This journal is for creative exchanges that are done on AO3!

( here's the stuff I exchanged. )

And lo, a placeholder.

It will include DNWs!

Oh, yes. And I wrote this.

Warning that this is MOSTLY a placeholder, it has no details yet! I am doing my signup at work because I'm bad! The content under the cut is uh, identical to last year's.

(Posted this on my main journal, but it feels weird to not have it here even though this is pretty much set up not to be followed and just to be used to post to some comms.)

Four gifts, all of which have been met with incoherent flailing and glee. For two or three of them, I suspect they were created by people I know, but one I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA (and on all other counts I may be wrong).

And the one I have absolutely no idea on is this first one, which is genuine real Forgotten Ages written by someone who is not me or someone from the EE forums of old unless it was actually Sarah all along. Since I think it wasn't ... well. This is my absolute favorite duology and one of my top five fictions overall, and Tikaya/Rias are my OTP of perfection in so many ways, and the only person who offered this or requested it was me, and yet this exists anyway and here it is.

Summary:

Rias and Tikaya receive an invitation to visit the Turgonian Empire.

Next, we have Cat Who Is Secretly A Superhero & Cat Who Is Secretly A Supervillain & Their Oblivious Human Owner!!! Not only did someone write this, but either two people did or the same person wrote for two - I think it is that two people did - I didn't nominate this but I could not stop laughing when I saw it in the tag set, and this story is so perfectly CAT. Like I said in my comment, I wonder how many multiple cat households really have this going on EVERY DAY.

Characters: Original Cat Character(s), Original Female Character(s)
Summary:

The Fluffster knows that Professor Pussypaws is up to no good. Will today be the day he'll stop him?

These two are both Inesser/Miuzan, which was something I tossed out on Discord to suggest someone else nominate, like, at random because I thought it was an interesting concept, and since then fell in love with and requested as well as offered myself. Sadly I wasn't nominated to also write it and didn't have time for treats, but I'm also glad because I don't think anything I wrote could have stood up to this absolutely incredible piece of writing that feels like it belongs in Revenant Gun except for how it brings me hope of good things instead of just bittersweet sadness forever (though tbh the end of RG does that too):

Fandom: Machineries of Empire Series - Yoon Ha Lee
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Inesser/Kel Miuzan (Machineries of Empire - Lee)
Characters: Inesser (Machineries of Empire), Kel Miuzan, Original Alt Character
Additional Tags: Fraternization, Denial, Pining, Failure to appreciate Brezan, Or the courtesan for that matter, Shuos courtesan
Summary:

Miuzan serves someone whose merit is unimpeachable. Someone who occupies command effortlessly. It's evident in the way the general stands, unfurling in one smooth motion, the way a bannermoth spreads its wings and prepares to fire.

Lastly: ART. Look at this art!!! I had kind of a mental image of whta I wanted in fanart for the first time in my life so I was able to say more for a request than "I liek arts" and look, here it is! I wish I knew anything at all about art to be able to leave a comment that was more than HEY THIS IS BEAUTIFUL but. It is. Beautiful. Check it out.
