Chocolate Box!

learnedfootChocolate Box was the first exchange I've participated in in *years,* and the first one under this identify, and it resulted in an embarrassment of riches. I got four wonderful gifts, had a blast writing five fic, had amazing recips -- I'm almost scared to do more exchange because it's hard to see how I can top this. Not that it will stop me from signing up for H/C Exchange and maybe Smut Swap... I guess I'm an exchange person now. All it takes is one hit.
Anyway, the rundown:
What I received
Always Welcome, Peter/Tony, E
If you like this ship at all I can't recommend this more highly. Drunk Peter! IW angst! Sweet, and sexy, and full of feels all at once, it is everything I could ask for in P/T fic.
As Easy as Understanding, Nebula/Natasha, T
I requested this ship because I was curious about it, and this fic confirmed that I think it is a great idea. If you are also curious, you should check it out. Short, sweet, and just *so them.*
I Can Show You the World, Bucky/Shuri, T
Bucky/Shuri!snickfic wrote me Bucky/Shuri! And it is absolutely wonderful. Really, really beautiful fic. Really recommend it.
Rental, Peter/Tony (with Venom!), T
Venom gets Peter, Eddie and Tony team up to get their boys back. This is a freaking delight, and I highly recommend it not only to P/T fans, but to anyone who likes Venom. As much as I enjoyed the shippy parts, I think the best part was Tony and Eddie being forced to work together, and getting along not at all. It's great.
What I Wrote
MCU
And Again and Again, Peter/Tony, time loop, 6k, T
One of my great joys of this fest was seeing a few people who said they don't even really like the ship rec this, which is a huge compliment. I'd never written time loops before, but between this and Russian Doll I might now be addicted.
Anything but the Best, Peter/Tony, suit porn, 4k, E
Just what it says on the tin. But with feelings, because I can't not.
Not the Point, Peter/Tony, 3.3k, E
Peter almost dies, it leads to a fight and porn. Like you do. Porn with feels is my bread and butter with this ship, #sorrynotsorry
Something Left to Lose, Bucky & Rocket, 4k, G
AU where Bucky survives IW, and forms a friendship with Rocket, because they so would.
Doctor Who/Star Wars
Never Fail to Be, Thirteen + Kylo/Rey, 6.3k, G
Of everything I wrote this time, this is the most outside of my wheelhouse -- I'd never written any of these characters, or in these verses or, IIRC, a crossover of any sort -- but I also think it is the best. In fact, it's probably the best thing I've ever written. This is not to put down the other stuff I wrote, which I am generally quite pleased with, just to say it is incredibly rare for me to feel like I *nailed* a story top to bottom, but I do feel that way about this one. I give all credit tolucymonster's amazing crossover prompts, which just sparked something in me.
(Writing this was also a lovely reminder that as much as MCU has most of my fandom attention these days, Doctor Who has a uniquely special place in my heart for a reason.)

Date: 2019-03-10 11:20 pm (UTC)Oh my god I know exactly what you mean though. Every moment in this series that's really burnt itself into my brain is about Rory: him getting erased from history (still crying), him coming back to life (still crying even more), him standing guard over Amy for two whole millennia (I may never be okay again). He's such a great character, the down-to-earth straight man in the Doctor's circus of crazy, and I love him fit to burst.
Honestly, it's getting harder every episode to say who my favourite character is. The whole cast is *so good*.

Forever and always, I ADORE his reaction to going in the TARDIS. "It's another dimension." I love you Rory <3
