Story Title: the work we do
Fandom: Captain America (Movies)
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/60553906
Summary:
Natasha stares openly, fascinated. It isn't like she'd imagined, seeing them together. She'd been picturing the version of Barnes as she'd known him. And that person is in front of her now, but he's only one piece of the whole. Here, with Steve, he's a three dimensional person come to life, not the flattened copy of a man who she remembered.

(Missing scenes from the Raft rescue.)

Pairings: Steve Rogers & Natasha Romanov, James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers, James "Bucky" Barnes & Natasha Romanov
When I Started: 2016
How I Lost My Shit: I lost momentum trying to plot out the action, and then new canon kept coming out and jossing me until Endgame sort of killed my desire entirely.
How I Finished My Shit: Set a deadline, rewatched the (good) movies, decided sticking completely to canon was overrated anyway.

Well, at least he was until he met a kid and the System decided to give him a new mission called "Help Shen Jiu". Help him how? He has no clue! Wait, why is he raising the kid now? How often are you even supposed to water and feed a kid? Stupid System. Thankfully he has his always reliable shidi to help him with this mess!

How I Finished My Shit: I always knew I wanted to finish. Having something like the WIP Big Bang gave me a clear deadline to work towards to see it through.

Fandom: Good Omens

Warnings: N/A
Bragging Rights: This Good Omens story is inspired by one of the Cadfael books, so when I began my process I looked at Cadfael book covers and found a series of editions that featured medieval castle windows, so I decided to copy that style for this cover art. I also made manips of Azriaphale in monks robes and Crowley in medieval dress. I'm very happy with how it all turned out.

How I Finished My Shit: lots of late nights with friends, sprints, writing streams and voice chats!! very thankful for the group of people i'm surrounded by hehe

When I Started: November 2015
How I Lost My Shit: I never lost it, but I had very little time to work on it with epic family and work drama.
How I Finished My Shit: My friend and beta reader [personal profile] rumpelsnorcack had always wanted a sequel and I always had intended to finish it. I was inspired by WIPBB since it helps to have a deadline, and once the lovely [profile] captainamergirl chose to make art for me, I had an additional inspiration to finish the story. :)

Summary: Rodney, Teyla, and Ronon watch, helpless and appalled, as John lights up the temple.
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply. Implied mind-control... possibly?
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Ronon Dex, Teyla Emmagan
Pairings: up to the writer, or Gen.
When I Started: unsure, roughly the start of this year?
How I Lost My Shit: I just got distracted and busy with other challenges, and RL things.
How I Finished My Shit: I heard that the WIP Big Bang was having a Reversebang section, so I decided to use that as a spur to complete this as a primary work in the Reversebang. Also for the Stargate Anniversary festival.
Notes: Made with Procreate and watercolours. I've deliberately left the story behind this scene, and the outcome, open-ended, as inspiration for writers. And if it's a bit unsettling, well, it is almost the 31st.

Story Title: Strange Magic

Fandom: Crossover (Superwolf) - Supernatural & Teen Wolf

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/60077839

 

Summary: Did you know the Men of Letters once called the Hales their allies? Neither did the Winchesters. Unfortunate events ensued when the demon-hunting brothers met a formerly possessed kid who is definitely not a witch, and the last of the Hale werewolves still guarding Beacon Hills. Will they trust each other with all their secrets?

 

The Winchester’s second (and final?) visit to Beacon Hills threatens to break their young alliance – and Heaven’s attack isn’t helping at all. Sam has answers but he’s not talking, Derek and Dean have had more than enough, and Stiles is rapidly running out of ways to control the almighty power he’s channeling. Questions about trust and the power of love must be answered before the four of them can save Beacon Hills, and each other.

 

Warnings: Fandom crossover, Magical!Stiles, Wincest, Temporary death of two major characters, Lore and more lore

Characters: Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Sheriff Stilinski, Lydia Martin, Melissa McCall, assorted Angels and other supernatural creatures

Pairings: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski (Teen Wolf (TV)) and Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester (Supernatural)

 

When I Started: 2016

How I Lost My Shit: Life intervened and I lost track of what lay beyond the original story, but now that the four characters had met, they had a LOT to talk about, and work to do.

How I Finished My Shit: After a health scare in 2024, I decided to start writing again regularly; I always wanted to finish telling the rest of the story that began this: “Legacies”.

Story Title: Six More Weeks Of Winter
Fandom: Lupin III
Link: archiveofourown.org/works/59082127/chapters/150632977
Summary:
Things had been at equilibrium with Zenigata for years. Then Moneta came along.
At some point after their last job in this middle-of-nowhere town, Zenigata had suffered some kind of nasty head injury. Had lost his memory. And he'd assumed that he was supposed to be a thief, because apparently even with amnesia he was obsessed with Lupin.
By all rights, it could have been a funny story, something for Lupin to lord over him after he got his memory back. Could have even made good blackmail material, if Pops was the kind of guy who would ever need to be blackmailed.
But then Lupin went and had sex with him. And that changed the equation quite a bit.
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, tobacco and alcohol use, mild violence
Characters: Arsene Lupin III, Zenigata Koichi, Jigen Disuke, Ishikawa Goemon XIII
Pairings: Arsene Lupin III/Zenigata Koichi
When I Started: 2021
How I Lost My Shit: Well, I usually either start writing with some sort of plan, or I write one scene and then stop forever. This fic was the latter one-- I wrote the first scene and set it down for three years.
How I Finished My Shit: I originally signed up for the WIP Big Bang with two fics that were not this one. Then, about a week or two after signups the muse abruptly left both of them and flew into this one and suddenly I HAD TO FINISH IT RIGHT NOW.
Eventually, okay, I petered out a little bit, and got to the point I usually get when I spend too long on a fic where I have no idea if I'm even typing words any more and editing is like pulling teeth. Still, this is not only my longest completed fic to date by a country mile, but my first ever multichapter, and I'm pretty damned proud of that!!

When I Started: February 2024
How I Lost My Shit: After having a strong start, I stalled after a few months. Coupled with some big life changes, I was tempted to put this away and finish it later.
How I Finished My Shit: Seeing this challenge at the same time that I was starting to lose focus was very serendipitous. Signing up and committing helped me push through and keep writing. This gave me a very clear deadline (even as this story grew much longer than I expected).

Fandom: Marvel
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58741834
Art link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58521109
Summary:

Steve buys a run-down house on a whim; it needs work. Bucky shows up.

Contains: probably inaccurate home remodeling things, lots of painting the walls, Bucky figuring out how to be mostly himself again, Steve deciding to paint a mural on one of the walls (but it's really a metaphor), Steve and Nat crashing some formerly-HYDRA bases and getting into a few scrapes, eventual Steve and Bucky hooking up.


Warnings: Depictions of violence, minor medical things re: Bucky's WS arm
Characters: Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Natasha Romanov, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Sam Wilson
Pairings: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes
When I Started: May 2023
How I Lost My Shit: I read a bunch of random Steve/Bucky one weekend after rewatching CA:TWS and there were some things where I thought, I like these ideas but I would do things this other way, so I jotted down a few notes here and there, which turned into making an outline for a story where they fixed up a house and hoping that would be enough to satisfy the urge. And then I couldn't stop thinking about it and figured, this is enough of an outline that I could potentially do NaNoWriMo with this. So I wrote 50k… then promptly stopped wanting to look at it.
How I Finished My Shit: When I saw WIP BB was running again I figured it would be a good way to finish up, since having the regular check-ins and a deadline is generally helpful to my writing process! And then it ended up the longest thing I've ever written.
