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.”

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.

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.

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: Gisele is flesh and Gisele is bone, and always she rises from the ashes.

( Glitter and Gold )

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.”

( Blood Sacrifice )

This was the second treat I wrote, while I was still trying to outline the pinch hit I picked up. I love this series so much, even though I find the second movie boring as hell and the third really messes up the things I like about the later movies. But I am super excited to watch not just movie six but movie seven, as raz0rgirl so kindly informed me would occur, and I still love writing in this fandom.

My girl Letty, she's awesome.

This is eligible for the Dark Agenda challenge with chromatic characters.

catalinay was the only one with a correct guess as to which of the stories I wrote, and she guessed this one. I think it's time I stopped writing Blue Crush and Fast and the Furious for Yuletide, because I am completely recognizable.

Summary: Some things are so goddamn hot Letty thinks they might kill her.
