I'm posting a fantasy adventure story.

Out, Brief Candle by Blueinkedfrost

Swords, sorcery, blood, and destiny. A bored young noblewoman is weary beyond words of her life of tedious parties and petty bullying. She thinks she's found a chance to rebel when she dances with a mysterious man in black at the Grand Dukes' ball. Little does she know she'll get far more than she bargained for, when she's drawn into the blood-soaked saga of the bastard children of the dead god of murder.

This is just about as close as I come to writing romance, which is to say 'Will They Or Won't They' is settled in chapter two, and then the murders begin.

I've finished posting a long fic, complete at 60,000 words. It's an alternate universe with superpowers, a fantasy kitchen sink, and a giant toad.

Chandler and a Death Foretold by Blueinkedfrost (AO3)

Heather McNamara gets possessed by ghosts in the cafeteria. Heather Duke reads tarot cards. Heather Chandler knows they're both faking it, until she gets a prophecy about her own death. To avoid her own murder at her best friend's hands, Chandler recruits a co-conspirator - the new kid in town, Jason Dean. Chandler/J.D., Veronica/Duke.

Fanfiction.Net

This is probably the only Heathers fanfic in existence where Chandler battles a giant toad in a game of insults. This is probably a good thing. (As I had to reassure my friend, it was strictly a PG-13 rated toad.)

I've finished posting a long fanfic, complete at 49,000 words. It's a ghost hunting alternate universe written for Heathers (1988).

Eyes, Blood, and Ashes
by Blueinkedfrost

Veronica Sawyer can see ghosts but cannot fight them. Jason Dean has hunted the ghosts he cannot see since he was a child. When they meet at Westerburg High and dead bodies start piling up around them, they need to rely on each other’s abilities to fight a particularly ambitious and deadly ghost who’s out for their blood.


Archiveofourown

I'm still proud of how passively and innocently I phrased 'dead bodies start piling up around them', as if these dead bodies are just randomly turning up with no agency from the protagonists whatsoever. For these two characters, homicide is their idea of a fun Friday date night. They're like the Murder Twins, only they're not twins.

These three amazing stories were written for me at Yuletide.

Be as blest as thou can bear
by harborshore (Mansfield Park)

Five times Fanny Price said no.

This fic combines Fanny Price with magic - magic that's utterly Fanny's, gentle and quiet and under-the-surface magic that's incredibly powerful when it's needed. Fanny Price shows secret heroism in the magical world. It's a beautifully written story.

The Sky Through The Secret Door by Estirose (Defender's Quest)

Everybody is in danger because of Bakal's mistake, but his heart feels heaviest when he looks at Azra Livbar.

Defender's Quest is a fabulous browser game - it's tower defence crossed with RPG and it's got a fun storyline starring a librarian.

This story takes on one of the best characters in the game (although I kind of think they're all the best) - Bakal, the old monk seeking redemption for unintentionally helping to cause the current apocalypse while he sought to win a war. Once royalty, now a humble monk researching the past and striving to make things right again while struggling with his own death wish, he mentors protagonist Azra on her journey. This fic captures Bakal and his meditations so very on-point. It's the first fic for this fandom and it's such a good one!

Unto the Restless by FireEye (Baldur's Gate)

Irenicus is dead but his evil lives on.

This is a gorgeous dark story with a great premise. The ongoing effects of Irenicus' torture on the Bhaalspawn were chilling and beautifully written here.

This year for Yuletide, I wrote four stories.


When Minsc fears that his beloved miniature giant space hamster Boo has been stolen, he instead discovers Boo’s true destiny. With their witch Aerie, as well as their friends Jan Jansen the illusionist and Tiax the insane Cyricist, Minsc and Boo must save a galaxy in another time and space from evil space medusae!

I had a good deal of fun writing this, as is hopefully apparent in the summary.

Fortune and Folk Tales for Liethe (Baldur's Gate)

Tiny Minsc tells a story in return for a hamster, and a gnome fortune teller reads both his and Dynaheir’s palms.

This one told stories within stories; I read a lot of Russian folk tales to research for it.

So far, I've received one review complaining about: my use of the terminology 'sound of limb'; existence of glass mountains in fairy tale without due attention paid to process of erosion; over reliance on golden apples; existence of lady blacksmith and giant magical boarhound who both possess impressive trapeze-related abilities; and unrealistic economic exchange of olives for highly crafted magical net. Therefore, all these warnings apply. :)

Smile, Sunflower for Anthusiasm (Heathers: The Musical - Murphy & O'Keefe; Heathers (1988))

When Heather McNamara leaves boarding school and starts at Westerburg Elementary, she meets Heather Chandler.

Heathers musical backstory. Cute little kids who turn out to be somewhat sinister social engineering geniuses.

A Thousand Kisses for [personal profile] damzel (The Doctor's Wife - Mary Elizabeth Braddon)

Lady Gwendoline Pomphrey takes it upon herself to educate the widow Isabel Gilbert in Latin poetry. Femslash ensues. (Explicit, no plot)

As part of my research for this story, I purchased The Collector’s Edition of Victorian Lesbian Erotica by Major LaCaritilie on Kindle and did various trawlings through Project Gutenberg to read sexy Victorian writing. I love how Kindle enables one to be discreet.

I wrote some fanfic.

With Trains of Fire and Dews of Blood by Blueinkedfrost

Carrie White is regularly attacked and tormented by her cruel classmates. Fortunately, Carrie at last finds a friend at school who wants to help her fight her bullies and sees her special powers as unique and wonderful. Unfortunately, his name is Jason Dean.

Archiveofourown

It’s a Heathers (1989) crossover with Stephen King’s Carrie. Two misfit teenagers manage to bond, but the results aren’t pretty. One shot, complete.

Over Christmas, I wrote two gifts for two exchanges: one for Yuletide, and one for the Baldur's Gate Gift Exchange. Both stories were for the Baldur's Gate fandom.

Summary: The Bhaalspawn must survive with an unlikely companion when he's trapped in a cave.
Characters: Charname, Sarevok

I was the person who encouraged my recipient to sign up to Yuletide, so it made me very happy that they didn't guess my identity until after reveals!

Summary: Sylfana is going to kill Gromnir Il-Khan with her bare hands. Before that, she'll take a moment of luxury with her lover Edwin. Edwin romance, explicit.
Characters: Charname, Edwin

When PuggiePuggie said they didn't mind nsfw, I was happy to stretch my writing muscles and try writing some smut! I feel like I’ve become more repressed as I’ve grown older, so it was good to write an explicit story.

Bhaalspawn Rebellion, a Baldur's Gate fanfic. (Archiveofourown version.) 94K words, complete.

This story was soft science fiction - hot butter on the Mohs scale - with swords, spaceships, and a fun universe that I don’t own to play around in. I enjoyed writing it.

Summary: Baldur’s Gate, IN SPACE. Lionstone XIV, the Empress, rules as a tyrant from the Iron Throne. The warrior Ourawang, daughter of Bhaal, seeks to overthrow her, but not without help from a cyberrat, an esper, a thug, and a mad terrorist. Fusion crossover with Simon R. Green’s Deathstalker series. Don’t need to know canon.

Main characters: Bhaalspawn, Imoen, Aerie, Montaron, Xzar

For Yuletide this year an Amazing Anonymous Author gave me a brilliant, long, worldbuilding fic! It’s about a character I love.

Unys of Vespi by Anonymous

A girl is the heroine of her own story - even if that girl is a vain, petty, fickle pelflyt, and well aware of it. The question is whether it is to be a story of love, revenge, politics, or faith.

This is set in the Legendsong series, which are two Australian fantasy novels about an alternative universe. A dying musician and a martial artist from our world, sisters, must save a world strange to them. Keltor, a planet made by the Song, is mysterious and beautiful with silverblind soulweavers who see parts of the future, sinuous striking villainesses, scarred young singers, Heathcliff-like healers exiled halfway around the world for love, myrmidon warrior women, imprisoned unicorns, and spoilt noble girls with decisions to make in the immediate future.

That spoilt noble girl with decisions to make is whom the story’s about. It’s beautifully written with lots of worldbuilding details. Unys of Vespi has some character development coming up…

There were also four new fics in Baldur’s Gate this year.

Upon the Shoulders of Density by Anonymous - utterly delightful drabble (exactly 100 words long!) about Minsc and Dynaheir. Dynaheir is introduced to Minsc’s new friend.

Time For Small Business by Anonymous - a great parody about the things that happen when Charname’s life takes a more mundane turn. Minsc, Jaheira, Edwin, and Mazzy are all hilarious in this fic. Charname sneaked a peek up at the shop front. THE HAMSTER OF JUSTICE, read the signage in suspiciously good spelling. A smaller heading underneath it read YOU PAY, I PROVIDE.

This Yuletide was arguably Korgan’s, since he was present in two full length fics, or alternatively it was Minsc’s, since he was a major character in a drabble and a full length fic. Either way, more Baldur’s Gate fanfic is awesome!
