I've been somewhat dead on my feet these past two weeks due to finally having my class all to myself! However, I have managed to pull together a few Smut4Biggles fills which I will link here:

Rough sex/risk-seeking behaviour, M, EvS/OC (dubcon), Biggles/EvS, ~1.5k
for [personal profile] sholio 

Subspace, T, Biggles/EvS, ~400 words for Anon

Aroused by partner's scholarly accomplishments, T, Biggles/EvS, ~200 words for [personal profile] rietta89 

In life news, I went to see Sylvester McCoy do a talk which was excellent, and I also stole a plastic pint glass from the venue because they charged me four quid for a pint of lemonade and then expected me to recycle the cup for them.

I'm also now an accomplished poet* (*have written three poems this week) as we've been studying WW2 poetry in class and I constantly need specific examples of forms of poetry which poets in the 1940s were not super interested in exploring (mostly acrostics). Some of the childrens' poetry is genuinely fantastic so I'm very excited for them to write their final ideas this coming week.

I would also quite like to read a book at some point soon. My Steam Deck arrived last Friday and has been consuming all my free time but you'd think I'd manage a few pages on the bus. No luck so far but perhaps the approach of World Book Day next Thursday will kickstart my brain.

Full disclosure: I had already mentally planned a response fic to [personal profile] sholio's excellent time loop shenanigans fic for Febuwhump. And then an hour or so ago I opened DW to discover that [personal profile] philomytha had written an excellent response of her own, which I highly recommend for all your angsty needs!! Two cakes theory thus in effect, this is my second idea for a time loop fic, loosely inspired by both fics but firmly in its own universe.

I had an excellent time writing for Airdrop! This was my first of hopefully many and maybe next year I will have learned to pace myself enough to write more treats - I've started four or five of them which may pop up in the next few weeks, outside of the collection but appropriately gifted...

Within the allotted timeframe I wrote two stories, listed below.

frosty wind for california_112 (Ginger&Algy&Biggles, G)

This was my first time writing Ginger, Algy and Biggles in the interwar period and I had an excellent time doing so! I think that the relationship between them at this point is so interesting, because Algy and Biggles clearly have no idea how to look after a soon-to-be-grown-up teenager, while Ginger has no idea how to cope with suddenly living with two of his heroes and also having to teach them how to be responsible guardians. It's never a parent/child relationship but is necessarily one of caretaking, so in this fic Ginger is ill and sad at Christmas mostly so that Algy and Biggles can cheer him up in any way possible. As it turns out this involves early Christmas presents and a few extra decorations. I imagine by the year after this they have actually asked Ginger how he'd like to celebrate and that forms the basis for some truly lovely Christmasses down the line.

never see that girl again for [personal profile] sweetsorcery  (Biggles/EvS, E)

I decided to write a treat for SweetSorcery because she very kindly wrote me one for Yuletide Madness, and when I realised this was my chance to contribute to the growing subgenre of Biggles Crossdressing Fanfic, I knew it was meant to be. I actually started writing the entire soiree they were initially undercover at, but then realised it was expanding beyond my scope and turned to the erotic undressing scene instead. Writing Biggles crossdressing from his perspective was a fun challenge since I genuinely believe he would view the whole thing with the same pragmatic sort of focus and sense of fun as IDK having to land on a particularly small lake. Satisfying to pull off but not kinky. Meanwhile Erich is absolutely losing his mind because not only is he already in love with Biggles (obviously) he is now having to act like they're married and keeps LEANING ON HIM and TOUCHING HIM. And is wearing a GARTER BELT.

I also saw that SweetSorcery (feels weird repeating it so much but writing in the second person seemed a bit presumptuous) was 95% certain of who the author was, so I must wonder how I gave myself away so easily OR somehow pulled off an insane coup.

Produced below is as far as I got with the main part of the evening, featuring some dancing and teeny tiny bit of possessiveness.

Happy New Year for real this time! I am at Clark's Village with my parents so apologies for any typos that slip through 😅

I wrote two stories for Yuletide this year - it won't surprise anyone to learn that one of the Biggles was mine, as was the singular Worrals!

what we need is here (Biggles, 3.6k) for [personal profile] philomytha 

I was delighted to be matched with Philomytha this year! It felt like symmetry to close out the year by gifting some fic to the person responsible for my Biggles fandom in the first place. I was also very pleased about the opportunity to write Biggles/EvS/Marie so soon after reading Looks Back for the first time!

pleasant pastures (Worrals, 1.4k) for Philomytha

And a treat! I loved getting to write a school story, I spent much of my primary school career reading Malory Towers and St Clares obsessively, so it was fun to combine that rigorous education with Worrals and Frecks!

This evening I will be doing my end-of-2023 fic roundup, but I wanted to get this up separately first. I will also respond to all the lovely comments I got now it's all in namespace!

rosanicus: (andco)
I wrote five (count 'em! FIVE!) stories for Fic In A Box this year! My primary recipient was [personal profile] wateroverstone  and so I ventured deep into the teatime of the soul in order to write her some pornography, which didn't end up as smutty as I'd hoped but was definitely overfull of what I lovingly nicknamed 'pragmatic sex lichen' while chatting about it with [personal profile] black_bentley .

Biggles

of dubious scientific merit (5.7k, Biggles/Algy, E)

At last the mystery of who wrote the Biggles/Algy smut is solved! I've never written Biggles/Algy or sex pollen before so this was a real education in my own limits.

ddraig fach (1.3k, Biggles & Algy & Ginger, Gen)

The stealth crossover with Ivor the Engine that Biggles fandom has been asking for! I really liked the idea of the team meeting a dragon and when I decided to set it in North Wales this was the only logical conclusion to draw.

window shopping (1k, Algy & Ginger, Gen)

Biggles as the impossible-to-shop-for male relative is a headcanon I will cling to for the rest of my life.

qui est iste qui venit? (2k, &Co, Gen)

This one is an unapologetic pastiche of M.R. James' classic short story 'Oh Whistle And I'll Come To You', with a little bit of Barchester mixed in for fun. I love M.R. James (this is the second Jamesian pastiche I wrote this year, even!) so I was very pleased that wateroverstone's prompts included a bit of horror.

Original Work


AITA for trying to make friends post-divorce? (2k, Gen)

I have an unfortunate AITA habit in my spare time so obviously when the PH for this prompt came up I leapt on it like a starving tiger.

Now that this is all revealed I may finally have the time and brain to comment on all the fantastic Biggles bounty we were served with!!! And I must give extra special thanks to Rietta89, who wrote my excellent gift of 10k of Trans Biggles, the best thing I've ever woken up to in my life.

rosanicus: (ministry)
Many moons ago I idly commented to [personal profile] sholio  that I might try to make some of the postcards Biggles sent during Goes Alone. If anything this is proof that I shouldn't be allowed to idly comment on things, because it will result in (months later) a frantic dash to find the right driver for my ancient graphics tablet and a series of increasingly irrelevant search strings to find appropriate pictures of the Cornish coast.

Anyway the result of all of this is this fic, which holds the distinction of being my only work on Ao3 with an official word count of Zero Words, although I did include image descriptions for everything which I think ought to count for something. I can only apologise to Biggles for my portrayal of his handwriting, which is really pretty abysmal, but much preferable to a font IMO.

For the purposes of the fic I also created a little Polstow postmark, which I'm quite pleased with really. I then carefully avoided putting dates on anything because putting dates on Biggles is like trying to put dates on the events of Spearhead from Space through to Terror of the Zygons (read: fraught).



rosanicus: (sakhalin)
Ta da! A fic in under the FIAB wire (posted two days ago but I've been BUSY).

I am indebted to my beloved future wife for providing the prompts for this - I asked her for three numbers between 1 and 200 and got prompts from the H/C Bingo list of tropes. And as a result I finally wrote some Winter Soldier!EvS, which I've been wanting to write for ages. As I said on Ao3 this is intended as a prequel to a longer fic which will be about deprogramming and reintegrating into reality, but that'll take Time and Research. Much like the Frau Lowenhardt fic, which I hope to return to after 1) Yuletide is done and 2) my job interview on Tuesday is over.

As a treat for the Dreamwidth circle, here is a piece salvaged from the cutting room floor (thanks Sholio for the metaphor!) which I started writing after the first ~900 words of the posted fic ended up at an awkward point.

@aroacepilot there’s a mention in rfc to sap, it’s st like ‘besides their more publicised efforts, the air police engaged in covert operations in far flung regions like korea, siberia and northern india’. and like i get korea and india. but SIBERIA?


vickersgun replied


Personally I think we need and deserve a full inventory of the giant sea creatures. They get mentioned offhand WAY too often in Lissie’s journals, I need to know more.

@vickersgun god you’re so right. how many decapods can one air police unit truly encounter (at least three apparently)

Having been encouraged by[personal profile] black_bentley  one (1) time, I hereby present to you: the Biggles time loop fic I started writing after reading my first Biggles book back in April. It's a good chunk of fic but as I read more of the books I realised the characterisation was a bit wonky, and then I got the yips about the plot itself, and then the whole thing languished in my docs unchanged for *checks notes* six months. Which also means we must be past my semi-anniversay in Biggles fandom and I have to say: I've been having the time of my life.

Haven't even reread this before posting! And actually now I think about it I started writing this before I'd even read a book with Bertie in it. Truly weird to think about now that these characters are amongst the closest friends I've made this year (lol).

Behold!

An easy to digest compilation of all my Whumptober fic from this month. It includes a few bonus stories NOT featured here, with extra special guests Cub Peters and Lorrington King.

I've never done a challenge like this before so frankly I'm very proud I managed to get 20 stories by the end of the month. I'm not used to doing short form writing in fic or original work so it was an interesting challenge forcing myself to stop before I reached the comfort half of Hurt/Comfort.

rosanicus: (planes)
One thing I'm realising as I work through these Whumptober prompts is that my confidence writing proper hardcore whump is very low. Which is why everything is implication, my favourite way to work.

No. 25: “You’re not delivering a perfect body to the grave.”

Storm | Buried Alive | “They’re not breathing!”

Alternate prompt: Aftermath of Failure
ExpandAlgy, 197 words )

No. 26: “Sometimes I get so tired; I don’t even know myself.”

Seeing Double | Working To Exhaustion | “You look awful.”

ExpandAlgy&Ginger, 165 words )

No. 27: “You drew stars around my scars; But now I’m bleeding.”

Matches | Scars | “Let me see”

Some catching up!

I think #7 might have accidentally invented a new challenge category... a 'Biggle' (a fic of exactly 266 words). Also can I just say I was not anticipating writing any Boy Biggles fic for Whumptober and here we are with my second of the month.

 No. 6: “Do or die, you’ll never make me; Because the world will never take my heart.”

Recording | Made to Watch | “It should have been me.”

ExpandBiggles, 185 words )

No. 7: " “I paced around for hours on empty; I jumped at the slightest of sounds.”

Alleyway | Radio Silence | “Can you hear me?”

ExpandAlgy&Biggles, 266 words )

No. 20: “People don’t change people, time does.”

Blanket | Found Family | “You will regret touching them.”

ExpandZorotov&Von Stalhein, 505 words )

rosanicus: (Default)
I really thought I would keep up with Whumptober but unfortunately illness threw me off! Hoping to catch up but as it is here is today's entry.

No. 15: “I don't need you to help me I can handle things myself.”

Makeshift Bandages | Suppressed Suffering | “I’m fine.”

ExpandEvS, 220 words )

rosanicus: (east)
These are more like sections of unwritten epics than standalone stories but believe me: I have so many WIPs that adding these to the pile would be calamitous in the extreme.

I forgot about this entirely until reading [personal profile] philomytha's excellent first entry late last night, so thought I would offer yesterday and today's prompts together in one post. I think I'm going to try and do this as shorter fics as I have my Fic In A Box on the burner as well, but it's a fun challenge to confront nonetheless!

Posting false starts apparently works, because I sat down this evening and banged out the fic I was trying to write in the first place in under two hours!

It features Fritz thinking he's a lot more grown up than he is - which the narrative definitely supports - and also quite a lot of headcanon about Fritz, Frau Lowenhardt and their Erich, because I care about them a normal amount. This will likely end up impacting the Frau Lowenhardt longfic, which continues to grow...

ExpandAn excerpt )
I have no doubt this won't be my last post-Sakhalin fic. It only generates more ideas, as maggots spontaneously generate from gorgonzola (thanks Dorothy!)



rosanicus: (school)
So recently I had a hideous idea for a fic, and while I doubt it will ever be fully realised (due to embarassment) I share this excerpt in the spirit of getting things done in September.

ExpandCALLOUT POST INCOMING )

If you enjoyed this you might enjoy my Lord Peter Wimsey modern AU, which has significantly less Spongebob Squarepants references.


rosanicus: (Default)
Forgot to post this one! Anyway last week I was pleasantly surprised when I woke up to find out about the existence of the hAppy birthday flash exchange. Then, while idly browsing the Ao3 app (which I thank God for every Yuletide now, seriously, it's so good) I came across [personal profile] philomytha 's request for a Rivers of London/Biggles crossover and well. While I did have a few hundred unsuccessful words written thus far. I ended up writing almost 2.5k in a day just for the joy of revisiting Peter Grant (my best friend forever).

My parents have been listening to the audiobooks recently (I introduced them to the books and it is one of my great joys, recently me and my dad met BA at UK Games Expo and I got to grandstand about it) and so I've been missing him quite assiduously. Putting Biggles into the canon was easy enough given that we'd just listened to Moon Over Soho and so I had WW2 era RoL on the brain.

I'm sure at some point someone will produce the deeply angst-filled Ettersburg-referencing fic with Nightingale & Co, but as it is I was quite pleased to put Peter in Biggles' path and see what happened. As noted by [personal profile] philomytha  AND [personal profile] sheron  in comments, EvS is immortal mostly because Biggles wants him to be. I spent ages trying to put a line in about that then threw my hands up and accepted that Peter is simply not emotionall intelligent enough to realise that after such a short period of time, but that IS why.

Below please enjoy 1) a short excerpt of the unsuccessful fic and 2) another globetrotting character they definitely knew well.

In an effort to keep my writing muscles limber and free of... the lactic acid of writer's block (metaphor needs work), I've decided to try and write shorter fic more often. As a result of that decision and also of seeing this tumblr post this morning, I am pleased to present: a fic about werewolf!EvS being trapped in a domestic situation.

august cold and dank and wet, besides being named after one of my favourite Flanders and Swann songs (yes I am 27 years old and have favourite F&S songs), is inspired both by that post and also by [personal profile] sholio's excellent fic The Pack You Need, which I have read at least half a dozen times since joining this fandom in mid-April.

Since it's such a short fic I will refrain from posting a snippet of it here, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!

EDIT: Also in Biggles-related news, I bought a copy of Foreign Legionnaire which will soon wing its way into my greedy little hands. Exciting times at Fort Rosanicus('s parents).
