This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on August 24 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

RULES

• Recommend at least three fanworks from main or bonus rounds. Your recommendations don’t have to be connected in any way, and you do not need permission to recommend a work.
• Don't rec your own work. You can recommend things created by your own team, but please spread the love to other teams too.
• Each recommendation must include at least two sentences explaining why that fanwork is awesome. Please use the format specified below.
• You may recommend as many works as you like, as long as they are posted separately in groups of at least three.
• There will be no prompts for this round. Simply post each fill/recommendation list as a comment in response to this post.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

SCORING

These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many fills as you want!

For fills:

First 3 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 4-10: 10 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21+: 2 points each

All scored content must be created new for this round.

Etc.

If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only.

Why is this work awesome?: This has a more serious tone than the other two, but it's just as sappy -- Chris is so affectionate, and the way Tanba just melts with him is...really, really amazing. It's like a lesson in learning to be comfortable, and especially given Tanba's character it's so rewarding to read.

[catlarks]

whispers very softly, thank you.

Tanba is one of my absolute favorite characters in daiya (which is... hard sometimes, with how little the fandom cares for him) and I want him to be happy and loved and comfortable. ;;

Why is this work awesome?: Team KuraMiyu is a juggernaut, what even. With all of my recs I am essentially reccing creators, lbr, but you want fic that consistently makes your heart sing, this is the person?? This fic in particular is great for exploring the KuraMiyu dynamic and how intimate it can be. There's great dialogue, but there's also beautiful body language and a wonderful atmosphere where the title is an anchor you just come back to over and over again as you read through -- it both shapes and is shaped by the fic, and there are so many good themes that come out over the course of a read-through.

Why is this work awesome?: This offers a closer, more focussed perspective of the relationship, I feel, but it's just as beautiful. I particularly like the contrast in the format of this one, and how it relies more on body language than the other fic above, which puts more of a focus on conversation.

Why is this work awesome?: The worldbuilding in this is really great! And I love the distinction this fic makes between being 'a king' and 'someone's king'. The format advances the plot in a very clear way; each section builds on the previous one and adds a new layer until the final section wraps everything up. It's the reason why the ending feels so complete -- this fill is incredibly self-contained, in spite of its expansive, wonderful setting, and that makes it a really nice fic to just read through and enjoy.

It takes a deep look at Niou, at what drives him to impersonation, and it made me love and respect him when I never had before. I can't say enough good things about this entry. ♥♥♥

Why is this work awesome?: i never really got into hp but this is great! kuramochi with a gigantic crush and not hiding it very well, ryousuke with that sort of edge of danger about him and his "get on my level or get the fuck off" style. i adore him. also!!! non-slytherin ryousuke this is very important to me, i'm so happy.

Why is this work awesome?:

This fill is FUN, it balances their self-destructiveness and competitiveness with a lighthearted bedroom setting. Of course they're both trying to win, of course it's a competition (because why wouldn't it be, surely this is just what healthy vampire/human couples do). There's this persistent edge of longing throughout the story, but it comes from both sides of oikage here, and they're hungering for a couple different things at once... you know you want a taste ;)

Why is this work awesome?:

A story about dark power dynamics written in blood, or: "Red is a good color on you, Tobio-chan." That's the best way I can describe this *v* The dangerous cycle of Oikawa wanting to hit it until it breaks, and Kageyama not knowing how to stay away because he can't ever get enough -- if that's your jam, I highly recommend this!

Why is this work awesome?:

I hope anyone who doesn't mind these tags has already read this cuz like. It's one of my favorite fills from this year and I'm not even sure how to rec this coherently?? The atmosphere is so intense, charged with hints of a backstory and even amazingly inappropriate romantic tension. The imagery is somehow beautiful and horrifying all at once, and has this eerie quality of being cut off from time ("Keep count for me, Tobio, like you used to do"). My creepy little ghoul heart soars higher than ever for this gentle persuasion~

Why is this work awesome?: i remember waking up to a notif of this fill in my inbox and dying, i kept it open in a tab for at least a day i think so i could keep coming back to look at it. i'd seen this artist's work around before and really liked their style, so i was thrilled to get a fill from them based merely on that, and then to see that it was for this prompt...... i wouldn't have been surprised if someone had done a silly fill for this considering the prompt, and i would've loved that, but the straight-up hotness of this art is so??? i think i like their expressions the most, Bokuto all vulnerable with tears and drool and Kuroo licking his lips, looking so eager *u*

Why is this work awesome?: i actually deleted the prompt shortly after making it bc it was kind of embarrassing and also really... long... but then my friend Shannon told me they'd made something for it and could i re-post it, please? i'm so glad they saw it within the few hours i posted and deleted it originally because, holy shit. again, i love the expressions, Teshima's smug face and Imaizumi suffering but also looking very happy about it. i also really love that Teshima isn't wearing anything particularly BDSM- or dominant-like, he's just in his fuckin star T-shirt and shorts because, why does he have to dress up to use Imaizumi as a footstool, this is just business as usual right?

Major Tags: (non-explicit) sexual content, body horror, weird genitals, transformation, aphrodisiacs
Why is this work awesome?: i love this so much...... their characterization is excellent (Kuroo being all *eyebrow waggle* @ Tsukki and Tsukki being all cool and tsun despite worrying about Kuroo) and i like how it was bookended with two magical items and ended with Tsukki doing what he was berating Kuroo about at the beginning. (picturing what must have come after that is also very nice.) even though this is an AU for what's essentially a porn game, i zoomed on them being sweet with each other bc i'm a sap (Kuroo saying he'd probably drop anything and follow Tsukki almost anywhere, including "fuck dimension", and Suga pointing out how Tsukki was probably grumbling at Kuroo because he was worried about him :') ) (the bonus kurosuga and Suga's role in this was also a great touch)

Why is this work awesome?: i'm so goddamned tickled by this fill. i'm impressed that the artist actually managed to fill for "handcuff me to my own butt" literally (Akaashi is resourceful tho, i should've expected he'd find a way to do it). i like Kuroo's "nervous not sure if into it but is Akaashi into it, does he approve??" face. i like that the strap-on harness implies that Kuroo is dfab or Akaashi is dfab and leant it to him
