I was super busy costuming my opera and didn't answer this when I got it. Then I got another one the other day so I figured I finally should. IDK which of my fandoms this Anon is from so I'm answering this one with my five Hawkeye favs and I'm answering the other with my five Steddie favs tmrw.

At Last - (E) Clint Barton/Bucky Barnes - it's the first in an eight part series called True Colors that I should have made a chapter fic but it was my first fic ever and I was afraid no one would read it so I made the first part able to stand alone. Canon adjacent soulmate fic where the snap made everyone see in grayscale and you can only see in color when you find your soulmate. I wrote it in Jan of 2022 so I'm just about to have my 2 year anniversary 😍

Something to Tweet About - (T) Clint Barton/Bucky Barnes - it's just a little guy (2400 words) but it's cute and I'm told the tweets and the twitter handles are adorable. Plus it features pizza as a love language which - for those of you who aren't Clint fans, is actually one of his languages of love (mine too)

The Happiest Place on Earth - (E) Clint Barton/Bucky Barnes - this is the most meta thing I've ever written. Bucky Barnes works as Disneyland as a character actor. He's 5'9 so he doesn't get to play the Winter Solider because Seb Stan plays him in the MCU and Seb is 6 feet tall. Instead, Bucky plays Hawkeye because Jeremy Renner is only 5'9. Some tall asshole named Clint Barton gets cast as Disneyland's Winter Soldier and Bucky hates him for it. Fuck Clint, seriously.

The Case of the Missing Purple Sweatshirts - (T) Clint Barton/Bucky Barnes - Someone's stealing all of Clint's sweatshirts and when he mentions they have a mystery to solve like the Scooby Doo Gang, he finds out that Steve, Nat and Bucky don't know who Scooby Doo is. So he throws a slumber party. It's fluffy and sweet and it makes me want to snuggle Bucky.

What If Clint Fell - (E) Steve Rogers/Clint Barton - This one is an AU where Clint was born way earlier and he meets Steve and Bucky in the war. And it's Clint who falls from the train, not Bucky. This is a very rare pair but there's a lot of emotional/trauma healing in this fic and I'm super proud of it. It's a series called A Bird By Any Other Name. Part two has Natasha and part three - when I eventually write it, will have Wanda and Pietro.

phoebe!! this is such a brilliant and thoughtful ask game - thank you SO much for thinking to pass it on to me ❤️ also, i am SO sorry that it's taken me a week to actually reply to this 🙈 i saw this, LOVED this, but then had to go to work so didn't have time to answer it properly... and then of course had forgotten completely about it by the time i got back from work. i am literally THE WORST when it comes to answering my asks, istg 🥲

but here we are now! it's monday, and i feel like we could ALL use a bit of self-love on mondays, so i'll be passing this on ASAP once i'm done here. thank you again for thinking of me ❤️❤️and let's do this!!

my top 5 fics that i have written (for my current fandom), in no particular order:

love's a game, wanna play - AKA my fake dating AU, the one that really started it all, the one that's probably still the most self-indulgent thing i've ever written. this is probably the fic i have most enjoyed writing, out of everything i've written - it never fails to make me smile. ❤️ fake dating is just one of my favourite tropes ever, and they're my favourite boys, and.... yeah. MASSIVE soft spot for this one, always. (and yes: i am going to update this one day. i really am. but it might not be soon, because like i said, this fic is one which i genuinely enjoy writing. but currently, my writing is coming more in fits and starts/intermittent writer's block, unfortunately. i feel like i can't truly write a chapter of fake dating until i'm truly ENJOYING writing again. but whenever that is? you can bet there will be a chapter 7, because yeah, i fucking love this fic. it is my BABY. my beloved <333)

you are perfection, my only direction (it's fire on fire) - my dragon riders au, and the one that's my pride and joy for its worldbuilding and just the high fantasy/soulmatism theme of it all. worldbuilding and fantasy and soulmate themes are (you guessed it) some of my favourite tropes to read about, and i am really proud of the way i turned that into writing here 💙

it's you and me, that's my whole world - my prince!charles and his oblivious pining really-dumb-for-an-engineering-student idiot of a best friend pierre. this one just makes me feel so soft and fond whenever i go back and reread it - i just, i love them, your honour. (and charles IS the prince of monaco. the end.) 💜

long live the walls we crashed through - AKA my emotional reaction to the seb retirement announcement (i processed it by making him give relationship advice to half the grid (because why wouldn't i?) and then taking his OWN advice and finally going to talk to lewis.) it's soft and meaningful, and it's sewis, and it's a healthy dose of seb & the grid feels, and it just means a lot to me. a lot. 💚

so i guess all the rumours are true (you know i love a rouen boy) - ahhhhhhh, so, choosing the last one was SO hard for me, but in the end it just had to be this one: my monaco vlog au (AKA the one where i watched charles' monaco vlog in 2022, then rewatched it way too many times until the only thought left in my brain was "oh my god, i have to make this about piarles somehow.) and i did. and i am still very proud and very fond of this one 💛

HONOURABLE MENTIONS (because i can't NOT, and also because choosing was SO HARD for me) to your lips, my lips (apocalypse) and Game For Two and (you are the best thing that's ever been) mine. these three fics are all very special to me, in their own ways, and more than deserve their mentions on my honourable-mentions podium <333 ❣️

thank you again for this amazing ask (and for giving me the chance to go through my own fic archives!) this was an amazing way to make me smile again on a monday evening, and i hope that this answer might make some of you reading it smile too <333 ily all!!
