Rec 1:untitled Terezi♥Karkat; legal thriller + punk Team: Jake♥Jane Creator: primitiveradiogoddess Why I’m recommending it: This feels like a slice of a much larger story, and I love when that kind of thing happens. It's got Terezi playing helpless and then pulling out her blind girl kung fu on people, all to settle a legal case. She whirls Karkat along in her wake and that's exactly how I ship it.
Rec 2:untitled Terezi♥Aradia; post-apocalyptic + magical girl Team: Jake♥Jane Creator: primitiveradiogoddess Why I’m recommending it: You can really taste and feel how ruined everything is here. It's a really cool genre to tell from Terezi's perspective, because she smells the grit and the grease and the destruction, and it resonates. It's what happens after the magical girls come and try to save everyone. Things get destroyed along the way.
Rec 3:A 1-in-8 Chance Team: Terezi♠Vriska Creator: round one entry Why I’m recommending it: It takes a lot to sell me on one quadrant or another for these girls. Their relationship is such a wreck and I don't think either of them really understand their feelings for each other. This story plays with their hate in a slow subtle way, so you can feel it bubbling under the surface of their strained fondness for each other. And when the hate comes out, it feels natural. I love that in a story.
