@feast-of-lights wot secret santa gift for @asongofstarkandtargaryen from @miekkamaisteri!

Well, happily I’m an excellent swordsman. I came here to be a [warder]. I’d like your help... I know what people see when they look at me: rich, beautiful, useless idiot.

— Audition Tape for Gawyn Trakand, Wheel of Time Season 2 

@queenofmalkier Hello I'm your Wheel of Time Secret Santa for the year! I'm so happy that Gawyn is one of your faves, since he is also my fave - perhaps only second to the DragonCube - but he seems to be so vigorously roasted EVERYWHERE so I HAVE TO DRAW HIM and there you go 🥲

Choose to draw him with his fellow Younglings. Ah, those were the good days. Get to play with a more vibrant palette than I am used to, and hope you like my take! Happy Holidays ;;w;;

Happy holidays @bannerman-for-the-band! Here’s a wintery Perrin following a bloody trail in the snow-covered woods, along with some canine company 😄

Merry Christmas, @butterflydm

(yes, I'm your Secret Santa and yes, I've read trackless domain at first just to figure out what to gift but then I got really involved and ended up loving it and I'm so excited for the new chapters <3)

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Wheel of Time (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Rand al'Thor/Mat Cauthon Characters: Mat Cauthon, Rand al'Thor Additional Tags: book canon, Post-Canon, spoilers through book 14: a memory of light, Friends to Lovers, Deviates From Canon, WoT Secret Santa 2022 Summary:

Written for @matrimcauthon21 for the 2022 Wheel of Time Secret Santa.

After the Last Battle, Mat finds himself at loose ends until he runs across someone who leads him to a new purpose.

Pips greeted him with a soft whicker, and Mat stroked his nose. A good, sturdy gelding. Deep enough chest and strong enough legs to carry Mat through the Last Battle, but not showy. Tied up next to Pips, Jeade'en tried to nose in to get a pet as well. After a moment, Mat relented.

Jeade'en was too tall for his personal tastes, but he- he appreciated that Elayne had let him take the horse out of her stables.

Tai'daishar had gone missing after the Last Battle. Mat hadn't known him well but he'd been a stoic horse and trained for war, so Mat wasn't sure what could have driven him to run off. Hopefully he hadn't ended up facing Trollocs on his own. But at least Mat could take care of Jeade'en. He'd always had- he'd always had a soft spot for horses.

Marriage between Mat and Tuon is never dull, but Seanchan customs continue to surprise him.

@highladyluck

LISTEN. I was so nervous about writing this, and I was originally doing a whole introspective thing on Tuon confronting her ability to potentially channel, but then I panicked.

I hope you enjoy my look at Tuon and Mat after the Last Battle, before they head to Seanchan to do their thing. I figured with her pregnant and everything so unsettled, they wouldn't have gone straight to yet another war, and I wanted to poke at Seanchan customs since we get so much about them but not NEARLY enough.

Rules: tag 9 people you want to get to know better or catch up with (or tag whomever) Tagged by @dorrinverrakai1 Favourite Color: blues / greens / purples / black Last Song: Call out My Name by The Weeknd Currently Reading: Just finished Quiet by Susan Cain which I think is required reading for all humans. About to embark on some books by black authors for February. Last Movie: Something's Gotta Give. But my TV watching has been more interesting: I'm watching The Wheel of Time with @dorrinverrakai1 / BBC Ghosts is hilarious / Agatha Raisin is exactly the cozy, silly British amateur detective show you want Sweet, Savory or Spicy: Spicy & Savory Currently working on: finishing my Steggy Secret Santa Ted Lasso AU for @theawkwardterrier (it's coming along), then I have a list of wip fic to work on this year, and with the Olympics fast approaching, ice skating Steggy is top of mind... Also working on making some WoT icons for @dorrinverrakai1 Tagging: @sprinkleglitz and anyone else who reads this, tell me what you've been up to in 2022.

I think that’s a wrap on WOT Secret Santa 2022! Thank you to everyone who participated!

[queenofmalkier]

List five of your least-popular fics, as well as when/why you wrote them. (I saw @highladyluck do this and thought, why not?)

Only including my WOT stuff for obvious reasons.

The Purpose of Raptors - wrote this in 2015 when I was having a hyperfixation moment again with the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World series. I connected Dr Wu and Aginor and the rest is history.

WOT Winter Drabble - I asked for prompts in 2018 and got shadowspawn acting like kitty cats.

you care for me I feel it like an axe in my chest - written for the 2022 WOT Secret Santa as a gift for highladyluck.

Two Rivers Winter - a pretty simple drabble from 2015 that I wrote more out of whimsy than anything else?

The Unseeing World - my most ambitious WOT fanfiction that fizzled out because of a computer crash that caused me to lose a lot of unposted fics. I still look at it and give it a little poke because leaving it unfinished makes me sad, but it was a huge undertaking and I just don't know if I can redo so much lost work. (I think I lost maybe 15 fully written chapters, and an outline for up to 40-something.)

If you wanna do it, consider yourself tagged!

List five of your least-popular fics, as well as when/why you wrote them (tagged by @sixth-light)

Midnight Cabaret (WoT/WoT show, Rand/Ishy/Lanfear and/or LTT/Mierin/Elan) - This was for the 2023 WoT Secret Santa. The premise is kinda 'wouldn't it be fucked up if LTT was already haunting Rand just a little, especially in the World of Dreams?' Also: 'you could totally use the World of Dreams to do a musical episode, and I can prove it.'

Concerning the open Secretarial position in the Andoran Ter'angreal R&D Department (WoT, epistolary, Setalle Anan) - Ah, the first installment of the ATRDD universe! This started out as a joke about how I like writing cover letters, and how working with Elayne and the entire Andoran defense budget to make ter'angreal is my dream job. After I posted it I decided I could totally write at least two multi-chapter stories about Elayne and moral hazard. Spoiler alert: it has been 3 years and I have not done this, but I do have elaborate outlines.

Al'Thor by Asha'mouth (WoT, filk about Rand) - 2022 Wot Secret Santa gift, it's literally just filk of Smash Mouth's All Star but I refined the scansion to within a millimeter of its life. This thing is POLISHED. I had the title in my ideas file for years, and when I got a giftee who I knew liked my filk I had the perfect excuse to actually work on it.

Polar Research (WoT, Aviendha/Elayne) - This was a vignette prompt on tumblr around the end of 2022 from @primeideal: Aviendha at the polar research station. I loved having an excuse to write more in the ATRDD universe and show Aviendha using her Talent of identifying ter'angreal. Also I will never ever miss the opportunity to point out that Shai'tan's workshop is at the North Pole.

A Clothes Encounter (WoT/Les Mis musicalverse, Enjolras and Beslan) - Just checked the original publication date for this crossover on FF.net and it was October 2005! It was in response to an offhand livejournal comment about Enjolras/Beslan. It ended up more E/R but it does provide an origin story for musical!Enjolras's distinctive vest.
