Okay, maybe I am doing Snowflake Challenge...a little.

Snowflake Challenge promotional banner featuring feet in snuggly socks, a mug of hot chocolate, a notebook with 'dreams' written on the cover, and a guitar. Text: Snowflake Challenge January 1-31.

Challenge #3

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive.


I have only two things I really want to exist in the world that do not seem to, and one request for the universe.

1) Art: A proper poster I can frame and hang in my office that has the Star Trek emblem with the words "Ad Astra Per Aspera" on it. I have been trying to buy this but it does not exist, and I would pay to commission this, genuinely.

2) Vid: A Bablyon 5 Londo Mollari vid to Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero." Because *come on* nothing has ever been so perfect.

3) I also would love for folks to go...fill a fandom stocking or comment on a story they've been meaning to or find a story that doesn't have the kudos or comments it should and give the author props or rec it to a friend or something. Send joy into the fannish world.

Well, I've been writing this for what feels like forever. But two full drafts and some extra work later, I have for you:

Title: the wheel of the headlong year
Fandom: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Summary: Marie Batel lives. Survival is complicated.
Character / Pairing: Marie Batel, Marie Batel / Christopher Pike
Rating: T
Words: 16,374

Other things: this is a story about trauma, and grief, and survival, and unexpected intimacy. Content warnings for medical trauma especially.

With gratitude to [personal profile] pellucid for the kind of thorough and thoughtful beta I cannot live without, and extra gratitude to the universe that she is well enough--for the first time in fifteen months--to provide such wonderful beta services. With additional thanks to [personal profile] tellitslant for an extra set of eyes and some really insightful thoughts, as well as for listening to me talk about this as it came together since...well, the day the finale aired.

**

I thought I wouldn't publish anything in 2023 for the first time since 2016. But here we are, under the wire. I am immensely proud of this story, and I hope you enjoy it. I have many hopes for 2024, but perhaps the most straightforward is this: Marie Batel better fucking live.

**

Happy New Year, friends.

So despite the fact that I have been in fandom approximately twelve million years, I have never actually done Yuletide before. But this year there are a bunch of fandoms I know and love, so here we are! If you are browsing through letters, I am [archiveofourown.org profile] gabolange at AO3.

First, and most importantly: thank you! I am sure I will love anything you write me, because OMG you are writing me a story! I am very grateful for your time.

Second, I guess a couple DNWs: I am not really into major character death (unless it's canon?), or werewolves or A/B/O, or trauma porn. Also DNW non-con, rape, gratuitous violence against women, or embarrassment stuff.

Third, a couple loves: I am a canon whore and a character whore. I love a good AU, but my heart is happiest unpacking the characters we love in the settings we know. I don't mind if that's silly or heartfelt or hurt/comfort or deep inside someone's head or outside POV or whatever, but my happiest place is character work in a canon-friendly way.

Fourth, the fandoms! )
