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 @buildarocketboys and @thefvckingwarship – thanks!
1. The Cup of Their Deserving – This is my post canon fix-it and look – I’m honest to fuck so incredibly proud of it. It’s been five months since the finale and this thing’s 10 chapters long and just about to be finished off. It’s some of my best writing, if I’m being honest and I’ve been told by multiple people that it’s both cathartic and really, really well done as far as characterization and pacing goes. Also, there are truly awesome gifs created by the amazing @bean-about-townn!
2. Wax Wings and Cloudy Days – This is a short little AU for those of you who don’t like big long things but do like angst and political plotting. Oh – and Admiral Hennessey. The standard disclaimer applies on this one – I have extensive headcanon on Hennessey and why he did what he did in canon and that forms the background for this fic in that I don’t think he liked what he did to James or had any choice in the matter. I’m kind of proud of the Greek myth theme that’s woven into this one, though.
3. Hell Hath No Fury – I started this one as a “let Miranda live” short fic and now it has a sequel and I’m planning on making the series into a trilogy at some point. She deserved better and if canon won’t give her that, then I fucking will. As a related rec, once you’re done with this one, go read Battle Raven.
4. Full of Grace – This is for everyone who likes crying, pain, suffering, and happy endings. I’ve put James, Thomas, and Miranda through the wringer here, but I swear they’ll be ok in the end. Also this fic may or may not be a blatant excuse to murder Alfred Hamilton again.
5. They That Sow the Wind – this is my very first long fic and I’m actually still so very, very proud of it. It’s not one of those fics that are cringeworthy in retrospect but you look back on fondly – I say it with all seriousness, I love this fic and every character in it. One of these days it’s getting a sequel, and if I were going to choose one of my fics to rework into an actual novel, it would be this one. I have no idea where I’d start with that, but I kind of want to do it, because the scenes are so very vivid in my head. Go read it if you haven’t already – it’s a fun ride and it’s completely finished, no need to wait for updates!
I tag @iwt-v, @bean-about-townn, @flinthamilton, @comtessedebussy, @reluming, @shirogiku, and anyone else that wants to do it!
