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):

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?: I love watching people run the imanaru = sasunaru joke into the ground, so I am totally here for this. But it’s really all the little character details that make this so charming: Naruko bringing his brothers to the con, Imaizumi’s tan lines giving him away as a cyclist. And of course, I am always for Onoda and Miki being the biggest imanaru cheerleaders!! <3

Why is this work awesome?: I LOVE IMANARU!!! I love Chiha’s voices for them, Imaizumi’s seemingly cool demeanor (WHAT A FAKE) hiding his affection, Naruko’s loudness -- they play off each other so well, and I love that they never lose the spark they have even as they get older. And I love future fic so much, I love them doing what they love here, and reaching for their big dreams, and I love it’s framed against such a lovely, domestic backdrop in this fill.

Why is this work awesome?: How do you rec this double redblue shipping because here I am, and here we are. (The way all the characters are mapped is great, too!! Princess Miki!!!) The way Imaizumi and Naruko ruffle each others’ feathers is always a delight, and it’s no less delightful here in the context of Lance and Keith -- Naruko being indignant about their bonding moment is so classic. BUT IT’S REALLY THE PUNCHLINE THAT’S THE CUTEST, truly the best bonding moment of all.
