violaceaHello again. Back around, doing a meme that looked like fun (stolen from singedsun) to get back into the groove.
"If your fic were an album, what would the track list be?"
The popular, catchy one: Wreathed in Smoke, Wound in Heather, the Perc'ahlia Beauty & the Beast AU I'm cowriting (present tense, I swear we're going to finish it!) with Elena. If you had told me 4 years ago that the most popular fic I'd ever write by miles would be for a D&D campaign streamed on the internet, I would have laughed at you. But here we are.
The obscure early one no one bought at the time: Something of Value, my very first Yuletide fic, for the 2009 SyFy Alice miniseries. I remember being really proud of it, then kind of disappointed because I got the impression that the recipient wasn't terribly into it. But now it's got more hits than I honestly expected, and I'm still proud of it.
The "experimental" one, written when you were possibly on some substance: Carry Moonbeams Home in a Jar, bandom, Ryan/Spencer. "Aliens made them do it" has never been my thing, so I have no idea why this happened.
The slushy one: If "slushy" means "all the porn ever," it has to be the beast you made of me, my most recent work, which is 100% an excuse for Perc'ahlia werewolf sex.
The brash, loud one, mid album: when the wicked play another Perc'ahlia WIP I swear to god I'm going to finish, I know exactly what happens in the next two chapters, I just need to get past the fucking scene I've been stuck on for a year.
The bitter one about your ex/former manager/cat: Children of a Lesser God, a Dragon Age 2 story pairing bitter post-game Warden Bethany with bitter post-game Templar Cullen. I still love this story a lot, all these years later.
The one only you like, you insular weirdo: Matches to Paper Dolls, a Baphomet-centered WicDiv story written for Yuletide. I'm apparently bad at Yuletide, which is why I don't participate anymore, because I'm pretty sure I saw the recipient complaining about this on _coal. I still like it, though, so ... *shrug*
The genre-hopping crossover hit: lost in the falling dark, the bandom Pete/Patrick/Mikey werewolf story Lars and I wrote that was the most popular thing I've ever written by far until Critical Role came along. Counting it as a crossover because a) that's an OT3 that only has 58 stories on AO3, b) it was cowritten, and c) included more Frank/Gerard than maybe any of my other stories.
The one where you tried to be "modern": Multi-Purpose, the one and only MCU story I've ever written, and maybe the only X Times fic I ever posted? I think?
The anthemic final track: Chasing Starlight, a bandom (Bob/Mikey) space opera AU. I love this universe SO MUCH, it's been in my head for almost a decade now and I still want to do something original with it, and the story - like most of my bandom stories - is me allowing myself to write all the romance tropes I love. Bandom will always be my favorite past fandom for giving me that freedom.
