not tagged, shamelessly stealing this game

Rules:

post the top 5 works you’re most proud of that you released in 2022 (not necessarily your most popular)

your top 4 current WIPs that you’re excited to release in the new year

your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing (or art) over the past year

your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year,

and your number 1 favorite line you’ve written this year!

Top Five Works:

1 Daily Scott Rec Blog

This a rec blog where I rec one Scott fic per day. I have read things I might never have, encouraged writers and artists and commenters. It's just a nice place. And I kid you not, I legit cried when I was queuing Dec. 31st's post. For a person who has been so good at... not finishing things, I am so proud of this.

2 Scottuary Set (ratings vary from G-E)

My first set of scottuary fics. 13 fics all with a significant amount of effort by myself and @spikeface combining the prompts to fill out an entire card. I was so thrilled when I got that blackout. And I am really proud of every single one of those stories.

3 Deucalion's Progeny (e, dark fic, noncon)

This is the fic that probably really got me back into writing. I did it for nano 2021 and spent a lot of 2022 finishing it. It's incredibly self-indulgent and I really just let myself indulge of my dark little urges for it. It's also truedemon. I'm so close to finishing it, tbh. But I am still proud of it even if it isn't done.

4 Amplification (e, darkfic, noncon)

This was the first wip I have posted before completion in decades. I was Very Concern that it would join many from the past as "never completed forever". But I did finish it. And I really liked how it turned out.

5 Scott/Multishipping Edit

I think this shows a lot of what I have learned re: editing this year. I also love how many different pairings I managed to get. I have plans to make another with just as many *different* pairings. Scott should be the fandom bike and I am so happy to show everyone why.

Honorable mention: Scott/Nemeton edit

Listen. I spent so much time on this crack edit you don't even know. And it makes me laugh every single time.

Top 3 Improvements in your writing:

1- Confidence. I know have a lot more confidence in my abilities and ideas than I did before the beginning of last year.

2- Learning to work with a beta reader and really use constructive feedback to make something good Extra good

3-Writing a fic about someone who isn't the POV character and finding that balance. I would point to my Noshiko and Scott, Boyd and Scott and Satomi and Kira fics as fics where I felt like I really learned a lot about find that. It's challenging but so rewarding.

Top 2 resolutions

1 - quit measuring the success of my writing by kudos, especially as compared to others. it's not super reasonable in general, and so much worse in this fandom

2- work with helping other writers, possibly by beta reading. understanding i can offer valuable insight even if I'm not the best at spelling and grammar help

Top Five WIPs:

Truedemon long fic, 50k+ of Scott goes with the alpha pack

Explicit Scottuary Bingos: scaleo, scott/nemeton ft: polypack agenda, sciles holidays, scallison and scott/ethan, lydia/jackson, lydia/scott, jackson/scott

Rafael and Scott casefic basically

Maybe Satomi fic if I can get myself motivated

Edit! I forgot to answer: and your number 1 favorite line you’ve written this year!

Which, to be fair, is a completely impossible question to answer. I love a lot of the lines I wrote this year. But I haven't had the opportunity to brag about the summary for my scira fic:

for your pleasure (e, consensual) : Or: Kira sells her husband to his former enemies for his (and her) pleasure. (And charity.)

Fortunately or unfortunately for you guys, I think I'm hilarious. This summary never fails to make me smile. And the fic is p hot porn, too. Very loving. <3 (For real, actually.)

I tag with no pressure: @spikeface, @momentofmemory, @scintalla, @letthestorieslive, @azraeldoesnotdispute, @rhyslahey, @domesticated-feral, @nacreousgore, @slumop, @slice-of-magenta

and anyone else who wants to do it. steal it like did! it's fun

[slice-of-magenta]

I got my bingo! Feast eyes on my odd flower drawing- Clearly. Clearly. I have more points than a certain someone - I’m kidding. I’m so happy I am able to get at least one of my bingos out here. And so happy that I read a lot of amzing works from Scottuary. Below are my recs for the diagonal bingo!

Taking Too Much Pain

varicose veins  by @momentofmemory

Theo and Scott.  It could be lengthy for some, but I will say it again: I LOVE this fic. So much. It’s worth the read and is so engaging, the words captured me and wouldn’t let go! I think I lost a boot in my fight lol. This is the fic with the absolute definition of hurt/comfort, sick fic, and ‘Taking too much pain.’ I promise, its elegant and so beautiful. And I would spoil it here, but you’ll have to read it to find out because. Scott and theo. Bond in their own ways. (Its character closure nonetheless!) <3

Berserker Trauma

Exactly Enough by @scribeoffate

Stiles and Scott. Scott has a nightmare produced by the unprocessed traumas of being a berserker. I love how in sync and how seamless and soft the scene becomes.. It becomes another ultimate sciles feels fic. Another hurt/comfort. Which I am a sucker for btw. Just, Scott waking up with Stiles is so sweet.

Free Space

Don't Apologize by @kailaris_rites_223 

Theo and Scott. Scott is so tired and he lets those feelings out. And I feel his emotions of remorse vividly, it could be mine. His thought process is so natural. That, and somehow, the author managed to describe Theo in the short amount in time, and make me fall in love with Theo, and sceo lol

Family

Baby Steps by @sees-writes

Melissa and Scott. This story has been one of the most imprinting stories I’ve read with these two alone. I cannot forget about them both dealing with the werewolf changes. The tension that continues to ensue from this is a discovery to all three. To Melissa. Scott, and even me, surprisingly! I already know the story, We were all processing the turn of events. This was beautifully written! And a much needed scene that was left to the side from us. They talk it out. Aka, a missing scene.

Pain Taking Aftershocks

it doesn't always have to hurt by @dahliia04

Gen. More than one relation. I love the way it plays out and how its organized. We have all sorts of experiences from Scott learning how to take pain, to Scott having Pain Taking Aftershocks, etc. I had so much closure with the characters. Everyone at the end, even ‘enemies’ helping. It fills in those gaps.

Reader’s Bingo #11!

First Time Taking Pain: Me tienes a mi, by @silent-snake7​ 

A look at Isaac’s first time taking pain + a flashback to Scott’s first time, this fic is soooooo sweet. My heart melted at Scott instinctively taking the labrador’s pain, and then he also helps Isaac (and maybe Isaac helps him!!).

Pack Symbol: Until the End of Time, by @lightsadrift​  ​

This fic gutted me in all the best ways. The Scira angst is agony, but in a really loving, quietly hopeful kind of way. The use of the pack symbol as a reminder of what they mean to each other is excellent, and i am deep in my scira feels now.

Free Space: Teen Crab, by @scribeoffate​  ​

Literally cannot stop giggling about this one. It’s Scott!! But crab!! He has tiny little claws and yet a desire to Maim but tub so large and Stiles so far!! All of this killed me and is just so good and fun.

Pack Bonds: Forged in Fire, by @sees-writes​

This fic is the perfect combo of fluff, angst, bonding, and tragedy. It front loads all of Scott’s pack bonds throughout the series, and I love how so many people are included. And then the end tosses us back to 5a and the moment of his death, and it’s agony in all the best ways.

Someone Else Taking His Pain: it doesn't always have to hurt, by @dahliia04​  ​

This was soooooooo gooooooood. A collection of three vignettes about Scott taking pain, it really showcases Scott’s relationship with pain taking—the good, the bad, and the need to take care of himself, too.

Reader’s Bingo #10!

Pain Taking Aftershocks: Let the Mind Wander, by @slice-of-magenta​​  ​

The metaphor of the guitar string in this is so heartrending, and I was absorbed by this fic from start to finish. Scott is clearly so worn out here, but the interactions between and his mom, Derek, and Stiles are so rich, and the ending made me 🥺.

Scott + Betas: tiempo de vals, by @lpwrites​

I love this fic so muchhhhh!! Scott and Erica are so sweet, and i love the softer look at what their lives could’ve been like in a softer world. The little anxieties in the everyday life are grounded excellently, and I just love seeing them love each other.

High School Life: Study Session, by @lightsadrift​ 

This is complete and utter embodiment of high school life and i love itttttt. They’re just hanging out! Studying and enjoying each other’s company! I love how many people and personalities are at play, and Scott being playful with M&Ms made me smile.

Road Trip: Best Bros Roadtrip, by @scribeoffate 

This fic perfectly encapsulates what makes a road trip fic great. The sciles banter is wonderful, there’s stops for snacks at a gas station, it’s got all the vibes of going out on your own for the first time, and the convo at the end is just so sweet.

Someone Else Taking His Pain:  "You'll be okay.", by @sammi-phoenix​  ​

Scott gets to cry!! It’s what he deserves and I love how sweet and blunt and helpful Malia is in this fic. I also appreciate how Malia assured him it was okay to need help, and give him space to process everything that happened to him.

furia by lethargicProfessor

In the aftermath of a revelation, there's silence.

(Missing Scene for 2x10: Fury)

Reasons to love the fic: Oh. Oh. This one hurts. It's such a good look at Scott and Melissa directly after fury.

varicose veins by momentofmemory

Author summary:

Theo can smell Scott’s sweat from the long run. The aftershave he’d used this morning. The rain-smell of his clothes.

Still none of the exhaustion he knows has to be there, or the relief from making it out of the elements. Not a thing about his emotional state at all.

It’s not like him.

Reasons to love the fic: Theo's point of view- completely trying and failing to understand and manipulate Scott in this instance. All of the little details about what living in a weird tunnel with the dread doctors might have been like. Scotttt. Taking on too much pain. This fic is such a nice look at post canon Scott and Theo relationship.

Be sure to let the author know if you enjoyed the fic!

hand in the clouds by spikeface

It was ridiculous to be nervous. Scott knew that. He was where he needed to be—he’d checked the room number twice—and all he had to do was keep his head down.

Reasons to love the fic: Scott being nervous about college. Scott looking for his friends and being there. This is so sweet and such a nice look at Danny and Scott interaction.

As always, be sure to let the author know if you enjoyed the fic!

Reader’s Bingo #9!

Cultural Heritage: No Mordidas, please, by @gemini-in-tauro​ 

I love this fic sO much??? The pack dynamics are just perfect and Scott 100% deserves this kind of birthday love and cheer in his life. The ending with the cake had me grinning from ear to ear. 🥰

Family: Familia Especial, by @scribeoffate  ​

This fic is so sweeeeeeeeet. Ally is perfect as the child of Scott & Kira, and I love the conversation she and Scott have about family, through the lens of Encanto. The nod to Melissa and what she’d like to be called is especially thoughtful.

Scott’s the Hot Girl: Twilight Effect, by @sees-writes 

Perfect embodiment of Hot Girl Scott McCall!!! Everyone crushing on Scott was so cute, and I really enjoyed the inclusion of the black light party at the end. Let them have fun!!

Pack Bonds: hand in the clouds, by @spikeface 

I am slightly biased bc it is Present for Me but I’m still right about it. I really love a softer look at post-canon Scott, and how even “just” college is still scary!! But then Friend is there and it is okay. 🥰

Fairytale AU: The Little Cinder Boy, by @scribeoffate 

Listen I have a lot of love for this fic and no one can stop me. The blend of canon and the original fairytale is done so delightfully, and who doesn’t love Scott in Fancy Attire?? A++ fic would rec again.
