Thank you for tagging me @pterawaters!
So I posted...a lot last year. It’s very hard to narrow it down, especially as one of my five is going to be an edit rather than a fic. But I’m gonna try! These aren’t in order of which is my absolute favorite because that would be impossible haha.
1. Steve Harrington - The Comeback Kid gifset
It’s the first time I tried out blending. And the first time I tried to make an edit with a song that I felt really fit a specific character. Every time I listen to The Comeback Kid, I picture Steve and all the things he’s been through and the way he keeps getting up, so it seemed perfect! And I’m just really proud of how this turned out when I finished it!
2. if we could start again - post-S2, pre-Stoncy hurt/comfort fic
I can’t even explain why I love this so much but it’s been one of my favorites since I posted it. Kind of dipping my toes into the angst pool again after basically writing nothing but fluff all year. While also still getting that nice hurt/comfort in there! I love Season 2 of the show and love seeing what might have happened when everyone met back up at the Byers’, so it was really fun getting to write my own version of it!
3. The Safety of Your Arms - post-S3, pre-Stoncy hurt/comfort fic
Hmm, I am perhaps sensing a trend...This is another one that’s been a fave since I posted it. I go back to reread it whenever I need some good ‘ol Steve-centric hurt/comfort haha. This is one where I had little moments in my head that didn’t get written into the work but are still there (at least, I think they still kind of show through) and idk. It’s the only time I’ve ever actually managed that!
4. the devil on my shoulder - The Babysitter (McG), darkish manipulation fic?
Not the kind of fic anyone’s following me for, but one that I am super proud of anyway.I’m still stoked that it’s gotten more than one comment when I expected only the prompter would read it when it was posted.I didn’t think I was even going to end up writing for the prompt because I hadn’t gotten an idea the whole month. But one morning I decided to try to write snippets of moments that would lead to the ending I wanted and I got the whole fic written in half a day. It’s a little weird, it’s a little dark, the relationships are unhealthy, and I love every word of it.
5. to hold you in my arms - post-S3, pre-Stoncy hurt/comfort fic
HUH THAT TREND CONTINUES...See, the thing is, I’m not great at get together fics so I just write a bunch of pre-relationship fics instead! This one was so nice to write. The prompt I wrote it for just spoke to me, like, right away. I love the way it all turned out. I feel like it’s one of my better pieces, tbh, especially with the emotions? Which I feel like I struggle with a lot in my writing. This one wasn’t necessarily easy but it was a delight to write and I like to reread it when I need a pick me up. :)
