We here in the RT Writing Community Discord server run events all year around in the style of Secret Santas - and we’re about to start our Secret Springfairy event! We’d love to get some more people involved, so if you’re interested and haven’t joined the server yet, read on below to see how to join in!
If you have any questions after reading below, please also feel free to send us some asks here. We’re happy to clarify anything!
Sign-ups for Secret Springfairy 2020 close March 8th 2020.
To take part, you need to join the RT Writing Community server. Click here to join! (Make sure to read the rules page, too!)
Our sign-up form will be available until March 8th 2020, and mods will DM you your recipient along with their prompts the following day. Then it’s time to get writing!
You will have until May 1st 2020 to complete your fic. If you need to drop out, you must tell a mod by April 17th 2020 so we can get someone else to write for your recipient. This is to ensure that everyone still participating gets a fic.
Please note: we cannot provide a replacement writer if you drop out after April 17th 2020. We know that real life throws curveballs sometimes and that’s absolutely fine, but if you know you’re going to be busy during the event period, remember that we run four events throughout the year! These events are meant to be fun, not stressful.
Once you’re all done writing, hold on! During the event, we will send out another form where you can choose which date during the posting week works best for you (May 4th-May 10th 2020). When your date comes up, it’s time to post your gift fic!
Each event has its own special characteristic, so make sure to check out the event page to see what this one’s all about!
Here we are with all of the fics our members created in this season’s event! The list is ordered by posting dates (4th-10th of May 2020).
Thank you to everyone who participated!
Buildings fall, I tumble - Tallowwood, rated T
This wasn't what Jon expected when he was transferred to Los Santos, but he decides it could be worse.
Mind the Gap - rebel_raven, rated M
It took a long time for Gavin to feel comfortable with the idea that he wouldn't have to look over his shoulder, that he could be happy with his husband and not have to worry about having that happiness ripped away. He found that reassurance with the Fakes and their steadfast acceptance of him and Ryan, even though they had yet to realize that they were married. It's not even like he and Ryan try to hide it, but, well, no one said that all of their family was smart in the ways of the heart - Jeremy and Matt did serve as witnesses to their court wedding. However, when a threat the couple thought had been long laid to rest reemerges, Gavin suddenly remembers what it's like to have to fight for what he loves.
without a crown (without a doubt) - staranon, rated T
Geoff was born into a line of broken royalty, destined for greatness as his parents demanded him.
But what use is a king without a kingdom to rule? A throne to sit upon? Without a crown to wear?
During his travels, he meets Jack, and it's only then that things start to make sense.
We’ll Talk More - signifier, rated G
The first thing the crew learn about Gavin is that he talks a lot.
He walks into his first meeting, a bright grin on his face and a red bull in his hand, and he talks.
~
‘That’s, huh,’ Ryan clears his throat, ‘you don’t think I look deadly?’
Gavin laughs. ‘I think you look like freshly fallen snow.’
It’s probably the most romantic thing Ryan’s ever heard.
Color Inside The Lines - ExistentialCloud, rated G
Having a soulmate in their line of work is messy, but can be worked with. Having three soulmates is a disaster, which is why Gavin is desperate to keep his life in order.
Pastries and Other Sweet Things - sorcererinslytherin, rated T
Oh god, Jeremy just has the BIGGEST crush on the guy with the sweet tooth that comes in every damn day. It’s a shame Ryan only seems to have eyes for the desserts.
Slowly, Then All at Once, a Dream - writesthrice, rated T
Jeremy Dooley was a good man. He'd never call himself that, of course, but anyone with eyes could see it. He was helpful and kind, always ready with a fond word and dumb joke, bringing in sunshine through every cloudy day.
His Soulmate on the other hand....
Well.
creatures of habit - transvav, unrated
fresh starts in fresh places.
gavin free moves out of england and secures a job at a secret base, hoping to keep his civilian life on track as much as he can.
and then the fakes step in.
grass, fire, void. -
pain is a concept that changes constantly. there is no consistency to it, and there never will be. the pain of inhuman teeth ripping into your skin is not unlike that of your body being ripped from reality itself. the pain of death is absolute bliss. it is the end, and that’s just where ryan woke up after his.
Dancing on Cold Feet, Marching on Cobbled Streets - Anxiety_Induced_Writing, rated T
Sitting in that dirty old room, nearly a decade ago, Jack wasn't sure if he would survive to see the day the man beside him ruled. Sitting there, he wondered how his life would end, how many last smiles, last kisses,he would get. He wondered how he would change, if he would grow cold and malicious as so many others have before, or if he would keep his heart.
Holding Out For A Hero - smittenbritain, rated T
The Fakes are a band of superheroes that protect the streets of Los Santos. Gavin watches over the five of them from his office, using CCTV and tech that he can hack to his advantage. The rest of the crew has no idea that he actually has powers, and that's exactly how Gavin wants it.
That is, until the Fakes get captured and he's the only one left with any firepower.
Of Faeries and Warriors - Thisiswhatmylifehasbecome, unrated
Can a Fae be trusted?
Of promises and misunderstandings - AtrumCorvus, rated T
Since it's their fifth anniversary, Jeremy and Ryan decide to renew their vows and reveal their relationship to the crew. An unexpected death makes things difficult.
we’ll have tomorrow - narvaeztrash, rated T
“You’re gettin’ blood on my carpet,” Ryan complains, but Michael doesn’t respond.
It’s almost standard procedure, by this point. Michael gets himself fucked up, crawls to Ryan’s apartment, and the aforementioned teen fixes him up. Rinse and repeat. It’s a fucked up little system they have, but it works. Besides, it’s not like Gavin possesses the medical skills to prevent Michael bleeding out.
“‘m not,” Michael mutters, and Ryan ignores him.
Behind the Scenes - JustAnotherMadOne, rated T
Rimmy Tim was expanding his territory quite extensively, but it didn't bother the Mad King a great deal nowadays.
Maybe because they were dating.
01:01:28 - Waffle-o, rated T
It's not every day that the time on the clock matches the time on Michael's inner wrist, and it's definitely not every day that he meets his soulmate and has no clue who they are.
And, of course, the only person he winds up befriending has no soulmark at all.
The Cavalry is Here - maxride003, rated T
Ryan and Jeremy get into unknown trouble all the time, and usually get themselves out of it. But when something goes wrong, only Gavin believes they're in any real danger, and it's up to him to get them out before the situation gets worse.
Heist and Seek - by futureboy, rated T
New Year’s is bad enough - it’s never enjoyable to spend a whole evening counting down.
[Or, the Fakes make a team effort to bring together a nice evening for their pilot. Jeremy and Ryan shoulder part of the plan involving a surprising amount of waiting.]
Song As Old As Rhyme - ShadeOfAzmeinya, rated T
Gavin is a Prince. Jeremy is his new personal guard. What could go wrong?
In which Gavin is unsure of his new guard but slowly realizes that any man who loves cats as much as him surely can’t be that bad.
