FILL: TEAM JADE<3KARKAT

Rec 1: Bend Around The Blades
Team: Dirk<3Jake<3Jane<3Roxy
Creator: Main Round 1 entry
Why I’m recommending it: Firstly: the art is gorgeous. There was so much work put into this entry, I believe it's amazing how good the art is even if it's for a fic. The fic in itself is very well-written, not to mention it keeps one interested. But the best part would have to be the idea of Jane going through all that because of how much she loves her friends! An endearing fic, with beautiful art from both the pictures and the writing.

Rec 2: IWVAJASAAIACOAMTIOSTBASOBTIMMACWTTOTBM (In which Vriska and John are secret agents and infiltrate a casino on a mission that is originally supposed to be a scouting one, but turns into much more and concludes with the two of them becoming moirails.)
Team: John<>Vriska
Creator: Main Round 1 entry
Why I’m recommending it: A great moiralligance deserved a great spies-teammwork AU, and that's what they got! A great fic, with funny moments and funny character interactions. Both the reader and the characters enjoy themselves throughout the mission. The hilarious artworks go with the characters and situations very well, and add up to an already great entry!

Rec 3: Just Jump
Team: alpha!Dave<3alpha!Rose
Creator: Main Round 1 entry
Why I’m recommending it: The sceneries are just breathtaking, with a color scheme that goes well with what the characters are living. The characters' interactions are well-thought and the essence of the characters, stuck in the alpha universe, is noticable. An inspiring tale of these two, with beautiful art and a great idea to match with "gambling". The idea of making it a flash makes it even more entertaining.

Rec 4:69 to 1 Odds
Team: Jade<3John<3Karkat
Creator: Main Round 1 entry
Why I'm recommending it: What a dynamic trio these make! The prospit twins love Karkat so much, they really just won't give up, no matter how much he hates them. Or does he??? Thoroughly enjoyable, with hilarious situations and amusingly described character interactions. The artworks are just as awesome as the moments in the fic. The ending is heart-warming and fun, definitely something everyone should read!
