Fandom Snowflake Challenge Day 2

Day 2

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Drop a link to your post in the comments. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom and maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.




1) Sanctuary by [livejournal.com profile] velvetwhip. This is a Willow/Riley set in Season 6 and while I know that Willow/Riley is not the pairing for everyone, I definitely think this story is worth a look. The characters are handled beautifully and their characterizations feel true to the situation they are presented with. The angst and darker underbelly of the plot is captured beautifully. I could absolutely picture this story happening in my head and it gave me feelings of squee.

2) Leftover People by [livejournal.com profile] frogfarm I love stories that explore Season 1's episode "The Pack" and this story is no exception as it tackles a Heidi/Willow pairing. It's dark and sexy and completely hardcore.

3) The New Girl by [livejournal.com profile] secondmezzanine. This is a How I Met Your Mother AU Barney/Robin fic set in high school (which I'm a total sucker for.) This story may be 6,400 words, but you wouldn't know it from the addictive writing style. There's angst, humor, and fun. How can you go wrong?

Well, first off, it's Willow/Riley and second off, you wrote it for me so it comes with an extra squee attached to it. :P
