Feb. 3rd, 2025 02:56 pm
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!”
Check out what they’ve shared with us this month…

I Love You Heart and Mind by edupunkn00b (E.D. Punk)
fiction || sanders sides || m/m || logan/patton || general audiences || no major warnings apply || 4,283 || complete
summary: (Final chapter)
Patton and Logan, Morality and Logic, the Heart and the Mind, were just… well. Sometimes they were peanut butter and jelly, caramel and salt, dark chocolate and strawberries. Sometimes, they were a bit like oil and water. And then there were the times they were little more than gasoline and fire.
Still, there was no-one else in the Mindscape who held a bigger piece of Patton’s, well, heart. And his mind.
Logan knew his limitations. He knew the boundaries of his role and he knew what happened when his… demeanor crossed those boundaries. He knew how to handle it. What he didn’t know was how to handle his growing difficulty keeping it all under control.
Especially around Patton.
On a Butterfly’s Wing by edupunkn00b (E.D. Punk)
fiction || sanders sides || platonic or familial, m/m, f/m, poly (one gender: male), it’s complicated || logan/remus; logan/remus/janus; janus/remus; logan/kelly croft (oc) || mature || no major warnings apply || 2,448 || ongoing series
summary: (New chapter)
“As the system changes, the motion of the point represents the continuously changing variables. It traced a strange, distinctive shape of a butterfly’s wings.” – Chaos: The Making of a New Science by James Gleick
Fluctuations, even small ones, in a chaotic environment can make a outsized impact on a life: Arriving three minutes late to a student club fair. Never walking home alone after that party at Jack’s house. Trying a new goal planner that year.
Deciding to stay just a little longer to try and make the marriage work.
Universes collide in this story, as Logan Croft—and Logan Sanders—finds himself waking to a world that is not his own, stumbling down roads he might have taken throughout his life but for a few small changes.
What each man learns—and teaches—will change everything.

(One night in Nassau, with the crew of The Flying Fox.)

The Prince is Dead. You are the Dragon. by Nicola Kapron
fiction || original work || m/deliberately ungendered || mature || graphic depictions of violence, major character death || 9,149 || complete
summary: The prince is dead. His kingdom lies in ruins. All life in the country of Sothien has been extinguished to facilitate the rebirth of the dark dragon god known as Shura, ruler of death.
You are that dragon. And you are paralyzed with grief, for before you were revived, you were living a human life, and you fell in love with the prince.
