for cageblade week day 7: free day + sonya’s birthday (21/6)

“girl that was last week” FUCK OFF!!!!

I realized the last time I made a thank you post for cageblade week was in 2023 when I first joined and I feel like I should bring that back!

I haven’t drawn since last year’s cageblade week because life so I’m really glad I can always count on this shipweek to motivate me to draw and eventually we will slowly build my drawing motivation and speed so I can do all 7 days of the week (crazy)

Cagebladeweek day 4: enthusiasm

CageBlade Week 2026

Five years! We've been doing this for five years, can you believe it?? So without further ado, the info for the the Fifth Annual CageBlade Week! We couldn't have done it without you, and as part of that, we have a banner this year that includes art from two artists*, @agapidraws and @2tunafish. CageBlade Week is all about the community, and we received permission to use these pieces of fanart for the banner from the artists.

Event Info

Dates: 15-21 June 2026 (Mon-Sun)

All forms of fanworks will be accepted - fanfic, fanart, gifset, playlist whatever it may be! 

If we somehow missed your post after the end of the event, let us know so we can reblog it! We might be a little slow on the day-to-day but we don’t want to miss anything. The only things we won’t be reblogging are NSFW with minors and explicit noncon. We will reblog late posts.

Make sure to tag your posts with #cagebladeweek (within the first 5 tags, thanks algorithm) and/or @ this blog so we can find and reblog everything.

Participate one day or every day - it doesn’t matter! If you post on an external site (AO3, FFN, DeviantArt) please at least drop a link here so we can reblog it and promote it. There will be an AO3 Collection started closer to the date.

Prompts:

Day 1: bruises/treasure

Day 2: denial/darkness

Day 3: AU of Choice

Day 4: enthusiasm/dawn

Day 5: sleep/mirror

Day 6: future/legacy

Day 7: Free Day!

You may interpret these prompts as strictly or as loosely as your heart desires. You can stick as close or as wide from the prompts as you want. Want to combine two? Go for it! Want to have some other characters cameo or tell a more ensemble tale? Sure - as long as it has Sonya and Johnny at the heart of it.

If you have any questions about prompts and submissions, send us an ask here! We look forward to seeing all the wonderful contributions!

FAQs:

1) Do I have to write in English?: No, you do not! This is a multi-language-friendly event. Post in your language of choice and users can machine translate if needed. If you choose to write in one language and later post translations to English, those translations can also be added to the AO3 collection.

2) Can I write an OT3 fic?: The mods support polyamorous shipping, however this week is for CageBlade specifically. We'd like that contributions focus on Sonya & Johnny's relationship.

3) Well, what if I write a breakup fic and have them hook up with other people? It's still CageBlade, right?: Not for this event. This week is a celebration of CageBlade and how awesome they are together. Want to give us some hurt/comfort, breakup & reconciliation, sure! Whump? Go wild! But we want to see them coming together and realizing how great they are as a couple.

4) What if I don’t like any of the prompts and have ideas of my own?: Then go ahead and write them! Want to explore their friendship before they hooked up? Want to write all AUs? Do you have some art ideas you’re just itching for an excuse to post and draw? The world is your oyster! *I had intentions on putting a second banner together with just the prompts, but my graphic design skills leave...something to be desired.

CageBlade week 2026, Day 1: **Rating:** T **Summary:**

“Raiden said you were back here, figured I’d get the update from you.” “You can. Later.” “Why not now?” “I’d like to put my shirt on.” --

After the events of MK2, Sonya and Johnny try to find a new equilibrium.

Something I thought of today as an MK11 bit:

Younger Sonya: "Seriously?? Him?"

Older Sonya: "Believe it or not, Johnny is the best thing that ever happened to us."

They both watch as younger and older Johnny start tussling like a pair of kids

Younger Sonya makes a pained face.

Older Sonya : " Oooh I know that expression. It's eventually going to give you a permanent laugh line right here."

She taps younger Sonya between the eyes.

Younger Sonya storms off

Older Johnny : "I did offer to pay for botox for that you know."

Older Sonya: " Not helpful honey."

CagbladeWeek2026 - Day 3 - Alternate Universe

Rating: G

Summary: Coffeeshop Alternate Universe.

***MK*** ***MK*** ***MK*** ***MK***

“Hello, welcome to the Happy Bean, may I…oh my goodness…hello gorgeous.” The words tumbled out of his mouth at the attractive blonde woman that had strode up to his counter like she owned the place. Legs for day, and stunning blue eyes. Wow.

“Just give me a coffee, black. It’s been a long day.” She addressed him with a sigh and Johnny frowned.

Since it is CageBlade week, I have done some art!

Though I was suffering from art block and was very busy in the middle of September so I wouldn't be able to do all of the prompts while the week is in session.

Apologies.

But I have day one AND three done!

I'll post three a different time so stay tuned to that or find it in the future by the CageBlade tag! ♡
