Highly Irregular Fargo Week

FRIDAY: Never Met in Canon

The cast of characters in the Fargo universe is huge. So obviously there are quite a few who haven’t crossed paths on screen. What would happen if they did?

THURSDAY: Movie Characters

The 1996 Coen Brothers movie started it all. Every character from the film is considered highly irregular, and therefore eligible for this week's event. Let's show them some love!

Now that Highly Irregular Fargo Week has officially commenced, here's a friendly reminder to show your appreciation for works shared during the event.

Even if you're not participating as a creator, feel free to browse the AO3 collection and leave kudos and/or comments on fics you've enjoyed. You can also scroll through the #hifargoweek2026 tag on Tumblr to like and/or reblog posts that strike your fancy.

Keep following this blog for updates and reminders as the event continues. The collection will remain open for submissions until Sunday, July 19, at approximately 11:59 pm EDT. Eligible works posted on Tumblr during the week will be reblogged here.

"I will die anyway, you know." Calamita says, on the ride back to Kansas City.

(OR: He turns thirty and lives. That's the tragedy.)

WEDNESDAY: Missing Scenes

We only see a small part of our favorite characters' lives on screen. What happens in the moments we don't see? The conversations between scenes? The aftermath of important happenings?

TUESDAY: Rarepairs

Why settle for just one rare character when you can have two (or more)? Today’s the day to pay tribute to your favorite rarepair — or trio, or foursome, or… You get the drift.

Ebal takes out his pistol. He taps his fingers against the chamber absently. "You know what that means?"

Calamita's sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall. Rather, that's where he collapsed, hand pressed to his rapidly bleeding navel. "No." He says.

Everyone else has gone. He supposes that they think that he'll die, and so they left him alone with Ebal, who, in a way, has become his maker. He is very tired. He knows that it's because of the injury.

"It means," Ebal says, pops the chamber of the pistol open to check the bullets before snapping it shut again. "That you have killed over a hundred people before you are thirty."

(The Milligan massacre.)
