ConnorKyle Week will take place from August 25th – 31st as a celebration of fanworks centered around the romantic relationship between Kyle Rayner and Connor Hawke. Participants can create as many or as few fanworks as they like based on the prompts provided, then post them on the associated day; for example, a fanwork themed after road trips or space travel would be posted on August 28th. Anyone is welcome to participate!
All kinds of fanworks are encouraged – fanfiction, fanart, playlists, GIFs, graphics, video edits, etc. Any fanworks tagged #connorkyleweek2025 or #connorkyleweek from Monday August 25th to Sunday August 31st will be reblogged here at @connorkyleweek. Follow us if you'd like to stay updated on the event and see ConnorKyle fanworks as they're released!
Additional questions can be found below the readmore.
What's a twin week?
Our sister event will be running concurrently with ConnorKyle Week to celebrate DonnaKory's victory in the @wlwdcchampionship. Details regarding our sister event can be found at @donnakoryweek.
How do I participate in ConnorKyle Week?
Simply create fanworks based on the week's prompts, post your finished creations to Tumblr during the week of August 25th – 31st, and tag it #connorkyleweek2025 or #connorkyleweek. In the case of fanfics or playlists, you're welcome to host your fanwork on a different site (Ao3, Spotify, etc) and post a link to the fanwork on Tumblr instead. Make sure to tag these with #connorkyleweek2025 or #connorkyleweek as well so we don't miss them! If we do happen to miss your work, feel free to let us know via ask or DM so we can get it reblogged for you.
Ensure any graphic content is appropriately tagged. Explicit sexual content is not expressly disallowed, we simply ask that you treat Connor Hawke's asexual identity with care and respect.
Feel free to create for as many or as few days as you'd like, and to interpret the prompts however you wish. For any given day you can choose one of the two prompts provided, or take inspiration from both.
Are side ships allowed?
Yes, provided the focus is on Connor Hawke and Kyle Rayner's relationship.
What if I'm late to post my fanwork?
Don't stress too much about strict deadlines! We'll continue to check the tags periodically until September 14th, so simply tag your post with #connorkyleweek2025 or #connorkyleweek as normal and we'll reblog it when we see it. If we miss your work, shoot us an ask or DM and we'll get it reblogged for you.
What can't I do?
Depictions of incest (both biological and by law) and sexual/romantic interactions between adults and minors are prohibited. The use of generative AI is also not allowed; all entries should be your own creative work. Unsolicited criticism, hate, or bullying directed towards creators will result in exclusion from the event and a hard block.
What if I have other questions?
Shoot us an ask or a DM and we'll do our best to answer them for you!

Summary:
(Mom’s blowing up my phone so I gotta go home).
No one can get under Connor’s skin as easily as his mother. No one could have ever loved him more.
… A fifth fic has hit the towers.
The title of this fic is borrowed from the song “Empty” by Kevin Abstract.
The alternate titles of this fic are:
A)Connor doesn’t understand he’s allowed to have complex feelings towards Moonday and still love her.
B) Kyle Rayner will literally blow himself up if he can’t cheer up his boyfriend.
I adore Sandra. The sprinkles of her original characterization and relationship with Connor are so fascinatingly haunting. I wish the complexity of their dynamic (and the way Oliver plays into it) was acknowledged more often. Alas, twas not meant to be.
This is for the legacy prompt… Technically. I’m genuinely, deeply sorry for spamming this week so much. They just compel me too much.
...but only officially! If you're midway through a piece of art or writing, or you're still feeling inspired by some of the prompts, we'll be reblogging any posts tagged #connorkyleweek2025 or #connorkyleweek throughout the month of September!
All the wonderful artwork submitted so far can be found under the #art tag on this blog, while all the amazing fanfiction can be found tagged #fic on this blog or as part of the Ao3 collection here. Thank you to everyone who participated, and we hope you've had as much fun this past week as we have!
[ID: fanart of Kyle Rayner and Connor Hawke from DC comics in their hero costumes. Kyle is faced to the viewer and doesn't wear his mask. His eyebrows are furrowed in sadness as he's holding onto wounded Connor with one arm underneath Connor's arms and the other supporting his head. Only Connor's back is visible, there's a big stain of pink blood on his back and Kyle's hands. The background is light green. End ID]

Summary:
After a shot to the chest from an alien energy weapon, Kyle finds himself spilling his guts to anyone who will listen. To his horror, what should have been an embarrassing inconvenience nearly drives away his closest friend for good.
Or: Connor Hawke’s dysfunctional upbringing has consequences. Who knew?
Connor frowns and sits on the edge of the bed. With his free hand he reaches out and puts his palm on Kyle’s forehead.
“Are you feeling okay?” he asks. “You’re not sick, right?”
“No, no, I’m feeling fine. I’m just… confused. Where am I?"
Connor stares at him like he’s grown a second head. “You’re in our bed,” he says as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world. “Did you hit your head yesterday on patrol or something?"
