How'd I Get So Lucky??
May. 7th, 2022 08:32 amI have mixed results when I participate in exchanges. Mostly what I write for others seems to be appreciated, even the treats, and that's great. What's written for me is usually pretty good too. Of course, there are occasions when I spend a long time writing something you think is really cool for someone and they don't even comment, and there are times when I receive something that isn't really what I asked for and it's kind of disappointing. This week, however, has been a triumph twice over! :)
Now, I can't share what I wrote for the
unsent_letters_exchange or
maythe4thbewithyou yet, because anon periods, but I can share what I received and oh my goodness is it ever some good stuff!!! :D
For May4th...
Holo from Exegol is an amazing, almost 12,000 word fic, set post-TROS, in which Ben survives and he and Rey need help in escaping from Exegol, so Ben tries to contact Chewie on the Falcon, leading to Finn, Poe, Lando, etc. seeing Rey/Ben via a holo message and realising they're together, plus ForceGhost!Leia and ForceGost!Anakin feature as well, and the whole thing is so epic and awesome! I can hardly believe someone went so all-out on an exchange fic for little ol' me :P
also Give Your Hearts, which is a '5 things' Han/Leia fic about them getting married which was just so cute and fun and extremely in-characters. I loved this one too :)
For Unsent Letters...
In A Minute is an MCU fic, Bucky/Nat, obviously, because what else do I usually request? It must have taken the author such a long time, not just the writing of it (over 6,000 words, y'all!) but all the special formatting so that it genuinely looked like letters, emails, reports, text messages - I'm just so impressed! It's post-Endgame, but it goes back to Bucky & Nat's shared history in the Red Room, as per the comics, and in the 'present day' part, everyone is looking for Bucky, realising he has gone to Vormir to get Nat back. Of course, it has a happy ending ;)
So, yeah, I think I have been extremely lucky with exchange gifts this week. I feel properly spoilt and very happy with all my lovely gifts. Can't wait to find out who wrote them next week so I can squee at those people some more and maybe look into what other things they have written that might interest me :) Next up will be the
fluffityfluffexchange, which reveals on Sun 15th May, and I've just signed up for
fairytaleinspired, so that's something to look forward to next month :)
Hope everyone else is being as lucky with exchanges of late! :)
