Thanks to @anditendshowyoudexpect for tagging me! It was very fun to go through some of my old fics, reread couple of them and boost confidence a bit with occasional "Damn, I wrote this!" (affectionately).
Disclaimer: all of those stories are originally in Russian but couple of them were kindly translated on English by lovely @anditendshowyoudexpect herself. So without further ado and in no particular order here's top-5 of my own favorite works:
Seasons of love (Vicborne/Victoria ITV) Cute little modern au inspired by Sense & Sensibility and random (slightly horny) mental image of Rufus Sewell in military uniform. I once was whinny about how sentimental this fic turns out but now I fully appreciate the warm cozy feeling it gives me.
How to love your dragon (Vicborne/Victoria ITV) Medieval fantasy au where Lord M is an ancient dragon and Victoria is a young stubborn princess. Very fairytale and heavily inspired by this movie.
Первый трубный глас против непостижимого /The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Ineffable (Braime/Game Of Thrones) Good Omens au. I started to write this in summer of 2019 right after soul-crashing finale of GoT and premier of the first season of Good Omens and I finished it in summer of 2022. Extremely proud of that fact that I completed this story and of many little allusions and witty locution as well. Contains my poor attempts to mimic Sir Terry Pratchett's inimitable manner. Brienna is an angel, Jaime is a demon. The rest is love.
Сорока / Magpie (Reylo/Star Wars) One of the things that brought me endless joy while I reread it for the first time since it was published. The whole thing is a silly parody and one of the funniest thing I ever wrote. Rey had a rough childhood, therefore realistically she should have some morally grey habits. Like a pickpocketing and slightest hint of kleptomania. So Kylo (Ben) and the rest of the galaxy just had to deal with her being pragmatic and opportunistic from time to time.
А поутру они поговорили / And so they talked in the morning... (Reylo/Star Wars) And another reylo work was written the very same day I watched the episode 9. It's fluffy, cheesy, contains allusions to Pride & Prejudice and everybody lives.

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.

i genuinely don't care how good a piece of ai generated art or writing looks on the surface. i don't care if it emulates brush strokes and metaphor in a way indistinguishable from those created by a person.
it is not the product of thoughtful creation. it offers no insights into the creator's life or viewpoint. it has no connection to a moment in time or a place or an attitude. it has no perspective. it has no value.
it's empty, it's hollow, and it exists only to generate clicks (and by extension, ad revenue.)
it's just another revolting symptom of the disease that is late stage capitalism, and it fucking sucks.

first drawing on my new monitor! 🥳
pose reference by @adorkastock
[Art description:
A piece depicting Anthy from Revolutionary Girl Utena, standing sideways on a dark starry backgroud with her head turned towards the viewer. She is a thin tan-skinned girl with long, flowing purple hair, green eyes, and a spiky yellow tiara. She is wearing a sleeveless dress that is red on the side and white in the centre. A braided white cord is attached to an epaulette with a bluegreen tassel on her right shoulder. A sheer white overskirt flows from her waist to the bottom of the picture, and she has a large red cuff on her arm, which is also holding a long axe with the blade pointing downwards. The artist’s watermark is visible in white in the lower left corner.
