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.

Summerdayghost wrote this story for me for Heathers (1988):

resilience (accepting what you can't know) by summerdayghost
Bud after the death of his son.

Since Bud Dean is almost the only adult in the Heathers film who's shown to be good at something (although it's definitely not parenting), it's no wonder he makes a useful villain in fanfic. This interesting character study story gives a nuanced, flawed-but-not-evil view of him. And the hamster gets a happy ending!

(The other competent adult in the film is the English teacher, Mrs. Pope, who notices that Heather's suicide note correctly uses the word myriad, but I haven't read or written her as a villain in fanfic. Yet?)

I wrote three stories, two for Baldur's Gate and one for The Merry Widow operetta.

Celebration of a Book for Kaz (Baldur's Gate)
Fleeing, alone, isolated in a grim city, Imoen remembers the rituals she learnt from Winthrop.

Kaz gave a wonderful prompt for a story focused on Imoen. The Baldur’s Gate setting has lots of golems and yet doesn’t have any fantasy Judaism … so I tried to fix that in this story.

In Fair Nashkel Bath House for depresane (Baldur's Gate)
After the dirt and grime of bandits in the wilderness, Viconia and Dynaheir take some time off to relax and bond at a luxurious bath house. Friendship fic.

Viconia and Dynaheir have a friendly, mutually appreciative exchange in the Baldur's Gate I game, even though you'd expect a priestess of an evil goddess to not get on with an idealistic, upright young woman with strict ethical standards. But Dynaheir is also a reflective, thoughtful, and wise character, so I love the idea that the two work together and come to appreciate each other ... and maybe get a little character development too.

Three Times Countess Hanna Glawari Danilovitsch Saw the Vilja up the Mountain, and Lived to Tell the Tale for elstaplador (The Merry Widow)
Hanna met the Vilja three times. The spirit of the wilderness contests with Hanna for the life of a goat, a man, and something else.

I loved the chance to write some Ruritanian worldbuilding for this prompt and show a late nineteenth century heroine finding herself in the middle of a folklore legend, even while her country gradually becomes more modern. This story may be understandable even outside the fandom.

My friend Anna helped me with goat related information. You know you have a true friend if you can go to them with the question, "Help me, if one of your goats was replaced by a fairy shapechanged to look like a goat, what would you do", and she comes back with a comprehensive how-to guide. All remaining goat errors are my own. Goat related constructive criticism is appreciated.

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.

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.

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.

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.
