musewritesI haven't bothered to promote much of anything this year, but here are the final three fics of the year, all for nu:c, which is on track to take over as largest fandom by fic volume on AO3 next year. Feels weird that anything could topple Supernatural, but I'm looking forward to it. It has been a marvelous experience to switch from a juggernaut ship to a tiny tiny rare pair.
cathedrals
Quincy’s quiet rainy day is interrupted by an unexpected guest. Nu: Carnival, Olivine/Quincy, 4.5k
🔖 https://archiveofourown.org/works/75676211
Notes: Probably the happiest writing experience of the year. I loved writing down every sentence of this fic. It made me feel like starlight. First time with this ship but it's become a favorite.
the little sea serpent
During his annual trip to land to see the snow, a snake yokai falls in love. Nu: Carnival, Yakumo/Eiden, 4.6k
🔖 https://archiveofourown.org/works/75615116
Notes: Easily the most frustrating fic of the year! This one fought me on the way out, but I'm happy with the end result. It was so nice to return to this ship, which is my favorite canon ship from the game.
all the Sun Lord wants for Kleinmas is a space heater
A little slice-of-life Kleinmas fic. Nu: Carnival, Aster/Dante + Yakumo, Edmond, Morvay, ensemble. 2k

Notes: I didn't have any plans for my annual Kleinmas fic, but after talking with Eli, I threw this together over a couple of days. It didn't come out as planned but I like how Aster changed it. Dante-in-love is my favorite Dante to write. He's still arrogant but he's so much more pliable.
