January Created Works Round-Up!
Feb. 7th, 2026 09:29 am
Duck Prints Press’s monthly “created works round-ups” are our opportunity to spotlight some of the amazing work that people working with us have done that ISN’T linked to their work with Duck Prints Press. We include fanworks, outside publications, and anything else that creators feel like sharing with y’all. Inclusion is voluntary and includes anything that they decided “hey, I want to put this on the created work’s round-up!”
Visit our Created Works Round-Up Master Post to see all the works our creators have shared since September, 2022!
And check out what they’ve shared with us this month…

I Am Haunting Your House by Mindful Wrath
audio || original work || no ships || teen & up || no major warnings apply || 00:25:17 || complete
summary: I AM HAUNTING YOUR HOUSE is a dark alternative concept album with deeply layered vocal harmonies and a rich but restrained palette of instrumentation, Evanescence meets Will Wood, equal parts manic and dreamlike. It’s a ghost story. It’s a confessional. It’s screaming defiance at the people who want you dead while knowing you can’t outlive them all. I AM HAUNTING YOUR HOUSE is a story of grief, rage, hope, and exhaustion, dredged from my heart and sung with my whole chest.
Long, long ago, in the faraway land of Deimos… by EvilToTheCore13
fiction || warframe || m/m || loid/albrecht || teen & up || no major warnings apply || 12,376 || work in progress
summary: A cursed sorcerer-prince. A clever and brave servant who becomes a prisoner in the beast’s enchanted castle.
Nothing is ever quite so clear or quite so easy as it is in fairytales. Can love truly break a curse? And even if it can–will Albrecht Entrati ever accept it?

chapter 20 summary: Have fun playing in the snow
chapter 21 summary: In this episode of Mosaic Haiku, Eliot and Quentin reflect on the very first smoldering days of their friendship. These moments are both their past—and their future, somewhere, since they’ve time-traveled to the past of Fillory.
The events we see in Season 1, Episode 1, include some of their favorite moments from their first days together, and they reflect on these and remember them to one another over the years at the Mosaic. (Being armchair time-travelers has become a favorite pastime.)
Please note: The Tumblr post has the photoscenes from the show in place. The AO3 chapter has some of the art (there will be more added over time).

Mosaic Haiku (Art and Poetry), nine new paintings and a drawing by EliotQueliot
art || the magicians (lev grossman, syfy) || m/m || quentin coldwater/eliot waugh || general audiences || creator choses not to use warnings || work in progress
summary: Mosaic Haiku celebrates the lifetime of love between Eliot and Quentin that yielded the “key to greater magic” in “A Life in the Day.” For the Time Is an Illusion event held by Magicians Fanworks Extravaganza, I added nine paintings to Mosaic Haiku, in Chapters 5, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 on AO3 (specifics about which art are listed in the chapter notes). For links to the works of art as individual pieces, see @eliotqueliot on the creators list for the Time Is an Illusion event (the Tumblr link for this post) and click the titles of the artworks to see the individual Tumblr posts. Additionally, following the event, I added a drawing to Chapter 6. The Instagram link takes you to that drawing (with links in the post to the individual Tumblr post).

The First Duty of All Magicians Is to Save Their Friends, Chapter 7: Soulmate Cards by EliotQueliot
The First Duty of All Magicians Is to Save Their Friends, Chapter 8: Soulmate Cards (Part 2) by EliotQueliot
The First Duty of All Magicians Is to Save Their Friends, Chapter 9: Striptease or Fashion Fight? (Or, Cats and Kittens) by EliotQueliot
fiction || the magicians (lev grossman, syfy) || m/m || quentin coldwater/eliot waugh || explicit || creator choses not to use warnings || 9,480 || work in progress
chapter 7 summary: In Quentin’s room, Eliot does his best to move the mission along (specifically: to bang one Quentin Coldwater). But he doesn’t want to hurt Quentin, and he actually has feelings for the boy that make him wish that other life Margo told him about could be real again. So the route proves more circuitous than one might expect from one Eliot Waugh.
chapter 8 summary: Eliot and Quentin choose to talk this time, and things go better. Part of that may be due to Eliot realizing how important it is to share his feelings… …and to a tiny, beautiful magic that lives in Quentin now. The magic which made the soulmate cards…
chapter 9 summary: Eliot’s mission: seduce one Quentin Coldwater to save his life. But really, who’s seducing whom?

chapter 13 summary: Quentin meets Quentin. Eliot confronts his truth.
chapter 14 summary: Eliot and Mosaic Quentin both need time to rest and reunite before returning to the quest to save Quentin 40. Of course, coming up with a new plan means reviewing a painful past.
