2018 Year in Review
Jan. 3rd, 2019 01:47 amLast-year’s fic roundup. For reference, previous round-ups can be found here (though I haven't migrated all the old livejournal links to dreamwidth so if you're really interested in the back-back catalog, you'll either need to do some searching on AO3 or ask me for a specific link).
Sarah, Plain and Tall
You’re My Golden Hour.
Jacob has never been a demonstrative man but he finds himself wanting to tell her how he missed her, how when the rain finally came, it sounded all the sweeter because he knew it meant he could bring her home to him.
Sarah Wheaton/Jacob Witting. 1,075 words. (April 12, 2018)
Sky High
No One Likes a Puzzle Too Easy to Solve, a new chapter of Come And Save My Life.
“A yes with conditions is a yes wrapped around a no,” she says, sounding like one of their fortune cookies.
Warren Peace/Layla Williams. 397 words. (December 2, 2018)
The White Princess
Chapter 4 of Watch Me Burn, Watch Me Fall with thefairfleming.
“What did you…” she starts, “I mean. You actually recorded a girl while you were having…” Her voice trails off, until she’s only mouthing the word “sex” with no sound. It’s so missish, so out of character, that Henry is unspeakably charmed.
Elizabeth of York/Henry VII. 978 words. (January 20, 2018)
Court and Spark.
Hattie bustles around with brisk efficiency, laying out drying cloths, pouring a pitcher of cool water into the bath when Lizzie complains that it’s too hot. When Henry first started coming to visit Lizzie during her baths, Hattie had been scandalized and awkward; now she treats him like another piece of furniture.
Elizabeth of York/Henry VII. 700 words. (December 1, 2018)
A Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series
Forgive Us Our Sins.
Ygritte cocks her head to the side and smiles at him, a real smile showing the crooked teeth that he finds so charming. “Maybe they just haven’t sinned badly enough t’need to say it. Have ye sinned, Jon?” Priest & prostitute AU – BDSM, dom/sub, prostitution, sacrilege, and crossdressing, hooray!
Jon Snow/Ygritte. 1,875 words. (April 23, 2018)
Light The Fire That Guides Me Home.
As he looks down at Ros – his wife – and remembers just how it felt to spill inside her for the first time, for his first time, Jon is shamed at how little he cares that it was reckless, and how very much he wishes he’d been so impulsive long ago.
Jon Snow/Ros. 1,063 words. (May 20, 2018)
Your Kisses Hard Like Armor.
For several long moments, Jon can only stand and stare at her, looking nearly like a startled stag. Would that make her the huntress? Sansa smiles at the notion. After the fight.
Jon Snow/Sansa Stark. 1,066 words. (July 24, 2018)
Find The Beginning.
“Do you wish to destroy me?” he rasps, his hands sliding down to rest on the sides of her neck, his fingers lacing together at her nape. Val discovers Jon likes it when she bites.
Jon Snow/Val. 646 words. (September 24, 2018)
You Could Make This Place Beautiful.
It’s safer in the dark. In the dark they’re equally lovely and unlovely, real and unreal. In the dark, there’s nothing to remind them of who they are in the light. Beauty and the Beast AU where they both consider themselves the Beast.
Arya Stark/Willas Tyrell. 2,076 words. (October 1, 2018)
Show Me Where My Armor Ends.
They do their best to make their peace unpeaceful. They squabble like hens, clucking and scratching, pecking at one another for little reason. She’s never known someone so adept with a jab or a jape, capable of mixing fondness and scorn so seamlessly.
Daenerys Targaryen/Jaime Lannister. 909 words. (October 23, 2018)
It’s Good To Be The King, part of The Long Way To You written with thefairfleming.
He’s been dreaming of her, waking in sweat-damp sheets with a painful erection and the imagined taste of her still in his mouth. Maybe it’s the novelty of her costume, or maybe it’s just Margaery herself, but he finds himself quite losing his head. The King and his consort prepare for a costume ball.
Jon Snow/Margarey Tyrell. 1,853 words. (October 26, 2018)
Crown Your Hatred.
Robb Stark is as much a maid as she was when she first lay with his uncle, and even younger, but if he regrets his inexperience, he doesn’t show it; he submits himself to her with wretched eagerness, grateful for every touch, desperate for her in a way that only highlights his youth.
Barbrey Dustin/Robb Stark. 963 words. (December 24, 2018)

Total: 12 fics/ficlets, 4 fandoms, and 12,701 words.
