Fic for me! :D

Many Happy Returns of the Day by edenfalling for a prompt I left for any Defenders or Iron Fist character having a birthday after they meet their new friends. Delightful fic with Matt + Danny + a Special Surprise Guest. (Also on DW.)

And this goes nicely with the lovely Jessica and Danny birthday fic that kore/actonbell wrote me in the Defenders Prompt Fest! Which is still open, by the way.


MCU Exchange is open with 81 fics! (I wrote 2 things for this fest. Happy hunting.) I got What a Lovely Way to Burn, an Agent Carter OT3 get-together with abundant Jack h/c that hit aaaaaallllll my happy buttons.


And the Escape the Iron Triangle Exchange (multifandom flashfic) had both the writing period and reveals this weekend. I also wrote two (2) things in this, and I got Clouds, a sweet Bucky de-aging fic!

I've just been reading through the Iron Triangle fics (they're all pretty short and the collection isn't that big, so easy enough to go through in an evening). My favorites so far:

Shoot from the Hip - Defenders/MCU. Claire/Valkyrie, PWP. Probably my favorite thing in the collection; it's sweet and hot with A+ characterization.

Gone Away - Captain Marvel. Maria and Monica in the aftermath of Carol's disappearance in 1989.

At the End of the Rainbow - MCU, gen. Three adventures Valkyrie didn't have, and two she did. (The tagged pairings are a bit inaccurate. Maybe the author isn't familiar with Ao3's pairing tagging system ...?)

Change is as good as a holiday - Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley. A+ character voices.

The Deserter - Original F/F. There's a wealth of worldbuilding and characterization in a really short space; feels like fanfic for a canon that doesn't exist, in the best possible way.


Oh, and signups are open 'til July 14 for auexchange! I need to finish getting my signup together ...

I have barely begun making my way through the MCU exchange fics. There's SO MUCH. And yesssss, AU exchange. Join us. :D

[sholio]

... I will be totally joining you. >__> If I can only finish picking tags!

The recent exchanges have been so good -- Iron Triangle, WDLF, Marvel femslash, Marvel exchange -- I am loving it. sholio's Defenders prompts post has SO MANY good ideas, too.

OMG I forgot to add you as a reicp to that! I always forget it. Brain like a steel thingum.

[sholio]

Oh, no worries - but thanks! :) I often don't put people on as recips for promptfic - actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not quite sure why I don't do that. I guess it has something to do with not always knowing how to match up people's DW/Tumblr names with their AO3 names, and then wanting to be consistent. idk.

Oh, I hadn't even thought of that one. -- I just typically forget because I have such a shitty memory, hah.
