#chenpath-art

I'm late sharing a thing, but I wrote a thing!

For the @dbhbigbang run by @random-nerd-posts and @saruman!

I was paired with the lovely @chenpath-art and together we made a Detroit: Become Human Frozen AU! Her first art piece can be found here!

So far 7/12 chapters have been posted, and I've been updating every even numbered day! So that means the fic will officially finish on July 24!

Summary: King Richard has been hiding a terrible secret all his life, but when he's accidentally outed at his own coronation he flees, cursing the kingdom of Detroit with an eternal winter. His younger brother Connor ventures out to find him, finding an unlikely companion in mountain man Gavin and a magical snowman called Hank. Together, they try to stop the winter and save summer before they all freeze to death.

I hope y'all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Dark Web, arranged marriage AU, historical AU, 600+ words

Prompt: We are friends, are we not?

Itwasn’t yet midnight, but the air in the ballroom was already hotand stifling. The mass ofbodies shifting around in an approximation of waltz was enough tomake one nauseous, and the glimmering lights invited migraine. Therewas a room with refreshments somewhere in there, at least in theory,but Andromeda wasn’t quite sure if she was supposed to find it onher own, or if she should askher husband to escort her.

Husband.That would take some getting used to as well. Sofar they got along just fine,though to be fair, they hardly ever met outside of a confusedbreakfast here, a surprising dinner there, and, of course, the socialevents. There were too many damn social events.Henrydidn’t seem to enjoy the crowds any more than his wife did, buteven so he turned down few invitations. Why, she couldn’t evenguess, but she went along with it nevertheless, glad to spend timewith him.

Afeather-light touch on her elbow. She looked up, taken aback by howconcerned Henry appeared to be. He quickly withdrew his hand, as ifafraid someone might spot them.

“Issomething the matter?” she asked as quietly as the noise permitted.

“Youdo realise that if you’d rather… spend time with your friendshere, it is… I won’t hold it against… well, you can. I know I’mnot much of a company.”

Andromedablinked slowly. “Do I look like a person with friends?” she askedwith disarming sincerity.

Henrychuckled, then realise she was being serious. “Sort of? Acouple?”

“Well… perhaps. We are friends, are we not?”

Astrange expression flashed across his face. Ifpressed to describe it, the only thing that would come to her mindwas… he looked equally pleased, and surprised, and just a littlenervous, as if he didn’t know what to do with her question.

“I…I hope so.”

Andromedaopened her fan, and started fanning herself, though it did verylittle to dispel the oppressive heat. “And anyway, I don’t recognise anyone else in here.”

Thenext thing she knew, Henry was leaning down, so the both of them werehalf-hiding behind her silk fan. “You’re missing out. The hostessinvited the most troublesome set tonight. I’ve seen the seatingarrangement, and I can assure you tonight it’sgoing to bea dinner with a show.”

Shecould feel his breath on her skin, butshe didn’t move away. “I don’t know what you’re talkingabout. Explain?”

3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year 27. favorite fanfic author of the year

3. This one is difficult! I’ve had a somewhat active year, writing-wise, so a lot of content happened. One of my big faves is the final scene in chapter one of Too Close to Home, that is, the confrontation between Connor and Gavin. While there’s only one bed. I had a lot of fun writing it, and I hope it shows. I didn’t think writing Gavin would be so fun.................... love being wrong.
