Alphabet fic meme

Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for starting a fic title? One fic per line, ‘A’ and 'The’ do not count for 'a’ and ’t’. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count.

So I'm going to be lazy and go from backwards on the AO3 list (thus a lot of these will be from 2025), mainly because I should really be heading off to bed right now, but I just ate so I figured I'd give my digestive system some time to digest... {yeah I'm still going to regret that in the morning anyway.}

A: The Aftereffects (Roswell/Smallville, Michael/Zatanna, 2009)

B: Baking Cookies (MCU, Wanda & Billy & Tommy, 2025)

C: Coffee (Doc, Amy/Jake, 2025)

D: Dreams (X-Men, Madelyne & Nathan, 2025)

F: First Kiss (MCU, Bucky/Mel, 2025)

G: Gloves Off (X-Men Evolution, Cyclops/Rogue, 2025)

H: Her Avengers (MCU, Mel, 2025)

I: Instincts (Buffyverse/Smallville, Angel/Chloe, 2009)

J: James (Harry Potter/X-Men, Mystique!Lily/James, 2012)

K: Kissed by Flames (X-Men Evolution, Jean/Magma, 2025)

L: Love Token (Doc, Amy/Jake, 2025)

M: Mad About You (Supergirl TV, Kara/Maxwell, 2018)

N: New Costumes (X-Men Evolution, Cyclops/Rogue, 2025)

O: Once Upon A Time (X-Men, Madelyne & Nathan, 2025)

P: Parasailing (Life With Derek/Jurassic Park, Casey & Derek & Eric & Ben, 2010)

R: Right Thing (MCU, Mel, 2025)

S: Stumble (MCU, Kate/Yelena, 2025)

T: time and tide aftermath (MCU, Peggy/Jack, 2015)

U: Underneath the Tree (Harry Potter/X-Men, Mystique & Lily, 2012)

V: Visions of the Future (Harry Potter/X-Men, Mystique/Destiny & Mystique!Lily/James, 2012)

W: Where is he? (Supergirl TV, Kara/Maxwell, 2016)

Y: You're like an angel (X-Men Evolution, Cyclops/Rogue, 2025)

Z: Zombie-Free (Smallville/Zombieland, Chloe/Tallahassee, 2010)

Looks like that is only 3 missing out of 160 works listed at AO3... but according to my fic community

harpiewriting I really have 654 (sometimes I group my drabbles together at AO3 plus I think of a lot of the older stuff isn't there). Still not shabby at all I think. Can't believe I don't have E or X (I apparently never made the X- pun/titles like The Gifted did their episodes and various comics have done). Q is a little more easier to understand for why I'm missing it not a lot of words are coming to my head with that letter, other than maybe question - LOL.

I also feel like I should get more creative with my titles I think...

To Anonymous

I am referencing this post, and the anonymous comment left there some time during the night/morning.

In reply: No, doing my own writing comm thing and making icons next year: it’s actually about other things such as the comm you referenced, things that have been going on all year, not just the last few months or the length of the exchange as you just assumed. Like, I want to make icons, if you must know aka improve my skills beyond good cropping. I’m also doing my own writing comm thing to see what I can do on my own after being on other writing comms for years. They’ve been great, but I’m wanting to see what I can do by myself. The same goes for the iconning comms I’m on. I want to see what I can do by just focusing on them and not trying other comms like bingos or whatever.

Rarest of Rarepairs Ficathon

Discovered a ficathon over at

toothpastejuice which is currently hosting Rarest of Rarepairs Ficathon and looking for prompts for rarepairs with "50 works or under on AO3".

Prompting and Fills open: October 13, 2025
Prompting Closes: January 25, 2026
Fills will remain open after prompting closes.

While there is a wide arrange already, I figured I'd add to the prompts since I have quite a few rarepairs - so I added {so far} some prompts for Doc (Amy/Jake), Supergirl (Kara/Maxwell), Stargirl (Henry Jr/Courtney), SkyMed (Hayley/Wheezer), X-Men (Jean/Pyro, Jean/Magma, Rogue/Lance, Rogue/Colossus, Rogue/Wanda, Scott/Wanda), Saved by the Bell (Zack/Jessie), Boy Meets World (Shawn/Topanga/Cory, Shawn/Topanga).

Will probably add more if I can think of any others.

__________________

I've been thinking about doing a Once Upon a Time rewatch and maybe dipping my toes back into that fandom again with some new fic if I feel inspired - or maybe not (no pressure, self). I didn't do it earlier in the year when I thought about it because our internet connection was less than awesome despite costing way too much money - and with Disney+ stuff I had to download to watch or else it would be endless buffering but a few months ago we switched (from Verizon to Comcast/Xfinity or whatever it's called) and the change has been dramatic for pretty much the same price - so now I don't have that problem. Honestly I didn't know how bad our internet was until we finally switched.

Anyway now that I can just stream it and don't have to download every freaking episode - I can do it and I had almost talked myself out of it but yesterday someone posted a podfic of one of my last OUaT fics and I'm going to take that as a sign and start that re-watch.

Oh, and here's that podfic...

Don't take anything back to the lab that looks like it might hatch real soon-especially if it is transparent something inside is moving or it appears to be lighted from within.	If the phone lines are dead and you hear footsteps upstairs and you say "Tom Tom is that you?" and Tom does not answer run away.	Don't open the closed door especially if you hear scratching heavy breathing or the voice of a dear relative whom you THOUGHT was dead.	As a general rule don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.	If it's late at night and your dog suddenly perks up his ears and growls lowly in his throat never EVER say "Whassa matter Boy? Gotta go out?"	And the #1 rule for surviving a horror movie: DON'T HAVE SEX!!!
Never say that you'll be right back because you won't.	If the creepy bag lady of the town tries to give you some advice TAKE IT! For some reason she always seems to know what she is talking about during her brief moments of lucidity.	Always check the back seat of your car.	Never go for a walk by yourself especially in the wilderness.	If you open a door and the room you see is not the room that should be there do not explore it. In fact even if you close the door and see the correct room after re-opening it vacate the house.	If you're ever lost in the woods filming a documentary don't stop and collect little stick figures.
When you're searching a house because you think there's something dangerous there for God's sake turn the lights on!	Never look under the stairs or the bed or in the closet or the cellar attic etc.	Avoid going to isolated research stations whenever possible. Arctic weather stations foreboding pacific atolls distant space stations and island bases for gene-splicing corporations top the list.	Never accept a job as a camp counselor.	If on a stormy night you find a window open which you thought was previously closed do not close it. It may be your only way out when whatever has come in through it is chasing you.	Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're really sure you know what you are doing.
Do NOT drink alcohol if you are underage.	If some guy comes to your door who looks exactly like an ancestor of yours who "died" 200 years before claiming to be a cousin from England SHUT THE DOOR!	If you're searching for something that caused a mysterious noise and find out that it's just the cat leave the room immediately if you value your life.	If someone tells you "Wait right here" heed that person's order and don't go anywhere.	Never unlock the doors and look outside.	Stay away from certain geographical locations some of which are listed here: Amityville Elm Street Transylvania Nilbog (you're in trouble if you recognize this one!) the Bemuda Triangle or any small town in Maine.
Anniversary nights of executions horrible murders or terrifying rituals should be viewed with fear. Especially on the spot where the event took place. Most especially on even century anniversaries. And certainly if you or a friend is somehow descended from one of the original participants.	Never back out of one room into another without looking. It's always behind you.	Do not take ANYTHING from the dead.	When you are trapped in a strange old house with your date NEVER say: "Let's try the basement!" or "Look! The stairs up to the attic!"	Never assume that everything is going to be all right. It won't be.	When approaching a room with a door that hasn't been opened in decades and the knob begins to slowly turn back and forth on its own back away! Do NOT ask loudly "Who's there?"
Never bathe especially when in the house alone.	Nothing is ever over if it is still nighttime.	Never trust your best boy/girl friend. As soon as the monster or spirit can it's going to take over his/her mind and that friend will turn on you.	Never turn off the radio or TV when an emergency news bulletin is on - unless you want to be in the next bulletin.	If you find a town that looks deserted it's probably that way for a reason. Take the hint and stay away.	Do not search the basement especially if the power has just gone out.
