It's my Ao3 anniversary today; I first made my account 15 years ago! Let's go back and look at some of the fics I'm proud of, from oldest to newest.

A Piece of Rebellion was the first fic I wrote that Got Big, as well as the first chaptered fic I wrote that I finished. As a canon divergent AU that followed most of the same beats as canon, it was pretty simple to actually finish, and though I cringe at parts of it now, I met so many cool people through writing it! Has a sequel that I swear to god I will finish one day.

Coinverse, a Lego Ninjago AU, starts with forgetting the coin for the ferryman, about Morro getting inexplicably resurrected and going to live with Cyrus Borg for some reason. Some other stuff happens. This is also old to the point that I cringe at it, particularly the first fic (I wrote it in a 2 month frenzy and it shows), but I'm happy with it & am still continuing the series. I swear to god. I have a whole 'nother fic after drinking from the river finishes up I'm not letting this die.

Read my experimental Nya-centric post-Skybound fic where I spell Delara's name wrong the whole time.

I wrote this for my boyfriend about our Ninjago kins interacting before we started dating when I had a massive crush on him that I wasn't telling him about. And you wonder why I kinned Thespius Green.
OK Ao3 embeds are tormenting me by not working so we're gonna skip a few fics… I'm proud of Earthtones, my Cyrus Borg/Dareth Ninjago fic, as well as some misc. oneshots, but we've got to move on to the recent ones.

The Lock and the Key was for a few years The Best Thing I Wrote, and I'm still very proud of it. It's centered around Harl Hubbs and Tippy Doorman in the AU where Paradoors is real & Tippy ascends to godhood. It's good! Has a sequel that I haven't posted anywhere yet.

Chairman Rose from Pokémon Sworf and Shield be upon ye. I'm down bad for him and this fic was my attempt to justify why.

This isn't really the newest fic on this list, because some of the first chapters are over a decade old. I finished it in January 2025 after fifteen years of work! It is still very personal and important to me. Also has a lot of Team Magma + Giratina and the Sky Warrior stuff.

I wrote a lot of Great God Grove fics in the past year, and while this one isn't chaptered, I wanted to share a completed one that I'm proud of. So, the Milldread Fire! I like it alot.
I put 118 fics on my Ao3 over the last 15 years, and some of them are even good. I'm not married to the website, and have considered taking my fics off it more than once, but right now it's the most social place to share fanfics, so I guess I'll stay with it!
