Summary
In the wake of the S2 finale, Vox finds himself in Alastor's hands.
Unfortunately, he can't even remember who Alastor is. Or, for that matter, his own identity.
Doesn't help that he also can't see. Or hear. Or feel his own body...

As my birthday gift to the fandom, a new Fic Form:
Depict a sequence of short encounters between various characters who typically wouldn't share screen time.
(Note that this can be friendship/Platonic encounters and doesn't have to be dating/romantic encounters.)Here's my first entry; I hope that others will follow up on the idea and come up with their own versions ^_^

Summary
What a grand jest, he thought, running the tips of his fingers over the string of runes that had finally, finally appeared.
Was it not enough that he was ignored by his brother, mocked by his peers, discounted by his father? But the Norns had seen fit to hurl one further insult at him, through the one person in all the Realms who was supposed to be on his side.
He knew nothing of his hollvinr—the supposedly loyal friend he would inevitably meet—beyond the words, and they were damning enough. Whoever this man was, he would be no friend of Loki’s. Even the first words hurled Loki’s way would be insults, and where could they possibly go from there?

Open Chapterfics (MCU) by Zaniida
Fandom Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies), The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Thor (Movies)
22 Aug 2026
Summary
MCU and MCU-adjacent fics that have substantial length and are split into chapters but haven't yet been completed. This is a way to keep track of which fics I have yet to finish.
2019's July Prompt votes gave 7 to Tremble and Serve and 2 to To the Victor, so those are high priority compared to most of the rest. However, the Creepyfest fics still take kinda high priority since they have a definite end in sight and I'd like to complete them soon-ish.

July Creativity Prompts by Zaniida
Fandom Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon), Marvel Cinematic Universe, Person of Interest (TV)
01 Jul 2026
Summary
Every year, the same sort of prompt: Go forth and make something fannish in a creative medium you're not familiar with or not yet skilled at.
Each year, I try to meet that challenge myself, delving into some new form of fannish creativity. I've made fan art and podfics, script readings and acted scenes, bead art and Sims characters, a comics page (still hope to add more to that one), logic puzzles and a crossword puzzle, and even a Meta essay on the character arcs of the Avengers. Probably more. Maybe someday I'll finally make that opera.

Someone turned a fic into a work of art using typography. Fascinating. I should like to see more.

Summary
Written for this prompt, whose premise is probably the darker flipside of in the day's.
In the 70 years Steve's been in the ice, there have been some amazing leaps in submissives' rights - a collared sub is no longer classed as the property of their Dominant, uncollared subs aren't expected to quietly put up with unwanted attention from Doms, [...]
After Clint back chats Steve a little too much, Steve forcibly puts Clint down into subspace, tell him that'll he'll damn well listen to what Steve says, tells him that if he's going to be on the team then he'll be on there under Steve's conditions, which includes one of the new high-tech StarkIndustry collars that can't be removed without a specific code - one that Steve's not telling Clint
Things got better during the seventy years Steve was frozen, but Steve, man out of time, stayed the same.

Bookmarker's Notes
Steve sees Clint mouthing off a lot and being reckless in the field, learns he's a sub, and concludes that he needs to be brought under control via forced subdrop and a collar he can't take off. That was just normal in the 40's.
Clint does not respond well to this, but he's also too conflicted and compromised to tell anyone, and the rest of the team is oblivious for too damn long. But eventually they figure it out, and read Steve the riot act, and put him through sensitivity classes, and get Clint back into Coulson's care like he's supposed to be.
One of those deeply uncomfortable (and suspenseful) fics that is well worth reading.

Desmond winds up becoming Cassandra's manservant, and he understands her better than many others could.
Lots of subtext. Moderately negative toward Percy (with good reason).

Summary
During their travels in the Feywild, even Garmelie’s assistance can’t stop Vox Machina from wandering into trouble. It is, after all, what they do best. This time, however, they may have run into something more powerful than even they can face down – in the form of a Wild Hunt, eager for sport and thirsty for blood.
This does not go well for Vox Machina, generally. It goes even worse for Percy, specifically.
Alone, cut off from his party, and being hunted by creatures more dangerous even than the Chroma Conclave, it will take everything Percy has just to survive.

Bookmarker's Notes
In the Feywild, the team runs afoul of the Wild Hunt -- and Percy winds up alone and on the run, pushing himself to the limit (and past many limits he thought he had) to survive what by all rights should be a death sentence. Intense and gripping.
