#self rec

It's that time of year again for some new Sterek art! My 2026 Sterek Reverse Bang Quickie art prompt was inspired by cute, fluffy animals and this Tumblr post about grooming and dominance between cats and rabbits. Honestly, I couldn't help it. It was too tempting. Yes, we totally get to see the day where Derek is a rabbit and Stiles is a cat. And yes, Derek and Stiles are stubborn assholes who love each other. Obviously! Thanks to the amazing @definitivelydrivel for being my partner-in-crime this round! It was so fun coming up with utter shenanigans that later turns hot and spicy. You basically ran with everything to write such a funny story, and you also reminded me exactly why I love these two dumbasses so much! 😁 To see the full view of the sexy art piece that goes along with the fic, you'll just have to read the whole thing to find it. 🔥🌶️🍑🍆 Without further ado, happy reading and viewing!

Summary:

Stiles' first thought was oh fuck. Stiles' second thought was, why the hell is that rabbit glaring at me? FUCK was his third thought as the rabbit lunged.

In which Derek startles Stiles awake in the middle of the dream, resulting in Stiles' spark turning them into a rabbit and a cat respectively.

Prey Predator x fem!reader, slow burn to smut, developing relationship 

Plot is loosely inspired by Prey, but diverges where this fic starts. The plot matches the movie until the protagonist gets stuck in the Frenchmen’s trap. Instead of letting them take her, our Predator has a different plan…

fic authors self rec! when you get this, reply with your favorite fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers

thank you for the tag lovely @goldiwrites 💖

break me down and i’ll call you mine - pope cody. not just saying this because it’s my most popular fic. i truly don’t think i’ll ever write a fic that i love more. if it’s my magnum opus then i’m ok with that.

you’re a bad idea (but a real good time) - frank langdon. this fic got away from me in the best ways. i never intended it to be more than like 5k words and before i knew it, it was double that. i had so much fun writing it.

is it so much to adore - jack abbot. i loved the concept for this fic and felt really proud of it overall. it’s my favorite of my jack fics.

don’t you ever end up anything but mine - bucky barnes. i know soulmate aus are pretty common but i tried to make mine original and i was very happy with how it turned out. this was a pretty challenging piece for me and it took me a very long time but i ended up being very proud of it.

Or more to the point self appreciation!

I think it’s fair to say we’ve all seen a drop in interaction on tumblr over the last couple of years and one thing that strikes me is that people always seem hesitant to self-rec or repost their own stuff. So I’m giving you an excuse to do it. Put your works back out there for new people to discover.

I know it might seem a little scary, no one wants to seem pushy or braggy but there are so many talented and wonderful people on here that you should get to feel proud of your work and toot your own horn a little bit. Especially when reblogging is literally the only way to get your posts seen.

So here it is. Each week in April there will be a different theme, some will be a specific ask for a particular post, others you can post as many as you like. I’ll list the themes below, reblog your work and tag it #aprilappreciation and tag me too. I may at some point compile all of your reblogs into a Masterlist, depending on how many there are.

This is not limited to writing; artwork, moodboards, gifs are all welcome and encouraged. I’m also not limiting it to a specific fandom. If you come across this and want to play along please go right ahead. The only limitations I’m setting are that the reblogs should be your own work, nothing AI generated and please make sure everything is tagged appropriately.

That being said, it is up to everyone to curate their own experience on here so please do heed all warnings and tags before interacting with any of the reposts.

Themes:

Week 1 - the first work you posted

Week 2 - the works that pushed you outside your comfort zone

Week 3 - the works you feel deserve a bit more love

Week 4 - your personal favourite work

So that’s it. You don’t have to play every week (although I’d love it if you did). And of course while reblogging your own work is great, maybe check out some of the other reblogs and maybe interact with those too! Spread the love.

I’ll put out a reminder post each week as well with the weeks theme on, just to keep us all right!

thank you for the tag my love @goldiwrites

A Real Sweet Gift (Summary: You crossed a line with Joel Miller, your dad's best friend, who has been there your whole life)

Joel's Girl part II (Summary: Joel doesn't want to corrupt you even though you are already his girlfriend. This is part II, but also a standalone, so yeah I'm counting it as one)
