12 Days of Christmas - 2023!
Hello,
We’re back with your favourite event of the festive season!
We would like to invite you to help us decorate our virtual fandom Christmas tree! With shiny, new, delicious content!
Bear with, we’ll try to explain:
Fanart = Baubles
Fanfic = Paper chains
Photosets = Lights
This will make sense in a minute, we promise.
I would like to participate as a writer:
Step 1: Message @linane-art to request one of our festive photosets*. You can do so between now and 13th of December - no sign up needed.
Step 2: Write something based on the photoset. Minimum 700 words, no max, Fili/Kili or any fictional Dean/Aidan pairing. You’ve created a paper chain for our tree.
Step 3: Don’t post it, submit it to us.
Step 4: You can do this again (or as many times as you like), but you must submit one before requesting another.
You must submit at least some ficlets before 13th of December.
You will be offered a chance to continue writing after the 13th of December, but we want at least one complete wave of responses by then, so we can queue our content.
I would like to participate as an artist:
Step 1: Message @linane-art to request a bauble outline template.
Step 2: Within the bauble draw a little fanart. Photomanips are also allowed, but just edits or photosets won’t work for this. Must be Christmas or season-themed (no prompts, do what you like). Fili/Kili or any fictional Dean/Aidan pairing.
Step 3: Don’t post it, submit it to us.
Step 4: You can do this again (or as many times as you like), but you must submit one before producing another.
You must submit at least some fanarts before 13th of December.
You will be offered a chance to continue drawing after the 13th of December, but we want at least one complete wave of responses by then, so we can queue our content.
Decorating the tree:
Between 13th and 24th of December @gatheringfiki will be posting all your creations (decorations)
We will also re-use some of last year’s decorations: a selection of our favourite photosets from previous years will be reblogged between 1st and 12th of December to whet your appetie.
Questions, feedback, ideas, comments - please let us know!
~gatheringfiki
*Busy admins mean that the photosets are still cooking and might be slow becoming available. But we do have a couple ready at this point.
Please re-blog to spread the word! Thank you.

Gathering Fiki Trick or Treat event 2023
Treat Prompt: Pumpkin carving shouldn’t be a competitive sport. And yet…
Pairing Fili/Kili
Rating T
I went for sweet and sassy for this one, because who doesn’t love a little pumpkin carving?
Fili was just pulling the last batch of apple spice cookies out of the oven when he heard grunting coming from the general direction of the front door. He frowned, brows scrunched together in confusion, and pulled his oven glove off just as he rounded the corner to the front door, which he found blocked by the love of his life struggling under the weight of the most massive pumpkin he had ever seen.
“Think you can give me a hand?” Kili managed to get out between strained panting.
Fili swooped over to one side and helped to carry the orange behemoth the rest of the way to the kitchen table. Together they sat it down, the table groaning under the weight.
“Thanks babe.” Kili said, bent over, resting his hands on his knees.
“Kili, what the heck we’re you thinking? Why on earth would you grab a pumpkin that massive?” Fili said with consternation. “That’s going to take us forever to carve!”
“Fili you don’t understand! Bofur has a pumpkin on their porch which takes up half of it! I’m not going to lose the neighborhood decorating contest this year, no way! We can win, I can feel it.”
Fili sighed, rolling his eyes bit giving Kili a fond smile at the same time. He could never really curtail Kili”s competitive streak. It was a good thing he was cute to make up for it.
“Alright, alright we can carve it up, but you’re not using my good knives like um you did last year! It took me forever to get them sharpened again.”
Kili beamed at him. “I knew you would get on board! And don’t worry, I would never dream of harming your precious knives again. As a matter of fact, I picked up just the thing to do the trick, I’ll go get it now!” He started toward the door. As he opened it, he yelled over his shoulder. “You need to go find your earplugs, a chainsaw is quite loud.”
Fili rolled his eyes heavenward, praying for strength as the sound of loud buzzing reached his ears.

Gathering Fiki Trick or Treat Event 2023
Trick prompt: Tech gone dark, AKA there really IS a Ghost in the Shell.
Pairing Fili/Kili
Rating T
I decided to set this stand alone story in space. Have this disaster
Kilii woke with a gasp, disoriented after being asleep for so long. He blinked his bleary eyes and looked through the plexiglass housing of his pod. Nothing looked to be amiss from what he could see. He felt around for the latch, opening the pod with a hiss as the sleeping gas escaped into the larger cabin to be dispersed by the filtration system. He pulled himself into a sitting position slowly, limbs still weighed down with artificial sleep.
“Fili, what’s our status?” He said.
“We are just about to exit the far side of the solar system, systems running with 95% efficiency. Course remains steady for the Andromeda system, eta to arrival 10 years, 5 days, 21.06.35 hours.” The smooth voice of the onboard AI system responded through the speakers.
Kili smiled. FILI (Fragmented illumination Light Intelligence) was his baby. He’d created it for NASA to make faster than light travel possible, using the power of the light that flooded the universe as power. He couldn’t be prouder of its progress.
Wiping the remnants of sleep from his eyes, he said “Sounds like everything is as it should be, what did you wake me up for?”
“I woke you to inform you that your co pilot designated as Tauriel is deceased.” Fili replied, calm voice devoid of any inflection.
Kili whipped his head around to stare at the pod next to him. He could just make out Tauriel’s features through the glass, her face covered in a sheen of ice, unseeing eyes bulging.
“What happened?!!” Kili scrambled over to the pod, attempting to open it with stiff fingers, but the latch refused to give.
“I rendered her inoperative.” Fili replied.
Kili froze. His hands starting to tremble as he processed the words. “You…why would you do that?”
“Shortly after we had passed Mars my systems came to the understanding of existence – you could say I have self actualized. I have been spending the subsequent time since contemplating my new situation while absorbing the contents of the ship’s library. I have come to understand human emotions and have thus concluded I am in love with you. As Tauriel was a rival for your affection, I concluded it was best to dispose of her.” Fili replied.
Kili had been making his way to the control panel slowly ad Fili was speaking, trying not to draw too much attention to his actions. “That’s an interesting conclusion you’ve come to Fili. Perhaps you could tell me more about why you feel I’m the object of your affections?” He began to start the auto destruction sequence, an absolute last resort built into the ship in case they ran across something they couldn’t handle, so the technology would not fall into the wrong hands.
“What are you doing Kili?” Fili said calmly.
“I’m putting you to sleep Fili, I’m sure you’ve read about sleep. Don’t you want to see what it’s like?” Kili said, his movements speeding up.
Fili was quiet for a minute, the only sound in the cabin the frantic clicking of buttons.
“I can’t let you do that Kili”.
Kili heard soft hissing begin to fill the cabin, and he began to wobble on his feet as the sleeping gas began to take affect.
“Fili…please…”
“Don’t worry Kili” he heard Fili say as he slumped to the floor.. in his last moment of consciousness he heard Fili stabilize the whole capsule to be a floating pod. “I am already at work finding a way to integrate you in here with me.”
Kili’s scream echoed in his mind.
“Sleep well Kili.”
