2024 Team Highlight 41

Our forty first team in the 2024 Reverse Big Bang was @connor-sent-by-cyberlife working with @rking200

@connor-sent-by-cyberlife had an idea for a story in which Connor is a music student who studies singing by day, and sings in an elite nightclub called The Red Room at night. This is where Hank finds him, and proceeds to fall in love, with his voice, and then with the man behind it.

They did an incredible seventeen artworks for this story, but tumblr won't allow us to show them all, so we have a selection for your perusal here

@rking200 took this story idea and turned into the mammoth and incredibly ambitious The Red Room, an explicit rated Hankcon fic which sets out with the premise that Connor is a music student, studying under his vocal coach Elijah Kamski, and Hank is a depressed and lonely man who finds his way into the titular club one night, only to fall for the singer. But then the story takes dramatic turns, including a stalking subplot, and an exploration of Hank's depression and addiction.

It's a long read, and not for the faint of heart, but well worth the time and effort to go and give the writer and artist some love for their work. All the artwork we couldn't fit into this post is also contained in the story on AO3.

Artist sign ups for the 2025 Big Bang close in 4 Days on April 30th

Writer sign ups also close April 30th with submissions for Claims due May 15th.

You can join us on discord to find out more!

2024 Highlight Team 13

Team 13 in the 2024 Reverse Big Bang was @telizere working with @rking200

@telizere wanted to explore an AU where Captain Allen works to keep Connor working SWAT with him after the successful ending of The Hostage. They created one lovingly detailed artwork showing Connor and Captain Allen in all of their tactical gear

@rking200 Worked to bring this story to life with Inventory, a Gen fic centering around Connor and his developing deviancy as he works alongside Captain Allen and the rest of SWAT. It demonstrates the dynamic between the group and Connor's difficulty in finding his place within it, culminating in a hostage situation where an emotional outburst leads Allen to accept Connor as a part of his team.

And here we are, at the final Sunday! ('The Final Countdown' blares in the background) Jokes aside, I hope this last chapter doesn't disappoint as the conclusion to this wild ride. It's been a wonderful time, and while I'm sad to see the fic finished it's nice to have something like this finished. I never thought I would be able to write something this long, this involved, and yet here it is sitting every-so-calmly on my AO3 <3 Thank you for everyone who's been keeping up this entire time, and welcome to anyone who was waiting for it to be completed in order to dive in. An especially big thank you to @dbh-bb and @connor-sent-by-cyberlife, as the event and collab partner that made this all possible. For some reason, Tumblr won't let me put this link in all fancy-like, so please excuse the boring link below ; ~;

((While I was going through my drafts to find the unfinished chapter 3 of stratford handoff, I realized I have a whole giftset of Simon I didn't finish making)) ((like, I know why I forgot about it, it's what sparked the realization behind this set, so it got dropped so I could make the side-by-side analysis instead. But then it just got buried??? I guess??? So I'll have to finish that up sometime soon and post it xD If you're familiar with my Gif Archive, you've already seen them because I loaded them in, but just never officially posted them))

STRATFORD HANDOFF

This is a little tribute I made for @rking200's awesome fic, "Stratford Handoff" where Simon hands Markus his clothes personally inside the bathroom stall and the VERY TIGHT SITUATION ends up turning it into the hottest place inside Stratford Tower. hihihih~

zoomed-in details and tiny rant below the cut!~ 💙

I love the fic very much and have destroyed several pillows since I read it bc i was unable to find the last ttwo parts *froths at the mouth politely* could I pwease get limk? I searched in ao3 too but im very bad at browsing through it so i prolly missed it. you might have also noticed that this is just for the first part, i am alas not strong enough to draw Simon like a swiss cheese, so i did not! this is all fluff and making out because that is fun and hot!
