Congratulations to everyone who participated in Day 1 of Elucien week! We had so many contributions for Day 1 that we actually hit the limit for how many people we could @ mention in a post! It's an incredible problem to have, but it's meant we needed to split up our masterlist into two parts. Below you'll find all the creators who submitted fics for Day 1 💕

December Wrap Up

What the fuck, how is the year over? I'm finally home after an extended visit with family over the holidays on account of the whole blizzard thing - a whopping 13(?) days of sleeping on the couch and eating Christmas candy and not knowing what day it was - and now you're trying to tell me that it's 2023?? In this economy??

Things I Wrote

Babes, I wrote nothing. I wrote zero things. Not a single writerly thought entered my brain this month.

Things I Read

Word count is going to skew a little higher this month because I *finally* read the final chapter of LaOHA (started way back in April and very poetically finished on Dec 31). Also, a large number of fics can be attributed to holiday group reads over in the RoR discord server. I'm delighted that we're making this a little holiday tradition 💝

Additionally, I was lucky enough to lend my voice to a podfic project. Over 20 voices came together to bring All I Want For Christmas (Is For You To Stop Talking) to life, with a chapter released each day leading up to Christmas. It was such a fun way to experience the story, and you can find the podfic version here!

Things I'm Currently Reading (Heading into 2023)

Well, shoot. I made a whole little list for myself in my notebook. Titled it "To Read Before End of Year" and everything. And yet (and yet, and yet).

So I guess heading into 2023, I have 9 WIPs I'm following that I need to catch up on. I started both Chosen by 5moreminutes and Disappearances by @batmansymbol this year (one as part of a group read and the other listening along to live recordings). Life happened and I never finished either, so they are top of my list for 2023. We had also started Contradictions as a group read before life rudely got in the way there, too. Never fear, @ambpersand my love, my horny deranged screams are coming for you this year!!

That's all for now, my doves! I hope you all had a lovely holiday season. Stay tuned for the annual summary stats post for 2022!

CLASPERS

Draco is a mermaid and Hermione is not. Still, malfoys often get their way 😏

“You’re a mermaid!”

Draco blinked at the muggle—for that’s what his father had said those that lived above the sea were called—and bit back the urge to dive back beneath the waves and never come back.

“A what?” he asked instead, slowly swimming closer to the girl perched atop the rock. Her knuckles were white as they gripped the edge of it and stared down at him.

“A mermaid,” she repeated, tilting her head and staring at his tail. She was looking at him with barely concealed wonder. Draco sometimes caught his parents staring at each other like that and he ignored that shudder that thrilled through him at being on the receiving end.

“I guess.”

“Is that not what you call yourself?”

“My names, Draco,” he huffed, staring up at her.

Every Little Ting She Does (Is Magic) by monsterleadmehome [89 pages]

“I’m sorry, Granger… you want to what?”

“Go together! To all the weddings—it’ll work out perfectly. People will stop asking about my love life, and if you happen to meet a girl you want to take home, I can be your wing woman!”

__

Draco agrees to be Hermione's date for wedding season. He doesn't expect to fall in love.

Guess who’s been working on chapter 2 of She’s the Snake?

[reylocharityanthology]

A teaser from  @monsterleadmehome‘s fic, Let It Rain, You And I Remain The Same:

Rey finishes trudging up the beach to where the sand becomes more compact and eventually turns to darker soil just on the edge of the forest. She finds a large rock and plops down to remove her boots and shake the sand out.

She really doesn’t miss living in a desert.

Then the energy shifts around her, and she hears the telltale sound of the bond opening. “Ben,” she breathes. “Where are we?”

He’s standing, though she can’t see his surroundings. “I’m not sure… I think I read about this area once, an old species inhabited this whole system, very secretive. There doesn’t seem to be any sentient beings here, though.”

“At least not yet.”

He makes a face that reminds her of Han and suddenly she realizes, maybe she doesn’t know this Ben Solo as well as she thought. His soul, she knows intimately, but the rest of him? Maybe not so much. He turns to the left, looking at something. “This place is so big.”

“I know. I saw the plume of smoke from your ship, I think. If that’s what it was, you might be on the other side of the island from me.”

He frowns. “I will find you, Rey.”

The complete work will be released on February 14 as part this year’s Reylo Charity Anthology: Across the Stars. Donate today to receive your copy!

Kind of a weird request, but are there fics where they're in a secret relationship for years? But one that starts post-Hogwarts. Most fics of long-term secret relationships start in Hogwarts and the ones that start after are only hidden for a little while

it started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?- monsterleadmehome - E, 3 chapters - Hermione Granger has had it up to here with Draco Malfoy’s bullying and nonsense. She ought to slap him–she plans to as she walks over towards him, but then a better thought occurs to her. What if she kissed him instesad? The AU where Hermione kisses Malfoy instead of hitting him third year and everything changes.

Forget Me by Emara88 - M, 26 chapters -  The war ended over two years ago, but Hermione still feels the echoes of strange memories from that time, as though something is missing or has been taken from her. When she sees Draco Malfoy at a Ministry ball and collapses, falling into a coma, the truth about their past together is revealed.

Muggle-Born - winterwells - M, WIP - “I’m sorry,” he blurted. Hermione huffed a humourless laugh. “You’re going to have to be more specific, Malfoy. I wish I could say I had a list of all the things you could be sorry for, but that seems more like something you’d do. I bet it’s another pure-blood tradition. Keeping a record of wrongs.” Malfoy only responded by pulling out a small folded-up tapestry and shoving it into her hand that was not preoccupied with holding her wand towards him. “What’s this?” she asked, already knowing what the fabric was, just confused about why he gave it to her. “An explanation.” She furrowed her brow in confusion, but then he jutted his chin - a gesture for her to unfold the tapestry. Hermione rolled her eyes and carefully unfolded the item. Her initial reaction was simply confusion as she read over its contents, but it quickly turned to shock. “Oh,” was all she could utter. “Oh,” he echoed. Dramione secret family heritage with a twist AU

Res Ipsa Loquitur - Halliwell19 - M, 63 chapters, Words: 433,069 - What if Draco Malfoy was sorted into Gryffindor? This is a retelling of the Harry Potter series as if Draco had been in Gryffindor and a slow burn Dramione friends to lovers story.

√ Dramione (Draco x Hermione) √ Setting: 3 years later √ 1 chapter √ My score: ❤❤ (okay) √ Rating: M √ Language: **** (a few mistakes)

Hermione Granger's heat wasn't supposed to start for another two weeks. But that was before the intoxicating scent of an unknown alpha triggered it as they passed in the atrium. Can she make it through the rest of the day before starting her leave? And who is the mysterious alpha who smells like her perfect mate?

My notes: Animalistic version of the alpha/omega thrope.

Brooklyn Bridge Blues (T, Ch 8/9)

My 'Happy New Year!' update...

Read the new chapter here.

Read from the start.

Excerpt:

“Peanut, you need to be careful. Don't get swept up into moving too fast with Ky- with Ben,” Finn corrected himself as he looked at her with worried eyes, “He’s gotta be used to girls who…”

He trailed off to look helplessly at Rose who rolled her eyes at him.

“What he’s trying to say is don’t jump into anything with him.” She paused and waved her hand at Rey. “Well, you already jumped, but try to take it slow from here on out, okay?”

“What she said.” Finn snapped his fingers and pointed to Rose, nodding vigorously. “Guys like him are-”

“Ben isn’t like that,” Rey interrupted him, flushing as she did, knowing she sounded stereotypical. “He doesn’t do groupies, he’s really a quiet kind of a guy.”

so....it is the fabulous @monsterleadmehome‘s birthday. and i tried to do her some level of justice by creating a panel for my favorite part of her last reylo fic  caelum et infernum. if you haven’t read it already, it is an AMAZINGLY cool reylo/supernatural crossover with alpha demon hunter!kylo and omega prophet!rey. and this scene is so smoldering and fluffy and GOOD. so please excuse my skritch scratch excuse for comic-ing and go read her fic HERE!

(click on it to get rid of tumblr’s blurry nonsense)

@monsterleadmehome - you are an unbelievable writer, a hilarious friend, and a gift to this fandom! i am so glad our paths have crossed!

monsterleadmehome replied to your post “Will we actually survive Adam’s SNL appearance though? Will we?”

Probably not ��

tokis-aquarium replied to your post “Will we actually survive Adam’s SNL appearance though? Will we?”

If there's a Kylo or Ben Swolo parody, we're dead. Lol.

Or if they have someone pretending to be Rey and they’re basically riffing off the assumption that Reylo is canon. That’s another situation in which we’re dead, i think lol
