howdy lem ! hows abouts 13 + 14 for the Ao3 wrapped ask! <3

happy new year, kaz! i am wishing you the best most wonderful 2024. <3

13. your personal favorite fic you read this year.

ooohh... a tough one only because i forget so easily & read too much as;dlfkjasdf

i actually fell really deep into a castlevania hole for a minute there (specifically for alucard help), and really enjoyed a fic called burden of blood.

in the nart fandom, you and nisi kept me going with your oc longfics (love me mercilessly, we looked like giants, and meet me in the woods for anyone who hasn't read them & is interested!).

lastly, one of my fave kakashi/oc fics also updated for the first time in years, so i was very excited to dive back into civil affairs.

14. your personal favorite fic you posted this year.

i had been contemplating a fic for nisi for a long while that i was finally able to write and post for valentine's day, so unspoken was my favorite post of the year. <3

#ao3 wrapped #thanks for asking! #akamikazae
