mcytblraufest Battleship is over. Team Nether! *raises fist in triumph* We finished third (out of five teams), and we fully cleared all three boards, before work reveals even. I had such a great time on my team, with our two strider mascots Dirk Slow and Aragorn Steady. Massive props to the mods, everything ran very smoothly. In the first board every field had very cool flavor text even, and the bosses were very cool (we defeated the Wither Storm!)
I ended up with ten (!!!) gifts!
And I'm proud to say that despite that I reached my semi-serious goal of creating more gifts than I received.Though if I get more treats after this I'll give up. I've never received so many comments on one day as I did yesterday, it was great.
My wonderful gifts:
Sharp teeth and spring rain, Hermitcraft SMP
3.4k, Mumbo & Etho, fantasy AU, platonic kink
Summary: That anticipation, now cooled, mingled with fresh dread as the blank, flat space on the horizon tore open.
A thousand-year old dragon emerged from the void and blocked out the sun with his wings.
Mumbo gulped.
“Oh, Gem!” he fretted. “You expect me to dom that?”
Why I love it: Excellent premise, very cool worldbuilding, great character voices and development of their relationship.
Careful People, Hermitcraft SMP
1.3k, Cleo/Etho, cyberpunk AU post-divorce
Summary: "We'll be careful," says Etho.
"We're not careful people," Cleo reminds him.
"Maybe we know better now!"
Why I love it: I love the banter. Them. So divorced and yet.
what is a kiss if not a declaration of friendship, Hermitcraft SMP
0.3k, Grian & Scar fake dating
Summary: Grian isn't expecting to have to kiss his best friend to keep their cover. But again, he never really thought this plan through.
Why I like it: Silly and fun.
Anything but a rose, Hermitcraft
0.8k, Cleo&/Etho/Bdubs arranged marriage
Summary: Etho (and Bdubs) court Cleo with flower language.
Why I like it: Flower language! Funny and sweet.
google search: HOT WAX IN EYE WHAT DO, Hermitcraft
0.5k, Grian/Etho modern AU
Summary: Grian and Etho have a mishap while trying something new.
Why I like it: Silly and fun.
All the Love, Hermitcraft
1.5k, Cleo/Etho hanahaki
Summary: A confession ten years in the making leaves some evidence behind.
Why I like it: Waugh. Them. A bit sappy but not too sweet.
No Time For Losing, Hermitcraft
1.2k, Grian & Scar reality show fake dating BnHA fusion with cross dressing (not an especially weird combo by Battleship standards)
Summary: One million diamonds is well worth a little humiliation.
Why I like it: Scar and Grian scamming people, hell yeah.
Sugar (Ooh, Honey Honey), Hermitcraft
1.2k, Cleo/Etho, modern AU
Summary: Etho knows she’s giving Cleo ideas about how to keep her behaving. She knows she’s leading herself down a slippery slope. But no one ever said Etho couldn’t be bought, especially if the price includes a shopping spree and tolerating going to an escape room with Etho.
Because Etho’s been wanting to go to the new Decked Out room that Tango opened last month, since maybe three months before it opened. But escape rooms aren’t designed to be singleplayer, and Etho has a history of being really annoying to try to do escape rooms with, so she hasn’t found luck getting a group together.
Until Cleo, exasperated with Etho’s bratting one night, had cut her a deal:
A week of wearing her cock cage and being good, actually good, not “technically following the letter of the law but clearly exploiting loopholes” good, and they would take Etho shopping, then to Decked Out 2, and play it with her.
And there’s no world Etho’s giving up a chance to play Decked Out 2. And spend Cleo’s money.
Why I like it: Very much agreed that Etho in lingerie and Etho being competent are hot.
It's You, Hermitcraft
0.6k, Cleo (/Etho), Pern fusion
Summary: Cleo finds out that you can't entirely avoid introspection when you have a smart-ass dragon in your head.
Why I like it: Sweet, and yes Cleo should have a dragon.
Bury Yourself (and remember me when you're alone) Hermitcraft
art, Doc & Joe & Pearl & Gem & False
Summary: Doc hires a band to be the soundtrack for his final duel at the end of the world.
Why I like it: Very cool final confrontation.
The three weeks of the event were very intense. Multifandom Battleship starts soon and I don't think I'll sign up for it even though I had a great time last year, but that'd be a bit too much.
And now, off to read more from the collections! All Ages and 18 Plus, almost 1.200 works in total already, and there are still almost two weeks of the anon period.
