Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (03/04/2024)

Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms.  Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.

Overall:

Over 1,000 Fics:

With your Gosho Boys AU, what are the Gosho Girls up to? Equally crazy shenanigans?

this ask been sitting in my inbox for so long *holds head*

incredibly unrealistic im giving everyone crazy aspiration while being a college student here but whatever made up so many things but IF i am trying to make gag comic with the girlies i suppose it be something like this!! the boys got mysteries as something in common so i had to make up something them :)

I can't find where but theres an interview where gosho mentioned that ran's future has already been decided and foreshadowed. A theory someone made from this is Ran will be an actor (based on that episode where Makoto got hired as an actor) and then retires when she gets married to Shinichi to parallel Yuusaku and Yukiko. NGL i absolutely hate that retiring your successful career for a man part but whatever. Aoyama the misogyny king what else is new. What i'm trying to say is Ran that stars in a commercially successful Black Widow etc etc

Dead Boy Detectives College au!!!!

They all meet as teens then go to college together. Totally aces, am I right?

[deadtwinksdetectiveagency]

Edwin and my take on f!Edwin, to go along with Charles and Charlotte :)

[slinkiezz]

Ok so at women’s colleges in the early 1900s, girls having crushes on girls was pretty normalized.

So imagine if Crystal and Niko start dating, and fully expect to have to explain that girls can like girls and get him through his edwardianness

But Edwin thinks it’s completely normal, confusing them to no end

Hgngngnhn- I always get apprehensive about posting my art on here but I was inspired by the recent Noel discourse and made a little sketch of @izel-scribbles and @potato-lord-but-not ‘s Noels having a little therapy talk.

I hope I did your boys well <3. They are giving me severe brainrot.

Baby Makoto AU Doodle Dump🐣

Hiya everyone! So, I’ve been busy working on some art of this new little concept of mine. It’s been in my head for a while. Ever since I found out Makoto is in fact canonically 3 years old. And then thinking of Number One being a doting single parent to his tiny homunculus clone whom he adopts to keep safe from further experimentation and raises as his own 🥺💕

I’ve seen other people (specifically on twitter) come up with this thought as well. Makoto as a 3 year old child with Yuma as his parent. Honestly other than drawing my favorite characters being sick, drawing them as little kids also brings about a nostalgic comfort to me. Not nearly as much joy as drawing sickies brings me, but it was fun to draw the all powerful CEO as a little toddler curious about the world. He's just a little baby <3

Now I am actually a bit shy and insecure about this idea. Mainly due to people possibly confusing it with infantilization and/or age regression. This is neither of those things. It’s an AU where he just happens to be a toddler. If anything I picture little Makoto to be similar to Anya from Spy x Family. (and the fact they both share a Japanese VA makes this connection even cuter, and he's only one year younger than her x3)

Anyway, I hope you all will indulge in me as I share the art I’ve done of this tiny little homunculus. I probably won’t talk about this au or draw it often due to feeling shy about it, so I just made a full on thread of the doodles if you want to see. I keep them under a read more to prevent spam (and I know not everyone is a fan of this concept)

But if you look, I hope you enjoy!

A little reference of sorts I made of my toddler Makoto design. (though he wears different clothing in every art I do of him lol this just connects his normal purple flowery attire) He is exactly 2 feet shorter than his usual height making him pretty small for a toddler. (but yuma is pretty short too lol and I want him to be able to carry him ;w;)

He has 2 special toys that connect to his other mask designs in the concept art. The teddy bear is his very special possession that Yuma gave him as a present, and the puppet teruteru-bozu is something he made together with Yuma when crafting on a rainy day. (he is so talented preparing him for the future when he actually develops products for the company he will run) The melon ball is based on his favorite fruit, and he has socks and a fuzzy blanket with the pattern of his mask.

In this AU, Yuma retains his Number One persona. He’s not meek apologetic and unsure, he has the confidence of the ultimate detective. But is he confident as a parent? Not in the slightest. But taking care of Makoto teaches him more about being kind and empathetic towards others, and eventually over time he becomes super protective and even at times doting towards Makoto.

Making his personality a bit more bright and pleasant, much like the kind and gentle Yuma that we all know and love. Parenthood causes the serious detective to soften up a lot. And of course this causes Makoto to love and depend on Yuma in return and never want to cause him trouble. (So he puts on a tough act a lot ;w;) However, he almost never calls Yuma dad. He just calls him Yuma. Its very rare that he refers to Yuma as his dad but this is perfectly okay by Yuma. (But when Makoto does call him dad? Yuma feels such unexplainable emotional discord that he almost cries.)

Some more doodles :3

Such a silly little family. I love them so much <3

Why did I think of this AU? Because I want Makoto and pre-game Yuma to not be lonely, be happy together, and for Makoto to have a childhood. Honestly Makoto seems a bit childish and playful in canon too so...

I think I'd like him to have an actual childhood where he grows up comfortable and happy. And in the care of someone who loves him 💜
