Let's talk of graves, of worms and epitaphs

Day 8

In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created.

Might as well continue with the challenge. Day 9 is An Act of Kindness, but I think I'll get there once I've been to the fannish wish list stuff. This is totally not so I can get to my secretly favourite challenge faster. (After all, I could have done it when I saw it two days ago, but as I said, I didn't think I'd be doing the challenge this year.

As always, I'll be limiting myself to fic from last year, since you're all probably sick of hearing me self-rec my Gintama fic The Chrysanthemum Vow every year. (At this point idek if it's even a good read anymore, I just have fond, nostalgic feelings.) I'm also limiting myself to finished fic, over 1k, and from Harley's POV. Otherwise my pool is too vast.

( Self-recs ahoy! )

Can someone please give me some kind words on my latest chapter of Fingers to the head? I know it's cheating when I ask for it, but I don't wanna keep rewriting it because I worry it doesn't work at all.

Not going to post anything more for the rest of the month, so I might as well get this out of the way before I forget. (By the by, this week I noticed that I've written 172k with Harley as a main character. Crazy, right?)

Day 9

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

It's funny. I have over 400 fics on AO3, but there's only a handful I might consider reccing. Most of them I've recced in previous years. (The Chrysanthemum Vow is my go-to fic rec, because although it's four years old, I haven't done any better yet.) Anyway, things from 2017:


1. I wear these scars, I own these mistakes: Kavinsky, Ronan/Adam (The Raven cycle, T; 2,733 words; 28 August 2017)
Rehab AU. A year after the fateful Fourth of July party, Kavinsky suddenly comes out of the woodwork to apologize for what he's done.

I've written a LOT of TRC this year, but I think this one's my fave. Honourary mention to "I've tasted hell and it tastes just like you" (Rovinsky pwp), because that's the one that actually helped me break into writing for the fandom, and "Stay with me, I'll show you paradise" (same), which is its companion, but which I'm a tad fonder of because it shows Kavinsky a little more broken.


2. Fingers to the head, pointed like a gun: Harley Quinn/Jason Todd (Batman: Arkham Knight, T; 9.5k) 2/?
Post-game WIP. Jason and Harley team-up.

I posted the second chapter in October after a year of "hiatus" - and I wrote most of the chapter in a day, a fact which still boggles me. I'm not 100% satisfied with the ending, but eh, I might scrub it a bit when I post the third chapter.


3. here is a sing song of all the things you make me think of: Harley/Dinah/Ollie (Injustice: Gods Among Us, T; 2,565 words; 01 April 2017)
Harley loves the spring, with its colors and feelings of love it brings out in everyone.

More or less a stream of consciousness fic from Harley's pov. Rambling is one of my favourite things to do and here Harley's rambling on about the colour green and its associations for her.

Honourary mention to "Turn my secrets inside out and you will find me" (DCEU: Harley Quinn/Wonder Woman), which is another rambly fic dealing with Harley's crush on Diana. My last work of 2017.

After that massively productive October, my brain needed a break from writing it seemed.

Series

nothing more than any artist dreams
Artist AU.
1. blue as a gunshot wound: Kavinsky/Prokopenko (M; 3,635 words; 01 February 2017)
Proko knows he's a doormat when it comes to Kavinsky. It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.

2. Les liaisons dangereuses: Kavinsky/Prokopenko (M; 1,500 words; 27 May 2017)
You shouldn't be surprised when he drags you into the men's room, although somehow you are.

3. Hidden here below the fracture: Kavinsky/Ronan, Kavinsky/Prokopenko (M; 3,278 words; 28 December 2016)
Irritation lurks at the other end of his high, not inspiration.

Or, the one in which K tries to banish Lynch from his head. Through art. And fails.


Just give me what I came for

1. I've tasted hell and it tastes just like you: Kavinsky/Ronan (E; 2,565 words; 07 March 2017)
Everyone knows that when you need someone to hurt you, Kavinsky is it.

2. Stay with me, I'll show you paradise: Kavinsky/Ronan (E; 3,010 words; 14 March 2017)
Kavinsky would never admit it but he can’t say no to Ronan. No matter how late it is, he’s there. Though he’s usually not this destroyed.

3. my tongue still misbehaves: Kavinsky/Ronan (M; 500 words; 18 March 2017)
"Answer me this: how much would it piss you off if I got into Gansey's pants before you did?"

4. No sins as long as there's permission: Kavinsky/Ronan (E; 4,555 words; 15 April 2017)
WIP. "If we're gonna do this, I want you to leave Gansey out of it. Completely."

Standalones

Adam/Kavinsky/Ronan

1. a new kind of love your life has never allowed + polytangle (M; 2,835 words; 31 March 2017)
Youtube AU, sorta. Or: Adam is trying to edit a video, Kavinsky has other plans, and Gansey interrupts them both by video-calling long-distance.


Gansey/Ronan

1. your heart frayed and empty (M; 2,705 words; 12 March 2017)
Gansey wants to help Ronan, but has been drawing blanks as to how. Ronan has an idea, but never dared give it voice or thought. Until now.

2. stealing like the tide across a map (M; 2,150 words; 16 March 2017)
The collar is heavy in your hands, heavy with the weight of what's being asked. You're aware that this could very well cost you your friendship, no matter what decision you make.



Kavinsky/Ronan

1. Something's got me and I just can't seem to choose: Ronan/Kavinsky (T; 1,250 words; 13 November 2016)
"You know where you can keep an even better eye on me, Lynch?" he asks. Ronan ignores the tickle of warm breath against the shell of his ear and empties his shot glass. "On the dancefloor. Come on, dance with me."

Or, the one in which Ronan doesn't dance with K. Because obviously.

2. It's lovely. I hate it.: Kavinsky/Ronan (G; 200 words; 03 April 2017)
Of weakness, disbelief, and growing families.

3. He wonders what to say and whether to say it (T; 500 words; 07 May 2017)
For the first time in over a year and a half, you consider going to confession, to cleanse your soul of the sins you've committed this past week.

4. I'm variously sweat or shudder + Kavinsky/Prokopenko (M; 500 words; 10 May 2017)
You're about ready to dissolve when his phone rings. Kavinsky, of course, has to answer.

5. No warning from either of us (M; 2,205 words; 13 May 2017)
Business AU. Niall Lynch has expanded his business of procuring rare items. In his absence, Ronan takes over the helm, although he has no real interest in it. That is, unless it means one-upping Kavinsky.


Kavinsky/Prokopenko

1. Reality bites hard (T; 2,050 words; 08 January 2017)
WIP. Congratulations on coming out," Gansey says.
"No fucking way. Kavinsky's not gay."

A joke, that's all this is, but not everyone seems to get it and suddenly has opinions about your life and who you are as a person. Trouble is, you soon find you're not so sure yourself anymore.


Noah/Whelk

1. And it's a long way back from seventeen: Noah/Whelk (T; 1,210 words; 25 May 2017)
It wasn't only your skull that cracked that day.
