Bonus Round 7: Recs

[referees]

You've created so much during this event, so here's a round to celebrate each other's achievements!

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

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.

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. <b>Title:</b> <b>URL:</b> <b>Creator(s):</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Major Tags:</b> <b>Why is this work awesome?:</b> -- <b>Title:</b> <b>URL:</b> <b>Creator(s):</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Major Tags:</b> <b>Why is this work awesome?:</b> -- <b>Title:</b> <b>URL:</b> <b>Creator(s):</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Major Tags:</b> <b>Why is this work awesome?:</b> [you can copy-and-paste this format to include more recs in your comment if you'd like.]

Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.

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.

Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

Why is this work awesome?: It's to be expected from someone on the ship team, I guess, but Naruko's dialogue in this is so compelling, his character so solid -- The setting of this is more hinted at than anything, but enough is shown that you get the sense of a much bigger journey than what's shown here, and it makes that moment when Naruko finally finds what he's looking for that much more impactful.

Why is this work awesome?: Based on that moment where Naruko defends Imaizumi, and this portrayal of a potential aftermath encompasses all the great things about their dynamic -- their rivalry and their competitive spirits, the way they rile each other up, but also their deep-seated trust of one another, their growing affection. A really nice fic!
