Summary: Cody is resting on the couch with Obi-Wan, Fox is teasing them about it, Ahsoka may or may not start a food fight in the kitchen... life at peace-time is good.
Read on Ao3 • more Star Wars by me
Berena drabble, G, no warnings. Bernie is tired after a long shift at the hospital and just wants some caffeine to wake up before the Christmas visitors arrive...
Bernie stares in dismay at the kettle on the countertop.
It's been minutes already and the water still isn't boiling.
"It's broken." She whines at Serena who enters the kitchen.
"You know you can still boil water on the stove, right?" Serena asks, quite amused by her caffeine deprived girlfriend.
Bernie gives her a look of pure betrayal. "Too slow!"
"Well, then I suppose you'll have to eat coffee beans."
"Betrayed, by the kettle and my own girlfriend," Bernie sighs. "And after working the Christmas nightshift!"
"Oh, go sit down, I'll boil you some water, love." Serena kisses her cheek.
for @berenaadvent - thank you for running this event, I haven't managed to write that much for it this year but I still really appreciate all the prompts! Happy Christmas :)

Tagged by @elizabeth-mitchells to share the last song I listened to!
Toni Childs -Stop Your Fussin' (or if we're counting soundtrack, I'm currently watching LotR1 xD)
My mom had it stuck in her head, probably bc it was on the radio, and we looked up the lyrics.
Tagging @hardrockerhippie @jennamacaroni @jackwolfskid @imaginemyhappyplace @observethewalrus @onaperduamedee @sapphicscholar and everyone else who sees this! Also feel free to check out the other tagging memes I did today if you like a different one better or want to do several :D

Spoilery summary below the cut:
✨ Ao3 Wrapped 2024 ✨
2022 • 2023 • more
Works published: I wrote 54 fics this year - 51 you can see plus some on anon ;)
Wordcount: 142,245
I managed to hit my 100k goal quite early this year! And even without counting my ~20k Avorah draft pile, I'm way past it :D As I'm drafting this in early November, this is my stats sheet (adding how it looks now for comparison, I did have some movement in the last two months):
Kudos: 2489
Hits: 37008
Bookmarks: 385
Subscriptions: 183 to my account, 188 to separate works! Funny how that's almost identical numbers rn! Last year my work subs were much lower... I wish I could compare the account subscriptions of past years but for some reason it just shows the current one no matter where I click.
Most popular by kudos: ohhh all those upcoming stats looked So different a couple months ago, namely before I wrote some shortfics for Star Wars, which wins at all those stats by sheer number of people in the fandom xD and finishing the Mirandy Jigsaw podfic also kicked it back up the stats! I don't really know whether to count it as I didn't start it this year, but I did Finish it in October... Hm. So yeah, prior to that the top5 fics in all of the stats were Avorah fics i think. Wish I took a screenshot of that! Now, the most kudosed with 245 is Star Wars Visions of a Future Past
Most hits: Jigsaw with 4579, followed again by visions with 3236
Longest: Bering&Wells Being Known for @anandabrat 13.906 words
Shortest: apart from the podfics? Berena evening for @squishmittenficfan with 1010 words, followed closely by Avorah Closure for @emeraldorchids with 1017! No drabbles this year?? This feels fake, I remember writing at least a Berena one! Oh lol I still had the 'gift fic' filter because that's the last thing I looked at, doing this all out of order... I do in fact have several Berena drabbles. And a Gunpowder Milkshake ficlet of 333 words and a Star Wars Codywan ficlet at 350. All of them here.
Most Comments: technically Jigsaw but not all of them are from 2024, so Being Known with 22 comment threads
The other fics you can see on my stats screenshots here are
The Avorah fics that used to lead in all categories: All About Risk, Tethered, Mistaken Identity, Totally Straight and of borrowed swimsuits, panic attacks and parties without purpose. Mostly smut here!
battles left behind and won, the second part of my Star Wars time travel fic. The third part with Dooku/Jaster smut didn't do as well, maybe because of the rare pair, maybe just because I forgot to link to it from part 2.
& my Avorah wip pile which I'm not counting for the word count total because it consists of several abandoned drafts
(and yes my cursed HP sioc is winning by subs and bookmarks probably because I never update it)
Comment to show off: I'm bad at remembering things so idk which one was my actual fav but I got a comment last month that really made me smile, it's on an old fic in a fandom I'm not really active in anymore but the characters and that fic idea is still very dear to me and the fic only ever got a handful of comments, so seeing this was lovely <3
I also really love getting comments on my podfics as well, especially from people who've already listened to the whole thing! I don't have one specific one but I remember I got a couple comments on old HP podfics this year, as well as on Jigsaw :)
Fics that made me cry: of my own fic probably Bering&Wells And After All We're Only Ordinary Men. For fics I read, you can check out which fics I bookmarked under that tag! Definitely Star Wars magic blanket by @my-insanity-is-an-artform <3
Fics that made me smile: I think most of my fics make me smile at least a little at some point in writing or re-reading, but probably mostly the fluff&humor fics. For reading, this Star Wars ficlet by @calltomuster is the last I remember not just making me smile but actually laugh out loud! And looking into my bookmarks I also found Codywan Keep on the Sunny Side by @themonopolyhat as well as Sith Lord Swell by @AMournfulHowlInTheNight :D
gifts: I gave 23 gifts this year - two less than last year, I guess I did a couple less gift exchanges but I still gift people fics for other reasons so the number is still similar. I also got gifts, by @lavendelhummel @73chn1c0l0rr3v3l @wickedheadache @die-schwanenkoenigin @wilfriede @prozac-shaped-urn, thank you darlings!
collaborations: I don't think I actually collabed with anyone this year? Some things were in the works but didn't pan out... I did start some fics that others continued though! Particularly in Avorah - the inspo fics are linked at the bottom of this work!
events: back in January I posted my Star Trek Winter Gift Exchange fic, then in February the Bering and Wells gift exchange, at the beginning of the year I wrote some ficlets for the Weekly Berena Fix, then I joined May Trope Mayhem with two Avorah ficlets, was part of the Summer Podfic Swap with several short podfics of my own - I also finally finished my 8 hour long Mirandy podfic Jigsaw, which while not part of the event feels a lot more momentous! Now in December I posted my Hacks gift exchange fic, and I wrote three ficlets for the @berenaadvent!
And you can all thank @viharistenno for this cursed addition:
Reader Wordcount: over 40 million! I counted this every month because last year it was so impossible to go through it all in one go xD but by now I've actually learned about an easier way to count it, namely with this:
random.fangirling.net/scripts/ao3_works_stats
Don't worry you don't have to give anything online your Ao3 login, it just helps you to put it in your own Excel sheets to do the sums with.
Also, it just gives you your history - I did Not count my full history because when I click fics I don't read, I then bookmark them 'to read' or 'didn't read' and then filter them out, obviously if you didn't do that all the time you end up with more than you actually read in your history, but it might still be interesting to see the number! For comparison, my full history of December is over a million words more than the one I'm counting.
Bookmarks: (adding this category because I bookmarked truly exorbitant numbers of fic this year, also partly bc of the wordcount checking thing but also because I add summaries and tags and stuff to bookmarks to find fics again later), I had to scroll to page 64 to reach last years 2023's bookmarks, I literally have almost as many bookmarks from this year as i havs from the ten years before that! 1264 of just over 3k total!
For ease of copying: Works published: Wordcount: Kudos: Hits: Bookmarks: Subscriptions: Most popular by kudos: Most hits: Longest: Shortest: Most Comments: Favorite Comment: Fics that made me cry: Fics that made me smile: gifts: collaborations: events: Wordcount read: bookmarks:
Tagging, only if you want to do it of course, everyone tagged above, @cacodaemonia, @guardianrock @bkwormkate @doctor-milfi @anoel and everyone else who sees this :D just pls make your own post, don't reblog! And remember to leave a blank of the qs for the people you tag :)
Also: I've got 440 unread in my inbox o.O pretty sure last year I was on 200sth? (I don't always reply immediately, bc I want to let ppl know once I update that there's sth new - which in some fandoms never happens lmao - or bc I need to think of a good reply to more interesting comments... But 200 that I haven't dealt with from 1 year is excessive adsfg)
Ao3 reader wordcount: December, and overall 2024!
January Feb&Mar April May June Jul&Aug Sept&Oct November
In December I read 3.9 million words, and *drumroll*
in 2024, I read 50 million words in fanfic (almost)! If we add the books I've read, I bet it's at least that much :D
I mainly read Star Wars last month (and probably all of last year), details below the cut :)
Tagging some of the folks whose fic I've read last month - thank you for being at fault for my excessive fandomy consumption xD if you also want to get your reader wordcount (though if you click stuff and then don't read it, that'll be in there too), I describe how to do it here! also feel tagged in the fic writer Ao3 Wrapped! (& do pls lmk if you no longer want to be tagged in things like these!)
Tagged by @daisydoctor13, thank you!
Rules: without naming them, post 10 gifs of your favorite TV shows, then tag people
& Good Omens but I ran out of Gif slots bc see below
...I really don't actually Like that many TV shows all that much??? This was. A Strugglez. I mean I like fandoms for shows that I don't watch xD and there are shows I technically like but haven't watched in forever? And then there are the cop shows I watch with my parents because they're the kleinste gemeinsame nenner that we can agree on but apart from H50 and the first seasons of NCIS I wouldn't say any of them are my favs...
Bonus bc idk whether to include a web series but I had it on there before I could think of a 10th actual TV show:
I do Love all those out of context gifs xDxD

ft. adult & alive Ellie, recently established Berena, and a cold day in December
Summary: Serena wants to spend some quality time together with both her girlfriend and her daughter, and is taking them out to the Christmas market for the afternoon. While Elinor still likes to cause some trouble, it goes better than Serena would have expected.
