2021 Creator Self-Love Extravaganza!

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 favorite works (fics, art, edits, etc.) you’ve created this year and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you’ve brought into the world in 2021. If you don’t have five published works, that’s fine! Include ideas/drafts/whatever you like that you’ve worked on/thought about, and talk a little about them instead! Remember, this is all about self-love and positive enthusiasm, so fuck the rules if you need to. Have fun, and tag as many fellow creators as you like so they can share the love! <3

Tagged by @nokaru Oof, it’s hard to keep track of favorites after about a month! XD (But I’ll do my best.) I usually have monthly favorites, and then forget about them with recent stuff. (I might just share more than five as I sort through.) XD (Maybe self control’s something I should work more on.) XD (And usually, my favorites are the gift fics I’ve written or the requested fics, so I have no idea, because I try not to link them, but I might.) I guess I’ll be bad anyway, and link some of them. Sorry. Unlikeliest Of Paths (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13852162/1/Unlikeliest-Of-Paths) (ZenYuki fantasy AU.) The giftfic I wrote for Whitehorse102. It broke my record in longest oneshot I’d ever written back in March, I believe? I deliberately wrote long, which is so unlike me, but still. XD Honestly, it was a challenge in world building, with a focus on nature and fantasy. I wanted the setting and the animals within it to come to life. I had a ton of work to do with getting Zen and Shirayuki to even meet, let alone fall in love. (Obi’s a real treat in it too.) XD It has Garack and Ryuu and Obi, Mitsuhide, and Kiki all in it too. It has a longer character list than I’m used to writing and was almost intimidating. But one of the things I love about Whitehorse102′s writing is her amount of detail and the length of her work, so I tried replicating that in a gift for her. Because I definitely wanted to create a story that she’d end up really loving. Attempted Assassination And A Wager With A Kiss Involved (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13928958/1/Attempted-Assassination-And-A-Wager-With-A-Kiss-Involved) (ObiYuki AU (for AU Bingo) and based off of An Assassin’s Guide To Love And Treason by Virginia Boecker) Oh, boy was this one a real challenge too. <3 I’ve been going through a reading dry spell most of the time lately, and this novel was one of the few novels (if not only one) that I picked up and read this year. And from the get go, it gave me major ObiYuki vibes. The female lead is a red head, believe it or not, and she reminds me so much of Shirayuki. And the male lead reminds me a ton of Obi. (They have different eye colors, but both have black hair too.) So, appearance and personality wise both the male lead and the female lead remind me of ObiYuki. So, I knew I wanted to write an AU based off of the novel for ObiYuki, just it didn’t happen right away. When I got my Bingo Board this year, I knew immediately that this is what I wanted to use one of the prompts for. <3 Honestly, the novel has one of my favorite kiss scenes in it, and I knew I wanted to include that in my fanfic. This became my longest oneshot ever, so I broke my record twice in one year. XD Which is unheard of for me. But this oneshot was going to be so much longer, but despite starting it at the beginning of Bingo (back in June), I was running out of time, so I got to a great ending point and finished it up in July. I had to write the dice scene, the almost kiss scene, the first kiss, etc... I loved them too much to not include them, and then there were the plot driven stuff. I had to figure out what to include from the novel and what not to. And honestly, I was a little bummed that I didn’t make it to the assassination attempt or the betrayal (of Kazuki’s, if I remember my casting well.) XD But I love AUs, and I seldom write them, so it was definitely a lot of fun and quite intimidating to take up this project. Wow. Warm Days With You (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13948205/1/Warm-Days-With-You) (A Zeno X Kaya fic.) <3 (Time to switch somewhat to Yona Of The Dawn, I guess.) XD Okay, this was the fic that I first wrote Zeno’s dialogue for and was written during the first month i ever wrote for Yona Of The Dawn. Bear with me, please. XD But it was also the first time I’d written Kaya’s dialogue. I wanted to write Zeno’s dialogue before the month ended as a sort of birthday present to our beloved Ouryuu. And I love Zeno X Kaya, so... But I was sorting through the doc manager, because I write too much, and it can’t keep up. XD I was trying to find what I should remove from it just the other day, and I am awful at remembering titles. So, I opened up this fic’s doc and began to read. And I got absolutely sucked into it. The description is beautiful, and I think the dialogue sounds just like them. So, despite it being my first time writing them with dialogue, I actually really like it. (I want to write more Zeno X Kaya fluff fics, but alas, my mind is blanking on actual ideas.) XD Maybe soon, I’ll figure something out. <3 As Close As We Can Be (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13952152/1/As-Close-As-We-Can-Be) (HakYona.) Okay, I don’t write a huge amount of HakYona, but this is one of my first ones. And it has no dialogue; it’s really just a kiss fic. But it has some of my most poetic metaphor, and I’ve found it really, really pretty for a while. It feels more like a poem than the oneshot it is, and it’s still probably my favorite HakYona fic that I’ve written. :) Something’s Changed (Regrouping Emotions) https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14001537/1/Something-s-Changed-Regrouping-Emotions (HakYona as well.) So, this one does actually have dialogue, and the HakYona is only implied onesided. But, still. XD This is my first (and so far only) attempt at remedying what the honey scene was like for me. I always wished that Hak and Yona would have talked behind the scenes afterward, and just sorted it out. So, since canon didn’t show us a scene like that, I wrote one. XD (I do firmly believe that they talked about it behind the scenes canonically, but I have no evidence or proof of it.) XD So, I tried to capture the awkwardness of the honey scene in this fic, with metaphor and imagery that for me makes me feel so awkward. Like, mutual embarrassment or something similar. And I tried to write one of the hardest HakYona fics so far. I’ve written two difficult HakYona fics where they have important conversations, but the honey fic is the only one I’m linking today. This is canon compliant, and just a behind the scenes look, so honestly, timeline after this fic is normal, and Yona will eventually fall for Hak. Waxing And Waning Emotions (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14000402/1/Waxing-And-Waning-Emotions) (Shin-Ah centric oneshot, with references to his friendship/familial bonds with Zeno and Yona.) Okay, let’s backtrack from all that romance, alright? XD I like this fic, because of the style in which I wrote it. I tried something new, and referred to Shin-Ah’s emotions in terms of the moonphases. (I didn’t use all the phases, but I did reference New Moon, Full Moon, and the fact that the phases both wane and wax.) So, we see Shin-Ah, very happy, very angry, and very sad and the in between moments. It’s centered on manga (and anime) moments in canon, so it just gives us a bit more insight into how Shin-Ah feels. I don’t know if it’s my best work, but it was fun and experimental, and I think I grew a lot through it. <3 An Encounter (Of Two Hearts) (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14001974/1/An-Encounter-Of-Two-Hearts) (Kija X Yona AU fic.) So, I felt the need to do a ton of world building and write a lot of description for this fic. And for a while afterward, I remember being in love with how I described Yona. To clarify the AU, Yona is an Axolotl Mermaid in this AU, and I spent a good chunk of time figuring out how she looks and what that would entail. Kija happens to stumble upon her. It’s pre-relationship. Just their first meeting, and probably more mutual crushes than anything else. But the description is very detailed, and the world building set the stage for how I do worldbuilding for Yona Of The Dawn AUs now. This was only written last month too. XD (I posted it this month however.) XD Another Breaking (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13952677/1/Another-Breaking) (A fanpoem from Yona’s perspective on seeing Soo-Won in Awa.) So, time to switch things up, I guess? XD I wrote a lot of heartbreaking metaphor in this poem, of how it feels to be this close to Soo-Won, how painful the memories are, etc... It’s a longer fanpoem too, but it’s definitely an emotional one. (I wrote other poems around the same time dealing with Soo-Won’s betrayal, but this is the one that made me feel like I’d satisfied my urge to write on Awa’s accidental meeting.) In The Healing Of A Heart (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13957410/1/In-The-Healing-Of-A-Heart) (Zeno’s first person perspective on chapter 99/100′s group hug scene fanpoem.) Okay, I like the theme of this one, and I might as well share some Happy Hungry Bunch stories. <3 I love reading the manga and picturing how Zeno’s feeling at certain points, and of course, these chapters are some of my favorites to do so with. And Zeno definitely deserves the little reminders of how much he is loved and how much he means to others. So, here’s a hurt/comfort fanpoem, that is another longer one. Whoops. XD Between Loyalty And Romance (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13945419/1/Between-Loyalty-And-Romance) (Kija X Yona fanpoem.) It’s onesided, and it plays around with something Kija said during the love potion extra chapter. It’s another long fanpoem, but I like it. It was the first time I wrote onesided Kija X Yona feelings in a fanpoem, I believe. (Given that Kija was one of the first characters I ever wrote dialogue for, that’s an interesting fact.) XD Taking To The Sky (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13991781/1/Taking-To-The-Sky) (JaeYona oneshot.) So, here’s a JaeYona oneshot told from Yona’s first person perspective. This like the HakYona fic above feels more like poetry than prose, but yet it’s a two sided JaeYona fic, where Yona states her feelings to Jae-Ha in a sense, even though there’s no dialogue. It feels more like a love letter or a love poem than a normal oneshot, and though it kicked off a challenge I started for myself last month, it holds an even more special place in my heart, because it caught what I knew was a challenge for love poetry and somehow did so in prose. So, not only was it fun to write and for one of my favorite pairings, it also managed to capture a theme that I could think about but not write about before it. So, yay! <3 Under Dawn Light (A Pink Ocean Greets Us) https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13994391/1/Under-Dawn-Light-A-Pink-Ocean-Greets-Us (Shin-Ah X Yona, AU, oneshot.) So, this one I thought about sharing for a different reason, and rereading it, that didn’t stick out to me. But the metaphors toward the end I really like. It’s another Mer!AU, and I believe it’s the first one I wrote for Yona Of The Dawn. I might be wrong though. What Needed To Be Said (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13974010/1/What-Needed-To-Be-Said) (Four Dragon Warriors focused oneshot.) So, this was my first fic writing Shin-Ah’s dialogue, but that isn’t why I’m sharing it. I absolutely love how Zeno is in this fic. How attentive he is and comforting, how I finally wrote Zeno referring to himself as Zeno in dialogue. But it’s just the other three Dragon Warriors looking after Shin-Ah, caring for their brother, and it’s just hurt/comfort, sweet. Shin-Ah’s dealing with a random surge of Ao related grief, and the others go to comfort him, though Shin-Ah doesn’t quite have the words to describe why he’s sad. I kind of wanted to share some of my Kihal X Zen fics (for ANS), but I decided not to. Or even some of my Izana focused fics. (Or something from Platonic Week or even one of my fairly recent ZenYuki fics, but I decided not to.) Partly, because a good chunk of those were written at the beginning of this year, and it’s hard to go back and not see how I’ve grown even in less than a year. And I’ve made it up to thirteen fics in this list. Whoops. I’m not good at limiting myself to five. XD I’m a little nervous about posting this, but I was tagged for it, and I barely share fics here, so why not? The fact that most of the fics shared are for Yona Of The Dawn is simply because I’ve been mostly writing for that lately. Also, a quick shout out to the fic I wrote Nokaru by request, and the Appreciation Giftfics I didn’t didn’t link. And all that I wrote for ZenYuki Month, wow. And to one of the fics I finished up back in August for ZenYuki. <3 So, I’m stopping here. XD I’m tagging: @pentragon @limefeathers @claudeng80 @muselover1901 @noctusfury And I’m blanking on people with Tumblrs that I should tag, so here’s my somewhat longer tag list too. XD
