The mood this year, as this header photo demonstrates, was Le Tired. Just physically and emotionally slogging along. Brain stuck on perpetual static. A pull-the-covers-over-my-head sort of year. I read a few books, watched a lot of shows, found new songs to listen to on repeat, and spent way too much time futzing around on Tumblr.

But that's not what this post is about! This is to remind myself that I did accomplish writer-ly things this year, even if it didn't feel like it sometimes. So here's my 2023 Fandom Year in Review:

Drarry

🐈 A Dreadful Invasion (of the Feline Persuasion) rated G | 6K words

Most of the time, it’s easy for Harry to forget that Draco Malfoy is his next-door neighbour—until the night Malfoy seemingly goes round the twist in his back garden. Of course Harry has to investigate. A birthday gift for @caroll-in.

🍷 Under the Table rated T, 4K words

A string of nearly-insufferable dinner parties has made Draco acquainted with Harry Potter’s completely insufferable, social-climbing boyfriend. But tonight it seems like Potter’s finally had enough, and Draco’s more than happy to watch it all play out from across the table.

Microfics: Different  |  Thalassophile  |  Role play  | Careless |  Mama’s Gun  |  Raven  |  You Should Probably Leave  |  Afraid of the Dark  |  Eerie

WIP progress: I added about 25K to my Drarry retelling of Howl's Moving Castle. The working title is "Skybound" and it will be about 55 to 60K words when complete (by spring 2024, god help me!). Featuring: lots of banter, secret identities, adventures and misadventures in a floating house, a plucky house-elf, and (of course) a fire demon who wants to make a bargain.

9-1-1 fics, HP recs, and 2023 highlights under the cut!

9-1-1/Buddie

🌧️ It pours, man it pours rated T | 11K words

An endless rainstorm. A head-on collision on a dark canyon road. Eddie and Buck find themselves stranded with a woman in labor after they’re cut off from the rest of the 118 by a flash flood. With the fate of their team unknown, can they weather the night ahead—and mend the rift Buck caused by trying to kiss his best friend?

💣 A Few Good Pranks rated T | 4K words

The firefighters of the 118 decide to give Bobby a turn at pranking them after seeing how disappointed he was to be left out. And since two heads are better than one, why not three? Or four? If only they could figure out who's pranking and who isn't, and who the intended victim is. It's all in good fun, though—as long as everyone is too distracted to notice that Buck and Eddie keep sneaking off alone.

❤️‍🩹Let It Be Me rated T | 1.8K words

After another Buckley Family reunion-turned-disaster, Buck makes a decision about his parents. Of course the 118 has his back. Or, Bobby employs some LAFD equipment to help Buck out—and tell him something he needs to hear.

Episode codas/fix-it ficlets: 1x01 | 1x03 | 2x01 | 2x03 | 6x10 | 6x11 | 6x12 | 6x13 | 6x15

WIP progress: First chapter of a season 3/canon divergence Buddie fic. Featuring: angst with a happy ending, a secret marriage of convenience, and pandemic bed sharing.

HP Rec List

I was inspired by this post to rec twelve favorite fan works from 2023 in twelve days in December. It actually took fourteen days, but I did it!

💖 12 Favorites from 2023 💖

(after posting those twelve, of course I thought of a few more faves that I missed. I'll try to share them soon!)

2023 Highlights

I'm so very grateful for the wonderful, funny, imaginative people here who shared their creative works, the memes that made them laugh, photos of their pets, gif sets of shows I didn't know I needed to watch, and insights into the characters we love. You all got me through the year, honestly.

I had a good time doodling some Halloween treats for Inbox Trick-or-Treating. I hope it will become an annual Tumblr event! Thanks to the folks who rang my doorbell that night and the other blogs who gave out treats.

I truly treasured every kudos, comment, and rec I received this year. I was also very fortunate to receive a few special gifts:

🎙️ EllaMcSmellBella recorded a Podfic of "Spooked in Salem," my Drarry 'Round the World fic.

🎙️ Spades/bumblingbees recorded a Podfic of "Crimson Neon."

📕 @cheriecherishchen wrote a lovely rec for "Vortex" and designed gorgeous book covers for that fic and its sequel, "Riptide."

✏️ @saijordison drew this incredible piece of art for "Riptide."

And finally, if you read all the way to the end of this post, I'm grateful for YOU. 😁

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and an excellent 2024!

#but i had a thought#do we think eddie really doesn't remember or did he say what buck needed to hear?

Oh, babe, don't get me started on this because I have so many thoughts laskoaksaoks there are a few possibilities there: Eddie really doesn't remember, he remembers something he can't tell Buck for whatever reason, he remembers something that would upset Buck at that moment. But there's also a lot to consider. In my fantasy land I exist in a space where they'll do what was done in castle when Kate gets shot, Castle says he loves her and then she says she doesn't remember because she's not ready to deal with the feelings yet and that will come up again. Because since I'm a "the shooting is Eddie's oh moment" truther and Buck is in a very vulnerable place, he wouldn't admit to it, so to say he only remembers the basics is what he thinks is best for Buck, since Buck is not in a place to receive that confession or maybe Eddie is not ready to say it yet. But it is a possibility that Eddie says that he doesn't remember because what he remembers is Buck and that would just upset Buck. And it's not even that far off, to say if he does remember something, he remembers Buck, because Buck was the one that went to get him, Buck is the one who got him in the truck, Buck is the one applying pressure, so for his focus to be solely on Buck is plausible and kind of expected, but to say "oh, all I remember is you" would not give Buck what Buck needed at that moment, it open a different wound, for both of them really. And there's also the layer that Eddie is uniquely placed to understand how it was for Buck to get him at moment, and Buck is not coping, so he could've also done some projecting and decided "I'm not gonna be the one to trigger him here, not when he came to me for safety" and just, lied to protect him.

So basically, I think he remembers and didn't want to confess, a little "I can't tell you what I remember because what I remember are my feelings about you and I can't tell you that now maybe at all", I accept there's a chance he remembers and said he didn't because he didn't want to trigger Buck further since he's already in a really raw state of mind since he died. There's also always the he's telling the truth and he doesn't remember scenario. That one could stay that way and he never remembers or they could trigger him in some way and extend the conversation further. But, personally, I'm a he's lying believer.

Darling we're on the same wavelength lol!

That man definitely remembers and I too am a believer in the shooting being his "oh" moment. He reaches for Buck twice. Twice! And I absolutely adore that he didn't lose consciousness until he knew Buck was safe.

I absolutely love that they allowed Eddie to be Buck's safe space. Eddie knows exactly what Buck's going through (to an extent, I mean he didn't actually die but still.) He gets it. He had no idea how to process his survival. (Drag and drop Buck into Frank's office already I'm begging at this point.) (Frank's my hero honestly.)

If they play it out and have Eddie remember I might have a coronary. That is my ideal scenario. Something could happen to trigger those memories, for either or both, and it could be an excellent opportunity for them to talk about something they've been avoiding since it happened.

If Eddie really doesn't remember, I wouldn't be surprised, but he's hidden things from Buck before (*cough cough* will) so I'm fairly certain he remembers. But even saying he did would've revealed way too much to Buck. Buck didn't need a confession on top of his death- which he's still refusing to process- so Eddie gave him what he needed at the time.

I wonder how they would bring that up again, if they do at all. They could respond to a shooting, or a bad call where best friends have a similar experience, or even respond to a call on that street. I just think it would be so wonderful if they actually ran with it. 6x12 was the first time Eddie actually talked about it, especially to Buck, and I think now that Eddie's in therapy he could be more open to talking about it.

And honestly the body language is what makes me really think he remembers and is protecting Buck. He doesn't look at Buck while he describes it until he says "this is it- this is the last moment of my life." THAT RIGHT THERE tells me he remembers. He avoids eye contact the rest of the time he's talking about it and subtly shakes his head. Hmmmmm.

I dunno. Anything about the shooting makes me go feral so... yeah.

A scenic country road, route 416, winds its way through the valley, mirroring the course of the stream. Steeped in history, the valley bears witness to its strategic importance through the centuries, as evidenced by the imposing castles that crown the hilltops, standing sentinel from both sides of the border. Today, the fertile plains are adorned with a patchwork of crops, including winter wheat, sunflowers, maize, tobacco, alfalfa, and vegetables. Verdant vineyards and silvery olive groves grace the slopes, while lush forests clothe the surrounding hills in myriad shades of green. Life in the Niccone Valley remains closely intertwined with the rhythms of nature, as farmers tend to their fields and orchards, while towns along the road offer essential supplies and local delights.

CASTLE - “DEEP COVER” (SEASON 6, EPISODE 12)

castle 6x12 deep cover

the castle's dad episode liveblog

Hm, leaves the phone off the hook but lmao how slow he called 911

It rained on my mom & dad's wedding. They didn't care about the superstition that you can't see the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding so they took all the pictures they needed & when it rained & her dress may have gotten muddy it didn't matter.

but yeah lol this is what it's like planning to have your kid's bday.

Martha <3

MARTHA

(clears her throat) A little unsolicited advice –

CASTLE

Do you give another kind?

BECKETT gives him a look, but MARTHA ignores him.

MARTHA

In life, there is no such thing as a perfect time for anything.

She turns away. They’re confused.

CASTLE

I’m sorry, that’s advice how?

MARTHA

(scoffs) Don’t wait. Hell, just go down to city hall right now. You love each other. Stop talking about it. Just do it.

She turns back to her coffee. CASTLE and BECKETT look at each other, considering her idea.

I thought this was where they had the "we got married!" "seriously!?!?" part I saw in gifs.

Yes, I have a feeling esposito DOES know Beckett can lift her... whatever you were going to say

Hello? Nothing.

Yeah I noticed too, his place is beautiful

Oh yeah no grease won't come out.

RC: Sounds like a case of Weekend At Bernie’s gone wrong. (they look at him) No. No, wait. That would mean there’s such a thing as Weekend At Bernie’s gone right.

Maybe he ties one left handed & ties one right handed.

My dad's house-- no my great aunt's house had a loose floorboard but there was no space under it. You couldn't fit anything under there. It just gave you splinters. You know, the house at the farm kind of sucked.

lmao the animation is hilarious

JE: One you can’t crack? (he leans over her shoulder) C’mon genius bar, I thought you were the best. *flirtatiously*

& they didn't see the criminal record? otr wait ig he was a minor so it was sealed.

He’d call it ‘pulling a Robin Hood’.

love it

RYAN u know, pat leave could have been a good excuse to send the actor away for a collaboration with one of abc's other shows for a week so he doesn't have to be in this ep.

rc: Now, Ted’s laptop is like Fort Knox on steroids, but Tori found some unscrambled artifacts in the registry to a service set identifier. (off BECKETT’S impressed look) I don’t know what that means either, but she got really excited about it.

( A sec later) RC: Now, according to the website, Universal Banking Solutions handles strategic and tactical procurements for international clients.

KB: And what does that mean?

RC: I – I don’t know. I’m just reading the screen there.

I would have given the phone to becks immediately

Dad?

Not a word!

Man's obv lying

I thought becks recognized him bc he looked like castle.

Castle just staring into space lol

KB: mentions international espionage

RC: we have no information to speculate

LP: approximately 15 minutes before his death Ted at clams and funnel cake. Can you believe that? Ugh.

KB: Lanie, you slice open dead people for a living and you’re grossed out by that?

It's different!

Is clams is carnival food...???

LP: Okay, you two creep me out when you do that shared brain thing.

Love the c being burnt out

love how they are eating funnel cake XD

& ryan eats esposito's funnel cake while wearing his crime scene gloves dkjlsdjkfs

GIANT BUBBLES

*checks his watch* about 40 years

That doesn't seem likely. He'd hire soeone else.

He said to text lol

"leave a message >:("

JE: Castle.

RC startles. RC: Geez!

JE: Man, bro. Why are you so jumpy?

RC: Dude, I’m not. I’m just –

JE: Well, you will be once you hear what we found. C’mon.

"you will be" that's such a thing to say

FORMER?

HITMAN?

castle your version of emergency might not be the same as anderson cross's

KB: U ok?

RC: .. Yeah

Me: you can say "meh this case is putting me on edge"

Ryan ADHD moments just chewing on a paperclip

I was a little busy getting shot

Cross: Did you bring the booze?

RC: Did you bring the booze?

Cross: No. I want you to steady your nerves. Take a swig.

RC: Good idea.

*martha drinks too*

Reminds me of my autosurgery

I love the sound of someone's hand in a tub of mayonnaise. & the music is good too

"at elast this time I got a needle" WHAT

she's right, he made that choice a long time ago

Wow the cia just hired a kid who was arrested for identity theft & got him killed? Sounds about right.

it IS a good story

Lol gun battle

Cross: I was in spycraft a car chase!

Becks: lol no

the news: There was a car chase!

Becks: that doesn't prove it

Esposito: Ted was a spy. also the car chase.

So that's cool

also wow nice colourful computers. & wow nice Ryan being the techy one of the four

(Ooh & the csu techs have their own background & lives & motions & stuff)

KR: idk someone stole the hard drive

Anderson Cross: *holds up hard drive* :D :D

"that's incredeibly illegal"

"yep"

Beckett wants lto go? she wants to... Ok then.

Ok but copy-paste the password in

MR: You can find a spy on your phone?

RC: Mother, there’s an app for everything now.

You can't promise that. You cannot contrl gemini or the buyer.

But I know what he means by that promise

she DOES have juice

Call ur mom then

oh my gosh please just control c control v the password

3 minutes for that much content? rly?

speed dial

I have those glasses... or work does

castle if ur mom is calling u better answer bc she is relevant to this

left the phone book & laptop. becks can see "hang up or i'll kill you"

*appears out of nowhere*

HE JUST KILLED HIM

i mean ig that was the mission...

*remembering that time castle "randomly" hugs esposito in a future season*

"the way you never let anything happen to ted?"

true

Beckett & castle are not telling them that he's dead? I mean they can't bc then they'd have t o tell abt anderson cross. but also wait. how would they be able to tell it was tony blaine in the first place w/o revealing that it was castle's dad?

Work you for information or beckett is right, he wanted to spend time with you...

FAMILY FSKLDFJSDLJK

She's so happy
