What are your favorite of your own fics and which ones are the most popular in stats?

Sorry for not getting to your question - I'm just a very bad at checking this place! :/

It's hard to pick favorites because all of them have little bits and turns of phrase that I feel a certain pride in, but I felt very cozy and loved writing "two kings" (https://archiveofourown.org/works/52857073). My John birthday fic has a ton of my personal headcanons about John and Richard's relationship over a longer stroke of time, which was fun to imagine John at different ages and how he - a person I perceive a wanting and needing a lot of love and affection - copes with the medieval expectation that family is often apart and not that close (https://archiveofourown.org/works/52611931). And then of course, the Philip feet fic is just the story that keeps on giving for me - even I go back and read this one pretty often lol (https://archiveofourown.org/works/52358317).

My most popular fic (and popular is definitely relative) is my Blade/Yanqing story for Honkai Star Rail (https://archiveofourown.org/works/49205647). Much larger fandom and I think it's a ship that people were very intrigued by but not a lot of people actually wrote for. I'd love to write about them again, but I didn't love the way that part of the Honkai story turned out and it sort of turned me off writing more for that particular area of the game.
