Rec 1:Of Machiavellian Creators Team: Meenah<3<Roxy Creator: Team Round 2 entry Why I’m recommending it: This little piece tells a short story that isn't quite prose, and doesn't fill itself with useless flowerly language. It's a good narrative, with a clear begining, middle, and end, the latter of which is entirely unhappy. It's due to this ending, I think, that the piece didn't get pushed forward into the main round. Too bad, since the sheer heaviness of this entry is not to be missed.
Rec 2:All Relative in This Time Sink Team: Dave<3<Karkat<3Terezi<3Dave Creator: Team Round 1 Entry Why I’m recommending it: I am a sucker for good action descriptors, and this fic has it. The characterization and pictures are great too, but what really ties this piece together is the story of what's going on... Karkat and Dave's body language towards each other, how Terezi reacts... It's all fantastic stuff.
Rec 3:The Frost Witch and the Lady of Thorns Team: Jade<3Rose Creator: Team Round 2 Entry Why I’m recommending it: I don't care if this fic gets reccommended by 200 different people, this bitch needs to be read. The descriptions are perfect, the pictures really add to the story, and Rose. Oh Rose. Tugs at the heartstrings in all the right ways and even though you all should have read this, its worth another look.
