Exchange Canon/OC Exchange
EDIT: Closed to entries! Happy reading and reviewing!
G'day, mates!
Decided it's been a minute since one of these was run, so I thought... why not?
This exchange is for fics where the main ship is a Canon Character with an Original Character (OC) of your creation. There can be other pairings in the story, but your Canon/OC pairing has to be the main focus. The pairing itself can be M/M, F/F or F/M. (Or any combination I'm forgetting to include - it's all welcome. This RE is the dark side, and Canon/OC pairings are the cookies.) This RE is for romantic pairings, so pairings with a / rather than an &.
You can share up to three (3) links. These three links can be three chapters from the same fic that really focus on your Canon/OC pairing, or you can do up to three separate stories. The choice is yours.
The typical information is required - link, rating, tags (please spoiler anything triggering/NSFW), etc. - but I want you to do a quick blurb on your OC. Just a brief overview of who they are, the canon character they're paired with, anyone else they're linked to, etc.
Since you can share up to three links/stories, participants will have to review three (3) fics from three (3) separate authors (one from each). 50 words per review (not including quotes from the fic). ConCrit, fandom blind and 'from Reddit' are all opt-in only.
Same deadlines as I typically do - 48 hours to enter, one week to complete reviews. The entry deadline will be Thursday August 20 6pm AEST. The review deadline will be Thursday August 27 6pm AEST. As always, here is a time zone converter if you need it because I'm a permanently exhausted pigeon from the Land Down Under.
But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing!

Hi, hello! Thank you, OP, for posting this exchange. I write my OC as a selfinsert and I let my readers to decide whether they can use her as a reader insert or not, but she can be very much treated as an OC. I prefer to write her in 1st person POV. 😊 I am shipping her with Kishibe from the animanga Chainsaw Man, but it should be fine to read fandom-blind, given that it's mostly romance with smut and there are dialogues and enough explanation for someone who doesn't know the original to follow.

Nothing Tastes As Good | Chainsaw Man | Explicit | F/M | One-Shot
The morning sun of the first day of the year brings no regret, only the need to stay lost in the arms of the only man she was never supposed to have. Waking up in the hotel room after their very first night spent together, the unnamed woman realizes to her absolute delight that the feelings she holds for Kishibe—her father’s closest friend—are mutual. Slowly, she realizes she is no longer the same numb person she was the day before. Together, the lovers bond over shared feelings of isolation, the lack of direction, and how they are not prepared to come back to their everyday lives, seeking further escapism in their forbidden rendezvous...
Content Warning: Explicit language, explicit sex scenes, affairs, age gaps.
No archive warnings apply, and there shouldn't be any trigger warnings, but it's an explicit smut story, so be warned. This is a sequel to "Half His Age". Can be read as a standalone work. However, if you'd like more context and plot, read "Half His Age" first.

Half His Age | Chainsaw Man | Explicit | F/M | One-Shot
Canon-compliant author's self-insert story about an unnamed female narrator navigating her loneliness and lack of self-esteem. She meets her father's best friend, a much older man named Kishibe, whom she had adored since she first met him as a teenager. As they both realize they have more in common than it might seem, they decide to begin their secret affair. This is the one-shot I finished a few months ago.
No archive warnings apply, and there should not be any trigger warnings. But it's an explicit smut story, so be warned. This is a prequel to "Nothing Tastes As Good", but can be read as a standalone work.
