Look at me! I've finally jumped onto the list meme bandwagon!

Basically an assortment of characters I either kin to or just feel a great amount of comfort for. :3

Nothing bad should ever happen to them.

I did not make the original meme, but a reference link for it did not work. ;^;

Thank you for the tags, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe and @facewithoutheart. This is bound to be fun and difficult. How do you choose between your children? Well, I'm going to try.

AO3's Top Ten

Back To Start

Playing With Fire, Treading Thin Ice

A Fucked-Up Cinderella Story

A Real Doll

A Tale of Two Tails

Careful What You Wish For

The Watford Games

Gates of Ivory and Horn

More Than This

Some of these are high scored because they're older, and some because they were just popular in comparison. There's a lot of overlap between this list and my favorites, but there are some differences.

One thing I notice is that the fics that were 'gift fics' where they were written to a specific prompt, or Carry on Reverse Bang fics, written to art that was made before the fic, didn't make my top ten, probably because it feels like the creativity that built them wasn't wholly mine. I still love those fics, but just not quite as much.

Also, other than Raising Dragons, I didn't include WIPs, though they may become favorites when they are done. I'm especially fond of Saving Simon Snow, my forced marriage fic, which I think is getting close to finished. I'll probably start posting that one by April!

And the experience of writing was a huge factor in my choices below. Getting to collaborate with lovely people, or finding myself as a writer features in all or most of my favorites.

Here is my list of faves:

A Fucked-Up Cinderella Story. Ok, the butt plug joke is my favorite joke of anything I've written, Ok? Not to mention, this is the Erotic Gropefest collaboration where I first met and worked with my dear friend Fristi and learned what a joy it is to collaborate with a brilliant artist.

Back To Start: I've called this fic my baby, and it is. It's the first fic I wrote where I really felt like a competent writer, and you don't forget that feeling. I used a whole lot of my life experience in writing Baz as a baby and child too, so it's especially dear to me.

Careful What You Wish For: This was my second collaboration, and @ivelovedhimthroughworse Apricot is the sweetest, most supportive partner anyone could ask for. And this fic is my favorite type to read: angsty, science-y, plot heavy with loving smut.

The Watford Games: This was the first plot driven fic I ever wrote, and I'm proud of what I accomplished with it. And it's also another type of fic I love to read: AUs that put Simon and Baz in place of well-known characters.

The Blue and The Gray: Written for COTTA, this fic didn't make the AO3 top ten, and I think that's because the American Civil War is probably of lesser interest to non-Americans. But I love it, and I think it was the first fic that made me feel like a writer. You don't forget that.

Raising Dragons: Even though this is unfinished, I've had so much fun writing pregnancy and childhood shenanigans in the SnowBaz universe. Not to mention getting to work with Fristi again!

A Real Doll was from the Monster Under the Bed fest, my first non-COTTA fest. This is the first smut fic I ever wrote solely for the purpose of smut, and I think it turned out pretty decent! (Also was the first fic that got a comment from Aralias, which meant a lot to me).

New Year, New Me: This one again didn't make the AO3 top ten, most likely because of the mpreg tag. But it is the exception to the 'gift fic curse', because again, I got to put so much of myself into it. The song @moodandmist and @cutestkilla wrote for it helps elevate this one for me too!

Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun: I'll be honest here. I'll read PWP for the usual reasons, but it's always been one of my least favorite categories. I like plot in my fics. But this idea of Baz and Simon having a foursome with their own clones came to me and wouldn't let me go. And the fact that I got to work with Ashton, @artsyunderstudy? That is absolutely the reason this makes my top ten.

The White Chapel: This one is very new and will likely score higher as I get some distance from it. But as an adaptation of my all time favorite movie, Xanadu, it was a pleasure to write from start to finish (and it's also an exception from the gift fic curse, I'm now realizing--but it wasn't written to a prompt and I think that makes the difference).

Favorite spot to enjoy drinks to mark the fall season.

Feelings one or both have about fall.

Any dislikes about popular fall trends the pair or one of the pair hates.

Any specific festivities or activities one or both may want to do during fall.

Typical attire or accessories one or both sport as the weather and seasons change.

Tagging @martsonmars @palimpsessed @tea-brigade @aristocratic-otter @sillyunicorn because I haven’t seen y’all tagged and I’d love to see your lists.

AO3 Top 10 vs My Top 10

AO3 Top 10:

A Crack in the Wall [Drarry, Jily, Wolfstar, 39k, Teen]

The Wrong Sider [Drarry, Draco & Scorpius, 66k, Teen]

We Were Always More, my WIP that @captain-aralias finished [Snowbaz, 9k, Teen]

Thirst Trapped [Snowbaz, 16k, Mature]

Shiver, @captain-aralias’s fic that I finished [Snowbaz, 7k, Mature]

On a Scale of One to Ten How Much Do You Want to Date Me Right Now [Snowbaz, 10k, Teen]

Dancing with Molly [Snowbaz, 8k, Teen]

What Am I Now? [Drarry, 600, Teen]

Seven Minutes, collab with @captain-aralias [Snowbaz, 7k, Mature]

This Will All Go Down In Flames, COBB 2022 with @tea-brigade [Snowbaz, 77k, Expicit]

Not surprising that my Drarry fics rank higher than Snowbaz fics, given the size of that fandom, but I’m glad This Will All Go Down In Flames cracked the top 10 despite being relatively new. And can I start a kudos-petition to get What Am I Now? And Dancing With Molly knocked out of my top 10? How embarrassing.

Also not surprised to see my collabs with @captain-aralias rank so high; those are such fun fics and I’m glad they are liked.

My list after the break.

My Top 5 (in no particular order, with commentary at the end)

I tend to suffer from recency bias when it comes to my fics, but it’s no surprise to me that my more conceptual stories tend to be my favorite (even though it doesn’t make them popular).

His Mercy, Mine [Snowbaz, 6k, Mature]. One of the most complicated things I’ve ever written. I haven’t reread it in awhile so hopefully it’s still as good as I remember.

And We Still Do [Snowbaz, 8k, Teen]. Another convoluted plot which required me to write five elaborate backstories for short fics LOL. But such a good stretch of my writing muscles and probably the reason I’m so burnt out on worldbuilding.

The Wedding Bet [Snowbaz, 16k, Teen]. Proof that I do my most ambitious shit when it’s a gift for someone else LOL. @martsonmars’s favorite is secretly dating but you don’t find out until the very end and I was fucking dedicated to making that happen. I tried out three other rivals to lovers AUs before settling on a HIMYM AU.

This Will All Go Down In Flames [Snowbaz, 77k, Explict]. I still dream about this fic. I fantasize about it being a movie. I drool over Baz and Simon sing-fucking on stage. This fic lives in my bones. If you read one thing by me, it’d better damn well be this fic.

in death, dignity & in death as in life [Snowbaz, 3k total, Teen]. I’m cheating in that this is actually a series but I love these two so much as companion pieces. These are fics that channeled themselves through me; I barely even remember writing them. They tackle a subject I spent a lot of time researching in college but never really considered the human aspect of until I saw a picture of someone grieving their loved one and basically couldn’t stop crying until I wrote the first fic. The second fic I wrote to heal from the first one. Maybe one day I’ll write a third in the series, aka Christina tackles the afterlife, but not today.
