A message for all because it's come up more than once: please don't print/bind my fanfiction on your own or by sending it somewhere.
It's not necessary and it makes me very uncomfortable.
For CftF, to do it at home would take at least 9XL ink cartridges and 7.5 reams of paper. Who knows how many inches of binders you'd have to put it into. This could easily cost you well over $350 USD at minimum.
A tree did not spend it's entire life tirelessly producing oxygen to be reduced to my brainrot in paper format.
Worse yet, I would be mortified to find out someone sent it to any place to have it printed.
Mortified.
Please just download it in PDF format and put it on an eReader if you don't want to read in on AO3.
Nobody needs to have a paper copy of it, and I'd be pissed to shit if I found out people were submitting it to any book printing services even if they weren't going to sell copies to each other - but just to do at all.
At first I thought this was a cute idea when someone mentioned it to me last summer, but I'm actually deeply uncomfortable with this.
Please don't. This is the type of stuff that makes me not want to share my writing.

Summary: Twelve years into the future, Enid and Wednesday are married and living in a coastal town near a national forest. Enid found her niche performing a few nights a week at club. Wednesday had hoped to use the new setting as inspiration for her latest novel.
One night, a murder has Wednesday called to bring home her distraught wife who discovered the body in pieces. At the scene, she notices evidence that the investigators missed. Enid pleads with her to leave it to the professionals, but as a writer of a murder-mystery series (that almost breaks even each year in profits), Wednesday thinks that she qualifies as one.
When her visions start to lead more clues, it isn’t long before Enid is roped into cracking the case with her, only if Wednesday will wear their matching fall jackets.
tl;dr Wednesday Addams becomes the Jessica Fletcher of her own life as even in adulthood, she finds herself surrounded by murder, mayhem, and mysteries - but in the future - she always drags her wife along with her to solve them as a codependent detective duo.

Note: Doing my best to keep chapters ~10k or under to not alienate so many people this time (it is genuinely a challenge for me)
This story doesn't involve varying layers of conspiracy and should be more fun for those of you who are more interested in the shipping side of reading fics, less a monumental world-building experience (but you know I will not let these girls fall in love without building real trust between them first 🥰)
Rated: T for now, E(ventually)
From Enid's POV, Home Renovation and Influencer AU summary -
When vlogger @EnidSinFlair moved into a fixer-upper #ForTheViews, she expected to put up chic, boutique wallpaper, get the best night of sleep ever with a mattress brand deal, and hopefully be sponsored by those Velcro, interchangeable rugs. Enid never anticipated needing to learn how to do demolition for mold removal, install stair steps, and especially – deal with the critters that come with owning a house that is more than one hundred years old. Unable to take it, she reaches out to a cryptic ad for pest removal that brings an even more mysterious young woman into her life.
When Wednesday arrives at the house and discovers the mess that Enid has is far beyond the scope of the influencer’s abilities, she decides to offer assistance with her myriad of skills (mostly just so she doesn’t kill herself on camera trying to install a lighting fixture – even if that would be fun for Wednesday to watch, she doubts Enid’s viewers would appreciate such a macabre ending).
An unexpected partnership turns into so much more in an AU, multi-chapter adventure.
You guys are commenting on the fics you read right? You’re at least leaving kudos on the Astarion smut and the pairs that have less than 20 fics for them too? You’re bookmarking stories you really like that are still being updated and ones that haven’t been touched in over a year right?
You know that even the smallest interactions are like cocaine to fic writers right? You understand how important a string of emoji hearts left behind on chapter at three am is right?? Right????
You’re treating AO3 like a community and not a content factory….right?

My labor of love is finally finished.
Final Word count: 1,434,163 (before a big edit haha)
I am damn proud of myself for meeting my goal of starting and finishing an epic-length fic in less than 365 days (while working a full and part time job at that). This story helped me learn a lot about myself while writing it, and from the feedback, it seems like it’s helped other people along the way.
Thank you for all the love and support - look for new Wednesday fics from me sometime in 2024! Follow here for updates!

Experience the fallout of Wednesday’s violence - was it justice or vengeance?
Why is Larissa sacrificing herself for Wednesday, and will she ever be able to look her in the eye again? Is Enid traumatized, motivated, or both - and will Wednesday prove to have the healing touch she desperately needs?
Find out in this ~74k monstrosity of a final chapter of Chaos for the Fly!
Epilogue will be posted 12/30
I’m a simple person, I check Ao3, I see an update and feel effervescent, I read my fruity little tale, yell at the author in the comments, rinse and repeat
You know nothing about the situation, mayeb you should come to gaza and see how they treat lgbtq+ members?
How fucking dare you.
When I say nothing excuses genocide, I mean nothing. I don't give a shit if homophobia is rampant there. Children and so many more are DYING. How can you not grasp that?
Homophobia exists everywhere, but it is not in everyone. Generalizing a whole population for the discrimination of a certain demographic is irresponsible and close minded. Those children that are crying for their dead mothers did not call us slurs. Those premature babies that by now have died because there's nothing to power their incubators didn't do shit to us. Even if they did? NOBODY deserves this.
And what of the victims of that discrimination? Our queer brothers and sisters who feared to love openly now no longer having the chance to love at all?
If you care so much about the state of the queer people in Palestine then why are you leaving them to die as well? Because that's not what you care about. Because that sympathy and solidarity only applies to those you deem human enough, right? The rest is abandoned.
Don't you dare justify your bloodlust by mentioning this community. Say with your whole chest how you really feel. And do that without the veil of anonymity. The Zionist Israeli in my comments and DMs on Instagram at the very least cussed me out to my face. Let everyone know who you are and what you truly stand for. Unless you are ashamed. Because you should be and you better be.
You guys get to have part 2 a lot sooner than intended because I'm a lot more invested in this AU than I realized. And no, Wednesday doesn't notice that that's actually Enid because I love comedic misunderstandings.

Summary
“Wednesday, you are so new to love’s torturous sting. It simply takes time to get used to the poison, my darling. You have to build up a tolerance for it. Then – you’ll start to wonder how you ever lived without it.”
Enid accidentally summons a demon in an attempt to communicate with her wolf, and somehow – that is not Wednesday’s biggest problem upon the return to Nevermore. With a raging suspicion that Principal Weems was not actually murdered, Wednesday starts to unravel her latest mystery while trying not to unravel herself. As emerging powers cause her to manifest physical symptoms, Wednesday has to learn to rely on those around her if she is going to grow as a Raven.
Ultra slow-burn WenClair, moving forward in an organic relationship, building from roommates to best friends to more. Picking up on some plot points from S1, Wednesday develops not only new abilities, but emotions and friendships as she examines her life through her new lens of Nevermore.
If you're new to this fic and unsure about starting due to the length, below the break will give you a spoiler-filled idea about when some of the major plot points/relationships happen.
Author's Note
As I am squeezing in my writing time before vacation, I am reflecting on how proud I am of this fic. This is year 21 of writing fanfiction for me, and of course as we grow, our talents naturally increase, but I have never felt so accomplished about a piece of writing before. If you need some light reading (lmfao this fic will top one million words by the end of summer), I would like to recommend my own story. I don't ever do that and I probably won't do it again - but writing this fic has been such a bright spot in my life, and every opportunity I have to carve out a few thousand words I feel myself transcend.
When I received an old Addams Family book in the mail (here) a few weeks ago, I was flipping through and found the above summary of Wednesday. I have never felt more proud to be borrowing another character, as I feel that I do Charles Addams' Wednesday justice in this writing as we explore her sensitive/poetic side in addition to the harshness of her 2022 adaptation. (Don't worry - Enid will find Wednesday's sixth toe when she finally visits the Addams family home in Chapter 21.)
Chapters 1-5: Wenclair Roommate Friendship developing as Wednesday realized she'd genuinely missed Enid over the summer.
Main focus of early chapters is Wednesday trying to determine how Weems is alive, focusing on her powers starting to develop as physical symptoms and discovering more about how to tap in to her Raven abilities with the help of her mentor, the new administrator, Dr. Zypher.
Dr. Zypher (39) is a herpetologist with a psychic ability to work with reptiles. She has been dating the only other known Raven, Emiliana, for 23 years, since they met via Larissa Weems at Nevermore. These two OCs have a very supportive and important role in the story.
(We needed adults and ALL the important ones were killed off in S1. These OCs have been extremely well-received by the audience and are real people with flaws and strengths, distinct personalities. No Mary-Sues here, I promsie.)
Chapter 6: Enid breaks up with Ajax, Wednesday and Enid get closer than ever when the spirit Enid released attacks again. Wednesday vows to protect her.
As Wednesday has found Weems trapped in her accidental shape-shift, she starts looking for divination-related ways to change her back.
Wednesday starts to have to cope with very uncomfortable feelings that emerge from the ever-darkening of her visions as her powers start to grow massively.
Chapter 8: Wednesday starts to think she's closer to Enid than she ever has been to anyone else before.
Wednesday learns about the importance of being vulnerable and showing some feelings.
Starts to explore ways to protect Weems in her lower life form.
Chapter 10: Wednesday wonders what attraction is supposed to feel like, starts to think there may be something wrong with her. She knows what she is feeling for Enid is more than friendship but isn't experiencing physical attraction.
Wednesday casts a powerful protection spell for Enid.
Enid reveals that she imprinted on Wednesday during her first transformation and this has caused her extreme stress and alienation from her pack.
Chapter 11: Wednesday and Enid confront the spirit again. As it tries to possess Enid, Wednesday's protection spell holds and she confesses that night that she won't let anything happen to her because she loves her. She admits, she isn't sure if that love is romantic. Enid agrees with the sentiment and they decide to give it all more time.
The girls start to work together to help Wednesday divert from the negative energy within her divination as part of her Raven nature to blend their energy together, earning more positive energy for Wednesday shared by Enid.
Enid's mother is determined that Nevermore finds something to do about Enid's imprinting.
Chapter 13: Finally, the girls are dating after the full moon. It's adorable.
Enid talks to her father and requests him to visit Nevermore.
Chapter 14: Things really take off with ways to help Weems transform Halloween - Wednesday temporarily banishes the spirit with Enid's help as they have grown so close.
Chapter 15: Wednesday starts to lose herself to divination a little bit as she becomes more desperate to complete the transformation on Weems. Dr. Zypher's Raven girlfriend arrives.
Chapter 16: Wednesday finally puts the pieces together and knows what she has to do to transform Weems.
Enid's father arrives - she formally leaves her pack and considers Wednesday her main family. The Addams Family have accepted her whole-heartedly.
Chapter 17:-19 Successful transformation of Weems leads to extreme physical consequences for Wednesday.
Lots of Wenclair Hurt/Comfort
Wednesday resolves lots of tension with her family
Chapter 20: Closure of the first semester of events
Wednesday invites herself into the "Nevermore Network" - an ambiguous concept alluded to throughout the story of how the Outcast world is all connected. These adults are increasingly interested in Wednesday's extreme shows of power and she goes behind her family/admin wishes to meet up with them when she returns to school in January.
Chapter 21: Yuletide & New Year - Enid at the Addams Family House
Chapter 22: Start of Second Semester at Nevermore
