storkswap didn't run this year, but we did get a flash exchange in its place, which tbh was exactly the right size of commitment for me personally just now. I wrote and received things!
I received:
the cradle will rock by aguntoaknifefight (
swirlingvoid),
Hell Hole (2024), Sofija/Teddy, 1300 words. Remember
that tiny horror movie I wrote about a while back with the parasitical tentacle monster that wants to incubate in men's stomachs? I did a short canon promo in my signup, and someone WATCHED IT and wrote me post-canon fic for the very cute het ship and their very alarming monster incubation situation. I love the mix of sweetness and unease in this.
And I wrote:
old hat, new hat,
Junior (1994), Alex/Diana, 700 words. Sometime after the movie, Alex is pregnant again, and he and Diana have feelings about how it's going to be different from the last time. You will unsurprised to hear that I absolutely adore this movie, and I was ecstatic to see someone request it. I liked letting them get to enjoy a pregnancy moment together that Alex had to experience alone the first time around.
