February

March
Belle of the West - MCU/Gunsmoke xover (Worlds of Chaos) - mild Loki/Kitty Russell, mild Kitty Russell/Matt Dillon - Dodge City is a feast of chaos in every flavor imaginable, and Loki finds himself taking on the role of a gambler at one of the saloons. He wasn't expecting to find echoes of a lost love among the dust and whiskey.
April
Nothing
May
The Milk of Human Kindness - Hunger Games universe - Haymitch/Lenore Dove, milkd Coriolanus/Lucy Gray - Before the Quarter Quell even begins, Snow is reminded of someone he would prefer to forget. Instead, he is compelled to admit the world is full of fools, and he is no exception.

21 fics is right about in the middle for me. 2023 had that very, very weird 87, the lowest was 2013 with 5. Out of the 26 years I've been writing these, 15 of them had fewer than 21, one year had 21, and the other 10 had over 21, and 4 of those 10 over 21 were the previous four years (2020 was only 9). So not huge, but not bad either. I've already written 3 in 2026, which is more than last year at this point, so we'll see how that goes.
I also wrote in a few new fandoms: Wind in the Willows, Where the Wild Things Are, Gunsmoke (did a drabble once), and To Catch a Thief.
I hit 300 fics on A03 this year with Paternal Pride.
