This year I ended up writing six stories in five fandoms: one original assignment, three pinch hits, and two treats. I'd written in only one of the fandoms before...for Yuletide last year. (Well, if you don't count the Olympics RPF which is a really broad category.) All were an absolute delight!


Assignments

Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. for faviconsophieisgod [Weekend (2011), Russell/Glen, explicit]
It wasn't that Russell never thought about Glen, about what he'd done across the pond with his life and his career and his everything. But it still took him off guard to hear from him again, even just a postcard. [3702 words]

I have never ever ever matched my recipient on more than one fandom before, so I was determined to write stories for both of them. However, my story for the other request (in Fresh Meat) kept growing and growing and so now it's likely going to be posted as a NYR story some time in February. :) But this one, this one got done. The request was for a Before Sunset-like follow up to Weekend's Before Sunrise, which I though was just a gorgeous idea.

Les Chevaliers for faviconfavolefata [Trinity (TV 2009), Jonty/Ross]
It was all because of Dorian, as things so often were. [4682 words]

Trinity was, frankly, a ridiculous show and it's no surprise it didn't get a second series, but I was totally addicted to it and David Oakes and Tom Hughes play a couple in it that basically is the emotional heart of the show and completely transcends the ridiculousness around them. Now that I've written them once, I kind of want to do it again.

Posh Top for faviconbetternovembers [Fresh Meat, JP/Giles, implied Oregon/Vod]
JP owned the house now, which meant he was under no obligation to wait to take a housemate vote before he offered Giles the top floor room. [3866 words]

I am generally all about the Oregon/Vod in this fandom, but I loved the introduction of Giles in series 2 and the whole process that JP went through (because I am all about actual queer characters in canon) and I was so disappointed they never really followed up on it. Well, yet.

What They Say About Sequels for faviconlightgetsin [Threesome (UK TV), Alice/Mitch/Richie, explicit]
They were really doing it this time. They were really going to have another baby. The only question was how. [3490 words]

What the recipient said about this fandom in her request is exactly how I felt about it: the show hits my embarrassment squick hard sometimes, and yet I love it and I love them.


Treats

Flying the Coop for faviconJenNova [Threesome (UK TV), Alice/Mitch/Richie, but mostly Lily]
Leaving the flat to go to uni shouldn't have been quite this traumatic. Not for Lily, who'd been packed for days and was more than ready to start spreading her wings, but for everyone else. [1071 words]

Because once I wrote Lily as a preschooler, it was a very small step to want to write her leaving for university, and the prompt was pretty much for exactly that. :)

Babel for faviconeudaimon [Olympics/Paralympics RPF, Trevor Hirschfield]
Trevor never did really do casual sex anyway, even before he was involved; the logistics are just too tricky for someone who doesn't know him very well, and honestly, it always gets better with experimentation and practice anyway which you just don't get with a one night stand. [1033 words]

Yeah, Ruth guessed I wrote this one before she even read it, I think. But Trevor! Trevor is awesome, y'all.


And In Conclusion

A huge, huge thank you to faviconlorax and faviconstoriesfortravellers for writing for me this year! You can see me rave about their stories here.

Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.
Not only did you write a Week End story, but you actually wrote a great one : I'm kissing your feet right now .
