FK Fic Fest is Over, Back to Regularly Unscheduled Programming
Saturday, June 7th, 2025 05:05 pmswitchbladeeyesI had lots of fun reading all the fkficfest stories this year. Great to see so many new stories! What imagination! What variety! As someone who enjoys many genres, vibes, and interpretations of the FK universe and its characters, I was very well-satisfied. We had serious and introspective, action-packed and harrowing, and delightful absurdity. Wonderful!
I hope we play again next year!
Until then, I shall get back to:
Recapping/reviewing/writing too many words about season 2 episodes. Next on deck is "Amateur Night," an episode I missed when Mr. SwitchbladeEyes and I watched the series a couple years ago. It's an episode that I kiiiiiiinda remember, but not in much detail.
Throwing out the occasional "general discussion" post, as the fannish spirit moves me.
Working on my WIPs that have been sitting around neglected and gathering dust for 2+ months.
( Now I'm going to chat about my WIPs just 'cause I feel like it... )

PRIDE 4: Hardison/Eliot/Parker
Saturday, June 7th, 2025 03:50 pmsenmutMarking Dates (531 words) by Sharpest_Asp
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Leverage
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Eliot Spencer/Alec Hardison/Parker
Characters: Alec Hardison, Eliot Spencer, Parker [Leverage]
Additional Tags: Origami, Fluff
Summary:
The saying that money can't buy happiness had to have been thought up by a rich person, Hardison decided. He kept folding the non-sequential bills, setting up a menagerie of wild animals. After he had twenty-six of them, he put them in the box, closed it, and left it on his desk, just where the box had been for several days.
Parker had noticed it on the first day it was there, asked about it two days after that, then forgot it existed as it became part of her surroundings. It was the perfect place to hide something in plain sight — though he'd taken the precaution of spritzing it with his aftershave, to hide the money smell.
Parker was funny enough about money that she might have smelled it otherwise.
When Eliot came in that evening, Hardison caught his eyes, looked at the box, got the slow blink of agreement, and that was that.
Two days later, the box was gone, and Parker studied that space, making the cute frowny face she did while cataloguing where everything was supposed to be.
"Where'd the box go?" she asked.
"Have to find it," Eliot answered, before he and Hardison exchanged a grin. Her eyes lit up, so Hardison continued. "Scavenger hunt, in our building, out of the way spots… with things to find on the way to the box."
"What kind of things?" she asked, even as she was getting excited.
"The kind of things you like," Eliot said, and she did a tiny little clap and bounce before vanishing.
"And that, my friend, is how we say 'happy anniversary' to her," Hardison crooned, amused, and going to watch the spy-eyes through the building. Eliot joined him, putting him in a brief headlock playfully.
"Figuring out her love language wasn't so hard," Eliot said, but he was smiling when she found the first animal, right where he'd thought she would, an alligator. "How in the hell did you find an origami A to Z?"
"Man, everything is on the internet now," Hardison told him, still thrilled they'd found a gift that worked.
Parker found the last animal, cunningly folded so it appeared striped, making it a zebra, and the box was just ahead. She opened it, seeing cash — multiple currencies even! — and the note that said 'happy change together day'. Her chin wibbled, for just a moment, before she put all of her finds in the box. She'd had to back track for the otter and the shrew when she realized they were in alphabetical order, but now she had a full menagerie of money.
Her men — both of them were hers and theirs and ours — made fusses on days that weren't Christmas, but not in the way she saw other people do it. That, among many things, kept her falling in love with them every day, knowing neither one would ever push her in a path she couldn't handle.
She'd have to make a run on a store before she went back up to them; junk food for Hardison that had some pretzels in it, and she'd pick up that smelly cheese Eliot had insisted would make great brioche grilled cheese sandwiches.

Index list. Here's the linked, alphabetical list of all stories posted in the FKFicFest 2025 game. You can use the DW tags or AO3 sidebar to help find the story that you'll most enjoy!
( 2025 Index List )Three cheers! The 2025 FKFicFest game is now officially closed. Three cheers for all our writers, beta-readers, and readers! Hooray! Yay, Forever Knight! Yay, us!
Posting elsewhere. Please do share the story that you wrote for this game everywhere you like. Where appropriate, please mention fkficfest to help fellow fans find us. Folks who read your story might like to read those by others, too!
Endless, forever... Please continue reading and replying to the fest stories! This year's, and all 16 astonishing years so far! Please also keep writing, reading, and replying to new FK fanfiction all year round, whenever the mood strikes. We're a small, sleepy fandom at this end of history. But we're here! We're still inspired by our favorite vampire homicide cop, and his friends, enemies, lovers, coworkers, car...
When's the next game here? For now, we're on hiatus. Whether 2026 brings our 17th round will depend on your interest. Stay tuned! ♥

Saturday, June 7th, 2025 09:05 amused_songsI FINALLY printed copies of the zines I made during April and May. If you would like some, send me a message with your address and I will get them in the mail. I am not comment screening, so don’t leave your address here!
Hera by uncertified-disaster (SFW)

Why this piece is awesome: The TV show KAOS was cancelled by Netflix after only one season, but it gathered a lot of fans in that time, and some great art. This is Janet McTeer as Hera, Zeus's wife. I love the green-gold glow, the pattern details, and her expression.

Friday, June 6th, 2025 07:46 pmsenmutAlmost the end of a decade in 1989. Revolutions, crackdowns, changes in power ... look, 1989 left a mark on my psyche. Evidently I was escaping into the cinema as much as I was to the roller rink, judging from me opening 20 tabs even with me being picky. Going to narrow that down some. Okay, 11 in the final cut.
