I think all my stories are now archived on AO3. It wouldn't surprise me if I was wrong, but there's 22 of 'em there now and that seems about right ... so I have done my part for the fandom forces of archiving good.
This is great to hear. I had really been craving a re-read of 'With Kings'. Nice to be able to find so many of my favorites in one spot.
'With Kings' contains one of my all-time favorite passages of any fanfic. When Napolean thinks Illya is going to chose staying with the Emir, rather than re-joining his partner and he all but begs Illya not to leave him. Illya's response is perefect: “Napoleon.” Illya laid his hand on his partner’s arm. “What makes you think I could?”
Oh! That is so gorgeous. I love your stories, and your vision of the guys.
I'm a believer in archiving because I've been through that cycle with a new fandom where you get all these great recs that you want to read ... and they're nowhere to be found because the writer, or the site, has gone away (as now Skyhawke has done, alas, alas), but I'm lazy too. It's past time I did this. I really need to archive my other fandom stuff too (like my few S&H stories!). It's the thoughtful thing to do for future readers. :-) AO3 does make it easy.
I was kinda surprised at how many there were! I'd forgotten a couple of them, sort of, you know. You don't really forget a story, but you go "Oh, yeah, that one."

I can't help it, I have bookmarks for short stories :)
ETA: I'm glad you're putting them all in one place though, thank you!
