Snowflake Challenge #6
Jan. 11th, 2021 04:31 pmLucky for me, I just finished documenting all my AO3 bookmarks into a spreadsheet last night! So now I have a bunch of fic to rec.
The Avengers
Perfect by Reioka - Tony & his bots; Gen; G - Everything Tony has ever given life to has been perfect. Dum-E knows this, because Tony said so.
Switch It Up, Swap It Out by rebelmeg - Tony & Avengers Team; Gen; G - Tony has a weird dream visit from a certain God of Mischief, and spends the next week hopscotching in and out of his teammates' bodies. It is precisely as bizarre as it sounds.
This is a Team Bonding Exercise? by rebelmeg - Tony & Avengers Team; Gen; G - Tony takes the Avengers to his favorite spa for pedicures! Mixed reactions ensue.
what can they do but burn? by Aryadrutting - Tony & Avengers Team & Humanity; Gen; Not Rated - Tony has been building impossible things since his birth. What's one more miracle?
Or humanity and the stones are connected and Thanos should really listen to them.
Sleep Tight by onward_came_the_meteors - Bruce & Thor; Gen; G - Thor hadn't expected to finish the mission with Bruce Banner falling asleep on top of him, but he didn't seem to have much choice in the matter.
Dragon Quest XI
Illuminate by jamiesfreckles - Erik/Hero, Hero & Team, Hendrik/Sylvando; Multi; T - "When the Time Sphere shatters beneath his blade, El is plunged into the past, but he takes his memories with him.
Landing in the past, unhurt but deeply shaken, El looks at the smiling faces of his friends and resolves to keep the future a secret. After all, what they don’t know can’t hurt them, and El will simply have to stop anything else that can."
Haikyuu!!
Setting Tongues by merlywhirls - Kageyama & Hinata, Kageyama & Takeda, Kageyama & Ukai; Gen; Not Rated - Kageyama learns how to open up, how to move on, and how to open his mouth.
Kuroko no Basuke
Friend Request Pending by magnificentbirb - Akashi & Kagami; Gen; G - "There is a notification staring at Akashi from his Skype window: a new friend request. That in itself would normally not give him pause, but this friend request is different. This friend request is from Kagami Taiga.
(aka, The one where Akashi is baffled by friendship but oddly not opposed to it.)"
Boku no Hero Academia
Clenched Fists and Battle Cries by SammyD - Bakugou & Eri; Gen; T - “I like it. What’s that?” she asked, pointing to something on the floor of the closet.
Bakugou took a step back to see what she pointed at and his eyes landed on a large lump.
“That’s my punching bag,” he responded.
“Why is there a picture of the ice boy on it?”
“Stress relief.”
Tall Tales by rythyme (pugglemuggle) - Kirishima & Bakusquad; Gen; G - Somewhere in the forests of North America wanders a friendly red-haired lumberjack named Kirishima Eijirou. Like most lumberjacks, he's strong, brave, and a little lonely. Unlike most lumberjacks, he's twenty feet tall.
Or: Kirishima is a literal giant lumberjack. Kaminari, Sero, Bakugou, and Ashido are normal-sized lumberjacks who adopt Kirishima into their logging crew. The five of them eat pancakes, chop down trees, save small villages, and—most importantly—become friends.
Pokemon
Denounce the Evils by Betwixtyiff & RokettoMusashi - Team Rocket; Gen, Multi; T - All lives touch other lives to create something anew and alive.
With the loss of Team Rocket as an organization, Jessie, James, and Meowth set out to do something they never would have previously dreamed - backtracking across the regions, reuniting with old friend and foe alike, in an attempt to make up for their wrongs. Join the trio as they take off on a determined search to find their white tomorrow on the path of righteousness.
Sonic the Hedgehog
what you see is what you get (just a guy who loves adventure!) by vinndetta - Sonic & Shadow; Gen; G - Sonic the Hedgehog isn't a stranger to love, despite the fact that others think he is. It doesn't matter that he's never dated anybody. Sonic has more room in his heart than anyone can ever imagine.
Fire and Smoke by Speedy1236 - Team Sonic; Gen; T - For some reason, it seemed like it passed everyone's notice that it's a VOLCANIC island. Team Sonic's day of outdoor fun on Angel Island takes a turn for the worst.
A Triple Threat Drama/Disaster/Adventure Short(ish) Story with lots of dramatic scenery and focus on character reactions (and cheap suspense XD).
The Legend of Zelda
Sound of the Sea by Blueskullcandy - Legend (Linked Universe) & Aryll; Gen; G - Wind’s island is small. Almost pathetically so. And that’s kinda the problem.
Because on an island this small, it is impossible for Legend to escape the sound of the sea.
In Emergency Situations, Your Sword Can Provide Medical Attention by RockettoMusashi - Fi & Link; Gen; T - He’s certain he’ll stay with Fi forever if she lets him, but even in some darker world where they part ways indefinitely, he knows he’ll still hear her voice in his heart. Urging him, every so often, to slow his stride and look to the bigger picture. Singing numbers and percentages in his ears when it’s going to be okay isn’t enough, felling his anxious heart with raw data and precise truths.
// Link falls ill before taking on the Fire Sanctuary, and the benevolent spirit that sleeps in his sword finds herself unable to keep him from her sights.
Until Next Time by SemiSolace - Fi & Link, Link & Zelda; Gen; G - As far as Fi is concerned, her purpose is to guide the one chosen to be the hero as he faces his destiny. Acting as a friend to a boy who isn't quite a hero yet is absolutely not her purpose in the slightest. But there are years to pass before the seal binding Demise weakens to a point where intervention is necessary and there is little to do except train Link and entertain whatever idea of friendship he has. She calculates that it won't change much, except perhaps ensuring he is better prepared for what is to come. She is wrong.
For non-fic things, I'd like to shout out this Voltron AMV:
For its impeccable rhythm,
and the Steven Universe fancomic Steven *AU*niverse: Ask WhitePearl and Steven:
