Magicians Settings Week: March 27 - April 2 2023

Let’s explore the wild & wonderful settings this fandom has given us! Each day will provide a choice of two settings to use as inspiration for fanworks.

DAY 1: Brakebills or a hedge safehouse (Monday, March 27th)

DAY 2: the Underworld or the Whitespire throne room (Tuesday, March 28th)

DAY 3: the Muntjac or Baba Yaga’s penthouse (Wednesday, March 29th)

DAY 4: the Neitherlands or the Library (Thursday, March 30th)

DAY 5: Antarctica or Ibiza (Friday, March 31st)

DAY 6: the cottage at the mosaic or Indiana (Saturday, April 1st)

DAY 7: free choice (Sunday, April 2nd)

How do I participate? There is no sign-up for this event; simply post your work to AO3 and add it to the  ✨Where The Magic Happens collection✨ or post on Tumblr and tag us in it. 

Do I have to write fic to participate? Not at all! All types of fanwork are highly encouraged. Draw a picture, make a playlist, record a podfic, manip some fun images, write some meta – all wonderful. There are no requirements for length/size, ship or lack of ship, genre, or rating, either. Just have fun with it! Although we offer two prompts per day, you can do as many prompts as you would like. If you want to do one prompt per day, cool! If you want to do one prompt the entire week, also cool! If you want to do all the prompts, super cool! It’s completely up to you.

This event is meant to be chill. Let’s explore all the weird and wild places in this universe! The prompts are there to get the plot bunnies hopping, not make you feel like you have to write something detailed about architecture or pay a ton of attention to geography. (Let’s be real - the writers never did!) A fic that simply takes place in the setting is fine! You can focus solely on the alternative prompts, too.

Looking for more inspiration about a particular setting? Check out our resources post!

How Did That Basket of Peaches Get There? Or, A Secret Royal Wedding, Bitches! (with Art) - Chapter 2 - EliotQueliot - The Magicians (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Hi, I finally painted my drawing from last year! I originally posted this art with the fic for @magicianschallenges  for Where the Magic Happens: Magicians Settings Week, March 27 - April 2 2023

This art and story are for the Day 2 prompt, "The Whitespire throne room," Tuesday, March 28, 2023, The Magicians Challenges : Magicians Settings Week Recap (tumblr.com)

The proportions look a bit strange to me now in some places, but there were other elements of this drawing that I loved, and so I wanted to paint it as I made it. I originally drew this only three short months after returning to art following years of absence; and the deadlines!! I somehow convinced myself it was a good idea to make something for every single day of the week-long challenge--both art and fic where I could (though in some cases one or the other)...and even though I started from the time they posted the announcement, I already had several WIPs going...craziness. Anyway, this fic is still one of my favorites, and the way I believe it actually happened!

Stealing a Book Titled Quentin Coldwater (1704 words) by EliotQueliot Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Magicians (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh, Margo Hanson & Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater & Margo Hanson Characters: Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater, Margo Hanson, Julia Wicker, 40th Timeline William "Penny"Adiyodi, 23rd Timeline William "Penny" Adiyodi, Alice Quinn (The Magicians), Kady Orloff-Diaz Additional Tags: queliot, The Library of the Neitherlands (The Magicians), Theft, Books, True Love, Grief/Mourning, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Canonical Character Death, Character Death Fix, Quentin Coldwater Lives

Summary: Eliot—hadn't been able to bear it one more day. One afternoon at three p.m. when Bambi asked him if he wanted to speak to her about Quentin—he just broke. Finally.

Notes:

This is canon divergent from midway through 5x01, "Do Something Crazy." The point of divergence is the scene in which Margo says, "On that note, it's three o'clock, when I usually ask you if you'd like to talk about Quentin."
