Do you enjoy holiday fics and art?

What holiday fests are you excited about this year?

Is there a straight female character that you headcanon as lgbtq+?

How’s your progress with the yearly challenge? (You don’t have to answer publicly, but we’d love to hear from you.)

Give yourselves a huge pat on the back!

June: Vacation

a little vacation by Birdschach | 1680w

Fire Emblem Echoes: Mou Hitori no Eiyuu Ou//Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia | NC-17 | Anthiese|Celica/Mae

Mae thinks Celica is taking this whole adventure too seriously. They can afford to relax a little, right? After all, it's sort of like a vaction!

A Purr All Their Own by Kat Lee | 1344w

Batman, Avengers | PG-13 | Catwoman/Tigra

nothing but sun and sand by doctorkaitlyn | 1210w

Teen Wolf(TV) | G | Malia Tate/Kira Yukimura

[Masterpost] May

kiertorata — Tue, 04 Jul 2017 03:42:43 GMT

Here's the masterpost for May. June's post will be up in a few days! Thanks for your patience!

May: Happiness

Happiness by Melime | 1000w

Stargate SG-1 | PG-13 | Samantha Carter/Janet Fraiser

It happened like this: the life they never dreamed possible came true.

(Read in Portugese here.)

I too am disembodied by crookedspoon | 1617w

The Handmaid's Tale (TV) | PG-13 | Commander/Serena Joy, Serena Joy/Offred|June Osborn

Music is composed, a picture, a speech; you are a picture of composure, you used to compose speeches. You still do, sometimes, rarely, oh so rarely, for foreign dignitaries, praising the progression of your country, the country you helped form. It is what you profess to have faith in, yet faith has eluded you. It is a form without content. An act.

The Road to Happiness by Kat Lee | 1900w

X-Men | PG-13 | Rachel/Amara

The Trees Tell of the Sun by alamorn | 1026w

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them | G | Queenie Goldstein/Seraphina Picquery

to be a princess by harleyquinzel | 2047w

Fire Emblem: Kakusei // Fire Emblem: Awakening | G | Noire/Serena|Severa, Chrom/Tiamo|Cordelia

Severa never asked for the life she has, but she has to make do.

unexpected surprise by Birdschach | 1832w

Fire Emblem: If // Fire Emblem: Fates | NC-17 | Charlotte/Pieri|Peri

Charlotte never expected someone would try to court her. Or that it would work so well.

[Masterpost] March and April

kiertorata — Sun, 14 May 2017 12:18:30 GMT

Here's the masterpost for the March and April Monthly Challenges. Sorry for the wait!

March: Fantasy

a fox and a heroine by Birdschach | 1693w
Fire Emblem: If / Fire Emblem: Fates | NC-17 | Selkie/Ophelia
“Ho! Selkie, Kitsune Raised In Another World!” Ophelia calls out, to her playful comrade. “What brings you into the woods surrounding our Secret Haven on this fine day?”
“Hm? Ophelia? I just came out here to play!” Selkie says, as if that's the only possible answer. “What was all that stuff after my name? You can just call me Selkie, you know!”

Come That Day by Kat Lee | 1301w

X-Men | R | Mystique/Destiny

Fantasy by Melime | 1029w
Stargate SG-1 | R | Samantha Carter/Janet Fraiser
Sam fantasizes about Janet in uniform.
Read in Portuguese here.

something like a fairy tale by harleyquinzel | 1222w
Fire Emblem: Kakusei / Fire Emblem: Awakening | G | Tiki/Say'ri
The princess is kidnapped by the wicked dragon and stolen away, until a prince comes along to rescue her and slay the dragon. That's how the fairy tales go.

the rhythm of the night by doctorkaitlyn | 3944w

Riverdale (TV) | NC-17 | Betty Cooper/Veronica Lodge

This isn’t something that she’s ever really fantasized about, not in any real detail; on the rare occasions when Archie wasn’t the star of her inner mind’s show, the girls that floated into her head were always anonymous, composed of ever-changing facial features that were usually hidden beneath a thick layer of hair or buried between her legs.

She has a feeling that, if things keep going the way they are, the girl in her fantasies is going to have a very familiar face.

Or: the one where Betty and Veronica share a bed at a sleepover and share their second kiss (and then some).

April: Changes

change of clothes by harleyquinzel | 1135w
Fire Emblem: If / Fire Emblem: Fates | G | Corrin/Oboro
Corrin asks Oboro to design her a new outfit.

Changes by Melime | 1000w
Stargate SG-1 | PG-13 | Samantha Carter/Janet Fraiser
Things changed between them, of course they had to change, as the nature of their secret changed.
Read in Portuguese here.

future by Birdschach | 1696w
Fire Emblem: If / Fire Emblem: Fates | PG-13 | Charlotte/Nyx
Nyx wants to look into Charlotte's future, but the strong-willed fighter would rather take things as they come.

Peace and Harmony by punch_kicker15 | 1115w
Buffy the Vampire Slayer | PG-13 | Harmony Kendall/Buffy Summers
AU Post-Chosen (ignoring AtS season 5 and comics canon). Buffy just wants a peaceful night in, but Harmony has other ideas.

seasons change (but people don't) by doctorkaitlyn | 2340w

Teen Wolf (TV) | G | Malia Tate/Kira Yukimura

If it was anyone else she was picking up at the airport, even if it was her own family, she’d do the same thing she’s been doing for years: she’d make them come to her, meet her in the parking lot outside the arrivals gate.

But this isn’t just her family. This is her girlfriend.

This is Kira.

(or, the one where Malia hates airports but is willing to brave the chaos so that she can finally meet Kira in person.)

Some Things Never Change by Kat Lee | 1677w
Golden Girls | PG | Blanche/Dorothy

Things That Live and Grow by owlpockets | 2102w
Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening | PG-13 | Sigrun/Velanna
Sigrun realizes her late-night fantasies about her incredibly attractive elven companion might not be so far-fetched after all.

Kudos to everyone who created something! Once again, if we have missed your fic, please comment below of email us and we'll add your work to the list.

Better Together by ThatAloneOne | 5254

Carmilla (Web Series) | PG-13 | Laura Hollis/Carmilla Karnstein

Things always turn out for the better when Laura and Carmilla are together, no matter how it starts.

Better together when it starts worse, when it starts elsewhere, when it starts early, when it starts late, when it starts from the middle. Start from any time, any place, and they'll go far.

Come Spring by Shatterpath | 4039w

Supergirl (TV 2015) | PG-13 | Alex Danvers/Lena Luthor

There's a thrill in combat, in the strike of steel on steel and Alex knows it well. Could the connection with a stranger be equally as thrilling?

Contingencies by doctorkaitlyn | 2027w

Supernatural | PG-13 | Dorothy Baum/Charlie Bradbury

Charlie has no less than two dozen contingency plans for the zombie apocalypse. She's been preparing for this shit for years.

So go figure that she would sleep through the start of it and find herself backed into a corner, caught completely unaware and with only a tire iron as a weapon.

Thankfully, that's where the mysterious stranger with the old gun comes in.

Strangers by Melime | 1000w

Stargate SG-1 | PG-13 | Sam Carter/Janet Fraiser

They were strangers to one another, wearing familiar faces.
(Read in Brazilian Portuguese here.)
