Author notes: The title is from THE FINAL FUTURE by Kim Yideum (translation credit missing).
Summary: Gardening is fun.
(other rambling notes)I originally was going to use axe instead of shovel but I wasn’t sure if that was too horror? But with such a short story, horror can everything so maybe this is worse? Anyway, it’s funny because the Wishies are so cute (or rather, intentionally kawaii aesthetic) with Wichu and everything else so little cabbages both makes perfect sense on a cute level, but of course anything cute can be horror too when you look at it from the other side 😂

beatrice_otter: Captain America (Captain America)

Fandom: MCU
Pairings/Characters: Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers
Rating: Gen
Length: 15k
Creator Links: [archiveofourown.org profile] rosepetalfall 
Theme: siblings, family

Summary: Bucky’s dad always says what they do is important.

“We give people the dignity they deserved in life,” he says, seriously.

Uncle Danny laughs at that. “Jimmy-kid,” he says, “your old man has got some real trumped up notions of what it is we do. Death ain’t beautiful. We just help create the illusion that it can be.”

Reccer's Notes: This is a really interesting look at Bucky's life before the war, and his family, and all the things that shaped him. The OCs are very well drawn and I love the details and thematic resonance of the family business.

Pairings/Characters: Cosette/Courfeyrac

Theme: siblings, humor, novel-length, epic works, old fandoms, book fandoms, small fandoms, AU, fork in the road, family, everybody lives, crack, female friendship, fixit, happy endings, just plain fun, politics, rare pairings,

Summary: Courfeyrac falls through the roof of no. 7 Rue de l'Homme Armé, taking down not only the ceiling, but the carefully built walls Valjean has constructed around himself and Cosette. Wacky hijinks ensue.

Reccer's Notes: This fic is madcap and fun in all the best ways. The shenanigans and hijinks are wonderful ... and at the core of those shenanigans and hijinks are Courfreyac and his siblings, as they draw Cosette into a quirky but loving family. (And also try to get everyone safely through cholera and a failed revolution.) I love all of the distinct and interesting characters, both canon and OC. I love the shenanigans. I love that Cosette gets a chance to truly blossom and form friendships. It's wonderful

Fandom: Ballet Shoes
Characters/Pairings: Posy Fossil
Rating: General
Length: 5203 words

Theme: siblings, family, female characters, gen, book fandoms, old fandoms, small fandoms, future fic

Summary: "There was a terrific row when Nana found out I'd only written one letter so she's sent me to write to you all properly, only I don't have anything left to say now and I do think it's silly to have to copy out the same letter twice." Posy Fossil's letters to her sisters from ballet school in Czechoslovakia, 1936-1938.

Reccer's Notes: Ballet Shoes is a delightful story about three sisters in 1930s Britain, their guardian, and their nanny. At the end of the story, one goes off to Hollywood under a studio contract, one goes to live by an aerodrome to learn to fly, and the youngest (Posy) goes to Czechoslovakia to be trained as a ballet dancer. Posy, the youngest, loves her sisters but is also self-centered and focused on her dancing. This is the first time she's ever been away from her sisters since she was a baby, and the letters trace that relationship even as they're hundreds and thousands of miles apart. But no matter how far apart they are, no matter how different their lives are, they still love one another. [personal profile] deepdarkwaters captures Posy's character, and her relationship with her sisters, perfectly.

Fandom: The Pitt
Characters/Pairings: Michael "Robby" Robinavitch/Dennis Whitaker, Trinity Santos, Jack Abbot
Rating: Explicit
Length: 24,437 words
Creator Links: cold_cereal on AO3
Theme: siblings,

Summary: When Whitaker accidentally sends a dick pic to Dr. Robby, he never thought it would end like this.

Reccer's Notes: Well now...

With a summary like that you would expect nothing more than a PWP, but this is the furthest from that. We all know that Whitaker comes from Broken Bow, Nebraska and grew up on a farm with 3 brothers. But we never get any of that backstory - toxic or good - in canon.

Well that backstory shows up here, almost like there needed to be a wonderful plot to go along with the accidental dick pic share. We get to see Whitaker's parents and his brothers - and how he and one of his brothers escaped that small-town/small-mindedness. I'm not saying his one brother that "escaped" the mentality is all that great, but I know these small-town folks. Hell, I'm related to a lot of them. And I can read a compliment from what sounds like a bigot trying to do better, even if they don't have a frame of reference for that.

Basically, this is a fic about getting out of a small town, and leaving the small-mindedness behind.

Reading
  • Read some more of Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. It largely seems to be just a collection of little stories, which are interesting, but it does feel like slow going.
  • Read some more of Demon Fish by Juliet Eilperin. The stuff about shark calling was very interesting, especially because I was surprised to have not heard of it before!
  • Ficwise, I'm all over the place. Read quite a bit for Private Property and Never Let Me Go, with some PondPhuwin RPF in the mix. Currently rereading a JunDylan fic again because I needed some comfort food lol
Watching
  • The roommate and I finished MuTeLuv. I enjoyed the Dew in Japan story, though once again, the het romance did not work for me. But the SurfJava story was just as good as everyone had been saying! Possibly my favorite one in the bunch. It was nice to see Surf getting to do more than he did in Head 2 Head, as well as Java playing a much less pathetic character. (I just had to ignore that this was supposed to be the OhmLeng story...)
  • The roommate and I started watching Century of Love. The production value is a bit iffy, but Daou and Offroad are delightful so far. Very interested to see where it's going.
  • The roommate and I watched more of Running Man Thailand. Well, attempted. Idk what's going on, but the app we stream it through keeps freezing up a few minutes in and won't load anymore. It's just for this show, none of the others we watch there, but it's happened on episodes 2, 3, and 4! We're waiting for episode 3 to make it to youtube so we can actually finish it.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Cat for Cash. Very sweet episode! And Winny did show up just like I'd seen spoilers for, which was kind of sad considering he and Satang recently broke up. So this is their last role together. We'll see if he shows up in any other episodes.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Duang With You. It's getting steamy! I was surprised that kind of scene was happening already, which makes me wonder, especially with the preview for next week, if things are going to start falling apart for them.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Only Friends: Dream On. Some machinations happening that seem to be heading in interesting ways, both positively and negatively. Looking forward to more of the fallout. Especially with Rome seeming so disappointed with Raffy's choices, which didn't even work out for him.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Yesterday. I am refusing to believe Lalit is dead lol But ooh, Kelvin! I hope he goes insane over thinking Vier's dead. The preview for next week is very puzzling in that regard though...
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of My Romance Scammer. And it all comes tumbling down! Poor Tim and poor Pai, they really went through it. Excited to see how they manage to rebuild things!
Listening
  • Still making my way through the LYKN tour videos.
Writing
  • Started on my fic for [community profile] songkranexchange . Not sure if I love the concept, so we'll see if I finish it or try something else.
  • Wrote more on the omegaverse ArmTae fic. I think maybe I'm about halfway through? Maybe? They're taking their sweet time...
Learning
  • I took my laptop to the cafe to write on Saturday, but it ended up not being charged and they don't have outlets, so I worked on Japanese since the roommate had her workbook with her! I practiced hiragana, which was honestly a lot more longhand writing than I've done in a long time lol

Hello and happy Thursday! Thanks for joining us. :3 Rather than going directly across the color wheel to red, I thought we could go towards shiny...

Today's theme is gold. The metal, the color, figuratively speaking about silence or people's hearts or what have you... Glittering treasure, perchance? Or is it fool's gold? All prompts and fills should feature gold in some way.

Feel free to add specifics to your prompts, like whether you'd prefer a gen fill over something shippy, or if you have a squick or trigger you hope to avoid. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are always welcome. ~_^

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get things started...
+ The Batman (2022/Reevesverse), Bruce Wayne (+/ any), black and gold
+ The Librarian(s) (TV movies and series), any +/ any, having a golden touch
+ author's choice, any (+/ any), winning a golden award/trophy or attending an awards ceremony

We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].

While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!

[#293 | Rough Seas] Challenge Post

[personal profile] fanweeklymod posting in [community profile] fandomweekly
Challenge 293:
ROUGH SEAS
The ocean might be beautiful, but it isn’t safe.

Maybe there’s a storm rolling in, whipping the waves into peaks that tower higher than ships while ominous clouds gather overhead. Maybe the tide’s going out, pulling the waves along the shoreline into treacherous riptides. Maybe there’s something lurking in the depths, stirring up the surface. Whatever it is, right now, the seas are rough.

How do your characters handle it? Are they skilled sailors or swimmers, risking the waves easily? Or would they rather stay on shore and watch?

Write a story about rough seas.

BONUS GOAL: “Never turn your back on the sea.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!


Challenge ends Monday, March 23 at 9:00PM EST.
• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 293 – rough seas

ranalore: JC and WWX in the courtyard of Lotus Pier (the untamed twin prides)

Fandom: 陈情令 | The Untamed
Pairings/Characters: Jiang Cheng & Wei Wuxian & Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng/Nie Huaisang (background), Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji (background), Lan Xichen, Jin Zixuan, Meng Yao, Wen Zhuliu
Rating: R for Graphic Depictions of Violence and Major Character Death
Length: 133,987 words
Creator Link: [archiveofourown.org profile] meyari
Themes: Siblings, Time Travel Fix-It, Women Being Awesome, Trauma & Recovery

Summary: As the Jianghu collapses around Jiang Cheng's ears, his borrowed core begins to fail. Wei Wuxian has one final trick up his sleeve, though the only person who can use it is the one person who has no core of his own: Jiang Cheng. Time travel may be impossible for everyone else, but Jiang Cheng has one slender, delicate chance to save the entire world. Of course he has to take it no matter what the cost might be.

Reccer's Notes: As soon as I saw this month's theme, I thought of this story. While time travel fix-its and core reveal fix-its are both common in the fandom, this story handles both tropes in ways I haven't seen any other story do. It also features amazing original characters, including several badass women of the Meishan Yu sect, and gives Jiang Yanli one of the best storylines I've ever seen. The rating is because there's still a war, and some characters still die, but it's a far different war, and they are far different deaths.

I do feel like I have to provide a caveat that this could use a serious line edit, by which I mean there is a grammatical or spelling error in nearly every sentence. It really says something that, despite this, I couldn't put the story down, and devoured all 100K+ words of it in the space of two nights.
