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?: this main round 2 entry is an illustrated fic for a very fun spy au. even though we know the mysterious shukurimu has to be hanamaki, there’s still a lot of suspense built through matsukawa’s worries and the notes left behind at each scene. i’m always a sucker for side characters, so seeing kindaichi, oikawa, and iwaizumi in the fic was really great! the first art piece is really cute with pretty colours, and the second is gritty and intense, and they are both so perfect for their respective scenes. i really love this \o/

Why is this work awesome?: this illustrated fic entry for main round 1 is a yakuza au. there are SO MANY THINGS i love in this fic: kanou pov, kanou/mihashi, arranged marriage trope, found family, the canon incidents that are explored in this fic (mainly mihashi back on his middle school team, finding a team in high school, etc.). the more i read, the more i found things i loved. the illustrations for this fic fit so well. they’re all in sepia, giving it an old school gangster movie feeling, and they’re all so expressive! my favourite might be the first one, it’s a beautiful scene with the promise of adventure to come :>

Why is this work awesome?: this illustrated fic entry for main round 1 explores what would happen if ogata died and started haunting hikaru. this is such an interesting idea and i love the execution of it, all the complicated emotions hikaru goes through, how it brings him back to thinking about sai. the art has a lovely, loose style. i particularly like the melancholy look on hikaru’s face in the first illustration, and ogata reaching out and meeting sai in the last one. this was really thoughtful and bittersweet!
