I have 38 published fic over five different fandoms and idk if that’s a good thing? if anyone wants to know, I’ve published a total of 353,637 words on ao3 and idek how many words I published on lj lol some of these will be two sentences, but the second part is a completion of the first and I think both are necessary! okay here we go, going in reverse order:

20. A year passes and Clarke opens the closet door and is almost surprised when one of the trash bags falls from a high shelf on top of her. darling, we outshone the stars bellarke

19. Jinki grows up with dreamscapes in his back pocket and a blaster in his right hand.  you knew you’d know me onho/shinee

18. Monty hasn’t spoken for days. scatter what remains minty

17. Miller is walking across campus, earbuds in place and matching his stride with beat, when someone grabs his arm. kisses on my knuckles minty

16. Her first memory is at five. trust me harper/monty friendship

15. “Oh my god,” Clarke says, bending down to pull the lasagne out of the oven. lasagne bellarke (connected to a winter vacation)

14. The car is packed, and they’re waiting on Clarke. a winter vacation bellarke (connected to lasgane)

13. A list of chores lies on Bellamy’s bedside table, a small, crudely crafted piece of furniture. everything comes undone bellarke

12. See, Monty might be younger, but that doesn’t make him different in any way. to live in our world, thoroughly bellamy + wells + monty brofic

11. It’s seven-thirty am. a better way home minty (sequel for to live in our world)

10. “I’m not cut out for love or romance,” Hawke says mournfully into her mug. now I’m found again vhawke

9. To say she loves Kirkwall is a lie, Hawke thinks. She knows that to say she loves anything is a stretch. go forward slowly vhawke

8. “Adaar makes horrible first impressions,” Varric tells her, “so don’t take it to heart. She’ll like you, trust me.” please picture me vhawke

7. “Yeah, I’ll have the number three, the fourteen, um, one of the twenty-one, and, you know what, can you make that two orders of the number three, and then…” Kate scans the menu in her mind.  how shall I correct it? kathony

6. Snow gently falls outside, and every so often tree branches scrape against the windows. things take the time they take kathony

5. The sun is shining and the water is calm; what’s meant to be a beautiful Sunday the week before the Fastnet Race has quickly turned around.  there be fury on the waves kathony

4. “You know, he was not always like this.” a tear of tremulous emotion kathony

3. Trouble in paradise comes after three months. ocean solitudes are blest kathony (sequel for fury on the waves)

2. The library is the quietest room at Aubrey Hall. sigh a sigh kathony

1. There must be a mistake. half afraid to hope kathony

out of all of these, just here, my fav is actually 9, for go forward slowly, because like, the theme was very much about how a home is made, and how you might not love that home but it can still be your home, even after trauma. I just think I started out really strongly!! and followed through on the themes I wanted to! I don’t particularly see any patterns, but if someone sees one, please lmk!!

to anyone reading this, genuinely, please feel free to consider yourself tagged. I’m persistently dumb and can never think of people when on the spot, so please do this if you want to!!!
