Too Far Gone

He hated it, the power she held over him. That she'd never needed her magic to see into the poisoned depths of him. The pressure that never seemed to escape the cage of his ribs. The ache, worse than any blade that had pierced his skin. Worse than any broken bone or wound from a Burned One.

And yet he loved it. That the never-ending pain only ever dulled when he was with her.

A 2023 @winxsource Holiday Exchange gift for my angsty soulmate, fellow Bloody!Riven enthusiast, and multi-fandom friend, @leadingrebel. It is an honor and joy to gift you the sweetest and most blood-splattered story I could come up with. And an endless thank you to the amazing @skloomdumpster and @fitztragedy for all their effort in bringing this event to life with their special holiday magic xx

Worlds Unconquered

Happy @winxsource HEXmas to my giftee, @veritaserum07! You gave me such a fun series of prompts to consider, but after much deliberation of how to combine our shared interest in holiday-themed romcoms with our mutual love of Saul whump, I chose the latter. Thanks for chatting with me on anon! I hope you enjoy "Die Hard: Silrah Edition."

Summary: Farah vanished this morning but won't tell him to where, Sky's just enrolled in Alfea and has started dating the princess, and the last thing Saul wants to do is attend Solaria's annual Solstice Gala. He probably should have stayed home. Pre-canon but canon compliant.

Wish That You Were Here

hi @forestelfo I was your secret santa for the FTWS Holiday Exchange! ❤️ Here’s a silrah x stellatrix gift for you, I loved making this and they are my absolute favourite fate ships, hope you like it and happy holidays love!! xoxo  

[myalchod]

If this were a fanciful children’s tale, then he might think the world has provided a thread of fire to follow beyond the horizon. This is not how Saul Silva had expected to spend the darkest night of the year.

Happy HEX, @astrid-v! I hope you enjoy your gift half as much as I enjoyed screaming at all the ideas your prompt and answers gave me. 💙💙

Folded Paper Stars

Farah is back, hidden, and safe from harm. Now, all Saul has to do is make sure she stays that way. (Silrah angst, hurt/comfort, whump, 3k this chapter, 12kish total when I get around to editing the rest).

Chapter 1 here.

Written for @faytalepsy as part of the @winxsource HEX. I was so excited when the mods asked me to pinch hit this, since I loved the prompts and we had so many interesting conversations when we worked on the RBB together, I thought I could bundle them into something for you. I hope you like and merry belated Christmas x

“Of course it’s you,” she laments, readjusting the strap of her backpack as she faces Riven, the crude, arrogant Specialist from Stella’s class who she actively avoids after their less-than-friendly first meeting on the Training Grounds. “What’s she doing here?” he asks like she’s something stuck under his shoe. “Musa is your partner for your retake of this assignment,” Ms. Johansen replies, clearly catching on to their animosity but choosing to ignore it. “Yeah, no, that’s not gonna happen,” he states with a finality that’s completely misplaced. Season 2 AU - Musa and Riven are forced to pair up and learn more about each other for a class assignment. Their only common ground is the fact that neither of them wants to be here. At all. No, really. Written for the @winxsource Holiday Exchange as a gift for @fitztragedy.

Happy Holiday Exchange @blablaadje !!

Since I haven't written anything in a while, especially Skloom, I hired our resident Skloom Queen for help, @skloomdumpster (she also made these gifs!) Also since we couldn't finish it all in time you'll have to wait for the next chapters ... 😅 Hope you'll enjoy!

[sklooms]

happy hex! @bibaybe

I hope you enjoy the gift, and have a happy new year! ❤️ 1/2

Happy HEX!!

But they had committed to openness, hadn't they? Honesty, something of the like?

Unforeseen conversations and Christmas shenanigans with our favourite Alfean family (and Bloom, of course. Someone needs to add that pinch of trouble after all.)

@foullightdiplomatcreator-blog, here's your little gift all wrapped up and ready to be read! :))

I really really hope you like it and I also hope that my little moodboard could maybe put an extra smile on your face :)

Merry Christmas!

Hello Fate Fandom!

Can you believe it's been a whole year since our last Holiday Exchange? We are so glad to read, watch, and otherwise enjoy all the works you've made so far this year.

We are hosting another Holiday Exchange to share our immense love for the show and our community, so check out the details below the cut!

The Holiday Exchange is officially started. It works like a secret santa: You receive something, but you also have to gift something.

You will fill in a form telling us what you want to be gifted and what you're willing to give. We (the winxsource team) will match you up with someone with similar preferences and send you the details for you to make your gift. All of this is a secret, so you’ll only reveal who you’re gifting once posting begins.

All gifts will be exchanged/posted between 26th and 30th of December.

You can make or choose to receive a fic, a fanart, gifset or fan video.

The rules are as follows:

To sign up, please follow WinxSource and fill out this ~google form~

As a matter of fairness, if you're writing a fic, please make your story at least 1000 words, a gifset at least 2 gifs long, or a video at least 1 minute long.

Please note that this is an exchange for fictional characters, not real people fiction (RPF).

Remember this is a secret, so once you get your assignment, you’re welcome to contact the person you’ll be gifting as long as you do it on anonymous. Part of the fun is trying to guess who’s doing a gift for you, after all.

If you sign up for the event but something happens that you can't produce the gift in time, you must contact us and let us know so we can find someone else to make the gift in your place.

Two weeks before Christmas we'll reveal the posting schedule, so please only post your gift on the assigned day so no one gets overwhelmed with content!

Our event timeline:

Sign ups: October 16th until October 28th.

Assignments/matches sent out: November 1st.

You'll work on your gift from November 1st until December 25th

Posting will happen from December 26th until December 30th

Posting your gift:

When posting on tumblr, please tag #winxsource and #ftwsholidayexchange within the first 5 tags so we can reblog it! Fic writers can also add their works to the collection on ao3 (ftws_holidayexchange21)

When you post, please @ the user you made the gift for!

We can't wait to see what this amazing fandom will produce!

ACT II | Be my mirror, my sword and shield

Grey is the spare. His parents only want him to bring his brother back. But he already has a brother. Sebastian.

A moment of warm and christmas-y happiness for Riv and Sky

Happy HEX day for you, @queen-of-the-wallflowers15!

[faytalepsy]

It’s finally the 26th so happy HEX everyone!! I had the honor to make a gift for the lovely @loulis-fate who requested Silrah and “someone being secretly evil!”

I hope you like it!! 💕✨

Special thanks to @simplytheevebest for helping me out and listening to all my lengthy brainstorm rants!!

[partiallypearl]

At 8:45am in her Monday Film Directing and Producing class, Musa decides that she has to drop out.  It’s the only way she’ll get through this week. She can’t continue like this.

— or in which musa is a film student trying to finish her final assignment for the semester, and riven is a charismatic actor who finds his way into her film, and her heart.

happy holidays @stormywhitelies! i hope you enjoy this <3
