Snowflake meme, part 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 haven't been active enough lately to know what's new and obscure, so here are some old and (possibly?) obscure things (see warnings in the fic headers):
No reason to cry by Syntia13 is Beast Wars Optimus Primal/Dinobot, and just the pairing makes me squee a lot. I love how this the fic describes the way their relationship develops (more or less directly) from struggle over leadership to an uneasy and unfamiliar (to Primal) sort of relationship.
And by the same author, In a spider web, which is Tarantulas/Cheetor and deeply, wonderfully creepy. It's Tarantulas' POV and describes a terrifying semi-consensual relationship between the two of them.
Untitled Shattered Glass Rodimus/Galvatron by vani_nessa was written before we had a toy or any canon on SG Galvatron, but damn, do I like this version of him. He and Rodimus reflect each other's issues beautifully.
And of course not to forget the illustration by puffintalk.
And from Usenet (I forget how I even got linked to this), Emo Boys are Easy by Derik Smith, featuring Dead End and an Emo Boy OC. It's listed as Kiss Players fic, but if Kiss Players had been like THIS I would have tracked it all down enthusiastically.
