Rec Round 1

Congrats on making it through the first two BRS, and welcome to the Rec Round, where you can recommend BR Fills that have been created!

Rec Round 1 will close on July 20th at 11:59PM PT (23:59 PT).

This Round is CLOSED. But perpetually open to new fills.

 

Rules

A rec post must have at least one fill recommended, but can have as many as you want. There should be at least two sentences describing why your recc-ing the fill/why it’s awesome.

You don’t need permission to rec a work.

Don't rec your own work. You can recommend things created by your own team, but please spread the love to other teams too. You’re more than welcome to rec fills to your own prompts!

That being said, the fills that you rec do not have to have been written for your own prompts.

Minors will not be allowed to rec NSFW fills.

Format

Reply to this post with a comment to participate. The header of your comment should be Fill: [Team Name]

For your convenience, here’s a copy/paste box (which has been adapted from SASO’s rec round):

(Please delete all text in parentheses as you go. LEAVE THE HTML ALONE or the bonus round scoring program can't parse your comment. Don't forget a comment subject!) <strong>Title:</strong> (if the author provided a title, you can write it here. If not, identify the work, even if it's as simple as "The Jurassic Park AU" or "Untitled Poem") <strong>URL:</strong> (copy the direct link to the comment from the "link" area in Dreamwidth's comment header) <strong>Creator(s):</strong> (the dreamwidth handle of the creator, which you can turn into a link by using the code <user name="dw_username">) <strong>Rating:</strong> (Include the original maturity rating for this fill) <strong>Ship/Character:</strong> (the ship/character this work is focused on. "&" indicates a platonic relationship, "/" is non-platonic.) <strong>Fandom:</strong> (what fandom the ship is from) <strong>Major Tags:</strong> (https://sportsfest.dreamwidth.org/3623.html, when applicable; if this work doesn't require major tags, write "None" here.) <strong>Additional Tags:</strong> (anything else that you, the rec-er, feel requires tagging; can include jokey tumblr-style tags here; may also pull from the "Additional Tags" list from the URL above, if applicable; otherwise, write "None" here.) <strong>Why is this work awesome?:</strong> (Include at least two coherent sentences in non-keysmash words, although a good keysmash is always allowed)

Scoring

Each fill is worth 5 points, limited to 10 times the number of team members (10n).

For information on the recommended number of comments to reach a medal threshold, see the SportsFest Scoring Information.

Etc.

If the original fill was tagged with a major tag, it should be reflected in the rec of that fill.

To help search for fills, you might want to use the Sportsfest Prompt/Fill Database (created by Icie!)

For your convenience, here are links to Bonus Round 1 and Bonus Round 2.

Contact the mods if you have questions or concerns!

Title: untitled kuroyaku where kuroo is an idiot in love
URL: here
Creator(s): ideallyqualia
Rating: G
Ship/Character: kuroo tetsurou/yaku morisuke
Fandom: haikyuu!!
Major Tags: none
Additional Tags: none

Why is this work awesome?: this is the best kind of introspective fic, where kuroo is trying to parse whether he's attracted to yaku when he most definitely is. the In Love But Also In Denial trope is one of my favorites, as is the Knowing Other Party (yaku is not as oblivious as kuroo is, and it's wonderful)

and kai. kai is amazing.


Title: untitled ushioi college au
URL: here
Creator(s): murphym
Rating: G
Ship/Character: oikawa tooru/ushijima wakatoshi
Fandom: haikyuu!!
Major Tags: none
Additional Tags: angst with happy ending

Why is this work awesome?: im still in tears over this fill, ive read it 294803 times and it's still just as good as the first. i couldnt even string together a coherent comment after my first read through, and i still doubt i could try to express how much i love this without sinking into the floor to cry over how much i love ushioi. this is a t r e a s u r e

Ushijima is still many things Oikawa already knew, but what he learns is that Ushijima is also kind, reliable, and wasted on him.

the SOUND i made when i read that was not even remotely human.

the lock and key metaphor destroyed me in the best way possible.

Ushijima looks at him with an intensity that burns through the darkness of his dorm, “I’ll never understand, Oikawa, how you wish to be around the person you hate so much.”

He laughs bitterly through tears, “I don’t hate you, Ushiwaka. I hate - I hate that I don’t hate you.”

Title: untitled girls who are healing
URL: here
Creator(s): babster
Rating: G
Ship/Character: hiyama chinatsu/koumoto akira
Fandom: ballroom e youkoso
Major Tags: none
Additional Tags: none

Why is this work awesome?: i love how this bittersweet and wholesome fill captures not just the harsh edges of chinatsu and akira's relationship, but also the softer parts about them where they're learning to heal and be friends with each other again.

Akira can't have her as a leader, anymore, but she's slowly regaining her as a friend.

this is favorite line ughfkdhdfkd. this fill is everything i need when it comes to them <3


Title: untitled saelisa being drunk and adorable
URL: here
Creator(s): pocket_panda
Rating: T
Ship/Character: haiba alisa/tanaka saeko
Fandom: haikyuu!!
Major Tags: none
Additional Tags: alcohol, slightly crack-ish, Saeko is very gay

Why is this work awesome?: give me more girls in love just like this. i didnt get a chance to comment on this properly, but i really liked the emphasis on how much saeko and alisa are completely smitten with each other (*cough cough* as it should be). this is such a cute take on my prompt, and i cant get enough of it!
