Time to Wrap it Up!

After 68 pieces were submitted to this event, we couldn't just end it with a "Goodbye thanks for playing!" So we decided to break down the hard work of all our participants! Check it out:

Out of 68 fandom works, we saw a total of 15 different main ships!

Of those 68 fandom works, we had 7 fanarts and 61 fics! (Plus 1 surprise ficlet!)

With so many works, the breakdown of ratings was really fun to look at! 44% were Explicit, 22% were Teen, 20% were General, and 13% were rated Mature!

Viewer beware! Over 1/3 of these pieces include sharks!! 25 works mentioned or highlighted sharks at least once!

Out of the whopping 643,864 words written! the word Summer was used 221 times!

We couldn't have imagined a better summer event, and that's thanks to all of you!

Thank you!

Alex, Notchka, Rach, Saturn, Teagan, and Val

your fingerprints on my skin

By:  Saengak | @saengak

For: Lambourn | @lambourngb

Pairing: Tom "Iceman" Kazansky/Pete "Maverick" Mitchell

Rating: M

Word count: 4,587

Summary: Everyone calls them soulmarks—the flush of peachy red that appears on your skin whenever your soulmate touches you. It's supposed to be romantic, how the evidence of your soulmate's little affections linger. The brush of their hand. A kiss.

"Don’t touch me," Ice had snapped in his face, just before the soulmark had painted itself on Pete’s skin.

i can hear it now like i heard it then (c'mon, i dare you)

Pairing: Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw/Jake "Hangman" Seresin

Rating: M

Summary: He and Jake have been many things to each other, from rivals to genuine enemies to tentative friends to lovers. But they’ve never once, in their entire acquaintance, been awkward with one another. Even in those early days of a relationship, when the boundaries between friendship and something more were soft and blurry, Bradley never felt at a loss for words. They fight and they fuck and they whisper embarrassingly soft things and they banter inconsequentially, but they’re never silent. But they’ve never been broken up before.

Summary: Just the summer. No strings. Just until Ice got back on his carrier or Maverick returned to Miramar. Whatever came first. That's what they'd decided.

Pairing: Tom "Iceman" Kazansky/Pete "Maverick" Mitchell

Rating: E

Word count: 3,756

Summary: “A lot of the day is fuzzy. I didn’t–” Ice cuts himself off, shakes his head as if trying to let go of whatever he was going to say before gritting out, “I didn’t say anything embarrassing?”

High on pain meds, Ice confesses his love for Maverick.

Rivalry On A Learning Curve

By: SaintClaire | @saint--claire

For: Earthangel_44 | @yikes-00

Pairing: Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw/Jake "Hangman" Seresin

Rating: E

Word count: 7,057

Summary: A couple of simple definitions:

Rivalry: Competition for the same objective or for superiority in the same field

Archnemesis: One who is hostile to or opposes the purposes or interests of another

Jake thinks about how best to define whatever the fuck it is he's got going on with Bradley. Yep. Definitely the above.
