Hitcount meme!

I thought this looked really cool and I've seen a couple of people doing it now so I figured hey, why not find a ~seemingly productive way to procrastinate from the stuff I should be writing? XD



1. Cave In - 1909 hits
2. Best of Both Worlds - 1379 hits
3. Uncommon Side Effects May Include - 1044 hits
4. Corporal Reward - 989 hits
5. The One Where Merlin Has a Shady Work History - 917 hits
6. Rescue - 812 hits
7. Playing Dirty - 615 hits
8. My Coin is Three-Sided, and It's Still Money, Baby - 578 hits
9. Web - 450 hits
10. Murder on the Ice Rink - 321 hits

So I only have 18 fics on the AO3 to even choose from for this exercise, which I find kind of amusing.  I do enjoy the gentle slope in the numbers! 

1 and 5 are the most perplexing to me, for different reasons.  I actually hovered online and took a screen cap the minute Cave In first reached 1000 hits.  It was my first fic to do so and it was a significant moment for me!  :D  The One Where Merlin Has a Shady Work History was just one of those random kinkmeme fills and I think one of the first fics I put up on the AO3 because initially I thought it would be a good idea to have an archive account just to keep everything in one place.  Aside from Rescue it is also the only fic on this list that is not explicit, which is another reason why its hit count surprises me a little bit. 

I'm rather proud of Corporal Reward, because for being my most recent fic I think it's pretty sweet that it made it as high as number 4 on the list.  This is my first year doing this meme, so I wonder what it will end up looking like next year?  Hopefully I will have a few more fics to work with by then.  XD
