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.

This fic really delivers on giving me more of everything that I loved about the original novel while twisting events to go with a fun new scenario! I love all the delicious pining angst and how deeply these two love each other and cozy scenery descriptions. The smut was hot and sweet and the resolution was perfect! It also has a fun hint of epistolary with a letter from an outsider character's POV in the last chapter, which I found a very charming touch. If you like this book and like the idea of "What if Valancy discovered the truth about her heart via the added layer of complication of discovering an unexpected pregnancy?", I cannot rec this fic enough.
