Tis the season! My first holiday fic. I drank some eggnog and put Santa hats on my gargoyle and my glass skull, and reindeer antlers on my dog, and got to work on a Christmas fic. The Sense8 holiday exchange is also still happening but I can't talk about it until the reveal on the 31st so stay tuned for more on that soon. Until then, a little Rajalagang Christmas fluff:

OMG y'all this was so much fun to write. I love Wolfgang & Lito's relationship and I think there was a real missed opportunity for Wolfgang to be protective of Dani over Joaquin and their shared awful gangster families so here's a tiny bit of that. Double the throuple (plus Felix), double the fun.

I just completed my Fannish 50 in 2025 with this entry!

This fic is based on something that occurs in one of my others (Shakespearean Proportions) but can be read as a standalone. It's super fun and fluffy (in more ways than one) and was submitted jointly for [community profile] smallfandomfest under the prompt: Gifts as well as for [community profile] fourormore Bingo 2025 under the prompt: Feral.

It was my first time participating in a bingo game and this was so much fun! Lots of good prompts for inspiration that I would've never considered. I was kinda all over the place and wasn't sure where I'd end up (and might be able to manage a second or even third one but I'm not committing to anything at this point.)

Continuing my theme of not using especially original titles on new fics (last week's Herr Wingman joining my other Felix Berner POV fics: Herr Sidekick and Herr Sugar Baby), I just posted Meet the Family to go with Meet the Husband and Meet the Wife.

This one was a lot of fun to write once it finally got going, and ended up way longer than anticipated so I now officially have two multi-chapter fics under my belt. It was submitted as part of [community profile] fourormore 2025 Bingo for the prompt: Awkward conversations


Meet the Family

While watching the finale for the billionth time I was struck during the Nothing Matters When We're Dancing montage by Rajan in the corner of the screen potentially dancing with a mystery person. There's also a brief adorable scene of Felix and Riley dancing and my brain just went from there.

Sense8 was originally meant to be five seasons and I'm still shaking my fist at Netflix for canceling it, but at least we got a wrap up movie and that leaves plenty of options for missing scene fics. In this one, I wanted to explore the developing friendship between Kala and Felix. It takes place during the finale.

I started writing this fic months ago and just could not get it going. I even tried changing the POV and still wasn't feeling it, but it's FINALLY done!  I gotta say, having that many people in one scene is a serious challenge. I had to write all their names out and check them off to ensure I got them all and the count was correct and I still missed one.

I got a super cool badge! This is my first time participating in a Ficathon for [community profile] fourormore and it was so much fun. Lots of prompts for things I didn't even know were a thing.

It's been almost three weeks since I posted a fic which feels like a lifetime. But I was participating in the [community profile] fourormore Ficathon and 2025 Bingo and I got one last prompt filled right under the wire. This one had actually been in my WIPs for awhile since I wanted to have my OT3+1 visit all the other sensates at home and I realized it would fit well for a combined Ficathon/Bingo prompt about complicated relationships where the other guy is "just there".

Without further ado:

Just posted my latest fic for [community profile] fourormore Bingo 2025! The prompt was: Competition.

I've been using Ellipsus to write my fics lately instead of Google docs and had a fun and fitting little spelling suggestion after I absolutely butchered the word Husbands by trying to quickly type on my phone. Ellipsus wanted to change Husbands (or my variation of it) into Hinduism. Isn't that just perfect? Ganesha would approve.

I'm super excited to finally be writing something in Sun's POV!  

I'm filling two prompts today, Grief for Four or More Bingo and "August 8th cluster member of your choice is having a bad day so they're passed around the cluster for love and comfort" for Four of More Fic-a-thon. I love that Sense8 in general qualifies for [community profile] fourormore not just specifically sexual relationships since I'm not big on writing those personally. Hopefully there are more Sense8 fics coming because of it. This also contributes to my Fannish 50 for 2025.

I just posted another fic for the Fourormore 2025 Bingo challenge. The prompt was: Loyal.

Felix and Wolfgang's relationship was one of my absolute favorites throughout the series, and I think without him Wolfgang would've been a completely different person. For all the softness Kala brings out of Wolfgang, Felix was absolutely his first (platonic) love. I really wanted to further explore how Felix would get along with Kala and especially Rajan, as the two of them don't have the benefit of a physic connection.

I was torn on whether to use a different prompt for this one as a continuation of joke in the fic, but Felix is the epitome of loyal so I had to go with that. This post doubles as a contribution to Fannish 50 in 2025.

I'm on a roll! I just posted my second fic for the Fourormore 2025 Bingo challenge. The prompt was: Fear.

I've been wanting to explore the whole recovery period while Kala is in the hospital since we missed out on sooo much in the finale. There would've definitely been bonding there leading to the inevitable OT3+1. It was also the perfect opportunity for another moment I felt like got glossed over a bit since there was a lot of other stuff going on in the lead up to the BPO showdown. Some people might've forgotten about it, but Kala definitely remembered ;)

I just posted my first fic for the Fourormore 2025 Bingo challenge. The prompt was: Limits.

As a lifelong banker (don't hold it against me) my first though went to credit card limits so here is OT3+1 having a very serious discussion about finances.
