Total number of stories: 7
Total word count for this year: 90,000 k
Total word count for WIPs. None. I have one last gift-fic to write in the upcoming weeks.
The fic:
Title: Domino Effect
Fandoms: Hawaii Five-0
Characters: Danny Williams, Steve McGarrett, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Lou Grover
Summary:Steve didn’t have a choice; he had to run.

Title:Reluctant Allies (Or the Time Frank Had to Bring Home the Devil)
Fandom: Daredevil
Characters: Frank Castle and Matt Murdock

Title: Shadowboxing
Fandoms: Daredevil and Captain America
Characters: Steve Rogers, Matt Murdock, James “Bucky” Barnes (Mentioned) Other Marvel Characters
Word Count: 45k
Rating: T
Summary: It doesn’t matter how many times you fall - what matters most is how many times you get back up. Steve Rogers knew this lesson far too well and it was one Matt Murdock had endured all his life. With both men at their lowest, could a chance friendship bring each of them to their feet again?

Favorite story this year: Shadowboxing. I spent the whole summer writing it and I loved how it all came together.
Most popular story this year: I’m not sure. The whole hits and reviews thing can be misleading depending if something has more than one chapter.
Based on hits for a one-shot: The Gift.
Based on reviews/bookmarks: Shadowboxing
Most underappreciated by the universe: N/A
Most fun story: Shadowboxing
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Shadowboxing. I didn’t realize how much Steve and Matt had in common until I began writing them.
Hardest story to write: Sensorium. It took me forever to write because of the level of detail I wanted to immerse the reader into Matt’s world and his heightened level of senses.
Biggest disappointment: Reluctant Allies (Or the Time Frank Had to Bring Home the Devil). I know it was my first attempt at Daredevil, but I think I’d re-write whole chunks now because I feel like I’d have a better handle on Frank’s character.
Biggest surprise: Kākou. This was a gift-fic, so I was given the prompt, but I immensely lovely writing it. Such a thoughtful, heartbreaking idea that I felt turned into something pretty beautiful.
Most telling story: The Gift. I love Steve and Danny so much and this type of story is really in my wheelhouse.
Overall: It was nice to branch out into another fandom like Daredevil and further into cross-over territory with Captain America. But it was nice to bookend the year with H50.
Ambitions for next year: I’ve been tempted to dabble in Rogue One and Lethal Weapon, but I think I’ll stick with H50 and DD. I’ve been writing fanfic for a very long time and I always will. But I want to see what happens when I take the same time and energy into something of my own.So, I’ll work on a mix of both.
