Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to five other writers! 💗
To be honest, I cherish everything I’ve written because each piece represents a part of my journey as a writer and offers a glimpse into who I was at the time of writing. I truly enjoy revisiting them from time to time. However, my absolute favorites—and there are quite a few—are:
Baby, you're the only one I'm coming for – This was the first smut I ever wrote, and I had so much fun exploring their dynamics. It holds a special place for being such a milestone in my writing journey.
I can't believe you let him down (but the proof is in the way he hurts) – This was the first truly different piece I wrote, as it wasn’t about my OTP from that show. I ended up writing so much! Back then, 5k words felt like an enormous feat, especially considering I was juggling an 8-hour job. The story just kind of wrote itself, and it only took me about two days to finish.
Me? I will fall in love with you every single day – This story is so sweet and stands out because it pushed me beyond my comfort zone. It features Michael waking up and coming to terms with being in the hospital—something that, at the time, felt really challenging to write. For some reason, it even inspired me to write another amnesia fic for a different fandom! Knowing this story is a favorite within its fandom makes me so proud. I still remember being in a Discord for this fandom and seeing people I admired praise it. They didn’t even realize I was the author because my AO3 and Discord usernames were different—it’s such a cherished memory.
Busco en la memoria una señal (diga que no me olvidarás) – Another amnesia fic and also a fandom-favorite. It’s such a sweet story, and I had a blast developing the plot. I even included a nod to another fanfiction by a well-known author I admire, and she loved it, which made the experience even more special.
May you rise (may we burn) – This is, without a doubt, my all-time favorite. It’s the most different thing I’ve ever written and felt like a significant step forward in my writing skills. It’s also unique within the fandom—at least for Lucemond—because it’s written entirely from a dragon’s POV. That made it feel like such an accomplishment and a true turning point for me as a writer.
Inside of us (a wild thing) – I have to include this one, even though I’m still struggling to finish it. This was my first fic after almost three years, and I was definitely rusty. It’s set in a more medieval universe, which was a significant challenge for me since I’d only ever attempted a historical setting once before. What makes it so special, though, is that the entire plot is infused with all my personal favorite kinks, making the process uniquely enjoyable despite the obstacles.
