#billy waving his ‘no. 1 steve fan’ flag

brawlite's ao3 year in review

2022 was my ninth year publishing fic on ao3, which means that 2023 will be my 10th! anyway, this year i kind of flitted around between fandoms - some new to me, some old. ao3 tells me i published a grand total of 282,571 words, most of which were shared with toast—so that's probably closer to 60k for the 9 fics i published. i also started and abandoned approximately one million wips (too painful to count, tbh), but i do have plans to finish some of them.

anyway, at this strange trajectory, i have no idea what 2023 has in store, but i look forward to sharing it with u all.

(below the cut is a list of all the fics i published, with links & summaries)

A rescue attempt goes awry. Somehow, that's the simplest part.

Xue Yang isn’t a stalker. Stalkers are creeps. Freaks with nothing better to do. He’s just an invested fan.

Hate looks a lot like co-dependence after so many reiterations.

Shen Qingqiu has a gift for Liu Qingge. Luo Binghe spoils the surprise by giving it to Liu Qingge first.

The thing about knives is that you need to know how to use them.

The paint Edward uses to turn himself into Blackbeard is greasy, messy, rank. It coats his fingers and seeps into every crack and crevice on his skin. Izzy helps clean him up. With his tongue.

Edward copes. Barely.

There's nothing like spending the summer down by the lake—soaking up the sun, drinking around the fire. Maybe a fling. Maybe a romance. It's all fun and games until the bodies start dropping. Then, camp counselors Steve, Billy, and Eddie just have to find a way to survive.

After the end of the world, Billy Hargrove is a mess. But at least he has company.

Ever since freshman year, Billy and Steve have been rivals. That still hasn't changed.

"Steve Harrington isn’t stupid" I say into the mic. The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame. "No, they’re right" says a voice from the back of the room. The lights come on. It's Billy Hargrove.
