data taken from 01-01-2025 until 15-12-2025 (why don't you just wait until the end of the year? well, im bored and quite free now, not sure during the holiday later....also the season practically ended already so ☺️)

this is based on fics gained during this time frame only NOT TOTAL WORKS.

Max had the most ships in the top 30; (Total: 8). the paddock slut that he is smh.

russtappen had the most outstanding fic growth in 2025. for ref, their total works are 2356 so about 2.2k fics came from this year alone. in contrast, they only gained 95 fics during last year. george's increasing popularity this season definitely played the part, also they did have a lot of moments this year so, its not really surprising i guess.

that said, charles, oscar and george had the most positive increases in almost all of their ships data.

honourable mention: isack hadjar/liam lawson @ 31st place.

i think jack doohan was wrong, charles is the real “paddock slut.”

pierre: are we awake or not?

charles: it's way too early (7:30) [...] oh, i thought it was your hand (recording)
