Ao3 Annual Kudos Meme
Jul. 31st, 2019 08:34 pmInspired by muccamukk, my top fics for each year, sorted by kudos.
2013: A Shattered Angel and a Broken Fist, Warhammer 40k: An (unfortunately incomplete) AU of what would have happened if Sanguinius didn't die at the end of the Horus Heresy.
2014: Spring Soldier, Captain America: Winter Soldier; Bucky-centric recovery fic, also long-ish. I am still surprised that at the time, no one else had called their fic Spring Soldier. It seems like an obvious name.
2015: Bandages, Guild Wars 2: Riannoc/Trahearne hurt/comfort. Somehow one of the only two fics I wrote in 2015? I don't know how that happened. I can't think of any reason for my fic output to have dropped so much? It's either that I was focusing on visual art, or I wrote more fics or didn't post them. (...or the awkward first attempt at a novel ate my time, come to think of it.)
2016: The Heat Talking, Overwatch: Reinhardt/76 A/B/O smut. Even with the rarepair, the combo of A/B/O and Overwatch mean this is my most popular fic ever. (It was a quick'n'dirty kink meme fill. Where I nearly stumbled right into the requester's (at the time unstated) DNWs. I don't understand why it's so popular. I feel like the big fandom effect shouldn't have been that big!)
2017: Curiosity (Didn't) Kill The Cat, The Adventure Zone: Balance ; Killian/Carey Fangbattle pre-slash, that's about how Carey first met Killian. I'm still pretty proud of this one; it's got a good plot, and I quite like the dialogue.
2018: Altered Material, Silmarillion: Maeglin centric, long, hurt/comfort with a dash of Maeglin/Celebrimbor. It's also fix-it fic, both in the sense of 'canon was implausible and I shall fix it' and 'yay, things turned out better than in canon'. Still pretty hecking dark. And I am definitely still proud of this one. This was the fic where I got my long fic mojo back. Also it has geology symbolism, because of course it does.
I knew I hopped between fandoms a lot, but I don't think that any fandom shows up more than once here. O_O. Welp.
