I want to say that 2022 wasn't a great year for fic for me.
I mean, I wrote/added to 20 stories, but...IDK. I used to write dozens, possibly even hundreds? I know, I know, old glories, etc.
Forthwith, my 2022 fics, both the ones that were brand new and the ones that were added to:
new
Choose And Chosen - Torren John Emmagan, John/Teyla/Rodney/Ronon, written for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
holly_poly 2021.
Torren Emmagan of Athos grows up in Atlantis thinking his family is normal.
To Have And Be Obvious About It - MCU, Maria/Steve, the next chapter in the Meeting Halfway series.
The hard truth is that what Steve wants isn't marriage so much as the right to have Maria acknowledge him publically.
Hunted And Hounded - MCU, Maria & Bucky, unfinished WIP
The flick of light scattering across silver segments was all the warning Maria had.
Introduction to Kaiju, Jaegers, and Pilots: a literary genre of heroes and villains - Pacific Rim, gen, written for theworldbuildingex exchange.
Formed Not Declared - Bridgerton, Kate Sharma/Anthony Bridgerton, an alternative take on the backend of Bridgerton S2, which never quite got off the ground in the end.
In the froth and flutter of the season, the ton - and royalty - so easily forget this simple truth: a diamond is formed, not declared.
a momentary encounter in the morning - Bridgerton, Kate/Anthony, modern meet-cute, another one-shot that could be used as a starter for a longer story
She's on her morning run. He's doing the walk of shame. It's totally destiny.
The Woman That I Cherish Is Enamoured Of A Fool - Bridgerton, Kate/Anthony, drama
Anthony faces the consequences of his own cruel words.
dawn steals softly - Bridgerton, Kate/Anthony, moments in the morning
The sun rises swiftly along the wadi, shifting the colours of the sky above Kate from pale grey to rose to saffron dawn, before the brightness of the day bursts into the vivid gold of the early morning.
a most pitiful business - Bridgerton, Kate/Anthony, the wedding we should have gotten to see.
This time, it's not just the prospect of being wedded that Anthony wants, but the marriage he intends to make with Kate.
a choice made - Bridgerton, Kate/Anthony, childbirth
Anthony realises more of his memories hold old shadows while Kate is pregnant with their child.
upon thee I bestow all my worldly goods - Bridgerton, Kate/Anthony, humour.
A small disagreement over the matter of the marriage contracts.
A Fluster Of Bridgertons - Bridgerton, Kate & the Bridgertons, humour and affection.
Kate's new siblings-in-law are a terror and a delight.
ladies with an attitude, fellas that were in the mood - MCU, Maria & Steve, celebrity AU
To Honour, To Cherish, To Protect, To Serve - Bridgerton (TV), Anthony & Edmund Bridgerton, Black Jewels AU
The life of Anthony Bridgerton, Warlord Prince of the Blood, is about to change forever.
Suited For Birtdays - MCU, Maria/Steve, the next chapter in the Meeting Halfway series.
The 'Star Spangled Man With A Plan' has intentions for his birthday.
A Ridiculous Jurisdiction - MCU, Maria/Steve, the next chapter in the Meeting Halfway series.
When the hell did her life become so damn complicated?
Love Is Holy - MCU, Maria/Steve, the next chapter in the Meeting Halfway series.
Now, affection wells up in Steve's throat for those short years and what they gave him – a body that could do more than merely survive, a space in the world to do good and people to do good with, a fight that was worth his heart and soul and strength and mind.
Get of the Mountain - Dragon Prince series (Melanie Rawn), Aldiara, Yuletide
Since the days of Lord Rosseyn, diarmadh'im have lived in the shadows. After the Vellanti War, that's going to change.
The Warlord Prince Who Loved Me
Kate Sharma arrives at Lady Danbury's court in London with only the recommendation of her stepmother. She's about to turn London Society - and the life of Anthony Bridgerton, Warlord Prince - on its head...

added to
The Gathering Clouds - MCU, Maria/Steve, Psy-Changeling AU
--
The unexpected fannish addition this year was Bridgerton, which was fun but also kind of frenetic. And still is, particularly if you're a part of Kanthony fandom. I'm not - not really. I like it, but I can't keep up and I'm not obsessive about it. I'm basically a no-name-fan in Bridgerton, although I have a handful of people from other, old fandoms who have me on their AO3 notification list and came back to read my Bridgerton stuff, so that's neat.
I'm also participating in the '31 Days of Winter' for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
crazy4orcas whom I first knew in SGA fandom a decade and change ago. Kim died earlier this year after a long battle with cancer, and while she and another fannish friend started this as a '31 Days of Clintasha', I'm afraid I'm going to dilute it with other fandoms/pairings that we shared.

The plans for 2023 involve:
1. finishing Meeting Halfway - one more story to go, and it's a DOOZY.
2. finishing The Gathering Clouds (honestly, I'm not sure I can; I have a plot but actually completing it is seriously beyond my capabilities anymore)
3. finishing The Warlord Prince Who Loved Me (again, may be beyond my capabilities).

Weird Numbers
My top five by hits are from five different fandoms:
1. And Baby Makes Eight - MCU
2. Among Other Things - Harry Potter Nextgen
3. Widow's Moon - Stargate Atlantis
4. Even Cowgirls Get The Blues - Justice League Animated
5. Hot Water - Percy Jackson
That's really odd, because for years my top five by hits were MCU.
My top five by kudos are:
1. And Baby Makes Eight - MCU
2. a most pitiful business - Bridgerton
3. wade into the water, learn to live again - Rogue One
4. A Woman Of Edges - MCU
5. Battle, A Different Kind - Mulan
I'm sure the Mulan one crept up this year. I don't remember it being this popular in previous years. And of slots #6-#10, four are MCU, and one Pacific Rim. Interesting!
Top five by subscriptions are:
1. formed, not declared - Bridgerton
2. a most pitiful business - Bridgerton
3. The Gathering Clouds - MCU
4. And Baby Makes Eight - MCU
5. the wisdom to know the difference - MCU
Those three MCU fics are waaaay down, btw - only in the 80s for subscriptions, vs 250s for the Bridgertons. Obvs Bridgertons are far more popular.
Top five bookmarked are:
1. And Baby Makes Eight - MCU
2. a most pitiful business - Bridgerton
3. wade into the water, learn to live again - Rogue One
4. A Woman Of Edges - MCU
5. Even Cowgirls Get The Blues - Justice League Animated
It's interesting to see just how things have shifted in the last year. Also, kind of weird writing for a popular pairing in a megafandom again (Kate/Anthony in Bridgerton).
Man, I'm tired.
