Noble and prized.

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Landsailor, Avatar: Legend of Korra - beautiful, heartbreaking, and uplifting character study of Jinora and the new airbenders.

turn a little faster; the world will follow after, Deep Space Nine - a radically different take on post-canon Cardassia than most fics, bucking a lot of fandom trends and coming out stronger for it, wonderful use of minor characters that deserved more screen time and sympathy, genuinely funny as can be and quiet and subdued when necessary, an all-around well-told good story. With a pairing I'd never have guessed but now love just as much as any OTP I could care to name. You'll get what I mean when when you get to the end.

The Grandfather Clause series, The West Wing/X-Men Movieverse - brief pitch, Josh Lyman is a projective and receptive synaesthetic empath because he's a mutant, and he's Magneto's grandson because he has exactly that sort of luck. I spent about two days flailing about this to anyone who'd listen because I'd decided, independent of reading this fic, I'd decided that out of all the characters on The West Wing Josh Lyman was the one who most deserved some pain-in-the-ass superpowers, and then I found these fics existed and my life was made whole and complete.

It's a seamless melding of the two canons, doing what the best crossovers do and use the different parts to comment on and compliment the others, and I wish there were about 30,000 more words of this to bind together and fold up to keep in my back pocket like the best old paperbacks. Utterly delightful, start to finish, and I hope you think so, too.
