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
Copy and paste the following form into a comment and fill it out. Delete things in brackets, and leave the HTML alone. 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.

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?: This is sad and soft and sweet and painful, the way you'd expect with the subject matter. My favourite thing is Oikawa's resilience, because it's a part of his personality that I love so much, and Serena's portrayed it so well here. He doesn't let this break him, and faces it with such maturity, and I love that. I love Iwaizumi being supportive, I love the thought of him folding cranes for Oikawa, I love him apologising that he didn't finish them in time, I love him just knowing when he has to be there for Oikawa. Even though this fill focuses on Oikawa, Iwaizumi is still an important presence there, just as he is to Oikawa, and Serena's put everything together so well.

Why is this work awesome?: Serena is incredibly talented when it comes to descriptions, and I think this fill is a good example of that. She uses her words so well to build this image of a dreamland that is both surreal and evocative, and I feel that it really helps you relate to Iwaizumi as you read. Oikawa is so wonderfully playful here, and I like the thought of Iwaizumi leaving him ruffled for a change.

Why is this work awesome?: I love when immortality is portrayed this way, the ennui, the difficulty with remembering things because it's been so long, the way he just leaves immediately, looking so jaded. Iwaizumi's reaction is really well written as well; even in this au, he's so good at handling Oikawa, and Serena's translated that really well to fit the premise.
