Gonna do this the best I can but I am travelling rn and tired af, but I still wanna celebrate!!
Last year in my roundup post I said I would not do this again (try to complete, that is). Naturally I completely forgot about that and got excited again in the prompt voting stage and dived right in. And here we stand on the other side of another twenty eight whole fics!!! Over sixty thousand words written in January and February?!
Oh, and of course I made the typo of 'believening' and started a fire which got out of my control...
Most importantly, MAHOOSIVE FUCKING THANK YOU to the commenters because I really felt the hype this month!!! You guys have really motivated me to keep working on slipknot stuff.. I swear I meant to last year lol, but this time fr😅 It was so exciting seeing your comments on all the fics I shared, idk if I would have made it over the finish line without that spurring me on🥰 You guys are the best!!
Shoutout to @growing-up-creepie for the support and also gifting me my first gift fic🥺😭it was amazing!!!!!!
TLDR I'M REALLY FUCKING HAPPY AND PROUD AND WE DID THIS SHIT TOGETHER ILY ALL
I'm gonna sum up my slipknot fic recs from this month under the cut!
This month I have:
Killed a man; torn open an old wound; killed another man (in a meth lab explosion) (and sent him to haunt someone); broken Joey’s nose; run into battle; inflicted equal portions physical and emotional pain; given Joey the flu; starved someone; knocked Joey out; brought someone back to life; broken Joey’s fingers; put a gun to Joey’s head; beaten the hell out of him; constructed a Hanahaki love triangle of doom; unethically operated on Joey; given Joey ptsd; shoved fingers in Joey’s wounds (he didn’t mind that one so much tho); made Corey paranoid; covered Joey in blood; sicked a vampire on someone; had a flashback at the worst possible time; grieved; healed (or tried to); smashed Paul’s head in; frozen Sid; kidnapped Joey (in front of Shawn); stuck Joey between a rock and a hard place; and finally let it all out
Whew! I'm quite proud of some of the Slipknot stuff I wrote so here's the rundown:
There were gang aus aplenty:
Shawn and Craig find Joey beaten up in a hotel room :c
Mick rescues Joey from a mugger
Straight up torture fic
Paul, Joey, Shawn and Jim survive an explosion... just
Shawn's forced to watch Joey get kidnapped live on camera
Joey's trying to avoid Shawn and Corey, but they have to bail him out of a situation
High School aus:
Suicide attempt fic which I was actually super nervous to share but you guys were so lovely in the comments and made me feel better immediately
In the aftermath of the suicide attempt, Paul draws cute pictures on Joey's scars😭
Some fluffy comfort with Paul & Joey when Joey is sick with flu
Paul being Joey's hypervigilant best friend
And the rest!
The toasterverse got an update!! (Urban magical mystery au)
The amazing @eproxystranger was kind enough to let me write a little labknot hurt/comfort
Joey and touch aversion after being gang raped
Joey's fucked up on drugs and Corey fingers his wound...
Corey gets trapped in a time loop on tour... or does he? Either way, he's spiralling big time. (I think I might be proudest of this one!! It was a daunting fic to undertake but I was so happy with how it turned out)
Joey talked Paul and Shawn into summoning a demon at a haunted house, and it haunts the shit out of them
Sid is getting hypothermic but Joey's a vampire and can't warm him up
And the whole series is here!!
Lmk if you have a fave one! Also, febuwhump commentfest is next weekend🥳🥳come join the party!!
I'm done (formatting this on mobile has done me in anyway lmfao) so it only remains to say: YAYYYY!!! YIPPEEEE!!! ILY GUYSSSS💕💕💕
plastic bag Joey over those paint samples you get at the store (thanks for that, Lowe's) - The drawing would have been a little more detailed if I could have done it on the samples but that wasn’t possible so plastic bag it was
I know that I had somewhat unusually comprehensive sex ed but it still surprises me every time I'm reminded that some people genuinely think that losing your virginity is a capri sun kind of situation.
