“Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers.

I was tagged by @iwtv2007 – thanks, darling! I think I’ve maybe done this before but like Laura, my favorites have probably changed a bit since my fic list has expanded.

1. To the Upper Air – This fic has arguably given me more trouble than any other fic I’ve written but it’s my favorite. I was all kinds of nervous posting it because I didn’t think it was going to take off given that it’s a time travel fix-it, and I’m so pleased that I was wrong. This is still a work in progress, but I have put so much research and effort and honestly love into this thing and it’s meant to be hopeful and redemptive. Also I’ve talked with a ton of people in the fandom since I started writing it so it’s been great for that. I swear, I’m working on finishing it! Chapter 18 just needs to be perfect because it’s the penultimate one (I think).

2. They That Sow the Wind – If you haven’t read this one already, it’s the one that I’m arguably proudest of simply because it was my very first finished long fic. It’s a fun AU that jumps off pre-canon in 1705 and proceeds to toss canon out the window. I like the way it’s put together and I’m particularly proud of the OCs in this, actually. 

3. As a Stranger Give it Welcome – I know that I’ve expressed some opinions about Silver on here post-finale but this fic I’m still so damn proud of because it’s actually got a theme that holds it together and honestly, it takes all the things that bother me about Flint and Silver being together and fixes them. Also this was my first and probably only smut, so there’s that. 

4. Four for a Boy – Honestly, I used to be kind of ambivalent about this one. I felt like the characterizations weren’t quite on point, but I’m very pleased that my version of Thomas’ and James’ reunion was damn near right on point at least as far as Thomas’ reaction goes, and I really like that it gives Miranda back some of the agency she spent so long without and a role in seeing Thomas home safe with her and James. 

5. The Cup of Their Deserving – I won’t lie – I really like this one. It’s been so damn cathartic after the finale and I could no more have refrained from writing it than I could have from breathing, because to be honest the finale knocked me on my ass and left me reeling. I wasn’t sleeping well, I spent about two weeks just having static in my head, and then I started writing this and it… fixed things. Kind of a lot. I’ve been told by multiple commenters that it’s done something of the kind for them, too, so I’m very glad I started writing it.
