And so it begins! The Skam Big Bang 23 sneak peek at the stories coming your way starts now! Read on for behind the scenes inspirations!

First up "Forty Love" written by @folerdetdufoler with art by @evakuality

FOLERDETDUFOLER: What inspired your story?

I'm a big fan of Roger Federer, and tennis in general, and thought it would be an interesting universe to bring Isak and Even into: the athleticism, the competition, the way the sport can require more heart than strength. i wanted to see if i could write an ode to Roger's legacy, and how that would evolve into one for Isak and Even as well.

EVAKUALITY: What inspires you about the story?

Even in the small section we saw at first, I loved the way the story just sucked me in. These characters are so vibrant and alive and recognisably themselves even in this quite distinct AU. The dialogue sparkles and I love the atmosphere created by the competitive tennis background. Plus, who can resist it when Even is described as 'Bechy with the good hair'?

The Skam Big Bang starts June 21st! Follow us for more sneak peeks and share!

And so it begins...

A 1000 words SKAM Secret Santa gift fic written for @mrsrobinson11 ✨🎄

Read it now on ao3.

Such a brilliant and hot gift! Thank you @lokkanel! I will cherish this!

A very happy birthday to @mrsrobinson11 🥳🎂🎉🇮🇹

A little birthday fanart celebrating Evak in Italy in honor of your fic Day Dreaming! It’s so lovely to imagine Isak and Even walking around St Mark’s square, standing on the Rialto Bridge, eating delicious food and taking a romantic gondola ride down the grand canal!

My lovely friend made this fan art for my Evak in Italy story, where they visit Verona, Venice, ride a Vespa, ride a gondola, skinny dip, go to the Peggy Guggenheim museum, go to Juliet’s balcony and, perhaps, there is a proposal.

Thank you, AM, this means so much to me!

Then: Isak and Even grow up together, find and lose each other. 

Now: Working in his parents’ restaurant on Streymoy, Even’s life isn’t quite what he thought it was going to be. Isak’s life in Aarhus isn’t either. Sana, who’s staying in touch with both, finds that she needs a house sitter for her cluttered little cottage by the sea.

                                    ********************* “Didn’t Sana tell you?” Isak, trying and failing to look innocent, used to be one of my favorite sights in the world. It made me giddy like few other things could. I don’t need a reminder of that.

 “I’m housesitting for her,” Isak continues, studying me like he’s trying to gauge my reaction. 

 I put the peeler down very carefully. “Sana didn’t tell me. You… should have. Told me.”

 “But,” Isak says, lifting his gaze to mine without rancor, “we don’t speak.”

Birthday collaboration for Ghostcat! Read on AO3 here with art by @peacestew ✨

A gift for the brightest, most wonderful and talented Starry, commissioned by the ever so lovely @sitp-recs for Starry’s fic Two Zinnias and the Scent of Lemon

Happy Birthday @the-starryknight you wonderful human!! ⭐️🎉 I hope you like this gift (and I hope I did that!!! scene!!! some justice lol) May you have a fabulous birthday surrounded with all the people you love <3

I also wanted to thank Liv who prompted me to read this fic because holy shit. Reading Two Zinnias was truly an experience and I came out after having read that fic utterly wrecked in ways that Starry could often make me with her wonderful writing. Illustrating it while this scene kept playing in my head was quite something and made me love the fic even more 😔❤️

My 2022 Skam Big Bang fic ‘this is our story written in color’ is now complete! And I’m excited to share the work of my collaborator @chioink who brought to life one of the sweetest Isak and Evens ever! She visualized a pivotal moment in this reimagined S3 AU of graffiti artist Even bringing back the color in Isak’s world through real-world street art and graffiti! Thank you Chio! So wonderful to work with such an amazing artist! 🤩😍👏👏👏 @chioink @skambigbang

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

After leaving his beloved, but mentally ill mother, a closeted and numb Isak is going through the motions. Even is the elusive street artist E tagging walls around Oslo with pride graffiti. Isak’s coming out is sparked by both the street art as well as Nissen’s newest student, not realizing just how connected they are. When crisis strikes and Even vanishes, Isak will cover every wall in Oslo with the words he wants to say to him. Anything to get him back.

This is the story of how Even colored Isak's world beautiful.

So proud of my friend @alterlove2021!

Read Boys of Summer, chapter 6 “Later” on ao3 ❤️

This story is delicious!

That sounds like poetry. Poems don’t always have to rhyme, you know. They’re just supposed to be creative.
