Rules:
Please tag your submissions for the event as #nedcanweek2023 and feel free to tag the blog @nedcanweek to be sure I see it.
Fanfiction, fanart, headcanons, moodboards and any other creative outlet will be accepted. Just please tag any necessary content warnings (ex. Gore, unrequited love, character death etc.). If there is any confusion, feel free to message me or send in an ask
NS/FW will be allowed but must be tagged as either ns/fw or nsft. But No rape, non-con, incest, underage, etc.
Side ships/past relationships/poly ships are allowed in your content, but please try to keep NedCan as the focus
Please no ship hate, discrimination, racism, homophobia or any other form of hate.
You don’t have to do every day or both prompts (Ex. you could do just fantasy instead of both coffee shop au and fantasy). Also late submissions will be accepted throughout the year.
Interpret prompts as you will and prompts don’t have to be the main focus of the work; the prompt just has to be a part of it in some way. For the free day you can do whatever you want, but the prompt of language is there for those who want a bit of guidance.
Don’t post prompts before the designated dates.
If I don’t reblog your post please give me at least 24-hours before messaging me about it because it might be that I’m just busy that day. But if there is an issue do reach out.
Most of all have fun!

Slice of the Domestic
The stress had been eating at him from the inside out. For weeks it had felt like his stomach was dissolving, like barbed wire had tied up his lungs, like he was just floating through everything else that wasn’t work. So when Arthur of all people suggested he take a break, Matthew finally agreed.
He’d run away up north for a month. Much better than snapping and running off to the woods and coming back half naked, ragged, and sick or at the very least, undernourished. At least those past runaways made it easy to get the month off.
How Jan also got the month off was beyond Matthew. He didn’t want to dwell on it or how Jan was doing this just for him and instead focus on the little slice of domestic life he had been given.
He watched Jan against the backdrop of trees and amongst the garden of herbs and veggies as the Dutchman collected ingredients for dinner. Matthew's chest ached, having missed the serenity of just living off the land. Nowadays, he could barely keep up his little vegetable garden without the help of some fairies, and he was lucky if he had the energy to harvest and hunt the ingredients he needed for a truly fresh meal right from his own backyard.
The fish he caught earlier that morning sat in the fridge, but it could wait a few more minutes before descaling and frying it up. Just enough time to add the last few details to the painting he had been working on since they got up here. A warped, dreamlike rendition of the cliffs across the way.
Jan plopped down next to him, a basket full of carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, and mixed greens. “Almost done?”
“Mhm. I think I’ll do the waterfall that’s just down the way next.”
Jan kissed his temple. “So I take it we're going canoeing then tomorrow?”
“Yeah. If you’re alright with that.”
“Whatever you want.” He threw an arm around Matthew’s shoulder and pulled him against his side, watching as Matt dabbed on some highlights. “So…How are you…doing?
Matthew shrugged, not daring to look up from his painting. “Could be worse, could be better. I’m getting there though…”
“You shouldn’t push yourself so much when they refuse to listen anyway.” Jan leaned back on the couch. “The days of our influence in government are, for the most part, over.”
“Not all of them have been like that.”
“But most of the recent ones have.”
Matthew huffed, putting the painting to the side. “You sound like Dad.”
“In this case, your father is right.”
He bit his lip. His bosses had never listened to him. In the past it was because he had been too anxious, and now that he finally found his voice, he was ignored. But at least being in the House, doing paperwork let him stay on top of things his government was doing.
“Hey, look at me,” Jan said gently, taking Matthew’s chin and forcing him to look at him. “I’m not saying throw it all away. But find other ways where your words are actually considered. And don’t make yourself sick over it."
Matthew booped Jan’s nose. “That’s rich coming from you.”
Jan only scoffed. He couldn’t exactly argue. Matthew smirked.
“I should start on the fish,” Matthew sighed, cuddling up to Jan, arm across his lap, head on his shoulder.
“Go. I’ll be there when you get back for all the cuddles you want.”
Matthew groaned. “Fine…” He trudged into the house to start supper, taking the veggies with him.
So I heard it was Nedcan week...
This was VERY rushed because I was on a bit of a time crunch today, and so it probably doesn't go as smoothly as I want it to, but oh well. I'll take this week as like. A lil warmup for future projects, because I have a LOT of stuff to work on, including stuff for school.
Day 1: Tulips/Flowers || Literature
I love these silly guys but I think that much is obvious right now.
