Here are just a few of the things I enjoyed from the collection, in (mostly) 3 categories of 3.
1. My gifts were phenomenal!!!
Work Link:http://archiveofourown.org/works/60313405 Fandom: Golden Kamuy Title: cat meme collection Description/why rec: As it says on the tin, a collection of art where Ogata (the sociopathic assassin sniper extraordinaire) is subbed for popular cat memes (which capture his soul wonderfully).
Work Link:http://archiveofourown.org/works/59264503 Fandom: Golden Kamuy Title: Fair Play Description/why rec: In which Ogata deals with a canonical personal tragedy like a champ - and visits the fair. Feels like a delightful missing scene from canon and really captures a complex and atypical character well.
Work Link:http://archiveofourown.org/works/59890447 Fandom: Dr. Stone Title: above this sceptred sway Description/why rec: You know that thing Tsukasa and Senkuu do in canon where they're ideological enemies and literally at war and yet they work beautifully together and trust and complement each other utterly? This is an excellent canon divergence that remains true to their canon... all that. The plot kept me guessing and the character interactions kept me grinning.
2. Some art I really liked!
Work Link:https://archiveofourown.org/works/59177995 Fandom: Hamlet - Shakespeare Title: Hamlet Costume Designs Description/why rec: I found these historically accurate designs so cool and eye opening. I feel like I got a glimpse of fashions I couldn't have imagined.
Work Link:https://archiveofourown.org/works/59067808 Fandom: Original Work Title: better kept in secret Relationship: pirate captain/navy captain nemesis Description/why rec: This art is just stunning! Romantic, stylish, vivid.
Work Link:https://archiveofourown.org/works/60962314 Fandom: Original Work Title: [Art] Tiny Witch With a Tiny Familiar Description/why rec: Such a creative use of nature: leaves and flowers and light and shadow.
3. There were so many bangers of interactive fiction!!
Work Link:https://archiveofourown.org/works/60244567 Fandom: Original Work Title: THE WOODS ARE LOVELY Category: F/F Description/why rec: This was creepy and outright scary in turns, very effective and immersive. A story of codependency and horror.
Work Link:https://archiveofourown.org/works/60548581 Fandom: SCP Foundation Title: Just Another Day in Paradise Description/why rec: If the above made good use of the IF format for horror, this one uses the format to really make the time loop sink in. Fascinating, then depressing. I enjoyed the writing style, spare but evocative.
Work Link:https://archiveofourown.org/works/60750880 Fandom: Severance (TV) Relationship: Peter Kilmer/Mark Scout Title: Assigned Restorative Therapy Session for Mark S. Description/why rec: Participate in a virtual punishment enrichment module at Lumon! I'm impressed with how well this captures the corporate voice from canon, and felt like I got a good dose of how the characters feel under the company's constant, patronizing control.
4. And one more for good measure that didn't fit in the above categories!
Work Link:https://archiveofourown.org/works/60914662 Fandom: Original Work Relationship: Desperate Supervillain Whose Life is in Danger/Superhero They Reluctantly Go to For Help Title: An Uninvited Guest Description/why rec: A classic superhero/supervillain adventure with well-developed characters, fun banter, and a mission to boot. Funny, charming, and just an enjoyable read.
