So this is sort of in the spirit of that AO3 meme that I did a while ago, where people posted links to the ten stories that had the most hits.
Instructions: Go to your AO3 account. Sort by hits in ascending order. Post links to the stories with ten or fewer hits here.

Eight hits: (Nothing, apparently.)
Nine hits:

Indiscretion (FFVII, Rude, M)
Ten hits:
Thaw (FFVI, Celes/Terra, M)
The Problem With Roller Coasters (FFVII, Cloud/Yuffie, G)
Total: 35
So... most of these aren't that surprising, being in small fandoms that didn't get much of a following anywhere, let alone on this archive. And at least some of them are fairly new. Other than that... eh. Not seeing that much in the way of patterns here.
I do still think it's interesting to look at, though.
(On a side note, after I finished this list, I looked for more Setzer/Daryl fics, that being one of my favorite pairings ever. But the links for Daryl and Setzer/Daryl haven't even been marked common yet; there are no fics about her, or them, on AO3. I'm honestly surprised.)
