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.

Format your comment in the following way:

If FILLING (all teams):

FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]

Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team you belong to
- Write it exactly as it appears on the team roster (without brackets) or your team will not receive points
Copy and paste the following form into a comment and fill it out. Delete things in brackets, and leave the HTML alone.

For fills:

First 3 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each

Why is this work awesome?: 5+1 angst!fic. DONE REALLY, REALLY WELL. This story is powerful - it reads like a tragedy, but it's cruel enough to leave things open-ended so YOU CAN HOPE BUT YOU'LL NEVER GET ANY RELIEF, AND YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH. It's a fantastic fill - I gushed about it better in the comment I left, maybe - and there are a lot of amazing details in the writing: super effective use of dialogue and contrast, and an incredible dynamic that takes show, don't tell and owns it. Seriously well written.

Why is this work awesome?: UOOGHH SOULMATE FIC. Oikawa's characterisation is perfect here - he's so blazing and intense, and Ushijima has this heavy, overbearing presence. The atmosphere is particularly hard, here - the dialogue cuts a little more than usual, and all of that just adds to the tense, whiplike dynamic of the ship. A classic rivalship fic, v v good :D

Why is this work awesome?: Who's the boy in the chair by Iwaizumi's bed? HE MAY NEVER KNOW ;_; The uncertainty of Iwaizumi's mind and his half-formed thoughts turn this fic into a real seesaw balance - it straddles that line between asleep and awake so well, and even while Iwaizumi can't quite parse what's going on, WE KNOW. IT MAKES YOUR HEART ACHE. That last line cuts deep.

You read it and think, like, ah, the setter way of thinking, and it's also very in character for Suga. IT IS SUGA WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT. It's actually a really funny fic??? But like, not in an over-the-top way, or a slipped-in-between-the-serious-bits way...it's simply the way the story's told, and the way Suga thinks? AND - AND IT'S ALSO REALLY GREAT FROM A RELATIONSHIP POINT OF VIEw - their senpai-kouhai dynamic is fabulous, and it's great when it's reversed, too. I'm not selling it enough but the Suga voice here ohmygosh it's perfect and you can tell he's a little sweet on Kageyama but the way that's shown is...JUST READ IT >.<

Why is this work awesome?: Firstly. THE TAG IS ACCURATE. The imagery in this is so beautiful, and the phrases sing with such lyricism. Each line aches like a heartbeat, and it's honestly a joy to read even as it's pulling your heart out through your teeth. (also good job tooru)

Why is this work awesome?: *cracks knuckles* NOW THIS IS A POEM. It has a really nice rhythm and the repetition of certain words/phrases gives it the feeling of a thought exercise of sorts? It steps forward and back and takes you on this great story, but it grounds itself in that one phrase 'boy meets boy' and dances around it, if that makes sense? It's really beautiful and definitely encompasses that idea of the momentary neverland in the title.

Why is this work awesome?: This is a uni!era fic that incorporates unrequited IwaOi/DaiSuga, heads up. It's really well-written and the relationships are hashed out in such a sensitive way - I like that neither Oikawa nor Daichi are willing to settle for a replacement, that they're moving on to something different, and that's okay.

The dialogue is so quotable *o* I really love the interaction between Mattsun and Oikawa here, and the comparisons drawn between them. I love how right after that, Mattsun rejects the notion of them being the same -- IwaOi is a different beast to MatsuHana, and it follows a different trajectory. THE WRITING IS SO GOOOD AND THE THEMES ARE TOO PAINFUL MY HEART IS STILL MENDING I NEED TO -- I NEED TO SIT DOWN AND TAKE A BREAK. COME PREPARED TO HAVE THE BREATH SUCKED OUT OF YOU.

The colouring is incredible - his nose?? It's such a gorgeous aesthetic, but it brings the tears for sure.

The interplay between them has this great atmosphere where Tooru seeks and Iwaizumi gently sways him onto the right path. It's really nice! There's one particular line of Iwaizumi's that I really love.

It's a great fic which delves really nicely into his character.
