Snowflake Challenge Day 2
*waves* Posting two days in a row?!?! Clearly this is the End of the World.
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.

I will admit my bias, but even were this not written by my best friend, I would love it. The short summary is that there is a Space Bridge Incident, and Sam Witwicky finds himself flung from Bayverse right into TF: Prime!verse. The characterization is perfect, the buildup of tension is slow but superb, and I can't wait for MOAR GIVE ME MORE RIGHT NOW AUUUGH *regains control of herself* Um. Read it read it read it the end.
Fire and Ice (1/8) - Rude Awakening bychildofatlantis
This is an AU fic with the premise that Starscream, not Skyfire, was the partner lost in Earth's ice for four million years. Only one part, thus far, but it's chilling and intense and beautiful all at once. Atalan's fic (most popularly A Wing and a Prayer) always shows a deeper aspect to Skyfire, but this piece gives him sharp edges that I particularly love. Starscream is brilliantly, remorselessly in character as well. ♥
I Sing the Body Symmetric byIT'S STILL A MYSTERY D: zuzeca!!! ♥
Some of the most gorgeously beautiful sex I've ever read. This is a kinkmeme fic, so be warned--massive Orion Pax/Eradicon orgy ahead, with a marvelous side of Megatron/Orion Pax as well. If I knew who wrote this, I would sprawl myself across their shoulders and worship them with cuddles. As an additional bonus, this fic has two OCs written well enough that I wish they were canon. So much love.
Now for some art! With poniez!
Night Watch by Cloudia0, can be found here on deviantart. This is a perennial favorite of mine, and while I log on to deviantart only rarely, I like to look at this once a month or so.
The My Little Pony community is sort of astonishing to me, because it's fanworks are so widely spread over mediums. There are so many original music compositions and songs and videos in addition to the usual brigade of art and fiction (and plushies, so many plushies *_*).
Here are a couple of favorites:
Composure by Slate, available here on furaffinity. Just lovely.
Lonely Dash by Regolithx, available here on deviantart. Rainbow Dash always strikes me as a little tragic--despite her loud praise of herself, she's very insecure. More hugs are definitely in order.
There are so many more things I want to recc, but most of them are things others have already posted (and described more beautifully than I could). I'm not trying to leave anyone out, and know that if I've ever reviewed your work or talked to you about it, that work was a Big Deal to me, because I am sort of horribly shy and never really know how to praise someone like they deserve.
