Reminder that Winter Ryulock Week is just around the turn of the new year! We're excited for what you'll share :D

Ryuunosuke is very proud of the snowman he just built. And he is posing as Iris is taking a picture

Except that someone here thought this was a bit lacking in chaos..

Such a wonderful thing to have a warm boyfriend when you are a vampire as cold as a corpse

Sholmes will be useful to cool down Ryuu in summer, but in the meantime, he's quietly enjoying his warmth for the winter

As before, we are not dedicating a day for AU/Freeform - instead, if you want to replace any days with prompts you are not inspired by with it you can, we just ask to keep it Winter themed! For free day here's a few extra ideas that you may feel inspired by: reflection, winter holiday, new beginnings, mascots, winter ball.

TO PARTICIPATE:

Once the week arrives, simply tag your work with #winterryulockweek2026 and/or @ryulockweek at us on Bluesky or Tumblr, and we'll share it!

If you're sharing your work on AO3, feel free to submit it to the Ryulock Week (ryulockweek) Collection!

Suggestive/NSFW works are allowed within Tumblr/Bluesky limitations. Just make sure to tag/label/filter your piece appropriately so it can be shared!

If you are making suggestive/NSFW works for Ryulock Week: Ryunosuke and (S)herlock must be adults; the pieces must be fully consensual.

We'll be on the lookout for entries posted up to one week before the event, and then one week after (and honestly, probably beyond that too).

We're all very excited to see all the submissions and we hope you all have a great time <3

and the spicy entries for winter @ryulockweek !!
