sportsanime | Bonus Round 7: Recs

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

Title: URL: Creator(s): Rating: Major Tags: Why is this work awesome?: -- Title: URL: Creator(s): Rating: Major Tags: Why is this work awesome?: -- Title: URL: Creator(s): Rating: Major Tags: Why is this work awesome?: [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.

Injuries/Medical AUs (aka Yrin's weakness Part 1)

Title: BR1 Midorima & Iwaizumi & Oikawa injury fic
URL: "Midorima is on day three of his rotation in the orthopedics department when he finds a pair of high schoolers charming a nurse."
Creator(s): chiharu
Rating: G
Major Tags: injury
Why is this work awesome?: Med student Midorima trying to talk Oikawa into actually taking care of his knee would be reason enough to rec this in my opinion, but on top of that, it's incredibly well-written, and chiharu captures the IwaOi dynamic and Midorima's pricklier-on-the-outside tendencies perfectly. Watching Midorima slowly open up over the course of the appointment until he finally manages to get through to Oikawa is heartwarming.

Title: arterial
URL: "when miyuki reaches to take shunpei’s pulse his touch is careful, deliberate" (AO3)
Creator(s): kitaiichis
Rating: T
Major Tags: none
Why is this work awesome?: Med students Miyuki and Shunpei. Daiya no A isn't even one of my fandoms, but the gentleness and understated intimacy here was too lovely not to share. I love how the fic transitions seamlessly between the clinical and the sensual.

Title: BR1 Iwaizumi/Oikawa fic
URL: "Remember when Oikawa finally pushed his knee past the breaking point?"
Creator(s): sotongsotong
Rating: G
Major Tags: injuries
Why is this work awesome?: This fic is so beautiful and so sad. I love how both Iwaizumi and Oikawa fight so hard against the inevitable while simultaneously accepting that it's going to happen eventually anyway.

Title: BR2 Iwaizumi/Oikawa fic
URL: "Nothing is invincible. Nothing is unbreakable."
Creator(s): kiyala
Rating: G
Major Tags: none
Why is this work awesome?: I have a weakness for introspection and fic with minimal (or no) dialogue, and this fic hits both of those. The tension and contrast between Oikawa's physical injuries/growth and Kageyama's mental growth is also very fluid and well done.

Title: BR1 Fukutomi & Kinjou fic
URL: "The atmosphere in the hospital room is so heavy that Fukutomi feels as if it's suffocating him."
Creator(s): kiyala
Rating: G
Major Tags: permanent injury
Why is this work awesome?: An exploration of an AU in which Kinjou suffers career-ending injuries after his run-in with Fukutomi in the Interhigh. The whole fic is heartbreaking not just for the content, but also for the sense of barely-contained grief that runs through it.

WAHHH!! I'm glad you enjoyed Dr.Midorima! He was truly a delight to write ;A; Thanks for the rec!
