Shamelessly snagged from
dolimir_kPost a list of your top five favorite fics you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. this isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most.1)
To Lose ControlAngelus came out to play in 'Eternity', what does that mean for Cordelia and Angel?Well, it's probably not one of my best, but it's one of the first stories that I had a major attachment to, flaws and all. I loved playing with this dynamic, and even did it again, in the next story. (Pre-livejournal story on my archive)
2)
Faded PrayersCordelia waits for Angelus and reflects on what has happened and what is to come. (Post-Awakening.)This was a challenge for YGTS? and was probably not at all what was expected. I don't remember the whole prompt, but it was something about sushi, and this ep, having just aired was very prominently on my mind. It's dark and twisted, but hopeful, and I am really proud of the imagery, and loved the way it just flowed. (Pre-livejournal story on my archive)
3)The Home Series (Pts

2 &
3)
This is a Riley/Xander series, and made me seriously fall for that (too rare)pairing. I haven't put out another story in this for years, but have at least two more on my hard drive that I need to finish. It started out just as an excuse to get them together and have sex, and the fact that I didn't dislike Riley, but hated him paired with Buffy. I still smile when I think of this series.

4)Coke and Sympathy [

Xander and Tara find comfort with each other.Another unusual pairing, and even though Tara was canonically gay, and I got some flack about writing her in a het relationship, I think this works, becuase it was about comfort and understanding, and less about the sex (which is a large part of the story nonetheless). Another YGTS? Challenge, and I really enjoyed writing for that group.
5)Painting My Heart [

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams. (Roswell, Michael Guerin/Liz Parker, NC-17)This was my first foray into the Roswell/polar fandom, and the support that I received for it was amazing, and generated several of the friends that are now on my flist. I love the imagery on this, and the story that it tells. I fell in love with this pairing while writing this story.
And, wow, four of the five are BtVS, none are new than a few years old, and it's kind of sad for me. I do have other stories that could be favorites, but never quite made it to the level of these, or were unfinished. This is almost enough to inspire me to write more and better stories, even though I am going through a dry spell right now...
