Fandom Snowflake Challenge - Day 2

Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create.

I completely failed to keep up with this year’s Snowflake Challenge, but it’s never too late for recs, so here’s three of my faves from last year:

And Straight On 'Til Morning by Selkit (Until Dawn, Gen, 3004 words)

"Jess and Matt make the trek back to the lodge, step by halting step."

I'm very biased here, but this fic is everything I ever wanted from the UD fandom: friendship, post-trauma emotional support, and Jess & Matt bonding over creepy monsters and insecurities. Beautifully written, with some delightful character moments.

The Lazy Painter by BlackMageofPhantasm (One Piece, Gen, 87003 words, WIP)

"Really, it was supposed to be an easy mission. They'd kill the pirates, capture the princess and then she'd go back to eating her rice crackers. But all of her allies had been defeated, leaving her alone. It would've been so easy to let her enemies go, but she wouldn't. She was a pro, and no matter who her targets were, she'd always complete the mission. Nothing would change that."

A One Piece canon divergence AU starting right after Little Garden where Miss Goldenweek sneaks aboard the Merry to finish her mission and promptly gets herself caught; featuring friendship, character development, and the Straw Hats being the weirdest pirates on the seas.
Also it's an epic length fic that adds backstory & character development to a minor female character without making it about romance and if that's not the dream idk what to tell you.

 

Professor Peach’s Adventures in Pokémon Recovery (Pokémon, Gen, N/A)

Absolutely lovely comics about Pokémon care and care through Pokémon; easily some of my favourite Pokémon headcanons out there.
