1. Your main fandom of the year?
Detective Comics Comics remains king.

2. Your favorite film you watched this year?
Sinners, and it's not even remotely close. I have seen other films I've liked this year (Rope, La virgen roja, May December, Farewell My Concubine, American Fiction), but Sinners truly made me fall in love with every aspect of it.

3. Your favorite book read this year?
Harrow the Ninth, in terms of novels. City of Corpses for non-fiction. And Wonder Woman: Historia for comic books. 

4. Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
Rosalía's LUX. Another not-at-all-close case, even if I've listened and liked many other albums this year. Honourable mention to Miley Cyrus's "Something Beautiful," I really loved it.

5. Your favorite TV show of the year?
Pluribus, no contest <- saaaaaaame. Foundation will probably be a close second, but I just finished season 1. And Twin Peaks might win, if I had actually finished it lol. 2026 task.

6. Your favorite podcast of the year?
innerFrench. Highly recommend it if you want to get started on learning/improving the language.

7. Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
Calling it a discovery is a bit exaggerated, but it's the first time I participate in Yuletide and I'm SO impressed by that event, its organisation, etc. I wish I'd had time and especially energy to write more than one gift. Definitely a 2026 task lol.

8. Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
The shit that went down with Gretchen Felker-Martin's Red Hood run. Especially how some fellow fans reacted. Vile.

9. Your fandom boyfriend of the year?
Jason Todd remains my top guy for the third year in a row LOL. Shout-out to A-Train from The Boys, because I was pleasantly impressed by his storyline. And Manousos, obviously.

9. Your fandom girlfriend of the year?
Carol Sturka my FUCKING beloved. And shout-out to Demerzel (Foundation) and Sofia Falcone in The Penguin. I have yet to finish that one too, but you guys don't know what I would do to for that woman...

11. Your biggest squee moment of the year?
The Pluribus season finale. I was GIDDY with joy during Carol and Manousos's interactions and I am incredibly excited to see more of them. So much that even missing the show, I'm not mad about having to wait. It'll happen when it happens.

12. The most missed of your old fandoms?
I'm flirting with Black Sails again lately...

13.Your biggest fan anticipations for the coming year?
What if I said Yuletide LOL. Well, that too, but I've been thinking a lot about organising some time of smut event (likely a ficathon or a gift box) for rare femslash ships in the DC fandom, maybe during the summer. I'll have to see if people are interested, but even if it's only a few handfuls, I'll be willing to put the work for it.
And the three-sentence ficathon, of course!

I got this week's rec list ready early, to my surprise! So here it is

DCU

FANFIC

  • Two Minutes by Aingeal98. 1.9k, T. Cass does something terrible for Steph. Heartbreaking and perfectly in character.
  • mindscape by torigates. 2k, T. This one is set in the Young Justice cartoon, instead of the comics, like the rest. It's immediately set post-Failsafe (thee episode from season 1), and focuses on Supermartian. I read it way back when, as a lurker, and on reread it got me all nostalgic.
  • Aftermathmares by Mist-managed (Greyspaces13). 3k, T. Mia's survivor's guilt after Lian's death in Cry For Justice. I liked seeing a fic that sits with this moment in time for the Arrowfam (mainly Mia and Oliver only, here). It's difficult, and it certainly wasn't well-written in canon, but I do think there could be a lot to explore with it.
  • In Which Jason Goes to a Convention by TeleportingAspen. 3.3k, T. What if Jade Nguyen was Jason's poison trainer? The fic expands across Lost Days and post-UTRH, and it's a satisfying portrayal of his character during the time.
  • Oracle, Re: Birth by KamalasFanfiction. 8.1k, T. This fic mixes preboot and reboot canon in a very interesting way: what if the Batgirl of Burnside was an impostor, and oracle!Barbara had to deal with that? If you're like me and still kind of bitter about the reboot, and especially on what it did to her character, go ahead and read this.
  • Left Behind, Or Forgotten by cleromancy. 30.8k, T. This one is marked incomplete, but it ends at a good, narratively satisfying point so don't let that deter you. Features the bat clan a few years down the line (pre-reboot continuity, of course), with their complex dynamics, The Bruce Problem... it has background Jaytim and Dickroy, too, and a lot of humour mixed with The Horrors. I'd also recommend reading the three vignettes preceding it in the series, but I personally read them after reading the longer, more plot-relevant LBOF, and I think it's preferable that way.

I hope you'll enjoy some of these!

I might appear again on the 31st with a surprise...

Unofficial Pirate Day!

Headsup: some of these fics might require an ao3 account to be read.

BLACK SAILS

FANFIC

  • A Death Full of Light to Consume Me by angryhausfrau. 1k, E. Maxanne, post-canon. A lovely fic written for a prompt of mine: "I have lost myself in the sea many times with my ear full of freshly cut flowers, with my tongue full of love and agony."
  • The Power of a Story by medusine. 3.2k, E. Have you ever wanted to read a hilarious yet poignant and metatextually relevant story where Flint tells a dirty story to his crew? Well, here it is. Implied Flint/Miranda and explicit Flint/Silver.
  • el cuentacuento by straddling_the_atmosphere. 4.6k, not rated. This one seems pretty popular already, but I'll still recommend it because it's a very interesting view at Silver's past and how he uses narrative and stories to obscure it, insinuate about it, obfuscate it, etc.
  • A Long Dark Throat by greenforsnow. 4.9, E. Silvermadi with... a very complex Silverfilntmadi situation. Silver and Madi, fantasizing about Flint together, all paired with Silver's... personality. Some of the best, most harrowing smut I've read, as well as a perfect Silver voice.
  • i'm a black ocean leaping and wide by loosedindecember. 6k, M. Post-series, Madi-centric (includes both Madi/Eme and Madi/Silver, but it's mainly about her). An interesting, and idealistic view at the possibilities after canon.
  • No Monuments by ballantine. 11.1k, not rated. Solaris AU, Silverflint. GREAT fic, one of those perfect examples of what an AU should be. I love the way each character has been "translated" into this setting, Max and Silver especially.

queenslayerbee: peitho and astrea by thegodfather. one girl with eyes closed, illuminated by sunshine, wearing a sunray gold crown. another woman, obscured by shadows, behind her surrounding her neck with one hand and lightly touching her chest with another, with bright red nails. (trapped (house of providence))

Today, is Ninth House time.

THE LOCKED TOMB

FANFIC

  • varsouviana by cristabeloct. 1.6k, T. A short, pre-lyctorhood Cytherea/Loveday fic. Mandatory if you want to read some REALLY good pining.
  • and they were roommates by HerenorThereNearnorFar. 2.7k, T. Pre-Apocalypse (I) Mercymorn/Cristabel that does a great job of exploring who their characters could've been. I love Mercy's righteous fury, in particular.
  • settle up in heaven by liesmyth. 3k, T. Some Kiriona/Harrow corpse action. A+ stuff.
  • Incident Report by notheragain. 4.5, E. Pre-series Corona/Judith. It's described as "Judith files an official report to admit to Cohort Intelligence that she, despite all her best efforts, got laid." and it is exactly what that should be.
  • we're kings among runaways (on the bus mall) by NotAFicWriter. 11.2k, T. Also known as the Abortion Fic (there should be more abortion fics!!). I'm not usually into modern AUs, but every once in a while there are some that are undeniably absolute gems. Gideon's voice in particular is perfect here.
  • as long as it is day by liesmyth. 18.3k, T. Time-loop fic!! Set right near the end of HtN!!! With a great Gideon and great Gideon-John and Gideon-Wake scenes!!! The WORST family reunion ever, indeed. And an incredible read.

FANFIC

  • idle hands by ElasticElla. 1.1k, E. Short Magnus/Camille fic, set in the Shadowhunters tv show, my first active fandom. Perfect showcase of the inherent moral ambiguity of immortal lovers too caught up in themselves <3
  • Anthropology by Riona. 3.2k, T. A conversation between Mark and Helena written after 2x04 of Severance aired.
  • The Blues Run the Game by coyotesuspect. 7,4k, M. Post-canon Hustlers fic that dives into what the immediate aftermath of the article could've been like for Destiny. And gives some much needed joy to her and Ramona.

I hope there's something here for everyone. Enjoy!


queenslayerbee: anthropomorphic image of an artificial intelligence, mixed with faded images of computer interior parts. (artificial intelligence (the redstart's)

Recs every day for this event would've been a little too much for me, so instead, I decided to put together a bit of a larger list, mixing some of the most prevalent fandoms I'm currently into + some miscellaneous recs for everyone ^-^

THE MURDERBOT DIARIES

I just read this series in October (in about a week...) and already I've gotten a glimpse to a pretty creative fandom.

FANFIC

  • la petite mort by howlingmoonrise (TheDarkStoryteller). 3.8k, T. This is a Barbie/Dracula crossover (and a Barbie/Dracula romance) and I urge you to read it. AMAZING fic, I swear.
  • Nomon by interlude. 6.4, T. Fic set in the time jump between season 4 and season 5 of The 100, focused on Bellamy/Echo and the Space Kru. The premise is basically, what if Echo got pregnant? I'm not one for pregnancy stories unless they fit specific criteria, but this one definitely passes the test.
  • Lamb to the Slaughter by angelfishofthelord. 85k, G (... I would not agree with this rating LOL). If you like whump, this fic has it in spades. It's a Supernatural what-if of that episode in s14 where John appears, Because. What if instead of Castiel losing his memories, the Winchesters did? And they encountered a strange creature in their bunker that they do not remember... Featuring Castiel being put through the ringer + a badass Mary Winchester.
