Alphabet fic meme  
Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for starting a fic title? One fic per line, ‘A’ and 'The’ do not count for 'a’ and ’t’. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count.
 
So I'm going to be lazy and go from backwards on the AO3 list (thus a lot of these will be from 2025), mainly because I should really be heading off to bed right now, but I just ate so I figured I'd give my digestive system some time to digest... {yeah I'm still going to regret that in the morning anyway.}

Y: You're like an angel (X-Men Evolution, Cyclops/Rogue, 2025)
Z: Zombie-Free (Smallville/Zombieland, Chloe/Tallahassee, 2010)

Looks like that is only 3 missing out of 160 works listed at AO3... but according to my fic community [community profile] harpiewriting I really have 654 (sometimes I group my drabbles together at AO3 plus I think of a lot of the older stuff isn't there). Still not shabby at all I think. Can't believe I don't have E or X (I apparently never made the X- pun/titles like The Gifted did their episodes and various comics have done). Q is a little more easier to understand for why I'm missing it not a lot of words are coming to my head with that letter, other than maybe question - LOL.

I also feel like I should get more creative with my titles I think... 

EDIT 11/15/25: Added Q! and E!

Great, just three to go! :D
E is an unusual one to be missing and might be the easiest to use in a title. Every/Each for example? I'm loving see all the entries for this :)

*facepalm* Omg yes! I could definitely use Every or Each - I can't believe I didn't think of that. I'll have to remember that in the future.

I know I saw the fic meme on several peoples journals and loved the idea of it. I had tons of examples for several of the letters to choose from, I think the next time I fill this one out, I'll put some of my favorites instead of the latest ones.
