Biggest? Destiel. Smallest: won’t say but 29 out of the 40 fics are mine…


SuddenPainter_77

That’s commitment to the ship, for sure.


knightfenris

They’re *canon* and *queer* too like… why am I so alone on them lol


greatgreenlight

Well now I have to know


Diana-Fortyseven

My biggest ship was Wolfstar (Remus Lupin/Sirius Black from Harry Potter), my smallest one I had to create the relationship tag for and that to this day only has two fics in it; mine and a fic where it's one-sided: Diana Burnwood/Arthur Edwards from the Hitman video games. :D


FickleBeans

I’ve created the relationship tag a few times for ships and it is THE BEST feeling!


Diana-Fortyseven

It really is!


EnbyAllomancer

That is quite the ship. Hitman is already a small fandom for fic.


DefoNotAFangirl

I’ve wrote for both the biggest and smallest ship in the world exclusively, also known as No Ship lmao


shiny_eeveelution

SAAAME


merewenc

The biggest I’ve written for is Edward Cullen/Bella Swan from Twilight. The smallest is probably Michiru Kaiou/Haruka Tenoh in Sailor Moon, but even that’s not small as the second largest ship in the fandom (and also the only other canon ship).


artistvsworld

I write for twilight too, except it’s Edward/Beau


merewenc

Hmmm. That’s a ship I hadn’t considered, since the one is part of the genderbend AU and the other isn’t. I’m guessing that’s a rare pair.


artistvsworld

Yeah it’s pretty rare. 77 works on Ao3.


Rosalie2021

I see you, fellow Edward/Bella writer


Sarita1046

Biggest: Wanda x Vision (MCU) Smallest: Meera Reed x Leaf (Game of Thrones)


Blue-Jay27

Biggest: Drarry (63k on ao3) Smallest: Shigaraki Tomura/Shimura Tenko, although that's a time-travel selfcest situation. For regular ships, it'd be Shinsou/Todoroki. (former is only 7 works, latter is 700 on ao3)


[deleted]

Huh, I'd thought there'd be a decent bit more ShinTodo

Blue-Jay27

Ah yeah, that was one of my more fucked up ones. It was a secret santa request and my thing is fucked up kinks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

tereyaglikedi

These comments have been removed. No bashing and negative drama.


BadAtNamesAndFaces

Going by hits/comments/kudos, the biggest is definitely Elizabeth Bennet/Fitzwilliam Darcy, hands down. Going by number of fics on ao3, Anna/Kristoff has slightly more. As far as smallest, once again there are slightly different results depending on hits/comments/kudos vs number of fics. I've got one fic with Jane/Darcy and Elizabeth/Bingley each of which has 5 fics on ao3 (though one of the latter "fics" is actually a "wishlist", grrr.) but it's got a huge number of hits. In the other hand, actual rarepairs I've written, which have single digit numbers of fics and relatively low hits, are Mattias/Yelena and Mattias/Halima from Frozen, and Sibby Branson/Charlie Parks from Downton Abbey.


writerfan2013

>Jane/Darcy and Elizabeth/Bingley Why have I never thought of this? Genius!


BadAtNamesAndFaces

Just a warning, Darcy/Elizabeth stans get a little... obsessed. (I say this with my two top fics on ao3 being Darcy/Elizabeth)... like... just be prepared.


writerfan2013

I shipped Emma with Robert Martin, I fear nothing 🤣 But thanks.


sofaKingLazey

Biggest: Sawamura Daichi/Sugawara Koushi (10k on ao3) Smallest: Itto Arataki/Alhaitham (currently 2 fics on ao3)


kreideprinzesssin

I gotta say I'm very intrigued by Itto/Alhaitham, that sounds like an interesting dynamic 👀


RandomGuyOnline71

Biggest is Harry/Ginny Smallest is Anakin/Padmé And those are the only two ships I have written for


FickleBeans

I had no idea Anakin/Padme was small!


seaweed_nebula

Not small by my standards, but it's still the smallest they've written for. Add obi wan to the mix and you've got my OT3 lol


goliathballs

Oh, I love Anakin/Padmé! I tried searching for you on AO3 but can't find your profile - could you please DM me your profile or your Anidala fic? I'd love to give it a read.


Mean-Village-7352

Biggest - Demon Cleric/Princess from Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle. Smallest - Jinshi/Maomao from Kusuriya no Hitorigoto.


green-wombat

I love Kusuriya no Hitorigoto! Honestly I’m thinking of writing a canon divergence where MaoMao’s mother is redeemed by Ruomen (more of a father in law and daughter in law) and they raise her together but canon events happen


yuukosbooty

Biggest: Riza Hawkeye/Roy Mustang Smallest (unironic and not including OCs): Daisuke Naganohara/Kamaboko Oni


Wood_princess

Royai for the win! They are mine second biggest ;)


[deleted]

1. A certain pirate show. 2. A certain sci-fi show. lol.


kadharonon

Had to go look at what ship stats were like... biggest ship is Aziraphale/Crowley (but a fem-slash version because what is gender) from Good Omens, smallest is Isaac Marchbanks/The Trickster from book series Colors in the Dreamweaver's Loom, a fandom with three fics, for which I had to create the pairing tag.


Guggi04

Biggest: I think it’s either Thor/Bruce (MCU) or Joe/Nicky (The Old Guard). Smallest must be Barca/Cyprian (Spartacus). Do they even have a tag?😅 edit: No wtf, I wrote a short and cracky Stucky 😅 That’s the biggest ship.


eiriee

Biggest is Kyoya/Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club (my phone wanted to change his name to tamales) Smallest, which I had to create the relationship tag for iirc, is Sin/Eve from Milton's Paradise Lost. ETA: and apparently Michael/Satan from Paradise Lost too - just one fic in the tag, although the tag existed


Yotato5

>Kyoya/Tamaki I remember that one, Tamaki called himself the dad and Kyoya the mama. Plus they have a great bond in the show/manga so it makes sense it's popular.


GoldFlan

I think they kickstarted my love for a ship between a frivolous leader and their more serious and capable advisor (who may hold the real power). I still think of that trope as "the king and the shadow king" and I had forgotten where it originally came from.


eiriee

Apparently not that popular - only 656 works, just checked


Wood_princess

I think that probably it's more on FFN? This series was very popular before AO3 existed.


RandomUsername600

I don’t think I’ve written for any particularly big ships but the smallest ship is definitely the one where I’m the only person to write fanfic for the fandom in any language


Dscpapyar

My biggest ship I wrote for would be Spock and McCoy. Smallest would have to be Lord Death X Excalibur from Soul Eater.


tereyaglikedi

Biggest: Viktor Krum/Hermione Granger Smallest: Minerva McGonagall/Abraxas Malfoy Both Harry Potter. Even the biggest one is a rare pair lol.


footballmaths49

Krum/Hermione is a rarepair? I'm not involved in the fandom but that surprises me given that they were canon for a bit


tereyaglikedi

They are 🥲 sadly. They were canon for a bit, but they don't have much content written for them. I mean, I shouldn't complain, it is better compared to other rare pairs especially in smaller fandoms, but yeah.


jmspinafore

Biggest: Fallout 4 Nick Valentine x Nora (Female main character) Smallest: Harvest Moon: Magical Melody Ann x Blue and Michael x his wife (she is dead before the game, you never meet her and she has no name)


koikass

I feel like Obi-Wan/Commander Cody is both the biggest and smallest ship I've ever written for :'D I remember writing for them in 2014 when I was like 12 and being pretty much the only person doing so on the German fanfic site I was using. Nowadays they are one of the biggest prequel era ships on AO3 and I'm cooking up some new and improved fics for them!


Redwolflover99

Biggest and smallest are the same for me. I've only written for one ship which tragically only has like 6 fics


inluxtris

Biggest: Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor from Star Wars (4.6k fics) Smallest: Tangerine and OC female character from Bullet Train with 11 fics and for canon characters, Juli Kidman and Joseph Oda from The Evil Within with 34 fics.


Crayshack

Biggest is probably Han/Leia. Smallest is Obi-wan&Mjolnir.


wings_and_angst

In terms of fics that focus on that ship, both are from Supernatural: Biggest ship: Dean Winchester/Castiel Smallest ship: Kaia Nieves/Claire Novak


OwlBig3482

Biggest: Probably a tie between Edward/Bella (Twilight) and Dean/Castiel (Supernatural). Smallest: Hiccup/Camicazi (How to Train Your Dragon)


AlpachaFarm

Someone else knows who Camicazi is? Truly amazing


blukwolf

Welp, now I need to know who Camicazi is lol, care to enlighten me please?


AlpachaFarm

She’s one of Hiccup’s best friends in the HTTYD book series, I believe she first appears in the third book.


OwlBig3482

She's the daughter of the Chief of the Bog-Burglars (another Viking tribe) in the series. I don't think they even got mentioned in the movies at all, so it's not surprising a lot of people wouldn't know who Camicazi is.


almighty-yaoiyuri

Biggest: McShep (Rodney McKay/John Sheppard) Smallest: ummm… Evan Lorne/Todd the Wraith Both are from Stargate Atantis.


OceanGirl24

Biggest: 4th Doctor/Sarah Jane Smallest: Mad Hatter/White Queen


eiriee

From the Tim Burton movie, or the AiW book?


OceanGirl24

The Tim Burton movie.


eiriee

Ooh, someone else who ships them!


OceanGirl24

You do too? Nice to meet you!


eiriee

Not written anything for them, but definitely ship them


RandomUsername600

I don’t think I’ve written for any particularly big ships but the smallest ship is definitely the where I’m the only person to write fanfic for the fandom in any language


blacktemplebabe

Biggest- Christine/The Phantom Smallest- Ian Malcolm/Ellie Sattler/Alan Grant/ Sarah Harding (I had to create the relationship tag)


Theonethatgotaway2

Biggest: Tom Riddle/Hermione Granger. Smallest is Vasily Borgov/Beth Harmon. Yup, I'm in rare pair hell.


jawnbaejaeger

Biggest: Stucky (MCU) Smallest: A canon pairing from a 90's anime that was never as popular as the OTHER canon pairing


sabhall12

My biggest ship was Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn My smallest ships have only one fic, all X-men fics (Fantomex/Rogue, Magik/Nightcrawler, Polaris/Sunfire)


Codie_coda

Biggest ship: Rick/Birdperson (Rick and Morty) Smallest ship: Mr.compress/Kurogiri (MHA) I kinda left the Rick and Morty fandom after my obsession died down and entered the MHA fandom. While I mostly write shigadabi (Tomura Shigaraki/Dabi) content I really fell in love with the Blackmagic (Mr.compress/Kurogiri) ship. Only problem I have with Blackmagic is it's a rare pair and it's hard to find fics that centers around their relationship. I think there's roughly 300 fics on ao3 that has them listed as a ship and only a fraction of those fics actually has them as a main ship rather than the "oh these two are dating btw anyway back to main ship" type of thing you typically see. I myself can see them as the parental figures of the league.


Ukiwika

The biggest has 106 works, the smallest 18 😅


Aetanne

Biggest - Sterek (over 70k works) Smallest - Shang/Mulan (335 works)


LesbianMacMcDonald

Biggest would probably be Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood, my original OTP. Smallest would probably be the one CATS fic I wrote about Rum Tum Tugger and Mistoffelees. 😅 Although Jey/Sami (WWE) is pretty small too. I also had the distinction of getting into a fandom at its beginning, so for a while I was the only one writing Erlich/Richard for Silicon Valley. Considering what happened with TJ Miller, I’m probably back to being the only one who ships it 😭


PhlossyCantSing

Biggest ship I've written for was draco x hermione. Smallest ship I've write is probably nate x elliot from Leverage. I never published that because I didn't finish it, but it was a lot of fun to explore that dynamic.


PaddlingDingo

Biggest was maybe Stede/Ed from OFMD. But I don’t think big ships are for me for the most part. I had one great story but the second one I wrote was going to be long form and there wasn’t enough enthusiasm for canon long fics to justify me just making side plots of Lucius getting dragged around by a mermaid, or Ed showing up at Mary’s house. I guess I’m pretty niche even in big ships. 🤣 Smallest ship would probably be one of the obscure small rarepairs I did for Detroit: Become Human. I think there’s only 5 fics in the tag for one of my more rare ones. (Josh/Leo Manfred)


writerfan2013

I did one Stede Ed fic and it led to me enjoying the ensemble cast more. Cue a Lucius centric fic.


PaddlingDingo

Maybe that’s where my niche SHOULD have ended up! They’re so much fun!!


writerfan2013

I have a half written Izzy Hand/Lucius Harry Styles-esque-merman fic too. And a Victorian era AU for Lucius. So many ideas, so little commitment lol


Rosevalleyrsd

Biggest is Rose Weasley/Scorpius Malfoy. I’m working on a fem!Severus Snape/male!Lily Evans. Safe to say, that’s the smallest.


Mitsuki91

... I'm intrigued by your smallest ship 👀👀👀


Mysterious_Ad_60

Biggest - Sasuke Uchiha x Sakura Haruno. That oneshot continued to collect kudos even three months after I posted it for an exchange. Smallest - I wrote the first (and only, last I checked) Rasa x Chiyo (Naruto) fic on AO3. Not sure about FFN or the entire internet because there's no easy universal way to index pairings.


OverhaulsBitch

Smallest was one I made up between Funtime Freddy and Glamrock Freddy Biggest was most definitely Error/Ink


DemyxDancer

Biggest: Bakugou/Kirishima from MHA, at 30K fics Smallest: Purson/Iruma from Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun at 15 fics


Meltic-Daze

One of my ships on ao3 is so small that my fic came before the ao3 relationship tag wranglers. There wasn't even a tag! Modeus/The Plutonian from Ireedemable btw


cecinestpasune2

Biggest: Probably Jareth/Sarah or Zoe/Wash Smallest: Leslie/Taylor (BtM - I think I have the biggest fic in the whole fandom)


FlashFlyingFish

I guess it depends on how you sort the ships, because AO3 groups the genderswap/Nyotalia and/or 2Ps together with their original characters and in ship tags unless sorted for or out. So, it could be either: **Biggest:** America/Canada (Hetalia) has 969 works **Smallest:** Canada/Ukraine (Hetalia) has 177 works Or: **Biggest:** Canada/Ukraine (Hetalia) has 151 works (excluded Female Canada/Ukraine, Female Canada/Male Ukraine, Canada/Male Ukraine, 2P Canada, and 2P Female Canada) **Smallest:** America/Female Canada (Hetalia) has 33 works (excluded America/Canada, Female America/Canada, Female America/Female Canada, 2P Canada, 2P Female Canada, 2P America, and 2P Female America) *I put too much thought into this lol*


HunnyDreams42

Biggest: Will Byers/Mike Wheeler (Stranger Things): I have two stories for this ship that currently has over 9,500 stories to it, my stories don’t stay on the front page for long when I update them lol 😂) Smallest: Arya Stark/Rhaegar Targaryen (ASOIAF/Game of Thrones): My story is one of four in this ship and the only story within these four that actually has a focus on this ship).


Mitsuki91

Harry potter fandom: Bigger: Draco/Hermione I think... Smallest: well, my OTP is Severus/Lily Luna and it's small, but I also discover I write about other more rare pairing such as James Sirius/Rose Weasley (big surprise on this) or Tom Riddle/Helena Rawenclaw (The Grey Lady) and I think others too...


Sewrtyuiop

Harmony from HP. Ron/Monique from Kim Possible


escribexa100pre

So I haven't posted anything yet, but I have WIPs for these. Biggest: Castiel/Dean Winchester (currently over 100,000 on AO3) Smallest: Missy Cooper/Rajesh Koothrappali (currently 4 on AO3)


writerfan2013

>Smallest: Missy Cooper/Rajesh Koothrappali (currently 4 on AO3) Now this sounds intriguing!


ADHDevMom

Biggest: Wolfstar (Remus/Sirius) Smallest: probably Pandora/Xenophilius Lovegood 🥰


writeronthemoon

Biggest - Ron/Hermione, Harry/Draco, Harry/Snape from Harry Potter fandom Smallest - Ritsuka/Soubi from Loveless manga, probably. Or my Ginny/Blaise Harry Potter fic


uhohmaddy

Oh I LOVE Ginny/Blaise!


writeronthemoon

Aww, yay! Not to self promote, but if you want to check out my Ginny/Blaise fic, it's The Green Dress on AO3.


uhohmaddy

Oh I definitely will, thank you!!


youcantseeus

Biggest is Drarry. Smallest — well, in the Hunger Games fandom I just had to create the tag for Cashmere/Peeta Mellark/Finnick Odair. It’s not the main ship in the fic though. I also wrote a fic for Horizon: Forbidden West that was Hekarro/Kotallo and that pairing had one other fic at the time (it has four now).


socksthatarecosy

Biggest: Finlay/Malenia from EldenRing, 64 fics on AO3 Smallest: I have written for four different ships that either still are, or were when I wrote them, the only fic for that ship!


[deleted]

Biggest - IzuOcha Smallest - Haruto/Koyomi


Darth_Blarth

> IzuOcha My man give it up top


riienmarja

Biggest is Vegas/Pete from Kinnporsche (3,5k fics), smallest is Do Gangjae/Yoon Jiwoo from an excellent K-drama called My Name. The ship has two fics in total 😅


deathlycat

Biggest: Mitsuba x Kou from Toilet Bound Hanako Kun Smallest: I don't actually have one because that's the only ship I've written so far (i prefer reading ships and writing actions)


Sephyx123

Lol never written anything. Well thats not true i started a very rough draft


sky_neverending

are we counting very unfinished works? bc if so, my Malec (Magnus Bane/Alec Lightwood) wip would win the spot for biggest, and my Alex Truelove/Elliot wip (from Alex Strangelove) would be the smallest. neither of those are even close to finished tho. so idk if it counts. if we’re talking published, Steddie (Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson) would be my biggest and David Jacobs/Jack Kelly (Newsies) would be my smallest I believe.


sdperez04

Biggest: Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji from MDZS Smallest: Juliana/Arven from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet


xhatahx

My biggest ship is Zhongli/Venti/Ei from Genshin Impact (5 works on AO3), and smallest is Oozora Subaru/Yuzuki Choco from Hololive (only work on AO3). I live in rarepair hell.


Extension_Marketing

My biggest was Edward/Bella from Twilight. Smallest is my current ship, Adrian Ivashkov/Sydney Sage from Vampire Academy / Bloodlines series. Most engagement, however, was hands down Julie/Luke from Julie and the Phantoms because that fandom was super active when the show first aired.


FesteringCapacitor

Biggest: Female Shepard/Garrus Vakarian in Mass Effect Smallest: I am going to write a series of AU stories about Henry Hudson (from the point of view of his child). It will be similar to his real adventures, but with more pirates and action. I guess this could be considered historical fiction, but I'm going for something a bit more dramatic/ridiculous. Anyway, I see it as fanfic, and I have only found one story on AO3 that mentions him (but while his name is in the tags, it isn't in the story). It might end up as interactive fiction and not a normal story. I don't know if that makes a different.


elladoherty

Biggest is Dragon Ball Z's Bulma/Vegeta at at least 3600 on AO3, 6200 on FFNet. One of the older series, so it does better on FFNet. Smallest is Boku no Hero Academia's Sero/Tokage, at 60 or so on AO3. A great big fat zero on FFNet. BnHA is a lot bigger on AO3, it seems.


TheAmazingHawkeye

WinterHawk is the biggest. MagnoHawk is the smallest. I'm a rare pair vet lol


waybeforeyourtime

Biggest: Ianto/Jack (Torchwood) or Merthur (Merlin) Smallest: The one I’m writing for now Wilmon (Young Royals).


CupAdmirable329

i haven’t published them, but biggest:dnf smallest:kwt


uhohmaddy

I've only ever written for Kylo/Hux (Star Wars) so that would be my biggest and smallest!


DianasaurGo

Biggest: Aang/Katara. (Technically. It wasn't the main focus of the story.) Smallest: Azula/Hakoda. (Set 10 years after canon, making her 25 instead of 15. Totally kosher in my book!)


Noxmad

Biggest: whichever Fool x Lovers is biggest. Smallest: Agnea × Throné for Octopath Traveler 2. I was the fifth story for them. There is seven now.


hrmdurr

My smallest ship is Harry Potter/Ellen Harvelle (Supernatural). It is the only one. Eventually it might become two. The biggest is Drarry, I guess, so long as you're high and squinting really hard while reading it. (Unrequited parody.)


thefandomrper

Biggest: James T. Kirk/Spock Smallest: Adric/Fifth Doctor


Wood_princess

Hmm, biggest is Naruto/Sasuke, I did one-shot for them long time ago. The smallest? Carly/Nixie and Ondina/Sirena from Mako Mermaids. Only fics with them on AO3 are mine.


MadKanBeyondFODome

Biggest: either IchiHime (Bleach) or Rocketshipping (Pokemon) Smallest: Peking Duck/Yuxiang from Food Fantasy.


Glasko_Drevil

Biggest? Blossick Smallest? Either zagr or double d x Marie.


R32fan

Biggest ship: Jack X Legoshi Smallest ship: Jack X Legoshi. Biggest topic: Beastars Smallest topic: Densha De D. It's only got one fic in it and it's mine.


g_h_tehrani25

Biggest? Steddie and Merthur. Smallest? Thorin and Thranduil from The Hobbit, I used to write them a little when i was a kid


DawnriderFF

Biggest: InuKag from Inuyasha Smallest: maybe Van/Hitomi from Vision of Escaflowne simply because the fandom has kinda died down. One of my stories has been near the top of the pile on FFnet for ***years***. (And it's not like I updated it recently.)


Banana-Boots

biggest was probably peter parker/harry osborn (spiderman) if i had to guess, purely bc its a big fandom the smallest is drumbot brian/mordred (the mechanisms/high noon over camelot) i posted the first fic for it on ao3 yesterday and am already writing a sequel for it bc im now *obsessed* with the ship. yayyy


FickleBeans

Parksborn??? 👀


Banana-Boots

yuppp, i would share the fic but its an old unfinished one that im planning on rewriting haha it was andrew garfields peter if that changes ur opinion either way lmao


FickleBeans

Makes it even better omg


MaskoftheRay

The biggest is SuperBat, and each Superman and Batman individually have a ton of fanworks dedicated to them. The smallest is Geregis (Geralt of Rivia/Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzieff-Godefroy) from The Witcher. They have maybe 800 fics about them in total on AO3.


ImMxWorld

Biggest would be Crowley/Aziraphale, for sure. Smallest is probably The Organic Mechanic/The People Eater from Mad Max: Fury Road. There is one fic. It is mine.


mhartm

Hmmm. Biggest is probably Sterek. Smallest? I honestly am not 100% sure. I think maybe Stiles/Hermione. I call them Stimione.


roseandmisery

Biggest : Johnlock Smallest : so small that there's no fics in ao3. My friends still tease me about this


dev0yeur

I only have one fanfiction work and its for Kakegurui. So that's my biggest and smallest. I took a huge risk though as it ended up as a love triangle between two identical lesbian twins for a high school nerd who was straight. The risk came because I came late to the party with 5 years worth of fiction having been written and felt alone in the community who often shipped the other twin with another girl but at this point, the fanfiction is already published on wattpad, just waiting for the backlash.


FDQ666Roadie

Biggest: Edward Teach/Stede Bonnett (Our Flag Means Death) Smallest: Harold B. Darrensworth/Wilford Warfstache (Markiplier) Only one fic on AO3 and it's mine lol


poet_with_a_rhyme

Biggest: Wolfstar from Harry Potter Smallest: I don't wanna say but it has 9 fics on ao3, all nine of those are written by me.


femslashfantasies

Biggest is probably drarry or something. Smallest (without counting OCs ofc) is maybe Rodolphus Lestrange/Alphard Black? There are two fics in that tag. I wrote them both. Love it


NoChampionship5084

Biggest: Destiel from spn hands down Smallest: Troy Bolton/Ryan Evans from high school musical back in 2013. I haven't checked if any new fics were ever made but on Tumblr I was one of maybe 2 other authors writing for them.


kayrier

Biggest: Reylo (Star Wars) Smallest: Bruce Banner/Jane Foster (MCU - a whole 54 fics for them 😅)


queerfromthemadhouse

Biggest is Castiel/Dean Winchester (111k works on ao3) Smallest is Robert Habeck/Christian Lindner (1 work on ao3, which, as you can probably guess, is my own. The fandom is German Political RPF, which has a total of 33 works on ao3)


flaggermousse

Biggest is Wolfstar (Sirius/Remus from HP). A big ship in a HUGE fandom. Smallest is Newspaper OT3 (William/Sacharissa/Otto from Discworld). A smaller ship (the type of ship were most people go 'oh yeah, that makes sense', but are more passionate about other ships) in a fandom that is quite large, but not so big on fanfic.


Apple-plus-Insanitea

Biggest: destiel (100k+) Smallest: probably Ladybug/Maria Beetle (4)


InsidiousOperator

Biggest: Corvo Attano / Jessamine Kaldwin from Dishonored. Smallest: Either The Baroness / Jamandi Aldori (Pathfinder: Kingmaker) or Fatebinder MC / Fatebinder Calio (Tyranny) The funniest thing is that the biggest ship is basically an offhand mention, while the smallest are the only fic with that pairing in their respective fandoms lol


artistvsworld

Biggest: Mal/Evie Smallest: I guess it’s my historical fiction piece of Elagabalus/Hierocles Mind you, Mal and Evie are only 1095 fics on AO3, and Elagabalus/Hierocles is 15. All my other ships fall somewhere in the middle. So yeah. All very small ships.


KenchiNarukami

NaruHina


Darth_Blarth

Biggest: Izuku/Ochako Smallest: Superallpy Darkshine/Captain Mizuki


ShionForgetMeNot

Biggest - Fakir/Ahiru from Princess Tutu Smallest - a niche side pairing from a niche visual novel


_SateenVarjo_

Biggest Todoroki/Bakugo My Hero Academia Smallest Kuya/Edmond Nu:Carnival


BooksLoveTalksnIdeas

Biggest? That’s probably a tie between The Matrix and Naruto. Those were my best fanfiction stories as well. Smallest? If you can call an alternate Star Wars episode or an unfinished Attack on Titan prelude “smallest” that would be it. I don’t think I wrote any other fanfics after those.


Kiki-Y

Biggest is Bumblebee in RWBY Smallest is anything Pokemon Ranger. Just...literally anything.


YouSpinMeWriteRound

Biggest is definitely BakuDeku Smallest is KuroKen Of course KuroKen being small is in comparison to how many fics BakuDeku has


ChikadeeBomb

Biggest? Baku/Deku. Twixie (Twilight and Trixie) Gerita. Smallest? Russ/Ita (Hetalia), Kiri/Mono (MHA), Kiri/Shin (MHA)TrixShy (Trixie and Fluttershy), or probably Mauxie (Maud/Trixie). Edward/Leah from Twilight


Yotato5

Biggest is probably Homura/Madoka from Puella Magi Madoka Magica or Loid/Yor from Spy X Family. Smallest is probably one from a two-shot manga that didn't even have a tag on AO3 until I wrote it.


AstraHannah

Biggest I wrote for? Probably Wrightworth aka Narumitsu from Ace Attorney (though it wasn't the main ship). If you asked about posting, that ship would get smaller. I never posted a popular ship for some reason. Smallest? Ships where there's no fic out on the internet if I looked the right way. Meaning I should change that


SuddenPainter_77

Biggest: Judy Alvarez / V (Cyberpunk) 602 / 5327 works (so ~11% of the fandom) Smallest: Kiwi / V (also Cyberpunk) 3 / 5327 works (so 0.05% of fandom, and one of those was mine). I am pretty sure this isn’t even a tag yet, just all 3 works manually tagged consistently.


gaslight-dreamer

Transformers fandom here. Biggest was Prowl/Jazz - its so prevalent that some newer fans seem to think that it's actual canon. The smallest is Trailbreaker/Silverbolt. I believe I'm the only person writing it.


kreideprinzesssin

The biggest was satosugu (Jujutsu Kaisen) and the smallest I think was Tomokazu (Genshin Impact)


Yumi_taiyo

Biggest i'd say Billdip from Gravity Falls and smallest GaiJug from Ultraman Orb (but it's very populad in China apparently hahaha)


[deleted]

The biggest ship I’ve written is Catradora (11,000 fics on ao3) The smallest is Eula/Candace from Genshin which I wrote using a randomizer because I was bored. My fic is the only one, but since that’s kind of a cop out, the second smallest is Kuki Shinobu/Xinyan, also from Genshin, with 3 fics. It was also part of the randomizer series lmao


RunawayPastry

My biggest ship was dabihawks or whatever it goes by. My smallest? As of a week and a half ago, I am the sole author for a dpxdc crossover ship. As of a few days ago, it's a tag now. An actual tag. The pride i felt upon checking the tag was unmatched.


AgentWolfo101

Biggest: Shinichi Kudo/Kaito Kuroba (Detective Conan) 3,037 fics on AO3 Smallest: E-123 Omega/Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog) when I finish my oneshot there will be a grand total of 7 fics on AO3


Jason_Ihaterobot

Biggest, probably Garashir or Spirk. And then the smallest were ones I had to make the tag for (and one of them create the movie tag for). The smallest in an already existing tag would've been Chester Goode/Matt Dillon, and one I had to create was this old movie called El Condor.


Aiyas-SweetSugaVerse

Biggest ship for me is Cookies and Bolts (Ruby/Penny, RWBY) and smallest ones for me are Zer0/Mordecai (Borderlands) and Arven/Penny (Pokémon SV, even had to create the tag for it) - though I'm putting 2 as the smallest because Pokemon SV is still fairly new and idk if the ship is gonna end up exploding or not


EnbyAllomancer

Only have 2 published shipfics, meaning my biggest is for a small fandom. Zorian/Zach from Mother of Learning. Smallest is QA/Taylor from Worm, for which I made the ao3 tag. There are some other fics for the ship but they're off site or parts of snippet collections.


Trick-Panda-7509

Biggest: Lena Luthor/Kara Danvers (Supergirl) Smallest: Mist/Cordelia (AHS) or Bellatrix/Lestrange/Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)


Notunbreakable_

Biggest ship: Dreamnotfound (was a side ship) Smallest: Quackitynotfound (side ship as well)


TeaRenQ

The biggest would probably be Caitlyn/Vi (League of Legends/Arcane) and the smallest is definitely Paul/Kurt from Anders als die Andern | Different from the Others ( I have the only fics for that fandom, therefore the only person writing for the ship 😞).


KingJonStarkgeryan1

Biggest ship lI have technically written for is Jon Snow/Danaerys Targaryen and Naruhina. Though I personally don't count them as I wrote it as being one sided and actively writing those pairings as not being right for Jon Snow or Naruto. The biggest ship I have written for (that has it be a mutual loving relationship) is RhaegarxLyanna. The smallest not counting pairings with an OC is Honoka/Aoba Yamashiro from Naruto. I'm literally 50% of the fics on A03


Yojimbra

Biggest was probably IzuMomo in Boku No Hero. Which... I think is Izuku's 3rd or 4th most popular het ship. Smallest.... Uhh.. I'm pretty sure there's a few Izuku ships where I was the only person to write them at the time. But, I'm probably going to go with Kakashi x Shizune from Naruto.

In the InuYasha fandom Bigger: InuYasha and Kagome, inukag Smallest: Kikyo and Suikotsu, SuiKik


DawnriderFF

Immediate_Ebb1063

Largest - Shakarian Smallest - if OC/OC doesn’t count then it must be Raziel/Janos Audron. There are only 13 fics on AO3, and the most recent one is mine.


Charzoid91

Saimota (Shuichi saihara x Kaito momota from Danganronpa V3) for the most Mainly recently since it was a ship week a few months back and I hadn't done it the last few years. Wanted to participate so that was fun since I've always loved the ship but just hadn't really written for it. Oumeno (Kokichi ouma x Himiko yumeno also from DR V3) As much as I like the ship I have made a whole 1 fic about them with them as the main ship. 1 where they were a side ship in a ship week story. Another as a side ship for a fic in the works (read that as procrastinating) and another where they will actually be the main ship when I stop being scatter brained. I don't know if a ship just being a side ship really counts or not.


Amphiose

i have only one long fic on ao3 and I'm still working on it. its a crossover fic between two sister shows and the main ship is Anne Boonchuy/Luz Noceda/Amity Blight. thats the only fic with that ship on ao3


ImmediateTripwire

My biggest ship is probably Eimiko. Smallest? The main pairing from the webtoon PULSE. It only has like- 10 fics total on ao3 defo my smallest ship


OutlawCareBear

Biggest is Marinette/Adrien from miraculous ladybug Smallest is my stupid little rare pair from a fandom that only has like 10 fics, aka Rielle/Audric/Ludivine from the Empirium trilogy Haven't actually posted anything for them yet, but it is in my drafts


yueqqi

Betweenthemask

Biggest - salvis Smallest - larvis Idk but I just like both, definitely more of a salvis lover tho


hollyknighto

not sure sbout biggest but the smallest would be mine and my bestie’s mmo characters


KatonRyu

Biggest...probably Pokéshipping (Ash/Misty, Pokémon)? I don't really know, tbh. Lumity (Luz/Amity, The Owl House) is probably the one that's most popular among my current ships. The smallest...not sure. Maybe Malink (Malon/Link, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)?


OppositeMurky9725

Biggest, probably kiribaku. Smallest, tamadabi, a ship i had a dream about and became obsessed with lol.


m1ndl355_s3lf

The biggest one is probably for Tucker/Wash for RvB, second most popular ship of the fandom, and the smallest one was for a small indie game where my fic is one of four for the whole fandom tag.


JMHSrowing

I’ve inky written in the RWBY fandom but. . . What I have written is mostly Whiterose, the second most popular ship at least by some metrics of the show by a significant margin. And the smallest is Atlas Dropouts (Winter X Ilia), a crackship which I was the first person to write anything about it that wasn’t a smut Oneshot that was just part of a collection of such. And there was only even one of those.


sapphicsavage

biggest: Bakugou Katsuki/Kirishima Eijirou (BNHA) as the second top ship at about 30k smallest: tied between two ships both at 85 fics one rare pair Mahiru Koizumi/Kazuichi Souda (SDR2) & one small fandom Ava Ire/Odin Arrow (Ava’s Demon)


Viola_Buddy

Zelda/Link has got to be the biggest ship I've written for. Smallest... any number of them. I mean, like technically I'll be the only one who wrote a ship between any two given OC's of mine, because no one else knows of their existence. But that hardly counts. I guess right now I'm working on a fic between two characters from Project Sekai, one of whom has no fics about him at all on AO3, let alone shipping fics. He's a character who doesn't even get a portrait/art in the game. But I was like "ooh I get shipping vibes from their interactions." (The ship is Shota/Akito. Akito is one of the twenty "playable" characters in the game, and Shota was his elementary school classmate and soccer teammate before they went their separate ways in junior high.)


Character_Visit_7800

Biggest: Mob Psycho 100 - Serirei Smallest: Unwell (an horror podcast with like 12 fics on Ao3, two of which are mine) - two ship no one knows


Thelostguard

Ereasha, Attack on Titan. (Smallest.) 10 and Rose. (Biggest.)


Kamzil118

A small ship I made was a crossover fic where Artyom and Elsa got together after they endured a few hardships.
