MEME: Fave Fics

Sometimes it's okay to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fics favorite you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

Underneath It All [X-Men, Emma Frost/Jean Grey]

I'm just a sucker for an ice-queen with a heart of gold.  Honestly, I love the idea (and sometimes the execution) of the Emma Frost character, and I wanted to see her with someone who could bring out the best in her.  Who could reach the Emma she keeps buried deep inside.  Just something about the way these two stumbled reluctantly in to love makes me 'aw'.

Welcome to the Fold [Blade: The Series, Krista/Chase]

Love Krista/Chase, love 'em.  I'd written a bunch of short pieces with these two, but it was in this one that I actually got to take the time to develop their relationship and their feelings for each other.  It was plot, and emotions along with the sex and that made it a satisfying exercise.  Also, Krista and Chase are just hot as hell together, and even with the cancellation of the show (DAMN YOU SPIKE TV!) still own a big section of my soul.  Vampire!Kink FTW!

Tango in D Minor [Gossip Girl, Serena/Blair]

Serena and Blair, ya'll!  Their love cannot be denied.  Like with Welcome to the Fold, I like this story because it was a long, slow exploration of a relationship between Serena and Blair.  Before it had been short stories (which this actually started out as and just spiraled out of control!), but I liked thinking about and exploring how a real relationship instead of hidden flings would work between the two of them.  And like on the show, there's just so much love between the two of them that it makes my heart all gooey and rainbow coloured to think of them.

The Edge  [Twilight, Ailce/Bella]

God, oh my god.  This story has just taken on a life of its own.  I honestly kind of hate the source material, but Alice (and Ashely Greene, who's just cute as a button) are just so awesome that she inspired this.  Mostly what I like about this story, is that it's allowing me to delve into what I liked about the Twilight-verse, and the characters in the books, while allowing me exorcise the parts of the series that sent me into uncontrollable rages.  It's like both Alice and Bella had the possibility of being really cool people in the books, but they never fully emerged that way.  So here, I get to try and imagine what they would have been like without the utter stupidity, and have vampire/human sexin', which is hot.

Well, This Happened [Popular, Brooke/Sam]

Kickin' it old skool with this one.  Brooke and Sam are like my original OTP.  This was the first pairing that really, really clicked with me, and I think it unconciously spawned all sorts of different intersts of mine (I swear this was like the gateway fic that led me into twincest, blackcest and spycest, lol).  And like with my other fandoms, a lot of my stories about Popular had been shorter pieces, and this is the one where I really, just went with it and tried to look at what a lengthy and open relationship between Sam and Brooke would be like.

Oooooo, two of my faves on top! *glee* If I remember right, Underneath was actually the first fic of yours I read, and you massively hooked me. xD Not to mention introduced me to your other works, which hooked me on Babs/Helena and later Krista/Chase.

And you're pretty much the ONLY person I've seen that could make the ick that is Twilight seem decent. xD

*sigh* I loved your Blade fics...definitely got the heart going. Has it really been two years now since that showed? *sniff*

huh... I don't think I've read that brooke/sam one
hell is wrong with me?
must go read that now

"Well, This Happened" (along with "A Thin Line") is, without a doubt, my favourite fic of all time, from any fandom. I've lost count how many times I've actually read it. Made Sam/Brooke my ultimate OTP of all time, and all this before I'd even seen a single episode of Popular. That's some powerful writing right there.

Yeah I was really mad too when they cancelled Blade TV series. >(
Didn't know you ficced it. Must read.

i still love cherry lips, crystal ship, batter my heart, and enemy of love along w/ welcome to the fold as my favorite fics you've written. i reread your BoP stuff all the time and remember the "golden age" of femslash. :)

God I love that Popular fic, one of my all time favorites. You are seriously awesome, I mean you made a Twilight fic, a very, very good Twilight fic, that's... almost impossible, you should get a Nobel award just for that.

I'd read them all (and love them) except for Underneath It All. Now I've read that too and I love it! And I had never heard of Emma Frost or read the comics before either. Just have to say that I'm glad I didn't read certain parts in the office. Ahem.

your 'tango in d minor' series is hands down the best serena/blair fic ever. it's so epic i check your lj every day just to see if you've hopefully decided to revisit it... and well 'the edge'. what can i say? i hunger for updates even if i have to deal with this temporary (hopefully) sharing situation.. you're awesomeness.

Wow! I love pretty every story on this... i especially love underneath it all as a story, though the characters in popular are the most fun to read (and write i imagine) and no-one beats serena/blair for otp chemistry! ok im babbling an essay of praise here, but basically you rock ;)
