Creators have been revealed! Go check things out and show these people some love if you haven’t already.

Also, huge thank you to everyone who participated, whether it was as a creator, through giving feedback, or spreading the word. You’ve all been great, and I had a lot of fun running this again! - @argylepiratewd

Common Thread by@argylepiratewdfor@toughbreaksand@sidhebeingbrand
“All right, Henry. What if I said I was actually a hundred forty-three years old—what would you do then?” Or, Henry learns his new love Isaac has more in common with him than originally thought.

The Family Secret by@avalonsilver for Ghost_Rider_of_the_Aragon
When Henry doesn’t wake up no matter what Abigail does to rouse him, concern gives way to alarm. It’s up to her to figure out what to do. And with an 11-year-old Abe not knowing about his dad’s immortality, Abigail needs to make a tough decision. Even if this isn’t how she or Henry ever wanted to tell him.

Fortification by@bearholdingasharkfor@kristilynn
Abigail comes home after a long day at work to find both her boys have been industrious while she was gone.

Ghosts and Christmas Past by@toughbreaksand@sidhebeingbrandfor@truthisademurelady
Abe loves Christmas in a secular family way, because of the memories. Henry, not so much. Also because of the memories.

In 2016 the first night of Hanukkah falls on Christmas Eve; Henry’s buying a Christmas gift for the first time in a long time, Abe’s considering miracles, and there’ll be a little healing and a little light in the dark.

I Will Love You Forever by@estherthewordartistfor@truthisademurelady
Two photo collages for Henry/Abigail.

New Year by@kristilynnfor@bearholdingashark
It’s New Years Eve and Henry has a surprise for Jo.

The Night Before Christmas by Ghost_Rider_of_the_Aragon for sonneta
When Henry and Jo are called away for a case on Christmas Eve, it’s up to Abe to keep his little brother distracted from his parents’ absence. Will little Abner have a Merry Christmas after all, even without his parents?

Paris by@superlc529for@midgard
“In my humble opinion, the single best thing to do in Paris is get lost.” - How did Henry come to that conclusion? By experiencing it, of course.

Refuge From the Cold by@argylepiratewdfor@avalonsilver
Having to share a bed with James on cold winter nights has Henry re-examining something he thought he knew about himself.

Shiver by sonetta for @andveryginger
Henry and Jo get trapped in the cold. Will Henry have to reveal his secret in order to save Jo?

The Sidekick by@manypastfrustrationsfor@estherthewordartist
‘It was five months and twelve days since Jo Martinez had appeared at Henry Morgan’s door with a photograph and a question, one which led in turn to a lot of other questions. It was five months and twelve days since she had learned of Henry Morgan’s immortality. And it was four months and twenty-seven days since she had been convinced it was true.’

In which Henry loses his scarf, Jo makes excuses, and Lucas has an identity crisis.

To Tango by@andverygingerfor@superlc529
After weathering a year that brought an end to Henry’s deceptions; revealed the truth of his immortality to Jo; and brought them back to friendship and beyond, our favorite detective and medical examiner look forward to the new year ahead.

Traditions by@truthisademureladyfor@argylepiratewd
For one night, Henry Morgan’s past and present meet in the form of a Regency costume ball, and it’s time to revive some old traditions, such as stealing away with the woman of your dreams before she retreats behind the barricades of chaperoned teas and social graces.

And now, a very special Forever Ficathon event:

The 2016 Forever Holiday Exchange

As the season of giving and the end of the year get closer, what better time is there to share our love for Forever with each other by giving gifts of fic or art?

SIGN-UPS CLOSE TOMORROW! If you want to sign up, now’s your chance!

Sign-ups will close TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 11:59 Eastern Time

How to Sign Up: Fill out the signup form on AO3 HERE

You will be able to edit your signup details until signups close.

You will be matched based on Characters, Additional Tags, Categories, Ratings, and Warnings. You are only guaranteed something that matches one of each of these (one requested character + one requested relationship category + etc).

ASSIGNMENTS SENT:    Depends on AO3’s match generation speed, unfortunately. Hopefully soon after signups close.

GIFT SUBMISSION DEADLINE:     WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 2017, 11:59 PM Eastern Time

WORKS REVEALED:     SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 2017

CREATORS REVEALED:     SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 2017

Topic: Anything goes. Your requests and works do not have to be holiday related. Do remember that you’re making a gift for someone else, though, and keep their preferences in mind.

Length: Unlike the regular ficathons, the minimum length for fic in this exchange is only 500 words. Anything over that is great, of course! Other creative fanworks are welcome as well - art, vids, fanmixes/playlists, gifsets, etc. For these, use your own judgment for size. All works need to be complete.

How Posting Works: Works posted to the AO3 collection will be revealed on January 7th, 2017, and a Tumblr post featuring links to each work will be made afterward. Between then and January 14th, the creators of each work will remain anonymous. Until “the big reveal,” you’ll need to keep quiet about what you’re working on - no sneak peeks, please!

What is a pinch-hitter? A pinch-hitter is someone who takes the place of a creator who drops out of the exchange.

How to sign up as a pinch-hitter: For this exchange, Pinch Hits will be posted on the @foreverficathon blog. To grab a pinch hit, contact us by email ([email protected]), and include your AO3 name in the email. Pinch hits will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

Other stuff: The collection will be posted on Archive of Our Own, so you’ll need an account. We can help you get one if you don’t have one.

FAQ is here.
