With the year ending, let’s look back at what we did! What are your favorite creations you did or the ones you think deserve more love? Send this to 5 other creators to share the love.

Well my first thought was that I didn't actually create all that much in terms of fan fic in 2021 and that this would be a very short list. But if I expand out the eligible material to include wikiDeeks posts, I definitely have more to choose from. Thank you so much to anyone who's read anything I wrote, and especially to those who were kind enough to leave a review or comment. That feedback is incredibly encouraging.

5. Support and Defend. My take on the missing interviews from "Overdue." I wanted to see Deeks' co-workers advocating on his behalf and we got very little of that in the episode. I guess this was my small way to defend him, a common theme from this list.

4. Will there ever be a "Deeks, M"? We STILL have so many questions! I refuse to give up on this even if I'm just tilting at windmills. This kick-off post to a wikiDeeks series of fan fics, each addressing one of our outstanding questions about Deeks' background, was our way of trying to keep it on everyone's radar.

3. Remembering Ravil Isyanov. I was saddened by the passing of the actor who played Kirkin and brought so much humor and joy to his role and to viewers. This was my attempt to honor his contributions to the show.

2. The Past is Prologue. My own attempt at a "Deeks, M." story, told from the perspective of young public defender Deeks with lots of flashbacks to earlier events from his life. I lost count of the number of questions I answered, LOL. Everything from why he changed from lawyer to cop and what happened after he shot his dad, to why he keeps his hair so long. I was very thorough.

1. Dear Mr. Gemmill: An Open Letter in Defense of Competent Deeks. The Deeks at FLETC storyline hit a nerve for me and, I think, most Deeks fans. Once upon a time I had written a wikiDeeks open letter to Shane Brennan about canon consistency, so it seemed a natural follow-up to post one to R. Scott Gemmill about his poor treatment of our favorite character. That ECO liked it was a thrill, but even without his feedback this would have been the piece I was most proud of in 2021 because it was all about defending my favorite character.

After Marty had caught his breath and let the sound of the waves sooth his racing pulse, he staggered to his feet, filed back to his Jeep, put on a t-shirt, and then drove back to Carmen's generic low-rise apartment in the sea of generic low-rise apartment buildings that made up nearby Palms, just inland from Venice. He thought he might have spotted a tail but really had no idea, although it no longer mattered since the Russians knew where Carmen lived, and his returning there after the big meet would be his natural next move. He parked, still on guard for potential trouble as he walked to her apartment door.

After a night spent at the same Glendale safe house, Marty returned to the station bright and early the next morning, his veins already pumped full of caffeine. He arrived at Bates' office to find him engaged in conversation with a petite brunette with long, wavy hair pulled back in a loose ponytail. He hesitated in the doorway before Bates gestured for him to enter.
