Hello! I saw this questions on

ficwip and thought "why not", so here are my answers. Most of the fics I talk about are published under TeamRocket9 on Ao3.

Including WIPs, how many fics have you worked on since January 1st? Original fiction counts too!
11, not including short drabbles or ficlets that I wrote for different DW events

How many did you post for other people to read?
9, the other two are still WIPs

What's something NEW that you tried in a fic?
Well this year I wrote one of my most personal fics, it was about exploring my aroace identity and it was also a fic of a fic. I knew barely anyone would care about that one but writing it was terapeutic.

What piece of media inspired you the most?
Daredevil

How many fandoms did you write for?
7 including OW as one of them

What ship(s) captured your heart?
Team Red! Not as a romantic ship, but as a chaotic friendship / found family
As a romantic ship Kate Bishop/Yelena Belova
Also one I still haven't written for: Gelphie

What character(s) captured your heart?
The same ones from the previous answer plus Clint Barton, Karen Page, Foggy Nelson, Claire Temple and others I still haven't written: Jessica Jones and Colleen Wing

Did you write for any new fandoms or ships?
I'm going through The Defenders and related shows this year so yes, I've been writting Daredevil and want to write more of the Defenders characters in the future.

What fic meant the most to you to write?
I kind of already answered but the one about the aroace mc (it's titled The Bowling Bear: Daredevil Edition)

What fic made you feel the happiest to work on?
It's between "Who's Peter? I Don't Know Him" and "Tomorrow". Both have lots of fun, fluffy, comical and action elements that made my brain just tingle happily.

What fic was the most satisfying to finish?
I guess "Shine a Light" because it was very difficult for me to get through since it was a gift and not at all my style.

What fic was the most challenging to work on?
Same answer.

What's the most interesting topic you researched for a fic?
I don't research ngl, I just write silly fluffiness and action that is not physically posible and keep going with my day.

What were your shortest and longest fics?
My shortest published fic (on Ao3) was a ficlet I wrote for a comm on DW. The title is "The Devil's Birthday" and it's, predictably, about Matt Murdock's birthday. It's just a silly scene.
My longest is The Bowling Bear: Daredevil Edition, with 12k words. I haven't written longer stuff this year, thankfully, because I don't have the time lol.

What was on your writing playlist?
I always write with LoFi music or some kind of videogame chill OSTs, you know, the ones titled "music to study and relax to" on Youtube.

Where did you write? Was there a favorite spot?
My desk? Idk

What’s your favorite title of the year?
One of my pwp works so I'm not saying :P

Share your favorite opening line
"The villain started laughing maniacally, and Kate had to suppress the desire to roll her eyes and huff."

Share your favorite ending line
“And then everyone died. No, no, wait, then we went flying in a magical rainbow unicorn and got married in fairyland. Yup, I like that one. The end.”

Share your favorite piece of dialogue
I don't remember all of them???? But here's one I guess, kinda cliché but

“I know, you should clone yourself!”
“That’s a brilliant idea!”
“I was clearly mocking you,” she said, exhasperated. “You know what you should do? You should step in front of him, take you mask off, take his mask off, and then stuff your tongue in his m—”
“Oh, shoot, the call is crashing,” Peter interrupted her.
“No, it’s not!”

Share the funniest line(s) you wrote this year
Again, I don't remember all of them, but here are some lines I guess

"how could she get mad at him when he was so amazingly supportive yet unbelievably useless?"

“I made us in the Sims,” Jenna was running out of arguments. “We are married and have three cats.”
“I’m more of a dog person,” Ashley smiled. “I hope that’s not a deal breaker.”

“Of course, what if I’m bleeding and nearby and I have to come here to change?”
Matt sighed, remembering the five times that had happened. Peter also sighed on Matt’s behalf, which made the lawyer feel grateful. Maybe it would be a ‘no’ on killing Peter. He was still considering Wade.

Did you get frustrated with a fic at some point? What happened and how did you get past it?
Yes, I felt frustrated with the angsty one I had to write for an exchange. I don't know how I got past it, by the sheer power of having a deadline I guess.

If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year?
It would be those times were an idea just stroke me and I just HAD to write it, I love when that happens. This year it barely happened to me, I wasn't that obsessed to be constantly thinking new ideas, also I had to study a lot so I treasure the moments were it happened.

Did you do anything special to celebrate finishing something?
I don't think I did

Did you create fanworks other than fic? Show one off!
I'm trying to draw something! But it's still a wip. Also I have no idea what I'm doing.
I've also made some graphics for a comm here on DW it's been really fun! For instance:

How many fannish events did you take part in? Things like bangs, exchanges, ship weeks, zines, prompt memes, etc. They all count!
I've been taking part on

seasons_of_fandom and it's super fun, it's like going back in time!
I've also taken part on the Femslash kink exchange, Daredevil & Defenders exchange, Enemies to lovers exchange and now I'm taking part in another exchange; I'd never participated in exchanges before this year and it's a blast.
I've also tried some bingos like the comment bingo or the july break bingo, but I didn't complete them.
I'm now participating in

10trueloves but I didn't have time yet to post there.

Think back on everything you've worked on since January and give yourself a compliment. A real one! Be nice to yourself.
Look at all you wrote and took part in, stop thinking you don't do enough!

If this were an awards show, who would you thank?
Thanks to my best friends always because they have to hear me talk about all the silly things I write and all the random events I take part in and they don't get it but they are happy for me.

What’s left on your to-do list for 2025?
Fill a couple of prompts from 10trueloves and finish the wips for the exchange I'm currently in.

What would you like to write next year?
I would like to just finish the stuff I have started but not finished honestly, and then I'll problably take a break from fics and go back to my novel!

I'm impulsively signing up for the 10 true loves event- yes, again. I really want to try and draw something! Don't expect a master piece, I can't draw for my life. But I want to try. My character of focus is going to be Hikaru Shidou and this is the table I'll use:

01.	Rain.	02.	Fireworks.	03.	Music.	04.	Memory.	05	Sunset.
06.	Truth.	07.	Together.	08.	Kiss.	09.	Strangers.	10.	Crush.

I'm impulsively signing up for the 10 true loves event because I've been thinking that I love any pairing or relationship that includes Matt Murdock in it (except for one ahem). This is the table I'll be using for him!

01.	Surprise.	02.	Trust.	03.	Noise.	04.	Tears.	05	Mask.
06.	Fight.	07.	Accident.	08.	Overprotective.	09.	Broken.	10.	Loss.

Warnings: A surprising amount of killing threats but, like, in a friend way(?
Writen for: Seasons of Fandom
Matt woke up with the sound of voices whispering in the kitchen, which, for his enhanced hearing, sounded like people having a conversation on his bed. The strong smell of sugar and chocolate invaded his nose and his brain made the connection with what day it was. He sighed.
His brain decided it wasn’t his problem and he turned around, covering his ears with the pillow. As if that would make a difference, especially considering who was in the kitchen. The two louder and more annoying people Matt knew, aka, his best friends.
“You’re going to wake him up!” Peter whispered so loudly Matt was sure that would have woke him up if he was still asleep.
“Ssshhhh,” was Wade’s intelligent answer. The noise of several things being moved around the counter followed. “He’s going to be so happy when he wakes up!”
“He’s going to kill us,” Peter countered, more realistically. Matt was still deciding on that. There was more movement, then Peter said: “You’re covering me with flour! This is my best suit!”
“Just change and dress like a person, Spidey,” Wade replied.
“I don’t have civilian clothes here, Wade, this is not my house.”
“You don’t?” Wade sounded surprised.
“You do!?” Peter sounded even more surprised.
“Of course, what if I’m bleeding and nearby and I have to come here to change?”
Matt sighed, remembering the five times that had happened. Peter also sighed on Matt’s behalf, which made the lawyer feel grateful. Maybe it would be a ‘no’ on killing Peter. He was still considering Wade. He wouldn’t stay dead much time, after all.
The loud sound of whisking eggs made him almost decide on the killing.
“Do you have any idea what you’re doing?” Peter asked, which, in Matt’s opinion, was a little late to be asking.
Deadpool loudly gasped. “You wound me, Petey-pie! I’m a master around the kitchen! Even Matty and his permanent emo phase isn’t going to be able to resist my sweet treats!”
“How can it be a phase if it’s permanent?” Peter wondered.
“Boo!” Wade complained, while pouring more stuff that Matt coudn’t identify into the batter. “No one likes the grammar police!”
“Sorry, gee.” There was a silence only filled by more recipients and the unmistakable sound of the oven getting turned on. “By the way, you brought the presents, right?”
There was another silence, quickly filled with the smell of panic.
“...Was I supposed to?” Wade finally let out. Peter inhaled, sounding aghast. But Matt felt the change in the air a second before Wade started loudly laughing. “Your FACE, Spidey! So priceless!”
“Shut up!” Peter reacted. Matt wasn’t close enough to tell, but he was probably blushing.
“Of course I brought the presents! What kind of birthday would it be with no presents, you silly?”
Matt sighed for the umpteenth time. It was obvious that he wasn’t going to be able to sleep anymore, especially when Peter and Wade had seemingly forgotten that they were trying to be stealthy.
Without any rush, the blind man got up, ready to go meet with his amazing friends who had prepared a birthday surprise for him— not that he would admit he was happy about it, and luckily no one could see his smile in the privacy of his own room.
He was still Daredevil, though. Maybe two parts of Team Red didn’t know how to be stealthy, but he sure did. His smile turned into a smirk. That would be his little treat for himself: scaring the hell out of those two wonderful idiots.
Happy birthday to him.

MCU | 392 words | Gen | Rated G | Natasha Romanoff & Clint Barton (& a Tony Stark appearence)
_________________________________________

A knife thrown. A target hit. Sweat shining in Natasha’s forehead.

She’d been training in the gym for hours: body tone, cardio, hand to hand combat, and finally this, her favorite part. Knives were the easiest weapon to hide, the quickest to draw. And she was a master at throwing them, each knife handled with the precision of the best assassin in the world. Which, she was.

And then Clint jumped down from the vents.

“Oh my god, yes!!!” he exclaimed, both fists in the air. “You’re exactly what I needed!”

Natasha raised an eyebrow, but Clint didn’t let her skepticism deter him.

“You have to come with me, quickly!” he said, and grabbed her wrist.

Now, normally grabbing Natasha by the wrist was synonym of getting your ass handed to you, but turned out this idiot was Natasha’s best friend in the world, so she only reacted by raising her eyebrow even more pointedly. He huffed.

“Come on, Nat, trust me!” he pleaded, which didn’t make her trust him at all. “I just need your help!”

She sighed, finally giving up on getting an explanation. “If anything goes south, I wasn’t a part of it.”

Clint laughed. “What could go wrong? Come on!”

Not comforted in the least, she followed him. Minutes later, she found herself in the kitchen, in front of a bunch of hollowed pumpkins.

“Clint, I told you I got it!” Tony complained. Clint just pointed at Nat, then at the pumpkins, then at Nat, as if that was an explanation.

Although, to be fair, what Clint expected from her was pretty obvious. She couldn’t help but let out an amused huff. That was definitely not what her knife training was for, but well, why not? Before anyone could react, she was already moving like the wind, slicing and carving at the speed of sound. Tony and Clint looked dumbfounded at her shadow moving across the orange forms, which were transforming quickly into all kinds of Jack-O-Lanters.

When she finished, she had to admit Tony’s face was the best thing that happen that day.

“See!?” Clint exclaimed. “The kids are going to love this!”

“What kids?” Natasha asked.

Again, she didn’t receive a direct answer. But when she found herself outside the tower with Clint, gifting the lanterns to the neighborhood kids, she couldn’t bite back a smile.

_________________________________________

The market was colorful, lively and fun. Lyana inhaled deeply to breath in the delicious smells of fruit and recently baked bread, and marveled at every shop, every yelled offer and every pokemon helping around.

That was why she didn’t see the boy coming until she crashed into him. Both of them fell to the ground, wicker baskets knocking over and fruit rolling everywhere. And worst of all, her poor Oddish also rolled away!

“Oh, no, I’m so sorry!” she apologized and rushed to sit up and put everything inside the basket again.

“That’s okay,” the boy said. He barely had time to stand up before Lyana handed him his basket, which he accepted. “Thank you.”

“No problem, bye!” she said, grabbing her own basket and leaving.

Once the boy was out of sight she sighed. How embarrassing! At least none of them hurt themselves. But what about Oddish? She opened the basket and grabbed the little grass pokemon.

“Are you okay? Why do I never pay attention?” she asked her friend.

Oddish tilted her head and Layla blinked. Something was not right. Oddish didn’t seem like herself…

Suddenly Oddish changed and turned into a pink blob. It was a Ditto!

“Oh no, where’s my Oddish!?” she let out.

“Wait!” someone said from behind her. She turned around to face the boy from before. “That’s my Ditto. She’s kind of a prankster… come here, Ditto!”

The normal pokemon jumped to her trainer's hands, happily smiling. The boy handed Lyana his basket and she saw that her Oddish was there, thank Arceus!

“Oddish, I’m so sorry!” she hugged her pokemon tight, maybe too tight. “I never would abandon you!”

After some tears and a lot of thanks from her, the boy said goodbye and she continued her journey. She was left speechless when, the next day, she went to challenge the gym leader and found that he was the very same boy. How embarrassing! Why did those things always happen to her?

Wynd's Door

DW username:

xwyndx

Light is on for: People from the Fic or Treat community with Doors & people from Seasons of fandom (more than one type of gift, no limits :D) & anyone who walks by (only one category of gift)

What's in the Bowl? Drabbles/one-shots, sig tags, book recs, writing prompts, randomly generated OCs, badly sang duet-readies or covers, tic-tac-toe matches

Let Me Know: Any details you want or none! You can be as specific as you wish, from "surprise me!" to "I want a sig tag with this pic this font this colors this text and this effects". You can also give me DNWs for any request.

Other info: Info on specific categories of gifts down below:

Fics

I can write either from a fandom or original works. The length will depend but they'll be short. I'd appreciate you giving me a couple of options for fics, so I can pic the one that inspires me or the fandom I know about. If I know none of the requested fandoms (which is likely) I may ask you to give me other fandom options. Also, be aware that English is not my first language xD.

I will not write: whump, gore, major character death, omegaverse, watersports
I will absolutely write: fluff, humor, slice of life, pwp
For specific smutty kinks, please ask first. I don't judge but I may reject the request and ask for another prompt.

Sig tags

I've been made aware that Imgur doesn't work for everyone anymore, so if you need me to upload you tag on another server please let me now where I can do it.

I have my recent tags on imgur, if you want to check them out here they are: https://imgur.com/a/WBJv1DN

Book recs

You will receive 2-6 book recs, unless you specifically ask for only one. You can choose to ask for different none combinable prompts (i.e. a sapphic romance, a het romance and an achillean romance) and I'll give you 1 or 2 for each instead of a larger list for one single prompt. You may ask for books in English and also in Spanish!

Prompts

I do not use generative AI. The prompts will be mine or inspired by writing challenges or online prompts I've collected. You may specify the kind of prompt you'd like if you want (i.e. a first line, pictures, a situation...) or just leave it to fate. You will receive 3 prompts unless you specify that you want less.

OCs

Again, I do not use generative AI. The OCs will be invented by me just for you. You may ask for a specific fandom (i.e. a Hogwarts student) or just ask for a generic character. If you ask for a fandom that I don't know anything about, I may ask you to give me a different fandom.

You will receive general information about this character (name, gender, age, occupation, likes...). Character sheets might differ from one another, basically because I will be making them up, so if you want to be sure something specific is on it, you can ask. I'm not good at drawing, but I can give you a picrew or use an actor/cartoon character as a "played by", but only if you request it.

Duet-readies or covers

I am deadly serious. I WILL sing. I can prepare a "duet-ready" for a song (sing one part so you can sing the other with me), sing by myself if you want that for whatever reason, and even join you at Smule! (but not start a song because I'm a free member lol).

I can sing in English, Spanish and Japanese, btw. If it's a different language I will mispronounce everything, but I can try.

Tic tac toe

If you just want to play a game of tic tac toe, just comment with an image of your move and I'll reply with my move! I'm pretty bad but that doesn't matter, I'm down to play lol

To take a look at fandoms I'm in you can look at my icons, my sig tag collection or my Ao3 account. But you can just ask if I know your fandoms :)

Please be patient with me, especially if I get lots of requests.
That's all. Happy spooky season, everyone!

Current Mood: energetic

Infinity

Any: Any/Any/Any - infinity (Amphibia, Anne/Marcy/Sasha)

Anne thought she would never feel infinite again.
She could never forget that day. That moment of pure joy and power, friendship and love, when she and her two best friends held the magic of the box and saved Amphibia from the Core… It felt like nothing had ever felt before. They were magic came to life, they were pure light and color, future and hope and love combined. They— the three of them— had been infinity.
Anne thought she would never feel anything like that again. She tried not to think about how dull everything seemed, without Sprig, without Amphibia… without them. Sasha and Marcy.
People follow different paths. Everyone kept saying that to her. Then why did it sting so much? Why could she never forget their beautiful, smiling faces?
Anne thought she would never feel infinite again, until, one day, Marcy and Sasha came back to her life. As they waited for Anne at the doors of the museum, Anne’s lungs filled with fresh air for the first time in years. And when they left together, Anne holding both their hands, she knew it was never the magic box.
It was them. They were infinite.

--------------------------------------------------

A Vow for the Future
Any: Any/ Any - "I could be your type, I'm your zombie bride" (Corpse Bride, Emily/Victoria)

Victoria’s hand is warm and soft. Emily wants nothing more than let her cold fingers linger over Victoria’s for no other reason than to feel the woman’s skin against her bare bone.
The contact only lasts a couple of seconds. Victoria breaks it to keep moving her fingers across the piano. She looks up for a moment, to Emily, and smiles demurely. “Am I doing it right?” she asks softly, with a hint of self-doubt.
Emily forces herself to smile cheerfully. “You are getting it fast!” she congratulates, and it’s true. Ever since Emily started visiting the land of the living as regularly as Elder Gutknecht would allow, she’d been helping Victoria learn to play the piano, something the young woman always wanted to do but was against her parents desires. Well, she doesn’t live with her parents anymore.
“That’s because she lives with her husband.”
Emily quickly smacks Maggot, who had tried to escape her ear. The movement attracts Victoria’s attention.
“Just a bug,” Emily excuses herself with a giggle. “Let’s take it from here.” She decides, which might be an excuse to grab Victoria’s beautiful hands and guide them towards the correct keys.
Yes, Emily knows that Victoria is married and Emily is… well, dead. But Victoria’s marriage was arranged, not for love. And about the second objection…

The corpse sighs, her face going soft at the image of Victoria playing beside her. There’s no rush. Emily is nothing but patient.

--------------------------------------------------

Electric
Any: Any/Any(/Any) - chase (Daredevil, Elektra/Karen)

“Could you run faster?” Elektra urges.
“I’m sorry I’m not a ninja,” Karen quips, breath fast and heart hammering.
“Remind me how I ended up protecting Matt’s little friends,” Elektra says and grabs Karen’s wrist to yank her into a new corridor. Karen’s heart jumps again, but this time she doesn’t think it’s the race.
There’s voices behind them, growing in volume and anger. Karen tries to look, but she gets yanked again into a small space, the noise of a door closing and steps rushing through the corridor following.
“It’s not my fault you insist on getting involved in every Daredevil mission,” Karen manages to form the words, even though she’s very aware of Elektra’s body pressing against her in the small space. “Which are usually related to our law firm.”
“It’s a miracle no one has pinned down his identity yet.”
Karen ignores Elektra’s snark because the warrior’s hands are on her hips and she suddenly can’t remember how to breathe. What feels like centuries pass in that small closet when Karen gathers the courage to look up and see Elektra smirking, like she knows exactly what’s going on inside the blonde’s head, because she probably does. Karen finds out that she doesn’t mind, as long as Elektra’s fingers keep brushing her waist and her dark eyes are still on hers.
“Ready for our big escape?” Elektra whispers.
No, Karen thinks. “Yes,” she says.
Elektra grabs her hand to run again. Karen doesn’t complain.

--------------------------------------------------

Yesterday
Any: Any/Any - yesterday (Wednesday, Enid Sinclair/Wednesday Addams)
Also part of July Bingo Break. Prompt: Exact Drabble (100 words)

“Yesterday was magical,” Enid dreamily drops on her bed.
“It was horrifying,” Wednesday adds, monotone and blunt. She is sitting perfectly straight on her desk.
Enid gasps and clutches the fabric over her chest. “Don’t tell me you didn’t like it! I would cry!”
“Cry then,” Wednesday deadpans.
“You are so cruel,” Enid says dramatically and ignores Wednesday’s quick ‘thank you’ in response. “I gave my heart to you and we kissed in this bed and it was magical,” she insisted.
“It was torture.”
Enid gasped again, understanding. “But you love torture!”
Wednesday glances at Enid’s bright smile and smirks.

--------------------------------------------------

I'm winning
Any: Any/Any(/Any) - it's not a competition (but it totally is) (Heroes of Olympus, Piper McLean/Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano)
Also part of July Bingo Break. Prompt: "Location: Summer Camp"

"It's not a competition," Piper says, forcing a smile. "This is about letting our roman friends participate in our camp."
"Not a competition at all," Reyna agrees, though her fiery eyes say otherwise. "We're just here to have fun."

First was canoe races on the lake. Romans and Greeks were heated by the competition, but Piper and Reyna were the most passionate, row against row crossing the line together in first place. Next was combat training, chariot races, obstacle courses...

It didn't end there. If Piper dazzled everyone with her stories and beauty over the fireplace, Reyna would top that with fascinating stories about the legion. If Reyna had all Hermes campers cleaning the cabin under her command, Piper would call upon her siblings to decorate the Aphrodite cabin with laces and flowers.

They clash on the lake on a hot summer night and challenge each other to a swimming race. Piper wins by an inch.

"Why are you so annoying?" Reyna says, wet t-shirt sticking to her skin.
"Why are you so bossy?" Piper retorts, flashing her eyelids.

When they start kissing, none of them know who started it and they don't care. There's only Reyna's fingertips against Piper's waist, and Piper gently tugging at Reyna's black hair, while their tongues meet and clash, thirsty and desperate.

They part for air, and Reyna smirks. "I won that one," she says.
“No way, I want a rematch,” Piper gasps against her lips, and erases the distance again.
