This is a depressingly short list of stuff that saw the light of the internets this year. However, the total word count of the year is actually much higher because in the autumn

dreamersdare and I fell hard for Stray Kids and have since produced a truly obscene amount of words in several different fics all barring one which are in wip status. I did the tally to the best of my ability and in 2022 I wrote just of 51k of fic, the last ~20k of which are SKZ wips lol. In addition I wrote about the same amount for the 'Kat's Irreverent Readers' Digest' of Wheel of Time Re/Read Book Club over at

tar_valon so... Words were had.

But anyway, traditional summary of stuff that actually got posted.

Create: The final installment of Carpe Diem, little moments on the road with Craig and Bruno :) It's been really nice writing these two again!

Squee: Kat Recs All Fics... but (and this is the Plot Twist!) they are all f/m!

Vast majority of what I read (and write) is m/m. However, I do dapple in other combinations! So in honour of the 'unexpected' I present to thee Ten Het Fic Recs! All in different fandoms, because that's how this Fandom Slut rolls (extremely sluttily!)

Pi'maat Series by sixbeforelunch (OFC/OMC, Star Trek 'verse, DS9 timeline) - This is hands down one of the best things I've read in ages. The series (currently, very much hoping there will be more) is 9 works and 163k. It focuses on the relationship of a Vulcan OFC (T'Lin) and OMC (Veral) who (in traditional Vulcan fashion) have an arranged marriage though the arrangement ends up being not quite traditional or ideal (*cough Ponn Far cough*), their respective, now joint families and the various relationships therein as well. This is an absolute tour de force of world building/expanding/deepening. It is clear that the author has done their research into 'canon' Vulcan culture but for a casual Trek fan like myself or indeed anyone who doesn't know much about Trek at all, this is just an intriguing exploration of alien cultures (no monoculture here! IDIC also on Vulcan!), customs and ways of life. All the characters are well rounded, the relationship development is realistic, and the plot explores the effect of the bigger events (Dominion War, interplanetary organised crime etc) on domestic and personal lives of individuals. I would honestly read more novels of pretty much any of the characters created here, or like Veral's Vulcan Country Doctor Chronicles. Highly recced comfort read that nonetheless provides great insight into... well, I want to say 'the human condition' despite humans only getting an odd mention.

Forward Momentum by sixbeforelunch (Kathryn Janeway/Tuvok, Star Trek: Voyager) - Same author as above, same high quality. Janeway's pov is excellent and the progression of the relationship is mature and logical but not without passion. I would absolutely read more about their future adventures and new professional positions too.

primped and polished till you glow with pride by VagabondDawn (Fa Mulan/Li Shang, Mulan) - One of my favourite Disney movies! This fic is a canon divergence AU where Mulan's father gets a tactical adviser position in the Imperial City and Mulan and Li Shang end up meeting up through a professional matchmaker. I really liked the different povs and how Mulan's unconventional virtues still end up being exactly the ones that Li Shang is looking for in a wife. Beautiful detail to cultural traditions, warm and hopeful.

Command Space by mariadperiad20 (Amy Santiago/Jake Peralta, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) - WIP warning! However, this is already 83k of delicious, delicious bdsm!AU where Jake is a sub with past trauma he's definitely not dealt with and Amy is his inconveniently amazing domme partner who chugs 'respect subs' juice at every meal. Listen, it's femdom, it's slow burn, it's from friends to lovers (at 83k we are still at the 'why would she want a sub like me' stage and I LOVE IT), it's BDSM!AU which you know I fucking love. There is angst and graphic references to past abuse, including sexual abuse, so mind the warnings, but the world building is great, as is Jake's pov. Absolutely delightful.

A Mountain I'm Willing to Die On by Vera (Judy Hopps/Nick Wilde, Zootopia) - Okay, yes, it's literally furry fic but this is one of my favourite animated movies and they definitely knew what they were doing with this adorable bunny/fox pairing, I have no regrets. There is an unsurprising amount of fic for this fandom/pairing, but as I like things slow burn, this is the one I've liked best. There's a plot of getting interspecies pairings accepted, associated hate crimes, becoming housemates, cultural (species!) differences and falling in love. Charming, interesting, not so subtle social commentary, much enjoyed. Also, it's rated M instead E in case that matters to you given the characters... :D

Heart Like a Socket by Kyra (Jessica Day/Nick Miller, The New Girl) - A marriage of convenience! What if, in season 1, Nick's cancer scare had turned out less well and he was suddenly in need of some way to cover a lot of medical bills. Enter Jess and her excellent insurance cover... for spouses. This has everthing you'd want from the premise: angst, slow-burn, hijinks, meddling friends, happy ending. The voices are spot on for everyone so if you enjoyed the show, you'll enjoy this as well.

spring/summer collection by etben (Stevie Budd/David Rose, Schitt's Creek) - This is pre-Patrick (and my poly heart wants it to be post-Patrick too) and it is smoking hot. David wants to see Stevie in his clothes. Because of her terrible fashion sense, you understand. And no other reason, obviously. This is funny and filthy and the character voices are spot on, the (reluctant) care and fun as explicit as the sex here.

Make me lie (when I don't want to) by Dishonestdreams (Evelyn "Evie" Carnahan/Jonathan Carnahan, The Mummy) - As always, DD's writing makes me read things I didn't even consider before. Not that I have any kind of high ground or issues with sibling incest in fic, mind, just that this particular pairing didn't occur to me. This is a masterpiece in... it's not even dialogue so much as verbal warfare/diplomacy/game. The tension of 'shouldn't, can't, won't ever again' is delicious.

A Question of Trust by kereia (Sun Bak/Detective Mun, Sense8) - The degree of respect and adoration Mun has for Sun was one of the best things about these two in the series and it shines through beautifully here. A+ characterisation, action, feelings and hot sex, all in just 8k.

Traveling Far by astolat (Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth, Game of Thrones) - Look, I don't even go here. As in, I have neither read the books nor watched the series, I had to create a tag just for this post. But, it's astolat who is one of those writers I take a lot of risks for and, as usual, this one turned out to be well worth the trust. Anyway, needless to say I don't have the foggiest of what's going on but there's a delightful d/s vibe because Jaime is a captive who is starting to have some very inappropriate and explicit thoughts about his captor and the many ways she could just, you know, take him. Then there's a lot of politics and family drama and yet, in the end, he chooses an unconventional found-family-happy-ever-after with her and they end up giving a big Fuck You We Won to rest of the world. Without knowing much of the back story this was an extremely satisfying read, so my guess is that if you actually know what's happening, you'll enjoy it twice as much.

So my lovely

HanHathma has spoiled me with plenty of art based on my fics. Which obviously is a guaranteed hit with any writer. It is all amazing and deserves to be ogled by others beside me. Please go leave her kudos/love, each thumbnail is a link to the corresponding AO3 post.

Look at this gorgeous, warm and intimate piece for my single Star Wars story i don't want to hear sad songs anymore (Rey/Finn/Poe)

Then there are two lovely Good Omens drawings. This first one (wingsss!!!!) goes with my older fic Reformation (Aziraphale/Crowley)...

...and the second one with my newest fic Lose A Kraken, Gain An Angel (Aziraphale/Crowley) and just oh god look at how grumpy the Kraken is *cuddles it*

Finally, keeping with the theme of wings and tentacles, observe this breathtaking original f/f art for Vlarian Oath. Look how happy they are! Look at Zadra's skiel! All kudos for visualising my vague description :D

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

Being Human UK

Teethe and its continuation Suffer Well - Hal/Tom. Hands up if you thought the werewolf/vampire dynamic mark 2 was as ripe for some slash potential as the mark 1. o/ This is a very, very hot, but more importantly interesting and subtle exploration of that, with both guys perfectly in character. Hal can't drink Tom's blood, which makes him a safe substitute to do... everything else with. Right? The sexual tension in these fics is something else and the otherness, the 'not human' aspect of the the characters comes through loud and clear.

Hawaii Five-0

Tell You What (you're gonna do) - Danny/Steve. I loved the effortless, organic feel of this, and the banter and Danny's internal monologue were just spot on. The sex scene was well balanced between smut and emotional connection, without veering so much on either direction as to leave me bored.

Lord of the Rings

The Paths of the Living - Aragorn/Boromir, Aragorn/Faramir, Aragorn/Boromir/Faramir. Boromis survives the Orc attacks and so Aragorn finds himself with two princes of Ithilien to love. The language is gorgeous and the dynamic between the three men believably developed.

Original Fic

The Heart May be Tiny but the World's Enormous - m/m. Down on his luck goat-thief gets caught in the act by the goat's owner who turns out to be a widowed swordsmith with a young child to look after and a need for a live-in babysitter... This is a wonderful long read, set in a richly drawn world of Imperial China (or something closely reminiscent). Everything is viscerally realistic, from the everyday chores to the characters with their human imperfections to the sex. Highly recced.

Psych

The Closet and Dr Caligari - Gus/Shawn. Oh god, long Gus/Shawn is so rare that I literally squealed from excitement when I stumbled across this 37k fic of awesomeness from an author whom you may recognise from the Life of Mars fandom. This fic reads like a really good episode of the show with a suitably ridiculous case to solve but with a lovely 'from best friends to lovers' development to go with it as both men struggle with their own fears and insecurities. Lovely read, perfectly captures why this pairing is the otp of the show for me.

Sherlock Holmes (2009 movie)

A Perfectly Ordinary Day - Holmes/Watson. A fic about the day that changed everything, a lovely slow pace and attention to detail.

Observations on Sentinels and Guides in Victorian London - Holmes/Watson, AU. Where Holmes is the Prime Alpha Sentinel of London, without a Guide until one war-weary doctor steps out of the ship. The world-building in this is truly fascinating and the fic hits my possessiveness kink in the best way possible. Interesting secondary characters, details of the society and a case to the boot. Great, long and engrossing read.

Silver Light and Shadow - Holmes/Watson, AU. Summer camp AU, after a fumbling teenage teenaged night fiver years ago the boys are back at the camp, this time as counsellors. A charming story.

Sherlock Holmes (book canon)

What’s in a Name? - Holmes/Watson. Holmes does some maneouvering to ensure that Watson returns to Baker Street and finds that the domesticity between takes on a new flavour. A lovely getting together fic with warm comfortable inevitability.

Star Trek (Reboot)

Not All Those Who Wander - Gen. Spock Prime wanders the universe, righting wrongs and being a badass. A certain level of canon knowledge is needed for the whole awesome impact of it, but a true treat to leave any Trekkie grinning.

I slept too long, not because i was tired but because I just didn't want to get up to start doing all the stuff on my list. But! Up now. Have had yesterday's leftovers for breakfast (when you're adult you can eat dinner for breakfast and dessert for dinner and alcohol for dessert... or something like that) and made coffee. Soon, epic house cleaning will commence. But first, as threatened...

The WIP-meme! You know, the one where you post a snippet of your WIPs in a vain effort to kick-start your motivation to finish them. I’ve actually limited this to the ones that I definitely plan on finishing one day.

( 4 Bandom )

( 1 Stargate Atlantis )

( 1 Supernatural )

( 1 Doctor Who )

( 2 Original )

There are others, most notably two SPN Five Times fics that I’m actually really proud of, but just not confident that I’ll ever finish. Plus they’re season 1 and 2 compliant so not sure there would even be an audience for them anymore... This is what laziness gets me.

Anyway! Off to clean the bathroom! Oh the excitement...
