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.

Why is this work awesome?: Not even gonna lie, I love necromancy and I love when everything just feels so cold (I LOVE THAT OIKAWA KEEPS IWAIZUMI’S BODY IN A POND!!), and this fill has all of that, but also: that light touch of something so soft and bittersweet when things are so changed between them, but ultimately not at all. It’s desperate, and it’s lovely, and I love Oikawa grasping for all that he can. It’s a good look for him.

Why is this work awesome?: KAGEYAMA SAYING “IWA-CHAN-SAN” IS A GIFT. This is such a great follow-up to the first necromancy fill, which was full of heartache, because this one goes right into that wonderful, affectionate iwaoi kind of bickering that they do, while apprentice Kageyama kinda just… awkwardly looks on, and it’s every kind of funny and delightful.

Why is this work awesome?: I absolutely love the way this is written -- the daily happenings of their lives, the reminder that They Do Not Touch. It’s the contrast of complete normalcy, of sweet domesticity, with that constant niggling feeling of death that’s always there, that really sets a great tone for this. The cling wrap kiss is a classic, and I’ve always loved the normalcy vs weirdness of that, too.

covers my mouth. Thank you for this!! ;;; I was particularly fond of that verse and I'm glad you enjoyed reading it so much!
