Hm. I lost a subscriber between the start of the week and today. Wonder what did it in the end.
by hits
MOST:
1. Widow's Moon - SGA Black Jewels fusion: Teyla and team
The fic that makes me wish AO3 had the ability to trackback to where you get linked from. It would be nice to know exactly why this fic has nearly 20K of hits when it's a fusion fic centered around Teyla and the team.
2. And Baby Makes Eight - MCU: Maria & team, Maria/Steve
a.k.a. "epic kidfic." I keep on thinking I'll write the sequel where Pippa brings in the Winter Soldier...
3. Among Other Things - Harry Potter: Scorpius/Rose, Scorpius/various
This is another one which I don't know where the hits came from. Again, not a hugely popular pairing, just...seemed to take off one day. And in the last six months to a year, too. It's a mystery...
4. A Woman Of Edges - MCU: Maria/Steve
No surprises here.
5. Nothing To Lose - MCU: Maria/Steve
None here, either.
LEAST:
A Place To Lay Your Heart - Justice League Unlimited (cartoons): Shayera Hol (23 hits)
by kudos
MOST:
1. And Baby Makes Eight: MCU - Maria & team, Maria/Steve
Kidfic. 'Nuff said!
2. A Woman Of Edges: MCU - Maria/Steve
Relationship development, back in the days when everything was simple and nothing hurt.
3. The Odd Couple: MCU - Maria/Steve
Relationship negotiation in a world of sexism. Featured a pretty explicit acknowledgement of society's sexist bias towards women, and I think quite a few people liked that I addressed the matter. Plus, this was at the height of possibility, just after AoU, but before it became clear that Maria wasn't in CW.
4. wade into the water learn to live again: Rogue One - Cassian/Jyn
Jyn accustoming herself to hands-on Cassian Andor
5. Mako Mori and the Eleventy-One Thousand Bridezillas: Pacific Rim - Mako/Raleigh
I've had a few more hits on this since PR:U came out.
LEAST:
It's a tie! No kudos, not even one. Sanctuary was a very short-running Syfy show back around 2009-2011, and I fell in love with - you guessed it - the secondary female character. It had only a handful of people writing or reading it in any case.
Taking Up The Gauntlet (Or Running With It): Sanctuary (TV) - Kate Freelander/Will Zimmerman
Someone To Hold In The Night: Sanctuary (TV) - Kate Freelander/Will Zimmerman

My stats don't generally change that much anymore: when there are hits in the thousands and kudos in the hundreds, it's difficult to get new eyeballs and appreciation beyond what's already been done.
Also: I finally uncoupled my name from authorship of 'Counterfeit and Counterpart' - not because it's not a fantastic work, just because I've always felt a little bit like a faker: I didn't write the story, I just did the art.
