Thank you so much to the wonderful @haztobegood @disgruntledkittenface and @littleroverlouis for tagging me to share five of my fics that I really like (and bless whomever first framed this game like this and not strictly as favorites - my pathological indecision appreciates you!) Like many others have said, this could be five completely different fics on another day, but on this one, these are the five that drew out the purest urge to pinch their cheeks lovingly as I scanned through my list of works on ao3.
Harry Styles showing up at David Rose’s latest gallery opening is certainly unexpected. The way he saves David not only from his asshole ex but maybe even his own self-loathing is nothing David could have seen coming. And it might be exactly what he needs.
My rarest of rare pairs maybe? Smooshing together two of my beloveds was such a treat. I just really love this Harry - maybe because he’s closest to how I think/hope Harry is in real life. And I'm really proud of how I captured David Rose and managed to sprinkle in Schitt’s Creek tidbits. Plus, writing a non-romantic pairing that still includes a kiss was definitely a new thing for me. This bb has...so few hits and kudos LOL but that was completely expected and I’m just glad there are a few people out there who live in this intersection with me (or were at least willing to give it a whirl).
Harry's penchant for distracting Louis from work in increasingly creative ways leads to exploring a brand new fantasy they both seem to share.
The way the @motorboatrryfest2021 took over my entire damn mind was a complete surprise and a total joy and the five fics I ended up churning out for it are some of my absolute favorites and I’m absurdly proud of every single one. This was the first/only I had planned to write and I just love the mix of humor and fluff and smut. It feels like a good representation of me and my favorite fic writing vibe.
When Joan has to move out of her small, nice home and in with a random roommate, she obviously brings her dog/boyfriend, Doug, with her. Doug makes a friend...and maybe more. SNL sketch (Joan’s Song) AU
This fic is so dumb and I can’t believe I had this idea (I absolutely can), let alone actually delivered on it. It’s just pure fun and I’m so grateful my brain lets me write this kind of nonsense sometimes. That it was the final week of last year’s wordplay and followed three weeks of me writing wall-to-wall smut makes me love it even more.
Harry's never really concerned herself with being part of the popular crowd. But as the new girl in school the second semester of her junior year, she finds herself unwittingly competing for Queen Bee status against high school royalty Louis Tomlinson. Maybe there's more to their rivalry than it seems. A not-quite-Mean Girls AU
I had a blast writing this and re-reading it just makes me happy.
14-year-old Harry is ecstatic to finally be old enough to experience the time-honored tradition of school dances. But with each year that passes and each dance he attends, he’s realizing they’re not all he used to hope they’d be. Especially when he can't actually dance with the person he most wants to. Maybe he and Louis can figure out their own ways to keep dancing, anyway. TPWK-inspired 60s AU
This ‘verse and these sweet boys are so precious to me. I absolutely love this song and I feel like I managed to weave its essence into this story in exactly the way I had hoped to.
