Fandom: Teen Wolf (just in case anyone cares *grins*)

I'm listing two most popular because one is purely by number of hits, and the other is the one that doesn't have inflated hits due to being a WiP.

Most Popular: Haven't Forgotten My Way Home
Pairing (s): Derek/Stiles
Warnings: WiP, future fic, kid fic (not mpreg)

I love this story, I'm excited to finish it in the next few months. It's my most popular by hits purely because it gets a few more kudos every time I post a chapter, I think.

Most Popular #2: Find Me, Touch Me, Feel Me
Pairing (s): Derek/Stiles
Warnings: nc-17, crossdressing, a/b/o, bonding, knotting

If I could bottle whatever the hell I did for this fic, I would, because this one has double the hits of the next one in my list, and I seriously don't know what I did differently. I love the story, but it has a popularity I never expected.

My personal favorites in TW tend towards the dark ones, and one of my series which I kind of love rolling around in.

fingerprint bruises painted on skin (Stiles/Jackson/Lydia in various combinations, abuse, non-con, 2nd person POV, I just... this fic wrote itself for me)
Cut My Feelings to the Bone (Derek/Jackson, D/s, mild dub-con, this was my first Halemore and it's still one of my favorites)
Eat the Terror, Lick the Spark (Derek/Stiles, major character death... fandom doesn't like it when I kill Stiles, but I loved this story and still do, even if it ripped my heart out to write it)
I'm Not Going To Let You Go Down (With the Ship) (Derek/Stiles, human AU fusion with Deadliest Catch, this was a huge flop as far as fandom is concerned, but I fell in love with it while writing and am still so glad I was able to write it)
All Our Yesterdays (Stiles/Jackson, divorce and angst, this is my favorite series to write, and I love working through the magic and past mistakes and wrestling with all the feelings involved)

Re: DRARRYISGREEN

[capitu]

LOL! I loved Refuge, too! I wouldn't have been able to pick and list them both. <3

Re: DRARRYISGREEN

[drarryisgreen]

Haha. Yeah I didn't want to break the rules and post more than one.

[capitu]

Ohhh! :D Yay! New fics to read. I've come to realise I LOVE Teddy/James and all sorts of Scorpius slash. :D

[capitu]

Gods. I loved your Ollivander/Snape. I love it when new pairing surprise me so much! <3

[capitu]

Oh My GOD. Some of my all time favourites are on this list. ^^ Christ!

101 Ways to Heal Your Wizarding Woes was one of the first H/D stories I ever read. No wonder I fell in love with this pairing.

[capitu]

*dies*

This is officially the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

[capitu]

You're right about Blood Squib. :D I've read and recced that story like it's nobody's business. ^^

[capitu]

Oh my gosh. The Child in Me does things to my heart.

Bow ties are cool. And he was crying for his childhood, not just the toys.

*rushes to read it again*


Oh god! A Living Memory is 41k! *dies* I can't wait to get my hands on that.

[capitu]

I haven't read any Petunia fics before. Sounds intriguing.

All That Remains will forever be one of my favourites. It's one of those stories I can't get enough of. It was one of those fics that marked me, you know? I love it.

[lordhellebore]

Ohh, if you are able to read sad fic ("A Different Fate" is poignant but more uplifting, imho), look at All Through The Night - it's centred around Petunia and her motherly feelings for Harry. I'd almost picked it as my personal favourite.

And I'm so flattered <3 Thank you. Writing "All That Remains" marked me too, because I realised that I was capable of plotting and world-building, not "only" fic centred completely around character/emotions.

[mab.livejournal.com]

I second All through the Night! Capitu, you really must read it. *cries*

[lordhellebore]

*blushes and snugglepets you*

[capitu]

Zeroing In was the first story by you that I read. It blew me away! I remembered following the link from hd_complete, I think, and I wanted to read everything by you. :D One of my favourite genderswap fics.

Another one I loved was a Marcus/Percy fic I read. For hp_sexstars, I believe. Damn, that was another fic that left me speechless.

You write so many pairings! I love, love, love that about you.

Re: *waves*

[birdsofshore]

Business of Shagging is a huge crowd-pleaser! I adore it :D

[birdsofshore]

A Year on the Circuit is a proper hoot. :D

Re: Can't wait to see what everyone else recs - here is mine.

[birdsofshore]

I must catch up on Twist of Fate. I got so behind with my reading and once you've let a WIP slide a bit, it feels hard to catch up sometimes, you know what I mean?

[eidheann_writes]

Aw thank you ♥

capitu said it was like my calling card. My list apparently says: you can have fun or angsty. Mpreg is a given. ;)

Re: Just getting actually writing things but here is mine

[birdsofshore]

Lovely! I hope you're planning to write lots more for us!

[tryslora]

Awww, thank you! I really need to write more genderswap, genderfluid, and genderbending fics. I really really do.

The Marcus/Percy fic you are thinking of is Oh Glory which I didn't list because if I started, I'd just list all of my Marcus fics as favorites because I love writing him SO MUCH. I have a massive soft spot for him, and for various combinations of Marcus, Percy, and Oliver.

[melusinahp.livejournal.com]

I love self pimping day. :D All these new fics to check out!

Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing (s): Harry/Draco
Most Popular: Not sure, but I think it might be Silver Buttons and Shiny Boots (http://melusinahp.livejournal.com/778253.html)
Warnings: none
Personal Favourite: It changes, but maybe Love Is... (http://melusinahp.livejournal.com/841408.html)
Pairing (s): Harry/Draco
Warnings: dub/coerced-consent, pre-story character death

[capitu]

I love it when a story breaks your heart like this and then makes it better. This is so amazing. Angsty and brilliant.

I really do love how you wrote Petunia.

Sometimes you know a character, you read them on the books but they aren't real past them, you know? Past the books, past the canon. You just made Petunia a real character for me in a whole different dimension.

It's hard to explain. I don't even know if I'm making any sense. I loved it.

And yeah I can read sad fic! I need to gather my courage though but I love Angst.

[birdsofshore]

Evil Devil Child is probably my all-time favourite fic ever. In fact I think it's probably my all-time favourite THING ever. :D

[indyonblue.livejournal.com]

What an awesome idea! I'd join in but only have two fics to my name lol, maybe in a few years time.

On the bright side though, getting a whole load of new recs in my spreadsheet (yes, I am that boring :D)

[birdsofshore]

Silver Buttons and Shiny Boots. *happy sigh* What a fic that is.
