Updates and Fandom Gift Basket
Jun. 26th, 2026 01:43 pmI've been a bit MIA lately because work has been stupid busy and stressful. It's nearly the end of June already and I'm not finished with my Pride themed fic for the event at fourormore but I'm hoping I'll get it done in the next few days. Fingers crossed.
I signed up forfandomgiftbasket (and you can to until the end of the June if that's your thing). My birthday is a little over a month away if anyone is into gift giving and wants to put a smile on my face. No pressure :)
My signup is here and you'll be surprised to find out it's Sense8 themed.

Sense8week Fic Recs
Jun. 20th, 2026 08:53 amI'm a little late with this post because life has been crazy but now that Sense8week is over I wanted to do a rec list for some of my faves from the week. There were 22 in all this year!
Berühre nicht alte Wunden by tenderjock
A pre-canon fic with Felix and Wolfgang as teenagers. They love each other soooo much I wanna cry.

What if Kala had decided to tell Rajan earlier than she did in the series finale?
I'm not usually one to go for canon-divergence but this was delicious and of course Rajan would be into Wolfgang from the start.
Matinee bysoricel
Bug and Nomi's relationship is so important to me. This is a pre-canon (and pre-transition) short fic of them hanging out being buds and it's so sweeeet.
rendez vous avec madame virtuelle bymaevedarcy
Bug tries to make it to Paris unnoticed. He's sort of successful.
More Bug content! There aren't many fics about him and I even tried (and failed) finding the inspiration to write one myself, but luckily I didn't have to. This is everything I could've wanted from a Bug POV fic.

eternity in an hour by SecretsOfTheUniverse1987
Following the death of the Chairman and the removal of the looming threat of BPO, Riley and Will go on a tour of all the places that have been sullied by fear and loss during their time on the run in an attempt to make new, better memories. The first stop is their hometowns, to face the losses that hit them hardest. In Reykjavik, Riley and Sun share a cup of tea and some musings on loss.

Fanfic: Saying Goodbye
Jun. 14th, 2026 05:05 amIt's the final day of sense8week and now I'm sad. This has been so much fun and I hope we can keep some momentum going. The fandom is ridiculously small for such a great show but I for one am thrilled that we had so many contributions this year. I had an Angelica-based fic started before I filled a different prompt for day one, so here it is as a little send off until next time.

Jun. 13th, 2026 05:38 amDay six of sense8week: FELIX
Felix is THE best friend FOREVER and I absolutely love writing him. Here he is getting into some chaos with Dani, Capheus, Bug, and bonus Jela via video call.

Fanfic: A Crisis Worthy of Croissants
Jun. 11th, 2026 06:38 amSubmitting this for sense8week day four. The prompt was: Amanita!
My girl Amanita was the number one sapien sidekick from the very beginning, and I loved seeing her relationship with not only the cluster but also the other sapiens in the show. Here's a little missing scene fic about their ill-fated trip to buy croissants

Fanfic: Great Talents
Jun. 10th, 2026 06:52 amDay three of Sense8week and I went with the prompt: Dani
One of the things I love most about the finale is how every character really got to shine, and Dani is no exception. So I wanted to give her another kickass moment in this missing scene fic.
Great Talents
Dani uses a particular set of skills to save the group from suspicion

Fanfic: Born Free
Jun. 9th, 2026 08:32 amSense8week day two, baby!
I know Sun's cellmates were all lifers for killing their respective abusers, but what is fanfic for if not bending a few laws? After our cluster saved the world, the least the new BPO could do is pull some strings and free Sun's cellmates. This was submitted under the prompt: "As a Treat"

I'm kicking off Sense8week with a somewhat niche fic that idk if anyone will be interested in, but I chose the prompt Midnight, and what better than a midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show?
I love Rocky Horror. I've seen the movie (and listened to the soundtrack) a ridiculous number of times, but there's nothing quite like going in person. If you have the opportunity I HIGHLY recommend it, and if not, hopefully this fic still makes sense.

Well I seem to have reached #10 and I haven't even gotten to the finale yet. How did I know this would happen? I've probably forgotten some scenes from season one and two as well but for the finale:
( Read more... )IDK what happened to May but I had all these plans for posting fics that just didn't end up happening and here we are a week from June. It's pride month here in the U.S. and fourormore is doing a Pride theme which I hope to participate in but I'd also hoped to do a bunch of prompts for DoMAYstic and that just didn't happen. I still have time though and lots of ideas.
Anyway, the 11th!!! anniversary of Sense8 airing is coming up next month as well, and I have two fics beta'd for Sense8Week already with a few more mostly done. I'm hoping to do one prompt a day but I'm not quite there yet. If anyone is still thinking about participating, the prompts are here. The more the merrier, and it's so nice to have some activity in our small fandom.

#mycharacters
Rules: make a list of your top 10 favorite characters to think about. Then let people in the comments choose one question for you to answer about them.
My characters:
Anyone from Sense8, why not?
The questions:
1- What’s the one thing they refuse to admit they want, even to themselves?
2- If they could undo one moment, would they actually do it—or has it become part of who they are?
3- What kind of love do they think they deserve vs. what they actually accept?
4- What’s their “I’m fine” behavior that clearly means they are not fine?
5-What song would absolutely destroy them emotionally if it came on at the wrong moment?
6- In another life, who would they have been if things had gone right?
7- What’s the smallest, most insignificant thing that still reminds them of someone they lost?
8- What's something they desperately want people to know about them but won't tell a single soul?

Fic: The Kindness of Strangers
Apr. 23rd, 2026 05:38 amI wrote this short fic for fandomweekly under the prompt: unexpected kindness.
In a show with so many scenes that portray the absolute best of humanity, the part with Lito and the man in the elevator still manages to stand out as one of the most touching moments. When I read the prompt for this week, that scene immediately came to mind.

Fic: The Chase
Apr. 19th, 2026 01:54 pmI got bullied by my beta reader into writing a sequel for a one-shot fic I posted a few weeks ago, and I kinda went back and forth on whether to just add a chapter to the existing fic or not. Since the POV changed I ended up going with a new fic instead of a new chapter, so voila:
