Rec 1:Untitled Team: Dirk<3Jake<3Jane<3Roxy Creator: Nexitan Why I’m recommending it: I'm a huge fan of AU s and this is how you do them right! This story is short but it's jam packed with detail and backstory in a way that doesn't bog it down or detract from what's happening. It draws upon the source materials to give us an idea of what Karkat is facing and will face when he gets to Durmstrang while still keeping John and Karkat in character. This one really stuck out to me because they made such a difficult prompt work like, well, magic.
Rec 2:Untitled Team: Dirk<3Jake<3Jane<3Roxy Creator: playerprophet Why I’m recommending it: DirkJake silent hill cross over, I think I hardly need to say more (but of course I will!). This fic utilizes letters to briefly and succinctly let us in both on how they ended up in Silent Hill and what happening before Jake arrived and after, which keeps the reader interested and, for those of us in on Silent Hill's game, nervous. The little details that fans can use to make the connect, like the muscular doctor with no head draw us in have us biting our nails because we know just what we're seeing. The author teases the horror, just like the game, creating an atmosphere that leaves one feeling like this little snippet just isn't enough.
Rec 3:Untitled Team: Dave<3Rose<3Terezi Creator: megaparspecs Why I’m recommending it: Yes, the other DirkJake Silent Hill crossover, I can't help but list it when it's so amazing as well! This one takes us right into the realm of Silent Hill 2, and those who know the game know exactly why this scene is so very chilling. Jake's confusion is palpable, and it draws us in even though the ones who are going to appreciate this the most know exactly what they're seeing. This is another case where canon and characters are blended seamlessly, all while maintaining the atmosphere.
Rec 4:Untitled Team: Dave<3Dave Creator: alouetta Why I’m recommending it: I laughed myself sick, just stupidly sick. The descriptors in this story are absolutely top notch, 100% in character. Dave/Terezi interaction isn't always the easiest, but this fic just nails it. Making it into a job interview as well was nothing short of a stroke of genius and it works like clockwork.
