#tmrss

Welcome, soon-to-be-santas (and giftees!), to TMR Secret Santa 2025!

Somehow, it is now our 8th(!!) tmrss, which is wild, but pretty fabulous. Last year, our santas yet again treated the tmr fandom to wonderful new and (sometimes) festive creations, and we're excited to see what lovely content is inspired this year! 🥳

Watch this space for more details, as well as a sign-up link. See you soooooooon!

I wanted to pull together my previous wlw content lists and an updated version that included additions from 2022. We're starting to build up a really lovely collection of wlw art (of all kinds) in our little fandom 🥰 More to come, hopefully!

Okay, let's start with a selection of wlw content from tmrss seasons past... 🎅

🏳️‍🌈👭 2022 Update! 👭🏳️‍🌈

And now for updates to my wlw content list, particularly following TMRSS22 and the lovely new content created by our santas! In addition to the fabulous works detailed above, I'd like to direct your attention to the following 😍

TMRSS22 gifts

This gorgeous sonyarriet comic, narrating their adventures à la the Wayward Sisters of spn fame, created by the ever so talented @persnickett

The giftee of the above comic, @astralpenguin wrote a modern day sonyarriet meet cute fic: i really really (really) like you

@purplepingupenguins gifted us all a post-canon glimpse into sonyarriet's life together: paradise, my love

@arthurandmerlin told us sonyarriet's tst story with Group B: My hand was the one you reached for

@mazegays wrote modern au, soft sonyarriet fic for the tmrss elves: dancing in the starlight

And now, for brenderesa! We got three diverse au settings for them this year, complete with portals, monsters, and witches!

@singt0me is exploring other worlds in: Rabbit

@newtedison sent brenderesa on a road trip in: hot cryptids wanted

@onceuponabluemoon introduced witch!Teresa and knight!Brenda in: for which of my faults

It's worth noting that, on top of all the creative gifts listed above, there are plenty of TMRSS22 fics that feature sonyarriet and brenderesa alongside other ships, so it's worth having a look at our A03 collection for this year (and, in fact, for all five!! years of tmrss) for more wlw content.

🏳️‍🌈👭 Additional wlw content 👭🏳️‍🌈

I spotted recently that El posted another sonyarriet fic, live streaming the final days of rome, towards the end of 2021, and it sounds intriguing, so I wanted to add it to this list.

I recommend looking through the #gladercup2022 tag and its A03 collection, as there were some wlw submissions, e.g. ice cold but i'm still melting by @newtmsa (sonyarriet) and to have a heartbeat by @newtedison (brenderesa).

Ditto the #gladebingo2022 tag and its A03 collection, within which there are 13 fics ft. sonyarriet and 5 ft. brenderesa, e.g. these two for sonyarriet: starlight by @astralpenguin (set between tst and tdc) and I, a Sparrow by @newtmsa (modern au)

Aaaaaaaaaaand finally, I should probably add that I made a few sonyarriet pieces for the Glade Cup and Bingo, too, two of which you can find here and here, and the rest of which maybe I'll post at some point.

Okay, that concludes my dreams!update ✔️

"Lovers, Actually" written for my dear friend @go-catch-a-chickn ❤ Thomas has always liked looking at Newt; he's got this effortless attractiveness to him, he looks good without trying too hard, and maybe Thomas would envy him for it if it wasn't for this strange pull in his chest he always feels in the other’s presence. Everything about Newt is familiar and yet Thomas never tires of looking at him. He knows exactly what it is that he's feeling, has known it for a while now, and he also knows that these are not exactly feelings appropriate to have about your best friend. You'd think they’d eventually wear off since Thomas never allows himself to delve deeper into them, but Newt's effect on him is impossible to evade. He can't undo what he found in Newt and yet he could never pursue it, because he’s too scared of jeopardising a friendship that means so much more to him than he's ready to admit.

(yes of course it was me who did a merlin crossover and of course @its-tea-time-darling knew immediately!)
