I'm terrible at signing up for exchanges, I dither for ages and fret about the thought of having to write a letter. So for once, what I've written, thanks to taking up some pinch hits outstrips the number of what I've received. In reverse chronological exchange order therefore:

Relationshipping

What I got: In medias res (always in the middle of something), The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley/Theo, Summary: Shirley and Theo avoid a touchy subject (or not).

What I thought: That feeling when you get the rarepair incest femslash fic you've been hoping for :___: angry, sharp and pointy Crain sisters, with a kiss that takes place while someone has their hands buried (literally) in someone else's chest.

What I gave: The Preservation of the World, Ginger Snaps, Brigitte/Ginger, Summary: no joke, I just realised while typing this up...that I forgot to put a summary on AO3. In brief, AU from the end - Ginger and Brigitte live in the woods together.
What I thought: I've been waiting ages to write a fic for Ginger Snaps, and this is a Stripy special - plenty of shitty jokes to go around!

Two pinch hits written respectively for the SAME (Short August Medieval Exchange) flash exchange and the Stephen King exchange

SAME: he today that sheds his blood with me, A Knight's Tale, Will/ Edward the Black Prince, Summary: The Black Prince can always count on William to rise to his challenge.
What I thought: This was a ton of fun to write. It involves blowjobs, stupid banter between Will and his friends and my personal favourite thing: single combat

King of Exchanges, fears that I may cease to be, The Long Walk, Ray Garraty/Peter McVries, Summary: Olson breaks the line. McVries and Garraty run.
What I thought: just about the fastest I've written a fic this year, thanks pinch hit deadline! A pleasure though.

My New Years Resolution fic, written merely one year late

friend like that, who needs an enemy, LA Confidential, Bud White/Edmund Exley, Summary:  “Two dead Santas and a heroin epidemic,” Exley says, thumbing through a little crisp book now. “The things Christmas is made of.”
What I thought: How my immensely kind and patient beta did not storm across a sea to throw me out a window when writing this is beyond me. Thank you

Remix Revival Madness

What I got: Blood Alliances (a Heart Blood remix), Supernatural, Dean/Benny, Summary: Benny's thought about it in the course of their journey through the vast forested landscape of Purgatory.
What I thought: This was a remix of my Dean/Benny fic which involved Dean thoroughly topping Benny in Purgatory, and I am pleased as hell that my remixer kept the spirit of that while creating an amazing story. Loved it.

Trick or Treat (I was lucky enough to get three fics!)

What I got: Tomatoes, lettuce and a burger, Supernatural, gen, Summary: Dean is making Sam a burger, something is off.
What I thought: delicious creepy little horror fic - just perfect for a Halloween trick
What I got: Fox-Fire, The Terror, Crozier/Fitzjames, Summary:  “I like my little Fox very much,” Francis said with half-a-smile. “It has always done well by me.”
What I thought: I love these two so much, and this was a delightful byplay between them complete with rescue
What I got: The Litany of Hatred, The Favourite, Abigail/Sarah, Summary: A beast stalks the palace. Sarah tells Abigail about it.
What I thought: My favourite messed up couple, this is subtle and vicious with an amazing turn of phrase

What I gave: Bird on a Wire, Top Gun, Iceman/Maverick, Summary: Hiding in plain sight is tough, but Maverick considers himself a master of disguise.
What I thought: One day I will write the Iceman/Mav fic of my dreams, but until then, I enjoyed getting a little snippet of them out there even though I wished it could have been longer.

Fic in a Box (didn't sign up, so this was just a pinch hit)

What I wrote: death, the abyss from where no traveler is permitted to return, Hannibal, Alana Bloom/Beverly Katz, Summary: “You know,” Alana says, mostly a non-sequitur. “You aren’t the first. Is that comforting?” / Beverly pauses over the milk, some people maintain a jug, she sticks to the carton. “Not the first to come back?” she says./ “I was thinking, not the first to die,” Alana replies.Non-exchange (yes it exists)

a separate moral universe, Supernatural, Sam/Dean, Summary: What Is And What Should Never Be AU. Dean is Sam’s no good big brother who flunked out of school, steals their mom’s silver to pay off his gambling debts, and is drunk more often than not. And he fucks Sam like no one else ever does.  / Motels inhabit a separate moral universe is what that world's Stoppard might've said, but didn't.
What I thought: This was a super fun exercise actually - this is very specifically the djinn version of Sam and Dean who we saw from that episode, but I hope bits of real Sam and Dean come through as well. OK, honestly, it's just porn.

This was a fun little exchange called We Die Like Fen (multi fandom flash exchange with a very fast writing signup/time). I didn't sign up, but I did pinch hit and also managed to write a treat.

The pinch hit was for Original Fic - I wrote for the prompt Lonely Farmhand/Creepy Scarecrow and posted it under a pseudo-sock here. No points if you guess the origin of the username. I've written plenty of non-fandom stuff in my life, but I've never tried writing fandom tinged Original Work before so it was a nice experiment.

It's Lonely in the Fields (4708 words) by OldSportSquared
Rating: Mature
Relationships: Original Male Character/Original Male Character, Lonely Farmhand/Creepy Scarecrow
Additional Tags: Scarecrow on Human Love, bring your own tags, the farmhand has brought his own booze, Coming In Pants
Summary: Simon's been alone a very long time. The scarecrow has been alone even longer.

I also had super fun writing a little treat for Oasis RPF. It grabbed me instantly and had to be boshed out. Thanks again for the super inspiring prompt snickfic!

you and I are going to live forever (2055 words) by StripySock
Fandom: Oasis (Band)
Rating: Mature
Relationships: Liam Gallagher/Noel Gallagher
Additional Tags: Cocaine, Recreational Drug Use, First Kiss, The Early Years - Freeform
Summary: It suddenly seems of great importance to remind Noel that they'd killed it out there tonight, taken the bull by the horns and shagged it, even with the elation fading away, the thrum of the evening settling down to a steady hum in his bones. It's half the fading remnants of the over priced powder, half the electric thrill of being on stage.


Below are the recs for the things I've had a chance to read so far from the same exchange. All f/f and nothing is super long so very bite sized for maxiumum convenience and enjoyment!

contract tenderness from each other like a disease  MCU, Gamora/Nebula, I've always loved these two and this is a lovely look at some themes of life and destruction from Nebula's POV. 
Stochastic Convergence, Annihilation, as weird as the film, a super interesting post canon look at how things have changed, and the many and multi faceted layers of both being and performing being.
Narrative, Little Women/MCU crossover , Jo March/Valkyrie. I would never have thought of this in a million years, but I love the story of Thor as told through Jo March and it's also quietly sexy.
the shining of you, Raven Cycle, Blue/Persephone, nothing better than a short little fic that gets everything it wants and needs to say into the word count. This is lowkey horror and I would read a ton more.
Exit Wounds, Original Work, female werewolf/female hunter, sexy dark fic about a hunter who is hunted in their turn by a werewolf from their past.
Little Butterfly, Original Work, princess/female barbarian warlord [noncon] pretty much exactly what it says on the tin

Content notes: sex, mentions of background characters death
Author notes: written for quickreaver for spn_j2_xmas . You had amazing prompts, and there were so many fics I wanted to write, but this is the one that happened. Many thanks to tebtosca for the extension. Title owed to Yeats. Thanks to sleepypercy for their beta, much appreciated. Set in an alternate s7, after the events of s6.

Summary: A case with a selkie turns into far more than the Winchesters had ever anticipated. Sam has to resist the urge of the sea, Dean's got to live with what might have to be done to hold him back from it.

I posted the first bit of this for spn_masquerade, then took a couple of months to add another 8K. So the first couple of thousands words may look familiar, but the rest is spanking new.


Title: as close as you can (not one inch less)
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Fandom: Supernatural RPF
Length: 11K
Rating: NC-17
Content notes: a lot of sex, stepbrothers having sex (no blood relationship), exhibitionism, Jared is 17
A/N: written for this prompt at the spn_masquerade. This is pure sex, not a single shred of redemptive value.


Summary: Everyone thinks that stepbrothers Jared and Jensen are just really affectionate with each other. The truth is that they get off on hiding in plain sight, pushing the limits of how far they can go in public and not get caught.

Second spn_masquerade fill. This one is a combo of three things I never thought I'd write. We live long enough to see all our predictions come to dust clearly. Big thanks to thetheatregirl7299 for her fast and helpful beta.

Title: Strangers in a Crowd
Fandom: Supernatural RPF
Pairing: Girl!Jensen/Jared
Rating: NC-17
Content notes: public sex, exhibitionism (sort of), graphic sex, stranger sex
