Fic or Treat!

DW username:
embraideryLight is on for: friends, DW followers, anyone who came here from ficortreat!
What's in the Bowl? Ficlets, logic puzzles (by Raymond Smullyan, not me), book recs, podficlets, doodles, blackout poetry
Let Me Know:
Ficlets - check out my profile on AO3 or my autoao3app for fandoms I've created for or requested before! I'll be honest, I have a lot of rare fandoms, but it's a fun grab bag. I won't create for Harry Potter anymore, but almost anything else is fair game. Let me know characters/ships you're into, maybe a prompt, DNWs? Let me know your AO3 handle if you'd like it gifted.
Logic puzzles - these would be from one of my books of logic puzzles, mostly dealing with figuring out which statements are true and which are false (i.e. one person always lies and the other always tells the truth).
Book recs - let me know genres! I have a variety of YA, sci-fi, fantasy, a little bit of horror, a little bit of poetry, quite a bit of PG Wodehouse. I also have some short stories to recommend!
Podficlets - drop a few options of fics under 2.5k and I'll see what I can do. Doesn't have to be in a fandom I know. No non-con or omegaverse and no Harry Potter, please! (And, of course, the author must be okay with the work being podficced.) Let me know your AO3 handle if you'd like it gifted.
Doodles - I can draw characters I know or characters I don't if you can link me a visual reference. Or geometric art and/or optical illusion art!
Blackout poetry - send me a page of a fic you wrote or a book/poem in the public domain and I'll black it out and make poetry!
Other info: Drop me a fun fact about something in the world or the weirdest thing you've ever eaten or some other bit of information! Happy Halloween!

/opens gigantic bag!!!!
Please pick whatever strikes your fancy -
Ficlets -
Do I dare ask you for Challengers? Art/Tashi, Art/Tashi/Patrick. Memory, stolen moment, unhappily ever after, skilled in more than just hitting a ball with a racket.
Or! Inej! Give me feathers, cages, freedom, on the sea.
Book recs -
Give me some short story recs, please! Any genre. I don't really read short stories so I'd love to actually change that and be able to blame you ♥.
Blackout poetry -
I'm curious about what this looks like! What if I throw you a (raunchy) Battleship gift I wrote you this year? (Feel free to pick one of your SoC stories if you'd prefer that!)
I don't remember anything weird I've eaten, but I can tell you I dislike jelly because of the texture. People apparently find this weird!
no subject
Jelly meaning what Americans call jell-o? I can see that being an off putting texture!

I typed the entire fic on my typewriter, then obscured most of it by typing xxx over it.
Transcription:
"a hand along her back;
warm mouth against her;
breathless
mouth over her breast
murmurs
exhales
arches
breathes
smiles
shakes and shakes
ascends faster,
impatient"
And as for short stories!
Homecoming is Just Another Word for the Sublimation of the Self by Isabel J. Kim: a world where people can split into "instances" of themselves, an original and a copy. The main character moved from Korea to the US as a kid and travels back to Korea for her grandfather's funeral, where she meets her instance for the first time.
The House of Asterion by Jorge Luis Borges: a very short take on the minotaur of Greek myth.
The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman: perhaps you read this one in school, but if it's been a long time, may I recommend reading it again? I just read it again for Trick or Treat and loved the horror of Victorian era misogyny and the slow creep of the horrible wallpaper.
Enjoy!!

Thank you so much for the short stories! I can't wait to devour them.
