Hey everyone!

The mods would like to express our thanks to everyone who participated in Player Appreciation Week 2024! That includes everyone who read/viewed/commented/reblogged/offered kudos.

We will still be reblogging on Tumblr and accepting works into the Ao3 collection through the end of March as a grace period if you have additional works you’d like to finish up and add. Reminder to continue to add any pertinent trigger warnings and keep it completely romantic ship free if it is for this specific event.

For those who would like to read, the Ao3 collection can be found here. There are more works there than on this tumblr page!

This will be our sign off for this year. Look forward to January 2025 when we’ll gauge interest for Player Appreciation Week 2025.

See you then!

For @playerappreciationweek 2024. Day 7: Red. Part of my CS familiar AU series.

Trigger Warnings: canon typical violence against a cat (Player is the cat), car accidents

Summary: Player would do about anything for Carmen. However, he prefers it to be in his realm of knowledge - hacking, research, emotional support, and giving Carmen’s magic a boost with his own. Thats what a familiar does.

This caper calls for the skills of the whole team. Player is the only one available.

A Distance Measured in Time by DayenuRose

Summary: Though they are rarely in the same time zone, Player and Carmen have a friendship which spans the globe—literally. Or, 5 times Player and Carmen were in different time zones and one time they were in the same one.

Excerpt from Chapter 1 - Four Hours:

[Location Unknown] — 8pm Western European Time (UTC +0) Niagara Falls, Ontario — 4pm Eastern Daylight Time (UTC -4) Player fidgeted at the table as he filled out the answers on his homework. Technically all his school work was homework, but that didn’t make it less frustrating. He was pretty certain his usual level of diligence was slacking, but what could he do? It was taking most of his concentration to keep from checking his phone every point two-five seconds. His best friend always called around this time, but the recent change to Eastern Daylight Time meant the call he usually got at three would be coming in at four instead. An hour earlier, he’d forgotten about the time shift and had been distracted waiting for the call. At three he was in his room pretending to work diligently on his homework. Of course, that would be when his mom decided to check on him and was—well, let’s just say—less than satisfied with his progress. Thus resulting in the change of locations. Bother. He darted anxious eyes at his mom where she worked at her computer in the living room. She was just as focused on her work as he was supposed to be on his. Muffling the desire to exhale loudly, he returned his focus to his school work. This was his last assignment, then he’d be homework free for the next ten days. Pulling up the browser on his computer, Player began sorting through facts on Switzerland. He was suppose to put together a report for his French class on a different French speaking country. Then give a presentation, in French. Butterflies fluttered in his stomach at the thought of giving an oral report. What was he suppose to do? Just share facts about Switzerland? Well, when it put it that way, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. He could just pretend he was talking to—

For @playerappreciationweek 2024, alt prompt 3: Hacker

Trigger Warnings: none

Summary: The day started out normal for Player. He hacked into the security cameras in a museum in Vancouver at 2AM EST (11PM Vancouver time) so that Carmen could sneak in and steal an artifact before VILE could (they're a global criminal organization, this is important for later), and deleted the footage so that no one would ever know Carmen was there.

It ends abnormally, with Player having dinner with his parents, about to confess everything about his secret vigilante life to them.

For @playerappreciationweek 2024. Day 1: Codename

Trigger Warnings: sold at auction

Summary: Identity discovered, a VILE prisoner, and for the first time since he met her, Player has no idea where on earth Carmen is.

He psychs himself up as best he can for torture or interrogation, but nothing could have prepared him for the real battle to come. A man, that to Player, is more vile than VILE itself.
