Thank you to both you and @sharkneto who sent me this! Favourite five fics, you say? Kind of ironic seeing as all my fics are Five centric 😂 I've definitely come a long way since I first started writing, so some of these will have abysmal grammar and spelling, so apologies about that! I really should go back through them and sort those issues out.

Also, all of these were written before the news about Viktor! I've yet to change anything as I'm waiting to see how everything is handled in the show!

Youth After Five is attacked by the Sparrow Academy version of their dead brother, the Hargreeves are left no choice but to hide in the safety of a motel on the other side of the city. There, they learn some horrifying details of Five's past, and think about how different their lives could have been if they'd never been adopted by Reginald.

The Clockmaker's Son If they're going to make it across the border, they're going to need a miracle. Klaus knows this, and undertakes a risky manoeuvre to fix the damage to their airship sustained in the attack. And while successful, he pays the price, falling to what should have been his death on the outskirts of the city. Instead he wakes up eleven days later with a broken arm, in a strange farmhouse occupied by an equally strange child named Five and his eternally cheery mother, both of which people having secrets to keep.

Last Will and Testament The final moments of the Hargreeves, before their meeting with Death.

A Break in the Clouds The one in which Claire comes to visit and Five realises that he's not as bad with children as he initially thought.

But what if...She takes one look at them doing their superhero thing on tv and goes "hell no" and forcibly adopts them from him...

3. and because i know we’re all egocentric, have you ever made yourself laugh out loud or cry with a fic you wrote?

so as far as laughing goes, that’ll happen not during writing but when a funny idea first occurs to me and i’m like “oh that shit is hilarious i need to write that down asap,” and the first instance that comes to mind is in anmanl, when the guardians see loki as a frost giant after he used his ice to save them, and drax is like “but loki doesn’t have ice powers” and rocket’s like “uh? dude? did you not notice he’s a different species than the last time you saw him?” and drax goes “he looks exactly the same” hjhdfjhfjkfk i’m love him

23. Name a fic you’ve written that you’re especially fond of & explain why you like it.

asdfsgdSDFGDHF not tua but I’m very proud of to grow in adversity, my witcher fanfic! It’s by far the longest fic I’ve ever written sitting at around 74k words, not including the content I’ve written for the next chapters that hasn’t been published. I’ve really enjoyed writing it (barring one scene which is giving me trouble rip) and the responses I’ve got have been really lovely ;v;

Otherwise for tua, I would say probably little white lies, just because I had a lot of fun writing it and it was very self indulgent. You know those fics that start because you have one line that gets stuck in your head and you build around it? it was one of those lol

26. How do you come up with your fanfic titles?

asdfgADFSGH okay confession it’s usually something i do after having written the fic and it’s basically free association. a oneshot about five’s relationship with weapons/firearms? shot in the dark, because my brain was like ‘lol it references guns haha shot’. rude awakening? named that because the first thing that happens is five wakes up, and also the plot is about realizing the handler’s behavior is super creepy so it’s a nice double meaning. 

but genuinely pretty much all my titles are made up after i write the first chapter/the whole thing, and they’re almost an afterthought

45. What is your all time favourite fanfic?

hhhhhhhhhhhh I am an absolute sucker for Embers by vathara (an atla fic), honestly. It’s a fic I’ve read multiple times (which is a feat considering it sits at a hefty 704k words and 91 chapters).

Close runner up would probably be yesterday upon the stair by pitviperofdoom (a bnha fic) which I read as it was updating and was on the absolute edge of my seat the entire time. 10/10 loved every bit of it

Meanwhile me, in the corner, like some deranged goblin: yessssss

me, instinctively: no!!! don’t hurt him!!! has he not suffered enough!!!

Me, reading this: ...........WAIT
