[cap_ironman_fe]

All the works have now been revealed. This year between the exchange and community gifts, we've received 111 fanworks! Big thank you to all the participants! The gifts will remain anonymous until January 6th.

Until then, it's time to GUESS THE CREATORS! Feel free to share your guesses and discuss your ideas in the comments on this post (anonymous comments are turned on), but if you took part, remember not to reveal your own gift.

ALL THE WORKS ON AO3 or all the reveals posts in our exchange tag.

The list of everyone signed up for the gift exchange is available in the collection profile, but remember it's not the exhaustive list of all the creators: some of the Comm Gifts authors and artists weren't signed up and some created more than one work!

Enjoy all the works, remember to comment, and have fun guessing!

Growing Old Together is by Cachette

♥

That's all I've got lol /facepalm

[(Anonymous)]

I second Growing Old Together by cachette, but also propose that Romance! [Art] is theirs
... except that He sees you, Steve, he's wearing glasses [Art] has the same format for the title and the end note, but it doesn't have cachette's distinctive style??? so maybe those last two aren't theirs, or maybe this third one is cachette in disguise and all 3 are theirs!

Any thoughts on that?

[dirigibleplumbing]

My guess is that Good to Have You Back is by Sineala, that's all I've got for now...

[(Anonymous)]

Seconded!

[(Anonymous)]

Dispel has art by faite in it, but I am so bad at guessing authors I won't even try!

[sheron]

Yeah I figured it's faite + one of the other mods, unless faite suddenly started writing? XD

[myellar]

I think Collapse is by IronLawyer, where good affections grow is by shell-heads, and Heartlines is by sheron. (These are probably all really wrong, but I couldn't resist guessing. Yes, a big factor into my guesses was the method of titling, fight me.)(This is nasafic by the way.)

[the_vorkosigan]

This Simple Feeling is by XtaticPearl. I'd wager my own head. (And probably lose it :D)

The others I', not so sure about, at all, but here goes:

Fervor - FestiveFerret
Heartlines - msermesth

Hopefully I'll be back with more (wrong) guesses :D

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, This Simple Feeling definitely feels likes XtaticPearl.

[elcorhamletlive]

I'm pretty sure Eventually is by Onani, and A Common Folly is by Royal Chandler.

Also, I'm not THAT sure, but I think Simple Truths is by Sheron.

[sheron]

You are really good at guessing!

[tonystarkier]

Apple Pie and A Blanket Burrito by Marumo

[sadisticsparkle]

Agreed!

Post guess

[(Anonymous)]

Apple Pie and Blanket Burrito are by Marumo

[marumo]

Hmmmm I think Crimson Kringle is by SmileAndASong and Gift From The Heart is by Neverever... that’s all I got :D

[(Anonymous)]

I second this!

[(Anonymous)]

I think Count to Ten is by Ironlawyer.

[xtaticpearl]

I'm gonna guess ishipallthings for This Simple Feeling!

[(Anonymous)]

Hmmm, so you're saying you disagree with the people who voted you for This Simple Feeling? :)

[cptxrogers]

I think Escape (https://archiveofourown.org/works/17127707) might be by Laireshi

[ishipallthings]

Here are my guesses for now!

Keeping a Close Eye is by Magicasen
Won't You Say Love is by xtaticpearl
Crimson Kringle is by adarksweetness
Operation Matchmaker is by Sineala
A Warmth Like No Other is by Neverever
And for my gift fic Why We Need to Talk... this is probably wrong, but I'm gonna guess vorkosigan? :)

[xtaticpearl]

Yes! Why We Need To Talk does look like vorkosigan's!

[dirigibleplumbing]

I think We Kill the Flame might be laireshi

[(Anonymous)]

Won't You Say Love can be by MusicalLuna

[xtaticpearl]

I second this, yes!

[(Anonymous)]

I think between the gates might be by nasafic?

[ishipallthings]

I second this!

[(Anonymous)]

I propose that Roadside (Captain) America is by salable_mystic (or a really good imitator?)

and apart from adding my thoughts abotu cachette's art, that's about me (I am Terrible at guessing ahaha)
~Lets_call_me_Lily

[missy_dee811]

I'd wager laireshi wrote Escape and I think Ironlawyer wrote A Love Song (The Way It's Meant to Be), which was my gift.

[(Anonymous)]

i think Truth Be Told is by nasa/nasafic!

[lou]

Look, I can't guess for shit, I just now that we've been spoiled as a fandom. AGAIN. So many great fics!

So I wanted to thank everyone - and the mods - because it's so great. And it's heartening to see people try and comment everywhere, I love you all.

But if I doooo try to guess:

You Don't Need To Surrender, Escape and Password required: Laireshi (she often writes lots!)
Where Good Affection Grows: Sineala
Birds of a Feather: Ishipallthings
Heartlines: Sheron
Younger and You Look Cute in That: One and five nines
At last: PjCole

And every guess I have for the_vorkosigan she has commented on: I THINK IT'S A TRICK!!! maybe Between the Gates?

[the_vorkosigan]

Yes, yes, I'm tricksy like that, going around, leaving comments all over the place :D

[(Anonymous)]

chances are i'm COMPLETELY wrong about most of these, but i'm sure blanket burrito and apple pie are by marumo, i think?? the golden avenger is by sineala, growing old together is by cachette, and roadside captain america is by salable mystic :) (this is shell-heads btw!!)

[badassgenius.livejournal.com]

This is kellebelle on AO3 and I have absolutely no idea who to even guess for my fic. I'd have to pull a name out of a hat.

[willidothefandango]

Okey I'm gonna throw a bunch of guesses and hope that at least one sticks haha.

Art

Red, Eventually, Younger : one and five nives
Growing Old Together: cachette
Synapses: shaliara

[fluffypanda]

I'm gonna second you about Synapses, Growing Old Together, and all the ones you said were by nines. You're probably right about the others too, but I honestly don't know.

[runningondreams]

I am far too out of touch with everyone's styles to guess right now, but it's so awesome to see so many fics! Awesome job everyone!
