Title:Shinkai & Imaizumi as Time Agents Creator(s):princesssid Rating: T Major Tags: swearing, threats of violence Why is this work awesome?: I absolutely love the premise of this fic, because I adore any fiction that plays with timelines and time travel and the idea of Imaizumi and Shinkai as operatives who rely on time travel to complete missions for their respective organizations is really great. I love their characterization and how they obviously have history with each other, but how the nature of that history is something slowly revealed to the reader as the story unfolds. I also really love that even in a wildly non-canon AU, bikes still show up — I love Shinkai's "time bike" he claims at the start of the story, and the way it's brought back in later on.
Title:Tadomaki Superhero and Costume Designer Creator(s):babster Rating: T Major Tags: food mention Why is this work awesome?: This is such a cute execution of a really cute premise where Tadokoro is a superhero known as "The Bear" and Makishima is the wealthy inventor who provides not just all of his gadgets, but his costumes as well. All the little details about Tadokoro's tools and his costumes and their history together are really great, adding up to a scene that's remarkably domestic (in a good way!) for a superhero AU. How much Tadokoro and Makishima care for each other is very evident, and I adore that.
Title:Miyahara Makes A Deal With Witch Miki Creator(s):kiyala Rating: G Major Tags: none Why is this work awesome?: This fic is delightful for its quiet, careful narration, perfectly evocative of a fairytale. The descriptions of the forest and the magic within it are really nice, and I love that Miki is gentler than Miyahara may have thought to expect but that even this feels entirely natural. This is a story that reads like being read to, a tale in which the bargains are fair and characters get what they have earned, which is just a pleasant read all around.
