2022 Masterlist
Happy Halloween my darlings :D
It’s a wrap for us this year -- thank you so much to our participants, you guys have given us some lovely art and stories this round. Now, as the evening gathers round on this October evening, it’s time to settle in and enjoy some dark stories.
Requiem by enteselene | art by ncdover1285
Every town kid goes to Mirror Pool at least once. It's a dare. A rite of passage. Let's see if you're brave enough to look into the Mirror. Poke the ghost who inhabits there. Everyone goes once… and no one goes twice. They forget that the pool is there and push awareness to the back of their minds, to the same place where childhood terrors and the monster in the closet are banished as years go by. That hidden corner of oblivion from where the dread will resurface later when one is walking down a lonely alley at night and thinks they hear whispers in the dark. Fears buried deep, but not erased.
Trouble by hunter_king | art by emmatheslayer
After  taking on the responsibility of a troubled you, the Padalecki’s start to see a change in their son’s behavior. Their once vibrant, happy teen  seems to have built a wall around himself, curling in on himself and  becoming introverted. Any time they ask Jared about it, he shuts down.  And getting any information out of Jensen is like pulling teeth. It  leaves them wondering if bringing Jensen into their home was the right  decision. It was it the beginning of their worst nightmare?
The Red Means I Love You by 1bad_joke | art by Bluefire986
Jared and Jensen have been happily married for years, but a debilitating diagnosis threatens to take that all away. Jared does what he can to help, but at the end of the day, there's no saving his husband. It's almost a miracle when a mysterious pharmaceutical group seeks Jensen's participation in an even more mysterious drug trial. At first, the little, red pills are a blessing, but Jensen is changing, and Jared is going to learn just how far he's willing to go for love.
After all, the label did say there would be side effects.
A Promise Made by jdl71 | art by NCDover1285 
Jensen made a promise to Jared - to always be his. Jared intends to hold Jensen to his promise, no matter what. It doesn’t matter to Jared that time and distance have separated him from Jensen. It doesn’t matter to Jared that he’s been remanded to an institution for the criminally insane. What matters to Jared is Jensen and he will do anything to be reunited with the man he loves.

20th Century Boy
A 12-page IWTV (2022 series) fancomic about the Vampire Armand, Daniel, Devil’s minion era, sex, drugs and rock n' roll.
Content mentions & warnings: drug use, light angst, mentions of sex & death.
Fancomic by verimuru and anonymous, 2024.
Some notes about the comic below:
This comic is based on my partner's brilliant fanfiction. They wished to remain anonymous, but the story idea was theirs. I am just a humble servant.
Neither of us speak English as our first language, so of course after finishing I see a hundred things to tweak in the dialogue... but decided to leave it the way it is, for now. So! If you, dear reader, find clunky sentences and weird mistakes and would possibly like to help us in the future, send me an ask. ;-)
My partner said that banging in an elevator while listening T.Rex on repeat is a plothole because they couldn't do that, but I disagree. They would find a way.
Idk where Louis is - probably left Dubai. Daniel got some of his memories back, not sure how yet. Lots of inspiration was taken from GrayGiantess' fics, but this work is not based on them (just an encouragement for everyone to read them).
I got into this ship, like, less than 100 hours ago. I got possessed by a demon, blinked, and suddenly I made a comic. I have seen the first season of the IWTV 2022 adaptation and everything else I know about the canon is hearsay, whispers in the forest and an Eldritch demon telling me its tales. Consider me as a little fledgling.
And finally, the songs in order by T.Rex are: Get it on, 20th Century Boy, Free Angel and Cosmic Dancer. Rest in piece, Marc Bolan, and thank you for everything.
I'll make an PDF for itch.io... later, now I need to sleep.
We would love a comment or an ask, so my box is open. Hope you enjoy. <3
UPDATE on 24th of March, 2024: I fixed Armand's skin tone on two pages (I had missed a couple spots).

HAPPY OFMD BIG BANG ANNIVERSARY TO MY FIC!
Tumblr media
Last year, I signed up for @ofmdbigbang and wrote a 60K Lovecraftian AU. @tealtumbleweed has a masterpost for their art, btw, it's great.
We got the 30th of September 2022 as a posting date, making today the one-year anniversary!
Title: Luctor et Emergo: The Call of Edthulhu (I added 'the' to Call of Edthulhu later on to make it fit better with The Vacation of Edthulhu)
Pairings: Stede/Edthulhu, background Lucius/Pete, background Jim/Oluwande
Summary: Stede pulled a face at that. “Hm, well, I don’t want to do any human sacrifices.”
“Kinda rule number one of being in a cult,” Pete scoffed.
“Ah! Not in this cult!” Stede beamed at him and looked around expectantly. “Remember? What’s our number one rule?”
Roach raised his hand. “Don’t sacrifice my chicken.”
“Not quite number one, but still high up,” Stede replied. “Swede?”
“Stick to the chore schedule?”
“Definitely in the top ten.” There were no more hands, and he sighed. “Come on! If we want to get a good result, we talk about it…”
“As a cult,” the others chorused, some more reluctant than others.
AKA the Lovecraftian AU no one asked for!
In which High Priest Stede struggles with nosy Badmintons, his cultists and the Spanish Inquisition. Meeting Edthulhu makes everything better. Now Stede just has to help the eldritch deity emerge fully into this world. It'll be fine! Probably!
And also, obviously there is tentacle sex ;)
Read on if you want a bit more background/knowledge humankind was not meant to know ooooh AKA slight spoilers for my fic
My initial big bang idea was a canon divergence for ep 8, where Stede and Oluwande would bond over being left behind and the crew would drag them on a terrible pubcrawl to cheer them up. They'd run into Ed and Jim, and obviously there'd be shenanigans. It's still in my WIPs somewhere.
But I got involved in a discussion about Stede as a Lovecraftian cultist to eldritch Ed, and I've played a lot of Call of Cthulhu, a TTRPG. So I thought, oh, maybe Stede and his crew as terrible investigators going after Edthulhu's cult led by High Priest Izzy!
But then I realised that no, the original idea was right. Stede and his crew as terrible cultists vs High Priest Izzy who is very dedicated to Edthulhu.
Outlining and plotting involved going over s1 to see which bits I wanted to take, and how to set them up properly so they'd still work.
I still wanted Stede to have similar character beats to canon, so he gets some growing confidence after besting Izzy before meeting Edthulhu, then grows overconfident when making deals at Spanish Jackie'z and requires Edthulhu to rescue him. Figuring out WTF to do with the hostage plotpoint was fun :p.
Also, spoilers, the Spanish Inquisition turns up (NOBODY EXPECTS THEM!!). But I actually kind of forgot about them while outlining. I thought, okay, I need the deal at Jackie'z to go badly. I need a group of people who can attack cultists, so there's some witchhunting/religious persecuting going on, and I'd like them to be Spanish to go with canon.
So I googled something like 'Spanish witchhunt' and my first result was Spanish Inquisition and I felt really dumb for having forgotten them.
Once Stede and Edthulhu meet, there aren't as many parallels because I had to get them to Atlantis and raise Edthulhu, but obviously Stede and Edthulhu have cute moments, Stede rescues Edthulhu, Jackstur turns up, and Mary and Doug are surprisingly okay with everything!
And then everyone gets to find happiness, including Izzy!
My main takeaway for this year's Big Bang was that I had to plan my writing better, as I was still writing close to my deadline, and that I had to aim for something shorter. And for this year, I succeeded at both those goals!

How about a 10 - 14 - 29 for rhe AO3 wrapped?
10. What work was the quickest to write?
Hm. That would be c’mon baby, let’s fall in love in october, the Halloween Silverflint corn maze mod au that I wrote in one weekend as a challenge to myself. Turns out if I push I really can bang all of those words out for a one shot in 3 days. 🎃
14. What’s your shortest work of the year?
imagine being loved by me, the weird Daniel POV Eldritch poetry I published for 1899 (tv). Most of it technically got written in 2022 I just added a line or so and edited it. It's 544 words.
29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?
Well I finished Break Up AU at the beginning of the year so that's probably going to be the winner. XD
From the very last chapter--
"The relationship has been inexorably sinking, the foundation built on nothing but shifting sand from the outset, now eroded away such that they are one wrong step from catastrophe, from sliding into the sea.
But can he truly walk away? No matter how doomed, he is afraid nothing will ever be as good as this, as good as it was in the beginning. He’d glimpsed it for but a moment, their potential, shifting darkly in a mirror, like the reflection of a shadow just over your shoulder. A flash, a facet, of something, but when you turn your head it's gone. If you stare too close, it disappears. An optical illusion. A paradox."
The runner up is from milkingfic--
"Perhaps it’s not so complicated though–Silver is the same as the remora fish, seeking out the largest, sharpest-toothed predator in the sea to latch himself to, to hide behind, for his continued safety. Though, no, that’s far too uncharitable, he corrects himself. The remora is unfailingly helpful, carrying its weight equally, its sucking mouth the cure to all ailments which may beleaguer the shark."

Thank you 💜

2022 Writing Summary
Spotify Wrapped started a Craze on the internet and I'm going to do my own version of it for writing! As of this moment...
Words Written: 304,211
Words Published/Posted: 210,507
Works Started: 8 on AO3, 3 unposted
Works Finished: 4 on AO3
Ideas Jarred/Canned/Shelved: 14 on the list, although I'm sure I've lost a lot more
Work Of The Year Award: I'm going to go with The Cosmos Within Us because it's the completed one, although Two Halves of a Whole is a very close second. I wrote Cosmos for a big bang event and was matched with an artist who would, over the course of the event and beyond, become one of my bestest friends ever and also my co-conspirator on multiple other works (which I hope to make substantial progress on next year). The Cosmos Within Us is a 23k Stardust fusion with a couple of minor NPCs in the starring roles (although let's be real they're major characters in my heart). Morlund's a fallen star and Abadund's a lonely guy just trying to find his dad. There's dancing, swordplay, eldritch horrors, and cats.
One goal for next year: Finish what I started this year ;)

На самом-то деле зубы ничего и не значат. Зубы были чем-то между тем, чем была Мелиан — и тем, чем она стала; зубы — остановка на пути, где она переносила свою сущность в тело — в новое, в тело, о котором было задумано, что хищным оно не станет. (Или, возможно, станет. Тингол не знает).
«Извини, — говорила Мелиан ему в губы. (И кровь капала с подбородка. Его кровь.) — Я только такой способ и знаю».
«Такой способ» — когда текла кровь. Когда алое брызгало в реку. Пока под его пальцами перья плавились и вминались в кожу, был миг — между богом и богом, облёкшимся плотью, — когда возник мех.

Best New Heavy Metal Releases Week of September 2nd, 2022
Another week with a ton of great albums being released. Two MAJOR releases from two of the top Metal bands in the world. Unfortunately, when this happens, it casts a bit of shadow on some of the not as well known bands out there but that is where I come in. I won’t overlook them and I will pass on that information to you. With as long as last week’s post was, I am attempting to make this one shorter even though I once again have 10 highly deserving albums in the highlight section.
Blind Guardian-The God Machine (Power)**
I honestly do not believe that Blind Guardian has a bad album. There is, however, some variance to just how good some are compared to others. I think most would agree the band’s Magnum opus is “Nightfall in Middle Earth”. Using that as a gauge and looking at all their other records, this one falls squarely in the very upper reaches and I would contend this is the best album they have done since Nightfall. This is the Pick of the Week and it could very well be my album of the year. There are still 3 months to go but this album is absolutely incredible and it will take a pretty special record to top this. Avantasia has one coming out soon…..
Megadeth-The Sick, The Dying…and The Dead (Thrash/Heavy)**
From one of the best Blind Guardian albums in 20 years to one of the best Megadeth albums in 20 years. This album is getting quite a few rave reviews out there and I will agree mostly with a lot of what people are saying. I have one issue with this album, however. The songwriting borrows quite a bit from previous Megadeth albums. You may not notice it at first, but on repeated listens you will pick it out if you are a fan of their previous albums. For example, “We’ll Be Back” borrows pretty heavily from the song “Black Friday”. Either way, this album is still a complete banger and definitely worthy of being in the highlight section.
Whitespade-Whitespade (Heavy/Speed)**
Do you like the band Midnight? How could you not? Do you like the band Motorhead? Pretty sure if you are a metal head, this is a requirement. Well, here you have Midnight paying homage to Motorhead and holy shit, do they ever nail it. This album sounds like an album that should have come out right around the “Bomber” and “Ace of Spades” Motorhead albums. Incredibly fun album. Don’t miss this one.
Ensanguinate-Eldritch Anatomy (Death)**
Debut album from this Death Metal band out of Slovenia and I swear it sounds like this band is 4 or 5 albums in already. This is old school Death Metal but with plenty of modern flourishes here. Now and then you will get a tinge of Black Metal if you listen closely. This gives it a bit of an angrier tone (as if Death Metal needed that…lol). Killer guitar work, drums with fills for days and vocals that verbally assault you. A band to definitely keep an eye out for. If the debut is this good I can only imagine what we might get in the future.
Aeternam-Heir of the Rising Sun (Symphonic Death/Folk)**
I have been a BIG fan of this band for quite some time. To be completely honest, if this album had come out damn near any other week, it would have taken the top spot easily. If there is one word to truly express where the band feels to be at on this album, that word is CONFIDENCE. This band has this Symphonic Melodic Death Metal down to an absolute science. There is no wasted space on any of the songs on display here. Everything sounds perfectly placed and delivered with the aforementioned confidence. This album will take you on a journey you may not want to come back from. Best album of their career and that is saying something when you look at the quality of their releases.
That will do it for this week and I actually feel bad about cutting it off there as the other 5 highlight albums are incredible as well. So much incredible music! Until next week and, as always,
BANG THY HEAD!!!
All worthy of a listen if you like the genre
*= standout in that genre
**=best of the week regardless of genre
Best of the Week

Pure Massacre-Pure Massacre (Death/Thrash)**

Silence Before the Storm-The End of Sanity (Melodic Death/Groove)
No surprise here as Blind Guardian take the top spot with 5 I wish I actually had that many bulldogs out of a possible 5!

For the WIP game: Tell us about "Stede and Olu get their groove back", please!
This was my original plan for the 2022 OFMD Big Bang, but then I was hit by the 'what if Ed was an eldritch deity and Stede was a slightly rubbish priest in the 1920s and also the rest of the crew worships Edthulhu' idea I wrote instead.
Stede and Olu Get Their Groove Back is an s1e8 canon divergence where Stede and Oluwande bond over being abandoned by their love interests (it was not a break-up because they were never together!! Woe is them!!) and Lucius decides to cheer them up by dragging them on a post-not-break-up pub crawl.
(and then during the pub crawl Oluwande would run into Jim, and Stede would run into Ed, and there would be shenanigans.)
Below, the crew being extremely sympathetic to Stede's and Oluwande's plight:
Roach raises his hand. “Do we all need to have suffered a not-break-up to go on this pub crawl?”
“Do we need to crawl the entire time?” Wee John adds. “Because I’d rather walk while I can.”
“The whole point of a pub crawl is to end the night crawling, so sure, walk while you can. I don’t care,” Lucius replies. “And Roach, you don’t need to have your heart broken to join us, but it helps!”
Pete sits up at that. “Babe, are you breaking up with me?”
Stede nudges Oluwande when Pete’s lip actually wobbles, and Oluwande smiles.
“No! Babe, you know I wouldn’t!” Lucius rushes over to take Pete’s hands. “Although, considering our captain’s fragile state—”
Stede coughs pointedly, nodding at Oluwande, who rolls his eyes.
“And our crew mate’s fragile state, I was getting to that, actually!” Lucius huffs at Stede before smiling at Pete again. “I think we should lay off the PDA for now.”
“Aww.” Pete pouts. “Can I still join for the pub crawl?”
“Actually, how about you all go on a pub crawl, and Captain and I stay on the ship?” Oluwande says, and Stede gasps in feigned surprised as if they haven’t discussed that earlier that morning after waking up.
“What a splendid idea, Olu! Yes, you can all go on shore leave, and we’ll hold down the fort. Ship. Ship fort.” He gives his crew an encouraging smile.
Lucius shakes his head. “It’s not a proper post-not-break-up pub crawl if the two people who have not broken up aren’t joining!”

got any horror fics? hopefully sbi, but anything else is fine too
yep!
here they are:
It's dark again (it always was) by marshrooms [Rated T, 8586 words, incomplete, last updated January 2022]
“Who’s there? Do you have Tommy?” Phil asked desperately, terror seeping into his tone. “Who is this? Give me – give me back my son. Tommy-”
The phone exploded with a bang, Phil pulling back just in time. He dropped it in shock. The phone swung from the cord, blackened and smoking.
“Dad- Dad!” Wilbur yelled, snapping Phil out of his horror – induced haze. Phil looked up at his sons, their faces frantic and worried. “Was that Tommy? Did you hear him speak?”
“No, no – he just- he just breathed, Wil. I know it was him, but - he sounded so scared -”
Wilbur cut him off with a hug, wrapping his arms around him. Techno stepped forward hesitantly, and Phil pulled him in too. They crouched on the floor in a huddle together.
“At least we know he’s alive.” Phil murmured. “We can find him.”

(Stranger Things AU)
devil town by hoorayy [Rated M, 100526 words, complete]
The night Tommy disappeared, it went like this:
Tubbo screamed the words that became his goodbye. He can’t accept that Tommy is gone, because that would be accepting that the last words they exchanged were angry and intended to hurt. So he doesn’t accept it. He’ll search for years if he has to.
Techno let Tommy leave without so much as trying to stop him. He’s replayed the memory of that night and wished he’d done anything else, until he thinks the guilt might be enough to destroy him. He thinks he might already be on his way there.
And Quackity can’t help but feel like this is all just a bitter echo. This town is cursed, and Tommy is only its latest victim.
Hollowed Homes by Lisbis [Rated M, 31602 words, incomplete, last updated January 2022]
“Are you open?” The thing with golden eyes and a yellow sweater and a face a bit too human asks. Tommy’s hands curl into fists. “Sorry, mate,” he mutters tiredly, tearing his gaze away. A headache flares between his eyes, and his words sound near inaudible compared to the song of open, open, open the door- “Spots already taken.” It blinks, and the music screeches. “What?” “The spot of monster bitch that’s going to kill me, torture me, whatever. It’s been taken. And I have a store to close.”
Or: Tommy is just trying to hunt monsters, get revenge, and then finally die in peace. That all would be a lot easier, of course, if said monsters would stop being so fucking nice.
I Asked for a Monster and You Gave Me a Fairytale by Anonymous [Rated M, 64188 words, incomplete, last updated January 2022]
Tommy had suffered on and off throughout his life from hanahaki, which sort of happens to someone who trusts too much and always gets their hopes crushed. Tommy just wants someone to actually care about him, but he knows he's not going to get that, especially not with Dream and not with how the disease has been getting worse.
Dying and defeated, Tommy's only solace comes in the form of weird eldritch singing emanating from the forest outside his window. He knows that whatever it is will likely be a cannibalistic cryptid from his worst nightmares, but somehow Tommy can't find it in himself to care. Any death will be better than suffocating alone.
Or
Tommy is on a quest to get killed by unknown monsters instead of the ones he does know. This is somehow more difficult than it should be.

Fic Writer wrapped - 2021 edition
Tagged by the esteemed @dandunn!
How many stories did you complete?
11, though I started 12 (one’s not done)
What is your total word count for the year?
Evidently it’s 52,999 which is kind of a tease. I know the way ao3 counts words is different from other places though so it’s roughly 53,000, give or take some. I write very slow.
What fandoms did you write for?
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the Mysterious Island (on a technicality, it was a TKLUTS fic that was crossed over with that), Shakespeare’s Henry VI Part 3 (for a fic exchange), Lupin III, and Deltarune.
Did you write more, less, or roughly about what you expected?
Honestly, less. I used to be able to do Nanowrimo and could bang out 50k or more in a month. Now it takes me a whole year to reach that amount. I don’t think the quality of my writing has gotten worse, but I just don’t have the stamina I used to. Feels bad Scoob
What's your favourite story of the year?
I love After the Nautilus and consider it to be one of my favorite fics I’ve ever written, but I also kinda ended up adoring There Is A Man Here?
Also Smoke and Moonlight. I just wrote a lot of awesome shit this year
What's your most underappreciated story of the year?
After the Nautilus really didn’t get much attention at all, but I think that’s because no one except for like 8 people have ever read The Mysterious Island, so maybe for the size of the fandom, 160ish hits is pretty good? 
Also Smoke and Moonlight and Promises to Keep are some of my favorite Lupin III fics despite them being the two least popular. 
Biggest fanfic-related disappointment of the year?
I think when I posted my fic exchange story and it got less than 100 hits, that hurt a little. But the Rose Tetralogy is not a popular Shakespeare series and so I get it, I was just like... man, I wrote all that for that?
Biggest fanfic-related surprise of 2021?
I actually got 1,000 hits on a work of my own this year! That’s never happened before, I’m not used to getting so much attention!
Something you look forward to working on in 2022?
Kinda excited to see where my second Deltarune fic goes, if anywhere. It doesn’t have a working title yet, just half a chapter and a premise.
Tagging: @3wisellamas, @eldritch-elrics, @bookshop-cryptid, @seagoing-nerd and anyone else who wants to!
