New Fic: Protip: Bombproof Your Castle

One of the fanfictions from COFIC, my COVID-19 fanfiction event to both provide a little extra entertainment while everyone is practicing social distancing and a thank you to all those on the front lines saving lives and a thank you to my financial supporters on Patreon ♥ I hope to publish a few of these fics on AO3 :)

Protip: Bombproof Your Castle

Summary: A defensive training exercise with the Lions turns into an impromptu game of baseball. And, well… the home run hitter is up to bat and the Castle of Lions did not skootchy-bootchy-back.

Story snippet: 

“Your Lion is the shield, Hunk,” Shiro said kindly and patiently over the comms. “She’s meant to take a hit to protect others.” Lance smiled at that. “Let’s try it for a few minutes and if you don’t feel good we can take a break, all right?”

“Okay,” Hunk said quietly. 

“Good,” and Lance could picture Shiro smiling. “All right then, Paladins, go!” 

No one fired.

Someone stifled a laugh on the comms.

“Oh fuck it,” Pidge muttered.

Shiro’s response to that was swallowed up by the Green Lion’s canon fire and Hunk’s resulting yelp as he jerked the Yellow Lion sideways.

Pidge’s shot broke the spell though and they began to each fire off multiple blasts — high and low and all over the terrain — while the Yellow Lion stumbled her way around and through them and Hunk’s mutters of “oh no,” “oops” and “oh cheeseballs” sounded over the comms.

“Hunk, block!” Shiro shouted as another strike hit the Yellow Lion head on. 

Hunk and Yellow let out a roar in tandem and swung in a half circle, tail flying, and it intercepted one of Keith’s strikes and shot it back at them, Keith’s “Whoah!” music to Lance’s ears as he and the Red Lion had to drop back down to the ground. 

“Yeah, home run!” Lance whooped as it disappeared over the ridge.

A light bulb went off over his head.

COFIC -- A COVID-19 Fanfiction Event!

COFIC is my fanfiction event in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide a little extra content to everyone who are both staying home and social distancing and to those who are working incredibly hard out there and might enjoy a little fic to end their day on. It's also a thank you to all my Patreons for their financial support, which this month and next is going to help some people I personally know affected by COVID-19 and are in a tough financial spot themselves.

This event is being hosted on my Patreon with entries possible through 10am CST on Thursday, April 2 with the hope to start posting fics there starting on Monday, April 6. Depending on the number of entries I may post some fanfics on AO3 as well, but all of the fics from the event will be available to Chai Tea ($3/month) Tier patrons + to read on Patreon site and (if they make it to AO3) minimum a week early access on Patreon.

Stay safe!

Better Than Any Flame

written by, alisvolatpropiis

““You've got something on your face,” Derek says, clearing his throat, resisting the urge to reach up and touch the scraggly beard, to get his mouth on it.

Stiles rolls his eyes but he still leans forward to bump a shoulder against his in greeting. “This thing,” he says, petting it. “Scott and I had a bet to see who could grow a better beard.”

Derek doesn’t even glance over at Scott, who he already knows is clean-shaven; he just holds Stiles’ unnerving stare, trying to figure out the look in those big brown eyes. It's something like innocence, but it's way too knowing, too sure, to be sincere. It's classic Stiles, really. Derek raises one eyebrow at him and strokes his own, better beard, making a show of luxuriating in how full and soft it is. “And you lost so you had to keep yours,” he says finally, fighting a smile.

Stiles tosses his head back in wide-mouthed laughter, and goddammit, Derek wants to lick, wants to taste, wants to feel. Stiles walks past him on his way to the dining room, patting him roughly on the shoulder, winking again. “I missed you too, big guy.”

Love. As weird as it is to imagine stiles with a beard, I can’t get over it in this fic.

Really, Derek Hale?

written by, relenafanel

“Derek loves his sisters, so when Allison expresses the need to visit her family home in Beacon Hills years after the death of her parents, Derek agrees. It's the perfect setting for him to work on the storyboard for Lycaon Production's newest horror movie. It also happens to be the hometown of one of the most popular horror movie vloggers.

Stiles' Horror Picture Blog just might be the inspiration he needs to put Lycaon back on the big screen. He doesn't expect Stiles himself to become his inspiration.

And he certainly doesn't expect Stiles' antagonistic treatment of him in return, even if he understands how it happened. Derek has never been very good atpeople, and he has no idea how to make it right when everything he tries just makes Stiles' opinion of him worse.”

Rating: PG-13

Words: 47129

Chapters: 7/7

While this fic may not have a ton of stiles/derek near the beginning, it is fantastic and builds up to an even better fic throughout the series. This slow burn will burn your cold dead heart. The series as a whole has lots of stiles/derek though.
