Thank you to all the amazing folks who joined our Summer 2020 Fic Exchange!!! ☀️ 

Under the cut is a masterlist of all submitted works, compiled and arranged by the incredible @macperalta in alphabetical order (by title)​. If you don’t see your fic here or notice any errors, please let us know!

Moving forward, we are planning on making a few changes to our guidelines in order to make future fic exchanges more fair and fun for everyone. Mainly, we are thinking of the following: 

Shortening the writing period from 6 weeks to 3 weeks, so we can eliminate the (let’s be honest) procrastination period altogether and get straight to actual writing. We’re hoping that this change will help folks have a clearer, more realistic gauge of how busy they’ll be and minimize unforeseen interruptions. 

Reinstating a minimum length requirement (possibly 1k words) to make sure that nobody is getting jipped. We recognize that writing longer fics is easier for some more than others, but we think it’s reasonable to expect a certain amount of thought and effort in an event like a fic exchange.

Specifying that submitted prompts should include at least one that can be interpreted as canon compliant/divergent (i.e. not a complete AU). We know that developing and writing Alternate Universe fics isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, so hopefully this change will give everyone greater ease and more options to work with.

If you have any other suggestions for things we can do differently in order to improve our events, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us! Our Ask box is always open, and you can also directly message @startofamoment or @amydancepants-peralta.

back when i was livin' for the hope of it all

When a case takes them to Coney Island early in their partnership, Jake manages to convince Amy to let her hair down a little.

My fic for the @b99fandomevents Summer 2020 Fic Exchange for @sentientencyclopedia! The request was a fic involving Jake and Amy at the boardwalk and I immediately thought of Coney Island! I hope you love it.

She steps out of the car and immediately moves to shield her eyes from the glaring sun.

“Ugh,” she winces. “I can’t believe this is where our witness works.”

Jake shuts his car door and gasps in mock outrage. “Santiago, this is the best day of my life! I finally get to work a case at Coney Island and you will not ruin this for me.”

Amy rolls her eyes in return. “Peralta, we’re here to interview a robbery witness, not ride roller coasters.”

Jake smirks. “We’ll see about that, Detective.”

The bickering doesn’t stop on their way to interview their witness, but that’s nothing new for Detectives Santiago and Peralta. In Amy’s first few months at the Nine-Nine, Jake’s proven to be a pretty sharp thorn in her side. He finds every opportunity to undercut her or tease her for being such a stickler with rules. It’s always in the form of a joke but Amy can tell there’s an edge to his humor. It’s hard being the newest detective, and he doesn’t make it any easier on her. Not that she would ever let him know just how much it gets to her sometimes - she would never give him the satisfaction.

The witness - a ride attendant at the wonder wheel - proves to be extremely helpful for their case and Jake and Amy finish the interview in less than 15 minutes.

As they start to head back to the car and the fluorescent lights of the precinct, Amy adjusts her sunglasses and says, “Well, I guess I can check Coney Island off of my New York City bucket list now.”

Jake whips his head around to stare wide-eyed at her, his curly hair swept to the side by the beachside breeze. “Are you kidding me? You’ve never been to Coney Island before?”
