draycevixen List your top 10 AO3 fics by number of hits.
1) Five times someone was admitted to hospital and once they were happy about it
Apart from a short introductory fic, this is the first of the Unexpected Family 'verse, covering a period of twenty years and providing the backbone to that 'verse. Greg and Sherlock have two adopted children, Lucy and William. The series itself covers several areas of normal family life - or what passes for normal in the Lestrade-Holmes household.
2) Who you gonna call?
Since my OTP is John/Greg I never expect many readers. This one is more bromance than romance and has injured Greg and BAMF John, so of more general appeal. Written in the summer of 2012.
3) An alternate occupation
One of my few John/Sherlock, written for Sherlockmas 2011, a Christmas exchange fic. Fluffy and Christmassy.
4) John's jumper
Written as a Christmas present in 2011. Again John/Sherlock.
5) The Salutation
Written autumn 2013 for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
intoabar I have no idea why this has had so many hits. Clearly the combination of James Hathaway from Lewis and Guy of Gisborne from the BBC Robin Hood series had people wondering what on earth was going on.
6) Introducing the family
Part one of the Unexpected Family 'verse.
7) Expect the unexpected
Written early in 2012. John Watson reacts badly after the events at the Grimpen Mire (S2E2 of Sherlock). Classic hurt/comfort.
8) Hospital visiting
Written March 2012. John Watson is in hospital, Greg Lestrade goes to visit him. More hurt/comfort.
9) Dr McCoy to the transporter room
Written May 2013. My sole voyage into Star Trek. Again kid fic.
10) Five times Mycroft Holmes was surprised and once when everything went exactly as planned
Written in November 2011. Features John/Greg and Mycroft/Sally Donovan. Written pre-Series 2, so the general atmosphere is very different from what I would write later. At the time the whole premise was fun.
The eleventh is the fic that brought me into AO3 in the first place, my Life on Mars bigbang: Midsummer Mars
It would be possible also to sort by Kudos, An Alternate Occupation, Who You Gonna Call? and the Unexpected Family are all at the top again. There are also a number of Greg Lestrade fics (no surprise there): Greg's Wedding , Go at once (aka Greg's engagement), Power Cut (injured Greg) and Indisposed (injured John).
