Fic Round-Up 2023

Compared to the last two years 2023 was a fucking success writing wise. I smashed the 75k [community profile] getyourwordsout goal with the final total of 78k. Not all of that is finished/published so, according to AO3, the total published word count is ~58k

Wow Kat, what's that sound? Well, glad you asked. It's the sound of me SMASHING through my 75k [community profile] getyourwordsout goal! BOOM! We're currently >78k and there's still a day to go.

*smug*

Much of the words came from a) co-writing done with [personal profile] dreamersdare and b) because I churned over 24k for Spooktober fics/ficlets, even if some of that churning happened after Christmas lol. Posting most of them back-to-back was a really interesting experience actually and I have some reflections.

(under the cut, it's all very self indulgent) )


I was always going to do a Spooktober Masterlist for my own amusement. I know I'm about to list all of these for the 2023 Fic Round Up soon (well... Sometime in Jan?) anyway but there everything will be by fandom so let me just induldge my love of lists *pets the list* so, here, Spooktober Fics in posting order (links will take you to AO3 but if you prefer DW for reading, everything is under the spooktober 2023 tag.

List under a cut due to length! )

***

I have signed up [community profile] getyourwordsout again because I love their spreadsheets. I've gone for the 150k optimistically even though I've never achieved that. It's good to have goals or something?

***

Finally, I wanted to flail about being podficced!!

The lovely [archiveofourown.org profile] pezzax_podfics podficced under his wing (TXT, Choi Soobin/Choi Yeonjun) and turned a tiny ficlet into a full-blown audio drama with music and sound effects and it is so, so extremely cool I absolutely lost mine when listening. Also, please appreciate the cover art! (akdkjsj wings!)

The most awesome [archiveofourown.org profile] pieces0fstars podficced Volcano (Stray Kids, Han Jisung/Lee Minho) and holy shit the emotional impact the recording packs... Look, I obviously had a lot of emotions about the concepts which I wrote immediately after the song dropped. But the thing is, I wrote the fic so I knew what was in the fucker and yet, YET, I was absolutely choked up, clutching my heart, because the performance got that exact frayed, desperate edge I tried to convey in words and... Yeah, please listen.

Firstly, surprise: I'm not dead. Just... Work has been absolute bugger and we shall not discuss the number of overtime hours. So, not dead, but just Knackered = haven't had energy to even sign on to DW for weeks and weeks and Weeks. And I miss people and fandom and I miss who I am among my people and fandom here, but it's just been work, eat, sleep with maybe some mindless media consumption in form of tv or fic in between. For the last couple of years I've given up reading fanfic for Lent but this is not the year to do so not even doing that.

Anyway. Making no promised but it may be that I've broken the back of some work things and may be that I will have some energy for actual updates and other posts before summer. Mayyyy  be.

However, in the meanwhile, whilst it's still at least the first quarter of the year...

Leitmotifs of the year:
  • Round Robins fuck yeah! [personal profile] pushkin666, [personal profile] dreamersdare and I had many fangirl vid nights to make up for the loss of originally planned in person ones (though we did manage it in July) and started writing Round Robins to get the creative juices going and it was So Much Fun! Otherwise... New fandoms, old fandoms, all the fandoms?
  • And also Big Fat Nothing in the latter quarter of the year because work got shitty

Most popular story:
By metric of hits and kudos, it's Toss A Bone To Your Witcher. By metric of comments, Fac Mihi Viam, which also comes close second with hits and kudos. First I kind of understand because Witcher fandom is still indiscriminately thirsty. The second was the unexpected runaway success of the year. It's older fandom, it's gen... Would not have bet on this story to get the attention it did.

My best story this year:

But I love all my children? Okay, okay, Fac Mihi Viam I am actually pleased with because of the it manages to handle the subject matter with some subtlety. i have my reasons (call it my defense) delivers the atmosphere and impact. now i lay me down to sleep delivers... something. Ugh. Weirdness?

Hardest story to write:
let me hear your body talk but only because of the research element. I spent a lot of time watching muya Thai videos on youtube and googling yoga poses.

Easiest story to write:
Idk... Maybe the round robins because they were just fun things done in short bits and no one cared about plot that much. I also remember being kinda inspired for shine a light (burn it bright) because [personal profile] dreamersdare's story demanded more.

Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion:

now i lay me down to sleep? To be fair, I wouldn't click on it either, being as it is 500 words of weird gen dreamscape psychological horror.

Most fun story to write:
talk's cheap and so's your mouth because I really enjoy Jayne's voice. Oh and Toss A Bone To Your Witcher (no, I do not accept any criticism on the title) because Jaskier's pov turned out to be fun too. Oh, Retrogression because Deadpool! And actually, all the round robin ficlets because they involved [personal profile] pushkin666  and [personal profile] dreamersdare 

Fluffiest story:
Hmmm...?? A lot of my ficlets tended toward fluff. Sun Crown and bright my hopes, and soft are both about flowers and feelings. Smudge, revolución del corazón, Shelter and gotta have faith all offer sweet relationship moments. Of the longer ones, the reason comes on the common tongue (of you loving me) brings the slowburn friends to lovers romance of maybe not fluff per se but feelings. Oh, oh your scent on me (for many days) has clothes sharing! That's the winner!

Most angsty story:
Idk... Liminal? Because Remus is kind of Like That. Realignment has some h/c but not really angst... Fac Mihi Viam deals with Harry's less that nurturing upbringing though not explicitly but assuming events proceed as canon it casts whole layer of angst to the thing so...

Sexiest story:
restraint (release), also affectionately known as Absolute Filth. It's 6k of edging, oral fixation and every fantasy scenario for the pairing I could shove in there and it is, well, Absolutely Filthy. You're welcome. let me hear your body talk brings the prolonged sexual tension though so if you like your edging more emotional, that's the one for you...

"Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story:
I don't know why I keep this question in... I didn't really write anything particularly outrageous this year. Incest, explicit sex, demons, dystopian themes, nightmares, dark fey all featured. Eh.

Biggest Disappointment:
Not finishing my Get Your Words Out target and not finishing my auction fics. This academic year has been the Absolute Worst I've ever experienced in terms of of issues and workloads, to say nothing of the continued remote working which brings its own challenges. Sep-Dec was mostly a wash when it came to creativity because I was just too exhausted to string a sentence together, quite literally some days. So far this year hasn't been much better either... Sigh.

Biggest Surprise:
Fac Mihi Viam because of the reasons explained above. Did not expect it to make much of an impression but apparently it did. i have my reasons (call it my defense) has a stupid hit count for something is just a little ficlet but apparently BFU fandom are still horny for demon!Shane so...

Most Unintentionally Telling Story:
I mean... I'm not exactly subtle about my kinks... Beyond that, I don't think I wrote anything this year that was particularly, idk, revealing. Professional knowledge was used in some fics to a certain degree. Kinks were indulged.

Story I haven't yet written, but intend/hope to:
Just want to have the creative energy to write something, honestly. I have wips on the go and ideas but I just don't know when/how I'm going to claw back the time and mental fortitude.

Details on all my requests below...
HINT: This also works as a Christmas/birthday/cheer Kat up list. You know, in case you were hoping to find such a thing :D:D:D

Dear Femdom Exchange Artist/Author,

I'm excited to have you creating something for me. I've provided some brief notes for each of the fandoms/pairings below, with a general likes and hard limits list right at the end. Most of it is more directly relevant to fanfic but I'm hoping it will be adaptable for fanart also if that's the way you're going.

Harry Potter: Hermione Granger doms Harry Potter & Ron Weasley
Yep, like the OT3 here a lot, maybe with some domestic poly feels, maybe with Hermione and Ron as established couple slowly taking Harry into their dynamic and relationship. Also, I bet Hermione's tendency for research would totally extend to being the best domme and she'd read something and then want to try it out on her boys. Sex magic obvs! 

Atomic Blonde: Lorraine Broughton doms Delphine Lasalle, Lorraine Broughton doms David Percival
Really loved this movie, and really wanted Delphine to survive and be waiting for Lorraine in that plane in the end. So a happy ending there would be nice, but fuck yes I will take hot, sweaty club sex too. I mean, that's kind of canon. And with David, there's a man who really needs to have the smug smacked out of him. He would push for edge play and he might get more than he can chew...

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters: Gretel doms Hansel
So excited to see this as an option! The co-dependent dynamic is so interesting and fraught with things unsaid. Would love some first time fic here with kneeling and finger-sucking and Hansel being undone by Gretel's magic. 

MCU: Natasha Romanov doms Sam Wilson, Pepper Potts doms Tony Stark
BDSM AU? If you manage that with either of these pairings, I will be over the moon. I like Sam as being bashful and slowly courting Nat, not so sure of what a woman like her would see in someone like him but going for it anyway, very service orientated (from cooking to battle back-up). Tony needs a firm hand as much as he needs praise and kindness and Pepper swore she was never going to give into providing that even though she knows Tony wants it, even though she wants it too, but want is nothing, want can be ignored. Love, on the other hand... Yeah, yeah, I'm sappy about them :D

Original Work: Female Librarian doms Male Noisy Patron, Female Hedge Witch doms Female Technomancer, Female Archivist doms Female Librarian, Alien Warlord doms Alien of Other Species sent to her as tribute, Princess doms Loyal Male Knight, Half-Dragon Monster Girl doms Female Adventurer, Female Witch doms Male Werewolf Who Owes Her A Life Debt, Female Witch doms Male Witchfinder, Female Alien doms Female Human Starship Officer
Haha, so I was very entertained by the breadth of depravity imagination evidenced by the orginal work tagset and chose the ones that intrigued me most. Go wild here based on my general likes and dislikes!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Amy Santiago doms Jake Peralta, Rosa Diaz doms Adrian Pimento
Okay, ngl, would love a BDSM AU setting here too. But regardless, Amy and Jake are one of my favourite canon couples. I love how genuinely excited and turned on Jake is about Amy's organisational skills and attention to detail and knowledge about the geekiest things. Rules, okay. Jake's never really had them and I bet he both loves and hates and loves having them now, something maybe where he is trying very hard to be a good boy and obey Amy's rules (whatever those may be...). Rosa and Adrian were an absolute trashfire of a couple that still somehow worked. How do you do d/s when you are both completely unpredictable and thrive on chaos and danger? Something that explores that would be awesome. 

Firefly: River Tam doms Simon Tam, Zoë Washburne doms Wash Washburne
The Tam siblings are Fucked Up and I love it. Co-dependence galore. Simon would lay down his life for his sister. River would lay down everyone else's life for her brother. And okay, that scene with the hand-feeding of berries? You know the one I mean. Reader, I died a little. Do something with that maybe? Wash is the happiest sub in all of 'verse! Happy to please, happy to serve, happy to fuck, happy to drive ships... Did not expect to be the kind of sub someone like Zoë would be even a little interested in but turns out he's also the luckiest sub in all of 'verse so... Just happy, happy times here please!

Star Trek: Discovery: L'Rell doms Voq, Sylvia Tilly doms Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po, Michael Burnham doms Ash Tyler | Voq
God damn, L'Rell and her dynamic with Voq | Ash Tyler was one of my favourite things about the series. I know the tags don't say the Ash Tyler part (I missed the nominations, otherwise it so would) but if you are so inclined, I'd love the exploration of that as well. I still can't quite believe the show went there with it (those flashback scenes? Not what I ever expected to see outside of actual porn...) but I'm so glad it did. So exploration of the psychological mess of the whole thing and/or gradual settlement for something more lasting. I was genuinely disappointed they couldn't form the kind of partnership/family unit they in the end committed to before the whole fallout with their son. Michael then with Ash | Voq... Also interesting. Think there's a need in him now, something awakened by his transformation at the hands of L'Rell and he needs someone safe who can handle that, and Michael would be it. Sylvia and Po are just super cute together :D Also, I'm very fond of when the soft sunshine one is the domme even though you wouldn't necessarily expect it. Interspecies cultural shenanigans and friendship and horny young ladies!

Star Trek: Voyager: Kathryn Janeway doms Chakotay
Yeah I shipped it. It's the 'loyalty to one's queen captain' thing that gets me here. Loyalty, service, sacrifice...


***
 
General likes: from friends to lovers, UST, first times, food and cooking, 'slice of life' fics, banter, bdsm/power dynamics is obviously given that this is Femdom Exchange but my preference is for that to not jut be about sex (super bonus points for bdsm!AU), competency, unexpected skills, hurt/comfort, creature AU (werewolves, vampires, magic etc are fine as long as they are known, I like to see world building around that sort of thing), music, poetry, epistolary fic. Specific kink/sex related things that are welcome: edging, orgasm delay/denial, chastity, service, kneeling, oral sex, forced orgasm, sex toys, bondage, begging, pegging/strap-ons, breath play, fingers (in mouth, elsewhere...), hair pulling, impact play (from otk spanking to whips), praise kink, obedience, face slapping, responsible knife play, rules and high protocol, marking (bruises, scratches)
 
Hard limits/DNWs: use of 'cum' instead of come, lactation/pregnancy kink/anything to do with birth or breeding, mommy kink, mpreg, death fic, unhappy endings, adultery, non-con, medical play (so no speculums or the like), sounding/urethra play, scat/diapers, enemas, feeding (as a kink to specifically fatten someone up, hand-feeding and general 'I like to cook you food because I love you' feeding is more than okay!), vomit, gigantism, high school AU, underage, age play/infantilism, vore, bestiality or any animal cruelty, gore, degradation, permanent injury, gaping, fisting, castration, full face mask, dehumanisation, dollification, mummification, extreme body modification/mutilation

I'll do an actual update, and also the proper Fic Round UP meme in a few days... But for now, have this, and have my good wishes for NY.


First Lines of 2018 Fics

(in order of posting)

"Your bodyguard is very... smiley."
(Unguarded, Mission: Impossible movies, Will/Ethan)

The third time Illya wakes up next to Napoleon Solo – both of them naked, limbs tangled together under the sheets – is the first time he doesn't simply run. (The Third Time, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 2015, Illya/Napoleon)

Newt is an ocean away, deep in the Schwarzwald and practicing both his German and his diplomatic skills with a local werewolf pack, when Jacob shows up. (Simple Things, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Jacob/Newt)

"Here," the Doctor said, offering his coat. (Practical Solution, Doctor Who, Tenth Doctor/The Master (Simm))

"This is ridiculous," Nick says. (Part of the Role Description, Primeval, Nick/Stephen)

"Well, this is uncharacteristically nice of you, Clint," Natasha said, wiping sweat off her brow with a back of one hand while the other was keeping the weapon trained on the guys scattered across the floor. (Other Senses, MCU, Clint/Natasha)

He starts sleeping under her bed when they start affording to stay in places with actual beds.
(keep you close, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Gretel/Hansel)

When Finn wakes up, there are five people standing around his bed. (i don't want to hear sad songs anymore, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, Finn/Poe/Rey)

Jim wakes up without his tentacles on a Wednesday. (Not Only for Emergencies, Star Trek AOS, Kirk/McCoy)

Ray hugs a lot. (Tactile Language, due South, Fraser/RayK)

At the start, Patrick tells himself not to feel like he’s responsible, that just because he’s a few years older and a few centuries wiser doesn’t mean he’s got some obligation. (put another dime in the jukebox, baby, Bandom, Patrick/Pete)

She should hate the forest, for all it’s taken; her parents, her childhood, her brother’s health. (broke off a dark twig, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Gretel/Hansel)

Gerard thinks in colour and drinks sunrises like cheap vodka, both of them going out of fashion, just like him.
(Character Sketch: Gerard Way, Bandom, Gerard)

He's used to it, everyone getting him wrong, everyone thinking they got him sussed. (Character Sketch: Brendon Urie, Bandom, Brendon

Everything Gabe does is for his family, and his family is everyone he touches, meets, knows about, everyone, everyone, everyone, he wants them all, safe and sound and his. (Character Sketch: Gabe Saporta, Bandom, Gabe)

He looks back and knows the weight of every decision he ever made, sees the shape of each path travelled, each road abandoned, feels it like an ache in his body, muscles twitching with phantom pain of life never lived. (Character Sketch: Bruno Tonioli, Strictly Come Dancing RPF, Bruno)

Everything has a place and position and purpose. (Character Sketch: Harold Finch, Person Interest, Harold)

In the end it boils down to this: his hands on the wheel, dried blood under his fingernails, Sam asleep on the passenger seat and the road disappearing mile by mile by memory. (Character Sketch: Dean Winchester, Supernatural, Dean)

The hunger opens in him like a fistful of knives, old and unforgiving. (Character Sketch: John Mitchell, Being Human, Mitchell)

The next time comes around much quicker than Will expected. (I’m Your Man, Mission: Impossible movies, Will/Ethan)

Autumn in Manchester is grey and full of misery that seeps into people’s bones, making them hunch up against the wind and the rain. (The Year of the Scavenger, Life on Mars, Gene/Sam & Chris/Sam)

Bodie’s world falls apart in April.
(in bloom, The Professionals, Bodie/Doyle)

Robbie can’t stop staring. (Summer Wine, Lewis, Hathaway/Lewis)

“You’re joking,” Hathaway says flatly even though the growing pile of clothes on the ground strongly indicates otherwise.
(Skinny-Dipping, Lewis, Hathaway/Lewis)

James wakes up sweating, sheets tangled around his limbs, sticking to his skin unpleasantly. (Morning After, Lewis, Hathaway/Lewis)

It’s not the dark that bothers her.
(the heat that drives the light, Harry Potter, Luna)

Bella has a house and a (beautiful, fantastic, demanding) garden. (Make Your Own, The Beautiful Fantastic, Bella/Vernon/Billy)

Title: broke off a dark twig
Author: Mistress Kat / [personal profile] kat_lair
Fandom: Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
Pairing: Hansel/Gretel
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 18,731
Warnings: Sibling incest, canon typical violence
Disclaimer: Not mine, just playing.

Summary: It's true what they say: In the end, you can't run from yourself. There’s magic in their blood and slowly Gretel is discovering what it means to harness it, to use it to fight. And to protect. In the meanwhile, Hansel finds out just what it means to witness his sister's power first hand, to feel it race across his skin like lightning, blowing away every line the two of them have spent a lifetime drawing.

Author notes: This is a fic I’ve been thinking about for a long time and it started with a prompt ‘a kiss of shadows’ from [personal profile] pushkin666 ages ago. It actually became a real fic for this year’s [community profile] smallfandombang . Thank you to [personal profile] sandy79 for the gorgeous art I got. This was the first time I actually wrote something for this challenge and got art rather than just make it, and it was such a treat! A million thanks to [personal profile] dreamersdare who betaed this sick and feverish. The fic title is from Lost In The Forest by Pablo Neruda.

Stuck on sex scenes. On two fics.

Like, I have 18k of the [community profile] smallfandombang  Hansel/Gretel the Incestuous Witch Hunters fic and now they just need to fuck on that forest floor ughhhh otherwise it's done, everything else asjklfsjwejiow

I also have 24.5k of the switchy Will/Ethan Mission Impossible ridiculousness and again, ffs get your cocks out boys and stop. talking.

Why is this so hard? Pun intended.

Last day of the year. Last night I was out dancing and drinking with mum and T, one of my oldest friends. Today there is my aunt's birthday, visiting dad, and then seeing the NY in with T, mum and mum's partner. There may be more drinking. There may be writing the hit song of 2018 (T and I have written songs before and she's bringing her guitar).

In the meanwhile, I wish you all awesome 2018. Here's my Fic & Art Round-Up for this year, in case you get bored and fancy something to read.
