Five Favorite Fic ... That I Wrote

chrisleeoctaves tagged me to do this meme:

Post a list of your top five favorite fics you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

To the Waters and the Wild. BtVS, Dawn/Other
My first entry for the Lyric Wheel Challenge and it came out better than I hoped. I had been to Ireland and I wanted to write something that used Ireland as a setting and this came along. Well, it was fun to write and remember and I still love it. It's a little ambitious at times, but I still adore it to pieces. It's one of those things I go back to re-read when I'm floundering and doubt that I have any talent at this writing game at all.

If You Would Be True, Love. Roswell, Max/Liz
Guh! I wrote this VERY early on in my fandom experience and I actually pretty much hated it because there was DIALOGUE. I believe it was my first fic that included actual conversation. Maybe the fourth one overall. Moonwhip, my beta at the time, read it, loved it and declared that I should take a break from it and come back with fresh eyes. I did and realized that it wasn't the piece of shit I thought it was. I read it and I still love the language and the imagery and it still evokes, for me, feelings about the pairing.

When in Dreams I See Her. Angel, Angel
I love this for the same reason that I love IYWBTL. It was fluid and easy to write. I also love it because when I wrote it, it had nothing to do with Angel. Not really. It was all about those damn mermaids. I heard a piece of classical music, I still don't remember what it was, and it made me think of mermaids. There are problems with the piece, but those mermaids are perfect and I love them!

eyes like the summer, all beauty and truth. Firefly, Mal/River
I just love this. From beginning to end. I love Eden March, a complete OC, but with plenty of personality. I love the rhythm and the language and River just Spoke to me. Mal was a dream and ... yeah! Just love!!


A Tale of Heaven. BtVS, Buffy
Another slightly abstract, teeny bit disturbing and it's got the lyrical quality that I love and I might have written it all in one go. Very short, but sweet and I never get tired of reading it.




I don't know all of who has done this already but I'll tag:
glossing, thawrecka, moireach.

Oh, I'll have to think of two more tomorrow. I'm running late. OUT!!
