Iāve been tagged by frequent partner in headcanons @sophiainspace for the Last Huzzah To This Hyperfixation fic meme, which is appropriate as I am also likely giving a last huzzah to the Arrowverse! (Incredibly reluctantly, kicking and screaming against my brain all the way, but what can you do)
My first fic for this fandom was Your Move, on 30 November 2019, an incredibly creepy prelude-to-Eowells/Hartley that set the stage for many of my later works
My favorite fic Iāve written isā¦oh so many choices. The one I go back and reread most often is If You Wanna Fight (We Can Go All Night), which is playful smutty Coldwaveāwith an honorable mention to With Benefits, in which aro Len and ace Mick end up doing affection at cross purposes
My fluffiest fic is probably Day In, which is a Flashpiper domestic fluff interlude in the middle of a fairly angsty seriesāI can throw in rest-point fluff sometimes!
My funniest fic is, hands down, Floordrobe Malfunction, which is exactly what it sounds like: Lisa/Cisco/Hartley get caught in the middle of V-polyam shenanigans and end up switching clothes
My saddest fic is Worse When Itās Late, one of only two fics I went into the knowing they couldnāt have a happy ending. (The other is At All Costs, which is just about as bad)
A fic I almost didnāt post was Worse When Itās Late, just because it was so much darker than my usual fare. Iām proud of how it turned out but I was terrified of how people might react to it
The fic I most enjoyed writing is probably still Tam Len, because I loved the worldbuilding and the characters ended up taking on a life of their own, to the point that several plotty things justā¦resolved themselves in the end, entirely driven by the characters!
My favorite ship isā¦oh boy. I have loved so many ships in my time in this fandom. Coldwave maybe? Whatās not to love about Coldwaveātheyāre queerplatonic partners in crime who would rather die than admit a Feeling. I adore them
My favorite femslash ship is probably something with Nora West-Allen? Nora/Spencer maybeā¦or Nora/Spencer/Jossāall of whom I wish Iād written more of (and had more plans for, before the muse forsook me!)
My favorite OT3 is Coldwestallen, because no matter which way you slice it somebody is getting ganged up on by two people who are too similar for anyoneās good, and the resulting dynamics are impeccable
My favorite non-romantic pairing isā¦well. If I wanted to rules-lawyer this, Iād say Coldwave, because the aro Len headcanon remains strong. However in the spirit of the question Iām gonna say Barry and his dads, both as they interact with each other and as they interact with Barryās partners about him. There were a lot of meaty, messy dynamics there that I wish I had explored more (and that I had plans to, before the muse evaporated)
My favorite character to write is Leonard Snart, by a long shot. I vibe with his strange strange brain. He taught me so much in my time writing him. I still want to study him under a microscope. Iām going to hold onto him for a long time even if the hyperfixation is fading
My favorite neurodiversity fic (I love that this is a category, Soph) is Pride In The Little Things, with post-diagnosis feels. Itās rueful, because I think thereās often an element of that following a diagnosis, but itās hopeful too
The fic I most clearly remember writing is Complication, a Coldflash-to-Coldwestallen fic that was meant to have more to it and got cut down for the sake of making a deadline. Iām pleased with how it turned out, but thereās another universe where it was a much messier slow burn
My favorite written-out-of-spite fic is Unplanned, in which I took out my frustrations with the āMickās head pregnancyā plotline of Legends s6 (feat. supportive Gideon who understands what dysphoria is)
My most read fic is No Hero (No Less Loved), one of my older Coldflash ficsāone Iām not overly attached to, in truth, but benefitted from being a popular pairing and having a lot of chapters to add to the hit count
My least read fic is Pride In The Little Things, my newest fic with a very rare pair indeed (Lita/Jerrie Rathaway, my and @blueelvewithwings lil ship). I didnāt expect it to get many hits at all, so seeing it with even this much interaction is surprising
The WIP I most regret not finishing is an unpublished sequel to Complication that would have built off the ideas I cut from the original fic, including appearances by Joe and Henry, and also explained why Len was so weird all throughout Complication. I hope to force myself through finishing it eventually!
My favorite gen fic is Found, a Rogues-as-family fic that was meant to set the stage for more in-depth stories that never happened. It still stands on its own pretty well though
My crackiest fic is Critical Fail, a āTeam Flash plays D&Dā fic written at the behest of an IRL friend (who, to my knowledge, never ended up reading itāah well, it was still fun!)
And a bonus holiday fic is By Candlelight, with Coldwestallen celebrating both a contemplative Hanukkah and a rowdy West family Christmas
I believe my co-conspirator @blueelvewithwings has already been tagged, but Iām also going to tag @a-redharlequin who has been my instigator, cheerleader, and also partner, who I wouldnāt have found without this fandom. I love yāall and Iām so happy to have spent three years plotting together!
