Stolen from [personal profile] thisbluespirit: List your top fanfic on AO3 for every year, sorted by kudos.

I joined AO3 back in late 2009 so long before kudos was a thing, but here we go anyway.

2009

Always With the Poisons (Stardust; gen; 1129 words) Hilariously the second part of a series and just pipping There is a Kingdom by a whole one kudos.

2010

Of no surprise whatsoever, Your Logic is Flawed The only Big Bang Theory fic I've ever written or ever will. Written for the transfic mini fest and perennially one of the most popular fics I've ever written. My gender dysphoria feels, let me show you them.

2011

Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before (Doctor Who, Jenny/Vastra, 2746 words.) Back in 2011 when Madame Vastra and Jenny showed up we thought they'd be one off cameos and a femslash fandom of like half a dozen people and about as many fics, never imagining they'd end up as recurring characters with their own Big Finish series and 23 pages of works on AO3...

2012

Shadows in the Library (Doctor Who/Discworld, River Song & The Librarian, 1545 words) As per the notes on this fic: This was supposed to be a light-hearted romp where the Librarian and River Song keep bumping into each other and helping each other out of the kind of jams where you have to sidetrack via L-Space. It became something else instead.

2013

Probably the year when I wrote the least fic I'd written since 2002, I don't write longfic and yet I've written fics longer than my total output that year.

Second City (Rivers of London, Dr Walid/OFC, 1813 words) I missed the vital reference to red hair in the original description of Dr Walid so originally in my head (and honestly always in my heart) he's a Scots-Pakinstani bloke from the West End of Glasgow. (He could still be a convert! Maybe his parents were Sikhs from the Punjab who emigrated to Scotland during Partition!)

2014

Mythical Beasts in a Digital Age (MCU - Hawkeye/Agents of Shield; Clint/Coulson; 2814 words) Probably the most fun I had writing any story all that year. It involves a space dragon; just a small one.

2015
As per above, this fic at 4075 words is exactly as many words as I wrote in 2013, I wrote about 3x that many words that year.

Magic Boxes(The What Remains Mix) (MCU; gen; 4075 words) I do love remix. A rare occassion I actually wrote a remix as assigned. (I usually write pinch-hits.)

2016

Feather on the Nile (The Mummy; Ardeth Bay/Evy Carnahan O'Connell/Rick O'Connell; 3325 words) Speaking of pinch hits, this was a pinch hit for NotPrimeTime. Apparently lots of people loved this film as teenagers and didn't realise that they do had been longing for this pairing.

2017

A Most Unusual Feeling (Leverage, Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer; 3319 words) This was the fic where I found my niche in writing Leverage fic, I did wonder when I started writing this fic if it was the only fic I had in me for this fandom or even just this pairing/threesome...this turned out to very much not be the case. It's now the single fandom that I've written the most words for this entire decade.

2018

As evidence by the oh about 30,000 words I've written in this fandom since then 2018's fic was Hear It in the Silence (Leverage; Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer; 7390 words of soulmate AU fic)

2019

We're only half-way through the year but even so Hiding in Plain Sight (MCU - Captain Marvel; Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeau; 450 words) is holding it's own there.

"I pretty much repress everything Maths related."
- Buffy

"You'll always be mine, always and never. Never. The Fire, baby. It'll burn us both. It'll kill us both. There's no place in this world for our kind of fire. Always and never. If I have to die for you tonight, I will."
- Sin City

"Pazuzu you ungrateful gargoyle, I put you through college and this is how you repay me?"
- Futurama

Kryten: "Is it just me, or is that cockroach shuffling too loudly?
Rimmer: "Kryten, it's called a hangover, don't panic."
Lister: "We're on a mining ship, three million years into deep space... can someone explain to me where the smeg I got this traffic cone?"
The Cat: "Hey! It's not a good night unless you get a traffic cone! It's the police woman's helmet and the suspenders I don't understand! "
- Red Dwarf

The Operative: "That girl will rain destruction down on you and your ship. She is an albatross, Captain."

"You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself."
- Breakfast at Tiffany's

"Love is merely an emotional adaptation to a purely physical need."

"It's supposed to be ironic."
- Donnie Darko

"Smell is the most powerful memory trigger there is. A certain flower or a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten. Books smell - musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer has no texture, no context. It's there and then it's gone. If it's to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible. It should be smelly."
- Giles, BTVS

Creativity is... viewing the world from a different angle. Taking things from everyday life that otherwise might seem mundane and go un-noticed, and turning them into something beautiful. Finding beauty where there seems to be none and changing the perceptions of others so they can see that beauty too. Making something out of seemingly nothing...

"They have not wanted Peace at all; they have wanted to be spared war -- as though the absence of war was the same as peace."
- Dorothy Thompson

"Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free."
- Dalai Lama

"First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me."
- Pastor Martin Niemöller

"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."
- Maya Angelou
