Merry Pitchmas 2024: O Christmas Tree ... Cake

It is the first winter that Chloe Beale and Beca Mitchell are spending in New York City. Chloe isn't handling the colder temperatures, shorter days, and gloomier skies. And she really is missing her favorite holiday themed snack treat. Beca to the rescue as she races to .... Secaucus?!?

This is my gift for @annakendrick47author . I am SO sorry it is late. I had some physical problems that kept me from completing it before now.

Hello! your aca-Santa is here! Bringing a gift that will make you smile from ear to ear! But before such a gift can be passed, Some questions shall be asked:

Which pairings speak to your heart? Which tropes do you think are art? And lastly, if you'd be so kind, did you already have something in mind?

I look forward to your response, Best regards, your Santa Claus (that rhymes I swear)

I love the poem. Ha! I'm a Bechloe fan. Not a huge fan of super smut or heavy angst. Other than that, I'll be excited to see what you come up with!

BeChloe Week 2024: Day Seven - Navigating the Storm

Beca Mitchell is a Junior Producer at Residual Heat. Chloe Beale is her assistant - who in true Chloe fashion has become Beca's friend as well. Chloe has noticed that lately Beca just seems ... off. Down. Depressed. Something isn't right. Chloe tries to help Beca through her journey of self-discovery and to navigate the bumps along the way.

“Yeah, but, being attracted to a man is …”

“Is … what?” Beca’s voice had turned hard as granite. Her eyebrows narrowed. Even the most clueless man would recognize that he was walking on thin ice.  

“NORMAL!” Jesse blurted. “It’s normal. What you’re supposed to do. You’re supposed to be attracted to guys.”

Beca face fell. She was shooting daggers at Jesse. “So, you’re saying I’m not NORMAL.” 

“No,” Jesse floundered. “I mean … you’re normal … it’s just … it is weird. You just aren’t gay! You’re normal.”

I only was able to pull off two of the prompts ... for now. I hope to go back and fill in the blanks. This one ended up growing far bigger than I imagined, so it devoured all my time.

Bechloe Week 2024: Day One - Daring a Dumbass

I jumped the gun and posted this Monday because I thought Bechloe Week started on Monday. Alas, I was wrong. I won't be able to do all of the days, but I do have a few offerings - starting with this one.

Beca and her best friend Stacie are out at a local club. Beca is just sitting like a lump at the bar, so Stacie dares her to kiss the hottest woman there. Beca spots a redhead across the room and sparks fly.

Stacie got an evil look on her face. Beca winced, fearful of what was coming. “I think you should find the hottest woman in here and just walk up and kiss her.” 

“No fucking way.” Beca shook her head. “Ain’t happening.”

Stacie leaned closer to her friend and locked eyes with her. In a dangerous tone, she said, “I dare you.”

Beca’s eyes flew open. “You bitch.”

Merry Pitchmas 2023: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Here is my Merry Pitchmas gift for @godzillachloe.

The Bellas Christmas Party is almost over. First, though, somebody has to read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."

[ferretboy74]

Ho, ho, ho! Pitchmas is getting closer! I hope you are still behaving. I don't want you to get any coal. Your Christmas present is getting rather large! Would you like the elves to wrap you one huge present or several smaller ones to enjoy one day after the next? Ho, ho, ho! Merry Pitchmas!

I love opening presents, so have the elves wrap up several smaller presents. I’m getting excited to see what I’m getting!

[ferretboy74]

Ho, ho, ho! Merry Pitchmas. I hope you’ve been good this year. Now, I’m not a perv so I won’t ask you to sit on my lap 😉 , but I do want to know what you want for Pitchmas. This Santa is a writer but is fairly versatile in ships, genres, and themes. So wish away Ferretboy74!! I’m excited to get the holiday Bella-elves started.

Awesome! I love it. I’m a Bechloe fan. Not super into angst or smut. I love tropes like single parent, new parents, pretend relationship to real relationship. I don’t want to restrict you too much. I’m just excited to see what you come up with!!

Bechloe Week 2023: Day Six - Forget Me Not

For the prompt "Celebrity Scandal." Beca Mitchell is a music producer who has a reputation for causing trouble. She used to be a well known singer who seemed to burn out in a self-inflicted crash. Chloe Beale is a beloved pop princess. She's a hit machine who is on a perpetual hot streak. When the two women are paired together for a music project, will sparks fly or will explosions reign?

Bechloe Week 2023: Day Five - Barden Hollow

This is one my favorite things I've ever written. It is a futuristic Western (in the vein of Firefly). I wrote it to tie in with the song "Barton Hollow" by The Civil Wars. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had writing it.

Ain't going back to Barton Hollow Devil gonna follow me e'er I go Won't do me no good washing in the river Can't no preacher man save my soul

Bechloe Week 2023 - Day Four - Falling

For Day 4 of Bechloe Week - "I wanna ruin our friendship"

Please Please tell me you know I've got to let you go I can't help falling out of love with you

[ferretboy74]

Bechloe Week 2023: Day Three - The Violet Hour

I tried. I really did, but the story fought me. So here is another offering from my stories from The Civil Wars' album "Barton (Barden) Hollow." This is based on the instrumental piece "The Violet Hour." If you squint really hard, you can maybe see one of the characters being lost ... in a metaphysical way.

Violet squirmed and fussed.  Beca shushed her and stood up.   “Vi, let’s give Mommy some more time to sleep.”  As she bounced her daughter and walked around the room, Beca kept chatting with her baby - her voice soothing Violet.   “You want to hear a story?  I’ll tell my sweet girl a story - even though she can’t understand me.”  Beca chuckled to herself.  Clearly the fatigue was setting in if she already had resorted to dad jokes.

Bechloe Week: Day Two - Looper

In the future, technological advances has made murder a very difficult proposition. The web of cameras, DNA tracking, surveillance drones, and a beefed up police force have combined together to frustrate anyone who wishes to dispose of another human being. There is only one avenue remaining to those needing to erase someone - the past.

Bechloe Week: Day One - 20 Years

For Bechloe Week 2023. Day One: Reunion

Beca writes Chloe a note telling her everything. Professing her love. Nothing happens. Lots of stories have Beca as the clueless one, or the one dragging her feet. Also it is common to see the two drift apart. This one doesn't do either of those things. After 20 Years of spending life together, will the Bellas' Reunion change things between the two women?

[ferretboy74]

Funko never put out a Chloe Pop. So I had to improvise and repurpose a Dr Christine Palmer one. Works for me.

[ferretboy74]

hey dude just wanna let you know ur winterfest fic doesn't seem to be showing right on ff.net. there's huge blocks of code within the text/body.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn’t realize that. I got it fixed.

Merry Pitchmas 2022: Winterfest

This is my Merry Pitchmas piece for @maddiedrawz.  Sorry it is a little late

 https://archiveofourown.org/works/43862017/chapters/110283319

The Bellas are in a shambles. Thanks to Amy's shenanigans, the group is on the verge of being shuttered forever. They have to win the World Acapella Championship in Copenhagen. But they have to get there first. How does a broke and discredited organization come up with over $20,000? Can Christmas magic help The Bellas make their dreams a reality? And, can an elf help Beca and Chloe to overcome their fears to admit to their feelings?

[ferretboy74]

I'm your secret Santa, what kinds of things do you like in what you read?

I’m a big Bechloe fan, and I gravitate more towards fluffy stuff. I like stories with kids in them. Not a big smut fan. But feel free to be creative!
