For the past six weeks, I've had 49 published works on AO3. I had a lot of complicated feelings about what to write for my fiftieth: whether to dip back into a previous monofandom, or a nostalgia fandom I haven't written before, or to start fresh with a new canon I'm currently devouring. I wanted to post a work that meant something to me as a fan.
So I did what anyone would do: I signed up for a 48 hour nonsense exchange and wrote a semi-serious crackfic from the POV of salt.
Sweat, Tears, or the Sea, The Magnus Archives, Jonathan Sims/Martin Blackwood, original non-human characters
Statement of salt, harvested from a mine in Scotland and bought at an organic grocer in Chiswick by Martin Blackwood in summer 2016.
Statement never written or recorded.
From the random freeform tags I threw in my signup, I expected to get some ridiculous kinky porn (if I got anything). I actually got two wonderful serious takes on my requested tags, which is as wonderfully absurd as writing salt POV.
Dark Mirror's Lies, Star Wars, Rey/Kylo Ren
In an Alternate Universe, Ben Organa is a Jedi and Rey is a Sith. Rey takes Ben captive and makes him her slave.
The Force, or at least its Dark Side, wanted it that way.
Five Times Jon Sims Would Really Rather Be Anywhere Else, The Magnus Archives, Jonathan Sims/Elias Bouchard, Jonathan Sims/Michael, Jonathan Sims/unspecified tentacles
He really should have read the fine print.
