Backfisch85

We’re just over two weeks out from the Dragonfire Exchange reveals, and we wanted to take a moment to sit with what this event became.

We are so proud of every single submission.

What started as an idea turned into a body of work that spans softness, violence, humour, intimacy, absurdity, devotion, and everything in between. The talent in this ship continues to be something special.

We put together this digest so you can take your time moving through everything that was created. If you missed anything on reveal, this is your map back in. Take your time with it!

Please take a moment to: 💕 leave kudos 💬 drop a comment 🔁 reblog and share

That kind of engagement matters more than people say out loud, and this community is built on that kind of reciprocity.

The creators in this ship are incredible. We are lucky to be in a space where people are still making, still sharing, still choosing these characters again and again. That is what keeps a fandom alive.

Thank you to everyone who participated, supported, followed along, or even just felt curious about the exchange. It all contributes to the ecosystem around this ship.

We’re already looking forward to doing more of this and continuing to celebrate Violetshipping together.

Love you all. Take care. Happy reading and viewing.
