Recs
Hey, shippers! This is the last bonus round, which we’re all very sad about. So let’s talk about some of the awesome stuff created throughout the HSO!
Rules
- Rec at least three fanworks from the main or bonus rounds! They do not have to be connected to each other in any way.
- You may not recommend material created by members of your own team.
- Each recommendation must include at least three full sentences about why it’s awesome. Please use the format specified below.
- You may recommend as many sets as you like, so long as each set has at least three recs in it.
Title & Rec Format
If you are doing a fill, use this format in your title.
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.
The content of the post should be in this format (extend as necessary):
Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Why I’m recommending it: Wow, okay for starters I know some people get mildly annoyed when someone says 'I don't ship this but,' however, it seems just appropriate. The fact that this story is so good that someone who doesn't even ship this can get tons of enjoyment out of it is an amazing feat not to be taken lightly (I never had anything against it, just not my fancy). I find myself just really liking the characterization, the plot, the ideas, and the setting. It was witty, hilarious, and very well thought out. It caused me to have an urge to read more of the pairing. I find myself quite liking it now. Definitely read it if you haven't already, it will not be a waste of your time. It is literally 100% perfect. I found nothing wrong with it.

Why I’m recommending it: It's great! The pictures were very wonderful, the plot was very hilarious and cute. I really enjoyed the faces they made in the art myself, they were very adorable and I just really loved them! Also, AR is hilarious and a very serious policeman c:

Why I’m recommending it: This was hands down my FAVORITE from round one things. I really just love it, I've already been fond of the pairing before but this just made my heart ache with love feelings towards these two babies. I think the set up was very well and fit the prompt greatly. The humor was hilarious and it didn't focus too much on romance even though it was plainly obvious that they really loved each other a whole lot. The ending was amazing, and the superhero thing was implemented perfectly. I enjoyed just every aspect of it, I wouldn't mind re-reading it a million times. Rose and Karkat were a good touch to the story!
