This was a big year for FTH -- our tenth auction, and a big year in one other important way, too.
This year, we've got two big numbers to announce.
This year, thousands (yes, thousands!) of us showed up to share our time, talents and goodwill with one another and raise some money for our most vulnerable neighbors and the organizations that support them. Together, we supported the fights for trans rights, for immigrant rights, and for the rights of the disabled; we helped fund local journalism and local clean-energy advocacy; we helped feed the hungry, in Gaza and in our own neighborhoods around the world; and so much more.
Together, we raised....
...
(drumroll please)
...
Warning: Fabulously glittery number incoming!
...
...
But that's not all.
We knew there was no way we'd quite match last year's annual total -- everybody was motivated the recent election, and the damage of the new presidential admin was still in its early ramp-up. Still, we were hoping that enough folks would show up for FTH 2026 that we could raise a combined ~$70K, and push us to a major ten-year fundraising milestone.
As you can see, we blew way, way past that this year.
That brings FTH's ten-year fundraising total to:
That's right, over the past decade, as a community we have generated over HALF A MILLION DOLLARS in donations to progressive nonprofits!!
Yes, actually. We triple checked. Holy shit?!
Below you'll find the breakdown of how this year's donations were distributed across different organizations (this breakdown doesn’t include employer match donations, which is why the total is a little lower):
Advocates for Trans Equality - $17,313.86
Disability Law United - $4,019.01
Environmental Integrity Project - $4,049
Fight for the Future Education Fund - $3,388
Freedom to Read Foundation - $8,689.54
Gaza Soup Kitchen - $20,362
Global Project Against Hate and Extremism - $5,306.27
Greenlight America - $2,732
In Our Own Voice - $3,052
National Immigrant Justice Center - $16,675.24
Never Again Action - $5,452
Open Secrets - $2,706
Vote Beat - $2,067
Other organizations: - $1,548
Umbrella: anti-poverty direct aid orgs
Echo Food Bank - $1,623
Madison Countians Allied Against Poverty - $293.43
Peninsula Poverty Response - $772
Sisters PGH - $1,653
St. Louis Park Emergency Program - $565
Womens Daytime Drop-in Center - $910
Other anti-poverty direct aid orgs - $4,266.17
So what's next?
Now is a great time to follow the @fth2026fanworks account. We'll use that blog to share any auction fanwork that gets posted to tumblr.
We urge you to keep up with the organizations you supported this year (and the others on our list!) Follow them on social media, subscribe to their newsletters, whatever works best for you. It will enable you to keep an eye on the good work you’ve helped support, and to find out quickly when these orgs need some extra help, financial or otherwise.
And if you’re looking out at the world and feeling the itch to do more, here are some possibilities:
Follow @fthaction, the meatspace activism wing of FTH. We relaunched FTHA last year with some reading lists, an individualized activism bingo card, a couple of AMAs with some talented organizers and activists on our dedicated FTHA discord server, and some stories from folks on tumblr, talking about how they themselves got more politically active. We're still figuring out the best and most useful things we can do this with project, but we'd love your thoughts and we hope you'll join us for the ride, on tumblr or on our discord server (linked above) or both.
Organize your own auction! We’ve put together a detailed playbook that contains as much information and as many resources as we can provide for getting an auction off the ground, including detailed guides. Almost everything in the playbook is fully public; there are a few forms that are access-locked because google has stupid ideas about sharing forms, but we’re happy to give you access to those, too: just drop us an email.
As usual, we the mods are pretty wiped out and will need to take some time away from our screens to recuperate. But also as usual, it's completely worth the effort. We're so deeply inspired by what we've accomplished together, and by all of y'all who keep showing up, year after year, to be lights for one another in dark times. We'll see you again next year.
You have just under 3 hours left to get your bids in - bidding closes at 8pm EST!
Even if a bidding form is open later than that (many will be, it takes a while to close them all), any bid that registers with a timestamp later than 8:00:05 EST will not be considered valid.
We know how hard it is to browse EVERY auction, especially with over 1600 on offer this year. As we approach the final day of the auction, we’re opening up the ’golden needle’ tag.
This features all auctions that are looking for their first bidder - that could be you!
So take a look at what’s on offer, and if you're still searching for something to bid on, now is the time to get some golden needles in our very large haystack.
Remember to combine the tag with your chosen fandom using our tag searching tips to find the golden needles in your fandoms.

We're excited to be back for another round, and we hope you are too! After all, the world needs us more than ever: our donations, our community care, and our joyful and inspiring fanworks. We need one another right now, and FTH is a great way to make that happen.
Yes, time once again to begin ramping up for our annual auction! This will be our tenth (!!!) year of mobilizing the power of fandom to make donations to vital progressive causes.
It's been a difficult year -- most of us are worn down and scared. But there have been some things worth celebrating, too. SCOTUS might be selling us out, but lower courts are consistently ruling against the Trump administration, throwing up meaningful roadblocks to his agenda and vendettas. In both New York City and Seattle, committed on-the-ground organizing helped two progressive mayoral candidates to victory, opening up new possibilities for those cities and inspiring progressives around the world. And all across the US -- especially in those cities that faced targeted violence from the government -- people stepped up to take care of their neighbors: with courage, love, community spirit, and in some cases a good dash of silliness.
In other words: it's not over yet. Not even close. We can't fix it by ourselves, but we can show up to support others who are doing the work, and show up for one another at the same time.
We'll be announcing the FTH 2026 auction calendar and supported orgs list soon. In the meantime, if there's a fandom you think we should be adding to our signup sheet this year, let us know in replies! (Yes, we have already added KPop Demon Hunters and Heated Rivalry.) As always, you'll be able to sign up in literally any fandom you want, but being listed in the dropdown menu makes the logistics of signing up a little smoother.

I regret to report that none of this is likely to be anything that anybody here actually wants, but here are a handful of bits and pieces that I think are all from 2025(?).
--------------------
Stuff I probably will not finish:
Shadow Boxing [a.k.a. tierfal tries to figure out bkdk but not for very long]:
Izuku’s thoughts have always expanded organically—more like a thicket of vines than a spiderweb, but a bit of each. One twist unfurls into another, and maybe from the outside it never seems like there’s much order to it, but it really does all make sense. Ideas branch and part and twine again. Everything is interrelated, and integrated, and if you just follow the trail of cascading notions for long enough, you’ll find something.
--------------------
Stuff I will finish:
beefcake, interrupted [a.k.a. Invisible Enji AU that ate my brain when I was ALMOST done with Wingbeats]:
You know how sometimes when you reach for information in your mind, you know it’s there, but you can barely graze your fingers against the edge of it? And the shape seems fuzzy, and you can’t get a grip, and you’re squinting at shadows that won’t come to the surface?
It’s still there, but fumbling for it is frustrating, and you can’t see it clear enough to grab on tighter, and every time you stretch out, it slips away.
And you start to think—hell, it’s not worth it.
If it matters, it’ll come back.
If it’s important, I’ll remember.
So you let go.
That’s how Endeavor disappeared.
————
Quitter Talk [a.k.a. curses, like chickens prequel 1 of 3]:
“What do you know about me?” Enji Todoroki says.
Makoto knows that loss wears a thousand faces, but all of them have teeth.
Makoto knows that the man in front of him has run out of places to hide.
“I saw the video and the press conference,” Makoto says. “And I read your Wikipedia page.”
--------------------
Stuff that is done but can't get posted until I finish the above:
blooming forth [a.k.a. curses, like chickens prequel 3 of 3]:
He’s a perfect baby.
He’s got a shock of pale hair and huge gray-green eyes and a very pink, squished-up button nose. He has ten tiny fingers and ten tinier toes, and his lungs work, and his mouth works, and his heart beats swift but strong. He blinks, he breathes, and he didn’t kill his mother on his way out.
Natsuo is a wreck, though.
Rei isn’t too surprised.
--------------------
Stuff that's posted and complete!
Shots Fired [here u go]:
“Your logic isn’t sound,” Enji says.
It’s the most damning condemnation he can think of, but Hawks just laughs.
--------------------
Stuff that's posted and incomplete and going to be at least 225,000 words when I finish up the last bit, god help me:
Wingbeats [here u go for chapter one, a.k.a. the most divorced dad Enji Todoroki I am capable of and Shouto has never been sassier and I accidentally fell in love with pro hero Touya and bro there is SO MUCH OF THIS FIC 😂]
It takes Enji eight seconds to get tired of Burnin scowling at him from the seat beside him at the otherwise empty conference room table.
“Out with it,” he says.
The scowl deepens, but he knows she won’t equivocate.
--------------------
I don't even know who is around these parts these days because I am not around these parts these days, but please take this as permission to do this if you want to. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Fanart of Betray the Moon by @tierfal which has posessed my heart and soul recently.
-
“You know,” Roy says. He holds his hands up on either side of his head, fingers spread, and presses the tips of his thumbs to his temples to make a very, very poor pantomime of antlers.
He wiggles his fingers.
“I know,” Ed chokes out, “what a fucking moose is, Roy, I meant—”
Friends, this has been an extraordinary year for the auction. We know how and why this happened: like in early 2017, everyone is scared and upset and looking for a way to do something meaningful.
And—just like in 2017, and every year since—hundreds of us have stepped up to support our most vulnerable neighbors and the organizations working to protect them.
Except this year, we did it on a scale we've never done before.
Last year, our donation total was an incredible $67,776.28
This year's donation total...
are you ready for it....
(you're not ready for it. we weren't.)
This year's donation total is:
Yes, you're reading that right. $127,204.11
We're flummoxed too—and deeply grateful to everyone who has poured their time and effort and money and love into participating in the auction this year, and into the fanworks that will come from it.
If you're curious about how those donations were distributed across the different organizations, here is the breakdown (this breakdown doesn't include employer match donations, which is why the total is a little lower):
Bellingcat: $2,636.19
Congo Leadership Initiative: $2,842
Crips for esims for Gaza: $4,762.60
Disability Law United: $3,835.39
Environmental Integrity Project: $3,712
Fight for the Future Education Fund: $3,108
Freedom to Read Foundation: $7,139.50
Global Project Against Hate and Extremism: $6,473
Hope for Ukraine: $12,613.93
In Our Own Voice: National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda: $3,626
Middle East Children's Alliance: $13,572.43
National Network to End Domestic Violence: $4,999.95
Never Again Action: $4,555
News Literacy Project: $3,745.16
Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights: $10,072.56
Umbrella: organizations serving vulnerable LGBTQ people
Brave Space Alliance: $2,558
Kentucky Health Justice Network Inc: $2,636
Sherlock's Homes: $7,780.77
TransFamily Support: $5,387.01
TransQueerPueblo: $2,949
Other local LGBT organizations: $10,696.71
Yes, you're reading that right again. Three orgs AND the cumulative Other local LGBT orgs broke five figures.
We're especially delighted because, for the first time, the umbrella category worked the way we've always hoped it would! As you can see above, significant numbers of people used the umbrella category as a way to connect to an organization local to them.
As we learned through people's comments on the donation form, some people donated to organizations they were already familiar with (and in some cases had already donated to, or even volunteered at); others used this as a reason to learn more about their local organization and support them.
We'll share more about the "other umbrella" donations over the next few weeks—some more detailed stats, as well as the names of some of the local orgs that people donated to—and we'll invite those of you who connected up with local orgs to share your stories. We love that so many people took this chance to support groups working in their own community, and we hope that we can keep that going next year and beyond!
And speaking of the future!
Now is a great time to follow @fth2025fanworks. We'll use that blog to share any auction fanwork that gets posted to tumblr.
We urge you to keep up with the organizations you supported this year (and the others on our list!) Follow them on social media, subscribe to their newsletters, whatever works best for you. It will enable you to keep an eye on the good work you've helped support, and to find out quickly when these orgs need some extra support, financial or otherwise.
And if you're looking out at the world and feeling the itch to do more, here are some possibilities:
Follow @fthaction, the meatspace activism wing of FTH. We relaunched this project in the weeks between the end of signups and the beginning of browsing period, sharing some reading lists, an individualized activism bingo card, and an AMA with activist and organizer Kat Calvin. (We also did a test-flight AMA with ourselves, talking about the auction.) We'll probably need some time to recover from this year's auction, but we'll be back soon with more resources to share, more AMAs, and more tools for exploring all the different forms that meaningful activism can take and for figuring out which ones are right for you.
Organize your own auction! We've put together a detailed playbook that contains that contains as much information and as many resources as we can provide for getting an auction off the ground, including detailed guides. Almost everything in the playbook is fully public; there are a few forms that are access-locked because google has stupid ideas about sharing forms, but we're happy to give you access to those, too: just drop us an email.
Over here at FTH headquarters we are all in need of a long nap. But we'll be back in a couple of weeks, as promised, to share more about the umbrella orgs and to dig back into @fthaction to see what's possible.
Looking forward to a whole bunch of new fanworks!
<3 your FTH mods
The Rite Stuff (+ sequel Spell it Out) by @tierfal
This is part of a big group of Fullmetal Alchemist fanbinds I undertook in late 2024 and finished in February 2025 to send to the author.
The story is a magical AU in which Edward is a witch and Roy a vampire (Alphonse is a cursed shapeshifter who prefers to be a cat).
This design is absolutely one of my favorite covers I've ever done. The painting is "Cottage on Fire at Night" by Joseph Wright of Derby (c. 1785) and the design is inspired by an assortment of vintage gothic romance paperbacks (the kind with women in diaphanous gowns running in front of a castle, you know the ones). The title font, ITC Benguiat, is typical of dark, pulpy paperbacks of the 1980s, including a lot of the original covers for Stephen King novels.
Find these fics on Ao3 here: https://archiveofourown.org/series/3909985
Find the rest of my Tierfal binds here.
Images of the interior below the cut.
This typeset, like the exterior, is intended to mimic vintage paperbacks. Body text is EB Garamond, which was a popular choice in old fiction publishing—at least based on the vintage paperbacks in my own collection.
Cannot, in fact, describe what it's like to hold these in my hands, but the fantastic photos give you an idea.
If you like this one, wait until you see that @besidekick has a Tierfal Collection tag going for the INCREDIBLE wealth of fanbinds they did of my fics. 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Bidding closes in a couple hours! Don't miss your chance to support an amazing charity and also make me ur fic bitch 💙
P.S. A sequel to an existing fic is on the table, as is finishing an existing one (as long as it's not outside of the 5-10K range. which is. complicated. but. we can talk about it!)
