What sort of fic do you like to write? What sort of fic do you like to read?
Smut fics; slow-burn; alternate universe.
Besides your Little Bang fic, do you have anything else in the works?

The deadlines will help me get back into writing.

No Middle Ground - a Kanej GOT au
I loved getting to write this for the @grishaversebigbang (my first fandom bang ever!)
artwork by the incredible @gigi-drxws which can be found here and co-written with @nerdyhuntress (thank you for getting the title lol!)
The Wraith never turned down an assassin job.
Her knives were sharpened on a day to day basis, gleaming brightly in the weak winter sunlight. Living in the north of Westeros meant dealing with harsh winters. She bundled herself in layers to stave off the freezing temperatures. However, for the sake of her accuracy in knife throwing, Inej refused to wear gloves. Her hands grew calloused and dry from the winter winds, but it was preferable, so she could use her weapons correctly.
The war wasn’t going well. For the last few months, scouts claimed that Night Walkers from the far north were amassing an invasion. Kings and monarchs frantically searched high and low for answers, sacrificing countless innocent lives to negotiate treaties. Inej didn’t get too caught up with all the news. She only heard bits and pieces, scraps of rumors from trusted sources at taverns and inns during her late nights at work. As kingdoms rose and fell, she knew it would have no effect on her personal life.
People like her, who weren’t born with crowns on their delicate heads, had to struggle to survive in this harsh world.
continue on ao3
After her kidnapping and recent escaping from the Menagerie, she could finally breathe freely. A heavy weight like a massive yoke had been yanked off her shoulders. The Dregs were an assassin’s league, who had reached out to her when she was living alone on the streets. One evening, while sleeping in a tiny alleyway, she was approached by a sleazy beggar, asking her for another night of pleasure. She figured he must have been a client at the brothel, but in those traumatizing years, her memory had grown murky. At that moment, she was backed up against a wall and only had a sharp shard of rock for protection. Thinking fast, she pressed it against the man’s eye before aiming a kick at his groin and escaping the alleyway.
Little did she know, the Dregs were watching this encounter with a curious eye.
They sent her an invitation the following week, pressed into her hand by a passing courier. She frowned, thinking it was a clever trap created by Tante Heleen. Inej almost didn’t go, but a thought persisted in her mind: after that dangerous encounter with the beggar, she couldn’t possibly survive on the streets alone. Perhaps some extra connections from dangerous assassins would help her. When they interviewed her, she displayed her knife throwing talents and demonstrated an acrobatic routine. Though she hadn’t expected it, they were impressed and gifted her with a set of rusted old knives for her to use. The assignments came nearly every single week after that, asking her to kill important members of Westeros to destabilize the new government.
But Inej still hadn’t met Dirty Hands yet. Supposedly, he was the man who started the whole operation. Rumors abounded concerning his origin story and appearance. Some claimed that he wore thick leather gloves every single minute of the day, not to stay warm, but to cover up his hideous clawed hands. Others said that he was a demon, born of the blood and bones of damned souls. Many said that he didn’t even exist. He was merely a shadow created by a living saint, who had let his creation run amok.
Every story was more wild than the next, and Inej didn’t believe a single one.
She kept her head down and accepted each assignment without a fuss. It was usually very simple to find her targets. They tended to be loud and boisterous, spending their ill-gotten wealth on gambling dens or underage brothels. Inej always wore her hood and mask, refusing to reveal any personal details. Sometimes, they caught a glimpse of dark brown eyes before life bled from their tattered bodies. Guilt would often consume her soul for taking another life. Even if they were horrible, ruthless rich people who destroyed the lives of innocents, how would the saints react to her sins? Would she be rewarded or terribly punished in the afterlife? Surely, the merciful ones would sympathize with her situation.
Better to die fighting with a knife in her hand, she figured, than perishing inside that hellish brothel.
Inej was sitting in the Dregs headquarters one early morning, pouring herself a warm cup of tea, when a courier passed her a note. She blinked in surprise, scanning the contents of the paper. Her heart skipped a beat and then began furiously pounding in her chest. Dirty Hands wanted to meet with her right now. Inej looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of him, but nobody like the rumors described was in sight. She only saw the familiar faces of their gang, chatting about the invading army that approached Westeros or sharing gossip about their friends.
Inej’s eyes fixed on the staircase that led to his office. Very few people were ever invited up to his private rooms. She wondered if he truly was a monster. Did he wish to fire her or did he want something else out of her? What if he was worse than all those clients at the Menagerie? Her throat closed up as memories of the past threatened to drown her in a sea of despair. However, no assassin could refuse a summon from Dirty Hands. She shuddered to think what would happen if she simply discarded the note.
Inej closed her eyes and silently sent a prayer to her saints before standing up.
Saints, please. Don’t let him be like the others.
The staircase was daunting, but she managed to make it to the top without her legs shaking. In these last months, she hadn’t made a single friend in the Dregs. Would it be easier to meet him if she had gotten close to his friends? Did he even have close associates or did he spend his days alone? Inej lifted her hand to knock, but she heard a deep voice speak.
“Enter, please.”
Her eyes widened in surprise. What type of a heartless demon spoke so politely?
Inej opened the door and stared at the office in surprise. After all the rumors, she expected to see a place akin to a dragon’s lair: treasures and jewels haphazardly scattered around the place, while the blood of his enemies decorated the walls. Instead, she spotted a pristine, clean table with plush armchairs. A large bookshelf stood on the side, neatly organized with large, ancient tomes of Westeros history. This place could have belonged to a wealthy merchant or a clever chamberlain to a monarch. Why would the head of an assassin's operations work in a place like this?
He cleared his throat and Inej finally spotted him. The first thing she noticed was the much-rumored-about gloves, the black leather covering his hands completely. She wondered faintly which of the stories would prove true, in the end. He sat behind a large wooden desk, papers and books and writing utensils covering most of it. Inej was surprised at that too; she assumed that Dirty Hands would want to keep things neat and organized, if he truly was the one who started the Dregs.
“Ah, the Wraith,” Dirty Hands greeted her. His voice was raspy and drew her attention to his face, where yet another surprise awaited. He was about her age, maybe a year or two older. Inej hadn’t realized he would be so young; not that age takes away from lethalness, as she herself knew full well. It certainly made some of the more brutal stories take a new shape in her mind.
“You’ve become one of our most prized assets. And in only a month,” he mused. Inej’s eyes darted up to meet his in surprise. She knew she was good at her job, but she hadn’t realized Dirty Hands knew who she was.
His eyes were the color of coffee, dark from the violence he had committed in Westeros, she assumed. It was just another way his exterior matched the many rumors that swirled about him. They stared intensely at Inej, waiting for her to respond—almost daring her to.
Inej kept quiet, though fear and apprehension rippled down her spine. She wasn’t sure that it was a good thing to have caught the attention of a man so powerful and vicious. Yes, she worked for him and the league he ran, but she didn’t really have a choice in the matter. It was work for Dirty Hands or risk dying on the streets of Westeros, with no one the wiser. Inej just wanted to make it out of this conversation alive. She wasn’t sure what the procedure was for spies and assassins of Dirty Hands who did too well at their jobs.
The man sighed, though he didn’t seem annoyed by her silence. It was a bone-weary sigh, one that could only come from a person who was tired of the world, tired of working and pushing themselves with nothing to show for their troubles. Even though that wasn’t the case for Dirty Hands (the trail of bodies left behind by the Dregs could attest to that), the sigh somehow made Dirty Hands human in a way that Inej would never have guessed.
“Your name is Inej, yes?” he asked. Without waiting for a reply Dirty Hands reached for something under his desk. Inej heard a drawer open for a moment before closing again. The man set something down on the wood between them.
A knife.
It was a beautiful piece, covered in emeralds at the hilt. The blade was polished to a shine and the handle had a firm grip. Inej hadn’t seen a weapon so beautiful in her entire life. Most she saw were rusted and nearly dull, requiring extra force to dig into an enemy’s unsuspecting flesh. Her own, of course, had been carefully sharpened and cleaned after each kill, but with each knife she collected, she had to put in hours of work to make it usable once more. However, Dirty Hands seemed to possess more extravagant methods of killing people than a simple knife, beautiful though it may be. Who was he, truly? She yearned to know all his secrets and figure out his true motivations for hiring her in the first place.
“You speak, don’t you?” he asked abruptly, as her hand reached out to touch the knife.
“Yes, I do,” she replied firmly. “Why have you summoned me?”
Dirty Hands took a seat at his table, his gloved hands clutching his chair’s armrests. “I have a job for you, Inej.”
He spoke her name with such reverence, like it was a prayer whispered in the halls of a church. Nobody spoke to her in such a manner in Westeros. Her name had almost become foreign to her ears; the Menagerie didn’t allow for real names (because who wants to be reminded that the person being used was a real person with their own identity?). In the few weeks she had worked for the Dregs, her code name of the Wraith was what people called her. And certainly no one in all of Westeros had ever said her name with such awe and respect.
“A job?” she asked. “What kind of job?”
It couldn’t be the normal kind, the ones she’d been sent on day after day, week after week. If it were, she would have been handed a note and a passing “good luck” from the messenger.
Dirty Hands’ eyebrow quirked up; it would have led to a smirk if he’d been anyone else. “You’ve a good intuition, Inej. I need your alleged acrobatic skills for this mission. In six days, the Targaryens are hosting a party of special magnificence. A dreadful display of the ruling class’s desire for opulence, I suppose. They can’t be bothered to worry about the incoming armies.”
Inej nods along, waiting for more directions. She’d be tempted to scoff at his mention of her ‘alleged’ skills, but now he’s on a roll about the upper class, and she really isn’t looking for a fight today.
“I need you to infiltrate their performance company. Blend in and find out when the Targaryens intend to make his move against the crown. His wife is far too fond of drink, and it’s a drain on our city’s resources to keep importing it, among a number of other sins. Once you get the intel, you will make your way out. Without getting caught.”
Inej blinked in surprise, inspecting the dagger with a shrewd eye. “And what’s the dagger for, exactly? Why do you want me to have this?”
Dirty Hands leaned forward, staring at her with a fierce expression, like he was trying to memorize every crease in her face. She was reminded of how one might stare at a priceless, pilfered painting. It unnerved her for a second, so she looked away, her face burning with embarrassment.
“It’s Grisha,” he explained patiently. “Covered in an untraceable, invisible poison. I’d advise you to keep it in a scabbard and only unsheathe it when necessary. Just a few drops into a person’s bloodstream and they’ll be dead within seconds.”
Inej was stunned. “And you would trust me with this?” she couldn’t help but ask. Grisha weapons were particularly hard to come by, and this dagger would fetch a pretty penny on the market.
Dirty Hands caught her eyes once more, and in that moment, Inej glimpsed a reflection of her own anger at the world that took away her childhood, her freedom. In his eyes, she saw something so human Inej knew she would follow his orders no matter what. A strange sort of agreement passed between them; two people both hungry to prove that though Westeros had taken something from them, they would not let that stop them; they would demand something of the world back.
“The deal is the deal,” Dirty Hands said, sticking out a gloved hand to Inej.
“The deal is the deal,” Inej repeated as she shook the offered hand.
And thus began the longest-running partnership in Westeros—Dirty Hands and the Wraith, armed and ready for the harsh times ahead.

I love this show and this fandom with my whole heart. being a part of this with you all has honestly been a formative experience in my life and i dont think i will ever forget it 💘💘💘
there’s no way i can put into words how much this fandom means to me so i’m just gonna tag some of the people and creators who have made me laugh, cry, scream, etc... I’ve always thought that if you watch this show but you’re not in the fandom you’re seriously missing half of the experience !! The incredible analyses, artworks, and fics that flesh out the world and the characters and bring them to life in totally new ways. The love and friendships that have come from it.

“Saints, how many are there?” Jesper asked, loading his revolvers and taking aim.
Nina yelled in Fjerdan. “I’ll kill you all if I have to!”
One of them chuckled. “Fight all you want, witch. We have orders to take you in alive and there’s dozens of us here.”
After Nina and Jesper are kidnapped, Kaz Brekker organizes his Crows to rescue them from the Druskelle. Written for the Grishaverse Mini-Bang (@grishaversebigbang). Rated M for violence
(Thank you to all the people who collaborated on the art for this fanfic! You're all the best :) )

Drum roll please!!! Please welcome @nerdyhuntress to the CSSNS!!!
Hello again all! Tonight the spotlight falls on @nerdyhuntress! Everyone go welcome her to the CSSNS!!!
How long have you been in the CS/OUAT fandom?
3 years
When did you start shipping CaptainSwan?
Season 3.
I hated Captain Swan when it was first introduced. I thought Killian was a disgusting fuckboy who would flirt with any girl he met. I thought Emma deserved better than a repulsive pirate.
BUT when “Good Form” and “The Jolly Roger” aired, I felt so bad for thinking that and not giving them a chance. I realized Killian’s story and why he became the way he was. But the biggest message I took was that Killian Jones is always and has ALWAYS been motivated by love.
And he loves Emma with his whole heart and soul. Especially after everything they've done for each other. I've NEVER shipped anything like them. My OTP forever and ever.
What drew you to this event?
I saw it on tumblr and I decided that I would like a summer project. I would also love to write an extended fanfic instead of one-shots.
What inspired your topic?
I've always loved supernatural and fantasy and thought this would be a great opportunity to write an extended fanfic!
My topic was inspired by, well, just imagination really. I've loved the idea that Captain Swan would fall in love with each other in every universe. Even if they're enemies or working against each other. I've always loved the enemies to friends to lovers trope. The relationship development is something inspired by the show itself.
If you would like to share a snippet/sneak peek/summary of your fic or artwork, please use the space below.
I have not written anything yet! I'm sorry, but I've been so busy with university and everything. I'm definitely going to start writing soon! But in the meantime, here's a fluffy one shot that I loved writing :)
http://nerdyhuntress.tumblr.com/po st/145285485874/ouat-captain- swan-fan-fiction-rated-m-his
So the link that Mary shared didn’t work, so I just linked all her fanfic on Tumblr to this link. She is a wonderful writer and I am thrilled that she is participating! So everyone go read her fics, give her some love, and welcome her to the CSSNS! Her fic drops on July 22.
