I seem to be playing catch up since the start of the year, partly because I allowed myself a hiatus for a couple of weeks - putting myself behind on my sfbb fics as well as my internet reading and commenting.

Title: The Count's Physician
Fandom: Da Vinci's Demons
Pairing/Characters: Leonardo da Vinci/Girolamo Riario, Lucrezia Donati
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 13,435
Prompt: For the

unconventionalcourtship fest 2016 using as inspiration plot 26 Lady Jane’s Physician by Anne Ashley.
Summary: Count Girolamo Riario was staying with his cousin, Lucrezia Donati, but his enjoyment of the countryside was marred when Lucrezia introduced him to the arrogant Dr Leonardo da Vinci. Then, when Riario needed Leo's professional help, he couldn’t help falling in love. But Leonardo knew, if Riario didn’t, that a count was out of his reach.
Content Notes: No standard warnings apply. alternate universe – historical, alternate universe – regency, regency romance, based on a romance novel summary, unconventional courtship, medical kink, doctors & physicians, horse riding, period typical homophobia, some medical handwaving, some historical handwaving, Leonardo da Vinci M.D., implied Leo/Lucrezia UST, developing Riario & Lucrezia
Author Notes: There are no doubt inaccuracies in the fic, but I used sources including Online Etymology Dictionary and Jane Austen's World to try and avoid truly egregious historical errors.
Thank you to the Tumblr users who encouraged me when I got stuck mid-fic and despaired of finishing it :)

Title: After Penance, Peace
Fandom: Da Vinci's Demons
Pairing/Characters: Leo/Riario
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 1244
Prompt: For a smallfandomkinkmeme prompt, Da Vinci's Demons, Leonardo/Riario, Penance / Religious, with additional details mentioning Riario being glad to receive a beating since he'd murdered innocent people; smut; or "Let me pay for my sins". I tried to use elements of both the beating and the "Let me pay for my sins" and I don’t write a lot of smut but I did my best.
Summary: Riario wants, needs, to be punished for his actions. Leonardo takes on the burden, hoping to intersperse the pain with pleasure.
Content Notes: No standard warnings apply. There's some consensual whipping, flogging.

Day 11

In your own space, make a list of at least 3 things that you like about yourself.

1. My creativity. I always say it the best part of me and I don't know how to exist without it.

2. I read, and I watch, and I analyse, and I have an eye for detail. There's no point creating something if there's never any audience for it. And the more impressed I am with you, the more I get to know you, the more detailed the comments I will give; and I will be honest. Possibly more detailed and honest than you'd like but that's another matter. If you want encouragement *and* concrit tell me and I won't hold back. If I beta read, I do it whole-heartedly.

3.I have eclectic tastes and know random facts about a variety of topics. I don't know everything about everything but I often know something about many things. And I will share my knowledge and link you to articles or recs. I will even do some research for you if the subject takes my fancy. It ties in with creating and reading, the last part of the triad is disseminating and repackaging information, bringing creators and consumers together.

Day 14
In your own space, share your love for something fannish: a trope, cliché, kink, motif, theme, format, or fandom.

Hurt/Comfort is my bread and butter. I could say more but I talk about it often enough that it seems redundant, though clearly I need better tags since I can't find specific posts to link to at this moment.

Day 08
Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before
Within this year's challenge I've done that, commenting on other people's entries, as well as leaving comments on fanfic at AO3 for authors who are new to me.

Day 03

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.

Day 6

In your own space, create your own challenge. What’s something you want to see more people doing in fandom? Is there something you’ve tried that you think other people would enjoy if they gave it a go? Dare your friends to try it out, and have fun with it. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
