Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (ish) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

Thank you for tagging me @politicalmamaduck! This was a fun way to acknowledge the creative work I did this year--and thus remind myself that 2020 wasn’t ENTIRELY a wash. I’m going to include WIPs that I’ve resurrected because those are projects I’m especially proud of.

The Valley of the End

Ships: SasuSaku & NaruHina | Rating: Explicit

My dystopian AU in which the Uchiha Clan rules Konoha. Expect to find angst, political maneuvering, smut, war, and betrayal. This fic has been my baby for years, and I *finally* worked up the inspiration to continue it this spring and summer. Unfortunately I got hit with writer’s block immediately afterward, but I’m shaking it!

Outside of Love

Ships: Neji/OC and unrequited NejiHina | Rating: Explicit

This oneshot from the At the End of All Things series follows the Hyuuga Clan’s dysfunction and machinations in the background of The Valley of the End, told through the eyes of Neji and my OC Hana. Oddly, I think it might be the best thing I wrote in 2020.

My lovely friend @birkastan2018 commissioned @nikirooo to make the most beautiful art of Hinata and Hana! I love it to pieces.

Not Quite White Knight

I just finished the second draft of my original novel with @reylotrashcompactor Not Quite White Knight. It’s a new adult contemporary romance that kicks off our Kipling University series with ladylike Noelle Cabot and Roland Lakes, the gruff football player with a surprisingly soft heart. Tropey as hell, with opposites attract and beauty and the beast vibes galore. 

We wrote the first draft of this book back in May 2019 and it had been sitting on google drive gathering dust until we tackled it for nanowrimo. So glad to have it done! (For those who are counting, that’s our third manuscript down.)

Read about it on our website here.

Asking Price

Ship: Reylo | Rating: Explicit

This is my and RTC’s most widely read Reylo fic, and we are so excited to be returning to it! It’s a Senator Ben / courtesan Rey AU, which one reader described as “Pretty Woman in space” and that’s a tagline I can get behind. We only have one chapter and an epilogue left!

Make It Through the Night

Ship: Reylo | Rating: Explicit

TROS broke my heart, but at least it inspired me to write fix-it fic. RTC and I knocked out 13k of semi-corporeal ghost Ben Solo haunting Rey on a winter planet in just a few weeks. It helped me heal from Ben’s death, and I hope to finish that fic once we complete Asking Price.

Daisy Jones has three simple rules:

1) Avoid pretty men.

2) Never get attached.

3) Always charge.

Nothing good comes from falling for a client. But when she meets a Hollywood actor looking for escape in all the wrong ways, she’s tempted to make an exception...

I discovered book mockups and uh whoops I'm obsessed. Excuse me while I gaze at this longingly, pretending it's real 😂

My greatest contribution to this hellsite is a shitpost about Ben Solo’s pajamas. No, really, it is. See?

More importantly, I write smutty fanfic for Reylo, SasuSaku, and Stucky. You can find my stories on AO3 and FFN. All of the Star Wars and Captain America stories are on AO3, and all of the Naruto is on FFN, but there’s a lot of cross posting. 

I have some other fandomy accounts you might want to follow: @southsidestoryx on Twitter, southsidestory on Pinterest, and southsidestory on Spotify.

I also have social media accounts with my co-writer and partner in crime, Mer, aka @reylotrashcompactor. These are for our original writing endeavors, so if you have any interest in our stories beyond the realm of Reylo, you can follow us @wespilledink on Twitter, @wespilledink on Instagram, and @wespilledink on Pinterest.
