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!

- 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):

FILL: TEAM BRO<3GRANDPA
Team: Dave<3Jade
Creator: Main Round 1 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: Prohibition era New York? Hell Yes. The atmosphere was chilling and effective--the setting became a character, which pretty much makes me flail happily whenever that comes across in a fic. Adding to that would be the art used in the piece, which was absolutely stunning, gosh. And the dialogue! The dialogue was particularly strong, and the way the author(s?) made the two interact and play off each other was a delight to read. Also features Jade being incredibly badass and awesome, which is what everyone wants, isn't it?
Rec 2: 69 to 1 Odds
Team: Jade<3John<3Karkat
Creator: Main Round 1 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: It's entertaining; it's adorable; it's well-paced; it's hilarious. The characterizations were fantastic, and it was nice seeing Jade and John come together as an epic tag-team of annoying the hell out of Karkat Vantas. The art that accompanied this fic was adorable and meshed with the mood of the piece quite well. I don't really know how much I should give away, but I thought the ending was great; it wrapped everything together and established this fic as an overall delight.
Rec 3: Know when to fold, boys.
Team: Eridan<3Feferi<3Sollux <3< Eridan
Creator: Main Round 1 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: Okay, so I know absolutely nothing about art. All I know is that just looking at this piece gives me feelings. I like the color choices (especially the blue used for Sollux as;lkfj), the texture, and all of the great details, like Feferi's jewelry. The expressions on their faces are fucking ace. I looked at this piece and I came up with my own story as to what might have happened to lead up to this point (and what might happen after), and I think that shows just how great it is.
