ETA: This brings me to 85 fandoms! At least for certain ways of counting it.

Did you know I did Yuletide 2020? Because I certainly never shared the fic I wrote. Or any recommendations. Or any life updates since last fall. I'm alive! I'm pretty happy! I'll post an update soonish.

For now, here are the stories I wrote for Yuletide 2020, just in time for Yuletide 2021 to start nominations.

Assignment: And It Burns, The Cave (2005), Charlie/Jack McAllister, Pacific Rim fusion, Summary: Charlie knows, with an inescapable certainty all the way down to her bones, that it is wrong to take the jaegers deep. Caving is about your body and the cave, strength and stone and darkness, and not some goddamn machine.

Treat: Brave Enough, Jurassic Park/Jurassic World, Kelly Malcolm/Lex Murphy, Summary: I DIDN'T EVEN WRITE A SUMMARY, HOLY SHIT WAS I OUT OF IT AT THE END OF LAST YEAR. Have one now: The Jurassic Park Survivors Found Family comes back together to save Claire, Owen, and especially Maisie Lockwood.

Treat: It Rises, Seattle Kraken "A Legend from the Deep Awakens" (Promotional Video), Summary: Mount Rainier burns the day the kraken comes.

(If you have never seen it, Meet the Seattle Kraken is the video, I listened tot he song in it on repeat the entire time I worked on the story, to this day I sometimes listen to it on repeat, it remains one of the best promo videos I've ever seen, and this fic is one of my favorites of my work. The Blues will always be my team, but here's my second time. Finally, fuck I miss Seattle.)

Treat: Smoke and Ashes, Ghost and the Darkness (1996), Colonel John Henry Patterson/Helena Patterson, Summary: The Pattersons are invited to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri in 1904. Or rather, Lt. Colonel John Henry Patterson is invited to participate in the great engineering intellectual debates, and after Tsavo, John does not travel without his wife and young son.

It comes as no surprise when Helena finds them a ghost.

I have been very off the past few months, and for the first time since doing Trick or Treat and Shipoween, I did not manage to write any treats. I did write two stories I like quite a bit, though! (Also, a new fandom for me!)

Girls Like Honey, Sweet Valley Twins/Sweet Valley High, Jessica/Lila, Summary: The Fowler mansion is haunted, Lila says. Jessica Wakefield believes in ghosts.

Left to Lose, Lost Boys, Michael/Sam, Summary: Max died. It changed nothing.

I've had zero chance to read any fic since my last rec post, but work should slow down next week, finally, and even though I'll be traveling some after that, I hope to at least get through the rest of the Trick or Treat and Shipoween collections. Not to mention the backlog of fic I have saved that my favorite authors have posted. I need a vacation that is all reading fic all the time.

For Trick or Treat and Shipoween, I wrote six stories in four new fandoms and one old fandom. It was also a werewolf-heavy writing period, which you know I loved.

Baby-Sitters Club

Chapters: 1/1

Characters: Mary Anne Spier, Kristy Thomas, Stacey McGill, Dawn Schafer, Claudia Kishi
Additional Tags: Haunted Houses, Post-Canon, Trapped in a Storm, Trick or Treat: Trick, Trick or Treat: Extra Treat
Summary:

Farmhouses were supposed to be cheerful things with white-washed fences, big windows to let in the sun, and a wide front porch overlooking the fields. What stood in front of them was a monstrosity.

I managed five Yuletide stories this year, my assignment and four treats. Not my most prolific year, but pretty damn good, and I'm proud of the stories I wrote.

Assignment: Out of Bounds and Off the Trail, Baby-Sitters Club by Ann M. Martin, Abby/Kristy (and ensemble)
Summary: Abby heads up to Shadow Lake for a long weekend of skiing, snowball fights, and hot chocolate. Add in an unrequited crush, two sets of best friends, and a blizzard, and the only thing Abby can think is this: At least we're not being stalked by a failed killer this time.

Treat: (Not a) Survival Group, Jurassic Park series/Jurassic World series, Lex/Kelly (and ensemble)
Summary: It's not a dinosaur survival group. Not really. It's just that, well, they all survived dinosaurs once. Or twice. Kelly hopes there will never be a third time for any of them.

Treat: No More Crossroads, No More Waiting, Thunderheart, Ray/Walter, soulmate AU
Summary: The movies got the soulmate thing all wrong.

(I 100% expected

carlyinrome to guess this was me, but she swears she did not.)

Treat: Advance and Retreat, Avengers Grimm, Sleeping Beauty and Red Riding Hood
Summary: Beauty's magic fails her sometimes. Snow thinks it's high time she learned to fight. Red's the one given the job. No one is happy about this.

(New fandom! I've wanted to write for this for a few years now, and I was thrilled to find another fan.)

Treat: Say Hello to Your Friends (Again and Again and Again), Baby-Sitters Club by Ann M. Martin, Mallory/Jessi (and ensemble)
Summary: When Mary Anne gets married (again), Mallory and Jessi reunite with some old friends. It's not nearly as awkward as Mallory fears.

Trick or Treat authors have (somewhat) been revealed (apparently there's an author reveals bug, too), so here are the four stories I wrote this year. I wish I would have managed one more, because that would have brought me to five stories, which I like for an exchange. Ah well, Yuletide is coming. Trick or Treat was great for me this year as both a reader and a writer.

Assignment: 16 Ways to Kill a Vampire at McDonald's (new fandom)

I love this fandom a ton, and I got amazing fic out of it last year, so I really wanted to do it justice this year. I'm pleased with what I managed.

Title: Dangerous Things, and Scary, and Bright

Summary: Lucy met her first vampire when she was eighteen and looked twenty and felt like she was at least as mature as any twenty-one year old. She met her second vampire when she was nineteen, and looked twenty-one, and was as scared as a baby tossed out into a bright, loud, dangerous world.

Treat: Original Work (it's complicated fandom)

I love weird west, ghost stories, and stories about dangerous, hungry women. Based on the response, I did a good job of making it creepy and twisty, which was exactly what I wanted.

Title: Spook Hunting

Summary: It don't matter what they find. None of the stories are ever told the same.

Treat: Chronicles of Riddick series (old fandom)

Shopfront had a great request and inspiring prompts, and I wanted to bring Dahl and Kyra together into the same place. I love Pitch Black and parts of Riddick, but huge chunks of Riddick infuriated me, too, and I wanted to play around with changing that. I'm pleased with how this turned out.

Title: Dirt and Danger and Death

Summary: It's a planet full of dirt and danger and death, like all the best places.

Treat: Riverdale (new fandom)

I think Riverdale is ripe for haunting and supernatural things, and bloodredcherries felt the same way, based on their prompts, so I wanted to write an unreliable narrator ghost story.

Title: She is Marked and Undone

Summary: Betty remembers, and sees, and dreams.

Summary:

He can do it with the snap of his fingers -- just like that.

Probably only the first part of a handful, but we'll see.

Yuletide fic has been revealed. I managed to post 5 stories in the main archive; two of them very much felt like my kind of writing and storytelling, and at least one of those two definitely was, because many people guessed I wrote the Confident/Jurassic Park crossover.

Assignment: I was so damn excited when I received my assignment, and I love the fic that eventually resulted, but oh my god, it took so much longer to write than expected. Every single sentence of the first draft was like chewing through leather. Thank god I am a much better rewriter than writer, because subsequent drafts really bashed it into shape.

Nani and Lilo grow up and together and apart.

Treats: I was super inspired by all the prompts I wrote stories to fill, but I am still in shock and joy that someone else requested Never Cry Werewolf fic. For a long time, that was my Yuletide Great White Whale; I requested fic and never got it, until carolinecrane wrote Down to You for me back in Yuletide 2012 and made my year. I was excited to get to write for someone else who loves the fandom.

Summary:

Teenage vampire slayers on their first hunt have nothing on an experienced pack of vampires. Everything changes.

I wrote one assignment and five extra treats for Trick or Treat 2017. I loved the hell out of the stories I got, really enjoyed a bunch of stories and art from the collection, and had a blast writing. As usual, the Trick or Treat exchange was a great experience. A++ highly recommend.

Assignment and first treat: I was assigned to

lionessvalenti, for whom I've written before, and whose prompts I often love. This year was no different. Kristy and the Haunted Camp Adventure actually started out as my assignment fill, and then I wrote four different 1000 word starts to it, and then it really took off. I got nervous I wouldn't finish it in time, and wrote Spicy (And Oh So Sweet) instead (after touring a Jelly Belly factory). (I came to Roswell after the fandom's heyday, and have been sad I missed out ever since, so I love getting the chance to write fic for it.)

Summary:

“Well,” he shuffles his feet, rubs the back of his neck. He’s so confident most of the time. It’s strange to see him like this, and kind of nice, too, though she likes his confidence just as much as everything else about him. “Spicy and sweet. I kind of get it now.”

Characters: Kristy Thomas, Mary Anne Spier, Dawn Schafer, Cary Retlin, Alan Gray
Additional Tags: Trick or Treat: Chocolate Box, Trick or Treat: Trick, Friends to Lovers, Ghost Hunting, High School, Extra Treat
Summary:

Things Kristy Thomas doesn't believe:

That ghosts are real.
That she'll manage to have any fun adventures senior year because she's so stressed about what comes next.
That she and Cary Retlin can ever be anything more than pseudo-friends.

When Dawn convinces them to explore an abandoned, maybe haunted, summer camp over fall break, Kristy just might have to reevaluate everything.

Treat two: I wrote a gender-swapped Lost Boys treat for skazka for Yuletide last year, too, and had so much fun with it that when I saw their prompts this year, I wanted to do it again. I did have some concerns that I wouldn't have a different story to tell, but this turned out to have a much different feel than the one I wrote last year.

Summary:

Mike Emerson comes to Santa Carla and falls in love.

Treat three: I was deeply inspired by tekuates' prompts. I haven't written much BtVS fic in recent years, though it was my first online fandom and I love it still, and it was such a fun time getting to return to that canon.

Spark and Burn (1324 words) by escritoireazul

Characters: Buffy Summers, Spike (BtVS)

Summary:

The fire cast golden light across the long line of his back, warming his pale flesh. He was thin enough the knots of his spine pressed against his skin and the edges of his ribs were a shadow just beneath the surface. When she drew near, he quivered, and she watched the motion flutter down his body. She could stroke his head, sooth him like the animal he was. Instead, she placed one hand on the side of his throat and dug her nails in.

Treat four: I love Mia Toretto a hell of a lot, and loved this prompt for haunted houses and their chosen family on the run.

Summary:

“I don’t believe in ghosts,” she tells them, and in the light of day, her voice is steady and strong.

Treat five: I actually bought the game to write this fic (I loved Life is Strange, and had planned to buy the Before the Storm prequel anyway, but sumi's prompt bumped it straight to the top of my list). I absolutely fell in love with Amber Rose, and I've loved Chloe from the very first second she appeared on screen in the first game.

Summary:

For the first time in a long time, it feels like something in Chloe's life is finally going right.

I only managed five stories across three fandoms for Yuletide this year, half as many as last year, but I'm mostly very pleased with what I did write. We'll see how next Yuletide goes, as always. Perhaps I will scale my goal back to 5 stories a year for the next few years.

Assignment: The Light That Carries You Home (Full House, gen) (for celeria)
Characters/pairings: DJ Tanner, Kimmy Gibbler, Stephanie Tanner, Michelle Tanner, Danny Tanner, Becky Donaldson, Tommy Fuller Sr
Tags: Road trips, cabin fic, sister-sister relationship, college anxiety, post-series, pre-series, first meetings
Word count: 10k+

Summary: The summer before she leaves for Berkeley, DJ says good-bye.

I was so excited to get this assignment, and then I struggled, and struggled, and struggled some more. Part of it was that I always struggle to write fiction without monsters, and I just finished another such project before I started this, and part of it was the election fallout. I wrote probably 20k total on this in fits and starts, with deleted scenes and three different openings (one of which became a treat) and multiple drafts and multiple betas and lots and lots of rewriting. I'm fairly pleased with how it came out.

Treat: The Face of Someone Who Needs You (Full House, DJ/Steve) (for celeria)
Characters/pairings: DJ Tanner/Steve Hale, Danny Tanner
Tags: Post-series, break up, growing up, male-female friendship
Word count: 1800+

Summary: DJ loves Steve, still, and she'll always be grateful for prom, but that doesn't mean they're getting back together.

This is, of course, the opening that I cut from the main gift but which stood enough on its own to be read as a treat. It is more bittersweet than I normally write for Yuletide, but I really love DJ in it.

Treat: Oh, That Curse I Cannot Lift (Confident - Demi Lovato, Michelle/Demi) (for

st_aurafina)
Characters/pairings: Woman (Demi Lovato)/Woman (Michelle Rodriguez)
Tags: Alternate universe - werewolf, first time shifting, pack building, outdoor sex, oral sex
Word count: 5100+

Summary: There’s silver bullets in Demi’s belt, a silver core to the metal band around her throat. Michelle wonders if she knows, if she can smell the similarities between them.

When I finally had the second draft of my assignment done and off to the beta, I went looking through the prompts again, wanting to write treats. I had avoided the other Confident prompts, because I try not to write in fandoms I request, but I decided to skim through them to see the different things people wanted (I love seeing the different ways people are inspired by the same source material), and when I saw the werewolf prompt, I immediately opened a file. The first words were: WEREWOLF CONFIDENT PROMPT OMG YES THIS IS MINE.

So, yeah. That happened. Of everything I wrote this year, this story is the one that has a neon sign with my name on it, and I would not be surprised at all if everyone who knows me and read it immediately guessed it was mine.

Once again, I got to write Michelle Rodriguez as a werewolf, which is one of my favorite things.

Treat: Comes the Night, Comes the Shadow (Lost Boys, Star/Michael/David) (for

havocthecat)
Characters/Pairings: Star/Michael/David
Tags: Bloodplay, blood drinking, public sex
Word count: 1900+

Summary: Star is sixteen when she comes to Santa Carla.

As soon as I saw

havocthecat's Lost Boys request, I knew I wanted to try to write a gift fic for her, and then I bugged her to post her letter, which means I would not at all be surprised if she knew this was me. I love how she loves the Lost Boys, and Star in particular, and I have become so deeply sold on Star/Michael/David. This was, as always, a joy to write; Lost Boys was my second online fandom, and I've been writing in it for nearly 20 years now. I love it so.

Treat: Straight On 'Til Morning (Lost Boys, Star/David, Star/Michael) (for skazka)
Characters/Pairings: Star/David, Star/Michael, Marko, Dwayne, Paul
Tags: Alternate universe - always a different sex, fortune telling, peter pan references
Word count:

Summary: Star saw a knight in the cards, but there was no boy in shining armor on a white horse. There wasn't even a boy in a car, offering her safety and family and home. There wasn't a boy at all, though boys come to Santa Carla by the dozens, and die just as fast.

There was, though, a girl.

This was the first story I started for Yuletide 2016, and the last I finished. I saw the prompt before I even read my assignment and immediately fell in love with it, particularly the way skazka loves Santa Carla and the feel of the movie, and his lesbian biker gang prompt was the greatest thing ever. I love this story, and this world, and if I write more lesbian Lost Boys gender swap, do not be surprised.

A podfic of "all the broken hearts" by escritoireazul.

I can't wait to listen to this.

You guys, I got the nicest surprise in my email this morning!

blackglass recorded a podfic of my multifandom story, One Girl Revolution. I am absolutely delighted!

I wrote One Girl Revolution back in 2009 to celebrate 10 years of posting fic online (which means I am coming up on 20 years, fucking hell), and to celebrate all the wonderful fandoms and people I've had in my life because of fic. Having a podfic available is such a nice way to continue that celebration. I am thrilled, and touched, and so excited to share it with you all.

(I have a blanket permission statement about derivative works, and I am so glad I do, because being surprised by this is an A+ way to start the day.)

Summary:

A podfic of "One Girl Revolution" by escritoireazul.

This was the first story I started for Yuletide 2015, and pretty much the last thing I completed. I knew I wanted to write a sequel to From Just One Spark for quettaser, whose prompts last year and this year were incredibly inspiring, it just took me awhile to get there. Last year, I wrote how Gisele managed to survive. This year, I wrote about her learning to live again, and saving the people she loves.

Title: Soaked in Gasoline
Author: escritoireazul
Characters/Pairings: Gisele Harabo/Han Lue, Brian O'Conner/Mia Toretto, Sean Boswell/Neela
Author's Note: This is a transformative work of fiction set after Fast & Furious 6 and during Tokyo Drift. Sequel to From Just One Spark. Otherwise, this can be read as a story where Gisele fell from that plane but, in the manner of many Fast and the Furious characters, managed to survive certain death. This is what comes after.

Summary: Gisele and Han make a life in Tokyo, but no matter how many people they collect, it is not the same as family and home.

I wanted to write this story for quettaser last year, but could never get the feel of the magic right, so I ended up writing From Just One Spark instead, which is also a fix-it fic in which Gisele and Han both live. This year, I wanted to try again, and succeeded. I love Mia and her magic, and how Dominic turned away from it, and how she finds her strength not in practicing alone, but in finding and keeping her place within her family, past, present, and future.

Summary: “Han,” she says, and her voice is rough. “Han,” she tries again.

He glances up at her, and the shadows under his eyes, the pain lining his face, make her want to cry.

“Han.” His name, a third time, the start of a spell. “I can bring her back.”

This is the only new fandom I wrote for Yuletide. The moment I saw rsadelle's prompt, which wasn't until close to the end of the writing period, I knew I wanted to write her a Gen/Ann story. I sat down that very night, rewatched the movie, and wrote the first draft of this. I love the movie, which is ridiculous and adorable and fun, and I hope I captured some of that joy here.

I wanted to write a story about Claire (and Owen, at least in how he relates to her) in the immediate aftermath of Jurassic World, when the weight of all those people, all that terror and adrenaline, all that responsibility settles over her, but before she can actually do anything about it. And I wanted to write this story for thecarlysutra, who was having a bad time of things, and loves this movie and this character and this pairing so much.
