Disclaimer: The works listed below (especially the ones in the Top 5 categories) are Mor(g)wen works by the best estimation of momo, who compiled the stats. Momo checked the summaries, tags, and author’s notes to determine if these fics looked like they actually focused on Mor(g)wen as a pairing, or at least gave the pairing a central role, rather than treat them as background decoration. If any of the listed fics aren’t Mor(g)wen works by the estimate of a Mor(g)wen shipper, we apologise for the error.
