#cordia

Cora: do you have a boyfriend?

Lydia: Yes, I do

Cora: that means we’ll have to find him a new girlfriend

How to Participate

Simply create something about Lydia. Fic, art, gifsets, moodboards, fic rec lists, playlists/mix and anything else you can think of are all welcome. If you want your work reblogged, simply tag it #LydiaWeek2026 or tag @lydiamartinappreciation. If you write fic on ao3, you can add it to the Lydia Martin Week 2026 collection.

All works must be Lydia-centric and Lydia-positive. A further list of rules can be found here.

The event is running from 14th to 20th September 2026 but late submissions are accepted and you do not have to create something for every day.

Prompts

NOTE: These are just a guide. You can produce visual work for the writing prompts and you can produce written work for the visual prompts. You can use the prompts to produce something that isn't writing or visual (E.G. a playlist/mix). You can combine prompts. You can post something for Day 1's prompt on Day 5. You can create multiple works for only one prompt. You can choose not to use the prompts. All of this is just for fun.

Writing Prompts

Day 1: Lydia & Power

This could be a reflection on Lydia's own power (supernatural or otherwise), it could be about a time Lydia felt powerful or powerless, it could be about Lydia's relationship to someone in power, or it could be many other things. Honestly, the possibilities are endless

Day 2: Being a Banshee

What does it mean to be a banshee? What elements of lore could you explore? Are there any elements of banshee lore the show doesn't address but you think are interesting? Are there any other banshees Lydia interacts with and what do these relationships look like? There are so many ways to interpret this prompt (including probably some I haven't listed)

Day 3: What-If Wednesday

A classic prompt. What-If Wednesday is here for all your missing scene, fix-it and alternate universe needs.

Day 4: Lydia & Pack

The pack is the heart of the show. What does pack mean to Lydia? This could be a deep introspection of her connections or just a fluffy work about pack-bonding. As always, anything goes!

Day 5: Lydia & Passion

This could just be a very passionate fic or you could consider what Lydia's passions are. She clearly likes mathematics a lot, she has some interest in languages (or at least Latin). You could explore Lydia's hobbies in canon or come up with your own headcanons. Or you could interpret this prompt in a totally different way.

Day 6: Lydia & Pain

Banshees can't take pain but that doesn't mean they can't feel it. This could be an exploration of Lydia's own pain (mental or physical) or Lydia dealing with someone else's pain. Angst! Sickfic! Hurt/(no) comfort! Anything else you can think of!

Day 7: Free Day

Let your imagination run wild! You can do whatever you want for this prompt.

Visual Prompts

Day 1: Favourite Dynamic/Relationship

This could be romantic, platonic, familiar, antagonistic etc. And if you don't want to pick a favourite that's okay too. Any relationship you feel deserves to be explored can be used on this day, especially the underrated ones.

Day 2: Parallels

What parallels exist between Lydia and other characters on Teen Wolf? Between her and other characters from different shows or films? Between her and herself?

Day 3: What-If Wednesday

A classic prompt. What-If Wednesday is here for all your missing scene, fix-it and alternate universe needs. Maybe one of the parallels from yesterday can inspire an AU?

Day 4: Quotes / Song Lyrics

This could be quotes from the show, it could be quotes from poetry, other tv shows or movies, books, songs, or anywhere else. I'd count incorrect quote memes too. Anything goes!

Day 5: Lydia & Colour

Lots of ways to interpret this one. You could do something monochrome (I know you guys enjoyed that prompt last year). You could focus on several colours. You could choose colours from the show or your own favourites. The world is your oyster!

Day 6: Lydia & Elements

This could be fire/water/air/earth. This could be wood/fire/earth/metal/water. This could be elements of the periodic table. You could pick just one elements or use multiple. (Combine this prompt with Day 3 for a ATLA AU, anyone?)

Day 7: Free Day

The Teen Wolf Rarepair Mini/Big Bang Writer Sign Ups are live!

(For more details about this event, click here to be taken to the event information.)

As a reminder, writer sign ups run until May 3, and summaries will be due May 10. We have created this long sign up period to ensure that writers have plenty of time to work on their fics ahead of signing up, and hopefully minimize the amount of pinch hitters we need.

The links below will take you to the sign up form. If you are signing up as a prematched team, then only one team member needs to fill it out.

also why stiles thinks she must be in love with derek because she keeps helping him, which keeps cueing more bi panic in him than he knew was possible

in which cora comes back a lot sooner and that clears a lot of things up immediately. lydia/cora CPR scene. derek should probably win some kind of award for how unfazed he is about the development once he’s sure that his sister’s gonna be okay. stiles tries to be all mature, and consoling, and no one’s ever looked more confused about anything in their life.

“you thought—me and lydia?”

“let’s see, you’re hot and bossy, she’s hot and bossy, what’s not adding up?”

“i’m not that bossy,” derek says, and then, “wait.”

“don’t even try to be humble about this, mr ‘it took me three years to get a refrigerator for my apartment but you better believe the train car i lived in for a month got a pull up bar.’”

“that was—for strength training.”

“yeah, and i do kegels for my health,” stiles says. derek blinks at him. “joke! i’m obviously joking.”

“kegels,” derek says, and stiles would love to take back his entire life. or just die right here, and respawn back where he was thirty seconds ago. “what is that, exactly?”

but he looks… does he almost sound intrigued?

looking at stiles, and now his breath’s catching.

“you know what?” stiles says. “it has been a pleasure oversharing with you. wanna go somewhere and overshare some more?”

it shouldn’t work. there’s no world where stiles would’ve tried a word of this on purpose.

my gfs lydia and cora who are also married to each other (stiles is here too ig)
