Trick or Treat 2021
With this year's authors now revealed, I can say unreservedly that 
trickortreatex was fantastic this year. My bag was full. Not only did I got a delightful gift but three treats, all of which were very tasty morsels indeed.
From the date, my official gift must be "It's Not Easy Being a Superhero on Halloween" by
Silex. It's an Original Work written to the character/prompt, "Superpowered Character on Halloween Annoyed at Passersby Insisting Their Costume is Inaccurate". As Crimson Charger discovers, trying to stake out a convention full of cosplayers presents unexpected difficulties.
Until the last minute, I thought that this would be my only gift. However, when the collection opened, it turned out that I had three last-minute treats:
As for my own assignment: I wrote "Zari on Zari" for
cicerothecat, who had requested a story about Zari Tomaz & Zari Tarazi from Legends of Tomorrow. As these are two versions of the same character from different time lines, they can only appear alternately on board the Waverider, the other one being bound inside the jointly-owned air totem that gives them their powers. Rather than contrive a meeting in the totem!world, I decided to have each of them alternately spill opinions about the other. They are very different people-as one ought to expect, given their radically different life experiences.
The webpage for the story is now up on my site here. I went with the green background that I've been using for most of my Legends stories, and decided to snip out the air totem from a screencap to use as the divider between each character's comments. As it's red, I added some red tones to the frame around the story.

- "What's Possible" by
wherewolf is another Original Work, written for the character/prompt "Protective Sidekick to Superhero Losing his Powers". - "Acid Test" by
entwashian is a story about the Arrowverse Leonard Snart cheering up his sister, Lisa, when no one recognizes her costume. - "Trick or Treating" by
ChokolatteJedi is a M*A*S*H Halloween story.
