Hi, for the ask game:

🔥What are your favourite three fics that you wrote and why?

Thank you! 🥰 I probably should use this as an excuse to revisit some of my older fics, but off the top of my head my three favourites are:

Maybe Romance Is A Place - There's definitely some recency bias here, but I'd had the premise in my head for so long that it was a genuine relief to finally get this story written down on paper. It was enormous fun to write; one of those stories that just took hold of me and wouldn't let me go until the final sentences were written. It also marked my first time writing smut and apparently my attempt didn't turn out too badly so that was a relief 😅

Watch Our Souls Fade Away - To this day I have zero idea how I managed to write a 61,000 word fic in the space of a couple of weeks back in 2018, but I miss that intense motivation every time I remember this fic 😅 This story remains my most popular fic by a wide margin, which was a lovely - albeit unexpected - surprise at the time seeing as it focuses on a female character who hadn't yet become a main lead in her franchise, but I loved exploring Nebula's complicated inner life and on revisiting the fic recently I've found that it holds up better than I thought it would (could probably do with a little bit of editing but I'll leave it alone for now...) 💜

You've Always Been Here - My first time writing anything Arctic Monkeys-related and therefore my gateway into a truly lovely writing community. This fic also allowed me to embrace pure self-indulgence for the first time and I enjoyed every minute. I'm definitely not immune to the desire for feedback and engagement with my stories, but I had such a sense of freedom while writing this one knowing that I was only making it for myself and my friend - the fact that other people over the years have told me they enjoyed it (and that it even sparked a tie-in fic from the lovely @alexgoeshome) was a lovely added bonus 🥰

#still such a good fic #thank you for letting me use it as inspiration!
