A meme, because I like this one ...

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.

1. Something Biblical (X-Men Movieverse, post-X2) -- What I remember most about writing that story was seeing the prompt before I ever got it and saying, "Holy fuck, if I don't get that, I'm STILL writing the damn story." I'd had thoughts after the second movie about writing an AU story where all of the humans had died thanks to Magneto, and I'd even thought about writing a story where all of the mutants had been killed because they hadn't gotten to Xavier (which I still might write because, really, come on), so I went nuts when I got the prompt and got to run with it. God help me, no one should ever give me a post-apocalyptic idea -- I will devour that fucker.

2. Real Men Don't Make Cheesecake (Supernatural) -- Okay, I pretty much have a deep abiding love for every "Dean gets a hobby" story I've written. Because, seriously, if anybody needs a hobby, it's Dean. But I really love the thought that Dean is secretly fabulous at something he will absolutely never admit to being good at and liking a great deal. And maybe I'm being all stupid but it's the one story I've written in the SPN fandom that I will desperately believe is hardcore canon unless otherwise disproven. Heh.

3. Dark Places Where Monsters Dwell (Veronica Mars) -- You know why I like this one? Because I have no fucking clue where the idea came from. It was one of those times when I sat down at my computer without any sort of idea about what I was going to write about and so I just started writing about Dick Casablancas. And the apocalypse. And a pregnant Mac.

4. I Seek A Silent Fortress (The Shawshank Redemption) -- The weird thing is that I have no recollection of the actual writing of the story, which is probably a good thing. Seriously, I read that thing now and I can hear Morgan Freeman's voice in my head saying all of it.

5. Straight On 'Til Morning (Supernatural) -- Dude, Mary Winchester can kick your ass. KAPOW. :)

As usual, I'm not tagging anyone. *shrugs*

I go back and reread "Real Men" on a regular basis. I love that story so much, it's unseemly. Heeeee!

But for me, "So Lonesome I Could Die" is the one I wallow around in. Absolutely freakin' brilliant. ::shiver::

Real Men is on my half written rec of Hobby!Dean stories. I find it facinating that it is possible to make Dean do pretty much ANYTHING as soon as you can tie it back to helping his family.

I love Dark Places Where Monsters Dwell.

Did someone re-mix this? I seem to remember reading it from Mac's POV

Ookay uber long time lurker (due to your Something Biblical fanfic that I devoured and have since re read an amazing amount of times) and is it bad that I still have dreams and fantasies of you doing some sort of a sequel to it? Anyways just had to say that every story I've ever read by you = many different kinds of awesomness. That's all. I'm going to retreat into the shadows now *disappears*
