everywoman '24 authors are now revealed! See the collection.

As mentioned, my request went up as a pinch-hit and I received both a gift and a treat for Dungeons & Dragons (cartoon, 1983): "Girl Time" (T, gen, ~700 words; Sheila & Diana) and "The Acrobat's Dream" (T, gen, 100 words; Diana). Both, it turns out, are by

DesertVixen, whose assignment in the event was The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015): "The Last Night (Before The Rest of Her Life)" (T, gen, ~500 words; stars Gaby).

Here are a few other stories that I enjoyed in the event:

"a world worth fighting for" by kira_katrine (Captain Marvel (2019); T, gen, ~1K words; Maria & Mar-Vell)
"i'm gonna be fine (but maybe not tonight)" by SleepyMaddy (The Marvels (2023); G, gen, ~5K words; Kamala & Carol)
"like a dream i can't escape by SleepyMaddy (Stargate: SG-1; G, gen, ~1K words; Sam & Teal'c)

The story that I wrote was "Beyond Illusion" (Dungeons & Dragons (cartoon, 1983); G, gen, ~4K words; Varla & Presto), for

DesertVixen's request for “more about Varla exploring/learning about her power.” The piece is a tag/sequel to Varla's one episode, "The Last Illusion;" the day after the day Varla escaped Venger's Forbidden Tower, as she shows Presto around her village, she examines her powers and her options, ultimately choosing a third way that's canon-compliant and yet opens up her future beyond canon.
