last two weeks. He didn't know how long they had been going; he had noticed that the others had left at some point. But just like him, Bucky seemed like he had no intention to stop any time soon. At some point between the shooting range and the climbing part, the soldier had lost his shirt, his strong body shining with sweat, but his smile proved that he enjoyed it just as much. Clint had taken longer, but once they had started sparring, the insecurity about his scars could no longer win over the heat. They had sparred before; usually Bucky managed to bring Clint to the ground, the sheer power of his enhanced body and the metal arm winning, even over Clint's flexibility and almost a lifetime of training. But today, they were almost even. Clint's motivation and focus were on point, and for once, he didn't have any injuries he had to be mindful of. So, after a long match, he finally managed to surprise Bucky, throwing him into the mat and leaning over him triumphantly. Bucky was lying on his back, catching his breath and smirking. Clint couldn't resist; he had to kiss him for that. He had been pining over this man for way too long to not give in when the opportunity was right there. For a second, nothing happened. Clint's lips were touching Bucky's, but the soldier wasn't reacting. Then Bucky turned them over in one fluid movement, gaining control as Clint lowered his guard. Now he was looking down at the archer, and Clint was ready to wriggle out from under him and run. But instead of anger or rage, there was a sparkle of desire in Bucky's eyes, and he smirked again. "You could have just said something, doll." He breathed before crashing their mouths together in a long and heated kiss.
