Friday open thread: rec the thing(s)

[dolorosa_12]

This will be the last Friday in which I use snowflake_challenge's prompt as my own prompting question in the open thread, for 2024 at least. Their prompt (and mine) is:

Make a rec list of fanworks!

So, rec the thing! Feel free to post a link to your own answer for Snowflake if you've done it already, rather than rewriting the whole thing out again in a comment, if you prefer.





I decided I was going to use this as an opportunity to comment on, and then rec, my favourite things from this year's fandomtrees collection. My favourites are here (limited to fandoms with which I'm familiar):

continuation (200 words) by Shadaras
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), Star Wars Original Trilogy
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Cassian Andor & Jyn Erso
Characters: Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor
Additional Tags: Double Drabble, Post-Canon, Spies & Secret Agents
Summary:

There is no celebration on Coruscant when the Emperor dies within the second Death Star.

This really captured that sense of ceaseless work and vigilance, and the sense of an eternal, multigenerational struggle against the Empire that is such a strong part of Rogue One, and carried it forward post-canon. I loved the little hints about the minutiae of their daily spy work, and the dynamic between the two characters.

the way home (621 words) by redgear
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Spinning Silver - Naomi Novik
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Wanda Vitkus, Sergey Vitkus
Additional Tags: POV First Person, Missing Scene
Summary:

Wanda and Sergey drive back from Pavys with the goats.

This is a lovely little moment — a hint of hope, and a glimpse of the three siblings together, settling into their new lives.

Lady Diana Saint Nicholas' To-Do List (481 words) by egelantier
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Tarot Sequence - K.D. Edwards
Rating: General Audiences

Relationships: Rune Saint John/Addam Saint Nicholas
Characters: Diana Saint Nicholas
Additional Tags: to-do list, The Tarot Sequence Book 3: The Hourglass Throne
Summary:

Diana's hands are always full.

This was so much fun to read! I really enjoying seeing outsider points of view, and the to-do list format was an interesting twist on that.

Do you have rec lists of your own?
