toothpastepancake | 2025 fanwork wrapup

Happy 2026!

I'm still trying to get used to the fact that it's 2026. I've been having a real difficult time these past few months, and I've been very dissociative so it's hard for me to process the passage of time. But man, it's a new year, which means it's time to look back on the previous year's fanworks.

In 2025, I wrote 127.8k words. It was the first year I actually tracked every word I wrote, but I'm pretty sure it's the most productive year I've ever had. I'm really proud of myself for that. I have 6 pages of fic written in 2025, so instead of listing them all, I'll just list my favorites for each month.

JAN 2025:

10 Jan. lemon meringue triptych, The Orville, Alara/Solana, incest TW, 3K, Explicit. One of my favorite pieces of the year, if not my favorite piece. Remember, all that Alara wants is to be loved, to be seen, and her sister, and she’s still figuring out the order in which she wants these things.
22 Jan. girls, boys, art, pleasure (violence, religion, injustice, and death), The Orville, Claire/Isaac/Timmis, 1k, explicit. She is genuinely surprised when Timmis agrees.

FEB 2025:

05 Feb. a vivisection of me, done by god for all to see, Charmed 2018, Macy/Charity, 818w, Explicit, gore tw. Bring Her Bleeding Heart To Me event. Charity looks so beautiful like this, her body strapped down bare and ready for each touch, each slice and slip of finger.
19 Feb. Oneiromancy, Doom Patrol TV, Valentina/Her Spirit, 6K interactive fiction 4 endings, Explicit. Space Swap exchange. Where does Valentina go after Space Patrol? You decide!

MAR 2025:

05 Mar. concrete hands, The Orville, Primary/Tertiary, 394w, explicit, wireplay. Rare Kink Buffet fest. “Your temperature has increased by 15.3%,” Tertiary notes as he works.
25 Mar. keep your proud head from falling , The Orville, Solana/Drenala, 848w, Explicit, Incest TW. Rare Kink Buffet fest. Before Solana's graduation party, her mother gives her a gift.

APR 2025:

09 Apr. lifeform, The Orville, Kelly/Teleya, 1.6k, Explicit. Space swap exchange. Kelly is Anaya's other parent.
15 Apr. you can come inside, unlock the door, take off your shoes (but this might take all night), I Saw The TV Glow, Owen/Maddy, 1.3k, T. Everything is femslash exchange. Maddy and Owen share dreams, and write some fanfiction, and move on.
17 Apr. I'm a larva wrapped in silk; I am dying in burning flesh, Yellowjackets, Shauna/Callie, 743w, Incest TW (parent/child). In another universe Callie is running through the woods. Her mother wants her to, so she is running through the woods.
25 Apr. And if you give me just one more night / I could prove that there's a God, Yellowjackets, Laura Lee/OFC, 1.8k, Mature, child grooming CW. Laura Lee makes it out, runs a Christian summer camp, and sins again, again, again.

I did a lot of cool stuff last April…

MAY:

20 May. so young to be so cruel, The Orville, Alara/Solana, 1.5k, Teen, Incest TW. On the first day of her final schooling year, she is handed a sheet of paper, along with some colored pencils, and is told to draw a self portrait.
27 May. who can decide what they dream? (and dream i do), I Saw the TV Glow, Owen/Maddy, 1.4k, T. Diegetic exchange. The Pink Opaque isn't something you can just write about--it has to line up, it has to slot in. But if anyone can do it, Maddy can.

JUNE:

10 Jun. Grandloves, Yellowjackets, Laura Lee/Lottie Matthews, 1.2k, T. The flight manual becomes a new Bible.

JULY:

18 July. a dawn chorus, The Orville, Kelly/Topa, 1.6k, T. Battleship 2025. Adult/canonical minor. The next Union Point semester starts in two months, and Topa will be a Moclan adult by then. Where does the time go?

AUGUST:

17 Aug. wolf mother (my disgrace), Yellowjackets, Shauna/Callie, 811w, Explicit, Incest tw (parent/child.) In anatomy class they try to teach you the parts of the human body.

SEPTEMBER:

25 Sept. Fragments (50 Sentences About Alara Kitan), The Orville, Alara/Solana, 1.5k, Mature, incest TW. 1character.
26 Sept. but you were my prey (are you that somebody?), Psych, Shawn/Yang, 875w, Explicit, Rape/noncon. "Doing so good for me, Shawn," she says, singsong.

OCTOBER:

30 Oct. what i have and what i ache for, The Orville, Kelly/Topa, 729w, Teen, Adult/canonical minor. For the 100 minutes challenge spooky edition. She burns, and she will burn.

NOVEMBER:

10 Nov. Enter Search Query, The Orville, Alara/Solana, 917w, Teen, incest tw. FIND: [Enter Search Query] | FIND: Heart, soul, heart.
27 Nov. II.I. Safety, Octet - Malloy, OC, 2k, M, pedophilia and abuse tw. My name is McKenzie and I’m addicted to fanfiction. Well. Fighting over fanfiction, mostly.

DECEMBER:

13 Dec. i go to a funeral every day / my eyes so clear, Doom Patrol TV, Larry/Keeg, 3.3k, Explicit, parent/child incest tw. Macrocest bingo night edition. It's 2033, and the world is dead; it finally caught up to him.
19 Dec. bound to your bedside, your eulogy singer, Pluribus, Carol/The Others | Zosia, 2k, Explicit, wound fingering. You are, of course, simply another unit of muscle—-but you are a unit of muscle with Her buried deep inside, the second best thing to a joining.

So yeah! There were my favorite fanworks of the year. I hope I have an even more productive 2026.
