Fanart Friday! Some amazing visual mediums from the [community profile] ficinabox collection. (All creators still anonymous.)

Minder of the Keys [ART - pottery] [pottery]

Pottery!! This is SO cool! A trinket dish with an adorable sculpted swamp dragon. Love the snoot!

kiss and fly [animation]
DC Comics, Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne, SFW
Incredibly cute. Love Batman's fluttery cape, the little peck of a kiss! And the pretty sunset colours!

[Art] Fig. 8. Megafauna of the Southern Hemisphere [scientific illustration]
Original Work, Really Mega Megafauna, SFW
Really cool vintage naturalist illustration style of huge megafauna! Delightful worldbuilding details.

[Art] Excerpts from 'Field Guide to Woodgeists' (Interlibrary Loan) [pottery + field guide]
Original Work, Forest Spirit, SFW
More pottery! Love this little forest spirit! Brilliant creature design, and love that the creator photographed him out in the woods and added field guide style text and worldbuilding.

[Art] Sleeping Giant [excerpts from a sketchbook]
Original Work, Mountain range that's actually a dragon, SFW
Love this! The sketchbook style is perfect, capturing multiple angles of the massive dragon blending in with the natural environment.

Baby Dragon [comic]
Original Work, Baby Dragon Who Has Everyone Wrapped Around Their Finger, SFW
More dragons! Adorable, playful comics of dragons hatching.

Crown Shyness [stained glass style art]
Original Work, Flower Maiden, SFW
Love the colours and style! Really gorgeous design.

Sharing a few gems that I've loved from the [community profile] ficinabox exchange. Crossposting to [community profile] womansplace for their [community profile] rec_cember reccing event!

All creators are still anonymous!

we can get a little restless [art]
DC Comics, Diana, SFW (but a bit suggestive)
Really vibrant, colourful style! A pin-up style pose, fabulously flirty.

the whisperings and the champagnes and the stars [fic]
Andor (TV), Kleya Marki/Vel Sartha, rated M
This is outstanding, and pulls no punches! Excellent dialogue and characterization, and smolderingly hot but spiky chemistry between them.

the Fairy and the Human [art + card game reskin + plushie pattern]
Original Work, Fairy Queen/Young Woman Who Unwittingly Entered Her Realm, rated G
Gorgeous! This link goes to the first chapter which is stunning art of the queen and the young woman, with really lovely composition and beautiful colours and textures. But the creator has also created an entire reskinned board game with fairyland creatures, a cute sticker set, and even a small plushie pattern. I'm overwhelmed by the creativity, so cool!

The 19th Annual Fandom Holiday of More Joy Day will be Thursday, January 8th, 2026.

What is More Joy Day? In short it's this: in 2008, in the interest of spreading more joy, [personal profile] sdwolfpup proposed that on a designated day in early January we each engage in one or more acts, either online or in physical space (or both!), which bring joy to another person, and which might even inspire that person to spread joy further, exponentially onward.

For more details, and to see where to post on Dreamwidth your More Joy Day action(s), click here for [personal profile] sdwolfpup's post.

And here's a Fanlore entry about More Joy Day.

SPREAD JOY!

I wanted to post something in honour of Buddie getting to 50k fics on Ao3, so I had a look through my WIPs and polished off this fic that I started writing... in May 2024. I have a plan for what I want to happen next, but I'm really not a longfic writer so the chances of actually continuing it are pretty low. And I didn't even get to the Buddie part of it! Oh well, here it is anyway:

Title: slate blue earth below
Warnings: Past Suicide Attempt, Suicidal Thoughts
Summary: Buck gives therapy with his parents another go in the lead up to Maddie and Chim's wedding.
It... doesn't go well.
