Day Twenty-Nine: Defiance, “Better me than you," Leverage, another (teeny) installment in the werewolf!Eliot 'verse. Hardison catches a bullet meant for Eliot.

Day Thirty: Hair Grabbing, “Please don’t touch me," MCU, Thor's hair encounters some very sticky mad science, and he gets help detangling it from an unexpected quarter.

Day Thirty-One: Comfort, MCU, Endgame, as performed by child!Avengers versus bully!Thanos.

Holy fishsticks! I did it! Thirty-one days! And, according to the AO3 count, 70,477 words posted! I don't remember my record for total word count back when I did NaNoWriMo. But this certainly has to be up there for most words I've written in a month. That nearly doubled my total word count for my whole AO3 account and added five new fandoms to my written works.

Did I exhaust myself, sacrifice both life necessities and hobbies alike to make room for this, and generally stress myself out? Absolutely. Do I have any regrets? No. Will I revisit some of these fragments to turn them into full stories? ...Possibly. ✪ ω ✪

Day Twenty-Two: Toxic, MCU, Thor gets hurt on a mission. Bucky has a natural tendency to care for big, dumb blonds who pick fights above their weight class, whether he remembers that or not.

Day Twenty-Three: Forced to Kneel, MCU, Tony & Natasha, a witch's curse compels Tony to obey his teammates, only one of whom has any idea how to cope with that.

Day Twenty-Four: Blood Covered Hands, “I don’t want to do this anymore”, Leverage, eventual OT3, Eliot keeps getting hurt, and Alec is making plans about how he can keep that from happening anymore. It's all Eliot's idea--Alec is just the one taking notes.

Day Twenty-Five: Lost Voice, Duct Tape, Losers, Jensen is the team witch and gets his power locked away from him by a rival witch.

Day Twenty-Six: No One Left Behind, Separated, MCU, a mishap with a shrink ray leaves three Avengers at the mercy of the world's newest budding mad scientist.

Day Twenty-Seven: Stumbling, Magical Exhaustion, MCU, Bucky has always had magic. It's just never done him any good.

Day Twenty-Eight: Anger Born of Worry, Punching the Wall, MCU, Bruce doesn't think he's really on a team, and he definitely doesn't think he should be one of the people responding to an Avengers call to arms. He hadn't counted on how hard it would be to be the one waiting at home, though.

Next week of fills! Which ended up all being MCU, though I did get some Leverage mixed in there.

Day Fifteen: Lies, New Scars, MCU, Tony Stark: billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, witch. Or, how Tony programmed himself a familiar and made a bargain with a demon of his own creation.

Day Sixteen: Paralytic Drugs, “No one’s coming.” MCU, Shifter!Bruce on the run, and Clint trying to recruit him at a really inopportune moment.

Day Seventeen: Reluctant Caretaker, MCU, Tony & Clint, animal transformation.

Day Eighteen: Let's Break the Ice, “Take my Coat”, MCU/Leverage crossover. Eliot is a dead ringer for the Winter Soldier, especially if you're an overenthusiastic Hydra goon.

Day Nineteen: Knees Buckling, Head Lolling, MCU, Vampire Avengers, sleep deprivation, implied Steve/Tony.

Day Twenty: Fetal Position, Prisoner Trade, MCU, Space opera, Clint and Steve find Natasha being sold as a day laborer at the spaceport they just docked at.

Day Twenty-One: “Take me instead.”, MCU, fantasy AU, Clint, kidnapped by highwaymen, meets the Winter Dragon.

Another linkspam update for Whumptober! I'm especially pleased with Day Fourteen's story, which could easily convince me to write the rest of it. The Leverage werewolf AU, which has reappeared on Day Ten, has basically already succeeded on that count for itself.

Day Eight: Stomach Pain, Head Trauma, Venom, Fantasy AU of how Eddie and Venom get together, which is still basically that Eddie is a nosy idiot

Day Nine: Sleeping in Shifts, Caught in a Storm, The Losers, another Jensen/Cougar piece. Not so much a magic AU as canon taken half a step to the left, in which the Losers are a team dedicated to finding and securing magical artifacts before they can be misused.

Day Ten: Taser, Leverage, a continuation of Day Four's werewolf!Eliot AU. The secret was bound to get out eventually: Eliot gets captured by someone who knows he's a werewolf. Cue rescue mission.

Day Eleven: Sloppy Bandages, Self-Done First Aid, Avengers, Steve is used to dealing with his own injuries. Bruce shows him he has options these days.

Day Twelve: Cave In, Rusty Nail, Avengers, Teenage Horror AU. Natasha and Tony do their part to take out a nest of hydra creatures.

Day Thirteen: “Are you here to break me out?”, Avengers, Given what he went through at Loki's hands, Clint figures he's owed a favor from Asgard. Clint/Coulson.

Day Fourteen: Failed escape, MCU/Losers crossover, vampires, Jensen encountering the Winter Soldier and having some, shall we say, mixed emotions about the experience

Playing catchup on both writing and linking this weekend. Gods help me, I am hitting or exceeding NaNoWriMo levels of daily word count. How? Am? I? Doing? This???

Day Four: Hidden Injury, The Leverage team as monster hunters and Eliot with a slightly different dark and secret past

Day Five: Hyperthermia, Another modern monster hunter AU, this time for Mad Max: Fury Road. The desert is never gentle, and only some of the ghosts are friends.

Day Six: “I’ve got a pulse”, Screams from Across the Hall, The Losers watch one of their own die again. It's okay--Jensen gets over it. Cougar/Jensen. The Old Guard crossover.

Day Seven: Shaking Hands, Silent Panic Attack, Sam gets roped into helping Steve's paranormal investigation team, gets stuck partnering with Bucky, and gets trapped in a basement by something ominous. It's a hell of a recruitment process.
