Snowflake Challenge Day 5

[gwyn]

I'm skipping 3 and 4 since I don't do very well with goal-setting and I've been interacting with a lot of people lately already.

Day 5

In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

It's always good when this happens after a big challenge has just finished up!

I loved this Good Place story in Yuletide, it captures so much of what I love about the show.

Strange as Angels (3055 words) by burglebezzlement

How do you solve a problem like Jianyu? Certainly not by breaking into Michael’s office with Eleanor’s help. Tahani wouldn’t dream of it.

This Losers story is utterly amazing. I just...I can't even.

Summary:

Jensen shifted his gaze to Cougar. “I really thought that if I ever had to say the words ‘telepathic disaster,’ it’d be a lot cooler than this is turning out to be.”

This Kings story is the kind of thing we rarely ever get in this fandom--long, plotty, great writing, fantastic characterization.

ISN'T SOLID COPY AMAZING???????? (I *knew* it had to have been written by someone who has had years of access to my locked posts and I was SO RIGHT about that.)

Oh! Hey! I should read Stange as Angels! (And watch Kings so I can read the third story.)

[gwyn]

If you want to watch Kings I AM YOUR GIRL. I need to rewatch anyway for clip stuff.

I *need* to read that Losers story! I just haven't had the time since Yuletide posted. Thanks for the reminder.

[gwyn]

It's really good!

Singlue Use Weapon is a fabulous story. Very in character for them all. I havent read the other two yet, but I've bookmarked them both. I'm looking forward to reading them.

[gwyn]

It's extraordinary, isn't it? So unusual for the fandom to have something that long and plotty, and yes, the characterization was wonderful!

Thanks so much for rec'ing Solid Copy. I missed it originally and it's fantastic.

[gwyn]

Yay, I'm glad!
