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):

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. <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?: Oh my god, spy AU! I love Oishi just sitting there worrying over Eiji. It’s so nice, building up this worry and tension, and it only breaks a little when Eiji comes back, there’s still this edge of risk to it that keeps you on edge, just like Oishi is, even though realistically he should relax already. I love that Eiji is flippant despite everything. I also, I love the choice of target for their mission, A+

Why is this work awesome?: Wow, Samy. This is... This sure is a Golden Pair fic... Everything is cute and sweet. Their visit to the aquarium is so cute, I love how Eiji is clearly indulding his boyfriend, the cute little intimate moments... And then the fill just casually scoops my heart out with a dull spoon, thanks Samy.

Why is this work awesome?: Oh lord… I mean, I’m not surprised at all, this is the Golden Pair porn that Golden Pair was made for. If you have a character that can double himself, threesome is the only solution. But the fact that sex is clearly the first thing that Eiji decides to do once he can make this power happen off of the court… Wow. And Oishi, oh my god, Oishi. I can’t even blame you for this reaction, that’s… This fill is really cute.
(... Okay, fine, so the fact that Oishi tries to bring out his “Inner Inui” to explain this makes me smile a lot. Maybe you need to bring in your outer Inui to... study this...)
