Canola’s Top 5 Fave Fics
If you’ve managed to find your way here despite my lack of appearing in the tumblr search and tags, congratulations! I futz around here most of the time, but I’m also a fic writer. If you wanna see all those fics, they’re up on AO3 (and I also sometimes post unpolished WIP Previews on my Dreamwidth, because I don’t trust tumblr with anything precious), but these are my top 5 personal favourites that I’ve written:
1. Chicago Noël - It’s the one I’ve spent the most time working on and am proudest of so far! If you like long slow burns, ace attorney AUs, romcoms and dramatic intrigue, you’ll probably like this one. It’s a mafia/baker historical noir AU where a high-ranking mafia member (Miles Edgeworth) meet-uglies a newly arrived baker (Phoenix Wright) and then gets mysteriously captivated while trying to figure out what the hell this random man is trying to hide.
2. Keeping All My Secrets Safe (Nobody Does It Better) - Smaller fandom with a not-as-well-known pairing, but you know what, if you like the basic premise of Bigfoot and an FBI agent falling in love in non-chronological order, you might like this one anyway. I find myself rereading this one often, since it’s a quick 25k.
3. Out of Order - It’s my most kudosed fic for a reason. ^^; Ace Attorney narumitsu fic in the canon universe that’s frankly just a bit silly, fun, and sweet. Basic premise: Miles gets a haircut and Nick loses his goddamn mind trying to cope with it.
4. Nearer to Thee - I’m a little proud of this one because I went very research-heavy with it to make it as historically accurate as possible (what else is new). It’s a Good Omens history fic wherein Aziraphale is on the Titanic and Crowley is on the Carpathia, and of course, Crowley makes it his mission to rescue him. To be honest, I never feel like I quite get their personalities exactly right, but! I think I did a better job on that front compared to my other GO fic lol so I still count it as a plus in my book.
5. Mark of the Addict - ehhh...well...To be quite honest, I don’t recommend most people read this one, primarily because it comes with a huge laundry list of trigger warnings and it’s the darkest fic I’ve ever written. All that said, I’m still proud of it, since in my opinion it’s still an entertaining horror novella; it’s just, if you do choose to read it, read all the tags and know what you’re getting into beforehand before deciding if it’s for you. It’s not gonna be for everyone, and that’s okay. But anyway, it’s a Dracula fic that’s based on a mixed canon of the Hammer movies and also the original novel.
