If I had a nickel for every OTP I have about two childhood best friends who fell in love with each other in their teens without ever telling the other,
but were separated because of their century’s heaviest war,
just for one of them to end up mutilated and lost
while the other found themselves fighting for someone who was actually just exploiting them
and who they had to betray in order to set their lover free,
while proving to the audience their love through a sort of wedding vow that the fandom unanimously recognizes as an iconic line,
then proceeding to be reunited some time later
just for the writers to break them up at the end,
while still exploiting the love between them either for drama or to enhance other storylines,
leaving the fandom to wonder if the hints dropped in time were just random or actual confirmation of their love/happy ending,
I’d have two nickels.
Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice right?

Rules: Give us the links to your fics with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and your fic with the least amount of words.
Thanks so much for the tag @zephfair 🥰
Most Hits: Kintsugi - 7,639 Hits - Matchablossom, SK8 the Infinity - Kaoru has long buried his emotions around relationships and sex, particularly in regards to his feelings about Kojiro, but since his beef with Adam, he isn't sure if he wants to continue keeping himself as buttoned up as he has over the past seven years.
Second Most Kudos: Kintsugi, again - 728 Kudos
Third Most Comments: Stealing My Clothes - 38 Comment Threads - Matchablossom, SK8 the Infinity -
Kojiro didn’t stop teasing Kaoru about it though. He reminded Kojiro of a magpie, only instead of stealing shiny things, he stole well-loved t-shirts and sweatshirts.
or
Kojiro leant Kaoru his favorite shirt once and never got it back because it became a source of comfort for Kaoru. Now Kaoru steals Kojiro's clothes all the time and Kojiro is settling in to being okay with that.
Fourth Most Bookmarks: Gifts - 104 Bookmarks - Matchablossom, SK8 the Infinity - Every year Kaoru asks Kojiro what he wants for his birthday and every year he gets the same answer...that he doesn't want or need anything. Kaoru decides to go all out and spoil his man.
Fifth Most Words: Teaghlach - 36,483 Words - Pynch, The Raven Cycle/Dreamer Trilogy -
The sample size was small, but literally everyone Ronan knew, besides Hennessy and Carmen Farooq-Lane, were having babies.
He didn’t necessarily consider himself the baby having type. Most people would look at him and think that he would be the one to drop said baby. He would be the first to say that his lifestyle was not necessarily accommodating to a baby.
But nonetheless…Ronan Lynch wanted a baby.
_
The one in which Lindenmere manifests a baby and catapults Ronan and Adam into Parenthood
Least Amount of Words: Count the Ways - 281 Words - Mike Chilton/Julie Kane, Motorcity - Mike reflects on all the things he loves about Julie. (I wrote this fic in 2012)
I'll tag @annaofaza @lizpaige and whoever else would like to do this! No pressure either way!

Pod-Together Day 2 Reveals 2023
Fashion is the Armor [text, audio] (Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars - All Media Types)
written by wanderingjedihistorian, performed by kbirb
Summary: It’s not that Fox would have reconsidered things with Bail and Breha if he had known about…this. It’s just that if someone had told him he needed to go shopping for a “proper prince consort wardrobe” and that said shopping trip would make him long for the days of babysitting Senators…well. He’d have figured out some way to avoid this part.
Through Thin Walls (9-1-1: Lone Star (TV 2020))
written by noxsoulmate, performed by Juulna
Summary:“Hey, so please don’t freak out–”
In the next moment, Carlos could hear a thud, followed by a curse, and he was pretty sure the guy had just hit his head somehow. Carlos winced in sympathy.
“Sorry! Sorry, it’s just your neighbor here.”
“Dude,” came the reply, the voice sounding rough, probably from all the crying. “Way to give a person a heart attack. Also, creepy much?”
“My apologies. The walls here are basically paper with some paint slapped on. So uhm… noises are somewhat muffled but… not really, I guess.”
~*~
3 times Carlos only heard his neighbor’s voice, 2 times TK lusted over a certain officer, +1 time it all melted together.

I: Today we’re talking about Sk8 Infinity: Winter Break, the prequel series to SK8 The Infinity. And no, don’t ask us why it’s called that. This is just the anime nonsense that we are here for.

It’s in the last fifteen seconds of the live while Pisaeng is promoting an upcoming appearance at a local music festival that a sleepy weight drops into his lap, changing the entire direction of not only his life but Kawi’s, too.
Sweetly and adoringly, Kawi winds both arms around Pisaeng’s neck, puts his face on Pisaeng’s shoulder, and whines, “Pisaaaeeeng, you weren’t there when I woke up.”
Once More Into the Void (Teen Wolf (TV))
written by melly_diamond, performed by thilia
Summary: Derek Hale has moved on with his life; he has a wife and child now, has rebuilt the Hale house, and is living contentedly in Beacon Hills.
For a while. Until a long-buried evil rears its ugly head and chooses a new target to torment; Lorelei Hale, the nine year old daughter of Derek and Sasha Hale. And when no one, anywhere, can seem to rid the little girl of her interloper, a plea goes out into the supernatural world for their final option, a mysterious being - shaman, exorcist, magic-wielder - known only as M. to save her.
Who is M.? And is he the answer to all their prayers or a whole other problem in itself?
