gwyn but also seen elsewhere, List your top fanfic on AO3 for every year, sorted by kudos. I'm starting with 2009, because I don't think fanfic I wrote before that is on the Archive.
2009: Dāshrathi; Ramayana: gen. I don't think kudos were a thing yet, and also I suspect these particular kudos drifted in relatively recently. Everything else I wrote that year was for a Bollywood film, had a readership of two, and had originally been posted here or on LJ.
2010: The Mating of Sharks; Harry Potter: Draco Malfoy/Blaize Zabini. (Close runners-up: Moses Among the Bulrushes; also Harry Potter and racebent. to race Thanatos; Alexander trilogy; deathfic)
2011: Vistas of Sun and Smoke; Alexander trilogy: gen and the beginning of my obsession with Hephaistion's family. (Close runners-up: The Son of Monoetius; The Iliad; a death-wail for Patroclus. Nathbati; The Mahabharata and the beginning of my love for writing AU in the epic; the name itself is flicked from the Bengali drama about Draupadi: Nathbati Anathbat [husbanded husbandless].)
2012: Noone here to save; Captain America: Steve/Bucky with Bucky alive post-train. Thoroughly unsurprising, is what I'm saying.
2013: Food of Love; Harry Potter: Marauder-era fic of Sirius/Remus getting together. Possibly my favourite and definitely the lightest and funniest thing I've ever written with these two.
2014: Not a House or Even a Tent; The Charioteer; wedding-night fic for Ralph/Laurie. Shmoopy sentimental sex. Has a lot of kudos for such a small fandom, I must say. (Definitely not the best TC fic I wrote that year, which is almost certainly The Thousandth Man; ofc I wrote a lot of TC fic that year so YMMV clearly.)
2015: Sex while Parents; Pride (2014): has very little sex in it considering the title, but a whole spiel about suddenly landing as unofficial foster-parents while queer and in your late-thirties or older. I love it to bits, so this ranking makes me very happy.
2016: and in the mirror; Harry Potter: gen. Remus and his third-year Slytherin class v. Boggarts. I... think this might have been recced recently because it's got a fair trickle of kudos in the last month or so.
2017: a soft epilogue; Harry Potter: Remus/Sirius post-canon. The only thing I wrote in 2017.
2018: grow; Greek mythology: porny. Look there's a reason this got written December 2018 and is somehow the most kudosed fic for the year, and the reason is Persephone pegging Hades. The internet is for porn, etc.
2019: I'm still writing and plan to do a lot of it in the last quarter of the year, but as of right now the MCU fic is winning because well, MCU.
