Christmas Fics

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you're all having a lovely day and a fantastic new year. Here are all the festive fics I've written in case you want some holiday reading material!

DC

you really left me on the line, kid (8k) — returning to Wayne Manor for his first Christmas as the Red Hood isn't easy for Jason, but it isn't a complete shitshow, either.

Marvel

the ripples they cause (111k) — post no way home, Peter fights his way to a better life... with the help of every superhero in the city (and a bit of necromancy).

not at home for christmas (1k) — Phil and Clint end up in a safehouse for Christmas, but they make it work.

numb fingers but warmer hearts (6k) — Clint and Kate go for a nice winter walk... but Lucky is, as always, not so lucky when he runs out on a frozen lake.

rewrite the stars (1k) — Peter gets kidnapped on New Year's Eve, and Wade comes to rescue him.

Grishaverse

Fairytale of Ketterdam (2k) — Kaz fights his way out of a kidnapping to stop Geels from blowing up The Wraith on the eve of Feast of Sankt Nikolai.

we'll be okay (set sail for home) — christmas kanej hurt/comfort 🤭

Doctor Who

hot chocolate, candy canes, and a kiss in the snow (1k) — Yaz can give up the universe, but not the Doctor.

Yaz's Guide to Christmas Cookies and Alien Invasions (9k) — A strange woman stumbles into Yaz's cafe around Christmas... this might not be the kind of holiday she expected.

Supernatural

Wrapped in Red (7k) — Dean and Cas have to infiltrate a couple's only holiday party... fake dating ensues!

Darling, So It Goes (4k)— Dean dresses up as Santa for Jody and Donna's Christmas party. It somehow ends with him dumping a litre of chocolate milk over a homophobe's head.

Superbat Fic Recs

I'm back with some more fic recs that I've been meaning to post for forever! Here's some of my favourite Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne fics 🫡

Cowled Affections by anonyomoose (1.2k)

Clark’s attempts to keep his relationship with Bruce under wraps lead to a series of well-intentioned but very misguided matchmaking efforts from the Justice League. Batman is very unhappy about it.

I'll be your morning bright good night shadow machine by BetweenWaves (3k)

Clark could suddenly feel the heat of the fever radiating from beyond the door and he mentally kicked himself from not gathering the obvious sooner.

Bruce was sick.

Bruce Fucking with the JLA by littlegh0st (5.4k)

Bruce finds endless amusement in using his public Brucie Wayne persona to mess with JLA.

Or, Bruce and Clark's developing relationship as seen through snapshots of Bruce being a little shit.

A Match Into Water by Arwriter (5.8k)

He could hold out for a few minutes. Just a few more minutes. The team would track them down and Flash would be there in seconds to pull Batman out of the water and get Superman out of his chains. 

Any minute now.

integral by TheResurrectionist (7.8k)

The Justice League is cursed to stay awake, or fall into a coma. For the Batfamily, extreme sleep deprivation is really just another Tuesday.

Banana Muffin by Mawiiish (8.8k)

Bruce is poisoned at yet another gala and he calls for the only person he can trust enough to get him to safety, secret identities be damned. So why is he being taken away by some stranger and where is Superman?

Oblivious by mosslingg (10k)

Bruce knows Clark is Superman. Clark has no idea Bruce is Batman. A bet happens and shenanigans ensue.

Watch(tower) Out! by Arkangelo (10k)

Bruce Wayne, the Justice League’s primary funder, pays a customary visit to the Watchtower. It goes about as well as expected.

Everything Can Stay The Same (Or We Could Change It All) by A1batross (11k)

Oh my god, Jason slowly realizes, it’s Dick Grayson.

“Oh my god,” the man with the gun whispers, “It’s the Red Hood.”

AKA a very serious (no it isn't) about finding home. It involves a chance meeting, a cat, an explosion or two, and family.

there ain't no star that shines by amosanguis (11k)

“I'm not the same person I was back in high school,” Clark says, “and I doubt they all are, either. What would be the point?”

“Oh, Clark,” Bruce is suddenly holding Clark's face with both of his hands, “the point is that I'm going to land us in a helicopter somewhere for all your classmates to see.”

Clark sighs and closes his eyes.

“Say 'yes', Clark,” Bruce orders.

Clark doesn't open his eyes, just says, “Yes, Clark.”

How to Date the Batman by solomonara (11k)

Someone spots the Batman kissing Mild Mannered Reporter Clark Kent. Hijinks ensue.

Safe And Sound by watchingthestars13 (12k)

Five times Bruce's kids called him dad and once he said it himself.

What it Means to be Family by kazeohiku (14k)

When Jason somehow runs into Bruce Wayne at his local Walmart (and literally runs into Clark Kent) he gets way, way more than he bargained for.

play me 'til your fingers bleed by rhythm_and_sound (16k)

Bruce Wayne is hit with a truth spell. Clark Kent learns more about this untouchable billionaire than he ever imagined.

Half in Love by timeturners (21k)

Clark rejects Bruce Wayne because he’s in love with Batman. Batman rejects Superman because he’s in love with Clark Kent.

So when Superman happens to run into Bruce Wayne, they both have feelings that they need to get over. It’s a reasonable enough solution to their problems, right?

What could go wrong?

A Sense of Identity by DaaroMoltor (21k)

It was a Thursday afternoon at the end of March, and Bruce Wayne met Clark Kent in the way enterprising billionaires tended to meet investigative reporters: Through an interview. Kent had posture like cooked spaghetti and wore his plaid like the strangest camouflage in history.

Bruce was less than impressed.

You're gonna know my name by Dino_Cattivo (22k)

Bruce just wanted to get the interview over with and relax, but sadly the universe had other plans, and he found himself stranded together with Clark Kent and has to wait to be rescued to keep his secret identity. Which would have been a lot easier if Kent hadn't investigated things Bruce would rather have kept hidden.

2024 AO3 Wrapped!

At the end of the year, I always like to look back on everything I've written and I'm so proud of the three fics and 116,000 words I wrote this year!

All of my fics were for Marvel this year and I can't thank each and every one of you enough for making this such a welcoming and lovely community <33

Keep reading if you haven't caught up on my three fics yet! 💜

what it means to be a person (62k) (irondad)

Nearly a year after the spell that erased Peter Parker, he finds himself chained to his old mentor. Literally.

Tony Stark has been running from his memories of Thanos for two years, burying himself in work and spending time with the family he nearly lost. But when a cunning new villain kidnaps Spider-Man to get to him, they’ll have to work together to escape with their lives.

But Spider-Man is just a kid. A kid who seems to have the answers to every hole in Tony’s memory. And he’ll do anything to protect the one person who might finally let him rest.

worth a thousand words (3k) (peter & acadec team)

After Betty notices an odd man lingering in the background of all her photos, the Academic Decathlon team sets out on a quest to find the mysterious Stranger.

It's a shame none of them can ever remember meeting him.

runaways running the night (47k) (spideypool)

Wade Wilson's entire world is nine people — who live in a dying timeline only one man can save.

Peter Parker's entire world is Spider-Man. When Deadpool drags him out of his pity party to embark on a dangerous quest, he only wants to go home to his shitty, damp-ridden apartment and day job working at the Daily Bugle.

But it isn't just Wade's world at risk. The entire multiverse is about to die, and there's only two people brave (and crazy) enough to save it.

If they can stop bickering long enough to survive.

(AKA a spideypool deadpool & wolverine rewrite)

[artemisdesari-blog]

A writer friend told me something that broke my heart a little bit today; they're going to quit publishing their fanfic.

My instant thought was that they had been trolled or attacked or that something terrible had happened in their life because this person is so passionate about their writing. It wasn't any of that. Engagement with their works has been going down, as it has for many of us. Comments are like gold dust a lot of the time, and just looking through the historical comment counts on old fics on ao3 demonstrates this trend very clearly. It was not simply the comments dropping off which caused them to decide to stop posting, however.

My friend came across a discord server for their fandom (I should point out here that their fandom interest and mine diverged a couple of years ago, we stay in touch but don't currently read each other's posts because I'm not into their fandom and they would rather gouge their eyes out with a wooden spoon than read anything Star Wars) and specifically to share fic in that fandom. They joined, because we all love a good fic rec, only to discover that their latest multichapter fic, which has almost no comments and very few kudos, is being hotly discussed in this server as one of the best stories ever. Not one of these people has bothered to say this to them on the fic. When they asked, none of participants could see the point in telling the author of the fic they apparently loved so much that they love it.

This discovery has absolutely destroyed my friend's love of sharing fic. They share because they love seeing other people's enjoyment, and fic writers do that through comments and kudos/reblogs/likes because we don't get paid. There is no literary critic writing a blog post/article about how amazing the story is for us to copy and keep/frame. There is no money from royalties. All we have are the words of the people reading our works.

Those people on that server could have taken five minutes of the time they spent gushing about how amazing my friend's story was to other people and used it to tell the one person guaranteed to want to hear that praise how much they loved it. They could have taken a moment to express their opinion to the person who spent hours upon hours plotting, writing, editing, and posting those chapters. Instead, they deprived my friend of thing that keeps them sharing their writing, and in the process have killed their love of it. My friend now feels used and unmotivated.

I won't be sharing a link to their fic, they said I could share their experience but not their identity. I know they plan to post one final chapter. I know they intend to express their hurt at being excluded from the praise for the thing they created, and I know they intend to announce that as a consequence they will not be posting for a long while, if at all.

So please, I beg you, don't hide your love of a story from the writer. It's just about the only thing we have.

[youllnevertaketheskyfromme]

If anyone has thoughts about "entitlement," fanfic authors are a part of the fandom too.

Picture yourself in highschool (I know, hear me out) you've hand written a story and give the copy to your friends to read. They read it silently and hand it back with no feedback (comments), not even a smile (kudos).

Then you overhear them talking about it at lunch excitedly and animatedly. When you try to join the conversation they look at you confused. Why do you need to be a part of the conversation? You already wrote the story.

You might be relieved that they actually liked the story after all, but hurt that they never thought to tell you. You might be even more hurt to hear that they purposely choose to talk when you weren't there, because they didn't want you there.

The issue is not people talking about the story other places. (There are some fanfics I gush about irl) It's about excluding authors who are sharing their works because they want to share them with you.

The comments section of AO3 or incoherent tags on Tumblr are the only guaranteed way to include the author. So, leave comments.

Most authors understand if you are anxious or unsure what to say. A key smash or a <3 go a long way. Comment on fics you read over and over again. (I love getting comments like "extra kudos" or "reading this again!")

Fanfic authors are part of the fandom too. Make sure they can feel it.

sapphicnatural fics - the modern classics

for day 7 of sapphicnatural week: free space.

i wanted to celebrate some of the fics which have meant the most to us in the sapphicnatural community over the past few years! they have pioneered rarepairs, resonated among the masses, and often provided longer fics where there aren't many. we would be lesser without them, and i'm so grateful for all these modern classics. i also included some art from monumental sapphicnatural artists, who have brought the ships to life with such visual beauty. sapphicnatural week 2024 has been so wonderful and i'm so honoured to be a part of this community !!

welcome everybody

I am Muhammad Imad Abdel Latif Sharab

First, after an aggressive war on Gaza City and its revival, we were displaced from our 3-storey house in which I and my family of 3 members live.

My father's family consists of 8 members

My grandfather, may God have mercy on him, was martyred by occupation aircraft on 12/14/2023.

The one who was martyred while he was leaving the house to check on our house next to him, which could not be reached due to a brutal enemy who does not differentiate between anyone in death, went out to check on our house, which we were not in because of my displacement to Rafah, me, my father, and our families due to the intensity of the fighting in Khan Yunis, and after that A few days ago, our store in which my father and brothers work was bombed by occupation aircraft. He was working to gather his strength from it and meet the needs of our house, which no longer exists due to the bombing. We ask you to help and contribute, even if just a little, by donating to us so that we can compensate for a little of what we lost.

Many thanks to you 😢

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

If you do not understand the words well, because I am not very good at English, but I ask you to help me with money so that I can compensate for even a little of what I lost, and I am very grateful to you, my dears😢🥺😢🥺😢🥺🥺😢

I am so, so sorry for your loss!!

Please donate here to help them out <33

Hi there 👋,

My name is Mohammad, a father of three young children living in Gaza. We are facing unimaginable hardships due to the ongoing catastrophic war, and our home is no longer safe. I’ve started a fundraising to raise $40,000 to move my family to a safer place where my children can have a chance at a better future. 💔🍉

If you could spare a moment to read our story and consider donating or even sharing, it would mean the world to us. Every bit of support brings us closer to safety and hope. 🙏

Thank you for your kindness and compassion. ❤

August 21st is Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day  💕

Let’s be honest - we all forget to leave a comment sometimes. We don’t always go out of our way to click the “come talk to me on tumblr” link on AO3 to scream about the fic in the author’s inbox. On August 21st I encourage you to take a moment and show fanfic writers that you appreciate them!

How can you do it?

leave a comment and kudos on every fic you finish reading. Doesn’t matter how short. Doesn’t matter if you’re just repeating what other people have already said. Just be kind! Keysmashing, Caps Lock, and live commenting appreciated! (Bonus points if you leave a comment on every chapter)

ideas for what to put in a comment: one | two | three | four

floaty review box for ao3 (super useful for commenting as you read + it has a ‘review tips’ button if you feel stuck)

reblog ficlets, drabbles, fics, fic rec posts, etc. Put a nice comment in the tags. Remember that likes, while appreciated, don’t give the writer any exposure, meaning the posts don’t reach more people

go to your local fanfic writer’s inbox and talk to them about their fic of your choice. Let them know how long ago you’ve read it and what story point/sentence/scene still makes you smile when you think about it

send thank you messages to fic writers. In a world where you have to pay for almost everything, they’re supplying you with countless hours of free entertainment. It can get quite lonely without getting messages acknowledging the hours they spend writing stories - let them know their time and effort is appreciated

make fic rec posts and @ the authors whose fics you’re recommending! (believe me, fic writers love to see their stories in these posts)

create something inspired by a fic! You can draw fanart, make a moodboard or aesthetic post, or even write a song for the fic you love. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro doesn’t matter - the thought alone is what counts more than anything <3

buy the writer a coffee if they have a ko-fi page and you have some change lying around c: Caffeine keeps most fic writers awake when they struggle with a particularly slow draft or a difficult scene. More coffee, more words.

These are only some ideas out of the sea of possible ways to appreciate fanfic writers. On August 21st show the writers in your fandom(s) some love <3

🇵🇸 ‼️Hello, please share widely, Mohamed and family and children, my sister Amir Malak has been going through a particularly scary time recently even by the horrific standards of the past few months. I hope she is well. My name is Mohamed Atallah. I urgently need surgery on my left hand and to rebuild my home and my older sister Eman's home. I live with my parents, six sisters, a little girl called Malak and a little boy called Amir in northern Gaza. I have created this link to fund a bone graft on my left hand which was hit by an explosive bullet, to rebuild our destroyed home and to evacuate my family from Gaza to a safe place. And donate any amount for a safe life.. I would appreciate your help ❤️ Can you help in whatever way you can? Click all the buttons on my wall, I beg you to visit my page, view it and donate via the link in my bio 💔 Donate and share widely 🆘🆘 Every euro makes a difference 🙏 I urge you to donate. Even the smallest amount can make a huge difference. Not only does he need to be evacuated with his family, but he is in dire need of surgery! The IDF shot him in the arm with an explosive bullet. That’s not normal. It’s explosive. So he needs treatment right away! Otherwise, he’ll get an infection and possibly an amputation. We don’t want that to happen, do we? So contribute! Be sure to retweet and share his story if you can’t. Help my family. War is devastating. There’s nothing left to live for. No schools, no universities, no home, no dreams. All dreams are shattered. I hope you can help before it’s too late. @90-ghost reviewed Mohammed's identity documents and corresponded with him as well. So, in short: This is a brand new fundraiser that I can vouch for. Please share and contribute if you can. Feel free to repost on other platforms as well.🍉

here's the link to their gofundme!! I'm sending you love and hope we can help you to reach your goal quickly <3

[fanfic-corner]

Hi 🌟,

I hope you’re doing well. We’ve raised very little so far to support me and my family during these challenging times due to the conflict in Gaza. We’re still working to reach our goal and would greatly appreciate your help. 🙏

If you can’t donate, could you please share or reblog my pinned post? Your support in spreading the word would mean a lot to us. 💪

Hello my dears! I, Asmaa, ask you to support my campaign to help me reach my goal. 🙏 I am now in desperate need of your support to help me stay alive and safe. Gaza is a very dangerous place, both in terms of living standards and souls. I need your financial support so that I can get the basic needs of my family. Please help a family survive through your small donations or through your shares to others. And reblog. The campaign is going very slowly. 🙏🍉💔https://www.gofundme.com/f/8wewmz-help-asmaa-to-continue-school-outside-of-gaza This donation drive was vetted by: @90-ghost
