Fandom: Harry Potter

Pairing (s): Harry/Draco
Most Popular: Zeroing In
Warnings: genderswap

Even before I checked my hits on AO3, I was pretty sure I'd list this as the fan favorite because it was my first fic (non-gaming related) posted, and it still gets kudos randomly now. It's also one of my personal favorites, honestly. I have one HP fic on AO3 with more hits, and that's because it got hit by spam and I have no idea how many of the hits are real.

Pairing (s): Scorpius/Albus
Most Popular: An Awful Mess
Warnings: mpreg, teen pregnancy

By kudos, this is my second most popular, and considering it has half the hits of the first but still has more kudos than everything else, I think it kind of counts.

For personal HP favorites, I have too many to count probably, so here are a few (in addition to Zeroing In).

Bent (an NC-17 severely AU story of Draco's son and Neville's son and their seven years at Hogwarts)
No Matter Where You Go (There You Are) (Neville/Draco if you squint, a character journey for Draco really)
The Right Kind of Sinner (JamesSirius/Scorpius, NC-17, mpreg (MY FIRST))
For Your and Your Denial (Marcus/Oliver, mpreg, because it's MARCUS)
Hello, Goodbye (Harry/Neville, miscarriage/mourning, because it was hard as hell to write and I loved how it worked in the end)
Scars of Pleasure, Scars of Pain (Draco/Lavender, because it's not a normal pairing and I had a blast writing it)
Minesweeper (Harry/Draco, because it's the closest thing to crack I've written)
Do This In Remembrance (Draco/AlbusSeverus, cannibalism, because this made me work for it and I love how it came out)

And I'm stopping there, because there are others, but I'm weird and I actually like a LOT of what I write after I write it. But those are probably my top favorites, except for the ones I forgot to include. They are the ones I have this ridiculous weird fondness for that's hard to explain.

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.

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.

[capitu]

Oh Glory, that's the one!

We weren't friends back then and I remember thinking WHO WROTE THIS FIC? I must worship the floor they walk on. It's so, so good!

And yep, you really, really need.

[tryslora]

*blush* No worship needed. Marcus just lends himself beautifully to reluctant growly kinky writing. :)

There's not enough genderfluid/genderbending writing out there. I kind of want to write it outside of fandom, too (more than the one novel I wrote) but I don't have plots, just people in my head. Ah well.
