Rec 1: Mist (http://hso2012-r2s1.dreamwidth.org/4703.html)
Team: Aradia<3Feferi
Creator: Round2 Team Entry
Why I’m recommending it: The animated drawings depicted well the two sides, Fef and Aradia, and the plot, while moving slowly, really gave off well the feeling of confusion and desire to know of Fef as she struggled with the 'ghost' she kept seeing, whom she could only remember vaguely. The story itself kind of hurts, in a way, because of what they were and why they are trapped in a loop, but it is also rather sweet, because they are still trapped in a way that keeps them together, even though they cannot touch or interact. it's beautiful even though sad, and the writing itself merges well with the soft drawings, it's a pleasure to read and watch :D

Rec 2: The Puppet and the Brute (http://hso2012-r2s1.dreamwidth.org/1851.html)
Team: Bro<3Dad
Creator: Round2 Team Entry
Why I’m recommending it: seriously, it's quite heart breaking, because it narrates the story of two who couldn't be more different from each other, one with the longing to touch without destroy, the other with the lack of emotions to really feel, but it's beautiful how they dance around each other, interacting and getting progressively closer, how there is no successful deus ex machina to solve immediately all their problems but they are still willing to continue, because they want to keep on trying to find their happy place.

Rec 3: Untitled Gamzee<>Karkat(http://hs-olympics.dreamwidth.org/13513.html?thread=2530761#cmt2530761)
Team: Aradia<3Rose
Creator: galacticbishoujo (bonus round1)
Why I’m recommending it: while it's short, the descriptions are sweet and flowing, and the pace is gentle as it moves on, detailing Karkat while painting Gamzee's face. The closeness it's required to make this work is really felt despite the shortness, and the moirail-feel it gives... it's really sweet and adorable :D

Oh gosh, thank you for recommending my Aradia<3Feferi Fic U///U
