Of all of your works, which do you think is:
The Funniest: oh god, this is impossible to answer. You know what, I’m going to go with Bad Altitude because I think it’s hilarious. Drugged Natasha scaring the hell out of Felicity! Never calling her the right name! Focusing on entirely the wrong details as they’re about to die!
The Most Romantic: I’m gonna give this one to Pink Drinks and Pick-Up Lines. They’re my NOTP now but dear god did I have a blast writing the flirting in that one.
The Most Unusual: That time I turned the Avengers into pirates and made Natasha secretly the daughter of Peter the Great, for sure. Or that one I wrote from the POV of a training dummy. It’s a toss-up.
The Scariest: Not really my forte. Maybe The 405 Gets Plowed because I find the Adorable Psycho terrifying.
The Sexiest: The ONE and ONLY time I have ever written smut, I guess. Frissy wrote the good bits. I wrote the dirty bits.
The Saddest: It has a happy ending but Letters Never Sent strikes me as deeply sad. At least the actual never sent letters were.
The Prettiest: My aborted attempt to write canonical Downton Abbey times just...I had so much fun with that writing style. Plus banter! “I mostly stick to my bicycle, and you can’t really hunt foxes from that.” / “I imagine it confuses the hounds, also.”
The Most Exciting: Supervillains Anonymous, and yes I’m including my goshdang novels in this. That book was just nonstop. #Herofail is attempting to top it, though.
The Happiest: I already used Pink Drinks on this list, even though I do feel that one qualifies. So I’m gonna go with Set, Spike, Dive! because that fic was both joyful and a catharsis.
The Most Realistic: Absolutely no idea. I write about spies and superheroes, this isn’t fair. The most accurate title I have is Cats Are Weird.
The Most Fantastical: Second Skin, which is also my most problematic. I wanted to write Natasha as a rusalka and in at least that I succeeded!
The Most Complex: Even though people still bitch that it’s unfinished (it’s not, I just couldn’t give another three years to that fic), I think What Fates Impose remains that story to this day. I mean, it was the most ambitious, plus it was intensely third person limited with an unreliable narrator. And the style I chose didn’t allow for great skips in time.
The Simplest: Ex-Girlfriend Club. Wrote it a night, didn’t add any frills to the plot. Laurel used the most direct and brutal means to solve a problem. Grenade launcher + shotgun = solved.
The Closest to What You Wanted It to Be: Counterfeit and Counterpart, for sure. It’s required the most extensive rewrite of any of my fics, but I wanted a deep dive into an uneasy-yet-magnetic friendship and I think that’s what I got.
Tagging @obishenshenobi, @kaleidoscopes-and-carousels, @hjea, @a-windsor, @jewishsuperfam (even though I know you’re in Portugal).
