Call Of Duty, Sonic and Baldur's Gate in the top fan fiction charts of 2024

Summary

  • The top 100 fanfic ships of 2024 have been released.

  • The list includes several games, the most popular of which are League of Legends, Baldur's Gate, and Call of Duty.

  • The most popular in-game couple of 2024 is Jace and Viktor thanks to Arcane, although Cailin and Vi have more fanfics overall.

We've got Spotify Wrapped and all its copies, but now for the best retrospective of 2024: the AO3 charts. For those of you who don't know, AO3 is a popular fanfic site that is often used to share work that depicts the relationship between two or more characters.

The 2024 charts show us which of these relationships – or ships – were the most popular last year. Quite a few video game couples have made the cut, though the ones that did might surprise you. Or not if you're deep in the fandom mines.

From Astarion/Tav to Soap/Ghost, here's who's been at it in 2024

These statistics were compiled by looking at fanfics distributed on AO3 in 2024. The chart itself was compiled by AO3 user centeroftheselights and the results can be read here.

There are many different types of media featured here, but for our purposes, let's dive into the video games that made the list. In 2024, the seventeen most popular fanfictions are related to games:

  • Alhaitham and Kaveh from Genshin Impact.

  • Adventurer and Dr. Ratio from Honkai: Star Rail.

  • Soap and Ghost from Call of Duty.

  • Blade and Dan Heng from Honkai: Star Rail.

  • Gale and Tav from Baldur's Gate 3.

  • Astarion and Gale.

  • Astorion and reader.

  • Kamishiro Rui and Tenma Tsukasa from SEKAI Project: Colorful Stage.

  • The ghost and the reader.

  • Lukanis and the Rook from Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

  • Ekko and Jinx from League of Legends.

  • Sonic and Shadow from the game Sonic the Hedgehog.

  • Tortaglia/Child and Zhongli from Genshin Impact.

From here we see Baldur's Gate and League of Legends dominating the charts, each occupying multiple spots with different characters. However, in the case of League of Legends, credit must go to the Arcane TV series, as it saw CaitVi and JayVik take off on AO3.

The release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard also catapulted the series into the top 100, thanks to a dedicated fanfic community of support over the years. Sonic and Shadow also barely made it to the end, a fitting conclusion to the Year of Shadows.

Unfortunately, no game managed to take the top spot overall, and it went to the US TV show 9-1-1. More success this year?
