fanfic stats meme!

2025-03-03T00:00:06Z

Nicked it from rhoda_rants :D

Rules: give us the links to your fics with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the fewest words.

Most hits: 1 out of 10 couples (meet on the job) (2,522 hits)

The Old Guard, assassin and master art thief AU

Second most kudos: one for the road (289 kudos)

The Man From Uncle (2015), G, just a vignette of the trio in a pub with some Illya/Napoleon yearning

Third most comments: vocal (40 comments)

Lo Chiamavano Jeeg Robot/Wolf crossover with the distinction of being the first fic in the ship tag, PWP

Fourth most bookmarks: ditto! (21 bookmarks)

Fifth most words: thy happy coast (5,478 words)

The Terror, Fitzier, canon divergence: Francis is able to attend Carnivale

Fewest words: and stay awhile (717 words)

The Terror, Rossier, pre-canon fluff on an earlier expedition

I'm not surprised about the highest hit count (that fic is from 2020 and from a bigger fandom!), but I am surprised that my old T.M.F.U. fic has the second highest kudos count! Goes to show how small of a fandom e.g. The Terror is, which is where I've written by far the most fics. Also surprised and a little amused that my one longfic, a 25k mutual pining fix-it written for The Terror Big Bang, managed to evade the list completely. :D

yuletide reveals!

2025-01-04T01:15:14Z

Now that Yuletide anonymity is up, and doubling as a first Fannish 50 post, I can share my fic!

Like I think I mentioned, I got to write for Scream of the Shalka this year, and for a good friend of mine!

Title: when the summer comes along, for 2manyboys
Fandom: Doctor Who: Scream of the Shalka
Pairing: Ninth Doctor/The Master
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Additional tags: Questionable Coping Mechanisms, The Master being The Master, handwavey lore, this is self indulgent on several levels, Power Imbalance, Romantic Gestures, Mind/Mood Altering Substances, Partial Mind Control, Complicated Relationships
Word count: 5522
Summary: "Florana?" The Master laughs despite himself, gaping at the Doctor in open surprise. "That tourist trap?" — In which a field trip is had, and the Master plots.

I had a lot of fun with the writing despite the hurdles I ran into (and the several things I wanted to include that I ended up not having time for), and thankfully my recipient enjoyed it!

And a proper rec post for the fic I received!

Title: Can you feel this? by Melime for furiously
Fandom: Doctor Who: Scream of the Shalka
Pairing: Ninth Doctor/The Master
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Additional tags: Complicated Relationships, Injury, Mutilation, android repairs, Angst, Denial of Feelings
Word count: 1445
Summary: The Master is injured protecting himself and the Doctor, and the Doctor must rebuild his hand. As the hours of tense repairs stretch before them, neither wants to investigate the Master's feelings.

This was a lovely little fic, great characterisation and a couple of lines that really hit, especially the closing line.

fic: respite (jonathan strange & mr norrell)

2021-06-09T02:21:54Z

another fic post a week after the first? what is this??

Title: respite
Pairing: John Segundus/John Childermass (pre-slash)
Word count: 5576
Rating: Gen
Summary:

Childermass did not look noticeably better than he had that morning. In fact, thought Mr Segundus as Childermass crossed his threshold for the second time that day and shut the door behind him, he looked rather worse.

In which Childermass returns to Starecross Hall after the disappearance of Hurtfew, and two very tired magicians share a moment of peace (and also sandwiches).

this is my first fic in the JS&MN fandom, and the whole time i was writing it i was essentially thinking of it as a trial run, like the fanfic equivalent of a kiddie bike with training wheels. as i say in the tags, it's basically five tropes in a trenchcoat (or a greatcoat if you will), but i had a lot of fun writing it, and i'm actually really excited to have written something for this fandom for the first time!

( some personal ramblings under the cut )

fic: the undone and the divine (jekyll & hyde itv)

2021-05-31T04:41:44Z

One of the things I've watched lately has been the (incredibly hammy and silly) 2015 Jekyll and Hyde series from ITV, which - full disclosure - I only watched because Enzo Cilenti is in it, and I enjoy his face. I thought it was pretty terrible for about two episodes, and then it grew on me, completely without my permission, and now I love several of the characters. As you do.

So of course the logical thing to do was to write a PWP about the villains.

Title: the undone and the divine
Pairing: Captain Dance/Fedora
Word count: 2100
Rating: Explicit
Summary: Constantinople, 1914. Dance has a new alias - and a new uniform. Fedora is appreciative.
On Ao3: here.

fic: one for the road (the man from u.n.c.l.e.)

2019-02-28T04:18:25Z

I watched the Man From U.N.C.L.E. reboot again a few days ago, and apparently it was love at second sight, so for the past few days I've been thinking a lot about queer spies (and yelling about said spies to my friend on facebook). This yelling resulted in fic.

This was hammered out in one sitting, I have a cold, and it’s not betaed, so, to quote one of my favourite fic writers, “caveat lector; mind your head”. This is pure self-indulgent nonsense, nothin’ deep here, folks.

Word count: 1093
Rating: PG
Relationships: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Summary: The gang goes out for a drink or five.

——-

They’ve been working together for three months already when Illya first hears Napoleon sing, and he nearly fumbles his drink in surprise.
