First post:

For ama_ranth_827, Any, Any, She could melt all this snow if she wanted to. But then she'd miss those blue tones. (filled with Frozen, Elsa)

She should probably melt this snow right now, let the people of Arendelle have their summer back.

But Elsa remembers all those times Anna had asked her if she wanted to build a snowman and Elsa had just shut her out, so now would be a good way of making it up to her by building a snowman together.

Besides, what better way than a snowball fight to get to know Kristoff better?

For daria234, Arrow, Tommy/Oliver, it turns out there's an Earth where he and Tommy are married

He knows what happened on their earth, and he knows that the Oliver Queen on Harry's Earth is dead, but the encounter with Tommy Merlyn as Prometheus makes Oliver wonder what the fates of himself and Tommy were on other Earths.

When Harry tells Oliver he's actually asked the Council of Wells that question for him, Oliver expects to hear more stories of how the two were best friends, hopes there are no more verses where Tommy took Chase's place as Prometheus (he'll often be wondering how it came to that if that were the case).

He's not expecting to hear that Tommy and Oliver are married on Earth-42, which Thea finds hilarious and Felicity looks a little taken aback by, but Oliver can't help wondering about what their life is like.

For daria234, Arrowverse, any m/m or f/f, hard kiss (Alex/Sara)

It was true that it was never going to work; Alex would be returning to her own universe and Sara to who the hell knew what time periods.

But she'd taken Alex's mind off Maggie, helped her see that it was for the best and didn't have to be the end.

Alex broke away from Kara, called to Sara to wait, threw her arms around her and gave her the kiss that was guaranteed to make Sara remember her.


For eternal_moonie, Riverdale Chosie aka Cheryl/Josie, confession of the drawings (well, anything goes really, at least have it about the two of them)

"Glad it's you," Josie said as she saw Cheryl at her door, feeling she really needed her best friend now after what Kevin had just told her about their parents.

Too late she saw the drawing of the two of them in Cheryl's hands, saw the look on Cheryl's face as Cheryl said "I was going to find the right way to talk to you," and she finally understood.

So many thoughts flashed through her mind; the fact that she had accused Chuck wrongly, the fact that the one person she thought she could trust after Kevin's revelation had been lying to her, the fact that the Black Hood probably wasn't after her after all..."We need to talk," was all she could say, and she hoped the right words would come to her.



For caramelsilver, Harry Potter, any, Voldemort won (Narcissa)

She should be celebrating; it was what she and her family had always wanted: the Dark Lord had won, The Boy Who Lived lived no more.

Yet Narcissa no longer cared for his cause, had never been able to forgive the Dark Lord for recruiting Draco to his service at such a young age, for placing the pressure on him to kill Dumbledore.

As Lucius and Bellatrix cheered, Narcissa found herself wondering if it would have been better had the Dark Lord been defeated.


For eternal_moonie, DC Crossover, Evil Kara/Evil Oliver, equals

They should be as equals out there in the field, and it frustrated Kara that they couldn't be.

It was her stupid weak heart that held her back, that prevented her from being as active as she would like to be, that sometimes kept her benched while Oliver and Prometheus went out and did the hard work.

"Don't you worry about it," Oliver had said, "soon we'll be able to get our hands on the other Kara Danvers at the wedding, to get her heart, and then once you're fixed, we can be equals once again."



Anonymous, Any, any, call me by the old familiar name (OUAT, Regina)

She won't deny that there's a part of her that likes the fact that none around her know her as the Evil Queen, but see only their friend Roni who has done no harm to anyone.

Yet as she and Henry drive away from Hyperion Heights, she thinks of how even when Henry was estranged from her and lived with the Charmings, he still always referred to her as Mom.

Even knowing what Drizella had said about how bad things would happen if any hero broke the curse, Regina longed to hear Henry call her Mom again.


For celeste9, Flarrowverse, Barry/Kara/Oliver, why me

"So I've been thinking about stuff, you know, since we met our Earth X counterparts, well, thinking about us," Kara began.

"You mean how we ended up together on that verse, when it took us so long to even become friends over here, and now you're wondering why us?" Oliver asked.

"Because her taste obviously took a nosedive over there," Barry quipped, clapping Oliver on the back before kissing Kara on the lips.


Anonymous, Any, any, do not weep, maiden, for war is kind (Game of Thrones, Margaery)

As Margaery dressed for her wedding to Joffrey, she couldn't help but think of her grandmother's words in the days before she set out for King's Landing.

"You need not fear, Margaery," Olenna had said, "for though that rat-like Littlefinger is speaking of your wedding now, it is still possible that Stannis will win the battle and your wedding may not happen."

As Joffrey choked on his poisoned wine, Margaery found herself remembering Olenna's words again.



For lizzie_marie_23, fairytales, any, 'cause when you find yourself a villain in the story you have written it's plain to see (OUAT, Regina)

She'd thought that in rewriting her history she would give herself a happy ending.

Yet while she is the villain in the version where she becomes Snow White's stepmother, in the version where she leaves her arranged marriage and marries Robin Hood, Regina has caused Snow and Charming never to meet and Emma never to be born to break the curse that Rumple still made sure was cast.

Whichever version was the truth, Regina still felt that she was the villain of the piece.


For ama_ranth_827, Supernatural, Dean Winchester, "A boy needs his father."

Sometimes Dean wanted to ask his father how John could have gone off and left him and Sam for days at a time, after his belief that Henry Winchester had abandoned him, and especially once he knew of Adam's existence.

He'd thought that Ben could be a chance for him to prove that he could be the father that John was not. But then Soulless Sam had returned, and Dean knew he had to walk away, and in that moment a part of him understood John better.



Anonymous, Any, any, and death I think is no parenthesis (Legends of Tomorrow, Jax)

He still hears his voice sometimes, imagines what he would have said in situations, even finds himself calling Mick "Mr. Rory" once as Grey would have done.

Technically their psychic link should have become separated in the moments before Grey died. Yet Jax believes his family were right, he's still there as a part of him.


For bm_shipper, Dynasty, Steven/Sammy Joe, "Don't tell me you didn't need that as much as I did!"

"This was a mistake, and it shouldn't happen again," Steven said the morning after Thanksgiving when he woke up next to Sammy-Joe. "After everything that's happened, with your fake robbery, your not giving me an alibi, the time I walked in on you in bed with Ted, not to mention that we're related by marriage, we shouldn't see each other any more."

"After everything that happened with Claudia, and your father and Fallon, it's been an interesting day," Sammy-Joe replied, "so don't even try and tell me you didn't need that night of relaxation like I did."


For ama_ranth_827, Any, Any, There’s going to be very painful moments in your life that will change your entire world in a matter of minutes. (TVD, Elena)

There have been too many of these painful moments, moments which meant that Elena's life would never be the same again.

First her parents, then Jenna, then Alaric, and all the time Elena thinking that they could have been avoided if she had made different decisions.

Damon thinks turning her humanity off might help, Bonnie and Caroline think it's crazy, but Elena just needs some time of not feeling pain.



For ama_ranth_827, Any, Any, Your biggest mistake ever was giving up on me. (Shadowhunters, Sebastian)

So Jocelyn had written Sebastian off, believing him dead, never trying to look for him.

And Sebastian knew of the way she had reacted to Jace when she believed him to be her son, rejecting him and pushing him away, just as he believed she would have been to the real Sebastian had she known.

Giving him up was a big mistake, and if Lightwood hadn't already ended her while possessed, it would have been her last.


For ama_ranth_827, Any, Any, “What do you mean I’m too loud? It’s not like I’m SHOUTING IN YOUR EAR! (Friends, Chandler/Monica)

"A little louder, Monica, I don't think they heard you back at Central Perk," Chandler said as Monica pointed out a little too loudly that Donald Trump was getting out of the elevator.

"What do you mean? It's not like I'm shouting in your ear, Chandler," Monica proceeded to do exactly that.

Maybe he should have been better about it when Monica insisted on moving rooms about 19 times, saving this mood now...or maybe this whole weekend had been a mistake.



More will follow!

These might be the final lot since I won't be able to write from Sunday to Wednesday, but I wrote enough so I'm okay with that.

For celeste9, Legends of Tomorrow, Mick/Leonard, partners in crime

Okay, so he knows the man standing before him isn’t his Snart, but another version of him from another universe, but he can live with that, it’s good enough, better than what he had before.

It’s not been the same without him, no matter how hard he’s tried to pretend he can make it work with Haircut.

With this version of Snart, he can go back to being the real Mick Rory, now he has his partner in crime back.


For silvr_dagger, any, any, fearful symmetry

Regina smiles to herself as she watches Snow become the bland dull elementary school teacher, Charming the comatose patient who’s probably more interesting now than he was when he was awake, Grumpy the town drunk.

None of them are going to get their happy endings except for her; she has won.

Then one day she sees herself through Henry’s eyes, realises he wears the same expression she wore for Cora; she has become her mother, and the one she cursed most of all was herself.


For hanorganaas, Arrow, Laurel Lance/Oliver Queen, In the Alternate Reality where they were happy....

Laurel smiles to herself as she draws up the seating plans for the reception, shops for dresses with Sara, vetoes a particularly bad joke from her father from his speech.

She can’t wait to become Mrs Oliver Queen, to spend the rest of her life with the man she loves.

Yet the day she takes the call from Tommy Merlyn where he apologises for not being able to get to the ceremony, she suddenly sees a picture of herself with him, and wonders what might have been.


For silvr_dagger, any, any, trickster (I went with the SPN trickster here)

He’ll do what Sam asked him to do, he’ll go back to the day where Dean Winchester died, he’ll save him.

But it is a fool’s errand, Gabriel knows it, and Sam knows it too, it’s only a matter of time before Dean’s deal with the demon reaches its end and Hell will claim him.

Gabriel’s giving Sam his borrowed time, but Sam will have to learn soon what life will be like without his brother.

For dreamsofspike, iZombie, Ravi/Blaine, he can't believe he's comforting this undead psychopath when what he'd really like to do is punch him in the face

When Ravi looks at Liv and Major, and thinks of what they could have been before Blaine turned Liv at that stupid party, he would quite happily punch Blaine in the face.

At first, just having Blaine in front of him had that effect too. But looking at him, so confused, not seeming to know who he is since he took that dose of cure (and Ravi doesn’t think he’s acting), he no longer feels that he can do that.

For bm_shipper, Supergirl/The Flash Crossover, Cisco/Winn, He just wanted to try out Kara's device, but then he started to talk to Cisco...

Winn hadn’t even expected to make contact with another universe when he picked up Kara’s device, was just trying to see how it worked really, never knowing what would be in store for him in that one moment when he picked it up.

Cisco had thought it was Kara trying to reach Barry, and knew he shouldn’t have picked up, but also couldn’t resist trying out the technology, then as he realised what an expert he was talking to, he wanted to know more.

As both realised just how much they had in common, found themselves thinking the same thing at the same time so often, they found themselves frequently cursing the fact that they lived in different universes, but they knew it wasn’t forever, that they would be together one day.

eternal_moonie, that last one is also for you, although you probably guessed that from the last paragraph.

So it looks to be quietening down at the ficathon, if I do write any more then I'll update here but I do have rather a long list of other fics besides my series which is getting ever longer. After watching The Originals I now find myself wanting to write someone who never used to interest me all that much - but that's another story. I really do need restraining.

Anyway, here are the ones I have written so far:


For eternal_moonie, The Originals, Rebekah/Freya, always and forever, together as one

Ever since Dahlia had told her that Esther had given birth to a girl, Freya had wondered about this Rebekah, and now she had finally had the opportunity to become a part of her life.

Rebekah had told Freya that Klaus’s vow of long ago now included her – always and forever – yet Freya knew that there would come a day when they would have to part, for Rebekah was immortal and Freya was not.

Rebekah was reluctant to turn her, fearing for how it may change Freya if she did, but Freya was determined to find a way that she could become immortal too, to be with Rebekah forever.



For daria234, The Flash or Arrow, any slash or femslash, best night

Spending time with Laurel had begun as a way of keeping Sara’s memory alive for Nyssa.

Part of her is ashamed to admit that her first night with Laurel was actually the best night of her life, better than any of her nights with Sara, because she feels she knows where she is with Laurel in a way she no longer did with Sara.

Then she decided to go with it, put her guilt aside and enjoy, because Sara was gone, Laurel was here, and Laurel could be her future now.


For eternal_moonie, Scream, Audrey/Piper, sister dearest


Audrey’s listened to Piper talk about how much she resents the fact that Emma had the life that could have been hers, brought up by their mother, being part of the popular crowd in school.

Audrey resents her too, resents the fact that Emma abandoned her for Nina and the rest of those airheads, forgot the fact that she and Audrey were ever best friends.

She doesn’t share with Piper that a part of her still loves Emma, thinks of her even when she’s with Rachel, wishes things could have been different.



For samparker, Teen Wolf, Derek/Chris, it's different than with Kate

Derek could have been forgiven for having his doubts about getting into this relationship – Chris was an Argent, after all, and he had already had his fingers burned there with Kate.

But as he got to know Chris better, he realised that they may be siblings, but the name was all they shared.

With Chris, Derek knew he could trust him, believed now his feelings were genuine, knew this was a relationship that could work.





For katleept, Faith+/any, So I've got a soft side; tell anybody, and I'll kill ya.


It had been a mistake, letting her guard down with Xander, spending that night with him.

Now he’s trying to reason with her soft side, but Faith’s not stupid, she knows the Scoobies sent him there, obviously didn’t believe her that it was Buffy who killed that guy.

She shouldn’t have let him see that side of her, and Angel might think he was saving Xander by bursting in when he did, but if he hadn’t, her softer side might just have kicked in and she’d have let him go.


For daria234, Arrow, angry sex is the best sex

For his best friend and boyfriend, Oliver has sure given Dig a lot of reasons to be pissed at him.

The number of times Oliver’s kept secrets from him, his involvement in kidnapping the mother of Dig’s child, Dig could be forgiven for walking away.

But for all their fights, the make up sessions are what makes it worthwhile, and the reason Dig will never leave.


For sandrine, Chess, Freddie/Anatoly, opening gambit

The first time Anatoly Sergievsky met Freddie Trumper, he thought he was pretty much the idiot described in all the newspapers right before the match.

When Anatoly made his opening move which Freddie reacted badly to, eventually leading to him throwing the chessboard to the floor and storming out like a two year old, he felt he’d been proved right.

But as he got to know Freddie the man, not Freddie his rival, Anatoly realised there was more to him than the way he had initially appeared.


For eternal_moonie, Heroes Reborn, Tommy/Hiro, Legacy of the Master of Time and Space

At one time, Tommy had hated his powers as being the reason he could never lead a normal life, but that was before he truly understood them.

But now he knows he got them from Hiro Nakamura, the Master of Time and Space, and he finally understands just how much he has to live up to.

It’s on him now to save the world, or at least as many people as he can, and Tommy knows he has to do this for Hiro, to finally live up to his legacy.


For notoriousreign, The Originals, Cami, I deserve better

She knows that becoming involved with Klaus Mikaelson is a mistake – he’s a thousand year old vampire with daddy issues, he has a child with one of her friends, anyone could see it was a recipe for disaster.

Yet something kept drawing her back to him over and over again.

It was the Aurora incident that made her realise she couldn’t do it any more, that she had to walk away from the relationship, because she was worth so much more, needed a fresh start away from the crazy, that she deserved better.
