Description:

Inspired by Astolat's excellent idea, this series will regroup my favourite fics amongst the ones written and posted here.

It'll usually have about 10 works and will be edited every now and then (since, well, I'm hoping to keep improving).

Order doesn't matter at all.

If you're interested, you can read why I've picked each work in the Series Notes :)

Enjoy your read!

Notes:

Breakfast (Reservoir Dogs - Orange/White)
One of my earliest fics in English, and while it owes a LOT to Fitzcarraldo's beta in how good it turned out, I'm still proud of myself for the dialogue and lines, so I think it deserves to be here.

The Ghostmaker's hand (Torchwood - Pearl/Ghostmaker)
Not only a rarepair, but an episode-related rarepair. I was so moved by "From Out of the Rain" that I wrote this pretty much immediately after seeing it. Rereading it now, I like how poetic it is, I haven't watched the episode since but if that's what I got out of it, then I'm happy with it.

Weekend in Sendai (Haikyuu!! - Kuroo/Tsukki)
Now we've moved on to 2017! Haikyuu has been super important to me in the last few months. Not only is it a great series, but it's boosted my productivity and made me come back to fandom and fanfics. KurooTsukki is one of the biggest OTPs I've ever had, so logically I wrote a lot about them.
This fic is my longest multichapter in English, and I'm really happy with it overall. It started as pure fluffyness and then got serious and emotional and I'm happy with how I balanced it all.

What happens when mental pictures are no longer enough (Haikyuu!! - Kuroo/Tsukki)
Before even starting Weekend in Sendai, there was the "Practice Makes Perfect" series, which is set during the Tokyo training camp in season 2. This is the last fic in the series (I might write more someday but they'll be set before that) and i think it's a good way to end it. Also there's a bit of humour in there that I like.

As a courtesy between captains (Haikyuu!! - Kuroo/Tsukki, Daichi/Suga)
Possibly the cutest thing I will ever write. Ever. Combines two of my OTPs and allowed me to look at Kuroo & Tsukki from the prism of adulthood, now that they don't have to do the long-distance thing any more, which really warmed my heart. I just love those guys so much <3

Improvised Slumber Party (Haikyuu!! - Kageyama/Hinata, Daichi/Suga, Kuroo/Tsukki, Bokuto/Akaashi, Asahi & Noya and lots of others)
My longest one-shot to date, and I had a tremendous amount of fun writing it. I love using lots of different characters and points of views, and it was really hilarious trying to imagine those guys' antics. Also I lost Daichi several times in there, the poor boy is in way over his head, he has no idea.

Patterns (Haikyuu!! - Daichi/Suga)
I am really happy with how sweet and fluffy I've made this fic. It was my first for this couple (who are basically my second OTP after KurooTsukki in case you haven't guessed) and it was a really nice way to start.

Shopping (also known as: Torture) (Haikyuu!! - Takinoue/Shimada)
Oh, a rarepair! I should probably be ashamed of this one because my sense of humour is weird but. I. Love it? XD

Morning Panic (Boku no Hero Academia - Aizawa/All Might)
I wasn't super happy of my first BNHA fic at the time (even though now I quite like it) so when I wrote this one I was like YES!! This is it!!! This is me!!!
Basically it's cute and fluffy and I was confident right from the start that I had the characterisation right and that's always a nice feeling to have XD

Perks (Boku no Hero Academia - Itsuka/Momo)
I swear I didn't make this series just to promote my rarepairs.
I just really like those girls (also ok to be honest it didn't feel right not having any F/F in this sampler) and am happy with how this fic turned out (fun fact: I wrote it right after finishing On a cliff's edge, like, closed one file and opened another!).

Beacons and anchors (Boku no Hero Academia - Tamaki/Mirio)
Ok, maybe putting a fic I just posted this very morning in here is a bit too much.
But. It's my 400th fanfic. It's on the one BNHA ship I will die for (not that I don't love the others but MiriTama stole my heart and now there's no going back). And I also honestly think it's one of my best works to date.
