ahhh @persnickett snick u tagged me and it took me so long also i loved reading about all your fics hullo i need to go and read your entire works like right now asap immediately.
Alright, fave fics, and the reason why. it's all tmr bc so far tmr seems like the only thing i want to write fic for. i keep waiting for other characters/fandoms to catch me but??? not yet i guess lol.
1. Top Pick: The island, (newtmas 9k T)
island was and will always hold a real special creepy-palm-tree shadow in my heart. i got the idea when i was walking in a tropical forest while on a vacation (remember those?) and Rothko Chapel 2, by Morton Feldman came on my headphones, and then directly after On the Nature of Daylight, by Max Ritcher, and boom, the whole thing was right there. i wrote pretty much all of island in one sitting on the flight back, it was by far the easiest thing i've ever written.
2. Fan favourite: death and all his friends (newtmas 25k E)
the fic, the myth, the legend, the thing that started it all. i'm judging fan-favorite off of kudos, and this magical-realism glittery-death'n ghost-caper is something i'll probably never fully let go of. I've got another sequel idea that i can't seem to shake, and a google doc keeps being opened and jotted in without acknowledgment, which usually means i'm on my way to writing it .
3. Most Me: Carousel (newtmas 80k M)
yeah. yeah. carousel is by far the most me. at least it's the most of myself that i let into my writing without changing it up a bit. i think this was the first time i actually sat down and like...decompressed what the realities of being a kid growing up in a tough spot was like. it was probably second easiest to write, it flowed in the way that most things don't, and carouselthomas+newt are just like....there are a few aspects of them that'll live in my lil cold heart forever. they're mine in a real wild way. at the end of the day i just remember breezes from bullet trains and baking concrete lots with overgrown weeds.
4. The Standout: In Search of a Hollow Tree (newtmas 111K M)
mf hollow tree is how long????? lol??? wild i just clocked that. okay so this was a standout bc i'm genuinely so gd Shook by the response to this fic, it's been unreal. never in a million years did i think my pandemic-coping mechanism playlist would like...become this. but, yeah. it's this. this is that. i love it, and i love them, and how they're all still figuring it out under the big aurora filled sky. pt2 is well under way, and it'll be a while, but i'm already so excited to give anyone that's read this the other half.
5. And last but not least: up, up, and away (minewt 11k T)
by far my least popular fic but your honour i love them. just a really really goofy-fun superhero power AU, featuring all of the genres' greatest hits, such as billionaire playgirl philanthropists, morally-grey bad guys who have confusing tension with the Morally Good Leader of the Gang, and a super-secret-spy-director that runs it all and goes by their first name only, Cher style.
