My Words CinnamonCake. 35F, she/her. Likes pretty boys in love. Sometimes writes but mostly just flails around. http://archiveofourown.org/users/CinnamonCake/pseuds/CinnamonCake
Okay, so I have been here awhile so time for an introduction post!
Iâm A, she/her, of the 35+ gang so yes, I am a fandom old. Have been in one fandom or another for a long time, currently frolicking in The Sandman happy dream scene.
I work in medicine in RL and the past few years have been too long, so I come here for the joy. That said, I have been playing in this fandom sandpit for so long that I have probably read any and every kink known to man, and will probably read anything as long as it is well written. Also, this is a multi-shipping blog, because I think every character deserves the love!
I write on AO3 as CinnamonCake and I also write stories here that you can find tagged as my words.
I also answer prompts if anyone wants to send some my way but please be patient with me, because I move like a slow sloth. If youâve ever sent me a message and I did not answer, I am so sorry, my brain sometimes forgets to work properly, but know that I read it and most probably love you for it <333

As always, picking what prompts to include was really hard thanks to you guys' wonderful brains, but we hope this list will excite many of you! Additional info + plain text versions of the prompts can be found under the cut. Please check the FAQ below before sending asks.
FAQ and Rules
What sort of content can I create for this event?
You can create whatever you want (fic, art, edits, etc). Any fandom is allowed, as well as OC stuff. NSFW is allowed, but please tag your content accordingly! The only thing not allowed is AI-generated content. You're also free to combine these prompts with the prompts of any other event.
Do I need to make 31 things to participate?
Oh heavens no! You can make as much or as little content as you like, skip days when desired, or combine prompts (so for example, write something that covers a prompt from day 1, 2, AND 3). You don't have to do the days in order either, go wild! To be considered a 'completionist', you only have to make sure that at the end of the month, you've covered 31 prompts from 31 different days, but whether you do that in 31 works or just 1 is up to you. Your works can be separate oneshots or one continuous fic, or something in-between.
How do I interpret these prompts?
Creativity is the name of the game here! If you don't understand a prompt, feel free to send us an ask about it. However, the important thing is you can interpret the prompts however you want. For example, 'heat' could be literal (fever, heatstroke, burn wounds) or figurative (somebody getting heat for something). The dialogue prompts are allowed to be slightly rewritten to fit better for the character whose mouth it's coming out of, be that the whumpee, whumpter, or caretaker. As long as you're having fun!
What are these alts about?
If none of the three prompts of a particular day are your cup of tea, you can swap them out for an alt prompt of your choice. This will count as having covered that day for completionists.
How do I tag my works and is there an AO3 collection?
It suffices to tag your work with #ailesswhumptober for us to see and reblog it! Please also tag nsfw content, since we'll be using that tag on this blog too. Tagging the day is optional but does help the mods along.
There will be an AO3 collection like every year. It will be linked here once created (closer to October).
What's this I hear about badges/achievements?
For those who want an extra challenge, we come up with a set of achievements each year in addition to the 'completionist' one for you to strive for. Each achievement you complete comes with a cool little badge, hand drawn by our very own Mod Radio, which you can claim at the end of the event. A full list of the achievements will be linked here once created (closer to October).
That should be all. If you have any additional questions, check our pinned or hit us up in the ask box. Or join our discord maybe, whumping can be a great group activity!

why the FUCK is bones such an underrated character?
star trek 2009, more like: leonard h. mccoy, md, saves an entire motherfucking ship, plus some foreign dignitaries of an almost died-out race and a high ranking captain while literally never complaining ever, instead supporting everyone as best he can, while in an environment that terrifies him
star trek into darkness, Â more like: leonard h. mccoy, md, does a surprise operation on a torpedo and CHEATS DEATH without going mindless with rage, instead working his thinking box even more than ever, while in an environment that terrifies him
star trek beyond, more like: leonard h. mccoy, md, done with allâaâyâallâs shit, casually saves a person with a completely unique physiology, flies an alien ship that nobody knows shit about, flies it again and saves the day, while also planning a surprise birthday party, while in an environment that terrifies him but heâs so dedicated to his job and loves it so much that he canât even consider doing anything else
itâs about being queer itâs about surviving assault itâs about alienation and most of all itâs about how everyone who loved you before might not be able to even look at you now, no matter how many times you try to explain that you didnât ask to die and you didnât ask for that death to leave you only half-eaten when it got bored of you.
This is without even mentioning the broader metaphorical implications of disease and contagion; foreign invasion; colonial or imperial violence; interpersonal abuse; generational trauma; religious trauma; violent cultural assimilation; repressed or suppressed desire; the fear of no longer being able to recognise or relate to someone you love; and on and on and on.
Vampirism is a flexible metaphor that reflects the anxieties and desires of its age and its authors, and I love that for it!

genuinely think that dreamling is one of the best ships around. it's got just the right amount of tragic, just the right amount of 'i don't know what our relationship is, but it's what keeps me afloat and gives me constant moral compass', and the potential for canon deviance is just phenomenal.
Want Hob to be one to save Dream from the fishbowl? Fic authors have got this covered!
Want Dream to retire into the human realm/Hob to join him in Endless royalty? You are SERVED.
It's a ship that has 'slow burn' written all over it with the centennial reunions, cm'on.
That said, has the answer to the question âdid classical Athens do something problematicâ ever, in all its history and all subsequent discussion, been âno?â

the draw of arranged marriage AUs to me is really the way the dubcon of it all binds them together. neither of them have a choice in being here, something else is foisting this upon them whether thatâs their parents or the political situation around them or expectation or something else, but the point is that they donât get that one choice. so they have to make a choice somewhere else, that now that theyâre here, theyâre going to make it work. theyâre each otherâs only allies, in this cage built around them. they may have been coerced into swearing to stand by each other through anything, but they did swear.
itâs not love at first, or second, or third sight. itâs not love in the wedding bed the first time, whether they grit their teeth through it or decide together to forgo that binding step and try to get around it as long as they can. itâs about sharing a bed with a stranger while you learn their nightmares and how they hog the covers. itâs about sharing a name before you even know each otherâs hobbies. the appearances you have to keep up, and the connection you find in both being exhausted by them, laughing together because isnât it ridiculous how you not only have to be married but you have to act like itâs perfect and lovely for everyone else watching. itâs love that creeps up quiet and slow, between shared secrets that make your wedding bands mean something for the first time, and trying to protect each other from the trap youâre both in. and itâs about having the mortifying thought of âoh my god, i have a crush on my wife.â

Summary:
The man is not approximate as dream figures often are. He stands at the railing where the pink river slides beneath, dressed in black from collar to boot, dark hair mussed by a wind Hob canât feel, and every detail of him holds. Holds under a second look, and a third, and nothing ever does, and something at the very back of Hobâs mind lights up in recognition.
Hob stops walking.
The man at the railing doesnât move. He is watching the pink water with a frown, as though it personally offends him, and he is detailed. Thatâs the word that arrives first, before any of the others, before pale and dark and sharp. Detailed, and rendered. Familiar.
***
Or, there is a stranger in Hobâs dream, and Hob could swear heâs seen him before.

âYou were loud,â he says, whispering the words through his teeth. âSloppy.â
âAnd you let me do it,â Hob shoots back, dipping his chin, mouth almost a caress over Dreamâs. The scent of him, of them, sparks like wildfire, and Hob wants to dig his teeth into it. âDidnât stop me. Didnât say a word. Just held my hair and took it.â
Dreamâs breath catches. Itâs quick, but Hob sees it.
âI think you liked coming apart in my hands,â Hob says, voice edged with challenge. âTell me Iâm wrong.â
Dreamâs eyes flash with something too bright and too furious, a beautiful crack in that perfect, cold face of his.
(Or: The horrible ordeal of falling for the one person who always manages to get under your skin.)
