It has happened. The crayon fic has beaten out the kinky porn. The crayon fic is still maintaining an absurd kudos:hits ratio, currently at 1865 kudos and 18840 hits. It has maintained this absurd ratio for years. I don't know how it does it???? *sings It's A Kind Of Magic*

Since that's boring, here is, according to the stats page, the top fic by hit count for every year since I joined ao3: (one slight difference to above since I got the hit counts, like, 30 minutes apart)

• 2009: Had We But World Enough And Time Lords. (Highlander/Doctor Who). 1,747 hits. This surprised me but then again, I didn't post much fic in 2009.


• 2010: And All Shall Be Well. (Doctor Who). 3,877 hits. oh hai FTM!Rory


• 2011: Barrayar Expects That Every Fan Will Do Their Duty: Excerpts From A Fandom (Vorkosigan). 7,481 hits. Yuletide fic


• 2012: Good Use. (James Bond). 4,235 hits. Cowritten with sorchar


• 2013: Scenes From An Inconvenient Espionage Love Story. (Les Mis/James Bond). 18,841 hits. At some point, sort-by-hits and sort-by-kudos is its own inertia.


• 2014: Things To Do In New York City When You're No Longer Brainwashed. (Avengers). 7,900 hits. The one with the lingerie store and the deeply annoying deluge of "write moar" comments.


• 2015: Earthlings Gonna Earth. (The Martian). 10,873 hits. The one with Mark Watney and Sesame Street.


• 2016: We Walk The Plank With Our Eyes Wide Open. (Star Wars). 7,011 hits. The one where I was driving home from work and this song by Gotye came on and it was the most apt thing ever


• 2017: You Make Me Look Legitimate. (Check Please). 4,236 hits. The one where they're men and Bitty goes to the Olympics, as opposed to the one where they are women and they all go to the Olympics


• 2018: The Dashboard Melted But We Still Had The Radio. (Baby Driver). 1,193 hits. This is a lie, this one is actually second by hit count per the stats page, but the first one by hits is the Vorkosigan Fics I'm Not Writing, which does not count for a multitude of reasons but the primary one being this is by year and that one spans many years


• 2019: I Can't Help But Pull The Earth Around Me. (Vorkosigan). 624 hits. As this year is currently in progress, this one probably gets in since it was posted in January
