So I wrote my chocolate box letter on Jan. 4th requesting B^2 soulmates and not only did I get B^2 soulmates fanart out of the exchange, 4 soulmate AU fics have been posted since! Most of them are still incomplete, but I do enjoy how we all seemed to share one brain cell about this. :D

Here is the entry if you want to check it out- I think I've not crossposted most things I put up on tumblr here, so there's a Brojen GIFset, a Arya&Gendry&Hot Pie ficlet, a Robert/Lyanna vs Rhaegar/Lyanna meta, a Podsa meta and a Joy Luck Club GIFset that have not landed on my DW yet. Whew!

Also if anybody is interested, my Fandom Giftbox is here! My requests are for GoT/ASoIaF- Podsa, Brojen, Missandei/Grey Worm, FFVII- Cloti, Reeve/Rufus, Kate Daniels series- Julie/Ascanio/Derek, Julie/Ascanio, Julie/Derek, Barabas/Christopher. Feel free to drop your Giftbox link in my comments if you want me to take a gander at yours!

Current Mood: accomplished

Slight gripe about this: nobody uses this tag on Ao3, so finding fics that fit this trope was like combing through a haystack desperately hoping for a sliver of silver. BUT using the word "idiots" (what usually came up was "idiots in love" or "idiots to lovers") nicely narrowed it down, since this trope often has that "they've been close friends for so long that everybody just assumes" and hilariously obtuse denials that bring back Gendry and Arya arguing over Bella's "bellringing" offer although neither can vocalize why they're both so upset in A Storm of Swords.

Therefore I figured this would be a popular trope for Modern Gendrya, especially since this fic crossed my dash not too long ago, (but I was wrong- it's actually not common at all):

Why not us? (8604 words) by obsessivewriter
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones (TV)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Friends to Lovers, First Kiss, First Time, Meddling Families, Best Friends, first I love yous, lots of banter, Childhood Friends
Summary: Gift for my good friend TK (@katlyn1948) based on her prompt:
“We should just hook up. Everyone already thinks we’re together.”

This is really cute- Gendry blurting his feelings at the end is just so on point. I love how this is written as snippets through time.
Next is one of my favorite AU fics:

Series: Part 1 of hogwarts au
Summary: There are few people Arya Stark dislikes more than Gendry Waters. One of those people might be whoever gave an arrogant, miserable dick like Waters the Gryffindor quidditch captain's badge.
Gendry just wants to win a championship, prove a few people wrong, and find a way to put up with his entitled, spoiled seeker.

Featuring: lots of quidditch, lots of bickering, not enough actual studying, an intrusive Ned Dayne, a clueless Podrick Payne, some mistletoe, some miscommunication, and a few hundred other clichés.

They are just DELIGHTFULLY oblivious in this and everybody from teammates to classmates to Ramsey Bolton and even some magic mistletoe knows it. Sansa/Podrick mirror their idiotic foolishness too, and it all comes to a very apt conclusion.

One of the reasons I really wanted to do this rec list is because I get to discover gems like this buried in the archive:

Summary:

In retrospect, it’s a terrible idea.

“This is a terrible,” Gendry had said to her when she first suggested it, waving his hands emphatically, “terrible idea.”

So yeah, maybe he was right. But what’s that thing that assholes always say?

Hindsight is twenty-twenty?

That, Arya thinks, just might be accurate.

(Alternate title, Idiots in Love Fake Date & Swear at Each Other for Five Thousand Words.)

Soooo good. The mutual pining and Sansa and Catelyn being all PUHLEASE you guys are only fooling yourselves is perfect.

And I can't believe I missed this scrubclub gem! She wrote it before S8 turned me into a hardcore shipper though:

Series: Part 7 of AryaxGendry Week 2018
Summary:

Written for AryaxGendry Week 2018 Day 7: "That's Not What I Meant"

Arya needs a fake boyfriend & Gendry doesn't really get a say in the matter.

All the minor characters in AsoIaF playing telephone of OMG FINALLY around the club when Arya makes Gendry fake date her for the night is absolutely perfect in this.

Do let me know if you find any others!

Current Mood: amused

For Trope Bingo and all other interested parties. LOL

First on the list is the Gendrya fandom classic. I'm sure everybody who likes the AryaxGendry pairing has read it, and it is literally the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the trope. From 2011 and still awesome. Book canon, not show, so they start out younger and do some growing up together. It is a classic for a reason- it's SO GOOD.

Five Times Arya Stark Shared a Bed With Gendry (11870 words) by vixleonard
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Gendry/Arya Stark
Characters: Arya Stark, Gendry (ASoIaF), Jon Snow, Sansa Stark
Summary: She is Arya Stark of Winterfell, a girl with four brothers who has always felt more comfortable in the company of men, but Gendry...Well, he's just confusing

This corner of the fandom is actually still veeery active, to the point where the gendrya tag is often overwhelming. So here are some more recs for this pairing WRT this specific trope. I noticed a couple of weird things while I was compiling this list: some authors don't tag for bed sharing even when it is in the fic, while some tag it even when they never share a bed in the whole fic. :/ But here are some well written bed sharing fics that are A+ in terms of cuddly comfort and/or UST with mutual pining and angst. *happy sigh*

Here's a short but sweet "Missing scene" type fic for while "Arry" and Gendry are travelling with Yoren after escaping KL.

Out of the Dark (805 words) by Schwoozie

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Arya Stark/Gendry Waters
Characters: Arya Stark, Gendry Waters
Additional Tags: Sharing a Bed, on the road, Canon Compliant, Canon Genderbending, Friendship, Caretaking, One Shot
Summary: Arya is too stubborn for her own good, but Gendry can tell there's something more beneath it. He gives what little comfort he can.

And at the other end of canon, here is a great fic with awkward bedsharing because it's post GoT canon.

All roads lead to Qohor (12315 words) by obsessivewriter
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones (TV)
Rating: Explicit

Relationships: Arya Stark/Gendry Waters
Characters: Arya Stark, Gendry Waters, Original Characters
Additional Tags: Friends to Lovers, exes to friends and back to lovers, Search For Identity, Tattoos, Blacksmithing
Series: Part 3 of Qohor
Summary: Arya goes West to find what there is at the edge of the world, while Gendry gives two years to his lordship, and then finally heads East to learn Qohorik smithing secrets. Fate would have that if you go far enough West, and far enough East you are bound to meet.
When they meet, Gendry invites Arya to stay at his place, while she sorts herself out. In the end, she doesn't leave, and they find their way to becoming friends again, they finally talk about all the things left unsaid between them, and they explore the secrets of Qohor, The City of Sorcerers.

This has been recently updated. The last line in the second chapter will give you delightfully angsty pangs.

During the Storm (8286 words) by Scylla87
Chapters: 3/3
Fandom: Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms

Relationships: Arya Stark/Gendry Waters
Characters: Arya Stark, Gendry Waters
Additional Tags: Brotherhood without Banners AU, bed sharing, Angst, Aggravation, Masturbation, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Vaginal Fingering, Voyeurism, Increasingly Explicit Smut, Wet Dream
Summary: Separated from the rest of the Brotherhood and forced to take shelter from a wicked storm in the nearest inn, things get a little tense when Arya and Gendry are forced to share a very small bed. (Takes place a few years in the future in a world where they both stayed with the Brotherhood. Arya's age left ambiguous, so you can make her whatever age you feel comfortable with. I tagged this underage to err on the side of caution.)

Last but not least, this is a long road-trip fic with lots of UST bedsharing (and then RST bedsharing):

Series: Part 1 of you and me, sunday driving
Summary:

“You shouldn’t be in here by yourself. The only men that come in here are thieves and creeps,” he said.

If she was put off by his demeanor, Arya was even more taken aback by his tone.

“Which one are you then?”

(With a graduate degree secured and a dream job waiting in Winterfell, Arya Stark has two months to kill and three-thousand miles ahead of her, before her career begins - until a grumpy hitchhiker causes her to change course, in more ways than one.)

So happy to be able to feel creative again- I don't know what it is about living in Canada, but maybe it's having to share my living space with so many others? Anyway, I got my card a couple of weeks ago and I've already filled out a couple of squares even though I forgot to request no AU or art prompts. (oops)

Sorry for the triple post today, f-list! I'll cut this to be polite!

( Trope Bingo card )

Current Mood: busy

One of the awesome things that the MCU allows for is the capacity to focus on the relationship between two seemingly mismatched Avengers outside of an Avengers film. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we were able to see Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanov grow, bond and understand each other despite initially having little in common. They’ve done this successfully again with two more dynamics in Thor: Ragnarok: that between both Thor&the Hulk and Thor&Bruce Banner. In fact, despite this being a Thor titled film, both the Hulk and Banner got far more character development than they’ve seen onscreen since the original Avengers- especially the Hulk.

( “Oh, Banner. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m happy to see you.” )

So here's my new

trope_bingo card which THANK GOODNESS I get three/six months to use! :DDDD They've added some new tropes this year so it feels nice and fresh.

CHOSEN FAMILY	DEAL WITH THE DEVIL	HANDCUFFED/ BOUND TOGETHER	FORK IN THE ROAD	DEATH FIC

Got my Triple Line Bingo submitted LIKE A BOSS. :DDDD I'm so proud of myself- it's the biggest bingo I've done yet, and some of the pieces have been really well received. :D

Going to step back on fannish commitments, but I still have icons to make for

monanotlisa and A Third Path to continue. Plus it's Sweeps time in TV land again so WHICH OF MY FAVES IS GOING TO BITE IT THIS YEAR?

I'm betting on: somebody on Jane the Virgin and somebody on iZombie dying to free up $$$, since their ratings are lackluster. AoS has been building on its base (YES) so with Mace gone for cannon fodder gravitas, I'm thinking all of our mains will make it out of the Framework and into another season. I'm thinking Fitz will remain Framework!Fitz though. :/

Honestly, I want them to kill Elijah off on The Originals. Maybe it's because I find him boring af. Seriously, what is his character trajectory? Anybody? Ratings have been steady, especially for a Friday night show, so I'm still thinking they'll renew. *fingers crossed*

As for Grey's: I think April/Jackson and Amelia/Owen are going to get back together. And I think Rigg's long-lost wife is going to pop back up in the finale.

Current Mood: bouncy
