Data Collection

Last night I started writing yet another Fiyeraba wedding in my latest fanfiction. Occurring in chapter 7, it is the earliest a wedding has ever occurred in one of my fics, although it is not your typical Fiyeraba wedding.
I can't really say more because it gives away the plot, but anyone who has read Rebecca will understand what I mean.

And that segued into just how many Fiyeraba weddings I have written. And children/pregnancies whatever. The result is the following table, a collection of data from all 40 (including the one I'm writing at the moment) Wicked fanfictions I have written since 2010.

 The title column is fairly obvious, so you know which story we're talking about. 
Fiyeraba Weddings: Any story where Elphaba and Fiyero get married, including All These Years when I only wrote the reception. 

Pregnancy/Birth/Baby: Any story where a pregnancy is even referred to in passing. 

Fiyeraba Older Children: When Elphaba and Fiyero's children are featured in a story where they are at the age when they can talk.

Character Death: This doesn't have to be a major death, just a death that is necessary for the plot. 

Major Dramatic Event: Instances when their is any dramatic near death experience in a story. Shooting, cancer, running over by a carriage, breaking Fiyero's nose... you know, the usual. 

Surprisingly, the only story that has all 5 things is my current fic...
