Rec 1:4 GR4ND 4DV3NTUR3 Team: Sollux <3 Terezi Creator: Main Round 1 Entry Why I’m recommending it: I love this fill's depiction of an integrated human/troll society. The attention to detail really makes the world come alive. The dialogue and narration are both beautifully written, and the characterization feels completely natural. The witty prose and neatly-stylized art make for a very fun read.
Rec 2:Monster Talk Team: Gamzee <3 Tavros Creator: Main Round 2 Entry Why I’m recommending it: The sheer degree of heartwarming in this fill is incredible. Gamzee and Tavros look and act absolutely adorably, and the ending is perfectly romantic (guaranteed to make you "bawwwww" out loud). I love the interpretation of the "monsters" theme as well, and how it straddles the line between metaphorical and literal.
Rec 3:i am your cross temporal houdini Team: Dave <3 Dave Creator: Main Round 3 Entry Why I’m recommending it: Only Dave Strider could have so much of his shit together and yet simultaneously be so bewildered with regards to his own time shenanigans. Dave's interaction with himself is a high point of this fill- the temporal separation make Past Dave and Future Dave seem like different characters, yet both undeniably (and hilariously) Dave. There's so many oh-so-quotable snippets of dialogue, and the comedic timing is perfect.
