I was tagged by @apprenticemockingbird, thank you so much dear! ♥ List the top five and bottom five of your fics on AO3, by kudos.

Top Five

1. One Feather Bed

I was floored this got many hits at all, much less that it proved the most popular of my fics. A racier imagining of Petyr and Sansa’s boat journey to the Eyrie that heavily played up the master/apprentice vibes of the ship.

2. Sharp

Once upon a time Tywin x Sansa was an interesting crackship to me, although it didn’t have nearly the staying power of P/S. Pretty cut and dried Iron Throne smut that makes me wish I’d written some for my OTP too.

3. Brumous

This was a request fill for the first Petyr x Sansa Week (side note: round 3 soon?) and I’m very proud of the language and imagery I used here. It’s an AU I’d like to return to in new one-shots sometime.

4. A Flower Does Not Choose Its Color

An early fic of mine: a Stoker-inspired canon AU that I ran out of steam on after a couple chapters. This was something I felt very confident in for the set-up, then realized I had no idea of where I wanted to go or how I wanted to end it. Even today I get questions about finishing it and I might. It needs a serious re-write and some disciplined plotting first though.

5. Prized Possessions

Shameless endgame P/S smut that plays off an extended joke about Petyr’s elitist dandyism. So, the best of all worlds.

Bottom Five

5. Fruitful Promises

Another attempt at a multi-chapter fic that I abandoned after realizing I didn’t have much inspiration past the set up. Maybe outlines aren’t such a bad thing after all…

4. Discovery

My first story on AO3, from a Tumblr ask prompt. It wound up as the inspiration for an extended Hunger Games AU. Even though the writing feels a little amateur in retrospect, it has a very fond place in my heart.

3. Awake, Arise, Or Be Forever Fall’n

MY FAVORITE AU. Oh my god, introducing the daemons of Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials into a relationship that’s dependent on subterfuge and masks is a delicious idea to me. But no sexy times and it reads like the introduction to a longer, multi-chapter work, so I understand the diminished interest.

2. Transcendence

Creepy Swan Lake AU that has a lot of innuendo and no dirty stuff, which I assume is why it’s one of the least popular. Another experiment with imagery that I think worked out well even if it lacked the sexy times to give it mass appeal.

1. A Kiss Like Dying

I wound up re-reading this while filling out replies to this meme and wow, I love it. A Deathless AU that’s heavy on the BDSM and keeps the power imbalance between Petyr and Sansa intact, even though she has much more agency. I want to write more of them in this universe.

I tag: @joannalannister, @myrandar, @alayne-stonecoldfox, @manbunjon, and any other fic writers who want to do it! (I haven’t checked AO3 in so long, please forgive my missing all the newcomers!)
