Rec Post

This post is for anyone to post recommendations from the 2024 collection! There are currently 1267 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:

• Work Link
• 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!)

On December 12th 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. If you would like your rec list to be titled something in specific, please give the title in the same spot! Otherwise it will be titled "Rec #".

FIC

let me in let me in let me in
Delicious in Dungeon
Short but incredibly sweet (so to speak...) Farcille post-canon fic. Gloriously morbid and evocative imagery.

Letters From a Younger Sister
Sunless Sea
Wonderful epistolary that hits hard if you're familiar with canon. Those reading canon-blind can still appreciate the eerie beauty of it.

LOGIC PUZZLES

By All Their Powers Combined

I really had fun with this puzzle, it's fun to solve and incredibly entertaining when you find out what the answers are.

Don't Solve This Puzzle
There Is No Antimemetics Division (SCP Foundation verse)
Fantastic concept that works so well in-universe... I loove gamification serving narrative and I loved the idea of using puzzles to store antimemetic hazards or otherwise dangerous information. This was the first puzzle I tried solving so I found it quite challenging but I got there in the end! Also, I can only recommend this creator's podfics. (Here's hoping this will age well.)

the end is only the beginning; the beginning is only the end
There Is No Antimemetics Division (SCP Foundation verse)
Another TINAD puzzle that's closely rooted in specific canon events and more about solving a time loop of sorts. Another delightful addition to the canon.
I strongly recommend checking out this creator's other TINAD work, too! (Here's hoping this will age well 2x.)
