AO3 stats game

I was tagged by @ilthit Sorry for the wait! Rarely on my desktop and this kind of thing is hard to do on my phone. For people not familiar with me I’m Terias on Ao3. I’ve been thinking of porting my old FFN fics over for posterity too. lol but I wrote a lot when I was young and inexperienced.

Rules: Give us the links to your wonderful words with the most hits, most kudos, most comments, most bookmarks, most words, and least words.

Most hits: Harry Potter and the Viper’s Chess , This fic was entirely a work of spite (before I even knew JKR was a raging anti trans ass) because I was tired of Slytherin Harry fics that turned into male power fantasies or had him as an edgy harem gatherer (LOL what?!). Probably has the highest hit count because it’s one of the most popular fandoms I was ever in and was my first work posted on Ao3. 

Most kudos: Portal Fall  Avengers x Big Hero 6 crossover. Wrote it because the BH6 ending felt weird to me. Hiro ended up NOT making it back to his universe.

Most comments: The Penny That Bought A Palace  an unfinished collaboration done with my spouse. My Hero Academia fic, ship is future Erasermight. Basically a ‘All Might is in really bad shape’ fic. REALLY BAD SHAPE. From his POV. He basically gets hospitalized and it throws the world into chaos but he doesn’t even know the full extent of things. So kind of a mystery to the reader too? I hope my spouse gets their mojo back for writing it because it feels weird to write for it without them.

Most bookmarks: Also Portal Fall. 2nd is TPTBAP. 3rd is When in Doubt a FF7, omegaverse fic where Cloud wakes up and mistakenly thinks he time-traveled, and then dimension-traveled after he learned about Designations. He’s wrong. 

Most words: Harry and the Three Knights at a wild 267k words, it surpasses the word count of any of my other fics by double. It’s the 4th installment of the Lionsnake Chronicles. I had planned for 7 installments but a few chapters into writing the 5th one I rage quit because JKR went full monty with her anti trans bullshit. (I am feeling my spite grow again so expect me to start writing the series again and making it as queer as fucking possible [which I had more or less already planned for] but I’m gonna do it even more)

Least words: Clocking in at 804 words is a G rated drabble in the My Hero Academia (Erasermight) fandom is Effortless with its own podfic courtesy of a03 user TinFoilHat

I'm tagging (it’s okay not to play!) @oh-no-boi @ms-demeanor @cryptid-crawly @moosephu @toastyglow (and even if you’re not tagged you can still play!! I just didn’t want to spam people)

[koalas-koalas-everywhere]

I know that I became a Mentalist blog for like a month there and that I haven't had news about WLWAAOD for ages, but IT'S HAPPENED. WE HAVE A CONFESSION, FOLKS.

It only took like 267k words! And it's in a scene as long as the first chapter. But, you know, Mercelot confession! Yay!

[blue-tomoshibi]

April showers May bring Fox-Girls? It's Fox-Girl Friday!

Chapters 83 and 84 are now live!!

What is this?

An original story about a boy and his kemonomimi companions traveling through the modern (but magical) world of Riterra. Though it's not always easy as they seek companionship in a world rapidly trying to objectify and commodify them.

What should I expect?

-Kemonomimi story where the cat-girls don't just go "nya" and have actual character to them. -Modern setting, similar though different to real life at the same time -Magic and spell-casting system complete with elemental affinities and other aspects naturally integrated in the narrative -There will be battles; we have "Hunters" and "Duelists" make of that what you will. -Slow building romance, but no smut, we're PG-13 here, most you're going to see is some hugging and maybe a kiss or two -Very cute fluffy slice of life elements to help break up the drama (one reader constantly raves about the cuteness) -Currently at 90 chapters totaling over 267k words -Two chapters a week with plenty of backlog to ensure I can keep up that upload pace -If you're looking for something to get invested into in the long run this is your story! -Best part: IT'S FREE

I would love to have you as a reader, please check it out! If you already have a Royal Road account, follows are greatly appreciated, just knowing my work was worth clicking that button is worth its weight in gold~

1796 Broadway (ao3) - rainproof, teaberryblue steve/tony, bruce/natasha M, 460k

Our main protagonist is Eddie Brock, infected by Venom, caring, loyal, brave, and looking for love. He'll go through hardships, heartbreaks, and tons of melodrama all for a taste of both excitement as well as normalcy.

Summary: A gun is pointed at him before he can even move from his position, the Soldier's metal arm steady in its aim. Clint sighs.

"Nemo," Clint says. "It's tattooed on your wrist, right here," he lifts his right hand and taps his left index finger where his palm ends.

The Soldier's eyes widen. "How do you know this?"

"I put it there."

Riding Out the Day's Events (ao3) - GlynnisIsta8 darcy/steve, jane/thor M, 381k

The Many Doors of Níu Heimar (ao3) - nixajane loki/steve M, 77k

Summary: In the weeks before Thor's coronation, Loki almost dies, not once, but twice. (An AU in which events conspire to keep Loki from the choices he made in Thor, a war is on the horizon and the chosen battlefield is Earth, and the Avengers assemble with an extra teammate and one less villain to fight).

The Perfect Weather (ao3) - Fraulein clint/darcy G, 10k

The Ransom of Tony Stark (ao3) - antigrav_vector implied steve/tony M, 16k

Summary: Peter gets stuck in a time loop. In it, he lives through some of his worst nightmares, only to wake up that morning and have no one remember. He needs Tony to help him get through.

And if that isn't bad enough, his identity is revealed over and over, every day.

Who Has Known Heights (ao3) - MountainRose, szzzt steve/tony E, 72k

Summary: Before his injury, Tony had been a fast, intuitive flier: agile in the air, as those of his wingshape usually were, able to tumble and swoop and then trade back the speed for lift, and always get the best of the bargain.

That was how he referred to it; not 'abduction' or 'captivity' or 'maiming' but injury, the most neutral word possible. Though Steve had never, not once heard him call it an accident.

[spacejunk-tm]

that’s a....lot of 1′s 

[lightspren]

someone talk to me about wheel of time. tomorrow. bc i’m gonna go back to reading it now. but I’m on book 3 of my re-read, and my husband and I have been discussing it together for literally over a decade, and don’t get me wrong that’s still awesome, but also I need more people to be excited about it with me. thanks bye.

[orcelito]

Ok I just realized 52k is the most I’ve Ever written anything solo, and that’s pretty cool!!!

Looking at my writing stuff for nico, I’ve done like... ok Backstory Tales has 24k words and Side Story has.... 12k. Could’ve sworn it was longer but w/e.

My JOURNALS document has uh. Oh fuck that’s 115k words. But I don’t think that counts for the solo writing cause it’s not like it’s a cohesive piece. It’s just me dumping dnd thoughts lol. Still a lot though.

Our Absolute Favorites

Earning The Okay - Chapter 1 - Alia_JuneBug - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

Peter Parker is absolutely fine. Never mind the fact that he's Spider-Man and dealing with an abusive uncle. Enter Tony Stark, The Avengers, an internship opportunity, and a homeless guy named Walt. Now we watch Peter try to keep everything a secret. Because that always turns out well.

(147k words)

The Third Option - Uncertainty_Principle - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

Homecoming A/U.

Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.

So he leaves.

Simple.

Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.

And that’s when things get complicated.

Identity Theft - Chapter 1 - KitCat992 - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

It's been months since the events of Civil War, and the Avengers are doing their best to remain a team, having promised to forgive and forget. Unfortunately for them, Tony Stark's latest invention has been stolen and recovering it causes tension to reappear.

Meanwhile, in Queens, Peter Parker has two main priorities on his plate — complete his midterm finals, and track down a fishbowl wearing criminal that may or may not lead him right into the hands of the Avengers.

Somehow between all of this, Spider-Man's identity is revealed to the Avengers, Steve and Tony's friendship may permanently be damaged due to continued hidden secrets, and Happy struggles to buy a youth-sized casket for Peter's funeral.

Things were a lot easier when they were fighting over Bucky Barnes.

(Or: The Avengers welcome Peter into their crazy superhero family and will do anything to protect him.)

Shameless Peter whump and Protective Tony Stark.

A Peter Parker Problem - Chapter 1 - spagbol99 - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

Peter Parker was back from the dead. At least that is what everybody told him. He'd been snapped out of existence until some sort of time travel and an active death wish by his mentor had saved him and the universe. Just your average sort of life for a 16 year old from Queens.

Peter comes back to find May has a husband and a kid. A new family he has to fit into. But he has done it before, he can do it again.

The only thing that feels solid is Tony: the Blip and fatherhood have mellowed him and Peter loves the bond they have now. He knows Tony would be there for him through anything. But Tony needs to focus on his own recovery - not small time Peter Parker problems. When things at home take a turn for the worse, Peter decides that he'll handle it himself. He is Spider-man. He's been to space and fought aliens. He can get through anything. After all, if May is happy, he is happy, right? Right?

Family Don’t End With Blood - Squibbles94 - Marvel Cinematic Universe [Archive of Our Own]

“I had Pepper and my retirement. We had Morgan and I had a chance not to screw things up anymore. I had everything I wanted. Except you. You deserved better than being stuck inside a rock because I was too afraid to lose what I had. That’s why I did what I did. You.”

In which Peter comes back from the soul stone to find everything changed.

Or

Peter whump? Check. Tony adopting Peter? Check (Sorry May). Kidnapping? Check. Torture? Check. Tooth rotting fluff? Check. Self preservation? Missing.

Keep Bending; Don't Break - Chapter 1 - dreadmyquill - Spider-Man - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Peter Parker has been kidnapped by HYDRA and doesn't know what to expect, especially after he is joined by super soldiers Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes. Peter hasn't encountered the rogue Avengers since the events of Civil War, and Tony Stark is still the only Avenger who knows Spider Man's secret identity. The three kidnapped heroes are quickly forced to learn to trust one another as a group of calculating HYDRA scientists begin a series of frightening and painful experiments on each of them. How long can they hold on in captivity? Will they be able to fight their way out? Will the other Avengers rescue them before the experiments have shattered them both mentally and physically? Only time will tell.
