beccaelizabethif you go on Ao3, choose tag no archive warnings apply, exclude a few things I always exclude, then sort by kudos
it looks like the archive of MCU, Harry Potter, and Teen Wolf.
Select F/F and it's The 100, which I have not seen.
the juggernaut pairings are really spectacular. There's stories with more kudos than my minimum requirements for word count, and I don't read short.
I've got so used to Ao3 I sometimes forget to wonder what isn't on there. I mean I know entire archives disappear and didn't make it over or onto the wayback (age verification click throughs are awkward), but I don't know which ones, you know?
There's a lot of fic I should have in email form around here somewhere, and sometimes I wonder how many things there's only one copy of left, and the owner doesn't even know it.
all of which is to say, I am still reading in fandoms I have never seen/read
and kind of mapping what the consistent appeals are.
... people with terrible angst to dig in to are likely to be fandom favourites, and despite a tendency to center around a particular romance, fandoms where people are beought together as team or pack or i guess houses tend to do well.
people like when people connect with people.
... why exactly is so much on the tv about the fighting only?
... or the catalyst for so many Everybody Lives AUs?
there's some fandoms where it seems like everybody lives so routinely they're mostly not tagged, it's just implied by the character list.
there's shows that kill like their entire cast and only bring some of them back.
one wonders how we end up at such crosspurposes.

like -snape
some people don't tag the keywords, like assuming it's obvious from the relationships field, so I have a set of / pairs to exclude individually
