Self Rec… um… Sunday

moonwalkingcrab:

I totally meant to do this yesterday and then @cosleia tagged me to do it as well, so here we go, just a little bit late. It’s pretty much a mix of slow burn and outright crack.

  • It’s hard to choose an outright favourite but Life Through Glass (Explicit, ~20k) is probably the fic I am most proud of. It’s essentially a romcom in fic form and pretty much fell out of my head. I really, really enjoyed writing it, especially the interactions between Phasma and Hux, I just love writing banter. I definitely put a lot of my cat-lady tendencies into Hux in this fic, but what can I say, I love making Millie a part of his life.
  • Ebb and Flow (Explicit, ~3k) written for @agent-nemesis Eggstravaganza was the first time I dipped my toe in the oviposition pool and I think it went quite well. It turns out that it’s a tidal pool, with some very friendly tentacle creatures. 
  • One of my shortest fics is Mixed Messages (Teen and Up, 844 words) which is Techienician crack, pure and simple. It’s a fun little fic filled with space clickbait and Techie’s butt’s legendary ability to hack computers.
  • Another of my more cracky fics is On Deck (Mature, 1.5k) in which I am unnecessarily cruel to Lieutenant Mitaka. I like to think I’ll make it up to him in future fics but we all know that being Mitaka is Suffering<sup>TM</sup>.
  • My most popular fic to date is Friends With Renefits (Explicit, ~37k) I thought I’d try to be clever with it and write the entire thing to finish with a New Year’s Eve kiss and post it on New Years Eve. That… didn’t happen. Luckily, I managed to have it finished so that the story could start on Valentine’s Day, end on Valentine’s Day and have the final installment posted on Valentine’s Day. I guess I like gimmicks XD.
  • And it wouldn’t be a Moonwalking Crab rec list without my baby, Aere Perennius (Mature, ~29k) was my entry for the Kylux Big Bang last year. Rereading it now I do wish I had let it burn slower and fleshed out some details but I still love it. I’m a history nerd at heart and just love Ancient Rome, not to mention bodyguard/emperor romance.
