#none of it's really finished but there's some bits and bobs and wip snippets (martian au and lockwood & co au mostly)

what i wrote in 2024

thank you @mundanememory for tagging me! i'll tag @kittenjonas @ridingupsaturn and @interdisciplinary-disaster if you want to :)

i'm going to link everything on ao3 but heads up that everything is locked to registered users only (lock your rpf!) so you'll need to be logged in to see it.

not in chronological order but broken up by category:

standalone ao3 works

with patience, that of saints: mutual pining rum my beloved

build a fire in this house: established tadejonas via outside pov attila

relief, it knocks me over when you talk: vaguely established tadejonas, post vuelta 2023.

mi corazón, latiendo por ti: jonas/juan vuelta 2023 first date

still believe in summer days: established tadejonas domesticity post-itzulia crash and pre-giro. my most kudo'd fic and tied for my favorite thing i wrote this year.

cycle prompt tuesday prompt fills (all on tumblr as well)

stained glass variation of the truth: jonas/tadejonas, "color" prompt. the start of my descent into second person pov madness.

wondering (are you my best friend?): jonas-focused second person, "friendship" prompt

hold you tight (like the moon in the arms of the sky): established wout/jonas/christophe early-season, "technology" prompt

i'll build a fire, you fetch the water: established tadejonas offseason cooking together, "extra" prompt. honestly probably one of my favorite cpt fills that i did.

to my word now i'll be true: tadejonas "read" prompt, second person pov strikes again. this was fun to write.

the game is on again: remco/matteo "play" prompt, mini golf shenanigans.

lining's silver, grass is greener (i'm on my way): established wout/jonas/christophe round 2, "illness" prompt

in love with you (just something humans do): tadejonas "warm" prompt. tadej is really into jonas's unshaved legs, i don't make the rules.

there's only 1 you prompt fills

an indentation in the shape of you: pippo/jonas "gentle" prompt. we all saw that tirreno press conference. the ones who get it get it.

been lookin' at you (since half past two): jonas/juan "spare" prompt

touch my soul (you know how): matteo/jonas "touch" prompt. half matteo/jonas, half jonas character study. longest thing i wrote this year and tied for my favorite.

happy (for a love that felt right): mikkel/jonas "secret" prompt. the world needed mikkel/jonas and i am but a humble servant. mads pov i love you.

tour de france fanwork classification

not going to list these all individually because there's 20 of them but this was semi-inspired by @mundanememory's droplets idea - wrote for each of the @wtfanworkclassification prompts and limited the word count to the length of the corresponding stage in kilometers. all of them are on both tumblr and ao3. this was insanely hard, much harder than i anticipated it would be when i started because of some irl stuff that was going on at the same time. took me way longer than the actual tour de france - the final work was posted the same day the vuelta started - but i'm very proud of how this turned out. not all the fills are my favorite thing i've ever written but it let me play with a lot of random ideas i'd been fiddling with, so that's fun. what the fuck is a kilometer, baby!

cycling rpf drabble advent calendar fills

when the sun came up (you were looking at me): jonsa/urška, implied ot4 with tadej and trine. domestic fluff for urška's birthday.

and after that, who knows what else?: jonas/mørkøv, soon-to-be inappropriate workplace relationship as if jonas cares

my year in review: ao3 says i published 39 works in 2024 for a total of 17,782 words, which is kind of crazy to me considering the vast majority of what i posted was less than 1k words, including 18 works under 200 words. if we include a few of the bits and bobs i posted unfinished on tumblr (like the trick or treat ask game) then it goes up a bit but probably not by much.

top 3 ships/tags: most common ship was (by far) tadejonas with 16 tags, then matteo/jonas with 4 and a bunch more with two. most common tags: established relationship, 2024 tour de france, and pov second person, which tracks lol. only posted 7 things on ao3 without jonas tagged, and really only 4 of those don't have anything to do with him, so. shrug emoji. i also started (i think?) 5 new ship tags on ao3 so that's fun.

something i'm proud of: generally speaking the to1u fills (especially the matteo/jonas one) and the post-itzulia tadejonas fic are my favorite things i wrote and imo probably the best, probably because i tinkered with those the longest before posting. also proud of the tdf writing project i did, even if i'm not super proud of the individual fics.

writing goals for 2025:

i did a lot of very very short pieces last year which is fine, we write what we can write and i do like the fun challenge of working within word count limits and also just getting things across in fewer words - but i think in 2025 i want to try to focus on posting a few longer things. not like, crazy long - but i didn't post a single thing over 2k last year so we can start there. i've got a few things i've been working on that, if i can get them finished, would ideally be in the 5k-10k range.

i'd also like to try and be a bit better with consistency but i don't really know what that looks like so i don't have a hard and fast goal on that. but posting at least one thing a month is not unreasonable so maybe. we'll see.

not just related to my own writing but i want to be a better fic reader/commentor this year - and also better at replying to comments on my own fics. again, no hard and fast goals but that's something i want to focus on.

god this is so long, i'm so sorry. happy 2025 and here's to another year of rpf'ing around the sun 🫡
