Five years! We've been doing this for five years, can you believe it?? So without further ado, the info for the the Fifth Annual CageBlade Week!
We couldn't have done it without you, and as part of that, we have a banner this year that includes art from two artists*, @agapidraws and @2tunafish. CageBlade Week is all about the community, and we received permission to use these pieces of fanart for the banner from the artists.
Event Info
Dates: 15-21 June 2026 (Mon-Sun)
All forms of fanworks will be accepted - fanfic, fanart, gifset, playlist whatever it may be!
If we somehow missed your post after the end of the event, let us know so we can reblog it! We might be a little slow on the day-to-day but we don’t want to miss anything. The only things we won’t be reblogging are NSFW with minors and explicit noncon. We will reblog late posts.
Make sure to tag your posts with #cagebladeweek (within the first 5 tags, thanks algorithm) and/or @ this blog so we can find and reblog everything.
Participate one day or every day - it doesn’t matter! If you post on an external site (AO3, FFN, DeviantArt) please at least drop a link here so we can reblog it and promote it. There will be an AO3 Collection started closer to the date.
Prompts:
Day 1: bruises/treasure
Day 2: denial/darkness
Day 3: AU of Choice
Day 4: enthusiasm/dawn
Day 5: sleep/mirror
Day 6: future/legacy
Day 7: Free Day!
You may interpret these prompts as strictly or as loosely as your heart desires. You can stick as close or as wide from the prompts as you want. Want to combine two? Go for it! Want to have some other characters cameo or tell a more ensemble tale? Sure - as long as it has Sonya and Johnny at the heart of it.
If you have any questions about prompts and submissions, send us an ask here! We look forward to seeing all the wonderful contributions!
FAQs:
1) Do I have to write in English?: No, you do not! This is a multi-language-friendly event. Post in your language of choice and users can machine translate if needed. If you choose to write in one language and later post translations to English, those translations can also be added to the AO3 collection.
2) Can I write an OT3 fic?: The mods support polyamorous shipping, however this week is for CageBlade specifically. We'd like that contributions focus on Sonya & Johnny's relationship.
3) Well, what if I write a breakup fic and have them hook up with other people? It's still CageBlade, right?: Not for this event. This week is a celebration of CageBlade and how awesome they are together. Want to give us some hurt/comfort, breakup & reconciliation, sure! Whump? Go wild! But we want to see them coming together and realizing how great they are as a couple.
4) What if I don’t like any of the prompts and have ideas of my own?: Then go ahead and write them! Want to explore their friendship before they hooked up? Want to write all AUs? Do you have some art ideas you’re just itching for an excuse to post and draw? The world is your oyster!
*I had intentions on putting a second banner together with just the prompts, but my graphic design skills leave...something to be desired.

If someone had asked her a year ago if she thought she and Johnny would find their way back to each other, she would have asked them if they were on drugs or had suffered a head injury. If they had told her she’d be in a bridal shop in Beverly Hills, trying on dresses for her second wedding, she’d have told them exactly where to stick it.
And yet here she was, with her daughter, goddaughter, and best friend waiting in the outer fitting room. Hell, Johnny had been so excited she was going that only Jax stealing him away for a bachelor trip to Vegas had stopped him from being there too. She couldn’t really blame him; the first time around she had insisted on wearing her dress uniform. Now, with everything that they had gone through, with how many times she had used her uniform to hide from her feelings, she had no desire to repeat and wear it again. If this was to be a new beginning, Sonya wanted it to feel like starting over. Something she wasn’t sure they could or should do completely, but taking the risk was worth it."

" Liu remained silent for a moment, then seemed to make a decision. “Sonya, I want you to come with me.”
“What?”
“Just trust me.” He waved a hand and a blue portal shimmered into existence. “It will only take a moment.”
Practically every time someone had ever said that to Sonya, her life had exploded, but it didn’t feel like the right moment to point that out. Instead, she took a deep breath and followed him through, unsure of what to expect on the other side. She half expected to find herself in Liu’s living room, or whatever he counted as one, but instead she found herself in a dimly lit cave, not unlike the one that held the Jinsei pools under the sky temple.
It was tranquil and totally dominated by the massive hourglass that sat at its centre, the grains falling in a slow steady stream from top to bottom. “Liu?”
His thoughts drifted back to Sonya Blade. Damn what a woman. His younger self would have been all over her and her platinum blonde locks, that captivating gaze, with her blistering blue eyes. Then there was her thighs…
Fuck, maybe he was really starting to feel the buzz of the alcohol finally kick in.

“Hello, welcome to the Happy Bean, may I…oh my goodness…hello gorgeous.” The words tumbled out of his mouth at the attractive blonde woman that had strode up to his counter like she owned the place. Legs for day, and stunning blue eyes. Wow.
“Just give me a coffee, black. It’s been a long day.” She addressed him with a sigh and Johnny frowned.
