Rating: PG
Character: Ricardo Tubbs
Summary: Rico faces some devastating realizations over the course of being Sonny's partner

Three Miami Vice ficlets written for [community profile] threesentenceficathon 


Note: # 3 is rated PG for suggestiveness. All are Sonny/Rico


1. Prompt, tea makes everything better


The Art of Tea and Preventable Heartbreak


“Try it,” Rico cajoled the exhausted man who was sprawled on his couch, leaking pain out of his pores after yet another failed relationship; one day, hopefully, he would figure out what Rico already knew.

Sonny peered skeptically into the mug of chamomile tea that was handed to him, but shrugged and chugged it down, obviously too weary and heartsick to argue.

Ten minutes later, Rico was spreading a blanket over his slumbering partner and resisting the urge to kiss his forehead.

MASH ficlet: It Helps, Though

[personal profile] mxcatmoon
Written for  [community profile] threesentenceficathon , for the prompt, MASH (TV), Hawkeye & Trapper, You don’t have to be crazy to work here. We’ll train you.
Title: It Helps, Though
Fandom: MASH
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: Teen
Characters: Hawkeye, Trapper, Frank, Radar, OC
Words: 178
Summary: The newest doctor to join the 4077th, gets quite an eye-opening introduction to the insanity.



IT HELPS, THOUGH


The first real introduction to the 4077th that newly assigned Captain Drew Weatherly experienced had been an eye-opener, when, in the course of showing him around, Corporal O’Reilly (apparently nicknamed ‘Radar’) had led him to a tent with a sign that read ‘The Swamp,’ and opened the door to a scene Drew was completely unprepared for; a man was sitting on one of the cots with a bedpan on his head, wrapped in a straightjacket, and connected to the cot with a dog leash, while two others sat on cots opposite, sipping from what looked like martini glasses… yeah, there were definitely olives in them.

Drew must have made some kind of startled noise without realizing it, because the curly-headed one spoke up, “That’ll be the last time Frank breaks our still,” he proclaimed, and the two men nodded exaggeratedly at each other.

“Not to worry, we have the training manual around here somewhere,” the dark-haired man said, riffling through a stack of nudie magazines on a rickety table, “You’ll be one of us in no time.”

New type of spam?

 Here's a new one on me: Has anyone ever gotten gibberish as a spam comment on AO3?

It was a huge block of text that looked like this: 

.'smylxL2P>sS5j=RIE]ScX-7DR&V\FU?[79jO94@\f!IB:w[3"aJv%J:}pIRO$q=K `q4Bv_ C6=q%OD-8MY^(;|EHNh3bS7C3e#gf}IsNZ(ETXFlS'V4ZipY|rr^2_kVqs]?ty4a8

It was from a guest. Yes, I have guest comments turned on for most of my works, I get so little engagement with my work that I'm not going to turn it off unless I have to, heck I've only gotten a couple of spam comments in all the time I've been on AO3.

I marked it as Spam and moved on, but I've never seen it before. What's the point of this one?


3 Sentence Ficathon fill: Miami Vice

mxcatmoon: Miami Vice by Tarlanx (MV 01)
[personal profile] mxcatmoon
Here is one of the fills I wrote for [community profile] threesentenceficathon. It got such a lovely response, I decided to share it here first, although I'll be posting more later. 

For the prompt: any, any, "Strange, the way it felt like home – to wander through the dark, alone."


DARK AND LIGHT

The night was a familiar companion, dark and comforting, like the only home he’d ever known, but at the same time empty and cold now that he’d let the only light in his life walk away.

Sleep was elusive as always, fractured by nightmares of the worst times and taunting visions of what might have been, still, the 3:00 am knock at the door was as startling as a gunshot… especially since he felt who was on the other side with every fiber of his being.

When Sonny opened the door, Rico stood there with a bag slung over one shoulder and a sheepish but hopeful expression on his face; underneath that, though, was the echo of the same desperation, loneliness, and love that had swamped Sonny ever since they’d said goodbye… he let the light in.

Miami Vice fic - One Way Out

Jan. 20th, 2026 12:40 pm
mxcatmoon: Crockett/Tubbs (MV: 07)
[personal profile] mxcatmoon
Written for [community profile] smallfandomfest prompt, ' An undercover assignment gone wrong,' from 2013
Title: One Way Out
Author: Cat Moon
Fandom: Miami Vice (tv)
Pairing/Characters: Sonny/Rico, OC
Rating/Category: R/Slash
Summary: An undercover deal goes bad, leaving Rico and Sonny only one choice: protect each other. They’re partners, it’s what they do. Sometimes, that gets out of hand and goes way over the top. The repercussions of this one will change their partnership forever.
Notes/Warnings: Inspired by the scene in the ep, "Smuggler's Blues," where Rico gets frisked and Sonny's interesting reaction to that. SA is mentioned but does not occur.
Word Count: 3848

Challenge #10: Big Mood (Board)
 
CHOOSE SOMETHING YOU LOVE AND CREATE A MINI MOOD COLLECTION OF THREE (or more) ITEMS THAT EVOKE YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT IT. You don’t have to limit yourself to visual media, or collect the items into a special format like a square (though you can if you’d like).

Baby's First Moodboards. Still have to get the hang of it, I'm afraid... When I have more time.

In my head canon (and the fic series I'm working on), Sonny and Rico will be dressed similar to this at their ceremony, with Rico in a white tux w/black accents and Sonny in a black tux w/white accents. Also, the quote is from the show, after yet another bad romance, Sonny tells Rico he wishes he could get his head and heart together, just once...
Miami Wedding Mood
This is a quote from Rico in the series, spelling his name: Tough, unique, bad, bold, and sassy. 😍 Also, check out the eyelashes on the top right photo.  I always say, oughta be illegal! 😉

Challenge #9

Talk about your favorite tropes in media or transformative works. (Feel free to substitute in theme/motif/cliche if "trope" doesn't resonate with you.)

I've been thinking about it and I have to say that my #1 trope is AU - Canon Divergent. But I don't think of it that way because I don't really consider it to be a trope (for that matter, I don't consider it to be an AU). It's taking canon and altering it somehow, which I think the majority of fanfic does, as long as it's not set exactly in canon with no changes. Or am I not grasping the meaning quite right?

I did a Tiermaker chart and everything for last year's Snowflake, so I'm just going to link to that post here: Favorite Tropes 2025. My tastes haven't changed.

I'm already having a great time doing [community profile] threesentenceficathon. Pimping my guys, mostly, I admit. 😉

I'm almost finished with my fic for [community profile] smallfandomfest . All it needs is the sex scene, so naturally I'm procrastinating. But guess what, it's the longest fic I've written since 2019! Looks like I might be finally going to start writing some longer stuff again. Amazing what an extra dose of inspiration can do...

HELP! I just don't know... I've always posted my drabbles to AO3 as 'chapters' in a drabble collection... Some people think that's "cheating". I'm thinking of posting them separately now -- but honestly, to me that feels like 'padding' my story count. I'm so undecided.

Snowflake Challenge 2026 #5 Wish List

Jan. 16th, 2026 12:45 am

[personal profile] mxcatmoon
Challenge #5

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.


It's never a comfortable task, but I've gotten better at it with practice.

1. If you do any remote energy work, Reiki, etc., I could use some sent my way. I hurt my ribs on Sunday (left side), and it's actually hurting worse now than it was. Might have been the fact that I did quite a bit of walking yesterday. I didn’t think walking would make it worse, but I might have been wrong.

2. Yeah, I don’t have any expectations for this one, but if anyone has ever thought about writing a Miami Vice fic… (preferably Sonny/Rico). Or art, or songvid. It’s hard being in such a tiny fandom with so little content.

3.  How about a bit of self-promotion? Check out my community, [community profile] vocab_drabbles It's a weekly prompt comm using mostly college-level and rarer words as inspiration. It's not just for drabbles anymore, as it grew beyond that quickly, but I haven't changed the name because I didn't want to confuse people (although it's a decision I've been contemplating) -- and Vocab Drabbles does have a ring to it. There are no deadlines, and we currently have fics in 115 different fandoms.
