The Archive of our Own meme

[ceitfianna]

This has started to pop up on my flist and I find it really interesting. I've only been really posting my fic someplace other than my journal for maybe two years and only since this summer have I written for popular fandoms. Looking over my list of hits, the order doesn't really surprise me. Other than my X-Men: First Class fics, the next one is from a kink meme and the others from Yuletide and the slightly smuttier ones are near the top.

It's still interesting to look over and its a nice reminder that putting myself out there more as a writer is worthwhile, people like reading what I write. Putting myself out there more was a resolution of mine for jobs and every aspect of myself, this is a great concrete proof that it works. I also have a few more fics that I need to polish and post.

Otherwise I'm feeling incredibly tired and will be glad to have a proper vacation soon.

Summary:

Written for I Need My Fics 2011 for lithiumlaughter who asked for Arthur and Ariadne and the prompt was It isn't just marks who have vaults they tuck their secrets away in.

This fic moved in a direction I didn't expect as I considered how Arthur and Ariadne interact with each other. It ended up a quiet character study of how things shift between them.
