Masterlist for More Recent Meta

My old essay masterlist was written during the time I was still actively playing Choices, and often went into detail on the diamond scenes of certain characters. But in more recent years, I began writing essays stemming from asks I recieved. I couldn't put them in that masterlist because it was too full by then, and over time all my essays/meta posts became difficult to track. I thought it would be a good time to compile them in a separate place.

Many of these essays were written around 2019-2021, and a lot may have happened since the writing of those. So do understand that some of them were written at a time when the full story was not out, but the arguments behind them often still hold.

I will keep adding to this list as and when I find more essays.

(this beauty of a video is from @sazanes, our co-host and one of the best artists in our fandom!!)

We still can't believe it's been three years since we first started appreciation weeks for Liam! It's always been a beautiful experience, seeing the love and creativity you all shower on this amazing character. Even though the series met its end a long time ago.

It is a testament to how enduring and memorable Liam is, that he still captures imaginations long after the series that introduced him is over.

This year saw some incredible pieces, and fantastic commissions and recommendations from fellow fans. Our CONTRIBUTORS amazed us with their innovative interpretations and enthusiasm, and each entry we received was a labour of love!!

You all have given us so much joy, and so much love through each piece here. Not a day of this appreciation week passed by where we weren't thrilled, enthralled, amazed by the talent and spirit on display here. You all are the jewels on the crown that is this appreciation week. We cannot imagine this week without you.

Some of our contributors also sent in incredible recommendations of work from a wonderful constellation of artists! We were treated to work from @bayleedraws-sometimesx, @ao719 and artbyainna (Instagram) by @angelasscribbles, @kristinamae093 and @tessa-liam. Thank you so much for your dedication in lifting up fellow artists!!

FAN COMMUNITY BLOGS are an incredible source of inspiration and creativity. Many of them have been helping us, year after year, in promoting these events and increasing our reach. Their dedication and commitment to providing a space for our creativity has been nothing short of amazing. We hope to see them continue to do more fantastic work in the future.

And last but definitely NOT the least - our wonderful SIGNAL BOOSTERS!! Where would we be without you all? You have always been our pillar of strength, the reason we keep these events going. How your support and encouragement makes us feel cannot even be put into words. Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts.

The week itself may be over, and the masterlist will be out soon, BUT this blog will be open for entries all year long! Please do not hesitate to send in any work you had planned for KLAW even into next year - it will be open until the next KLAW event.

We hope to be back with more themes, more fun and more joy celebrating Liam next year! Until then, stay safe, have fun and have a great year!!!

Bedtime Baklava

Book: The Royal Romance

Characters: Prince Liam & Queen Regina (filial)

Rating: G

Summary: In her first few months as Queen, Regina Amaranth bonds with her youngest stepson over an unlikely sweet.

Word Count: 2, 653 words

A/N: Inspired by Regina's "parent advice" in the MC's baby shower in TRH - "Don't let the palace kitchen serve baklava after midnight" . Regina and Constantine have just been married for a few months, and Liam is just a couple months short of turning 12.

Tagging @kingliamappreciationweek and @sazanes for KLAW Day 1: Baklava, and @choicesficwriterscreations for FoTW

For the hundredth time tonight, the newest Queen Consort of Cordonia shifts uncomfortably in her bed - her eyes heavy with the promise of slumber, yet refusing to remain completely shut. As if in defeat, they stop forcing themselves closed, and rest wearily upon the steady, almost-hypnotising rise-and-fall of her husband's chest. It moves in a slow, steady rhythm; a rhythm perfectly matched by the deep, broken rumble of his snores.

Regina sighs heavily, and stifles the very childish urge to bury her ears beneath her pillow. It's been five months now since their wedding. Surely that's enough time to get accustomed to a man's - any man's - oddities and idiosyncracies? Even the ones that disrupt your sleep and force you to consume pill after pill for your morning migraine?

Hello and be welcome to the Choices MC Appreciation Week of 2025! Years ago, user beaumontbash created this wonderful event where we had the opportunity to gush and show off about the wonderful and rich MCs in the fandom, and I have decided to bring back this awesome tradition!

Before I give you the prompts, here's some ground rules and things to have in mind during the event:

• You aren't obligated to post for every day! You can post any day you feel like

•The MC doesn't have to be yours

• OCs are welcome and encouraged!

•This event is MC-OC centric, and while a mention of LIs and other characters is welcome, please focus on the MCs

• Everything is welcome! From a screenshot of your MC and some fun facts, to meta and art and fanfiction!

• Posting about your friend/mutual's MCs is counted as an entry and highly encouraged!!!

• Be kind and respectful to one another. MC/OC and user bashing is extrictly prohibited

• Remember to have fun and don't be afraid to check the tag #choicesmcaw25 to see more OCs and MCs!

And now, onto the prompts...

Day One: Straight A+ Students

From The Elementalists, to Ride or Die, Roommates with Benefits, High School Story... Any MC who's a student, show them some love on this day!

Day Two: Terrific Heroes

From the It Lives Anthology, Terror Fest, Wake the Dead, Haunting of Braidwood Manor... Any MC who is involved in everything horror, today's your chance to show some love!

Day Three: Iconic Celebrities

From Platinum, Red Carpet Diaries, Hollywood U... Show some love to that MC that made it big!

Day Four: Awesome Adventurers

From Hero, to Endless Summer, to Blades of Light and Shadow, this is the day to show some love to those brave MCs!

Day Five: Nosy Detectives

From Veil of Secrets, Murder at Homecoming to Crimes of Passion, let us show some love to those MCs who always dig deeper

Day Six: Historic People

From Desire and Decorum to The Royal Masquerade to A Courtesan of Rome, today we show some love to those MCs who made history in the Choicesverse

Day Seven: LGBT+ and Proud

From All of Us, to Bachelorette Party, to Foreign Affairs... Any MC who is part of the community and didn't make an appearance on the other prompts, today's the day to show them off!

The event will be done on February, from the 3rd to the 9th! So start piling your MCs, dust off those WIPs and get ready!

Love,

noe aka @rosesnink

Welcome to our third edition of King Liam Appreciation Week!! Last year saw a record-breaking turnout of stories, art, headcanons and all kinds of creative work - all celebrating this amazing character.

And while the fandom may not be what it used to be in the past years, we still hold out hope that there will be plenty of people who still love Liam and want to show that through their creative work!

November 17th is World Baklava Day, and can you think of a bigger fan of this irresistible sweet than Liam? 😃

This year, the event will run from 17th - 21st November. The themes for the days are as follows:

Day 1 - Nov 17th - Baklava/Throwback

Day 3 - Nov 19th - Roses/Monuments

Day 4 - Nov 20th - Relationships/Coffee

Day 5 - Nov 21st - Healing*

(*Healing can be interpreted any way the reader wishes, both physical and mental healthwise - though we tend to lean a bit more to the latter because of how stoicism is such a central aspect of his growth)

Keep in mind that you don't have to send the content on the exact day of the theme - if you give it a little later as well, it's still fine as long as you tag the piece with the day it was meant for (#KLAW Day 1, #KLAW Day 2, etc).

Any content is welcome! Fanfic, fanart, edits, moodboards, meta, interactive media, headcanons, character appreciation... anything! As long as it celebrates Liam as a character, focuses on him and shows positive depictions of him. We also accept WIPs and a specific day (Throwback) is set aside just for past pieces on Liam. If you like, you can even tell us about the process of creating that piece!

Make sure you tag @kingliamappreciationweek in your posts, as well as the hosts @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes in your content so we don't miss it! It would also make it easier to track if you use the tags #kingliamappreciationweek and #KLAW in your posts as an extra precaution.

Various fan content blogs have helped in promoting our weeks and also run great events on a weekly/monthly basis. We would definitely love for our participants to check them out in case they'd like to be part of those too: @choicesficwriterscreations, @choicesmonthlychallenge, @choicespride, @choicesprompts, @choicesholidays, @choicescommunityevents).

Once the week is officially over, we will keep a bonus week for participants who have trouble sending content during the week itself. Additionally, this blog will be open for entries all year round!

We have about a month to get ready for KLAW, and we're super excited to see what our fellow Liam fans might have in store! See you all in November!!

✅✅signal boosts will be highly appreciated!!✅✅

Previous Years' Masterlists:

KLAW 2022 | KLAW 2023 Part 1, 2, 3

Though our week may be officially over, it will still be open for entries until 1st Dec! We would love to see your work!! 😍😍😍

Planning to keep this open for a bit longer - until Dec 10th. Do send in entries if you can!

KLAW Day 4: Coffee

My fanfics for KLAW (and HYAW! 😭) are still underway, so I thought I'd do a moodboard for Liam the Coffee Lover in the meantime.

Tagging @kingliamappreciationweek and @sazanes for KLAW Day 4: Coffee

• Perhaps the only person who relates to Liam's preference for coffee over tea is Regina. She and the palace chef Anaïs were pretty much the first people to know about it 😅

• Regina prefers hers black with very little sugar. Liam likes it lightly creamed and with sugar. When he marries Esther, who also loves coffee, the three of them often secretly have what they call a "coffee and chit-chat" together.

• As the MIL and DIL grow closer, Esther makes sure to carry along some religieuse to perfectly pair with Regina's dark, bitter coffee, and some nutty treat to go with Liam's creamier, sweet concoction.

• Liam LOVES coasters! He's been in love with them ever since he was a kid, and needed some for his mug of hot chocolate.

• Cordonia's Art Society commissions a King Fabian-inspired coaster collection, complete with intricate art of famous Cordonian Renaissance figures, for Liam's fifth anniversary as king.

(Rumour has it that they heard the king was appalled (appalled!!) by the inaccurate, ahistorical - and quite frankly, rather ridiculous - depictions of the events of 1500 in the Netflix special The Royal Masquerade)

For his tenth, he gets TCaTF-inspired coasters, because by then he becomes a world-renowned coaster collector.

• He has a special affinity to Auvernese coffee, though he will never openly admit it. It's the mineral-rich volcanic soil that makes the produce there taste so good.

(also, his mother used to often feel homesick for it)

• None of his immediate friend-circle have the passion for coffee that Liam does. Maxwell doesn't like caffeinated drinks that much (he loves fruitier concoctions), Drake would much rather enjoy his personal stash of whiskey (he won't turn down an Irish coffee though, for obvious reasons) and Hana really loves tea.

It's officially our final day of KLAW! But for those who haven't been able to send anything yet - fret not! We have our bonus week going on till 1st Dec, so it isn't completely over yet.

We have just one theme for our final day - Healing. Liam is known to be stoic, in control of his emotions, unselfish and giving. But he also is someone who has gone through traumatic experiences, and who copes with them in ways that may not always be helpful to him in the long run. Today's theme provides a space to all of you to figure out what healing for Liam could truly mean!

Any content is welcome!! Just make sure your work centers Liam, and presents a positive depiction of him. Fic, art, meta, headcanons, edits, icons, interactive media, even simple character appreciation posts!! We also accept WIPs, so if your piece isn’t entirely complete by the end of the week, fret not – you can still send us the WIPs!

The themes are simply inspirations. If you bring a piece for one of the days later, it’s entirely okay...just make sure you tag the posts with the day you meant it for! We will always be keeping a bonus week in case you couldn’t complete the piece during the week itself, so our official deadline for pieces will be Dec 1st!

We’d also like all of you to know that KLAW 2024 will be open ALL YEAR ROUND. So if you’re unable to finish a piece before Dec 1st, pls do send it whenever you’re ready to (and tag us!), and it will definitely be up on our masterlist!!

Be sure to do the following while making your posts!

1. Use the tags #kingliamappreciationweek and #KLAW in your posts. Make sure to tag the day as well (#KLAW Day 1, #KLAW Day 2, etc)

2. Tag @kingliamappreciationweek, @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes in your posts so we can keep track!

Fan Community blogs are super important to our promotion of events, so we’d definitely love for you to check out some of these awesome blogs and their challenges:

@choicesficwriterscreations – Accepts most styles of creative works (no AI allowed). Check out their guidelines here!

@choicesmonthlychallenge – Any content accepted (no AI). Here is the prompt list for November and for an upcoming event called Choices Reheated!

@choicesholidays – Any and all content welcome, as long as it is centered around one of the holidays listed! Currently, they are hosting Winter Holidays!

@choicesprompts – Any and all content welcome! Currently, the blog is hosting Angstgiving!

@choicespride – Any and all content welcome, as long as it is centered around LGBTQ+ characters and themes. While not directly associated with this event, we’d like to give a shoutout to their current event – Transgender Awareness Month. If you have any content that you think would fit, definitely give the prompts a look!

Our week may be officially coming to a close today, but that doesn't mean it's fully over yet! We will still be keeping it open for the rest of the month, and the masterlist itself will be open for entries all year round!

For the last time this year...

Happy King Liam Appreciation Week, everyone!!

Love the energy coming in from our Liam stans! We've gotten some incredible work so far - so many stories, artwork and headcanons! We can't wait to see more!!

Day 4, like all the other days, has two themes as well. Our first is Relationships. You can interpret this any way you like - it can refer to a range of things, from romantic, to platonic, to antagonistic to even family. Think about Liam's personal dynamics with people in any of these roles.

Our second theme is based on another thing Liam is fond of - Coffee! Did you know that tea is Cordonia's national drink? Liam tells us this in the date scene in Book 1, but also maintains that he prefers coffee. It would be fun to explore this little-known fact about him!

Any content is welcome!! Just make sure your work centers Liam, and presents a positive depiction of him.

Eleanor's Kitchen

Books: The Royal Romance/Heir, Rules of Engagement

Pairing: Queen Eleanor & Prince Leo + Liam (mother-sons/siblings), Leo x Damien (mentioned in RoE) (romantic), Liam & Jason (OC) (platonic).

Rating: PG

Summary: Liam notices Leo's friendship with Damien, their gardener's eldest son, becoming stronger.

Note: Damien (not Nazario from PM!) has been mentioned in this scene in Rules of Engagement, Book 2. I played fast and loose with the timelines for this backstory, and have given Damien a younger brother who was Liam's age.

This chapter takes place almost a year following Ch 3. Liam is now 8 years old, Leo is 14.

Word Count: 3, 718 words

Tagging @kingliamappreciationweek for KLAW Day 4: Childhood, @aprilchallenge for the prompt "just want to be with you", @choicesholidays for National Sibling Appreciation Day (April 10th) and @choicesficwriterscreations for FoTW.

Chapter 4: Garídes Saganáki

(Photo from this recipe)

Liam greets the salt air that briefly kisses his face, and the sand that pools around his toes at the beach, with a sense of homecoming. This beach has felt as much like his home as the palace he was born in, suffused with memories of sandcastles and uniquely-shaped seashells and the rush of excitement that came every time a wave crashed against the shore.

And most of all, it feels like home for the moments long past. For the rare times both he and Leo did things together, back when Leo actually liked taking him along for things. When his talk was actually more talk and less eyerolling and "oh you're too young to understand". The love is still there, and so is the need to protect each other (especially against Father's acid remarks, usually aimed at Leo) - just...the companionship isn't, any longer.

1. What about this character inspired you to write this piece?

Definitely Liam's relationship with his elder brother, which was barely explored tbh. It was striking to me that in the TRH childhood flashbacks, the narrative was massively erasing Leo's presence even though he was legitimately considered the heir to the throne during that time period. Also, since the Capitol was situated near the sea, I wanted to explore their seafood, so I took inspiration from Greek seafood for the same!

Legacies

Book: The Royal Romance, Book 3

Pairing: None - mostly Liam and Hakim bonding, mentions of Hakim and Constantine's friendship

Rating: G

Word Count: 4, 813 words

Summary: In the aftermath of his father's death, Liam struggles with the lionizing of Constantine's rule, and wonders at the legacy he wants to leave behind. Answers emerge from an unlikely source.

Tagging @kingliamappreciationweek and @sazanes for KLAW Day 2: Historian theme, @choicesficwriterscreations for FoTW, and @aprilchallenge for the prompt "Garden".

Music: "Father to Son" by Queen.

Chapter 1: The Statues

(Faceclaims:

King Liam - Daniel Henney

Hakim Thorne: M’Barek Bouhchichi)

There is a gaping emptiness in Liam's chest, from the minute his father died right before his eyes. No overwhelming grief, no soul-ripping pain, not even anger. Just a void where a beating heart should be.

Father is lying in state now at the Queen Kendra Hall - not too far from Bossina Cathedral - where he will remain for the next twelve days. Liam almost hates himself for having far clearer memories of his father's cleaned, lavishly-decorated (in every medal he'd recieved since the age of 18) corpse, than of the moment he died - before reminding himself that at least with Father he remembers something. With Mum he doesn't even have that.

1. What about this character inspired you to create this piece?

Many different things - but the two most important were to truly acknowledge Liam's trauma esp post his father's death, and to respect his (and the Therons') ideology in a way canon never did. The canon narrative fawns over the overly militaristic-minded characters so much that they often throw others like Liam, Hana and the Theron family under the bus. I wanted to highlight the value of that kind of ideology through Liam in this chapter especially.

2. What was your process like?

Mostly linear, but there were several aspects where I needed to do a lot more research. Especially for funeral practices in the British Royal Family. This was written maybe a year after QEII's funeral, so I definitely borrowed a few elements from that - such as the Vigil of the Princes (and I modelled the Vigil of the Great Houses on the vigil her grandchildren were supposed to keep, I think).

We are now halfway through our Liam Appreciation Week! Loving the entries that are coming in, and can't wait to see what else you all have in store!

Day 3 of KLAW has two themes - both related to things Liam likes. Our first is Roses! Besides being a symbol of love and romance, they are also one of Liam's favourite flowers! We'd love to see how you incorporate that into your Liam content.

Our second theme is Monuments. Every Liam stan knows how deep his love for history and historical sites is - whether it is The Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, the pagodas of Hangzhou Lake, or even the ruins in Cordonia. In Liam's case, they hold a specific significance for him - they remind him that like his ancestors, his actions and ideals will leave behind a legacy. So we'd love to see all kinds of content that feature him and how he feels about monuments!

Any content is welcome!! Just make sure your work centers Liam, and presents a positive depiction of him. Fic, art, meta, headcanons, edits, icons, interactive media, even simple character appreciation posts!! We also accept WIPs, so if your piece isn’t entirely complete by the end of the week, fret not – you can still send us the WIPs!

The themes are simply inspirations. If you bring a piece for one of the days later, it’s entirely okay...just make sure you tag the posts with the day you meant it for! We will always be keeping a bonus week in case you couldn’t complete the piece during the week itself, so our official deadline for pieces will be Dec 1st!

We’d also like all of you to know that KLAW 2024 will be open ALL YEAR ROUND. So if you’re unable to finish a piece before Dec 1st, pls do send it whenever you’re ready to (and tag us!), and it will definitely be up on our masterlist!!

Be sure to do the following while making your posts!

1. Use the tags #kingliamappreciationweek and #KLAW in your posts. Make sure to tag the day as well (#KLAW Day 1, #KLAW Day 2, etc)

2. Tag @kingliamappreciationweek, @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes in your posts so we can keep track!
