So I joined the @sandersidesbigbang here’s my piece from @blazethecheeto’s Fic Sanders Sythes ( you should check it out )
“He laughed maniacally, growing more and more insane as the fire spread onto his neighbors’ houses.”
Id was done by @talking4the1
Warning for ||implied person being burned alive||
[ID] Digital drawing of orange side cackling with laughter. He is in the forefront laughing so wide there are sharp teeth showing. His face is turned away and partially covered by his hand. He has short brown hair and tanned skin. He is wearing a robe that has a white collar and a purple gem. He is wearing a black capelet and a long flowing orange and yellow robe that seems to consume the drawing as if it were fire. The edges of the drawing are gray as if it's smoke coming off of the robe, and in the left bottom corner a black hand is illuminated by light emanating from Orange. The hand can be seen reaching up as if someone is being burned alive by the flames. The background is dark blue and the night sky can be seen, as well as some white columns.

In a utopian world where humanity has conquered natural death, the only way to end life is by gleaning. Specially-selected people known as Scythes are chosen to end life around the world to control the population, and it is not a job to be taken lightly. The Scythedom prides itself on its morality, its ethics, and empathy in order for them to be able to kill, and kill without bias or malice.
It was a perfect system.
Of course, there is no such thing as a perfect world, especially when lives are involved. When a rogue assassin wearing orange goes on a killing spree, not even the Thunderhead, the omnipotent AI that governs the world, can stop them. And thus, a team is born.
Two infamous Scythe twins are known for their more creative ways of taking life. Another has taken it upon himself to glean the Scythes who get too cocky, known only as Scythe Lucifer. One gleans with kindness and sympathy. One with apathy and logic. And at the center of it all, the mysterious and cunning High Blade, who has orchestrated the mission to stop the 'Orange Scythe' by any means necessary.
When this unlikely team bands together, they face Scythe corruption and the hard truth:
Living in a perfect world comes at a heavy price.

Summary: "Now wait a minute Virgil, let's just try a rehearsal with Roman. Just once. If you hate it, you don't have to do it ever again,' Patton reasoned.
"There is no way in hell I am doing anything with Roman Prince."
Logan adjusted his clipboard. "Why do you feel the need to say his whole name every time?"
"That's beside the point!"
Roman threw his hands up exasperatedly. Virgil waved him off, deciding to ignore him. There was no way this was worse for him than it was for Virgil.
"Just once," Thomas said. "Just one run through the show."
Virgil sighed. He pinched his nose. "Fine. Once."

A college + community theater au where Virgil is bullied into joining a community theater by his roommate, Patton, and forced into an unlikely friendship with his sworn enemy.

This fic was written for the @sandersidesbigbang ! I had a ton of fun with this event and got the opportunity to work with two amazing people!
@loganisanobody was my beta reader and artist. This fic would not be the same without their help with the storyline and I can’t thank them enough for their beautiful art.
@zombiesandbells was my artist. She is so talented her art absolutely blew me away. I think it beautifully captures the scene and gives so much personality to it.
Thank you to both of my partners and the amazing people running this event! I can’t wait to participate again next time.

We want to first apologize for the lack of communication this year, all the mods got swamped with life events that kept us from giving this event the attention it deserves. After a long consideration, we decided to take a hiatus this year. Next year, we're going to keep a similar schedule we've had in the past, with sign ups opening March-April in 2026.
We appreciate everyone who's signed up for our event year after year, and we hope to see y'all and new faces this next year.
