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.

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!

Yowamushi Pedal Recs: Now THAT’S What I Call KinMaki; Vol. 2

Why is this work awesome?: In this fill, Makishima is an evil mountain spirit, whom apparently Kinjou still trusts with decision making. The whole fill is fabulous. Monster!Maki looks amazing, with glowing eyes and sharp teeth, and green curling smoke surrounding him, all coming together to make the ominous whole. I also love how darkly lit it all is, with the close-up on Kinjou, who also seems menacing despite, presumably, being human. Overall, perfect and chilling.

Why is this work awesome?: This fill is a remix of the one above, and honestly they go together perfectly. I absolutely love the feel of this fill. It’s creepy with hints of body horror as Makishima takes on his “true form”, but there’s a sense of familiarity and trust between him and Kinjou that makes the whole thing weirdly sweet, even as the body horror ramps up a bit for both of them. A very good read!

Title: [art] Alien Makishima does Kinjou a favor

Why is this work awesome?: So, I love sports anime scifi AUs, so of course I fell in love with this art. Alien Makishima looks so good, with the glowing spots and stripes all over. I also love his smug smirk; so very Makishima despite the alien features. Kinjou’s face is also wonderful, squinting, almost disbelieving. I love the whole thing, it’s beautiful.
