Katara tried to imagine a world in which Yue didn’t have to marry Sokka because their fathers had agreed on it. That world didn’t – and couldn’t – exist, so she next tried to imagine a world in which she had the courage to stop the marriage. And who would step into Sokka’s place to bridge the Northern and Southern Water Tribes through marriage? She couldn’t marry the princess. The idea alone was absurd.

However, the look on Enjin’s face somewhat reminded Zanka of an eager golden retriever and he found himself struggling to say no.

Molly wakes up with a screeching headache. The world splits in half, bloody and ragged. Eyes stare through him, out of him, and space itself blinks. He has no idea where he is , but the cobblestone is reassuringly cold, and the vague smell of piss and stale ale tells him some things never change.

Podfic of 'Forever After or In a Kardassi’or Minute' by BardicRaven
🌟 🌟 🌟
Forever after, life was divided into two parts – before and after. Before, there was life and love. There were hazel eyes that looked lovingly on. There was the joy of an enjoinment, the pride in his partner, the hope that maybe, just maybe, just once, he could have something he desired, bone-deep.
He should have known better.

Work Reveals!

2026-08-16T02:06:50Z

Posted by: lbdmod

Works have been revealed for Little Black Dress 2026! (Click here for a link to the collection!)

If you completed your assignment and you have not received a gift, or if your gift is incomplete, doesn't match your request, or doesn't abide by your DNWs, please reach out to me as soon as possible at littleblackdressex@gmail.com.

The prompt meme LBD Madness (click here) has closed for prompting, but works for prompts may still be posted to either the prompt collection and/or the main collection!

Works will remain anonymous for one week, and creators will be revealed at 10:00PM EDT August 22nd.

Reading lists will begin going up on August 18th, see the previous post for information!

Please enjoy the collection, and thank you to all our creators, betas, cheerleaders and pinch hitters!

Reminders! (7 hours to go!)

2026-08-15T18:39:20Z

Posted by: lbdmod

Reveals Reminder!

Reveals are happening this evening, in just over 7 hours at August 15th at 10:00PM EDT (countdown)! Remember to finish up any edits and update any placeholder titles before reveals!

The collection will be closing an hour before reveals to hopefully avoid any reveals bugs. The collection will reopen for posting after reveals but will remain moderated until creator reveals (I'll try to accept any late treats quickly, but this does mean that that for treats posted after reveals there will likely be a period of time where they're visible but not yet accepted into the exchange collection).

Anonymous Glitch Warning

This year other mods have reported a bug/glitch where when they reveal works, the collection will also reveal creators early without them adjusting that setting. This is not a common glitch, but we're going to prepare as though it will happen while hoping it won't.

If the glitch does happen I will re-anonymize everything as quickly as possible, but it must be done manually one by one so it isn't instant. If being temporarily or permanently anonymous is important to you, please put your work into an anonymous collection prior to reveals!

Reading Lists

"Reading Lists" worked well last year so we're going to be doing them again this year from Tuesday August 18th to Friday August 21st! These are intended as an alternative way to browse the collection, spread out over several days with all the works in the exchange included*. The lists will include title, summary, and tag information for each work as it appears on AO3 after reveals (likely on monday). If any late treats are posted during the anonymous period I'll also do a roundup of those at the end!

For this year we're going to again split the reading lists by AO3's top level categories like "Anime & Manga" or "Video Games", and then by medium of the gift within those categories, and then by length if we need to split anything further.

I may take some liberties with the categories to do things like make up some categories for "Other Media" or split Cartoons out from Comics, but I won't know for sure until I'm sitting down with the final works list and their tagged fandoms. Overall the categories will be set based on what fandoms are tagged on each work and how AO3 categorizes them, or my best guess at where they should be if they're Uncategorized or multi-category.

*I'm aware that sometimes creators prefer to opt out of being included in these sorts of lists! If you would prefer your works not be included in the reading lists please reply to this post (screening is on) letting me know your AO3 name and which work(s) of yours you'd like excluded.

Extensions

In the event you can't make the deadline but could make a slightly further out deadline, you may request an extension to August 12th at 10:00pm EDT. You can use one of the two following forms to do so! They ask for your and your recipient's AO3 names, and have you acknowledge a couple of basic rules (1: That you only request if you are reasonably certain an extension will allow you to finish, and 2: that if you no-show default on an extension you won't be able to request one the following year).

The two forms are identical except that the email version asks for an email to send you a copy of your submitted request.

Extension Form: https://forms.gle/hT2q8mHfmw72Cs6EA
Extension Form (email option): https://forms.gle/kBystCf2T3uDEsSH9

If don't want to use a form, please comment on this post (screening is on) with your AO3 name, your recipient's AO3 name, and an acknowledgement of the two extension rules above. Make sure to clearly indicate you are requesting an extension, as this is also where PH claims will happen. You may only request extensions to August 12th at 10:00pm EDT. Please do not include an explanation of why you need an extension, everyone is currently eligible.

All extensions must be requested before the deadline of August 8th at 10:00PM EDT!

Nominations are Open!

2026-06-20T03:09:52Z

Posted by: lbdmod

Nominations for Little Black Dress 2026 are now officially open! Please read the guidelines below, even if you regularly participate in exchanges.

1. All characters must be disambiguated, even if they wouldn't usually need to be. Disambiguation means putting the fandom name in parentheses next to the character e.g. Marta Cabrera (Knives Out). It's very possible several characters will be nominated in several different canon iterations, so please disambiguate as specifically as possible or characters will go wandering. If you nominate Leia Organa in Star Wars—All Media Types, disambiguate with (SW—AMT) and not just (Star Wars).

2. For big sprawling canons, make sure you only nominate All Media Types if you are truly requesting that character within any media type. Note that you cannot DNW a subset of canon. For instance, if you would like Leia paired with any character in any Star Wars media except for the video games, you cannot request her in Star Wars—All Media Types and DNW video game pairings. You can, however, request her in the Original Trilogy and then opt-in for crossovers in any Star Wars media except for video games. If in doubt, nominate your character in a smaller piece of your canon and opt-in to the larger one.

3. As a general note, please bear in mind that the fandom you nominate a character under will determine the available set of characters to ship them with, so consider this carefully.

4. Participants may nominate 1-10 characters in 1-10 fandoms.

( More specific fandom and character guidelines )

( Crossover guidelines )

Since multiple versions of canons are in the tagset, you may run into a case where synning changes the fandom you nominate without allowing you to edit or otherwise locks up your nominations page! If this happens please let me know and I will be able to help you get your nominations submitted with the intended fandom tag.

The 2026 Tagset can be found here. Nominations will remain open for one week, until 10:00PM EDT June 26 2026 (click here for a countdown). They will then close for cleanup and re-open until the end of signups.

If you notice something that needs fixed in the tagset, including incorrect tags or wandering tags, please let me know here or on any query posts! Nomination queries will be posted here at the comm, so please check back if your nominations haven't been accepted.

Happy nomming!

The Baker heard his wife's voice, encouraging and warm where in life it had been so often practical and determined. But he had begged for advice from her, from anyone, and now he had it. He rocked their crying baby in his arms, as his wife's memory directed him to tell their child the story of his mother. The Baker did so, sure that he would have to be the child's father and mother all in one.

“I had a dream,” Jon says into the air. Not to her. Just to the air.
The ghost's gaze does not flicker towards him. She’s good at ignoring him too, and he wonders — not for the first time — why she chose him. She didn’t come with the flat, certainly.
His dreams have taken on new dimensions as of late. Nightmares about the exercises in fiction they receive from bored Londoners. Faces he’s never seen. A terrible hunger coiling low in his gut and behind his eyes.
And the ghosts among them.

Super engineer Rose Tico has been going through it lately. Her job developing cutting-edge tech for superheroes is as stressful as ever. Her boyfriend only recently (and very publicly) dumped her. Now, the world's worst supervillain has decided to take her prisoner while he launches his latest doomsday device.
But the Son of Darkness - aka Kylo Ren, aka Ben Solo, aka the guy who used to date the woman Rose's ex left her for - turns out to be not quite what she expected from a professional evildoer. As her captivity stretches on, Rose starts to question the hero/villain binary she always took for granted. Maybe she and her captor have more in common than their failed relationships. Maybe there's only one way to find out.

“First time at one of these, huh?”
Thomas startles at the unexpected sound of a soft voice coming from the opposite corner of the room, and he suppresses a curse, annoyed at his own carelessness. So relieved he was to find a quiet spot in a corner of this sprawling mansion, away from the crowds mingling downstairs, he managed to miss the fact that the heavy armchair by the window was already occupied, despite the telltale scent of tobacco that should have tipped him off to the presence of another guest.

So he seduces him…for intel, but finds himself tangled in something he was too afraid to ever name.
Over a hundred years later, long after betrayal, they find each other again and realize that maybe what they’d hidden for so long was never an illusion to begin with.

Tenya wraps an arm around his waist, burying his other hand in Katsuki’s hair, and hums appreciation against his lips before finally saying, “It seemed like you had a hard day. I just wanted to make it a little better.”
“You did,” Katsuki tells him fervently, grinning wickedly as he finally drops flat on his feet again. “You really, really did. Lemme go, I’ve got dinner to make so you can woo the shit out of me after.”
He didn't expect loving Bakugo to be as easy as it is.

The prompt meme LBD Madness (click here) has closed for prompting, but works for prompts may still be posted to the main collection!

Reveals Reminders! (Less than 24 hours to go!)

2025-08-23T06:43:24Z

Posted by: lbdmod

Reveals Reminder!

The exchange is on track to reveal on August 23rd at 11:59PM EDT (countdown)! Remember to finish up any edits and update any placeholder titles before reveals!

The collection will be closing an hour before reveals to hopefully avoid any reveals bugs. The collection will reopen for posting after reveals but will remain moderated until creator reveals (I'll try to accept any late treats quickly, but this does mean that that for treats posted after reveals there will likely be a period of time where they're visible but not yet accepted into the exchange collection).

Reading Lists

This year we're going to do something called "Reading Lists" from August 26th to August 29th! These are intended as an alternative way to browse the collection, spread out over several days with all the works in the exchange included*. The lists will include title, summary, and tag information for each work as it appears on AO3 after reveals. If any late treats are posted during the anonymous period I'll also do a roundup of those at the end!

For this year we're going to stay simple and split the reading lists by AO3's top level categories like "Anime & Manga" or "Video Games", and then by medium of the gift within those categories.

I may take some liberties with the categories to do things like make up some categories for "Other Media" or split Cartoons out from Comics, but I won't know for sure until I'm sitting down with the final works list and their tagged fandoms. Overall the categories will be set based on what fandoms are tagged on each work and how AO3 categorizes them, or my best guess at where they should be if they're Uncategorized or multi-category.

*I'm aware that sometimes creators prefer to opt out of being included in these sorts of lists! If you would prefer your works not be included in the reading lists please reply to this post (screening is on) letting me know your AO3 name and which work(s) of yours you'd like excluded.
