Love they used actual photos from past seasons. Pretty sure Kensi’s is from season 1! #babies

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.

Holy crap ECO is blowing my mind.
