Lucifuge5 is a fan writer, fan artist, podficcer, reccer and moderator. She was formerly involved with the due South, c6d, Bandom, and MCU fandoms.

As of 2022, she changed her name to Glittery.

As a fan

Lucifuge5 started out as a baby fan during the original run of Xena where she was swept away by all of the not-so-subtext in the show. She also imprinted strongly on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

As a writer

Lucifuge5's first fic was for the Hard Core Logo fandom, in 2008, before moving to due South. Over the years, she's written some dS/C6D crossovers, notably with Slings & Arrows and Durham County. She's also written a handful of Canadian RPF stories. In 2010, she heard the siren call of Bandom. She is unashamedly fond of werewolves.

A good portion of her stories have some element of kink in them, as well as domesticity. She likes stories where the kink is just an every day normal part of life. She's also very interested in fanworks involving female characters, and is a big fan of femmeslash. She is totally capable of writing canon-compliant stories, but she really loves to create unique settings for her stories and that's really where her creativity and imagination shine.

According to akamine_chan:

"Luce has a wide-range of styles from serious to dark to sexy to wacky, and she's still trying out her writing wings in a lot of ways, exploring her skills in a variety of genres with a variety of characters. Nothing seems to be too over-the-top for her and she has a true talent for making the most wacky and/or loopy premise work when it really, really shouldn't. One of the best things about Luce is her amazing creativity. She generates plot bunnies like...something that generates plot bunnies and they amaze and dazzle with their originality."

due South and C6D writing

Lucifuge5 started out writing primarily Fraser/Kowalski, but it wasn't long before she was writing gen and Fraser/Kowalski/Turnbull, as well as Frannie-centric stories. She had a special place in her heart for Frannie stories.

Notable works:

• Dramatis Personae (due South x Slings & Arrows, Fraser/Kowalski, PG13) - Someone is trying to killed Geoffrey Tennant, the artistic director of the New Burbage Shakespeare Festival, and Fraser goes undercover to find the culprit before it's too late.
• You Zig and Then You Zag (Fraser/Kowalski, R) - An amazing secret-agent AU. Fast paced and funny and matter-of-fact, it's got a wonderfully different but still clear Ray-voice that is wonderful.
• Hinky Cute (Fraser/Kowalski/Turnbull, PG) - A sweet and fluffy kinky-morning-after-domestic fic, where Turnbull gets out of bed early to cook something up for his boys.
• Illinois Run (Frannie/Welsh, G) - Frannie-centric Space Opera AU!

Bandom writing

Beginning in 2011, Lucifuge5 wrote almost exclusively about My Chemical Romance, though she did occasionally borrowed characters from other bands for her stories, which often featured a large cast of characters. She favored Frank/Mikey, but she also enjoyed creating fanworks for Ray/Gerard and Frank/Jamia/Gerard.

Notable works:

• Food of Love (Frank/Mikey, PG13) - A bakery AU, with horror-themed baked goods that hold true to MCR's early gothic vampire aesthetic. Sweet and funny and light.
• Cuddles, Inc. (Frank/Mikey, PG13) - A story in which Frank gets sick. Again. It's warm and cozy and domestic, filled with love.
• All the Broken Pieces (Keep Cool, Stay Tough) (Frank/Mike, Explicit) - an AU where MCR never happened, and Frank has to deal with some severe challenges in his life. This is one of the bravest stories every written, because it tackles the difficult subject of disability without waving a magic wand at the end.

MCU fanworks

By 2015, Lucifuge5 began posting fanworks in the MCU fandom. The majority of them focused on Sam/Bucky. Occasionally, she created Sam/Steve, Steve/Bucky, and Steve/Loki-centric fanworks as well.

Notable works:

• It's Kinda Aerodynamic (Sam/Bucky, PG) - A 5+1 story centered around kissing.
• The Great Trash Panda Adventure (Falcon remix) (Sam/Bucky, PG) - an AU in which Bucky ends up shapeshifting into a raccoon and Sam has to take care of him. Very cute.)
• Winter Wonderland (with a side of snuggles) (Sam/Steve, PG) - A quiet and cozy slice of life ficlet with lots of domestic vibes.

K-pop fanworks

Her deep dive into K-pop, spearheaded by her interest in BTS, began in 2020. Since then, she has posted fanworks for a variety of BTS ships.

Notable works:

• [Podfic of] Wake Your Sleeping Youth (Seokjin/Jungkook, Explicit) - a kinky fic about consensual somnophilia
• [Podfic of] shudder (Jungkook/Hobi, Explicit) - a roommates-with-benefits story in which Jungkook turns out to not being entirely human

Writing in other fandoms

Lucifuge5 has several fanworks in other fandoms, including Fight Club, Veronica Mars, and Revenge.

Notable works:

• So, When Do I Get My Pony? (Narrator/Tyler Durden, Explicit).

As a podficcer

Lucifuge5 has recorded a number of stories she's enjoyed, as well as participated in collaborative projects like pod_together. Her best quality as a performer is the emotion she brings to her recordings; she's excellent at conveying the humorous or dramatic parts of a story. She also doesn't shy away from reading explicit scenes.

Notable works:

• The Way Your Eyes Look Into Me - (Fun Ghoul/Various, Explicit) - A five times story.
• Hold Me In Your Arms - (Lindsey/Jamia/Alicia, PG13) - Urban fantasy rad girls AU.
• When The Sky Falls Down - (Frank/Jamia, Explicit) - Pegging.
• Ready (Steady) - (Steve/Bucky, Explicit) - Kink exploration

As an fan artist

Lucifuge5 usually makes covers for her mixes and podfics. On occasion, she's created digital artwork for challenges such as the Bandom Big Bang.

Notable works:

• Art for "Moth to Flame, (or Whatever)" - digital art for Bandom Big Bang.
• Darwin Doesn't Have Anything on Us - fanmix.
