1. words this year: 174,706

2. works this year: 16

3. most proud of Lure, the ot3 fic I did for merMay: ao3.org/works/47161015

4. most hits wasn't even mha lol, I wrote this plantcest (trigun) smut on my phone when I was supposed to be working... oopsie ao3.org/works/45758386

5. more feedback than I expected: definitely dabihawks, the reaction floored me. that happened mostly on twitter but I'm getting it moved to the archive ao3.org/works/50843653

6. fave title: "your blue" was a happy accident! ao3.org/works/52414096 I was thinking of that pre-dawn blue being hitoshi's color (hello insomnia), but then I looked up the phrase and got meanings like "someone who is your comfort; who takes your worries away" 🥹 perfect

7. If I'm using lyrics in fics, it's kinda always something different. songfic series has a bunch: ao3.org/series/3875212

"I'd give up forever (to touch you)" may be my most egregious example of lyrics-as-title, thank you goo goo dolls ao3.org/works/40822914

8. I wrote so much tdbkdk this year, over 100k of just them

9. tdbkdk was also my *favorite* pairing of the year, but shintodo was my favorite rare pair

10. quickest: this plantcest trigun one-shot is literally so short, less than 2k, and dwarfs everything else in hits?? horny phone drabble for the win: ao3.org/works/45758386 also tokoyami x hawks post-war was fast and pure fun: ao3.org/works/52013389

11. slowest: OT4 vestige realm romp took way too long to write, like... ridiculous. too many limbs 😆 ao3.org/works/46468696 I should probably answer ghostsuki here, but that's mostly downtime jhkhjk

12. wips... I got to 20 and stopped counting lol but I have 5 main wips! 2 ongoing on ao3 and a few secret ones

13. longest COMPLETE work is Lure at 40k: ao3.org/works/47161015

14. shortest is dekushin at 900 words ao3.org/works/52414096

15. taking ghostsuki with me into 2024 :plays clown music: ao3.org/works/40822914

16. most common additional tag is pro heroes (6), followed by first times (4) which were mostly AUs, overstimulation (3) and always mutual pining (3)

17. favorite character to write: katsuki !!!

18. character giving me the most trouble: shouto ??? writing his POV is a labor of love and lemme tell you I must love him a whole lot because I keep picking his POV and then struggling

19. pairing for next year: I'm going to spend some more time with shintodo because there's an archery fic sequel I want to do, but otherwise it's back to tdbkdk longfics

20. I reread seem to shun the most (2022 fic, tho): ao3.org/works/39890046

21. kudos: 2,748

22. most comments: Lure has 77 comment threads ao3.org/works/47161015

23. no collab fics this year, although I'm very grateful to the lovely folks who have beta'd or just helped me talk an idea through

24. I gifted 8 fics; many were songfic prompts, although 3 were for planet bnha! seroroki, ot4, shintodo. I'd like to keep writing treats next year.

25. I received this gorgeous gift for the ot3 round 🥰 ao3.org/works/46478821

26. I only wrote M/M this year, and 1 gen fic

27. I have different playlists for different writing moods... but I listened to unreal unearth a lot no matter what I was writing (hozier)

28. personal favorite was this recent shinbaku fic ao3.org/works/52478260 it wasn't one I planned but it has everything I love and just really hit the spot for me!

29. for a favorite line, that shinbaku again: "You want me to make you cry" and katsuki denying it lol

30. biggest surprise writing this year: I had my most productive writing month ever this May but then I needed a long break to recover after that burned me out.

I guess I learned that I'm a slow and steady writer and that's okay.

so I did a "write every day" goal for nanowrimo rather than a big word count and I'm much happier with that.

okay, that's a wrap :)

No such thing as a clean break

Touya’s had a soft spot for Shouto all his life. Soft as in rotten, like bruised fruit. Damaged Goods. He looks at Shouto and sees all the marks he’s left on him. One slip will destroy them, and if it was only Touya balancing on that knife edge— well, he’s made his peace with that, hasn’t he? Shouto, though… He isn’t sure he can stand by and watch him take that fall.

Shouto won’t let him go, even when he should. So Touya does the only thing he can think of: he tries pushing his brother away.
