#I limited this to one per author because otherwise it would've been like a wikipedia filmography section y'know

And top 5 or 10 of your favorite fics

This was actually really hard [hence it took like a week to answer this one, yes]???? But in the interest of doing my best, here's a top 4 Berlermo and top 4 from other fandoms. In no particular order. Both of the fifth spots are reserved for all the other things I hold close to my heart and couldn't bear to choose between [trust me, I tried and it took a week]. So basically all my ao3 bookmarks and all my browser bookmarks--

Berlermo:

Sparkling Dutch Nights by @delirious-and-slightly-murderous Oh I love this one so much, it's the ultimate ESC experience for me for the rest of my life. It's so self-indulgent and I didn't even write it. Dreamy sigh.

A Spanish Tale by @nharidy but technically definitely also @puduhegepa and @roccinan The entire experience, mind. Chaotic beauty. I was super very new here so writing running ramadan telenovela commentary was my first tumblr contribution.

in vino veritas by @sorrydearie The Martín from this story is the one I have put into my pocket and think of fondly when life is otherwise a struggle.

The Time Traveler's Soulmate by @oreo-cookies-fan Jeremias my beloved, never have I ever loved a third wheel like I adore him. I would read 30-75k of just Jeremias but I also really appreciate the timeline crafting, it's gorgeous.

And other fandoms [for trivia knowledge? so that you may psychoanalyse me? I just want to talk about stories that have touched my soul and you have given me an in]:

Breaking and Entering by Resonant This is going to sound awfully dramatic but I define myself by the existence of this piece of literature. Sometimes I remember a quote from somewhere I can't quite pinpoint. And it's always from this fic.

Carved in gold and ice by Chaosandgunpowder This has literally everything I've ever wanted - totally sick but beautiful devotion, masterful outsider POV, the best setup and payoff anyone has ever written.

Keep Back What the Clouds are Hiding by alliterations Why is this so pretty. In so few words. How craft yearning and feelings so beautifully? Not fair.

Early Returns by rageprufrock This one does the no backstory but we have history thing perfectly. I only wish to bring some of this energy into my Berlermo.
