Heh. Well look at that I'm the first to reply. Back to my olde stalking ways :D

I'm gonna give you five things of five things - to keep in with the pattern:-

**5 things about your fics please:-**

5 Item Taster Set of Kat's Id Fics
Your 5 most used pairings (and I say that in every sense of the word :D )
5 silliest fics
Your 5 shortest fics
Your 5 favourite fics of all your stories (hard one I know with 500)

**My favourite Kpop songs at the moment (not including Stray Kids)**

Crazy (Japanese version) - Le Sserafim, JP the Wavy
GGum - Yeonjun
Bite Me - Enhypen
Work - Ateez
Haegeum - August D (this was HARD cos I like a lot of his songs)

**My favourite Stray Kids songs at the moment (a lot inspired by their MVs, because of course!)**

Escape - Bang Chan & Hyunjin
Walking on Water
Maniac (the song that made me go "Oh hello - I like this group."
Mountains
Red Lights (because how could I not, same with Escape)

**Five Time Prompts**

5 times person A wanted to tell person B they loved them and the one time they finally did
5 times person A was person B's hero and the one time person A needed saving
5 times person A calls person B by a pet name and the one time person B finds one for person A
5 times they thought the other was the enemy and the one time they found out they were not (friends to lovers cos I know you love that)
5 times person A and person B correct people about their relationship status and the one time they just accepted it.

And again with the theme, here are 5 pairings for the above if you're minded to write any of them. Surprisingly the majority of these are RPS!!

Chan/Felix
Jimmy/Duncan
Spencer/Ryan
Gerard/Mikey
Patrick/Pete

Hope that's enough 5 things. I may come back with some other stuff later :D

And going with the theme, my icon is the 5th random one DW picked.

[greghousesgf]

Five TV shows I love:

1. Father Ted
2. Boardwalk Empire
3. A Bit of Fry and Laurie
4. Mystery Science Theater
5. Young Ones

the first five songs that came up randomly on my playlist:
1. Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz
2. Piggies by the Beatles
3. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen
4. Butterfly Ball (sung by Ronnie James Dio but Roger Glover wrote it)
5. mashup between Ghostbusters and Thunderstruck

[kat_lair]

Yay thank you for sharing five things! I have only seen two of the tv-shows you mention and would recognise two of the songs you list!

[greghousesgf]

which of the TV shows and songs are familiar to you?

[kat_lair]

I've seen Father Ted and A Bit of Fry and Laurie. And I know the Queen and Lenny Kravitz songs :)

[kat_lair]

I mean almost certainly you will also be the only commenter on this post, stalker status uncontested.

Yay five five things!

All the music choices are excellent. I liked the original version of Crazy but hadn't heard that version before.

More I listen to Escape, more feelings I have about it.

The Five Times prompts are all amazing! I definitely have ideas for two of them but we shall see... And on one occasion it overlaps with one of the pairing prompts as well.

Right, answers then:

5 Item Taster Set of Kat's Id Fics:
Okay, so I'm interpreting 'id fic' here as 'written purely for myself to scratch a particular itch' and thus excluded everything written for other people in any way (gift or exchange) even though they had id fic elements (turns out, I could do like other 5+ on that theme lol). There could have been more than these 5, but as a taster set...
Fizz, Bang, Pop (Stray Kids, Chan/Felix), the 'I've fallen in love with this pairing and need to pour all my emotions out about them into a single fic' fluffy and spicy get-together
broke off a dark twig (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013), Gretel/Hansel), the femdom coded codependent siblingcest fic with magic that I wanted to exist immediately after the movie and had to write myself
Make Your Own (This Beautiful Fantastic (2016), Bella/Vernon/Billy), I loved the movie but I needed this poly happy ending so badly I wrote this pretty much in one sitting almost immediately after
I’m Your Man (Mission: Impossible (Movies), William Brant/Ethan Hunt), written because I got obsessed with that one scene of Extreme Switch Energy from Will and then had to explore that At Depth. As you do.
restraint (release) (镇魂 | Guardian (TV), Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan), id fic, the porn version, written because I got fixated on Zhao Yunlan's oral fixation and just had a lot of ~feelings~ about it, one of the filthiest things I've written


Your 5 most used pairings (and I say that in every sense of the word :D ):
Lol, AO3 stats say...
Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester (28)
James Hathaway/Robert Lewis (21)
Patrick Stump/Pete Wentz (16)
Rodney McKay/Radek Zelenka (12)
Nick Burkhardt/Monroe (12)


5 silliest fics:
Hee, I was like 'I don't write that much silly fic' but then I was like 'oh this one' and 'oh this other one' and we did get to 5
Improbable (TV commercials, Old Spice Guy/Sassy Gay Friend), aka the one where the fourth wall broke for a bit
Mumkitty The Mummy (Movies 1999-2008), Gen), a kitty!
Phallic (Green Wing, Boyce/Alan Statham), Statham's pointer!
Love Unchained (The Professionals, William Bodie/Ray Doyle), deliberate purple prose prison au (I reread this for the first time since I posted it and can confirm, it's very purple)
Deadpool: The Apocalypse (Deadpool, Wade & Logan), hehehe Deadpool


Your 5 shortest fics:
I have so many 100 word drabbles but I assume we're going to ignore those? So with that...
Raven Bell (Lewis, 115 words)
Character Sketch: Gabe Saporta (Bandom, 116 words)
Character Sketch: Gerard Way (Bandom, 125 words)
Character Sketch: Brendon Urie (Bandom, 130 words)
Character Sketch: John Mitchell (Being Human, 130 words)


Your 5 favourite fics of all your stories (hard one I know with 500):
NOOOOO THEY'RE ALL MY CHILDRENNNNNNNNNNNN.... Fucking. God. Okay. I'm going a) ignore co-written stuff (but like some of my faves are co-written) and b) the ones I already mentioned above although some of them would qualify. Also, c) favourite does not equal 'best' though there is some overlap so I've gone with 'these are comforting to me and sometimes I reread them for myself' flavour of favourite rather than 'look at me being clever with words' one.
Access All Areas (or: How Spencer Smith Got His Groove Back) (Bandom, Ryan/Spencer), ahh the yearningggg in the vintage clothes shop
let me hear your body talk (镇魂 | Guardian (TV) RPF, Bai Yu/Zhu Yilong), ahhh the yearningggg in the gym
Fac Mihi Viam (Harry Potter, Sirius & Harry gen), ahhh the family feeeeeeeeeeeeeeels and healing from trauma
best of the best (on first class) (Stray Kids, Kim Seungmin/Yang Jeongin | I.N), ahhh the yearningggggggggg when in a K-pop group
Volcano (Stray Kids, Han Jisung | Han/Lee Minho | Lee Know), as above but with added 'confession via a song' flavouring
