The last two slots are for the fics I had the privilege to write. My first exchange challenge was so fun, it really pushed me as a writer.
For Build Me Up, Buttercup, that manifested in A LOT of research, the first time working with a beta reader (❤️ @exitariel.bsky.social) and a deadline!

Getting to see your favorite writers get all excited about an idea in real time is seriously the best part of fandom....
it's common in sports for bets among fans/players of rival teams in media where the losing party has to wear a jersey of the winning team
anyway. ilya & shane making a public bet while they're still hiding their relationship that when Ottawa and Montreal play, the loser will wear the winning jersey

Not least because I've *been* the kid whose nightmare -- a nightmare I had no plan for responding to, because planning would have involved sustained *thinking* about it happening -- was my parents finding out the truth.

Thinking about how Ilya sees Miles and *spins* around to look for Shane -- he connected those dots so fast. (In my head, he's been mainlining the Rose/Shane celeb gossip coverage, recognizes Miles from it.)
Then Shane sees Marlowe and is immediately scanning the room for Ilya.
