Fandom breakdown:

Leverage: The Trouble With Secrets, Being Cool, Cryptic Shenanigans, In Safe Hands, The One Step Too Far Job, Hall of Mirrors, One Year On,
Downton Abbey: Finding A Place
Leverage/SPN: We Pass In the Night
Leverage/OFAH: Only Fools and Sophies
Best of the batch: I think probably ‘The One Step Too Far Job’, although that’s just my opinion.
Most popular: ‘Pages Turn’ - probably by default as it was written for the big bang.
Most underappreciated by the universe: Follow You Home or Calver Ridge. I’m not sure which.
Most fun to write: Oh, ooh, I enjoyed writing most of these! I really enjoyed working on Life After You but I think I have to go with The One Step Too Far Job.
Sexiest fic: Enclosed Spaces as a fic as a whole but I think the sexiest scenes I wrote were for Pages Turn.
Fluffiest fic: Sweet Cravings (it has Jensen as a baker, it was bound to be fluffy!)
Most angsty: Hmm, lots of these are angsty (The One Step Too Far Job has all the Nate/Eliot angst mixed in with angst about Moreau, Life After You has all the Stanford angst, Pages Turn has Jensen’s angst) but I’d say Follow You Home is probably the most angsty as it deals with Sam’s addiction to blood and what it led to in S4.
Most canon: Probably Finding a Place
Least canon: Calver Ridge - an AU in which Dean was kidnapped as a kid.
"Holy crap, that's wrong even for you" fic: I don’t actually think I’ve written one of these this year!
Fic that shifted your own perceptions of the characters: The One Step Too Far Job - it really made me realise things about Nate and Eliot that I hadn’t noticed before and I also tend to watch earlier episodes differently now in accordance with my head canon that developed because of this fic.
Best title: Too Green To Be Cool
Hardest fic to do: Probably Calver Ridge - it was the first long fic I really wrote.
Biggest disappointment: The Jeff/Jensen fics I wrote - it’s a pairing I love but I wasn’t really pleased with how my writing of them turned out.
Biggest surprise: The flashbacks in The One Step Too Far Job - I didn’t start writing them until about halfway through the writing process but, if I’m honest, I think that they complete the fic and give it a totally different tone to what it would have been without them.
Popular themes: Hunts gone wrong, angst, fluff, Jared and Jensen meeting each other, Nate and Eliot angst
Most unintentionally telling: Um.
Unfinished fic carried over into the new year: It’s not been posted anywhere but the biggest unfinished fic I’m still working on is the Stanford AU fic.
Unfinished fic that will stay unfinished: I don’t actually think there are any!
