Return of an AO3 Meme

redfiona99This is how it works. Whoever started this meme left five "clues". I've responded with the five stories that meet the criteria of the "clues". You can do so too, should you wish, and/or leave a "clue" for me. The "clues" can be anything from "Your favorite story" to "Story in which the most characters died" to "A story that includes both a threesome and a wrench."
These are the original five "clues":
1. Your story with the closest word count to 1,662 words.
2. Your story in the rarest fandom you write in.
3. The longest story you've ever written.
4. The story that's title starts with the last letter of your user name.
5. Story written for your favorite prompt you've ever gotten.
I'm using the stories that are up on AOOO because it does word counts and stuff for you.
1 - Late Night, Drunk and Maudlin, which is 1667 words long and is one of my Bradshaw/Farooq fics, is still the fic closest to 1662 words.
2 - The Resurrection Men which is the only "Too Human" fic in the archive. And may well stay that way given how poorly the game did.
3 - My longest fic in the archive is The Time Between, 9086 words of First Class gen (for my peculiar values of gen in that fandom).
4 - None of my fics start with a number, never mind a 9, so I shall have to go with A. I have several fics that start with A, the most recent of which is All The Things She Said Running Through My Head, which is X-Men: First Class not quite gen fic that's messily not any of Mystique/Magneto, Magneto/Xavier and Mystique/Xavier.
5 - Walking In These Shoes. The prompt was - "843 - Iron Man (movie), Tony Stark/Pepper Potts, Pepper is a tall girl, regardless, she always liked high heels even when she was a little boy." It is the ultimate prompt, one where the minute you read it, you have the entire story in your head. I've always been lucky in the prompts I've got, because the other option for this is 'The Time Between', which was another cracking prompt.
