Round 2 entries I voted for that didn't make it to Phase 2 edition.
Rec 1:Freedom Team: Davesprite<3Doomed John Creator:celestialsymphony Why I’m recommending it: This was one of the most unique interpretations of the Monsters prompt that I saw. The interpretation of John being doomed withing the AU is really cool and works really well. If I had to give a complaint it's just that the formatting doesn't have any line breaks, but it's totally worth reading despite that formatting haha. So yes overall a really unique fic that captures the dynamic of these 2 in canon well in a different AU setting than anything I've read.
Rec 2:I've Dreamed Of You Team: Karkat<3Karkat Creator:doubleohally Why I’m recommending it: This is a really cool full fledged game that requires some thought. I found it very clever that the team implemented Tumblr blogs with passwords in order to make it so that the reader/player actually had to come up with the right password to progress (though there is also a list of the passwords for those who just want to enjoy the story). The story itself is also pretty sweet and the inclusion of other characters is done in a very clever way.
Rec 3:Throw Me In The FIRE To Save My Life Team: Davesprite<3Jade Creator:rhedbird Why I’m recommending it: Another very unique interpretation of the Monsters prompt! I really liked this AU that features Jade as a teenager who has summoned the harpy Davesprite in an attempt to use the occult to bring back a dead Dave. It's a very emotional fic that touches upon both of their points of view rather well.
