That was fun. This was a pretty productive year, hopefully things continue to go well in 2026. Cheers (and thanks, muse).

Actually, I want to try my hand at Fengcui, but I need to reread Peerless before taking that on I think. I have a vague idea for a Mtsf Saltedsnake au as well, but we’ll see lol. I am too ambitious with no energy to back it up.

To turn over in my brain, because it requires a lot of untangling aspects of them that are part of their core characteristics vs. what is a product of their canon circumstances, where they’re often pushed to extremes and faced with violence and mistrust at every turn.

Solace → it was very difficult for me to write something short with no clear plot where the narrative relied solely on introspection.
Spring → Filling gaps and gradual development where the characters are just distant strangers and not immediate enemies like in canon. CZ is an interesting ship +

Both Solace and Spring frustrated me at times… Got past it by looking at my calendar and saying, “Oh shit, this is due in a week.”

What’s your favorite fic title of the year?
December 12, 2025 at 1:24 AM
Spiritbox’s Perfect Soul was the only reason I had an idea and a title for the fairytale bang, and Lorna Shore’s Soulless Existence wrote the a large portion of the climax for me. There was a 3 month period where I was listening to Pain Remains almost exclusively hahaha.

Solace at like 2k, Spring at 70k or so. Never written anything under 10k, so that was a battle of conciseness lol.

I’ll lump all of these together because it’s the same answer: A Gift to Summon the Spring. I struggled and questioned it often and I had a blast. I never thought I’d be able to post 70k all at once like that, but it was so satisfying to hit post.
