Carry On Remix

A remix is another version of someone else’s story - it could be from the POV of a different character, or another genre from the original, or focus on a different set of characters or a different moment. It’s the way you would have chosen to tell that same story. Carry On Remix 2021 is now over. Mods are @captain-aralias and @giishu

(carry on countdown 2021: day eight)

He snags her hand. "Come here, Bunce." "I'm right as rain, Baz." "Don't make me climb over Simon."

Penelope sighs, leaning over the seat, and Baz holds his wand to her mouth. "Kiss it better!" "Basil, that's a family spell!"

"Hush," he says, kissing her cheek. He wipes the blood from her mouth with his sleeve. His arm is shaking. "You okay?" She's tearful. She nods.

what's a remix fic?

I cannot even begin to apologize for how long it has taken me to get around to answering this ask. I kept saying I would get to it later, which turned into nearly two weeks....ahh I'm so sorry. I know it's late but here's the answer to your question, Nonnie!

Basically, a remix is where you take someone else's fic and change something about it and rewrite the story. You could change the pov, the universe, an event, etc. There are a lot of things you could do to make it a different fic but still have the essence of the original. It's a lot of fun, I have really enjoyed being apart of the @carryonremix events!

[carryonremix]

Great explanation 🎉

The event is officially over but anyone who has permission from the book original author can remix whenever they want.

Good Boy (E), 5k

by @snowybank and @mostlymaudlin

“Baz, I bet you could roll a perfect blunt if you tried,” he says, voice dropping as he leans in close to my ear. “Should I teach you?” I swallow. His hand is on my thigh, his breath coming in measured, warm puffs on my cheek. “Yeah,” I rasp, my voice shot. “Teach me.” -- Simon and Baz get back from date night and help each other unwind.

for @carryon-countdown day 4, “date night.” well... loosely.

basically, after lauren did a fantastic but M rated remix of my T rated stoner au where they don't even kiss, we were like.... but don't they deserve to bang??? our beloved stoner boys?? so we did this :D

Read it on AO3.

[carryonremix]

This isn’t a remix, but i think it deserves a reblog anyway.

[mostlymaudlin]

signs [the “caught in your web” remix]

rated T, 2.7k

Eight minutes left until class is over. Eight minutes until Snow has to turn in his mostly unfinished work. I’m considering telling him directly to just copy my page — weighing what words I could use to make it seem like an insult, but not too much of an insult that he won’t do it. I’m so up in my head imagining potential scenarios that Snow is able to sneak up on me.

I don’t know what he’s doing. All I know is that he’s leaning in close to me, the scent of him overwhelming me, and his fingers are resting on the base of my skull.

a remix of one of my FAVORITE fics — “spider” by @snowybank — for @carryonremix madness :) thank you to lauren for bringing so much good Content into the snowbaz world. where would we be without you tbh?? and to fest mods, for doing fest!

Read it in AO3.

[you-remind-me-of-the-babe]

I tried my hand at a remix of @mostlymaudlin’s AMAZING fic Dare from Baz’s POV!

Thank you to the @carryonremix mods for adding the Madness round and organizing everything!

Truth (The Dare Remix)

Rating: T, Words: 4.6 K

Summary:

Gareth rounds everyone up for a game of Truth or Dare. When Simon is dared to snog Baz, everything about their rivalry becomes much more complicated.

When the game is over, will Baz be able to tell Simon the truth about his feelings?

Read it on AO3!

[nevergonnacallmedarling]

everything one could dream (the belt buckle remix)

Rating: T

Word count: 7.8k

Summary:

“I - well, he asked me if I wanted to go with him to Trixie’s party. And I told him I couldn’t, because… I was already going with someone else. With my boyfriend, to be exact.”

“You what?” she yelps again. “What boyfriend, Simon?”

“I - I don’t know!” I yelp back. “I panicked, okay? I told him no, and he kept insisting, and that was the only thing that occurred to me."

"That’s bad, Simon. Very bad,” she says, as if I didn’t know that already. “What are you gonna do now?"

"Now I need a fake boyfriend,” I complain.

Simon needs a fake boyfriend. Baz owes him a favor. Penny puts two and two together.

Normal AU. Simon and Baz used to live next door to each other, but they haven’t seen each other for years. An estate agent’s sign outside Simon’s house and a rare sighting of the man himself prompts Baz to act.

Carry On Remix Madness 2021 has opened!

I can’t tell whether other works will be added later today, so I’ll hold off on a masterlist till tomorrow, but right now there are 7 new works based on earlier fics or fanart in the collection. Check them out!

If you posted something to the collection before today, remember to update the posting date to the 28th. 

Thanks!

[carryonremix]

I feel like tumblr app could do a better job telling me if I’m posting from a side blog or what. ( I know, I know - tumblr could do a lot of things better).

Also starting to think it wasn’t a brilliant idea to put a fest in the middle of carry on countdown - but we have 5 fics in the remix collection already! 🎉🎉 check back tomorrow when they’ll be revealed.

It’s another wonderful WIP Wednesday!

I’m trying my hand at a remix for the madness round, which is on Sunday. Remixing is hard, y’all! 😬 I’m even more impressed with everyone’s remixes after having tried one myself! 😅 This is, like, the only snippet I could find that doesn’t immediately give away which fic this is! So here you go:

Baz

“It’s daft, innit?” he says.

“Hmm?” I mumble, trying to fight off sleep. “What is?”

“That we spent so much time fighting, when we could have been doing this.” He squeezes my waist, and lays a kiss on top of my head.

“Well, we’ll just have to make up for lost time then, won’t we?” I turn my head and look up at him. He puts a hand under my chin, and kisses me sweetly. I yawn into his mouth, foolishly not pulling away in time.

He laughs at me again, snuggling me into a better position and pulling the covers up to my shoulders. “We’ll get to all that, eventually. For now, let’s get some sleep.”

Simon’s whole body is pressed into me, his leg draped over mine and his arms wrapped around me. As much as I want to savor this moment, his body heat is keeping me so warm, and he’s so soft and comfy that I don’t think I’ll be able to stay awake much longer. I burrow my head into his neck.

“Goodnight, Simon,” I say, my voice muffled in his skin.

He kisses my head once more. “Goodnight, Baz.”
