For posting about your fictional writing (fandom or original) and linking people around! Kind of like a mix between the Fic Recs thread, the Writing thread, and the Drawing thread--but here it's less asking questions and throwing out other people's stuff, and more about showing off your own! Any written medium is fine (poetry, novels, scripts) but for the sake of consistency (and making it easier for people who've just gotten into a fandom to find stuff from Kintsugi peeps) there's a couple format notes that would be cool if you followed: If you want to include wordcounts, other tags, or links to stuff like meta/art that goes alongside with it, feel free! And chapter updates are more than welcome here--if it's an update to a fic you've posted earlier in the thread, you can either post the update alone following the format above, or quote your first post and just tag in the link to the new chapter. Either works! Happy posting y'all, let's show off our stuff!!
Title: The Picture of Gorthaur the Cruel Fandom: Tolkien's Legendarium (Lord of the Rings and related works) Characters/Ships: Annatar/Celebrimbor (abusive), OMC/Celebrimbor Rating: T Warnings: No to underage, yes to abuse.

Title: Cold Fandom: Hunter x Hunter Characters/Ships: Illumi/Killua (abusive), Gon, Alluka Rating: E (on AO3 it's listed as "not rated" because I think of E as being mostly for graphic sex scenes, which is not... the primary thing about this fic.) Warnings: Rape, underage, gore, death, abuse, depression? Uh... all of it. Literally, just, all of it. The piece is horror.

Obviously the first thing I post here is going to have to be the thing i created my AO3 for, which has six kudos which is six kudos more than it deserves probably.

Title: A Diplomatic Mission Fandom: Sherlock BBC, Tolkien (the movies, to be honest, but it doesn't actually make any difference) Characters/Ships: Mycroft Holmes/Saruman the White/Grey/Black/Rainbow/Whatever (after he's evil, basically) Rating: E Warnings: None of the official ones, but the fucking is sort of black-flavoured I guess? Not extremely. Summary: Mycroft Holmes has been sent on an important diplomatic errand to the aggressive little country run by the so-called wizard Saruman the White. He has high hopes of an interesting mental sparring match, but things take a turn that he certainly doesn't expect. Link: Here

Title: With Pearl and Ruby Glowing Fandom: Disney animated canon and various other cartoons, story structure inspired heavily by Chuck Palahniuk's "Haunted" Characters/Ships: A vast multitude; no focal characters as it's a set of interconnected vignettes for as many characters as we can think of Rating: M Warnings: Everything; noncon, violence, sexual/physical/emotional/mental abuse, all of the above happening to kids as well as adults (no graphic sex or violent detail but it's clear what's going on) Summary: The characters are members of a rape survivors' support group held in an old theatre.

Status: Ongoing Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11532591/chapters/25890336 I'm having ridiculous amounts of fun building this world; the co-writers and I have pages and pages of background and general interactions as well as the Stories About. "Fun" isn't quite the word for the subject matter, but it's certainly fascinating in a very unsettling way how many and how different the stories are getting.
Title: my heart is cold, the sky is dark, i’m curled up in the ashes Fandom: Steven Universe Characters/Ships: Pearl and Amethyst primarily; Pearlmethyst, past PearlRose. Rating: Explicit Warnings: Major character death, attempted suicide, explicit sexual content, and unhealthy relationships.

Alternatively: Asriel doesn't miss the warning signs, exactly. He doesn't even know what a warning sign is. (or, unprofessional summary: A fic focused on unhealthy relationships, patterns of behaviour and the Why of why Asriel thinks of them as both special bad kids who no one else can relate to, magical plot reasons aside) Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/12745707

I don't know if there's anyone here who's played Radiant Historia, is interested in fanfic of it, and is not already familiar with mine, but just in case, my most recent fic: Title: The Role of Dramatic Irony in Political Theater Fandom: Radiant Historia Characters/Ships: Rosch, Stocke Rating: G Warnings: None. But lots of major plot spoilers and bad puns. Summary: Some time after the true ending, Rosch drags Stocke to a party for political reasons, where he will have to be polite and friendly to a room full of Alistellian politicians of varying degrees of competence, corruption, and obnoxiousness. Stocke gets passive-aggressive revenge. Rosch suffers. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/19286497
I've posted pieces of this here and there scattered through the transformers thread, but I haven't posted the whole big thing before, and I'm trying to pick it back up again tonight or tomorrow, so this thread is a nice thing to trip across :D Title: Together Fandom: Transformers (idw1 comicsverse) Words: 107,893 Characters/Ships: So many. Too many. Rating: Explicit (individual chapters are individually rated) Warnings: Placed on individual chapters where applicable Summary: Have you heard of kink bingo on dreamwidth?

I'm not there yet, but I have a spreadsheet Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/6320311

But failure after failure certainly dulls the appeal of the dream, turns it into anxiety and dread. Cigarettes help, a bit. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/17290061 Spoiler: Notes This might be one of my favourite things i've written, even if it's just a oneshot.
