August Round-Up
August has officially drawn to a close, and with it ends our August Tiva Fic Challenge! You guys gave us some really great stuff this month—we have our fingers crossed that you will all keep up this gorgeous enthusiasm in the month of September! Here are all of the submissions that we were notified about... if your fic was missed, please let us know so we can add it in! Also, if there are any of these that you haven’t already lost yourself in yet, please give them a read! Support our fantastic writers and appreciate all the work they put in this month! Below, you will find the title, the author, and our favorite line for each fic. The title should include a link to each original post so you can read every entry for yourself.
As a reminder, we were following this prompt:
Related to “Truth or Consequences”
Less than 1,000 words
Including the line “You could have died.”
To everyone who submitted a fic, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Rationality by @justkindaoverhereobsessing
“Family’s not rational. Never has been.”

chashashot (חֲשָׁשׁוֹת) by @justkindaoverhereobsessing
Terrified of touching her, Tony offers what little comfort he can: keeping his distance, he joins her on the floor and sits in silent vigil for all the things she will never get back.
.
so close but not near by @benditlikepress
He is right in his silent assessment - what exists between us has never been tangible but now more than ever it is hanging in jeopardy.

We Get to Have It All (chapter two) by @thatreallysucked
Right now, with her face half pressed into his neck, her smile is lazy and sleep-drunk.
.
Till It’s Gone by @television-overload
In this quiet moment, uninterrupted by inane arguments and his own self-sabotage, Tony’s mind wandered to the things he refused to admit to himself.
.
Tell the World We’re Coming Home by @bamboo72498
When that hood was pulled off and Tony saw her face for the first time, his stomach dropped out of his ass.
.
Learned Helplessness by @bibliophilemnm
She came to realize after several weeks in the dark that the darkness was almost a blessing.

August
And last but not least, we received one more fic... as you can see, it was entitled August. The author didn’t want to post or share the fic, but we read it and loved it, and that author deserves to have their fic represented in this round-up, too. Thank you for contributing, author of August!
______________
That’s all for this month, friends! Please keep your eyes peeled in just a few minutes for something totally different coming your way in September! We appreciate each and every one of you—thank you for making our first month such a big success!
top 5 fic tropes <333333
omggg darling holder of my heart ❤ fanfic queen, soulmate material, 20/10 music taste <333
thank you for the ask!!! (beware i'll be replying this keeping in mind you're one of the best tiva writers out there so this is just a way for me to get to read my favorite tropes in a possible foreseeable future so YEAH you gave me this power, not my fault 😌)
fanfic tropes that make my heart go whooosh 💫
1. I know you feel this attraction between us but I'm scared this is all just me seeing what I want to see and so I will try my best not to want to kiss you 24/7 while we pretend all these night-long conversations are not amazing dates and wow suddenly you're kissing my cheek? what's that all about?
*bonus point if they linger by the door not wanting to leave ;)
2. I hate you, I can't even remember a time when I didn't hate you, you're just insufferable and I hate the way you yawn and the way you're too loud while typing and your ridiculous music taste and the way you're sweet with kids and also so hot with fancy clothing and wtf why do I want to kiss you so much?
3. we work together and we're on a very important assignment that needs to be taken seriously and you're really not helping making jokes of everything and suddenly we're lost in a blizzard in the middle of nowhere and omg? what's that, a cabin? what do you mean we'll have to cuddle for warmth???
*bonus point if the person who finds them cuddling is someone who thinks they're a couple and they tried to deny everything :')
4. we have this very risky job and are trained for dealing with danger but you're a dumbass who got hurt doing a very idiotic thing and now you're bleeding and i'm taking you to the hospital and omg what if you die? and then you'll never know how I felt? I've loved you for years but now you're unconscious and I guess my very last chance is to confess all my feelings by your deathbed and pray that you come back to me
*bonus point if the person said a very awful thing earlier and now regrets it
**extra bonus point if the other one was listening all along and jokes about said hurtful thing as soon as they "wake up"
5. domestic bliss. there's absolutely nothing to worry about. laying in bed on a sunday morning or going to the park so we can watch the ducks on the pond, or cooking your favorite meal and getting drunk in our own home, or suddenly our eyes meet through the mirror while we're brushing our teeth and it's so nice that we both know we love each other and it's incredible that nothing can hurt us now and everything turned out well <3
there you have it!!! I can really talk about this on and on for hours but these are a few 💞
honesty hour: ask game
3, 16 and 43
Thank you love ❤️❤️❤️
3. What is the best fandom you’ve ever been involved in?:
NCIS, especially for the year or so I was involved when Cote was still a regular. I met so many awesome people from it, and despite everything that happened I will always be so thankful for that. The OUAT fandom was also pretty solid for a while, but I didn’t get as close with people from there.
16. Are their any popular ships in your fandom which you dislike?:
I’m not a huge fan of Gibbs/Sloane tbh. Also cannot stand Meredith/DeLuca from Grey’s!
43. Is there anyone in your fandom who really inspires you?:
Oh there are so many! You’re all seriously talented. I like to think I’m a pretty good fic writer, but when I see your fanfiction/GIFs/vids I feel totally put to shame sometimes!
Off the top of my head (aka what I’ve been reading/seeing this week): @indestinatus @benditlikepress @harmandmac @coffeedepablo @alyssinmymind @ocheabutter @irish-trish @hundan @wanna-be-bold are all amazing and should be followed if you aren’t already!!
@benditlikepress replied to your post: Have I missed anything in 24 hours????
We mainly have been looking at pictures of cote and crying. So the usual
^^^^
This is us looking at her :’)
slouchingprovocatively /post/187819820847/ if you can remember the name of the fic in the tags I will love you forever
okay apparently it was 200 mile, not 1000, which makes more sense sksks buuut this fic!
benditlikepress replied to your post: i just sent my crush a long ass curated playlist...
U have my solidarity I once sent a girl an all female playlist where the word pussy featured in like 5 song titles
FUCK YOU’RE MY HERO
the one i sent has a song on it called ‘i wanna be your girlfriend’ i dont know if im being clear enough with my intentions here
benditlikepress replied to your post: LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH COTE’S RETURN...
1am crew? Bring it on I’m so excited
yes! 1am crew!
