Make a rec list of fanworks! Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So, with limited connection, I can't really do research and will just rec the last fics I have in my AO3 bookmarks.

First a fanart:

Tokyo Babylon / X-1999
Coughing fit by 5pm (T, Seishirou/Subaru Hanahaki)

Then fics! I love darkfic, heed the warnings! Mostly m/m this year.

Lupin III

Supermassive Retinol Overdose! by oxfordRoulette (Mature, 77472 words)
Something's messing with their heads. They're forgetting names, events, and remembering heists that never happened. After Jigen and Lupin both recall something horrendously embarrassing, the gang decides to get to the bottom of it.
Fujiko is missing, Goemon's losing it. Jigen's catching feelings. Lupin falls apart.
(polygang with a jiglup focus, heavily, and I mean heavily illustrated)

So, what the summary doesn't explain is that the illustrations are very, very good <3
Also, the plot and everything else.

The two other Lupin III fics I have enjoyed the most this year are by my friend anysin, and are darkfic. One is deathfic with sickness, and the other is dark smut.

You Know I Can't Love You More by anysin (Explicit, 10000 words, Lupin/Jigen)
Something is wrong with Lupin, and when the worst case scenario becomes reality, Jigen has to confront what he feels for him

Share That Secret Thought by anysin (Explicit, 900 words, Albert, Jigen, Jigen->Lupin)
After things are wrapped up withy PeopleLog, Albert wants to hear about Jigen's most private fantasies

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

judas touch by fullborn (M, 5892 words, Bill/Jim)
“And remember,” Bill had said, when Jim followed him into the maze of the Circus and its double-dealings, the hidden knives, the handshakes at dawn, “In case you’re wondering, it’s only for life.” The same might have been said for Jim’s feelings for Bill.

This is everything I wanted about the ambiguity of their relationship.

Our Flag Means Death

Hear the mermaids singing, each to each by Leukaraii (Explicit, 3223 words, Izzy/Ed)
"Captain?" Izzy rasps. "Orders?"
"Hold me down," Blackbeard commands casually, sliding so his long legs encircle Izzy and his ass presses flush against Izzy's leather-bound bulge. "I wanna jack off while I'm drowning."

Smut that's so very depressed but miraculously also very hot.

Doctor Who

One of Them Is a Highly Explosive Combination of Unstable Elements, and the Other Is a Bomb by astrogirl (T, 15225 words, Twelve/Missy)
The Doctor and Missy pretend to be married in order to prevent a ship full of honeymooning couples from exploding. They are very bad at it.

Do you remember what I said about darkfic. This is not this. This fic is one of the funniest fics you can do about this ship while staying IC. I love them.

Trigun

waltz of the damned by SetsuntaMew (M, 1880 words, Knives/Legato)
Legato sparkles so terribly brightly.
a composition in 9 movements

With Trigun being kinda in fashion again, people have started writing about my ship again. This fic has Knives being too nice, like a lot of them, but damn, is it well written!

Arcane

the heart as a metaphor for the heart by kinematics (T, 16615, Jayce/Viktor)
The opposite of a haunting is something very lonely.

Corto Maltese (en français)

Brumes anglaise by Eilisande (PG, 9531 words, Corto/Rasputin
La rumeur avertit Corto d'un fait étrange. Raspoutine a menacé de tuer un homme et n'a pas mis sa menace à exécution. Inadmissible et vexant. Corto est censé être l'unique homme que Raspoutine a juré de tuer sans mettre sa menace à exécution. Décidé à en avoir le coeur net, il remonte jusque dans les brumesanglaises, où il se pourrait qu'il ait à sortir Raspoutine d'un sacré faux pas. La raison dicterais de profiter pour s'en débarrasser définitivement, mais Ras est à lui, et malheure aux fées celtiques qui oseraient s'attaquer à lui !

Cadeau pour moi ! <3
