That self-promotion meme

Post a rec list singling out the best of your own fics. Tell people why you are especially proud of those particular fics, and of course provide links to them. Yes, that's right, this step involves self-promotion. How else are people supposed to find your fics? List as many or as few as you feel appropriate to represent your body of writing.
Also include a paragraph about the types of fics you most enjoy reading or are most interested in reading in the immediate future -- favorite tropes, pairings, fandoms, whatever. If you're particularly lazy, link to that Dear Writer post you did for whatever holiday exchange comes to mind.
Reply to other rec posts (like for example the one you are reading now) by reccing a fic of your own that might fit the original poster's tastes, or that you'd just really like them to read, because maybe they don't know they'd like it.
I didn't do that last part but whatevs.
What do I like to read?
Just about anything involving Kara, with a strong preference for Kara/Lee. I'll read other ships too but I have to be in the mood. There are certain things within the K/L oeuvre that I get tired of--like pre-mini or UB-era fics--and sometimes read less enthusiastically than others. But I really will read anything...although I'd say the most important thing for me is probably characterization--specifically of Kara, but Lee's important too. Um. Anyway. What else do I like? Angst, but not over the top. Drama. Sometimes tragedy. Sometimes happy endings. Uh...crossovers? Basically, I read a lot of fanfiction.
A few of my favorites that I've written:
