#star trek secret santa 2020

[iressails]

hi there!!! I’m your content creator secret santa 🤫🎄 how are you?? do you have anything you’re looking forward to this (holiday) season?

I’ve checked out your blog to see what kinds of things you enjoy, but I’d love to hear from you directly 😊

what are some of your favorite shows and movies? who are your favorite characters? ships? do you have any particularly favored music artists lately? maybe specific songs? maybe you even have some favorite books you’d like to share! what about favorite colors?

is there anything you absolutely DON’T want? lol just in case 😅

I hope you have a great rest of your week!

HII!!! I have been preparing for this question for a couple of days and right now immediately I've forgotten everything I know and like, and have ever liked.

[Pause to review my blog and get my thoughts in order]

i love red, green and orange. all the traffic lights baby!

Im looking forward to the holidays it's been... a year.

My ship (just the one rn *sob): I'm currently in Homicide: Life on the Street (1993 - 2000) hell. I love Frank Pembleton and Tim Bayliss with my whole heart, but a 30 year old show and 65 year old men are a bit of a hard ask even from a kind Santa. Bayliss was my first canon bi character on TV and I've not been right since.

Update: Earlier in the year I was heavily into Joanne Davidson/Kate Fleming from Line of Duty (2012 - 2021) until I was gratified by this fic: Bleed into me by Authorette and somehow never thought of it again.

(Yeah not sure about the non-canon (but one half queer in canon) unhappy ending cop duos being my shipping highlight of the year)

Movies: I love Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001), Pride (2014), Barber (2023), Gattaca (1997), Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997), Trust (1990)

Shows: Bob and Rose (2001), Homicide ..(ahahaha) Trust me (2017), Borderliner / Grenseland (2017)

People: I think Rebecca Ferguson, Raul Esparza, Hunter Schaefer, Lesley Sharp, Ethan Hawke, Carla Gugino, Laura Main, Brain Molko, Emma D'Arcy, Vanessa Kirby, Katie McGrath, Caity Lotz, Toby Stephens, Adrienne Shelly, Alexander Skarsgard, Patricia Arquette, Emerald Fennell and David Harbour are just so pretty

Characters: Omar Little (The Wire 2002 - 2008), Catherine Cawood (Happy Valley 2014 - 2023), Christine Chapel (Star Trek Strange new Worlds 2022), Alex Vause (Orange is the new black 2013 - 2019), Nomi Marks (Sense8 2015 - 2017), Joan Holloway/Harris (Mad Men 2007 - 2015), and Deran Cody (Animal Kingdom 2016 - 2022), Charles (Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), Carrie Mathison (Homeland 2011 - 2020), Patsy Mount (Call the Midwife)

As for hates... I dont like too many fancy fonts on gifs, or double exposures that make people look like they have two heads (I'm guilty of this, yes, yes). Not big on the music. My spotify wrapped this year was where I was reminded that I had just listened to Alanis Morissette, The Crystal Method, Bright Eyes and Placebo and things-to-run-to as I always do. Every year. It is an utter wasteland.

Thank you in advance I'm sure whatever you make will be wonderful. I love this exchange so much. Both ways giving and receiving.

Not Your Enemy

A Tuvok/Chakotay drabble for @angsty-violet for the @startreksecretsanta!

After s01e01 Caretaker: Chakotay found out that Tuvok was Janeway's spy, and now he wants answers... Tuvok is just glad that he is only starting this conversation now that they are alone.

"You are one of them." Chakotay states in a flat voice, flatter even than Tuvok's own usually is.

“As are you now, Captain- Commander.” Tuvok corrects himself.

“You know my opinions on Starfleet- but I never thought they had their people sleep with the enemy.”

Tuvok’s eyes widen minisculely.

“They do not.” He forces himself to reply. “I was with you of my own free will.”

“Were you?” Chakotay stares him down. “Even though I am the enemy?”

“You were never my enemy.” Tuvok replies. “I fell for you despite our differences- And you are Starfleet, too, now.”

Chakotay smiles.

@angsty-violet I'm sorry that this turned out so short, I've never written for this pairing before and real life turned out more stressful than expected this past month, too... Hope you still like your gift!

Star Trek Secret Santa 2020

A fic for @saritaadam for @startreksecretsanta for the prompt of “TOS Sulu, Chekov, and Uhura on their own adventures.” Thanks to @that-one-curly-haired-chick and @wreckx for looking it over for me.

“I’m still not sure I get it, “Chekov whispered under the latest round of applause and laughter.

Sulu was already prying the Russian’s communicator out of his hand and sliding it towards the middle of the table. “Not much to ‘get’ here, pal. Just hope you aren’t unlucky.”

Moments ago, when Chekov had been hovering in the doorway of the recreation room to see a group of senior officers huddled around a ring of communicators on a table, his first impressions were those of a cult. The deck officer who glanced up and immediately asked “You in?” did little to assuage that. Yet Chekov was smart enough to know that you could hardly afford to alienate other crewmembers in the early days of your first assignment. If the four hundred something people on this ship were all members of some secret cult, well, it was time for him to learn its laws.

Luckily, Lieutenant Sulu had recognized him and immediately waved him over to sit by him, persuading the others to let him have one round to watch before joining in the fun.

Unfortunately, Chekov was still confused as to what this fun was.

“Is this something for all in Starfleet? A game everyone plays?”

Sulu smiled and shook his head. “Only we’ve got Uhura. It’s basically a free show, Pavel. The price is just—” His words faded as the bosun whistle on the wall panel sounded.

“Kirk to Sulu.”

“Shit.” Sulu groaned.

Uhura rose gracefully to a chorus of cheers and groans, which quieted as she reached the panel.

“Kirk to Sulu.”

“Nyota, be kind,” Sulu begged before he was promptly shushed by the rest of the table.

Uhura gave a wink before extending a graceful finger to the comm. “Sulu here.”

Chekov blinked. The last round that he’d witnessed, he’d assumed Uhura was just answering comms in silly voices for fun. Knowing that her voice was now a perfect impersonation of Sulu’s. . . well, apparently that was the price of the show.

“Sulu, regarding our course to Agaron PrimeI. If we were to make a stop at the Canopus  first, how much would that delay our arrival?”

The table exploded into a muted explosion of giggles as every eye turned expectantly towards Sulu, who had sprung into action. Two fingers, then six, then four. A jabbing finger. Eight fingers. His hands held close together, then spread far apart.

Chekov looked at him as if he’d lost his mind. Uhura kept her cool gaze. “Did you say Canopus, Captain?”

Two, six, then four fingers. Three jabbing motions. Eight fingers, A decidedly frustrated and sarcastic spreading of the arms.

“Yes, Canopus. How long, Sulu?”

A pause. “I’m sorry sir…I’ll need time to work that out.”

“Hmmm. I see. See that it doesn’t take you too long to find a calculator, Lieutenant. Kirk out.”

“TWENTY SIX SOLAR DAYS,” Sulu burst out as soon as the red light on the wall dimmed. “IT’S FOUR POINT 8 LIGHTYEARS, AVERAGING 5.4 WARP, CALCULATED IN THEIR LOCAL TIME, THAT’S TWENTY SIX SOLAR—”

“Don’t tell her, laddie,” chuckled Scotty as the rest of the table burst into laughter. “Sounds to me like you’ve got a call to make.”

Sulu slumped in his chair and dejectedly sipped his drink. “One more round. The captain already thinks I can’t do warp equations at the ready. Five more minutes won’t damage my reputation any further.”

“I’d spend that time practicing your charades,” Uhura added lightly as she came behind Sulu’s chair. “No sun? No days? I’m not a mind reader, you know.”

“Just a life ruiner,” Sulu muttered darkly, but his mouth twitched as he brought his glass to his lips again.

“I do think that I’ve only one more round left in me, so before you all—" Uhura frowned as one of the communicators on the table buzzed with its whistle. “Is that…Pavel’s?”

Chekov’s heart sunk. “Da.” His shiny communicator stood out in the ring of dingy dull devices. “Yes, it’s mine.”

Everyone else reached out to pocket their device, murmuring in surprise as Uhura stayed put behind Sulu.

“That’s not fair to me, he’s only just got here!”

“You’ve had seven days, Nyota! You mastered Klingon barroom slang in half that time.”

“We do tell everyone you’re the best at this, you know.”

Uhura crossed her arms. “I’ll have you know Klingon barroom slang is quite easy to pick up once you’ve mastered one particular expletive. I’ve hardly gotten to spend any time with Pavel so far!”

“Yes, give the lady a break, please. It’s not like I have any noticeable accent to copy,” Chekov added helpfully, wondering why so many people broke out into snickers again.

“Sorry, Nyota. Your own rules, after all,” said Sulu firmly, gracefully reaching across and holding the communicator over his head towards Uhura.

“Sore loser,” Uhura muttered, but opened the communicator anyway and took a deep breath. “Chekov here.”

A mutter of approval circled the table at the reveal of Uhura’s first Russian accent. Not half bad, Chekov admitted to himself. She did sound like she came from St. Petersburg instead of Moscow, but he could take that up with her later.

“Ensign Chekov, this is Mister Spock.”

Whispers of excitement now. Sulu glanced over in time to see Chekov’s mouth beginning to open, and quickly slapped his hand across it. “Rules, Pavel.”

“Yes, Mister Spock.”

“Ensign, I am calling regarding our latest discussion that we had about the—”

Uhura’s eyes met Chekov’s, which were widened in shock. Hurriedly, she cut Spock off. “Da.”

“You know to what I’m referring?”

“Yes.”

“And you are prepared?

“…Da.”

A muffled scream came from behind Sulu’s hand, and other officers had to lean forward to keep Chekov from thrashing out of his chair. Uhura grimaced. “Vell, actually…”

“All can be arranged in more detail the next time we meet, Ensign. I look forward to seeing you at 1900 hours. Spock out.”

Sulu quickly withdrew his hand before it could be bitten off as the Russian threw himself out of his chair and gestured wildly towards the whole table. “CRAZY, ALL OF YOU. INSANE!”

“I tried to keep it neutral! I said ‘Da!” Uhura offered defensively.

“A WERY IMPORTANT ‘DA.’” Chekov broke down into a string of Russian which, if Uhura’s face was any clue, followed a drastic line of thought.

“Pavel, Pavel…” Sulu awkwardly stood next to the frantic ensign and grabbed his shoulder. “I know you just got here, and Mister Spock can seem…well, he’s a lot at first. But whatever you promised, Uhura can help you with it.” He looked up to meet Nyota’s glare. “Uhura and I can help you with it.”

********************************************************************************************************

    Sulu broke into what he hoped looked like a nonchalant jog as he followed Chekov down the hall. Uhura was keeping a much more leisurely pace behind, taking the time to greet every crewmember they passed. 

    “Pavel,” Sulu hissed after having to apologize to the fourth redshirt that Chekov nearly plowed into. “You said that you--Uhura--agreed to present your research to Mr. Spock tonight. We can help you finish, you’ve got plenty of time!”

    Chekov slowed in front of a laboratory door, nervously looking up and down the corridor, and even taking a peek into an adjacent Jeffries Tube. Uhura gracefully ducked her head to hide her smile. “Research is done, only....too much.”

    “Pavel, I don’t--” the door whooshed open and behind him, Sulu heard a particular Klingon expletive.

    “Pavel, you’ve only been here a few days!” Uhura cried in dismay, looking at the parts spread across the floor. “This looks like you spent months dismantling this!”

    “Well, I guess I can’t make fun of Riley for his lab accident anymore,” Sulu said lazily, picking up a piece of circuitry to inspect. “Remind me to never introduce you to him.”

    “This is serious!” Chekov was practically vibrating between the different corners of the room. “I was finishing my research and the machine was slow, so I try to improve it, but then it jammed, and I thought if I took it apart I could find problem--”

    “You know who would be best equipped to fix this?” Sulu murmured to Uhura. “One Mister Spock.”

    “Oh, hush,” Uhura scolded over Chekov’s wounded cry. “There’s always Mr. Scott. He was just with us, I can go--”

    “No, no, no!” Chekov pleaded, his eyes wide. “No senior officers. Nobody important. I cannot risk having the first thing on my record be a demerit!”

    “Or an invoice,” Uhura added lightly.

    “Thanks for the compliment, Pavel. But neither of us are engineers.”

    “Speak for yourself.” Uhura plucked the circuit out of Sulu’s hands. “I’ve done emergency surgery on my array to at least hide most of the damage here.”

    “Fix it enough so that some other poor soul will come and break it next. Sneaky.”

    Chekov looked as though he were about to faint. “It’s not my intention to--”

    “We’re just kidding, Pavel. Grab a hyperspanner. If we’re going to let Mr. Spock in here in time, we’d better hustle.”

********************************************************************************************************

    When Mr. Spock entered the environmental sciences lab at 18:58, he found a more sociable scene than he was anticipating. 

    “Lieutenant Uhura. Mr. Sulu,” he nodded. “What brings you to this part of the ship?”

    “Just getting to know the new Ensign, sir. We’ll be out of your way now. Uhura, would you like to join me for dinner?”

    “Of course, Hikaru.” Uhura grasped Chekov’s hand for a moment, before placing it firmly on the center of the console plate, giving it an extra press before leaving to follow Sulu. “STAY confident, Pavel, and good luck.”

    Sulu waited until they were a whole corridor away before letting his head roll back with a sigh. “He’s going to be trouble.”

    “All the good ones are.” Uhura and Sulu reentered the same rec room as before just as a bosun whistle sounded from the wall panel. 

    “Uhura! I’ll wager my Enolian spice wine that you can’t fool whoever’s on the other end of that one!”

    Uhura only paused for a moment before shrugging and making her way over. Sulu shook his head, dumbfounded. “You never learn, do you?”

    “Be a dear and fetch my dinner and I’ll share some of the wine with you.”

    “Yes, ma’am” Sulu saluted and made his way over to the replicators. He was about to punch in his order when he saw a figure duck behind a receptacle. Curious, he peeked around.

    Captain Kirk was hunched over his communicator. “Ensign, you sound unwell. Should I call Sickbay?” 

    Kirk looked up to glance across the room and immediately met Sulu’s gaze. He smirked, put a finger to his lips, and winked before speaking again. “You really sound congested, Ensign. Don’t make me make this an order.” He then leaned away from the communicator to whisper to Sulu, “Keep quiet about this and I’ll keep quiet about the spice wine.”

    “Aye, sir,” Sulu whispered back and turned back to the replicator. The new Ensign might be a handful, but he would fit right in on this captain’s ship.

[idealisticcatastasis]

This is my gift for @as-always-aa as part of the @startreksecretsanta 2020! You asked for TOS pre-slash Spones, so of course I had to draw that episode. I hope you like it. Happy holidays!

[yes-i-am-happyaspie]

Because it's almost Christmas, here are my top ten favorite Irondad and Spiderson Holiday Fics! [In no particular order] [Plus some shameless self promotion] 🎄

1. new york's santa by @hailing-stars

“Are you Santa?”

Tony rolled his eyes. “You really think I have the time to be a glorified cosplayer?”

“I didn’t even think you knew what a cosplayer was…” said Peter, trailing off. He shook his head, refusing to let his mind wander from the topic. “Where do you keep the reindeer? Can I meet them?”

OR

New York City has it's own Santa, and Peter discovers it's Tony Stark, because of course it is.

2. Christmas Tree Fiasco by @graceknowsirondad

December/10/2020

2020 is a good time to go all out with the Christmas decorations. Peter's stuck in quarantine and in his holiday spirit, a well intended decorating plan lands him stuck in the Christmas tree longer than typically advised.

OR: Peter gets himself stuck in the Christmas Tree for 24 hours and Tony is not happy. It's a good thing he loves this kid.

3. There is No Where Else You Should Be This Christmas  by HappyJuicyfruit

After May unexpectedly passes away, Tony thinks he’s doing a pretty good job of looking after Peter.

That is, until he forgets to include Peter in on holiday plans.

4. simply having a wonderful christmas time [Series] by @frostysunflowers and @hailing-stars

12 wonderful holiday themes fics all one place!

5. I’ll be Sick for Christmas by @obsessionoftheday (TheDisneyOutsider)

“I don’t care what sort of text he may have sent you, he is in no shape to be going out into the cold tonight!”

“Jeez, May, we’ve been co-parenting for months now, do you really think I would go against you on this?”

“No, and by your choice of outfit it doesn’t look like you’re ready for a fancy Christmas Eve dinner either.”

“Didn’t you hear? Christmas Eve got changed to a pajama party!”

6. Petey-Pie's Christmas [Series] by findmeinthestars

Everything related to Peter Parker's Christmas with a side of Irondad and/or Avengers family!

7. Christmas Pranks by @skeeter-110

Both Steve and Tony, after seeing a video on social media, decided to prank their three-year-old with fake Christmas gifts. A bunch of fluffiness ensues.

8. We wish you a merry Christmas (sensory-friendly edition) by @marvelousbutterfly

"Okay, now we're finally done with the presents!" May announced cheerfully, "How did it go here, guys?"

"We assembled the tree, put up the fairy lights and decorated it!!" Peter said excitedly, smiling proudly at his creation, "Except for some other ornaments, and the star, of course" he added quickly, "we're doing it together, it's still tradition!"

With that, May finally looked at the tree, and her smile fell to an uncertain one as she wondered if she should reach out her hands to hold the tree upright.

"Wow" she exclaimed, quickly fixing her expression, "It looks great, you guys!"

or

how Christmas traditions can still be autism-friendly! Lots and lots of domestic fluff!

9. Peter Parker's Pickle Predicament by dontmockmyawkwardness

Peter Parker takes it upon himself to bring Christmas cheer to New York City this year. It's all fun and games until he finds himself in a sticky situation in the middle of Rockefeller Plaza. Can an old man in a red suit fly in and help save Christmas?

10. Tony Stink, Stank, Stunk by violetvaria

Tony was mindlessly coiling Peter’s curls around his fingers, their second episode of Star Trek playing unheeded, when the kid spoke up.

“Misser Stark?”

Tony grinned at the slightly slurred words. He’d figured the teen was almost asleep; he was actually surprised he sounded as coherent as he did.

“Mm-hm?” he hummed back, hand still smoothing through the soft brown hair.

“You’re—” Peter was interrupted by a cavernous yawn. “You’re mean.”

~~~

a continuation of spooderboyandtincan's "tonystank and bananaboy," featuring soft Irondad and lots of cuddles and fluff

And Just because... here are a few holiday fics I've written over the last few years!

1. Peter Parker's December Shenanigans

A collection of related short stories that center around Winter/Christmas

Everything from Advent to New Year's Eve.

2. Secret Sugarplum Spiderling

Peter has been taking ballet for nearly as long as he can remember and all of his hard work has finally paid off. He's been cast as the Cavelier to the Sugarplum Fairy in his Performing Arts School's production of The Nutcracker. It's a big deal and it's going to take up a good bit of time but... he's just not sure he's ready for his mentor to know about that particular hobby just yet.

🎄🩰❄️He's sure it'll be fine ... ❄️🩰🎄

All he has to do is show up at the studio on time, keep his grades up, make sure to see Tony on a regular enough basis that he doesn't worry and try to squeeze in some patrolling in between. It's that simple. Right?

3. Holiday Traditions

When a brief misunderstanding leaves Morgan thinking that Peter doesn’t like Christmas, Peter decides that it would be fun to teach her more about Hanukkah. In order to do so, he and May invite the Starks' to share in some of their holiday traditions.

4. Well, Merry Sickmas, I Guess

Peter is sick, Christmas is right around the corner and May had no idea how to help him. Naturally they end up in Tony’s medbay. It doesn’t take long for Peter to be diagnosed with nothing more than some mild dehydration and a nasty stomach bug. However, knowing she can’t take Peter to just any hospital should things go downhill, leaves May feeling a little nervous.

…And that’s how Peter and May end up spending the holiday with Tony Stark in his Penthouse apartment.

[12/14] Now featuring a short and completely unplanned Bruce Banner centric chapter 2!

5. Distracted by a Dime (while not strictly written to be a Christmas fic, it eventually turned into one.)

Peter Parker thinks he has everything figured out. Where he can eat, sleep and make a little bit of money. What he needs to do in order to continue attending Midtown High and being Queen’s friendly neighborhood Spider-man. How to keep his entire situation under wraps and most importantly, who he can trust.

Then, along comes Tony Stark with an offer he can’t refuse. The plan is to remain professional, to not get too close to the Stark-Rogers’ family. Not getting comfortable means not slipping up and saying anything that he can’t take back.

...but for Peter- things rarely go as planned...

Masterpost of all the fic I wrote in 2020

(Because I wrote a lot. Never wrote that much in a year!)

Star Trek fics:

For Your Sake: TOS, G, One Shot, 2,941 words, James Kirk&Leonard McCoy&Spock

Spock contracted the Vulcan flu. He could continue as usual so long as he wore a mask, cleaned his hands and stayed six feet away from everyone.

Easy enough, if his friends weren't so physical.

Dream of the Heart: TOS, E, WIP, James Kirk/Spock

Jim Kirk has all he desires in life: a great and prestigious job as Starfleet Academy's librarian, an amazing husband he loves more than anything, a family, peace and quiet.

Life could not be more perfect. Except for the hallucinations.

Trektober:

The Second Fallen: TOS, AOS, M, One Shot, 1,787 words, Mirror!Kirk/Mirror!Spock

For the first time since James T. Kirk became captain of the ISS Enterprise, him and Spock are alone in the same room. And it doesn't go like any of them planned

There is Life Again: TOS, G, One Shot, 3,406 words, James Kirk/Spock

After another evening when Spock find Jim stargazing and missing his past life, he decides to do something nice for his bondmate

Regrets: TOS, G, One Shot, 3,429 words, James Kirk/Spock

After a precipitated escape from an alien planet, Jim and Spock find themselves stuck on a shuttlecraft until The Enterprise can pick them up.

Only issue is: the shuttle may not have enough power left to keep them alive until then.

(Bonus: Podfic version)

You Filled My Dreams: TOS, G, One Shot, 996 words, James Kirk/Spock/Leonard McCoy

Jim made a nightmare, waking up his lovers with him. He realized he is not the only one with bad dreams.

The Only Choice: TOS, E, One Shot, 965 words

Since Spock entered pon-farr, he had been incapable of concealing his end of their bond, and T'Pring had been experiencing his plak tow, receiving impressions; faraway, distorted, muted; of his impulses, and feeling his disgust and shame.

And she was tired of their situation.

Secret Santa:

Under My Touch: TOS, E, One Shot, 2,800 words, James Kirk/Spock

Jim and Spock had been together for seventeen days. Seventeen days with overly filled schedules for both of them, and little time to give to their relationship. The only real alteration they made was to move their chess dates from the rec-rooms to their quarters, where they could freely talk and exchange kisses. There had been numerous kisses. But nothing more.

And Spock was frustrated, and Jim seemed determinate to not make love to him.

You Walked To Me In The Corridor: TNG, G, One Shot, 1100 words, Data/Geordi Laforge

Data is trying to write a poem for Geordi. He ends up both less and more successful than he imagined.

Original works (in French):

A La Clarté Des Etoiles: G, One Shot, 1,095 words

Sur le flanc de la montagne, un véhicule brave le couvre-feu.

Les deux hommes à son bord décident de s'arrêter et observent la ville en contre-bas, attendant l'explosion qu'ils ont planifié.

Seule les étoiles entendent leurs doutes et leurs espoirs.

La Ville Perdue: G, One Shot, 8,861 words

Les professeurs Onasis; Theodoros, un petit humain réfléchis, et Filippa, une centaure au caractère bien trempé ; sont connus dans le milieu archéologique pour leurs disputes interminables, mais surtout pour les découvertes révolutionnaire. Quand ils proposent à une de leur étudiante, Daphne, d'accompagner leur famille dans leur nouvel, et le plus fou, de leur projet, la jeune dryade accepte immédiatement.

Elle est prête à affronter les chamailleries, les journées interminables de marche et ses sentiments pour le fils de ses professeurs, mais surtout l'eau salée.

2020 Writer Memes

I was tagged by the lovely @matan4il. Thank you! 💜

Writer Interview

Name(s): Tabitha, Tabby, Tabs (username tabbytabbytabby)

Fandom(s): So so many. My favorite ones this year were 9-1-1, 9-1-1 Lonestar, Chicago Fire, Prodigal Son, The Rookie, The Mandalorian, Anne With An E, Teen Wolf, Merlin, Hawaii Five-0, Agents of SHIELD, Julie and the Phantoms, The Umbrella Academy, The Witcher, Star Trek Discovery, The Good Place, New Amsterdam, The Resident, Roswell: New Mexico, All American, Doctor Who, and Once Upon A Time. I feel like I’m forgetting some. 2020 lasted a million years.

Where you post: AO3, mostly. Sometimes I double post to Tumblr if I have the time/feel like it.

Most Popular One Shot (by kudos) Overall/this year: High Hopes (906) (Sterek)

Most Popular Multi-Chapter (by kudos) Overall/This Year: Gonna Make This Place My Home (433) (Thiam). This one was started in 2019, but I finished it this year so it counts.

Favorite story you’ve written so far: I’m going to take this to mean so far in 2020, and not like overall. Because that is far too much pressure. Even 2020 is hard since there are 203 things. All Doors Lead To You was one of my favorites I did this year though. It was an endeavour plotting that out but I had a lot of fun with it.

Fic you were nervous to post: I get a little nervous with all of them. Even with how much I’ve written, it still happens. But the one I was probably most nervous about was The Best Present I Ever Got, which was major character death. I write MCD alot for the Teen Wolf fandom, but it makes me nervous doing it for other fandoms because I never know what the reception will be same. Same with unrequited love, which is why I was also nervous about Somebody Else’s Arms.

How do you choose your titles? I should say now that I usually hate naming things. Especially lately, when I’ll think of a title for something and then realize I’ve already used it before (which is bound to happen with 800 fics but still). Sometimes the titles come from lines from the fic or something about it, sometimes the prompt itself if there was one, and then other times song titles. I’ve started a doc with lines from songs that can work as titles so maybe that’ll help me be more creative with them 😆

Do you outline? It depends on the fic, really. I usually have a doc with notes if it’s a longer fic that I can turn to. I have outlined for a few though. Especially for Quest For Camelot, because it helps me know what I have planned for the chapters and who I wanted to write for. Which helped after I took some time away from it. I had an outline when I was writing All Doors Lead To You as well, which helped me keep track of which universe I wanted to have in which chapter and colors for doors, etc. 

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: I’m pretty excited for my fic for the Buddie Big Bang. If it turns out how I want it to, it’s definitely going to be one of my favorites that I’ve done. I have a Sterek fic I’ve been working on that I’m pretty excited about too and hope to have done in the next couple of weeks.

AO3 stats (for 2020)

Amount of works posted: 203

Total word count: 608,437

Fandoms written for: 9-1-1, 9-1-1 Lonestar, Teen Wolf, Chicago Fire, Merlin, All American, Agents of SHIELD, Hawaii Five-0, Chicago PD, Prodigal Son, Criminal Minds, Star Wars, The Rookie, The Witcher, The Good Doctor

Fandom events you’ve written for: Fandom Trumps Hate, Fandom AU Fest, Jenna Geyer Appreciation Week, Dr. Geyer Appreciation Week, Buddie Big Bang, Thiam Big Bang, Sterek Week, Sterek Secret Santa, A small disord Secret Santa, 9-1-1, Crack Week, Secret Elf Buddie Discord fic exchange, Buddie Discord Advent,  Sprint September, Whumptober, TW Bingo, Greenberg Appreciation Week, Laura Hale Appreciation Week, Merthur Glompfest, Scisaac Week, and maybe more? This year has been a blur. 

Pairings written for: We’ll start with 9-1-1 and end with all the Teen Wolf pairings to make organization easier. Everything else in between. Here we go... Buddie, Jevan,  Eddie/Josh, Buck/TK, Arthur Pendragon/Josh Russo, Greenberg/TK Strand, Brettsey, Chenford, Merthur, Geraskier, McDanno, Tarlos, Daisysous, Luke/Penelope, Finnpoe, Melendaire, Ashivia, Malcolm Bright/Derek Hale, Thiam, Sterek, Steo, Chris Argent/Dr. Geyer, Scott/Nolan, Scisaac, Berica, Morey, Therek, Isaac/Theo, Greenberg/Derek, Isaac/Jackson, Danny/Theo/Jackson, Halemore, Sceo, Danny/Jackson, Danny/Greenberg, Isaac/Danny, Liam Dunbar’s Mother/Liam Dunbar’s Father

Favorite fic you’ve written this year: I answered this above and said Doors, but here I want to mention my Geraskier fic I’m Mr. Brightside because it’s something I’m really damn proud of. And also a mention to my Theo/Derek fic Strangers on a Train where they meet The Doctor. It wasn’t something many people read, but I had fun writing it. ALSo, my Jevan fake dating AU You’re My Favorite Place

Goals for next year: Continue writing and being productive. It’s going to be hard over the next few months since I’m in the home stretch of nursing school (done in June). But I want to write when I can and just keep enjoying it.

Gonna tag (and sorry if you’ve done this already. I’m late here): @lovelylittlegrim @hazelestelle @novemberhush @manonisamelon @acejuddryder @schweetheart @theproblemwithstardust @dopemixtape @halinski @snaeken @li0nh34rt @lightfiretomypaperwings @imjustafangirl-nobodylovesme @underthegallowws @theladyandthewolves @seylaaurora (and anyone else that wants to do this, just say I tagged you!)

The Naked Then

part 2 of my @startreksecretsanta gift to @ilikeds9 ! This turned out more like a mix between the naked time and the naked now than purely the naked now, but I hope you enjoy anyway. happy holidays!

Title: The Naked Then

Prompts: “the naked now” but it’s lower decks, and transporter accident.

Main Pairings: Mariner/Tendi, Rutherford/Billups 

Summary: “An away mission is only routine until it isn't. Horned gorillas, sentient tar, spores that make you hook up with your best friend's sister; all disasters I've personally experienced on missions that should have been a walk in the park.” - Cmdr. Ransom, 1x03

When Rutherford messes around with the transporter again, he unknowingly sends himself a few years into the past, before he was stationed on the Cerritos.

2020 Review

I don't need to comment on how 2020 was a strange year for everyone, and a hard year for many people.

On the domestic front? Well, all of my adult children are living with their parents - hello brave new world. Work got pretty busy (except for that five weeks in lockdown) and I got older and a wee bit more tired. I think that 2020 probably left twelve year olds feeling older and a wee bit more tired, though.

On the fandom front, it was a passable year, actually. I didn't write as much as I wanted but I did write something. I discovered a new fandom love in the shape of The Magnus Archives, even if I fear I am madly out of step with what the wider fandom is interested in.  I did the thinking and planning for changing Sentinel Thursday to a comm based less on LJ and more on AO3.  I went to Get/Together and greatly enjoyed it, especially taking into account how it taking place was in doubt for much of the year.

Fic this year as follows:

Media Informed Culture  A little gen drabble about Blair in front of that podium in the series finale of The Sentinel

Different Perspective  Ficlet. A death story, which are things I write now and again. Jim/Blair, The Sentinel

Comfort at a Time Like This  A short fic featuring Blair with a stomach bug and a Jim who knows the value of dialling down while being a good friend.

Supposedly Intellectual  Blair has an epiphany in bed with the human lie detector

Learning  A little fic focusing on Jim’s fascination with Blair’s mouth

The Offering  Written anon in 2019 but claimed by me in 2020.  A very dark drabble for Star Trek Deep Space Nine.  Written to the prompt, your goodie-good fave as a serial killer, Julian in this case.

Afterglow of Day My Spook Me story for Hannibal NBC.  After that cliff fall, Will’s being haunted one way or another. Slash, and my second death/ghost story this year. I do have my tropes, it would seem.

Wilderness Mementoes A bit of gen action for The Sentinel, written as a Secret Santa story for Unbelievable2.  This is also, at 4,600 words, my longest story this year. Longfic for 2021, maybe?

The Michigan Lighthouse  I have written weird crossovers of all sorts, so why not this one?  The Sentinel and The Magnus Archives, two tastes that probably only taste great to me, but still. Yummy. :-)  Gertrude meets a talkative young man while she’s travelling in the US for - well, let’s call it work, shall we.

When you include work on unpublished WIPs, I wrote about 21,000 words this year.  More than that for 2021 would be nice.

Happy New Year to anyone reading this. :-)
