Fandom • Pairing/Characters: The Hobbit • Thranduil/wife, Legolas
Word Count/Medium: 658
Summary: Thranduil mourns, and retreats into a place where he thinks love can't find him.
Why I'm Reccing This: Heart-warming short fic as Legolas tries to rebuild a bridge broken caused by the death of his mother.
Prompt: caught in a robbery

Title: Cup O'Kindness
Author/Artist: moviegeek03
Fandom • Pairing/Characters: MCU • Steve, Bucky, Sam, Natasha, Tony
Word Count/Medium: 2,300+
Summary: The last year has been hard on all the Avengers, but Steve in particular. His search for Bucky keeps coming up empty handed and all trails have gone cold. The rest of his team persuades him to let loose and relax some for New Year’s Eve. He never realized it would be exactly what he needed, in more ways than one, or that a certain friend had been watching out for him all along.
Why I'm Reccing This: Really wonderfully written. Steve is grieving over losing Bucky twice, and then in the midst of getting mugged, a little miracle happens.
Prompt: caught in a robbery

Author/Artist: ofstormsandwolves

Word Count/Medium: 3,200+
Summary: The day before Alec's and Rose's wedding, it seems that there's one particular marriage vow they may be encountering all too soon...
Why I'm Reccing This: Love the idea of the ship (this is the first fic I ever read for Alec/Rose.) Part of a series, but I found this to be something enjoyable as a standalone too. The description of being caught in such a situation was very vivid and strongly written.
Prompt: caught in a robbery

Word Count/Medium: 3,200+
Summary: …Or when mostly harmless things may be transformed into weaponry.

Prompt: wasteland

Title: The Five Paladins of the Apocalypse
Author/Artist: the_cloud_whisperer
Fandom • Pairing/Characters: Voltron: Legendary Defender • the Paladins
Word Count/Medium: 2,500
Summary: Once, they were only human. And every human has demons.
Why I'm Reccing This: An eerie slow-burn hurt/no-comfort scenario where the Paladins become the villains and turn all of the universe into a wasteland. Mixed in with a bit of Revelations. I love this one a lot. :)

Author/Artist: henning
Fandom • Pairing/Characters: Lord of the Rings • dead elf

Summary: -
Why I'm Reccing This: The picture just screams death and waste all around, and then there are little balls of light floating about that just go so well with the entire image.
