Rec Post

This post is for anyone to post recommendations from the 2022 collection! There are currently 771 works in the collection, so it's a lot to go through and also a lot that could be highlighted! You can choose to post things for whatever reason you want, and can post as many different recs as you want. There is no minimum number of recs that need to be in a post, so if you have one thing you want to highlight you can post that one! You also may post anonymously.

Your posts need to have some indication of what you're reccing (so not just a list of links), but otherwise how much information you include is up to you! Suggestions of things to include:

• Fandom
• Title
• Medium
• Category (e.g. m/m)
• Warnings
• Relationship or characters
• Tags
• Summary
• Why you're reccing it (or, alternatively, if you're posting a list on a theme, include the theme/trope/kink at the top of the list!)

(The list above is just suggestions of things that someone might want to see while browsing and not a list of required information!)

And of course, don't forget to link to the work(s)!

On December 3rd we'll be making a reading list of any recs here that wish to be included. If you wish for your recommendations to be included in that reading list, please have "Include in final reading list" somewhere in your post.

Rec:
How about the rescue from Sakhalin but with ghosts and supernatural?

This is an easy rec because not only was this one of my favourite reads from the FIAB'22 exchange, it's also a really creative take on canon, adding supernatural elements to make the Sakhalin prison even more hellish. Basically, I think it can be enjoyed as a story even if you don't know canon and these characters. But if you do know them it's just fantastically in-character and emotionally resonant.

I have all the Orpheus and Erudice vibes from this story as Biggles goes to "hell" to retrieve von Stalhein.
