seerofbreadI haven't really been cross-posting here because uhh.... I haven't exactly found communities here as I've found new fandoms. I'm just gonna dump everything I've posted in the past year or two here so that y'all can like.... know that, I guess, but I don't have to make a new post every time. (Also I hear Pillowfort doesn't queue posts yet and I don't want to spam there either, this way I can copy/paste stuff lol.)
Bloom & Wilt (920 words)
Rating & Warnings: Mature; Graphic Violence, Major Character Death
Ships & Characters: Felix, technically Palomo is there too
Additional Tags: RvB Angst War, Amnesia, Angst and Tragedy, Episode: s13e19 The End is Near
Summary: He thinks they're daffodils, but he's never been big on flowers. He's not completely sure his name is Gates, either.
Other Notes: For the RVB angst war, prompt: "Felix isn’t dead... for a reason. Go batshit crazy w/ this one." It's uhh, not the most faithful interpretation of that prompt, I don't thin.... (I have intentions of turning the "Felix survives with amnesia" concept into something longer, but it wasn't gonna be feasible within a week in my last semester at college.)
Remembered If Outlived (miniseries, about 16K words total)
Rating & Warnings: Mature; Graphic Violence, Major Character Death
Ships & Characters: Ohio/Sherry, Wash & Carolina, Iowa, Idaho, Terrill, Derryl
Additional Tags:
Summary: Wash and Carolina go looking for missing Freelancers. They find three signals on a remote, icy planet, and a mystery that's simpler than it seems. / Sherry doesn't go looking for Freelancers, but she sure gets them. The only mystery is how they're going to survive.
Other Notes: For the RVB angst war, prompt: "The Triplets are the ones that Wash and Carolina go to check on instead of Illinois in Season 15. They're horrified by what they find." It was uhh.... originally it was just going to be "The Letting Go" but I needed to know like.... how the guys died? And somehow the outline turned into an epistolary thing longer than the body of the prose. There's also a "sequel" which is on Tumblr because hey, if I'm gonna dick around with epistolary medium bullshit then I'm gonna go whole-hog and experiment with the bulletfic format. (That'll get dropped on Pillowfort within the week.) Also I didn't mean for this to sort of end the same as Bloom&Wilt but uhh. Write What You Know, I guess.

Rating & Warnings: Teen & Up; Chose Not To Warn
Ships & Characters: Carolina/Wash, past Carolina/Maine/Wash, Dr. Grey, AI OC
Additional Tags: Hospitals, Post-Season/Series 15, Angst, Psychological Trauma, Artificial Intelligence, Grief/Mourning
Excerpt: It was a scream the last time and now it may as well be a whisper, a handshake where Epsilon was a tackle to the ground, but Wash remembers that pressure, the pain, the memories, and he opens his mouth as he remembers--
Oh. Oh dear. I’m so sorry.
Other Notes: So usually I wouldn't go into this but I've been sitting on it long enough and I just like DreamWidthand nobody's going to read this anyway.
The fic's about communication issues in a relationship, which are brought to a head by Wash physically being unable to speak and Grey trying to fix that with an AI. So the uhh, the title of it is "unspoken," converted into Morse code as a nod to Wash's frustrations with being unable to get words to people (and ostensibly something about his military workarounds) and then turned into binary (dots -> 0 and dashes -> 1, and just, fuck the spaces, yeet those bad boys) because uhh computer AI bullshit. This is, without a doubt, the worst and most pretentious title possible, and absolutely terrible for marketing, but I did it anyway because I realized I would never be able to justify so much bullshit in a title ever again.
Anyway I loved writing it and it's another fic I lowkey want to revisit. (I had an idea in the middle of s16 but uhh. That didn't happen, and as much as I support ppl who do retcons like that.... I don't like being the one to write things that contradict canon.)

Rating & Warnings: General Audiences, No Archive Warnings Apply
Ships & Characters: Ohio/Sherry
Additional Tags: Soulmate-Identifying Marks, RvB Rare Pair Week, Quadruple Drabble, Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Implied/Referenced Sexual Assault, Bittersweet
Summary: Everyone is born with a black mark where their soulmate first touches them, and it changes to a color when it happens. Sherry has built an identity around hers. Ohio is afraid of what hers means. At least they won't die here...
Other Notes: This is the last SFW fic I've ever posted, and it'l 400 words. RIP my innocence.
Rumor Mill (3476 words)
Rating & Warnings: Explicit; Chose Not To Warn (mildly dubious consent)
Ships & Characters: cis!Felix/trans!Tucker
Additional Tags: Trans Tucker, Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot, Semi-Public Sex, Post-Season/Series 11, RvB Rare Pair Week, Penis In Vagina Sex, Oral Sex, Bathroom Sex, Condoms, Transgender Issues
Summary: Tucker comes out to Felix, gets fucked by Felix, and takes a shower. In an ideal world, it would probably happen in that order.
Other Notes: IDK I like to think I did pretty good on this. I think once someone went "oh you're the one who wrote that??" and I was very embarrassed but also pleased.

Excerpt: “Come on, Sam, when’s the last time you got off? I hear you can’t even find good porn in Armonia, ‘cause the Feds are just massive prudes. That’s what the revolution’s all about, isn’t it? You’d think so, hearing the teenagers trying to talk politics.”
“And I don’t have the same needs as a teenager.”
“But you haven’t hung up on me yet,” Felix teased.
Other Notes: The decision to give Locus they/them pronouns was pretty last-minute actually. It was for trans week and I went "why does this deserve to be the trans week fic when Rumor Mill was already actually about a trans experience?" and the answer was "double trans."
(There's technically one more fic in this category to date.... but this blog may yet be seen )

Summary: The Hater Empire dissolves when Lord Hater gets married. Commander Peepers is left to re-organize the Watchdog Army. Gift for http://leelasmall.tumblr.com/
Other Notes: This was my first SaveWOY exchange, April 2016.... I had the prompt written down beforehand, something like "there's no way Peepers would have a redemption arc except to follow Hater.... doing something else would be a great little writing challenge, huh?" I'm not sure how well the recipient liked it, but it might be my favorite work I've made for WOY to date.
