Roundup: If I Fits I Fics exchange

[firecat]

ififitsifics is a gifting event for cat-themed fanworks. This is its third year. 52 works were created in 33 fandoms — a hefty increase from last year!

This is one of my favorite exchanges. You’re shocked, I know.

I wrote about Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. Someone left a basket of kittens at the police station!

I received two stories. One is a hot romance featuring cat shapeshifter Loki and Mobius from Loki TV (*squeee*!). The second is a gentle ghost story about a bookstore cat, which went with another story in the collection, so I feel like I got three gifts!
