“it’s really not that surprising, you know. you’ve practised serving more than anyone else over these past five months”

[five drawings of fire emblem characters. 1: claude and hilda lean across a table, sizing each other up with equally calculating smiles. the text reads “i’m not calling you a liar; just don’t lie to me.” 2: felix steps aggressively into sylvain’s space, scowling; sylvain smiles nervously. the text reads “i’m not calling you a thief, just don’t steal from me.” 3: dedue solemnly cradles a shellshocked, teary dimitri close to his chest. the text reads “i’m not calling you a ghost; just stop haunting me.” 4: hubert has ferdinand pinned to a wall, one gloved hand covering ferdinand’s mouth; his eyes are hidden. ferdinand looks frozen with shock. 5: byleth, eyes closed as if in slumber; green lines in the shape of a pair of lungs are superimposed overtop. the text reads “there’s a ghost in my lungs and it sighs in my sleep.”]
jojo’s bizarre adventure: golden wind | horizons form from the soul
Giomis, with incidental Naratrish and Bruabba, 12.1k. Volleyball AU.
Giorno Giovanna has a dream. That dream is to play volleyball.
“Yeah! You’re kind of a mystery, y’know,” Mista says, pointing emphatically at Giorno’s nose so that Giorno goes cross-eyed. “Not that that’s not cool and all—it is—but I don’t even know what kinda music you like. Or your favorite, y’know… color.”
“My favorite color?” Giorno repeats, eyebrows arching.
Mista’s voice had trailed off into a mumble on the last word, and his usual confidence had sputtered out. Now he looks flustered, yanking his hand back from Giorno’s face and cramming it into his pocket again, staring resolutely at the street ahead of them.
“You know what I mean,” he stammers. Giorno doesn’t know what he means. “It’s just—I don’t know. When it comes to volleyball, I—I have fun and all, but… you just seem… really different. Like, more intense? Passionate?” He grimaces. “Forget it.”
Now Giorno knows, a little bit, what he means.
He tells Mista, “I like pink.”

AO3 won the 2019 Hugo Award for Best Related Work!
Here’s the speech given by Naomi Novik when the award was accepted:
All fanwork, from fanfic to vids to fanart to podfic, centers the idea that art happens not in isolation but in community. And that is true of the AO3 itself. We’re up here accepting, but only on behalf of literally thousands of volunteers and millions of users, all of whom have come together and built this thriving home for fandom, a nonprofit and non-commercial community space built entirely by volunteer labor and user donations, on the principle that we needed a place of our own that was not out to exploit its users but to serve them.
Even if I listed every founder, every builder, every tireless support staff member and translator and tag wrangler, if I named every last donor, all our hard work and contributions would mean nothing without the work of the fan creators who share their work freely with other fans, and the fans who read their stories and view their art and comment and share bookmarks and give kudos to encourage them and nourish the community in their turn.
This Hugo will be joining the traveling exhibition that goes to each Worldcon, because it belongs to all of us. I would like to ask that we raise the lights and for all of you who feel a part of our community stand up for a moment and share in this with us.
All of my Tsukkiyama Week fills are posted here, all rated G or T. Comments and kudos and likes and reblogs are all fine and, in fact, great.
