Chapter Text
Hello everybody! After seeing centreoftheselight's Year In Review, I started to wonder what the top ships would be specifically within the Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics tag, and after hours and hours of work I've assembled it! I don't know how to code very well so I collected all my data by hand; if you think you see an error or think a ship is missing, please leave a comment and let me know!
In total, 58,971 fics were posted under the Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics tag in 2025.
Ambig = Ambiguous Race
Gen = Platonic or Familial Relationship
MENA = Middle Eastern or North African
Poly = Polyamorous Relationship
N.H. = Non-Human Skin Tone
This list shows the top 100 relationship tags which had the most fanfics published within January 1st, 2025 to December 31st, 2025. There are 94 M/M pairings, 0 F/M, 2 F/F, 1 Gen, 1 Polyamorous F/F/F relationship, 1 Polyamorous M/M/M/M/M/M/M relationship, and 1 Polyamorous M/M/M/M/M/M/M/M relationship. Of the 150 names of the list, 7 belong to women, and 143 belong to men.
There are 84 Asian characters, 50 white characters, 3 Latino characters, 2 Middle Eastern or North African characters, 1 Black character, 3 racially ambiguous characters, and 4 with non-human skin tones.
In total there are 90 Characters of Colour. I am an independent researcher with no official affiliation with Ao3. I just did this for fun!
EDIT Jan 11th: Fixed Sanji (One Piece) and Lewis Hamilton's races.
