Late submissions will be accepted through January 31st!

Rules and guidelines for the event are below the cut, and as always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Rules & Guidelines

1. What's allowed? Pretty much anything! Artwork, fanfiction, gifsets, headcanons, analysis/meta, memes, etc. are all welcome, as long as they're your own work and are Korrasami-focused.

2. Explicit content is fine, but the characters need to be adults, and everything depicted MUST be consensual.

3. Please abide by Tumblr's guidelines about explicit content, otherwise there's a chance Tumblr might delete your submission! If you're not sure, you can always post your work to another site (AO3, twitter, etc.) and then link to it here. All explicit content posted and reblogged here will be tagged "nsft" so be sure to block that tag if you'd like to filter out such content!

4. No whitewashing, racism, misogyny, transphobia, ableism, or other bigotry of any kind. Content that explores these themes is ok, but they shouldn't go unchallenged in the piece, and they should be tagged with the appropriate warnings.

5. When submitting visual or audio media, please include a description either in ALT text or in the body of the post itself.

6. Other characters and relationships from The Legend of Korra are welcome, but your submission should be primarily about Korrasami.

7. Be kind. No criticism ("constructive" or otherwise) of other people's work unless the creator explicitly requests it. If you don't like something, just keep scrolling!

8. Follow the prompts if you can! They're meant to be helpful, but if you get inspired by something else entirely, please feel free to submit whatever you make!

9. Tag for content warnings if you think something might be triggering. Use your best judgment, but if you aren't sure whether a CW is needed, it doesn't hurt to ask!

10. Submit your fanwork either by mentioning @korrasamiweek2024 in the body of your post and using the #korrasamiweek2024 tag, or by submitting it directly to this blog. You can also add it to the Korrasami Week 2024 Collection on AO3. All submissions for each prompt will be reblogged or posted by the end of the day.

11. There's no such thing as a stupid question, so if you're unsure about something, feel free to ask!

December Daze Challenge

Welcome to our festive challenge for Winter 2024.

We are posting this challenge a bit early so that y'all can be ready as we intend for this to be a creative advent calendar!

What this means is that for each day you will use THIS GENERATOR to get a prompt and create a piece based on it. This can be written or visual. We encourage writers to worked ahead if that works best for them and you can make a copy of this handy calendar to do so.

✨Rules✨

🌲This challenge is open to all fandoms and characters.

⛄Dark creations are accepted but we will not accept underage, incest, or bestiality. Please don’t forget to add warnings to your works appropriately.

❄For written pieces, there are no word count limits, but we do ask that you add a “read more” beyond 500 words.

⭐We hope that creators can create an inclusive work and encourage writers and creators to use appropriate tagging, ie, f!reader, etc..

🕯 For this challenge, we will accept sequels or continuations to previous works. Please be sure to link the original work in your submission.

🎇if you generate a prompt and do not find it inspiring, feel free to try again. You do not need to do this as an advent/31-day challenge and may still submit single pieces.

🛷Be kind to yourself and to others. We are here to support and include each other.

🎁This is an event for the December only, with a final due date of January 6 for late submissions.

!Tag this blog in your submission so we see it!

[symptomsofdeceit]

So I just found out that from sometime in early December until early February I’ll be taking call 100% of the time on top of my scheduled 40 hours (which might go up to 50) a week.

We need someone in my position on call 24/7 or the hospital loses it’s level 1 trauma status. We’re also the main hospital that handles things like aortic transactions, aortic dissections, abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture repairs, and cold (no/very limited circulation) legs for a decently large area.

Having just one person to support all of our endovascular + hybrid operations is ridiculous 😭. One of the medical device representatives I work with used to have my job at this hospital and said he took 100% call for 6 months once, I guess it’s not unheard of.

I am still planning on having a game update in February!! But my free time is going to be even more limited than I expected, and I don’t want to rush and compromise the quality of the new content. I’m thinking that the February update might just include the next part of Nalis’s route, then hopefully I can release Thaumo’s route update not too long after that.

I hope Thaumo enjoyers will not be too disappointed, I just want to make sure I have enough time to really polish up Thaumo’s update as well.

Normally we’re supposed to submit PTO requests at least 6 months ahead of time but I’m fighting for some days off before early December to make progress too! 🤺 🤺

⋆❅. a warm kind of love

adult!Van x fem!reader

since you and her won’t be together for the holidays, you decide to take a weekend trip, as a way to have an early christmas break, just the two of you - you spend the weekend far away from everything, cozy and content in a cabin

authors note: happy december! I wanted to write a sweet, vaguely christmas inspired fic that still seemed realistic for her, so I imagined what a getaway with her as your gf might look like! I really enjoyed this one, so I hope you do too <3 (around 6k)

warnings: smut (reader giving), minors dni

it was your first winter as a couple, after having fallen in love during beautiful late spring days.

there were many things you loved about spending the colder months with her: the fact that you had an excuse to retire to bed around 6 because it got dark out so early, the walks you often took together, all bundled up, arm in arm until you stopped at a cafe and bought your usual choice of drinks and pastries, smiling and stealing touches under the table, still as in love as in the beginning. you loved the way her apartment felt on a freezing night, the way it became your shared place of refuge from the punishingly icy air, your home, even thought you hadn’t fully moved in just yet. you loved her style during winter, all the soft flannels, the way she layered her shirts and sweaters, always inviting your hands to find a way under them.

one thing you didn’t love about the season though, at all, was that you were going to be separated for about two weeks during Christmas. you obviously hadnt told your parents about Van, and even if you had, you werent going to submit her to days and days of family activities, so you’d have to handle the distance, somehow. 

you werent used to spending more than two days apart from her, so you had already started complaining to her about it in November, when Christmas was still weeks away, which was endearing to her, the fact that you had such strong feelings about leaving her for a little while. deep down she shared your feelings, of course, but she didn´t let it show, not really, she always just stroked your cheek and said “oh it’ll be fine, the time will fly, believe me”. 

still, it gave her an idea, your dismay at the inability to celebrate together.

once December approached, she asked you how you felt about going on a trip with her, just for a weekend, to some place that already got snow, to have a sort of  “christmas break” getaway together, in advance of the actual holidays. 

you agreed instantly, of course, delighted by the idea of spending a few days huddled up in some cabin with her, no obligations at all, except to be with her.

once you agreed on a date, she found a place on airbnb, up in the mountains, about five hours away by car, so, one Friday noon in December, you threw your bags into her car, and drove off. 

the first night, you spent eating the takeout you´d bought on the way, devouring it like animals, paired up with a few drinks afterwards, getting tipsy and testing out the couch you’d spend many hours on in the coming days, before running a bath and laying there in the soft foam together, blissed out, legs entwined underwater, faces glowing from the steam and the alcohol and the joy.

the cabin was even better than expected from the pictures you’d seen online: there were no neighbors around, just trees and hills as far as they eye could reach, the nearest town about half an hour away. the living room was spacious and cozy, a huge fireplace, bookcases along the wood-paneled walls, small lamps that offered orange indirect light, tons of colorful blankets and pillows, a distinctly vintage charm to it all, that Van in particular loved.

your bedroom was small but lovely, just the right place to spend hours and hours recovering from the cold, making use of the fact that nobody could hear you, disturb you. something about it made you feel like bunk-buddies at camp, it made you both giddy almost the first night when you had dried off from the bath and laid down together. 

you were too riled up to sleep, so you made use of the fluffy bedding and took turns pleasing each other, Van riding your face for a good while, you gladly laying there and letting her take her time to get off, as many times as she wanted, turned on by the sound of her moans that echoed differently in that new room, also by the fact that it was the first time you were fucking in a bed that belonged to someone else - Van jerking you off after, holding you tight, kissing shoulder and neck, still high from her orgasm, helping you out with the neediness that had overcome you from feeling her come on your face, your limbs soothed by the silky bed sheet, as she left you panting and deeply pleased.

you lost track of time as you kept going, taking small breaks in between to make out and just grind up against each other. the thing you remembered that night was how turned on you always got from seeing her pull her hair up into a ponytail, since she only ever wore that style during sex, it never failed to finish you off good, when she smiled at you all sweet while tying her hair up before giving you head. 

you both feel asleep dazed and happy that first night, worn out in the best way, arm in arm, glad to know that snow was still falling outside of your window, that you would wake up to a fairytale landscape.

the next morning, you slept in and snuggled in bed until about 10 am, almost unable to muster up the willpower to get up. once you did, Van busied herself with making you both a good strong coffee, while you cooked up a hearty breakfast for the both of you, including cinnamon roles that you’d baked the night before - her favorite - a sweet kind of domesticity that felt even more sacred while in a new place, aware that you could feel at home at any place in the world, as long as you were together. 

you were both eager to take a look at the pretty view outside, so you decided to go on a hike. 

before you stepped out the door, Van stopped to put on chapstick, applying too much on purpose to give you a kiss and move her lips over yours slowly to transfer some of it, admiring her work afterwards, while you felt yourself blushing “here, so your pretty lips don’t suffer out there”.

for about two hours you walked through the pretty sparkling ice, marvelling at the landscape, soothed by the knowledge that you were entirely on your own, a luxury you didn’t have in the city, at times stopping to make out for a moment, which you usually never did outside of course, thrilled by the freedom, the lack of fear. 

you came across a few deer at one point, standing still and clutching at each other’s jackets, staring in disbelief and holding your breaths, until they ran off again, both of you somehow convinced that it was a good sign, that they seemed to trust you enough to come that close.

at one point you complained about your legs hurting and Van just laughed and said “sweetie, you’re supposed to be the fit one here, come on”, you told her that she owed you a massage for that comment, but she just whispered “well, that’s not a punishment for me, I’m afraid”. 

Van had curated a list of films for you to watch while you were up there. a week before, she’d put a few obvious holiday ones on the list but also other, more intense ones that played out in the snow but would give you more to discuss, to dissect, she had something for every mood. so, once you got back, that’s exactly what you did, lounging around on the couch for hours, being lazy, only getting up to get snacks or drinks every now and then.

Van gave you that leg massage you had mentioned earlier and, predictably, you got too distracted by each other to pay attention to the film that was playing. eventually, you both fell asleep at the same time, which ended up in you taking a nap until it got dark out.

you were the chef in the relationship, so around 5pm you started making use of the groceries you’d brought with you, chopping a bunch of fresh veggies to make a delicious soup, some noodles in there too, toasted bread with butter to dip into it. Van stoked the fire and got it to a nice steady burn as you were busy in the kitchen, before she sat down by the counter and eyed you all enamored, musing to herself  “I’m so spoiled”, you only laughed and said “my pleasure” in a suggestive tone, grinning and watching her try to act like you didn’t still have the ability to make her feel a flustered. 

after dinner, snow started falling again, so you agreed to take a little walk.

the darkness made the air feel much colder than earlier that day, you were clenching your teeth and holding onto her arm for dear life, while Van seemed completely unfazed. she hadn't told you about her time in the wilderness yet, so it was crazy to you, how she walked through wind and weather like it was nothing. 

“why the fuck aren’t you shivering??” you asked her, incredulous, which amused Van, smiling to herself smugly as she shrugged and said “I’m old, jaded, my skin is thicker”, but you shook your head “no, I know your skin, you bruise like a peach”. it was true, her body was sensitive, you had left your mark many times, but she did like seeing you a bit impressed by her tenacity, so she said “oh come on, the fresh air is healthy, good for you, ice baths are a thing for a reason. here wait, I’ll do you one better”, before laying down on the fresh snow and extending her arms to make a snow angel, still unaffected by it all, enjoying herself even, the way the snowflakes feel right onto her face then. 

you shook your head and laughed, “you’re insane..”, charmed by the youthful look of her in that moment, her hair ablaze against the white, even in the dark. she waved you closer, “come on, join me” and at first you protested, but there was no point, of course you'd give in, so you braced yourself for the cold and got down next to her, holding her cool hand an mimicking what she was doing, laughing in unison with her, eventually rolling over to grab her and kiss her cold lips, hard, to infuse her with warmth, even though she insisted on being fine, a pleased hum as you pressed yourself against her and briefly burned her body up. 

once you were back inside, you both immediately changed out of your jeans, which had gotten wet from the ice, into your comfy sweats.

“okay, I need that fucking hot chocolate now” Van announced as you both entered the living space, you agreed “yeah that’s gonna hit right now”, so you both went into the kitchen, got two mugs, and collected the various things you needed in order to make it perfect. you told her to sit down and let you handle it, so she did, gladly, lighting a few candles on the table. “make it nasty, go all out, I need a sugar rush” she called over to you when she saw that you were deciding which toppings to put on the whipped cream, so you turned to her and smiled, “you have such a sweet tooth, it’s crazy”, her only giving you a self-satisfied look and saying “well, it’s good for me to be attracted to sweet things, clearly” gesturing at you, eyeing you up and down. 

you fulfilled her wish and covered the drinks in little marshmallows, added both caramel and chocolate drizzle, and some chocolate sprinkles as well. 

you both settled by the fireplace, as close as you possibly could, sitting on some pillows and a fluffy blanket, savoring the thick sweetness that warmed you up from the inside then, shoulder to shoulder, thigh to thigh, no space between you, whatsoever. 

at one point Van laughed and used her thumb to wipe some chocolate from your lower lip, only for you to use the moment to open your mouth and tease her a bit, her moving her finger between your lips, you sucking on it, until she felt too affected by it and kissed you instead, giving you something else to occupy your lips with, whispering “little freak”, affectionately, just loud enough for you to hear. 

for a while, after you finished your drinks, you kept sitting there, your head resting against her shoulder, her arm around your back, the crackling flames the only sound in the room until you spoke up, “this is so nice, really, I needed this escape, badly. thank you”. Van nodded, clearly in agreement, her voice smooth and low “no need to thank me, baby, this wasn't just a gift to you, I obviously really wanted you all to myself”. you smiled, moving your free hand to her knee, squeezing lightly, “good. god.. I wish we could stay here for weeks. just stay in bed and watch films and cook and walk around and… you know. other things.”

Van grinned, glad to hear you fantasize about being with trapped with her for that long, as if it would be heaven on earth, “I know.. this is pretty fucking perfect, hm?”, her tone almost wistful, since she had never felt a love like that in her adult life, it was still new to her, still a miracle. she moved her head then and gently grabbed your face to place a lingering kiss on your forehead, a wordless way of expressing how much tenderness she felt for you, always. 

she pulled back eventually and kept her hands on your face for a moment longer, to caress your cheeks, watching you lean into it all docile and content, “you know-” she said, “yeah?” you whispered, your eyes briefly closed because her touch soothed you. she took a deep breath before continuing, “I realized recently how lonely I felt during winters when i didnt have anyone, didn't have you,. this year feels so different, like I used to hate how winter nights in my bed felt, but now I have you with me all the time and it’s… I don’t know. so nice. a few days ago I woke up in the middle of the night and the air in the room was so cold but you were so soft and warm and I could just snuggle up to you… you actually put your arm around me in your sleep it was really cute.. yeah. it’s just good. to have you. not just emotionally, physically too.. if that makes sense”

you had listened intently as she said all that, struck by her unusual earnestness, the emotion in her voice, the way she almost seemed to tear up at one point, so you grew a bit emotional too and squeezed her, your arms around her waist as you said “oh. baby….” and kissed her cheek, over and over, softly, before meeting her eyes and saying “I love being with you, honestly, the only thing that’s been getting me through the days back home has been thinking about being with you again at night. also, the weather is a good excuse to feel you up more…” you let your hand wander down to her lower back as you said the last part, grinning, her eyes still fixed on yours. 

“oh yeah?” she said, in that deep tone of hers that always got under your skin. she knew of course what you meant, it had happened more than once during the weeks before that you’d come back home and skipped the small talk to get all over immediately and get heat back into your body by pleasing her, kissing her, being on top of her, under her, anything, just as close as possible. it made her feel giddy with anticipation at times, when she heard your footsteps at night and braced herself for the onslaught of affection she was about to be greeted with. 

“hmm” you reaffirmed and played with a strand of her hair. Van leaned her face closer to yours and smiled all sweet, the way she always did when she wanted a kiss, so you gave in and gave her a deep kiss, your fingers moving into her hair, hers under your sweater, caressing you as you made out for a while. 

eventually, you pulled away and stared at her, a bit out of breath as you uttered “hm, you look so pretty like this, all rosy” your index finger tracing her freckled nose, her pink cheeks, her cupid’s bow, the sight of her like that getting you good, hitting you somewhere deep within. 

Van was clearly worked up too, she wanted more, but she didn't expect you to follow through and say “lay back for me” while pointing at the ground, the blanket under you. she raised her eyebrows, her voice giving away that she was turned on by your demand “oh… now? here?”, you nodded, eager, already salivating at the thought, “yes, please”. 

she did as she was told, using a pillow to support her head as she got comfortable and waited for you to do whatever you wanted. you would never tire of it, how easy it was for you to turn her on, how willing she was, at all times, to surrender to your desire to make her feel good. she rarely had to initiate, since the subtlest sign of her want made you offer. another thing about your relationship that made Van feel deliciously spoiled by you. 

you were impatient, you needed to feel her, so you pushed her sweater up over her chest, which made her gasp lightly, the air hardening her nipples, so you wasted no time and helped her out, putting your mouth to her tits, your tongue warm and soothing, sloppy with it as you heard her groan in pleasure from your devoted way of making sure she was at ease, fully relaxed, ready to enjoy herself, fully. you briefly got lost in your obsession with her pale skin, the way it always turned red from your impact, sucking on one of her tits while squeezing the other, until she sighed “please…”, which was your cue to move down and get to it. 

you pulled down her sweatpants, her underwear too, careful as always, reverent almost, the idyllic atmosphere lending itself to moments of utter gratitude, a rush of feverish devotion as you thought “she’s mine. she’s all mine.” once she was exposed to you, you marveled at the way she looked, spread out by the fire like that, the intense light casting her in deep shades of gold, a divine quality to it all that made it even easier than usual to worship her body, to get hungrier by the second, to be drowned in the feel of her. for a good moment you just stared at her, whispering “beautiful…”, a quiet, almost girl-ish laugh from her as you moved on top of her again and kissed her all the way down her stomach, slowly, a pleased humming sound from Van filling the air then, her hands wandering to your head, your hair, caressing you as you got her worked up, leaving a trail of open-mouthed kisses down her body until you reached her lower stomach. 

Van opened her legs wider for you then, to give you better access, which got you even more heated, the way she always matched your eagerness, so you couldn´t helpt but take a moment to focus on the part of her you were still so obsessed with: her inner thighs. you moved down and continued your kissing there, on the soft flesh that only you got to see, to touch, claim as yours, biting down out of sheer need then, love bites that she was used to from you, always hoping they’d leave a mark, give her something to look at for a few days. 

you could hear her breathing turn heavier by the second, so you finally gave in and didn’t keep her waiting any longer, pressing your face up against her as closely as possible, breathing in her familiar scent, your nose brushing up against her soft hair, back where you felt like you belonged. 

the thing that you had loved about having sex with Van, right from the start of dating her, was how unbelievably easy it was to get her wet, at times a few heartfelt kisses were enough to get her soaked, and it was no different then, so you indulged in it, moving your mouth up and down her cunt to get messed up by her arousal right from the start, sighing in pleasure as you dipped your tongue in and ran it up and down between her lips in broad strokes, you knew her well by then, there was no guessing anymore, so you gave her what you knew she needed, a slow, sensual kind of tongue-fucking, drawing it out, enjoying every second, your rythm steady and secure as you lapped up her juices, moaned from it, got lost in her, your arms firm around her thighs, as if you were scared she might move away. 

Van immediately responded with a pleased “hmmm” sound that gave away that she was smiling, her hands still on the back of your head, praising you “perfect…”. you could feel her relax into it, so you caressed her lovingly as you licked all over her throbbing core, seemingly unable to get enough, at times moving your face as well as your tongue, getting messy and unrestrained with it, using your own spit to make it even sloppier. 

her hips quickly started jerking up in response to chase as much friction as possible as you gave her clit deliberate intense flicks, over and over, the feeling unbearably hot to you, always a killer for your last bit of composure, the way she rocked against your mouth shamelessly, your underwear a mess by that point, shaking with desire as she got into it and praised you with a breathless “god that feels so good..”.

you kept going, steady and eager to give her as much as she needed, not moving an inch, almost losing your mind as you heard those sweet sounds fall from Van´s lips, the kind that got you addicted to her the first time you fucked, highpitched, both angelic and perverse at once, the kind she suppressed during the first minutes but couldn’t keep inside for long, only pushing you to really drive her towards full bliss, to hear the full extent, an unbearable ache at your own core from the knowledge that you could make that tough seeming, rather masculine woman moan like a girl. 

Van arched up a bit as you kept her thighs apart and you took the moment to look up at her, instantly obsessed with the sight: her hiked sweater hiked up, her chest still exposed and flushed, a deeply sexy sight to you, so you moved your hands up for a moment and kneaded her tits to add to her level of arousal, which worked, her moans turning more breathless and desperate then, almost a pained sound to them, no restraint anymore as she kept you trapped both with her legs and her hands on your head, whining “fuck don’t stop, I’m so close..”, her fingers tugging at your hair, the pain eliciting a pathetic moan from you too as you let her use you, your whole lower face dripping with her cum by that point, a few more moments of her sighing and cursing under her breath, the burn of the fire adding to the layer of sweat on her skin, until she felt the orgasm spreading through her; Van came easily and fast because she was already so relaxed from before, no resistance in her body or mind as the high crashed over her, her grip on you tightening for a final time as she rode it out against your mouth, pushed over the edge by the heavenly feeling of having you down there, so focused on her pleasure. it never failed to make her come hard, the knowledge that you were often starving for her, that you ate her out to get what you wanted, not just to give it to her.

you stayed where you were, all throughout her high, holding her as she shook from it, and once she went slack, she didn’t even have to say a thing: you knew her. you could tell from her whimpering and light twitching that she wanted a bit more, so you let her lay there and took the hint. 

you gave her a brief moment to catch her breath before you moved your hand up to run your fingers over her slicked up, still sensitive cunt, spreading her open to feel the velvety heat, enthralled by the sight, the mess, all for you, moaning quietly as you heard the wet sounds that you were drawing out, self-indulgent as you played with her, while she couldn´t do much more than lay there and whine from the need for more.

so, you moved your fingers up to her clit and rubbed over her in circles, faster than you had moved your tongue, Van sighing “hmm god…” as she braced herself and submitted to the second orgasm you were drawing out, quickly, it took only about thirty seconds of you rubbing over her and cooing “so fucking pretty…” for Van to lose herself and tense up and bite her lower lip as she came again, shuddering and finally falling back with a deeply satisfied sigh, the neediness out of her system then, replaced by the sweet aftershocks.

you moved your hand away and licked your fingers clean, after which you sat up and gazed at her, the view even better than before: the way she had her face turned to the fire, a dazed smile, her eyes shut. instead of getting up, you joined her in laying there and moved to rest your head against her chest, laying half on top of her, her fingers back in your hair the moment you did that, a faint humming sound of hers filling the air as she calmed down and tried to find her voice again. you didn’t wipe your mouth, you left it as it was, her taste and scent mixed with the smell of the smoke from the fire, the residue of the chocolate and caramel earlier, an intoxicating mix to you. 

you were both quiet for a second as you realized how badly you needed that kind of sex at times, the kind that's not too aggressive and feels emotionally charged, intense, without being overwhelming, no power play, just a shared moment of surrender to bliss. 

you had your eyes closed too as Van whispered “I love you so much…” no other words coming to mind in that moment. 

you smiled and whispered back “I love you too. so much”. there was a pause before she stroked your back and said “can I ask..” in an amused tone, which made you curious, “yeah what?”. Van moved her fingers up and down your spine, over your clothes, as she asked “at what round would you tap out?”. she was alluding to the fact that you had yet to deny her when she wanted more during sex, she could not recall one time you’d done it that far. 

you laughed and said “well, I wouldn't, you should know that by now, baby. why, you need more?”. 

the question was genuine, even though you were glad to lay on her and be held, you would have gone back to pleasing her if she had said yes then. Van was a bit stunned, turned on too by your genuine offer, your refusal to deny her any wish, but she shook her head and said “no, I am more than good now”, a pause before she squeezed your arm and added “so generous hmm”, audibly pleased by your giving nature. “well, not really, I mean it’s my favorite thing to do”, you responded, which was a dramatic way of putting it, but you meant it. Van tapped you on the shoulder, to make you look up at her, raising her eyebrows as you met her gaze, her tone low, “favorite?”. you didn't back down, you nodded “yeah, you heard me”, grinning up at her. 

it was true that you often fantasized about it during the day, tasting her, hearing her, it was the one thing your mind wandered to when you needed to feel better, needed to ease your mind. Van smiled, her cheeks flushing a bit deeper then and uttered “damn, I should maybe reconsider my stance on marriage. I should lock you down somehow…”. you sounded serious as you responded “oh, please do. or you know, just keep me captive, that would work too.” 

“hm, sure, I’ll consider it” Van said and slowly sat up. 

you both went to go get cleaned up in the shower then but kept it brief because you were already thoroughly heated up and wanted nothing more than to retire to bed together. 

so, fifteen minutes later, you were fresh and snug under the covers, facing each other, the blanket up to your shoulders, a glow to both of your faces. “this is easily the best “christmas” - she made air quotes with her fingers - I have had like… ever.” Van said it a bit tentatively, unsure if you’d share the sentiment but you did, genuinely, “mine too, this beats whatever I will do at home. god, I wish I could take you with me. we’d share my childhood bed, it would be great”, you grinned as you said the last part, she laughed and nodded “oh yeah, not creepy at all, me in the teenage bedroom where you still lived when I was already like… closing in on forty.”

you didn’t stop smiling when she said that, instead you moved even closer to her and grabbed her waist, squeezing as you responded “oh come on, it turns you on, don’t lie”. Van pretended to be offended, half-heartedly attempted to push you off as she exclaimed “not it doesn’t! you menace”, unable to conceal the flicker of amusement in her eyes. 

you nuzzled up against her then and rested you head against her shoulder, “I’ll miss you though, really. I hate leaving for that long, it’s torture…” you exaggereated a bit but you did mean it, that you loved having her around almost every day. Van put her arm around your back to pull you even closer and said “I know, I’ll miss you too.” earnest, quiet, unwilling to make it a joke, since she did want you to know that she would count down the days until you were back with her. 

“also, get ready, when I am back home I will probably call you about three to five times a day” you said then, your hand resting under her shirt, where it always did when you were close to her. she smiled, “oh really? you’ll hide in the bathroom or outside and bitch to me about your relatives, hm?” she asked, jokingly, but you didn’t deny it “that’s exactly what I will do, yes, just wait for the rants about insane things my mom said to me. or you know…” your tone turned suggestive then, “I might call you late at night, whisper things to you..”.

Van scoffed, unsure if you were being serious “are you trying to get me into phone sex?”. you played along “I will probably grow desperate enough at some point, yes. I’ll wanna hear you do things to yourself”.

Van laughed then, half in disbelief, half to cover up that she was turned on by your shamelessness, “you’re fucking wild. you wanna be telling some woman how to jerk off over the phone, under your parents roof, yeah?”. 

“yes, that sounds great to me. also I’ll pretend I didn’t just hear you call yourself “some woman” as if you’re not my everything.” you didn’t realize before you said it how heartfelt that came out, but you didn’t take it back, leaving the words lingering in the air. 

Van bent her head then to search for your gaze, you could tell, so you looked at her, “sorry I don’t think I heard that last part, care to repeat?” she said, smiling, her eyes sparkling with delight. you returned the smile and leaned up to whisper “I said, you’re my everything.” against her lips. she closed the distance and gave you a kiss that made “you are too” words she didn´t even have to say, it was clear, from the way she held your face and kissed you until you giggled. 

you fell asleep arm in arm, no trace of cold left in your bodies, a shared comfort in the sound of your breaths that you could hear much clearer out there where no cars drove by at night, where nothing but peaceful silence surrounded you. 

Van’s grip on you was even tighter than usual that night because she realized something as she drifted off. what she hadn’t told you, because she hadn´t found the right moment to confide in you about the crash and the wilderness yet, was that she had dealt with some anxious thoughts concerning a stay at a cabin. for a moment she had worried that it might bring up traumatic memories, that it might trigger her and make her act weird and that she’d have to explain herself to you, that she would kill the vibe, somehow. she had assuaged those thoughts by reminding herself “it won’t be anything like back then. we will have running water and a clean bed and she will be there, it won’t fuck with me”. 

in that moment, as she felt you going slack in her arms, already asleep, it struck her, that since entering the cabin the day before, she had not thought about the wilderness once, not even for a brief second. being with you was so joyful and relaxing to her that her psyche did not even make the connection to her time in the woods; her state of mind was a complete contrast to back then. it made her emotional, to know that you were healing and helping her in ways you weren’t even aware of. she promised herself to tell you eventually, to confide in you and let you see her fully, without holding anything back. she did not want to hide. not from you. not for much longer. 

she pressed herself up against you as closely as possible and felt at ease knowing that spending Christmas alone would not pain her at all because she would be calmed by the knowledge that someone out there loved her, would come back to her. again and again and again. seeking out her warmth; and for as long as you’d let her, she would burn for you, sustain you with her fire, which you had given her back the moment you first touched her.

[hoshinokaabi-secretsanta]

Gifts are due today + Posting schedule and info

Reminder that gifts are due today! Please submit your gift as specified in our last post!

Additionally, the posting schedule has been decided. We will be using the same schedule as last year, posting over a 10 hour period per day starting at 8AM PST and ending at 5PM PST. Gifts will be posted in blocks every hour (not throughout the hour. We post any respective hour's gifts all at once at the beginning of the hour)!

We have about 115 gifts to post over a two day period (December 24th and 25th). That means there will be 5-6 gifts posted at the beginning of each hour (the last gifts of the day are posted at 5PM sharp), with exceptions made for gifts we have not yet received due to extension requests. Those will be posted when they are completed. If your gift won't be posted on the two posting days due to extension requests, you will be notified via your preferred method of contact.

Additionally, regarding tagging: if a gift requires a tagged warning (such as body horror or blood) it will be tagged plainly with the word alone (ex: #body horror ; #blood). The tagging of such is up to moderator discretion. Extreme amounts of horror, blood, or any other content requiring such warnings were not given in this event. Additionally, all characters will be tagged with their full official names (OCs will be tagged simply as "#kirby oc") and romantic ship content will be tagged with the most popular ship name(s) when possible (I will double check a recipient's wishlist to ensure whether or not something was intended as ship). Please blacklist whatever tags you need to in order to keep yourselves safe!

Thank you everyone who submitted their gifts early, and good luck to those of you who are still working on yours up until the last second! This will be the last info post provided no more issues pop up. We hope you all enjoy the show!

CHRISTMAUS 2024 SUBMISSIONS

Today I am proud to announce ChristmAUs 2024! As you may have seen earlier, I have taken the reigns of ChristmAUs from @fmsdraws / @ut-poppy-askblog (with his permission). Unfortunately, I can not make a game like ChristmAUs 2023 (which you should really play Link here)! However, I do have a big plan for ChristmAUs 2024, and that plan is: Animated Christmas Card!

That's right! Unlike most of the other ChristmAUs collabs, this one shall be animated! Give your AU characters animations to bring them to life for all to see! Of course, animation is a hard, time consuming process. But with over 2 months to work, and with the simple rules on how the characters should be animated, it shouldn't be too difficult to get your character in in time!

RULES: *Submissions are open until Sunday, December 8th, 12 AM! Meaning that they are open through out December 7th and then they close! *Submissions must be in the style of Undertale and Deltarune! *No limit on the amount of characters you can submit, but I may ask you to slow down if I feel you are submitting too many. *The AU character(s) you submit must come from a publicly revealed AU that must have some content behind them other then this ChristmAUs. This includes: Art, Audio, Comic, Animation, Photography, Game, Sprites, Written Sources, or any combination of them. *No content that would be 18+. This is a family-friendly ChristmAUs! *No content that would be harmful or hurtful to anyone. ChristmAUs should be a joyous time, and hate and harm have no place in it. *No content that would violate the TOS of the majority of websites, including Youtube, Reddit and Tumblr. *You must have permission to submit the character, if you did not create them yourself! (UT and DR canon characters excluded; just link UT or DR for them.) Submission Rules: 1: Make sure you've read all the rules! 2: Give your Handle; how you want to be credited in the public. I do not accept anonymous contributions! 3: Share your characters name(s) and AU(s), along with link to the AU/those AUs! 4: Share your characters sheet(s); this should include every frame individually used for the animation, and I will add them in myself. Character Sheets should be 1x1 (meaning a pixel is just 1 pixel). Animations should be based on 12 Frames Per Second and Frames should be based on Multiples of 6! (6, 12, 18, etc.) 5: Share where you wish for your character(s) to be placed on the map. Keep in mind that while I will try to place them where you wish, I may move them slightly to fit the environment better. 6: Optionally, if you wish, include a GIF of the animation so that I can get an idea of how they should look in action! 7: Additionally, for those who can't animate, or for those who want to go above and beyond, there are also opportunities to add static content to ChristmAUs. These include: +Ornaments (20x20 max) +Gifts (30x30 max) +Table Set Pieces (45x45 max, 13 Max) +Pictures (30x18 or 17x18, 15 Max) 8: Characters should not be placed in areas that obviously would not fit them; like a massive character in a tiny area, for instance. 9: No walking animations, or animations that move characters from their standing point. This is to ensure there's no collisions and for a maximum amount of characters on the map. 10: All animations should loop into themselves. No animations should simply end. 11: All art submissions should include your handle/credit name!

SUBMISSION LINK:

I hope everyone has fun with this ChristmAUs! And I hope doing it in animated form works wonderfully for everyone! One last shout out to @mickonline1 for his wonderful ChristmAUs tree submission! I'll see you again through out the month, and ChristmAUs will see you on Christmas!
